ACAS Live Tracks?
I have not heard the clips or CD yet, but have read the lyrics.
Frankly, I wish PT never wrote Tommy and the idea of rock operas and concept albums never came about. In IMHO rock works best as one big live party where people are simply entertained by quality of the music being played and leave with a big smile on their faces. I don't find the idea of a slasher CD compelling or entertaining in the least, and really don't care if the lyrics and story line are clever or simply lame and repetitive. For me the hooks are far more important than the story. I'd pick Berry singing about his ding-a-ling over See Me, Feel Me everytime. Just one person's opinion and like noses, we all have one.
So, from those who have heard this, how many of these songs are musically strong enough to play live? Will any of them hold up in the rock and roll first half of the show, or do they need to go in the "Theatrical" or "promotional hype/shock rock" portion of the show? What will we get next year?

I like the music to Tommy, but the story of the deaf, dumb and blind boy made more sense when I was a hippie smoking a lot of dope than it does today, LOL!
Remember it was Coop who said rock stars are all morons. There is a reason most rock songs are about with sex, drugs, RNR, or fast cars. They are not meant to be thought about too much.
