Pete was CLEARED of doing anything wrong, though he was still made to be on an "offenders list" for five years thereafter anyhow. But there was absolutely nothing on his computers they took to analyse and he told them (the authorities) beforehand why he was going on that search for stories about abused children as research for a book about his own childhood trauma of being molested by his m. grandmother.
Absolutely one of Pete Townsend's masterpieces during his tenuous solo career. EVERY instrument in-tune, insynch, perfectly balanced with vocals, percussions, horns and strings. Magnificent!
@davcomcj, he's also delving in to his parents' background. Both performed in big bands so Pete grew up surrounded by that music. This is a terrific update to that kind of sound and excitement. Extra cool that Emma, his daughter, is on stage with him -- that makes it three generations playing the music.

If anybody knows who those backup singers are I'd luv to know. I find myself watching this clip over and over because the one on the left is a pretty lady. Can't take my eyes off her
Already mentioned but the woman singing at the beginning is Emma, Pete's daughter. Got her looks from her lovely mother, Karen.
If memory serves, he pulled Emma out of the audience, to satirize Springsteen.
Worth mentioning that both of Pete's parents performed in big bands so he grew up hearing that music and got into rock when he saw the film 'Rock Around The Clock' many times. This song and the others written for 'Deep End' are a natural marriage of the two influences.
You should be sealed in concrete so we don't have to ever hear from you, you stupid cunt. Bet you don't even play any type of instrument except maybe the skin flute. BITCH!!!!!
I remember watching this video on the music channel in the morning before high school back in 84 or 85. The feeling of fun, rhythm and excitement woke me out of my usual morning stupor.
excuse me? You dont know what youre breaching anymore. dont promote me as being a creep you arse licker.(the guy was way overrated, he wrote 3 or 4 albums and he had a few that i liked. then he died, god man i liked hendrix when i was a 6th grader just like everyone else. just jump on the band waggon why dont you.
so your a yank ?,, that explains a lot,, Pete was a great rhythm guitarist just ahead of Lennon who was under rated, but heres the league table lard arse,,Roy Buchanan, Link Wray, Guitar Slim, Pee Wee Crayton, Hubert Sumlin, Stevei R V, John Renbourn. Richard Thompson, Lonnie Mack, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck , John McLaughlin ,, Lowell Fulson
,, Mike Bloomfield,, Dick Dale,, Peter Green,, Fred Sonic Smith,, Wayne Kramer,, Glenn Ross Campbell
then throw Pete in somewhere as a dynamic innovative rhythm merchant,, like an old wrestler who does a lot of shouting and dressing up crazy but very little ground breaking ideas or invention,, now get off to school for that there book learning hillbilly boy !!
Yeah a yank. Yes those are some really good guitar players and sure Pete would fit some where in their. But i was really only talking about how hendrix was overrated. Where are you from britain?
A lot of people confuse innovation with genius. I'd give hendrix a 10 out of 10 for innovation for his time and his style is still influential today but as a guitarist, he can't compare to many that have come after him. That doesn't mean his influence is overrated, it just means that as a guitarist compared to many that followed, he was limited. He deserves to be in the top 100 just not number 1.
Pete is a great muso. Rolling stone magazine rate him in the top 100 guitarists of all time. I read somewhere that he used to get quite upset at how inferior his guitar playing was to Jimmy Hendrix. Personally I think he's a better guitarist than Jimmy - certainly a better musician. Jimmy couldn't even set his guitar on fire properly (woodstock). This vid shows that even without his guitar, Pete is a great musician.
this song and similar, were music. For you could sing it, dance to it, turn it up loud etc..., and you wouldn't need a drug to get it. I'm pretty sure, this is from 1985, oh the 80's...give me those days again. New nothing of terrorism, people seem to be nicer, just everything of the 80's was good. Thanks for putting on the clip, 5/5.
Petes daughter was so cute, I actually dated a girl that looked like her, and her cute as hell to. we used to dance to this song and she would lip synch the opening. What a great song and video...thanks for the memories.
I use to watch this Video on America's Top 10 w/Casey Kasem, New York HOT Tracks and Night Tracks on SuperStation WTBS (Now TBS)
God Bless Pete Townsend
Now THIS is Old School unlike some of the music that we got going on now, especially all that Gangsta Rap that these Young Adults and Teens would ratehr hear.
Pete Townshend is a genius. He is a person I respect very deeply. I adore him and his music. His music gives me meaning in the world. Anyone who would rather just put him down should shut up because they obviously have no idea who Pete or The Who are.
-and I know what I'm talking about, so don't give me any shit-
On Concert For Kampuchea Paul Mac says "the only lousy sod who wouldn't wear a silver suit ...". PT saved the suit and saved it for the right occasion
@enigmaduo she looks like a moron to me ......... cant even sing in english properly, can't be pete's daughter.
i dont even know how to start on this video look at it. what was pete thinking with that gold jacket. song sucks. band sucks, go back to the Who for a real music!
umm .... is that a rehtorical question, it must be because i have videos and you don't? fuck you, the who were way better than this 80s trash, i spent that whole few years just begging for the who to reform.
I've seen a few versions of this song on video, and I think this is the best one. Too bad the first minute or so seem to be cut out. Does anyone have and can upload the this video version of this song in it's entirety?
OctoJan, thanks so much! My dear Dad always had a harmonica with him and when I played this for him years ago, he totally flipped over the harmonica playing. Never knew who it was! Dear Dad is playing his harmonica in Heaven now.
