Pick up my guitar and play…just like yesterday…
The Who is an amazing band. It really took me a long time to realize that, for some reason. I don’t think i started listening to The Who until I was 17, in fact. Sure, I had heard “Baba O’Riley” before then, but it never struck me as anything particularly interesting. In fact, if I recall, I disliked the iconic synth backing track. What a damned fool I was.
Anyway, that’s beside the point. Youtube covers! All acoustic this time, and all Who.
First up, a wonderful rendition of “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”
Next, a straightforward cover of “Pinball Wizard.” This guy is really energetic and evidently passionate about the music, which is great.
“The Seeker” has been one of my favorites since I started listening to The Who. I like this guy’s slight variations on this fairly close cover.
Who doesn’t love “Baba O’Riley?” It just makes you wanna scream…”OUT HERE IN THE FIELDS!!!!” Too bad this video is out of sync with the audio, but this guy’s amazing.
Well, that’s it for now. More Youtube covers to come whenever I feel like it.
