Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists The Who, Live at the University Refectory, Leeds By Toby Green Tuesday 27 June 2006 After nearly forty years, The Who have returned to Leeds. They were playing at the University’s Refectory, the site at which their seminal Live at Leeds album was recorded, which is regarded by many as the best live album ever. Surviving members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, together with their band, which included Ringo Starr’s son, Zak Starkey, played a set full of hits to an intimate crowd to kick off their national tour. Exploding out of the blocks with ‘Who Are You’, and following it up with ‘Can’t Explain’, ‘The Seeker’ and ‘Substitute’ in a row, this was always going to be a gig with one eye fondly on the past. However, despite the encroaching old age of the two remaining original members (both are now in their 60’s), the songs they have played a thousand times still managed to sound fresh and exciting, particularly the towering ‘Baba O’Reilly’, complete with Townshend’s trademark windmilling. The only time the 90 minute concert flagged was during Townshend’s new rock opera, debuting tonight, when even Daltrey looked like he wasn’t sure what was going on. However, fans of The Who are used to Townshend being the overbearing personality; he made sure that everyone knew each song was written by him and even revealed how one song was “too crap” to do as part of his solo work so he decided to record it with The Who. Yet his undeniable rock-star factor remains a contrast to Daltrey, who sipped menthol tea and occasionally unbuttoned his shirt in the claustrophobic heat, although his voice still stands the test of time. They finished with ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’, and sweaty middle-aged men swooned in admiration at their heros. Classic bands playing their old songs are often treated with contempt, but despite showing their age, The Who still managed to thrill. The absence of Keith Moon may have stifled the spontaneity of the band, but the passion and musicianship remain. They may not quite be the best live band in the world right now, but the magic of The Who still lives on. 17/06/06 Most Read Discussed 1. Review: Little Mix – LM5 2.

    ELA GRADE LEVEL OVERVIEWS GRADE 8 INTRODUCTION | GRADE 8 The Grade 8 Core ELA Units take students through literary and nonfiction texts that explore how individuals are affected by their choices, their relationships, and the world around them. In Unit 1, Everyone Loves a Mystery, students will try to determine what attracts us to stories of suspense. Unit 2, Past and Present, asks the Essential Question: What makes you, you? Unit 3, No Risk, No Reward, asks students to consider why we take chances, while Unit 4, Hear Me Out, asks students to consider the unit’s driving question—How do you choose the right words?—by providing a range of texts that allow students to consider how a person’s words can affect an audience. Next, Unit 5’s Trying Times asks students to think about who they are in a crisis. Finally, students finish up the year with an examination of science fiction and fantasy texts as they think about the question “What do other worlds teach us about our own?” in Unit 6, Beyond Reality. 2 ELA Grade Level Overview | GRADE 8 ELA Grade Level Overview Grade 8 Text Complexity 3 ELA Grade Level Overview | GRADE 8 UNIT 1 TEXT COMPLEXITY UNIT 1: EVERYONE LOVES A MYSTERY Unit Title: Everyone Loves a Mystery Essential Question: What attracts us to the mysterious? Genre Focus: Fiction Overview Hairs rising on the back of your neck? Lips curling up into a wince? Palms a little sweaty? These are tell-tale signs that you are in the grips of suspense. But what attracts us to mystery and suspense? We may have wondered what keeps us from closing the book or changing the channel when confronted with something scary, or compels us to experience in stories the very things we spend our lives trying to avoid.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.
