Remember Bill's gig w/ pete townsend..

meh · 06-09-2007, 09:01 PM

Do we have any information if any of the new songs that he played were ones that we have now heard? I remeber somebody reviewing the show saying that the new songs were terribly boring...

stephen_bayne · 06-09-2007, 09:07 PM

I'd been waiting for a bootleg of that concert to come out but it never did.

wHATcOLOR · 06-09-2007, 10:11 PM

i was wondering the same thing the other day. good question

exactlythesame · 06-09-2007, 10:15 PM

I remember checking that site for it every day for like two / three weeks. Never showed up, though. That was back in the information drought when people went crazy over tiny glimmers of hope.

Bill had a song he played at that gig that sparked my interest called shangrilol. I would surely like to hear it one of these days.

Huh, you were there?

Mablak · 06-10-2007, 05:19 AM

Someone who was there described the chorus as Bill repeating shangri la a bunch of times or something. Thus the working title of the song is deemed shangrilol by the likes of me.

brendo_91 · 06-10-2007, 05:22 AM

ah, but it also could have just been one of the songs we'd already heard, with different lyrics?

D. · 06-10-2007, 05:23 AM

this thread is full of sad.

Mablak · 06-10-2007, 05:24 AM

Shangrilol strikes me as something original.

Am I supposed to be reading this as Shangri lol? If Shangrilol is the title of a song, the headline should be, "BC's song title hijacked by netphorian sensibilities..."

sweter33 · 06-10-2007, 06:14 AM

i remember reading one relation/review on the web just after this concert and as far as I can recall there was a mention of someone calling them 'chicago songs', which would actually agree with another person calling the songs 'boring' (not that I think they are boring, in fact quite the opposite; but they could be boring for an average The Who fan at the first listen).

Your memory runs far and deep. I didn't remember that.
