There was just so much venom in Pete Townsend's 'strumming' if you call it that, with that windmill technique. But it sure looked good. Entwhistle looked as disinterested as usual, but was laying down immense foundations. To me he plays bass like he's also playing rhythm, he's so accomplished.
I love watching Keith Moon on drums. And the growling bass, windmill guitar (it's amazing he doesn't bash up his hand), the scream at 3:03, and the mind numbing synthesizer drone.
Incredible version,among the best two versions I have ever seen on You Tube. But the final Roger's scream looked like being not live scream,he shortened and the scream goes on?
@Swartenager - prob because it's on top of the pops..... acts almost always mimed, songs were usually cut off and if they were longer than about 3min shortened....
@Swartenager The "shortened" version is the single mix, it came out before the Who's Next album as the full version would have really struggled to get played on AM radio at the time. It was basically standard practice, and I think both versions work well
R.I.P. Keith and John!
