They may be fine people and musicians but their branding, um, seems a trifle exploitative.When Roger Daltrey does solo tours, he has musicians from the Who’s touring band in his group…and it’s billed as “ROGER DALTREY! With members of The Who band!”

When I saw him solo it was him and Simon Townshend from "the Who band," but I don't think anyone else from the Who.

Does he mention Buñuel in that interview?

No, he barely mentions the lyrics.

Thanks. For a while there it seemed like there was nothing else he could talk about.

Always got a kick out of the cheerfully vulgar anecdote related by Jerry Wexler to Stanley Booth about Hawkins arriving in Muscle Shoals to record his 1970 Cotillion debut (paraphrased): "He arrived in his private plane with a suitcase full of drugs, a case of whiskey, and Miss Toronto...'I've got my pot, my pills, and my pussy... Let's get to work!'"

RIP! His 1970 solo album is worth seeking out — no one from the Band on it, but a bunch of Muscle Shoals heavy hitters.

Reminds me--there was a movie of this,Festival Express, released in early 70s (they were on a train, going across Canada and maybe some of US, stopping at festivals, or every stop made a festival maybe)--Good??

yeah it's great — that's a scene from it. the footage actually wasn't pieced together until the early 2000s.
― tylerw, Monday, 27 June 2022 18:47 (one year ago) link
XP!
The footage was shelved for a long time, with the movie finally coming out in the mid-'00s. It's a fine film, worth checking out on disc for the bonus performances. Some audio from the shows turned up much sooner as part of the Janis Joplin In Concert album and other Janis archival releases.

A funny thing about it is that for somebody who loves to talk about himself on camera, for some reason Robbie Robertson <wasn't> interviewed for this film. In fact, none of the then-surviving Band members pop up.

Jay Babcock, who I believe is an ilxor, also has generated a remarkable wordpress around San Francisco's Diggers. In the midst of an epochal interview with a couple who were in thee flow x churn of those 60s, I came across a clip from The Last Walz featuring their colleague Freewheelin Frank, poet, painter, psychic, and ex-Hell's Angel ("he dropped out, which was hard to do")---the connection w Band may have been Digger Emmett Grogan, also co-writer of Danko's "Java Blues":
