Why can't I find this song from off the original Album Version??? This is good, but the album version is more powerful IMHO! Oh Pete what has happened to you and your writing. This new generation needs to hear from you.
I also love Empty Glass. I always loved this song. While hearing this version , I can't help but to hear and incorporate simon philips incredible rolling drum beat !
great vid !!! thanks for posting !! great song from a truly great album , i was drawn to "empty glass" when it came out and it remains one of my favorite albums to this day, from any performer.-- one of my favorite drummers (simon phillips) plays on the original recording of this song, however , i believe jody linscott (percussionist in this vid ) offers a very tasteful percussion performance as she always does in every gig ive ever seen her do---thanks again for posting---

900 timesd GEORGE W BUSH lied, according to the american supreme court, no communists, as far as I know .... pete townshend accepted a prize from the bleeding hands of this hitler in miniature - baghdad still is a bloody mess and gets worse by the day, the policies of the neo cons have failed completely, the war was in vain and if I was pete townshend ( whom I am NOT, because I am myself) I WOULD HAND THE PRIZE BACK to the very w bush who tried to BUY me with a smile
what is credibility ? to stay with the main lines of what you preach for 40 years or more and pete townshend smilingly accepted a prize from the hands of george w bush, a man who has caused hatred and war between peace loving christians and muslims all through the world for sheer greed and power lust. how can a credible musician/artist EVER accept a prize from the blood soaked hands of such a mass slaughterer whom even the Supreme Court denounced as LIAR?
he would have remained a CREFIBLE man if he hadn´t accepted the kenned center´s award from the hand s of w bush who is a mass killer, liar, thief, fraud, incapable fellow and everything pete pretended to stand against ....
The drummer/percussionist is Jody Linscott. She has played w/ Pete, The Who, McCartney to name a few been around the scene for awhile . I love this tune great album"Empty Glass"

OK Im a little more than a bit pissed off! Did Pete just diss Chicago? He said "if you want to hear all those nursery songs go to Chicago" Are you kidding me Pete? Chicago has always been a Who stronghold! For you to dis my city and me as well after my 30 years of lotalty as well as my hard earned dollars spent on you, really pisses me off! Is that what you think of Chicago you big nosed child molester, I never thought i would say this,,,,but FUCK YOU TWAT! I WAS your biggest fan!
Dude...chill. Don't take it so personally. Musicians say things like that all the time when onstage. I'm sure he doesn't have a personal grudge against your city or you for that matter. I mean only about a year after this he released a live album from the House of Blues in chicago to support the local Maryville Academy, so I'm sure there's nothing behind that little blurb at the beginning. Just enjoy the music.
I concede the fact that i may have over reacted...i posted that shortly after my rant. Did you not see that? So chill yourself! Im still a huge pete fan! And I apologize for thechild molester comment. I was out of line for that. Sorry pete!

No way is he a filthy pedophile. Didn't you read where he was cleared and that was all wrong? Unless you that's what you meant, then sorry.
