Pete Townshend - Real Good Looking Boy (In The Attic 3-1-06)

[sidedoorjohnny]

Has an extra verse in it than the studio version. It's such a treat the way Pete sings this song. IMO this song along with Let My Love Open The Door are the best pieces of the entire Attic series.

[harleymk88]

Damn.. simply awesome.

[BrinaMarySeattle]

Magic--love--at 5:25 when Pete gets to that verse. Gets me every time. This has to be one of the most beautiful "In the Attic" moments ever.

Pete Townshend is a god plain and simple, he is the reason I started playing guitar in 1976 and I play every day and every time I pick up my guitar I think of Pete and the child that flew by riding on a star...

[sycamoresalmonpatty]

Pete's songs make the downtrodden and losers feel like there's hope. As he once said, "Rock won't eliminate your problems, but it will sort of let you dance all over them."

[joedog281]

Brilliant bit of guitar,shame you let the band down Peter,seems your okay being a rockstar,unlike Glitter.

[alisidey12]

@joedog281 if you are talking about his "alagations" please will you do it somewere else

[swenjin]

No one - and I mean absolutely no one - can strum a guitar like Townshend.

[TheHappyWilly]

R.I.P Tony,a real good looking boy

[JTProud]

"This is called Real Good Looking Boy."

[marshboy101]

What is the guitar?

[pappnasensack]

@marshboy101 Martin. I forgot the exact name of the model.

[sidedoorjohnny]

@pappnasensack Nah it's not a Martin, it's a Collings. Handmade in Texas and very, very expensive. He mentions it in another song in the Attic series I can't remember which one.

[pappnasensack]

@sidedoorjohnny Ah thanks for the information. Thought if it walks like a duck and so forth...

[sidedoorjohnny]

@marshboy101 There's another Attic video and forgive me I can't remember which one, but he talks about his new guitar(the one you see him playing) and mentions it was made in Texas. SO...it's not much but it's a clue. Do some digging I'm sure you can find out.

[sidedoorjohnny]

@sidedoorjohnny Hey Marshboy I did a little research myself and found out it's a Collings, handmade in Texas and I hate to correct papp, I feel bad about that but I'm confident that is indeed a Collings, no idea what model but you can guarantee it's well over 5 Gs.

[rosyd66]

Love Pete but without Rogers vocals this song just isn't the same

[frunobulax88]

@rosyd66 funny thing is, he thinks roger ruined this song.

[TadRapidly]

pete ruined his own song. trippy.

[GDISAMOSATA]

thanks



[condawgthesneak]

anyone have these tabs?

[sidedoorjohnny]

@condawgthesneak Hey man you could always try a site I use called whotabs.com. Im sure it's there cause I remember huntin it down there myself. Very simple really, hard to sing like that of course and that tempo is relentless but it's really nothing but a few simple chords.

[grxlr8]

Excuisite moment at 4:27 when Pete sings "now I'm here with you little darlin' " and they share a glance. The Who and PT were the band of my youth/adolescence and beyond starting about '74 and this may be his best song ever.

[stellamax1]

I love Pete and could listen to and watch him all day, but who is this guy in the back ruining it? I can hardly stand watching this because of him!

[cutiger1984]

@Immunitylieshere

Ummmmm......... actually that would be Pete.

[Albatross1316]

Man can Townshend play... I like the differences between him and the original. This has a lot more heart.

[thatgirlinnewyork]

while i appreciate daltrey's treatment of the lyrics, i really love townsend singing this rather poignant lyric...and forget about his shredding that guitar. just fabulous.

[ezemdi]

amazing!!

[amatelk956]

Wow ! great Guitar work thats Pete ! Kepps the tempo up all the time never slacks off . Love the ending !

[buzzard905]

@amatelk956 That'll be why if you play guitar you'll know Pete is one of THE best rhytmn guitarists ever

[fa4452]

I love this song - very clever lyrics. Pete is the best. Thanks for posting

[oughtbe]

[Realme67]
