TheTallOne Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 I just got tickets to the Who with the Pretenders at Mohegan Sun in December. Cost me $200, but it's worth every penny.
The Seeker Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 } } I want it I want it I want it (but you can't have it!) My chance will come again next year. Have fun, Connor.
miamisammy29 Posted September 17, 2006 Report Posted September 17, 2006 Wow!, sounds like a cool show. I just might have to get to that one.
TheTallOne Posted December 3, 2006 Author Report Posted December 3, 2006 The show was amazing. The Pretenders sounded awesome and Daltrey and Townshend were amazing. I would have paid twice the ticket price for an hour of it, and they played for two and a half. Great concert.
The Seeker Posted December 4, 2006 Report Posted December 4, 2006 Great to hear that you had a good time! Were you far away from the stage? I can't wait for them to return to Europe. I'll be there.
TheTallOne Posted December 4, 2006 Author Report Posted December 4, 2006 I was maybe 100 yards away. Great seats and a great show.
MarcM Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Who played bass? Was it a reasonable replacement for The Ox? Who was on drums too, for that matter? Glad you had a good time!
RonJonSurfer Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Come to think of it, didn't two of The Pretenders OD a couple of months apart? Who plays with them these days?
TheLizard Posted December 7, 2006 Report Posted December 7, 2006 Who played bass? Was it a reasonable replacement for The Ox? Who was on drums too, for that matter? Glad you had a good time! I'm not sure who plays bass with The Who anymore, but I believe Zak Starkey (son of the great Ringo Starr) has taken over Keith Moon's spot for this tour.
edna Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 Come to think of it, didn't two of The Pretenders OD a couple of months apart? Who plays with them these days? Adam Seymour (guitar) and Andy Hobson (bass) are part of the curent line-up. Martin Chambers was there since the beginning. Farndon and Honeyman-Scott died both in 1983.
edna Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 Who played bass? Pino Palladino is playing bass with the Who on their tour.
The Seeker Posted December 8, 2006 Report Posted December 8, 2006 He 's been playing bass with them since July 2002. He's a good replacement, as is Zak Starkey.
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 (edited) I was at The Who in December at Mohegan Sun. Awesome, awesome show. Pete's brother was on bass. For those of you who attended, did you hear the announcement that the CD/DVD of that particular show (12/1 Mohegan Sun) was available for sale? All proceeds are going to charities that The Who are involved with. I made the purchase - two CDs and DVD of the Mohegan Sun show. $50 including shipping - not a bad deal. Now I can go to a Who concert anytime I want!! Woo hoo!! Edited January 25, 2007 by Guest
The Seeker Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Pete's brother on bass? Are you sure? He played guitar throughout the rest of the tour. I bought one of the DVDs, not the one of Mohegan though. They're great. Welcome to songfacts!
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 You're right! Pete's brother was on guitar. Had a blonde moment (and I'm blonde so I can say that)!
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 I've gambled at the Mohegan, but have never seen a show. Is it a large arena? And are you Carl's Fishsitter as in our fearless leader Carl? Fishsitter is very hard to say without getting tongue tied.
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 In my opinion, Mohegan is an awesome venue for a concert. Seats about 10,000 and there's really not a bad seat in the house. I've seen several folks there - in fact, most of the concerts I've gone to in the last few years have been there. At Mohegan, I've seen Don Henley, Don Henley and Stevie Nicks, Tom Petty, Matchbox 20, CSN, and some others. Yes, I am our fearless leader's (as in Carl) official fishsitter.
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 That sounds great. I'm originally from CT, but I now live in Georgia. Hopefully one day when I go back for a visit I can catch a show there, instead of wasting all my money on the quarter slots. Awesome! What's the going wage for an official fishsitter? I hope the benefits package is comparable to others in your field.
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 25, 2007 Report Posted January 25, 2007 Definitely worth checking out Mohegan for a show. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Mohegan also has a free venue for concerts (the Wolf Den). It's a bar type environment, and first come, first served. No reserved seating and it's pretty small in there. If you're gambling in the neighborhood, you can definitely hear the band that's playing. I was at a concert at Mohegan in the arena recently (can't remember who I saw), but when we got out, Collective Soul was playing in the Wolf Den and we were able to catch their last set. The benefits and pay for being Carl's fishsitter - in a word - suck. I think I'm gonna hit him up for a raise or else go out on strike!!
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Sorry guys, I'm not here to babysit you all. He has critters that swim around in a tank - those are the guys I babysit for. However, if you're male, cute, and single, then maybe we should talk. :happybanana:
Tenacious_Peaches Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 I love you already, Ms. Sitter.
Carl Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 The fishsitter position is more important than ever, as is the role of squirrelremover. D, I named the fish: Circles - he's the one swimming in circles Wang Chung - he's the little guy Marcel - he's the lobster who's always trying to escape
Carls Fishsitter Posted January 27, 2007 Report Posted January 27, 2007 I'll have you know I'm a damn good fishsitter! I do all the things a good fishsitter would do - let them have wild parties, drink, and party. But sssshhhhhh, don't tell our fearless leader.
