Yes, I've always wanted to hear this too. I might be wrong, it is a good 30 years since I read about this session, but my recollection is that Pete played drums, not bass on this session. Note the drumming is focused on the beat with only a few flourishes, the way Pete plays on Who Came First
con tutto il rispetto per i "Rolling" ma la versione "Who" di questa canzone è più sanguigna più energetica. Chi dice il contrario vada a sentirsi l'originale.A volte ci sono cover che risultano meglio degli originali. ci sono tanti esempi " i say a little prayer" la versione di Aretha è meglio di quella di Dionne, she come in through the bathroom window di Coker è meglio che dei Beatles etc.......
Interesting to finally hear this. I have heard that this was recorded with 'Under My Thumb' in an attempt to keep money coming in for the Stones as it looked like they were going to have a long spell behind bars for the drug bust! Thanks for uploading!
yeah it's a cover but at this time in the who's career they desperete for something new to happen and they were releasing random singles until pete townshend wrote tommy

It's NOT better than the Stones version, nevamind. . .but it's really cool to hear this. Had no idea they'd done it. . .

First time hearing this.. it sounds great! Is that a echo/delay effect on Pete's guitar playing the main riff?

@cowpalace95, Yes he did. John was on his honeymoon.
They rang him on the QE II ship where he was on and ask for his approval. He later thought, "I thought someone died."

The stones did a version of this that sounds similar but much better. I think this is a cover.
