Jody Linscott
What's going on with the disappearing Jody Linscott entry in the associated musicians section? Linscott played two to three full tours with The Who (depending on how you count it), plus some one-off gigs. Also, shouldn't the Kick Horn musicians be listed here? They've played a couple of full tours plus one-off gigs with The Who, as well. Steve Bolton? Billy Nicholls?
Damon Minchella and Steve White only played one gig with The Who and they're listed here. Rather than sample performers that have played only once, it seems we should list musicians who have played with The Who for a least most of a tour. Comments?Pkeets (talk) 00:56, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- These musicians are the only musicians who performed with The Who as one of the main musicians in the band ie: Drums (Sandom, Townson, Halpin, Phillips, White), Keyboards (Gorman, Carin, Kehew) and Bass (Minchella). Other musicians such as Jody Linscott (percussionist) and essentially all of the "extras" on the 1989 tour (horns, backup singers) are auxillary musicians. If Steve Bolton had an article about him his inculsion would be warranted, as he player lead guitar, one of the defining instruments in the band.DaltreyEntwistleMoonTownshend (talk) 20:11, 14 May 2010 (UTC)
- If that's the criterion, then are you going to include David Gilmour and Geoff Whitehorn for lead guitar and Jon Button for bass with The Who? I'm sure there are others, as well. Pkeets (talk) 14:35, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Gilmour and Whitehorn only performed with The Who when the performances were designated the Who and special guests (I think - correct me if I'm wrong). Did Button ever play bass for The Who? I know for a fact (I went to a concert) that he played for Roger Daltrey's bandDaltreyEntwistleMoonTownshend (talk) 20:05, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- Whitehorn played lead guitar for the whole 1996 Quadrophenia tour, didn't he? And Simon Townshend played on the 1997 tour? Here's Jon Button: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArEwvWtMCa8 Pkeets (talk) 23:57, 15 May 2010 (UTC)
- BTW, where's Bob Pridden? Pkeets (talk) 01:39, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Whitehorn- http://reocities.com/sunsetstrip/Diner/2674/gwhit_b.htm - Says he was part of the band when it was credited as "Townshend, Daltrey, Entwistle present Quadrophenia," when the tour started and the group was billed as "The Who", Whitehorn didn't participate. I'm going to look into the Button thing, but that video almost cements him a spot in the template. Wonder if there are any other one off performances with random/obscure musicians? Well, as they come to our attention we'll put them up.DaltreyEntwistleMoonTownshend (talk) 22:09, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sure they played an acoustic gig a few years back with another upright bass player, but I don't remember who it was. I was right on top of this one, and emailed Button to make sure it was him. Pkeets (talk) 23:10, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
- Awesome. If he confirms it was him, put him up after J.J. Blair.67.80.94.155 (talk) 00:46, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
