An interesting thing I noticed, is that while he says he wrote Pinball Wizard in one night (after getting that low-review from his friend-critique who liked pinball) ... there are actually a 'number' of different demo versions of it. I just wonder how many demos he used to do to present before the band?
Very simply, Townshend is pure genius, end of story. A gift to us all.

Did Roger do anything else than just singing the lyrics that Pete wrote?

do you have the '73 version? a YouTube search only gives the speeded up film soundtrack and I hate it when they do that

not as good as the who

It is The Who.
I think you meant to say it's not as good as the final cut.
Pro'ly not. But after you've heard the final cut 1,000 times, these demos really satisfy a desire you didn't even know you had.

It's not the Who - it's the songwriter's first vision.
I agree that it's fascinating to see how the rest of the band and studio time changed some things - others are exactly the same....

I don't really know, i've never heard Scoop, in fact, i got all the demos from the bootleg you see in the video.

well, no 5:15, since he wrote it on the bus ride over, hadn't he?
slotwinski1414 3 years ago
I think so, there is no data of a bootleg containing a demo of that one also.
I'm still waiting to upload 2 other demos, Love Reign O'er Me, and Brrr.
DarthMurray 3 years ago
excellent
brrr... i think ... is that one from Scoop?
I never heard it yet, my dad lost half the vynil, so. But i heard the unused piano before
these are great!
