The Who postersAt the beginning of the next decade, both joined a band called The Detours, a group led by singer Colin Dawson where was also a boy named Roger Daltrey, who played lead guitar. Daltrey said Entwistle capacity in the Scorpios and invited John to join the group as bassist. John recommended his friend Pete as rhythm guitarist. Shortly after joining Townshend and Entwistle, Dawson left the group, replacing it Daltrey vocal tasks. At that time, Pete was assigned the position of lead guitar. As The Who and the representation of Helmut Gordon, begin to gain a foothold in the London clubs playing a strong R & B that is received with enthusiasm by its growing number of followers, who admired its strong musical procedures and force detached in its concerts. In one, held at the Marquee, Pete Townshend smashed a guitar randomly, causing the audience an explosion of euphoria. This fact later became the house brand of the Who, with violent actions in which the guitarist broke and viciously beat their instruments on the floor, playing guitar while jumping rope shaking arm swirling. Keith Moon tore the battery kicks and Roger Daltrey swung his microphone dramatically. A good show that Entwistle could see his masterly playing under almost motionless. One such action was contemplated with enthusiasm by Pete Meaden, a collaborator of Andrew L. Gordon Oldham who hired a publicist, to become his manager briefly and one of the main drivers of the group's career in London. Meaden first thing he did was change their name. Be called from now on The High Numbers. Meaden also grooming them to become the image mods. In July 1964 reads "I'm the Face / Zoot Suit", his first single with two splendid tracks written in his own mods Meaden, who put the band in the hands of the duo Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, true creators of the popular aggrandizement of the band, offering advice on aesthetics and sounds that could grant the commercial prominence, advice they dutifully fulfilled if they were allowed only one desire: to return to be known as The Who. Again with his previous name, the Who began working with producer Shel Talmy and engineer Glyn Johns on Decca, recording a Townshend composition entitled "I Can not Explain", a single released on January 15, 1965. Talmy brought to the recording session musician Jimmy Page, but after listening to Pete playing guitar, Page finished playing the rhythm and the Ivy League members of the chorus. At first the single, first published as The Who, went unnoticed in record stores but after the band's appearance on the popular TV show "Ready Steady Go" everything changed. The audience of millions of television broadcast with her mouth fell open when his devastating live performance, the group broke their instruments. Rarely seen live and on television as violent musical demonstration. This event gave them wide publicity among younger people, which was launched to buy the single, getting that "I Can not Explain" reached number 8 on the UK charts. This success was repeated in the same year with songs like "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" (number 10), consisting of Pete and Roger, or the generational anthem "My Generation" (number 2). In December of 1965 posted their first LP, "The Who Sings My Generation" (1965), an album which was an indication the trend for the R & B and rhythmic pills mod-pop styles, highlighted by his virtuosity and instrumental and vocal strength. The album reached the top 5 on the list of best-selling LPs in Britain. |
