5.0 out of 5 stars Astounding hidden gem, January 17, 2003

This review is from: Celebration: Music Of Pete Townshend (Audio CD)

For a few years, our local NPR station has been playing a tantalizing snippet at 8AM, I was sure it was an orchestral arrangement of "Won't Get Fooled Again", and gradually edged closer to the truth. Thanks to KCHO's news director Todd Thornton, i was steered to the source, and found a copy at Amazon.com And was stunned; the whole of the work is simply amazing. As another reviewer pointed out, "Baba O'Reilly" is truly outstanding. If you are in any way a Who fan, buy this immediately if you can, and do not have it already.

4.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly good, November 16, 2001

this is a solid effort for a 50-year-old rocker! the band is excellent, w/ the outstanding simon phillips on drums, pino palladino on bass, and the julliard orchestra directed by michael kamen. townshend and the ox make cameo appearances, as do linda perry, david sanborn, and the chieftains. the sound is carnegie hall golden, and roger sounds like he's still got some left.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute must for the serious Who fan !, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Celebration: Music Of Pete Townshend (Audio CD)

An eclectic mix of Who favorites and standards, performed by Roger Daltrey with Guest musicians. Roger performs our favorites in ways we've never heard before. John Entwistle's bass solo is one of the greatest ever recorded. Don't miss Daltrey's reworking of the Townshend solo song, " The Sea Refuses No River" !
