He liʻiliʻi nā hui rock a roll i hoʻopaʻapaʻa e like me The Who.
ʻOkoʻa loa nā ʻano o nā lālā ʻehā, ʻoiai ua hōʻike maoli ʻia kā lākou hana hoʻokani kaulana - ua hāʻule ʻo Keith Moon ma luna o kāna pahu pahu, a ʻo ke koena o ka poʻe mele e hakakā pinepine ma ke kahua.
ʻOiai ua lōʻihi ka manawa e ʻike ai ka hui i kāna poʻe hālāwai, ma ka hopena o ka makahiki 1960, ua hoʻokūkū ʻo The Who i nā Rolling Stones ma nā hana ola a me nā kūʻai album.
Ua puhi ka hui i ka pōhaku kuʻuna a me ka R&B me nā kani kīkā huhū a Townsend, nā laina bass haʻahaʻa a me ka wikiwiki o Entwistle a me nā pahu hoʻoikaika a me ka haunaele a Moon.
ʻAʻole like me ka hapa nui o nā hui pōhaku, ʻo The Who i hoʻokumu i kā lākou mele ma ke kīkā, e ʻae iā Moon a me Entwistle e hoʻomaʻamaʻa mau i ka wā e hoʻokani ai ʻo Daltrey i nā mele.
ʻO ka mea i kūleʻa i ka hana ʻana i kēia ola, akā ua kū mai kekahi manaʻo ma ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana: Ua hele mai ʻo Townsend me ka manaʻo e hoʻokomo i nā kiʻi pop a me nā ʻāpana manaʻo i loko o ka repertoire o ka hui.
Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia kekahi o nā mea kākau mele Pelekane maikaʻi loa o kēia au, ʻoiai ua lilo nā mele e like me The Kids Are Alright and My Generation i lilo i mau mele ʻōpio. I ka manawa like, ua loaʻa i kāna mele mele ʻo Tommy ka mahalo mai nā mea hoʻokani mele koʻikoʻi.
Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole makemake mau ke koena o The Who, ʻo Entwistle lāua ʻo Daltrey, e hahai i kāna mau mele mele. Makemake lākou e pāʻani i ka pōhaku paʻakikī ma mua o nā mele a Townsend.
ʻO ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu iā lākou iho he rockers i ka waena o 1970s, e hoʻomau ana i kēia ala ma hope o ka make ʻana o Moon i 1978. Eia nō naʻe, i ko lākou kiʻekiʻe, ʻo The Who kekahi o nā pūʻulu ikaika loa o ka pōhaku.
Hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo The Who
Ua hui ʻo Townsend lāua ʻo Entwistle i ke kula kiʻekiʻe ma London's Shepherd's Bush. I ko lākou wā ʻōpio, hoʻokani lākou i ka hui ʻo Dixieland. Ma laila hoʻokani ʻo Entwist i ka pū a hoʻokani ʻo Townsend i ka banjo.
Ua ulu koke ka leo o ka hui ma lalo o ka mana o nā mea pena kiʻi ʻAmelika wale nō, akā kekahi mau mea mele Pelekane.
Ma hope o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka inoa o ka hui. Pono nā kāne i kahi mea hoihoi ma mua o Dixieland, no laila ua hoʻoholo lākou ma The Who.
Ua hoʻokani ka hui i nā mele i piha i ka ʻuhane a me ka R&B, a i ʻole e like me ka mea i kākau ʻia ma kā lākou pepa: Maximum R&B.
ʻO ke kīkā haki mua ma ka hui Ze Hu
Ua haki ʻo Townsend i kāna kīkā mua ma kahi ʻahamele ma ka Hotel Railway. Ua hiki iā ia ke hoʻopau i ka hōʻike me kahi Rickenbacker 12-string hou i kūʻai ʻia.
Ua ʻike ʻo Townsend i ka pule aʻe ua hele mai nā kānaka e ʻike iā ia e haki i kāna kīkā.
I ka wā mua, ua haʻalulu ʻo Lambert lāua ʻo Stamp i ka luku hou ʻana o Townsend i kekahi kīkā ma ke ʻano he hoʻolaha hoʻolaha. Eia naʻe, i kēlā mau lā, ʻaʻole ʻo ia i haki i nā kīkā i kēlā me kēia hōʻike.
ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke wehewehe
I ka pau ʻana o ka makahiki 1964, hāʻawi ʻo Townsend i ka hui i ke mele kumu ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke wehewehe, ʻo ia ka mea i ʻaiʻē iā The Kinks a me kā lākou mele ʻo You Really Got Me. ʻO nā mele a Townsend i manaʻo nui i nā ʻōpio, mahalo i nā leo ikaika maikaʻi loa a Daltrey.
Ma hope o ka hana ʻana o ka pūʻali koa ma ka papahana kīwī Ready, Steady, Go, kahi i luku ai ʻo Townsend lāua ʻo Moon i kā lāua mau mea kani, ua hōʻea ka mea hoʻokahi I Can't Explain i ka Pelekane. Ma UK, aia ʻo ia i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1966, ua lilo ka Substitute hoʻokahi i kā lākou ʻehā UK Top XNUMX hit. ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi i hana ʻia e Keith Lambert i hōʻailona i ka pau ʻana o ka ʻaelike UK ʻo Decca/Brunswick.
E hoʻomaka ana me Substitute, ua pūlima ka hui me Polydor ma ʻEnelani. He keikikāne wau, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ke kauwela o 1966, ʻo ia ka The Who's single mua me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia ʻo Decca/Brunswick, a hōʻike i ka lōʻihi o ka hiki ʻana o ka hui i 18 mahina.
ʻOkoʻa loa ka moʻolelo ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻAʻole i kūleʻa ka poʻe male ʻoiai nā hoʻolaha mai ka papa kīwī a ABC ʻo Shindig.
Nui ka lanakila ma Beretania, akā ʻaʻole lawa. He pipiʻi loa ke kūʻai ʻana i nā mea kani ola a me nā hopena e pili ana, no laila ua ʻaiʻē mau ka hui.
Album ʻelua
Ua kākau ʻo Townsend i ke poʻo inoa o ka album ma ke ʻano he ʻumi minuke mini-opera. ʻO kahi wikiwiki i kona hele ʻana ʻo ia ka hana a Townsend e hele ana ma mua o ka pōhaku a me ka ʻōwili.
He aura koʻikoʻi ko ka mea hoʻokahi o ka opera a me ka pōhaku, ʻoiai ua ʻike iki ʻia ka hui i kēlā manawa.
Ma hope o kona hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana i ka makahiki 1966, ua lilo ʻo A Quick One i kahi mea Pelekane hou a hāʻawi pū i kahi "breakthrough" ʻAmelika liʻiliʻi.
Ke hana nei i nā papa pōkole ʻelima mau manawa i ka lā, ua hana ka hui i ka hopena kūpono i ka lehulehu. ʻO kā lākou hōʻailona koʻikoʻi nui o ʻAmelika he hana ia o ka album Fillmore East ma Kapalakiko.
Ma muli o kēia, ua pilikia ka poʻe mele. Ua lōʻihi loa nā hana me ka album mua, ua lawa nā minuke 15-20. Akā naʻe, ua pōkole loa kā lākou mau minuke 40 mau minuke no ka Fillmore East.
I loko o ka puke a Richard Barnes ʻo Maximum R&B, ua ʻōlelo ʻia i mea e hoʻopau ai i kā lākou hoʻonohonoho ʻana, pono e aʻo nā mea hoʻokani pila i nā mini-opera a lākou i hana ʻole ai ma ke ola.
Ma hope o ka ʻaha mele mele hou, i Iune 1967, hoʻokani lākou i kā lākou hōʻikeʻike nui loa ʻAmelika, ʻo Monterey International Pop Festival, kahi a lāua i alo ai iā Jimi Hendrix e pili i ka mea hiki ke hoʻopau i kā lākou hoʻonohonoho me ka nani.
Ua lanakila ʻo Hendrix me kāna hana ahi, akā ua hoʻokani maikaʻi ʻo The Who ma ka luku ʻana i kā lākou mau mea kani ma ke ʻano hoʻokani.
Hana manaʻo ʻo Who Sell Out
ʻO Who Sell Out kahi album manaʻo a me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i nā lekiō pōā ma ʻEnelani i pani ʻia ma muli o ka hana ʻino ʻana o ke aupuni.
Hāʻawi ka hui i kā lākou hana maikaʻi loa ma kēia album e hoʻopaʻa i ko lākou kūlana ma ʻEnelani a hope loa e lawe i ka mākeke US me I Can See for Miles.
ʻO ka hana a Daltrey ka mea maikaʻi loa o kāna ʻoihana a hiki i kēia lā, i kākoʻo ʻia e Townsend's edgy guitar work, Moon's frenetic drumming a me Entwistle's hard bass.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia kani i hana nui ʻia ma ʻekolu mau studio like ʻole, ma nā ʻāina ʻelua a me nā kahakai ʻelua.
He paʻakikī loa ka hoʻokani ʻana a lilo ia i mea paʻi wale nō a lākou i hōʻole ai e hoʻokani ola. Ua hiki ka mea hoʻokahi i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe ma ʻAmelika a hiki i ka helu ʻelua ma ʻEnelani.
Ka naʻi ʻana o ʻAmelika
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo Tommy ma Mei 1969, ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa ma hope o The Who Sell Out. A ʻo ka manawa mua, laina laina e hui pū me ka hui. ʻIke ʻia kēia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
Ua hana ʻo Tommy i ka US Top Ten ma ke kākoʻo ʻana o ka hui i ka album me kahi huakaʻi nui. ʻO ka huakaʻi ʻo Who's Next i hoʻolilo i ka hui i hoʻokahi o nā mea hoʻokipa pōhaku ʻelua ma ka honua me ka Rolling Stones. ʻAʻole koke, ua hopu ʻia kā lākou moʻolelo i ka manaʻo o nā miliona o ka poʻe pā.
Quadrophenia album pālua a me ka haʻihaʻi ʻana i ka hui
Me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Quadrophenia, ua pau ka hana ʻana me Keith Lambert, ʻaʻole ia i hoʻohuli hou i ka hui. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Entwistle i kāna ʻoihana ponoʻī me Smash Your Head Against the Wall.
Ua kūʻai maikaʻi loa ʻia ka album pālua Quadrophenia, akā ua hōʻike ʻia he ʻāpana ola pilikia no ka mea paʻakikī ke pāʻani ola.
Ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hāʻule ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o Quadrophenia. Ma ka lehulehu, ua hopohopo ʻo Townsend e pili ana i kāna kuleana ma ke ʻano he haʻiʻōlelo no nā mele rock, a ma kahi pilikino ua komo ʻo ia i ka inu ʻona.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo Entwistle i kāna ʻoihana solo, me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana me kāna mau papahana ʻaoʻao ʻo Ox a me Rigor Mortis.
I kēia manawa, ua hōʻea ʻo Daltrey i ke kiʻekiʻe o kona hiki - ua lilo ʻo ia i mele kaulana maoli a ua lanakila ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he mea keaka.
Ua komo ʻo Moon i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea psychoactive. I kēia manawa, ua hana ʻo Townsend i nā mele hou, i hopena i kāna hana solo 1975, The Who By Numbers.
Ua hui hou ʻo The Who i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ka makahiki 1978 e hoʻopaʻa leo ʻO wai ʻoe. He kūleʻa nui kēia hana, a hiki i ka helu ʻelua ma nā palapala kiʻi US.
Eia naʻe, ma kahi o ka hoʻi lanakila, ua lilo ka album i hōʻailona o ka pōʻino - ma ka lā 7 o Kepakemapa, 1978, ua make ʻo Moon i ka overdose o ka lāʻau.
No ka mea he mea nui ʻo ia i ke kani a me ke kiʻi o The Who, ʻaʻole ʻike ka hui i ka mea e hana ai. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hoʻolimalima ka hui i ka mea pahu pahu Small Faces Kenny Jones i mea pani a hoʻomaka e hana i nā mea hou i ka makahiki 1979.
ʻO kekahi haʻihaʻi o ka hui
Ma hope o ka ʻaha mele ma Cincinnati, ua hoʻomaka ka hui e wāwahi mālie. Ua lilo ʻo Townsend i mea hoʻohui i ka cocaine, heroin, tranquilizers, a me ka waiʻona, e loaʻa ana i kahi overdose kokoke i ka make i ka makahiki 1981.
I kēia manawa, ua hoʻomau ʻo Entwistle lāua ʻo Daltrey i kā lāua ʻoihana solo. Ua hui hou ka hui ma 1981 e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album mua mai ka make ʻana o Moon, ʻo Face Dances, i nā loiloi like ʻole.
I ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo The Who iā It's Hard a hoʻomaka i kā lākou huakaʻi hope. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia he huakaʻi hoʻomaha. Ua hui hou ka hui e pāʻani i Live Aid i ka makahiki 1985.
Ua hui hou ʻo The Who i ka makahiki 1994 no ʻelua ʻaha mele e hoʻolauleʻa ana i ka makahiki 50 o Daltrey.
I ke kauwela o 1997, ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kahi huakaʻi ʻAmelika, i mālama ʻole ʻia e ka paʻi. I ʻOkakopa 2001, hoʻokani ka hui i ka "Concert for New York" no nā ʻohana o ka poʻe i hōʻeha ʻia i ka hoʻouka kaua 11/XNUMX.
I ka pau ʻana o Iune 2002, ua kokoke ʻo The Who e hoʻomaka i kahi huakaʻi ʻAmelika ʻĀkau i ka wā i make ʻole ai ʻo Entwistle i ka makahiki 57 ma Hard Rock Hotel ma Las Vegas.
Ma 2006, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Townsend lāua ʻo Daltrey i ka mini-opera Wire & Glass (ʻo kā lāua hui mua ʻana ma 20 mau makahiki).
Ma ka lā 7 o Kekemapa, 2008, ma kahi hui ma Wakinekona, D.C., ua loaʻa iā Townsend lāua ʻo Daltrey ka Hoʻohanohano Kennedy Center no kā lāua mau haʻawina ola i ka moʻomeheu ʻAmelika.
