Glastonbury 2007

June 25, 2007

I decided to watch a little television before going to bed and by accident saw a coverage of The Who playing at Glastonbury 2007 (Glastonbury is a yearly music event, comparable to what we have in Holland: Pink Pop, Low Lands etc.). Amazing! These guys just keep on rocking: Pinball Wizard, See me Feel me… all mixed in a great “Tommy” medley. I’m always particularly fond of the opening guitar strum from Pinball Wizard, and I must say Pete Townshend still plays a mean guitar…

One of the striking things was that during some takings of the audience I noticed people in their early twenties singing along with these golden oldies. The music from Tommy must be - well… at least 40 years old and was written and performed when those young ones were not born yet. Obviously their music keeps touching people, like you see with lots of other “bands of old”…

Well… I turned up the volume really high and enjoyed it immensely!!!
