Pete Townshend - Face the Face

[maguiretonto]

this is pure crap!

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Missing harmonica solo.

[cast390]

Love this song!!!

[alanjr333]

I could never figure out...is that the drummer from Big Country playing on this song? Sure looks like him.

[jeffsaxton22]

@alanjr333 It's Kenny Jones who played with The Faces.

[fan80sgirl]

Why is only the sound good, my dad has this DVD also in his car with perfect view. I just love this DVD ;)

[giaisbomb]

@fan80sgirl ---I have this VHS Liebchen...I got it for a buck at the used bookstore...Gonna transfer it to DVD, we have a DVD recorder.

[fan80sgirl]

@giaisbomb Yeah this is probably also from VHS cuz of lousy quality, glad the boozehound has the good quality DVD LOL!

[giaisbomb]

@fan80sgirl ---Boozehound is a true WHO Fan for digging all this solo stuff. Tell him to check out Roger Daltry's solo music. I sent to you before. I love his mellow tunes...

[fan80sgirl]

@giaisbomb HAHAHA Boozehound, you are funny girl!

[giaisbomb]

@fan80sgirl ----I'd like to switch out Boozehound's DVD with a shit quality one like you mentioned here. When he complains it looks like crap---I'd tell him he drank too much Jagermeister and he must be seeing double again......BOOZEHOUNDS UNITE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fan80sgirl]

@giaisbomb HAHAHAHA, you are always so funny, you made LOFL!!!! BTW how mean and he doesn't like Jagermeister.

[giaisbomb]

@fan80sgirl ----A TRUE Boozehound can take the insults and abuse---We are used to people fucking with us........BOOZEHOUNDS UNITE

[klaritavital]

I love his voice!

[frankzakzak]

Brilliant

[candidnot]

I remember the first time I heard the 12" vinyl remix of this song on the radio...it was great. Even an older fellow from the neighborhood that I was driving to do some errands liked it!

[whotwo]

This was another great version of "The Who". They had like 20 people on the stage ,and did a great job of music that is also wonderful with just the three piece version, -way to go Pete!

[jim69315]

love this song...brings back a lot of memories from high school...

[Cheguri2010]

Estoa canción vendría a ser "el Viagra" del Rock And Roll, pura energía....

[viniawey]

the best of the who!!!

[alearda]

Meravigliosooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo

[nnppmoura]

awsome!

[MattHardyMyHero]

gotta love daultry

[SnapeKid]

"Cuz if we find the face, WE'RE GONNA BE RICH!"

[StretchPhotography]

Nice! Love the young lady rapping at the beginning!

Definitely not much of a challenge for Entwistle...

[errevea]

hey is also roger on the set!

[SaitenWolf]

Great song - unfortuantely besides the low res out of sync

[hkemmy2010]

Oh! MIAMI VICE!

At that time, I wandered this tune in Japan looking for.

It was sure shyster's story.

MIAMI VICE is one of the dramas still loved.

[AntiTraci]

I saw this live in 1989! Not this exact concert....this was the Tommy tour, right??? Try playing that bass line . Talk about hand strain.

"were gonna be rich" love that line!

[AntiTraci]

Boogie Down, shes gonna talk. :)

Love yas petey.

[AntiTraci]

@AntiTraci

[AntiTraci]

TURN IT UP.

[VINESH]

@giguchan

Me too! Ever since I heard this song for the first time, jumping out of my skin, I've wanted to put together a horn section that includes a squallin' harp player!

[Polica40]

Someone knows something about the accusations of pedophilia some time ago against the old Pete?

[SnapeKid]

@Polica40

Heard he was researching. He didn't actually download any child pornography...

[2short2q]

Think everyone knows Pete is at least bi. and if he crossed line with a kid i would still regard him as a great guitarist/musician but not so much as a decent person.

[landart67]

simon's a machine

[daremejustabit]

Props to Cleveland! I LOVE IT! I wonder if you remember that, Cleveland? Eh? Energetic song! Check out the back singers....workin up a hot sweat!

New York, Chicago!!!!

[5150zac]

pete townshend is a music king

[rajbeast]

correction: "Live at Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles - 1989 w/John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey and a bunch of freaks!!!!!!"

[rajbeast]

so funkayyyyyy!!!!!!

[MrNapoleanSolo]

Pete has a big band background, with blues and jazz fused with it!!! I give this 5 stars!!

[orphanannie7874]

We got to judge the judge

LMFAO!!!!

[surfmcgoogler]

What the hell is he on about with this song? I never liked it. It doesn't seem to work on any level.

[Sredderdude01]

Without Pete Townsend the Who wold not have been.

[rajbeast]

@Sredderdude01 first learn to spell and write proper english!!!!!! and secondly, the other 3 members played as important as a role as pete, espeically john entwistle and keith moon, without keith moon's amazing drum fills, we wouldn't have that classic who sound we know today and that wouldn't have happened either without thunderfingers' amazing bass licks and roger daltrey's screaming rock god vocals!!!!!! so pete is not the only important member here!!!!!!

[sikosebanana]

he`s trying to do the Crip walk haha love this song

[HernanZitoZin]

the who é a melhor banda do mundo

pete é um dos maiores gênios da Terra!

[dersh65]

Exactly!! I don't speak Spanish but I think you said the Who is the greatest band in the world and Pete is a musical genius!!

or something to that effect...

[capobq]

Que banda foi, é, e será essa?? a melhor do mundo, SALVE THE WHO.

[sexymamady4542]

esse show é sensacional... por causa dele virei fã do Who... e da dancinha do Pete rsrsrs

[krazyrhcpfan22]

Best song ever.. Better recorded in my honest opinion. but the best song ever

[playidd76]

Who was more important to The Who? Pete Townsend or John Entwistle?

[thankyoupourlavideo]

Both were 100% vital and important. Without Enwistle, Townshend would have never joined The Detours, which evolved into The Who. Without Townshend, 95% of Who songs would have never been written. Never mind the importance of their musical instrument playing finesse...

[TWizRippin]

@thankyoupourlavideo without Roger The Who wouldnt have been as big as they were.. Pete was a genius to pick Roger because he was a good singer, very popular, and all the girls loved him.. thats how you pick em..

[thankyoupourlavideo]

@TWizRippin

Roger was the founder of The Detours. It was his band to begin with, in fact he played lead guitar to start. He hired John Entwistle off the street, who recommended Pete Townshend as a good rhythm guitarist. Roger fired Colin Dawson and took over as lead singer, letting Pete pickup lead guitar. The band fired Doug Sandom and picked up Keith Moon on drums, and that's how it stayed t'ill Keith died (more or less).

Pete never picked Roger as "the" singer. However, he was a good fit.

[TWizRippin]

@thankyoupourlavideo Wow i never new this :) Thanks.

[rubyramone]

R U F*KNG KIDDINGGGGGGGGGGG?????

[playidd76]

About what?

[rajbeast]

@playidd76 each was important in their own way... the who were just one of those bands in which all 4 members were required to keep the band going... without any one of them, they would have just fallen apart and that's what happened after keith moon's death...

[playidd76]

I suppose, but I still think Townsend and Entwistle were still a bit more important than the other two, just a bit.

[rajbeast]

@playidd76 not really, they pretty much lost everything after keith moon's death and no one would could belt out those divine rock-god vocals other than daltrey, hence, just in my opinion, they were all equally important... the who along with zeppelin are just some of those bands where each and every original member is required to keep the band what it is...

[spiritos22]

What a dynamite version of a dynamite song.

But Pete what about the guit solo ?? ;-(

[schneckenpfeifer]

ich fand das schon als Kind einen echten Knaller! Klasse!

[longrockwoman]

Happy Birthday to Pete...I hope this genius keeps on writing music until he dies, and that he doesn't die for a very long time. Love Pete, love the Who...best concert I've ever been to.

[rjmdrum]

Thanks for posting

I think The Female backing vocalist

was also on Brian Ferry's Bete Noire tour around that period of time

[paulinella]

i also searched and found it. happy happy

[x0001234567]

You know your good at the windmill when you break your hand and get cut

[freeclimb64]

Thanks kaisercesar - extraordinaire!

I searched this song for so long...

[airdriver]

This is actually taken from The Who's 1989 reunion tour which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the release of Tommy(which they performed in its entirety at each concert). If you look closely at Pete's right hand, its bandaged because he had cut it open on his guitar strings while doing The Windmill a few nights before.

[Makstrot]

Che tiro....

[fervask]

buscaba este tema en video. gracias

[swendish]

Pete during his... I'm a wanker with a pony tail phase".

[jhoneval]

Natalia, this is our song. I love you so much.All the time.

[solthero]

The best White City album, face to face the best...bestial music

[isaiahangelo]

lmao gotta love Pete's dance there

[jhoneval]

Te AMO y sabes que es nuestra cancion!

Cara a Cara!

[jhoneval]

Chacha pasara el tiempo pero sabras que nuestro amor es para toda la vida, es eterno

El te traiciono, es artero!

Jhonny te amo y te amara siempre mi corazon esta abierto siempre para ti!

la verdad saldra a la luz, si! mi pecado fue amar a una mujer casada, que fue mi siempre como yo tuyo.

Siempre amandote Jhonny Val.

[Dollarzzz]

Entwhistle is smokin' that bass...damn!

[torpedotp]

Does anyone know who the backup singers are? (They are not Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, as suggested by someone else). I really like them (esp. the girl).

[Gavin1504]

The girl is Chyna, then Billy Nicholls and Cleveland Watkiss

[torpedotp]

Thanks!

[Teflon65]

Kind of vanilla, but I still love it. Had the record, in the 1980s, and pretty much wore it out. It was nothing, if not interesting. Not much for Roger to do here, but at least he was smiling. Good stuff.

[Harleyrida]

That grooved its ass off!! Is that Simon Phillips on the drums??

[beeb44]

Yep, that's King Simon the Badass. Notice the uptempo shuffle on the hat he was playing with one f%$^&@ hand!

[Harleyrida]

Thought it was! I'm a Bass player but I went to one of his drum clinics about 15 years ago....blew me away, He's right up there with the likes of Jeff Picaro (RIP) & Vinnie Colaiuta etc!!! Good stuff - Cheers.

[jhoneval]

Por Chacha Flores mi + grande Amor:Jhonny Val

[Chukkz2]

Maybe the best thing he ever did solo... damn funky.

[cungar1001]

You must be high

Have you ever heard Empty Glass or Rough Mix?

[Dollarzzz]

I'm dancin'!!!!

[change145]

This isn't Pete Townshend with John Entwistle. It's actually The Who on the 1989 Tommy Revival Tour. This just happens to be a cut of a Pete Townshend solo work. It's on the 3 DVD set of The Who's tour of Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Live Hits.

[airdriver]

I saw them on that tour and they rocked.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

ANYONE GOT THE MUSIC VID

[reichmarshall]

Entwistle makes that bassline his BITCH!

[rstar2008]

I love that bassline and that bassline breakdown fam!

[Plusquamperfekt1009]

'The Ox' is awesome! Like that dancing from Pete! Thanx for sharing that Video!!!

[B1ggu5]

Sorry Pete, stick to what you do best.

[rockinroller7]

Great song!!!!

Genius!!!

(Not a word, or description I throw around easily-Only when I am confronted with ignorance.)

Thanks!

[ablett2002]

I wonder what Keith would have thought?

[dasboot19801]

Damn, John Entwistle is playing his ass off on this!! Maybe the best rock bass player that ever lived.

[StanBennet]

John was.

[Champane97]

I miss John Entwistle

[airdriver]

This is actually The Who from their 1989 reunion tour

[comicb00kguy]

great driving song. Crank it up and bury the needle. IF this song can't get you grooving you must be dead.

[louswire]

not as polished as the studio cut... but I'll take live anyday.

[duggin9]

Those with Neg. Comments, need to get Pete's Album, White City, that also has Give Blood!

Face to Face Studio version is great, Start to Finish. Like Who/Quadro, many songs are hard to do live, like this 89-Who Tour!!!

[GeneralOfAnegon]

Agree completely, though my favorites off the album are White City Fighting and Crashing by Design. Actually, the whole album is awesome.

[Champane97]

Damn your right on the money mate!! Give Blood is one of my fav!! Simon Phillips playing is awesome. This song will let you know if you got stamina as a drummer!! The shuffle-swing feel is one of the hardest to play!!

[Hugh69]

John Entwhistle wears a black,and white union jack!

[hunkydaboyz]

i think its great song and he sings it well

[kitakashiwa]

I wonder if Whitney Houston & Brown Brown sang back up for the latest leg of the Who tour?

[drumrcal]

The song isn't anything special, but check out Entwistle's walking bass line over the horn solos! God, he can even make a medicore song sound good!!!

[jweeksie]

poor Roger, is that him? just holding his yank on stage... he should of had roger sing this... Has Pete ever thought he comes close to Daltrey as a vocalist??????

[Tranchera]

He doesn't come close, but hardly anyone does. Pete is still an excellent singer, no matter what crappy songs he's singing.

[RoboticG]

All you haters make me laugh. This song is NOT that bad. It's not Baba O'Riley but it was a GREAT record in the 80s.

[Zebonka]

His singing here is an improvement on the other ones on Youtube,

it's still a dodgy song.

[Tranchera]

Crazy. Those singers were still singing for him in 2000 with his Lifehouse business.

[cungar]

Without a doubt, one of the worst songs Pete ever wrote.

[MRDXKLIQ101]

where the music video at for this

[KiernanMooney]

Motherfucker's got a hell of a voice!

And yes, I do understand that this is the guitarist for The Who ... I just don't remember him being this great :D

[kitakashiwa]

I didn't realize Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown sang backup for Pete

[shandygirluk]

the who,s music just never goes out of fashion. love it. sounds great live.....great stuff pete!

[BolivaroAmor]

Ouch. This is just awful. Townsend what were you thinkin'? There are some things from the 1980s that simply must be burned. And this is one song that would NEVER be missed in the annals of music.

[jmedia1]

nevertheless; a true '80s classic! Thanx

[Rabidsenses]

Gilmour, who is surely embarrassed and wasn't told in advance the mockery of music that would be made on this day, should smash his guitar over Townsend's head.

[abigailjazz]

LOVE IT!! O Petey

[kitakashiwa]

was that whitney houston?! time to give blood pete

[Rabidsenses]

This is really sad. One just wishes David Gilmour would walk out, pick up one of Pete's own guitars, and then proceed to smash it over his pony-tailed head!

[happycina]

how to figure out the song is from 80's

- D-shaped pants with white runners

- big padded leather jacket (roger's)

- dance moves resemble aerobic

- pete's happy feet!

it was great to watch! =) thanks for the upload

[TheJorgSacul]

God, what a forgotten CLASSIC!!! One of the great songs and arrangements of the 1980s!

[Nur100etc]

What a loveable goofball. :-)

[Cigarmark]

The original MTV concert video is better, with the harmonica.

[clashwho]

You misspelled Entwistle.

[MitchLeFranque]

THIS SONG DRIVES LIKE NO OTHER!

[kaisercesar]

nice dancing by townshend
