I first heard this song (well, just a small part of the chours) as a kid in a dumb car commercial. Years later, after discovering The Who I came to find out that dumb car commercial jingle was actually one kick ass rock song. Thank you, Pete Townshend, and screw you Nissan.
This is the original demo from Pete. This version in my opinion should have been the version released. This has a better groove. What is shocking is that so many people over look the fact that Pete really could pull these songs from his heart. Paul MacCartney typically gets all the credit with writing the emotional songs, but read what Pete has written it IS just as riveting as the songs that Paul wrote.
it is documented that brian jones went to morocco .. other stuff did follow.... but i hear morocco. i hear the good hash. why have to travel so far for freedom?
And it's like a new record altogether. These comments are important to archive from fans who are listening to something for the first time. I wonder if Pete would consider recording yet more versions of old songs. Someone should ask him. He'll still be doing it at 100 and sounding at his best.
Yea the demos are the versions that the song writer creates by himself and shows it to the band before they record anything. Pete is singing, playing piano, guitar, drums, bass, and any other instruments that are used on all of these and they're great adding the other guys from the band just made it better.

I love how he sings "heeaaaaaaaaaaad!" at 3:27. It sounds like me in the shower singing this song.

All those pauses. Now you know why the Who's Next version is Keith Moon's greatest performance on drums. The fills on "Bargain" are incomparable.

I haven't heard this song since 1983 and I've always wondered where this version came for. Thanks for posting!

Can't believe it's that old. Sounds so new!

What do you mean "recording yet more versions of old songs"? This was recorded before any other versions...I'm pretty sure. Please help me out. Thx.

@LoveRegin1973. Just one minor correction for ya, The Ox played the bass on this demo for Pete. But you are correct, Pete played everything else :-)
