Relative unknown Rick Livingstone sang lead vocals (along with Walsh and Entwistle). Backing vocals were provided by Hamish, Angus and Fergus Richardson of the band Brother. In a 1994 interview posted on The Who mailing list Entwistle said that The Best had toured Japan, and that an American tour had been planned but never came to fruition. In the same interview he also noted that drummer Zak Starkey had also been "in the band a while", presumably before Phillips joined. In 2010, a DVD of the band's September 26, 1990 performance in Yokohama, Japan was released. rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 597 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2012 - 3:11 pm:    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Live-Yokohamma-Japan/dp/B002W16AL8 rustyg61 Senior Member Username: rustyg61 Post Number: 598 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2012 - 3:29 pm:    Apparently it was not released in the US.... http://thehomevideo.co.uk/01-573406-B002W16AL8-The_Best_Live_In_Yokohamma_Japan www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAvYHXz7XsA http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DVD-Best-Live-Yokohamma-Japan-/280878618522 http://www.films.ie/action-501778-B002W16AL8-The_Best_Live_In_Yokohamma_Japan.html davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10723 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2012 - 4:07 pm:    Wow; cool band! davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10724 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2012 - 4:20 pm:    Entwistle fans will love this one; Fanfare for the Common Man davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10725 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Saturday, June 02, 2012 - 4:28 pm:    And here's Skunk Baxter tearin' it up on Reelin' in the Years.
