[GBS1043]

UNFORTUNATELY, WE ARE GETTING FOOLED. AGAIN AND AGAIN..

PS..don't forget how incredible Jody Linscott is !

[RogellParadox]

Wow, very thanks for posting ^^

[ibazookajoe]

Is that Keith Moon's mum?

[RogellParadox]

@ibazookajoe maybe..Keith Mum xDDDD

[TheMoll60]

i know pete and rache great people to know great pete

[SpaceGuitar69]

Pete Townshend could easlly be as a lead singer.

[tsonnyt]

Go Jody! This is a remarkable version of WGFA which shows the depth of Pete's ability to reinterpret  his own classic. What a great arrangement!!!!

[GBS1043]

GO Jody Linscott (on percussion) !!

[kconfundido]

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡UN GENIO!!!!!!!!

[DumblyBrilliant]

The girl on the maraccas remind me of Mick Jagger in drag.

[amusia111]

This is great! I saw Moon do one better in 1969 - one of the first times they played Tommy in NYC. In the start, there's just guitar, and Moon was raring to go, so he oozed over the drums and sent them flying off the riser. He got up like lightning, set up all the drums again, and the mikes, and the cymbals, and ran around and setup the drum stool, sat down and grabbed the sticks and hit the cymbals in time for the first drum cue! I've always wondered why I've never read about it. Amazing!

[vgadev]

Pete is rock

[Deafbillieblackbell]

I have this show in dvd, it's great, there is an amazing Baba O'Riley.I also love Pete's voice.

[Garbageman9865]

1:58 - 2:06 now my friend that guy had a short period of happiness :)

[TheElixirMan]

3:51-4:25 Now that dude, was on, and probably still is on crack/cocaine lol. Amazing show. Even though he tryed to steal the spotlight I guess one would say from Pete. The guy with the harmonica actually did an OK job. *shrugs*. Pete's the man.

[chipfire]

at 4:21 you see Pete gesture to teh now seated harmonica player for him to get up and get the hell out the way!!

[TrickyTolles64]

Amazing version. It's always affecting when you hear a WHO classic sung by Pete. The dynamics of the songs change and become a bit different. Roger has such a different vocal attack and style than Pete. The difference is very cool. It's like it's Pete doing a cover of one of his own compisitions!

LONG LIVE ROCK!

[VanACDC1979]

I personally think Pete has a better voice than Roger. I'm not saying they don't need roger, roger has an incredible, energetic personality on stage.

[RayZR]

I disagree. I think Roger's voice is much better suited for lead vocals for the genre of music the Who perform.

Pete Townshend does have a good strong voice, but I honestly think his talents lie more in his songwriting and guitar playing.

[Stevesk0011]

oh bite the weenie...pete is better

[CMRbuzz7]

1:31 that bitch is on crack

[hansieh]

wtf are you calling a bitch? Show some respect. Stupid baby.

[Stevesk0011]

haha she is! she all cheesin'!

[Tacosof91]

Also, 55qwerty, Rabbit has nothing to do with the the keyboard break in this song. It is taped, as it has always been. Pete broke the string while the tape rolled, and was able to pull it off without much notice. As you can see Rabbit on the side, almost in panic, signaling the sound guy to either stop the tape or let it roll...we can see Pete start the tape...

[klangfarben6]

Hi- Rabbit is counting off the end of the taped section to the rest of the band. If you listen closely, you can also here a metronome "click" track for the last couple of measures before the section ends. As a long time member of the touring band, he'd be in a perfect position to cue the other performers while Pete is doing is rockstart thing out front. Definitely a slick guitar switch.

[Tacosof91]

That was a very slick guitar change - at a critical moment. Cheers to his crew. Not the best version I've heard, tho. This is 'symphony' Who - which is not the real, down and dirty Who....Pete is the man, no doubt.

[88fous]

This human is a great artist.

[Lestratosphere]

This video is another example of just how incredible of a bass player John Entwistle was. Nobody can get the same sound, not even someone hand picked by Pete Townshend.

R.I.P. John Entwistle

[Rebel0293]

Holy Crap! That was the slickest guitar switch I've ever seen!

[Danfeba]

Chucho Merchan COLOMBIA PA`PA

[Hektor88]

This song is relevant as long as their is corrupt government. Which is to say...forever.

[KevyNova]

Five-second guitar switch!!!!!

Awesome.

[didoipod]

I like to see how Jody Linscott (percussion) plays with so much love to the music, for me is one of the best percussionist of the world.

[silverlink89]

It's nice to see everybody smiling and having fun playing a great version of the song

[unclemeat8]

Interesting version. Thanks for sharing. Also, I loved the trivia regarding the broken string. That was amazing how fast the switch happened! Wonder if "Roger Allman" (?) Townsends tech HEARD the string break? Still incredibly fast!

Fun stuff.

[silverlink89]

I thought his guitar tech was Alan Rogan

[cville57]

i think pete sounds best singing this song,not roger.

[masterofwindmill]

have you got the song 'mary' from this concert? as far as I remember it had an amazing acoustic guitar solo

[55qwerty]

Yes I have the complete DVD show and you're right Pete and Phil had some nice notes on Mary. Someday I'll possibly added to YT.

[iamsoelectricbugaloo]

so does my step mom

[Zebonka]

I miss Roger

[acidbass]

"Coz history ain't plain"

Well done Pete, you've just taken one of the key lyrics regarding the concept of the song and messed it up!

[luiz4rd]

VIVA CHUCHO, lastima que todo el esfuerzo que ha hecho y tan mal que se lo hemos agradecido.

lo del concierto de Waters en Bogotá fue una lastima, pero ojala en europa si tenga el reconocimiento que nosotros no fuimos capaces de darle.

[kalupsa]

bravo... chucho merchan

[hegomezc]

Super... y Chucho Merchan por Colombia presente.

[IvorTheEngineDriver]

Excellent version, excellent concert.

[wcfluke]

The backing musicians are about as far from the Who as one could get. Not bad though.

[mreldude]

yeah they're pretty lame...pete was good though

[AVman9]

yeah i mean who else but Pete can rock that hard successfully on an acoustic guitar?

[ThndrFngrs14]

Watch this video and listen to the bassist. Then, type in the search box "isolated bass" and watch The Ox play the crap out of his bass.

[AVman9]

hellz yea i did that a While ago Entwhistle is absolutely the best bass player in all of Rock history.

[gibblespeak]

when he's not looking at child porn.

[AVman9]

i believe you have Entwhistle and Townshend mixed up. Townshend was caught with child porn, not Entwhistle..

[gibblespeak]

whoops silly me and there i was thinking i was commenting on at a vid of that child porn fan townsend.

[FaithHealer1]

Oh, give it up, would you? Townshend was aquitted, can't you just listen to the music and accept it as music without making judgements on people whose characters you obviously don't know much about? Anyway, back on subject, what a fantastic version of a fantastic song! So professional from Pete and his roadie. Wonderful.

[gibblespeak]

did he or did he not use his credit card card on a child porn site? never mind what story he came out with.

[FaithHealer1]

The story he came up with was the story he had 30 years before all the porn stuff happened. Hence the whole existence of Tommy. Yes he did, but no images were ever found and he was aquitted. And what I'm trying to say is to just let it go, and appreciate the music which is all the guy wants.

[gibblespeak]

did he or did he not use his credit card on a child porn site?no images were eva found so he got rid of one computer.did he or did he not access a child porn site with a credit card?it was well know in the uk that operation ore was investigating pedos with doctors judges et all being caught. he had months to come up with his lame "research"excuse.criminals do and say anything to save thei

r skin. he hasnt even got the guts to admit it and do his time.

[gibblespeak]

let a pedo go.. yeah why not?

[FaithHealer1]

You didn't read a word I wrote, did you?

[gibblespeak]

yeah you said he was found with his credit card details on a child porn site! ill tell ya what, you put your credit card on a pedo site and tell your mom, dad, wife, kids, and family that its ok

[FaithHealer1]

I'm 16, mate.

[FaithHealer1]

All I'm saying is that there was no malicious intent in what he did. The term paedophile means literally, "child lover ". How Townshend can be described as a paedophile when he has had two adult wives, has been aquitted by a legal system that's actually pretty good and has been abused himself is beyond me. Townshend has obviously been very scarred by waht happened to him, as the fact that he couldn't write songs like "Fiddle About" for Tommy shows. He can hardly talk about it now.

[FaithHealer1]

The police weren't afraid to imprison Chris Langham for pornography, despite the fact that he was in the public eye far more than Townshend was. I would fear Ian Huntley and Chris Langham. If I saw Pete Townshend down the street, I would try to talk to him. I think we'll have to agree to disagree here, you believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want. That's all I'm going to say on this, because I want to just enjoy the music for what it is which is obviously how it was intended to be.

[PaperbackWriter95]

pete townshend was molested?

[fonsvanschijndel]

.. always nice to see an old -Dire Straits- guitarist ... Phil Palmer!
