The Who rocks Halloween in Seattle (Nov. 1)

If you haven’t heard, Lucas is pretty in to classic rock these days. So its no surprise that he decided we should all dress up as his favorite band — The Who — for Halloween.

Of course he was Pete Townshend, the legendary guitarist; I was honored to be Keith Moon, one of my favorite drummers of all time; and Krista jumped wholeheartedly into the role of Roger Daltrey, the great singer who executed what is supposedly the loudest scream ever recorded. Ida wasn’t too excited about being the bassist and chose instead to be the band manager, which involved (among other things) walking around with a clipboard saying “do you want to book a gig?”

We cruised the neighborhood last night with a bluetooth speaker, mostly blasting Lucas’s two favorites (Baba O’Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again) on repeat. Occasionally we would slow it down and do Behind Blue Eyes which was a bit of a tearjerker. More pictures and video are below, including the aforementioned Daltrey scream, as well as Lucas doing the iconic Townshend “windmill” guitar move.

Awesome! Lucas, you have great taste in music. The Who is awesome. But don’t pass over Pete’s solo music. Despite the very regrettable title, (the name of which i do not even care to repeat) his ’82 solo album is amazing and so is the one from ’85. Love and miss you all.
