I wonder why they opted not to perform this on the incredible "LIve At Leeds"? This is such a great song. The underrated great tune from Tommy in fact. Any clues as to why they would cut this song ever? (Let alone on the greatest live album in history?)
@Shafeone Not just at Leeds but also in Isle of Wight. I love this song. In the context of the original album, in that recording, really looks like a sensation.
Wow Pete made a mistake ..Its called being human ..They fucked up aolt on stage in there days but there awsomeness just faded it away ..The Best Band Ever
I think the live version of "Tommy" is still better than the recorded versions. I just listened to Tommy, and parts of the album was a bit restrained on the guitars, but Keith did a great job keeping the album alive.
I'm searching a clip with this song and the scene from the film with the rocker gang and Tommy flying a kite, think I saw it once but can't find it now
the horns give this song a really lively attitude. Listen to the song on Tommy, and then on this. They're both great songs, but this has alot more soul
Doesnt matter what he says or not. He is totally adorable here. A sensation, a light, a vibration whatever, everything best in the world

Yes, he does. I am sure he has alot on his mind? The most amazing, talented musician of all time. He was born to do this.
