Pete Townshend-Magic Bus

[ppger1]

Pete is the most authentic guitarist I've heard in years. He doesn't have to copy anyone.

[chyeahidid]

2:35 <3 one of my favorite rockers of all time

[dagsbollox]

[DanObx64]

Pete is my muse...i draw inspiration everyday from him.

[ma271ch]

[joedog281]

I know what type of bus he would prefer,(school bus)

[TheWelshhead]

one hell of a riff 

[BHDmalarkey]

[broadband0118]

[urbanterrorest]

He`s more than astonishing! It`s the proof of rock`n roll in perfection! We love him in Germany too!

[jeffschaefer65]

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!



[doctorwalex]

Pete, You Are The Man. Yeah.

[ConnorG56]

I laughed so hard when i saw a vid of justin bieber play guitar. He was nearly crying because his 'fingers hurt'. WHAT. A. FEMALE. Then i watched wont get fooled again and townshends doing windmills with a bloody hand. WHAT. A. MALE.

[ConnorG56]

thumbs up for slagging a fag. cool.

[Iantorchwood94]

@NinjaKidLesPaulDude Yeah , Keith is my hero too, but for other reasons, I love Keith cos he's (yeah, in me mind he's still alive) foockin damn bloody brillant drummer ! But I love him also because he was insane and touchy in the same time . The Who are my heros in fact . :D

Who doesn't like Moonie after all , it's impossible not to love him !!! :D

[zzy66613]

help, i can't stop downloading Pete's video

[TheRaymonds007]

no damn fucking bieber or other is gonna do when they are 60......!

[WolfEyesatNight]

Retarded audience.. clapping out off beat.

that's what you get when you listen to lady gaga.

[B1ggu5]

@WolfEyesatNight They're not clapping off beat.

[WolfEyesatNight]

@B1ggu5

lol, good one.

[prit0sidd]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[terrapinlovesyou]

legend.

[hagen1892]

Super,, Musik die man verstehen muss,, nimm und höre oder lass es. Geil super perform,,,

[James68712]

hes still got it

[staunched]

The Magic Bus is to much to take Pete, can you tone it down to a Bieber level for a bit until I get over what I just heard. @sober8 I'm so glad I found your page, Pete just does something every time, every moment. Have a search food Magic Bus at The Deep End, that will blow a lot of you that has seen and heard this, cheers ;)

[aMonkeysBrain]

3 and a half? What took you so long. I'm sure if you asked your parents you were tapping your toes in your crib to some Baba O'Riley! Saw them in Shea Stadium on their ...farewell tour back in 1980 something with about 90,000 fans. It was absolutely insane.

[Iantorchwood94]

This guy is my hero , the best guitarist we can ever find . He's AMAZING !!!!

I'm a Who fan (espcially a Pete and John one ) since I'm 3 and a half , and I will always be !

[TheJayman213]

everytime i hear the studio version, i imagine a bus driving through the desert with a sunrise behind it. starting with a black screen, that would make an awesome movie intro :D

[kurtcobainsk8dudu]

I so love the moment at 2:35 

[spielepet]

seriously, am I the only one who thinks he looks good?!

[HighDefVideo1]

Pete always presents old songs in new ways... lovin it!

[randomdave30]

Has he really got a magic bus or is it just make-believe

[Jag117]

5 people can't afford to take the magic bus.

[j66hng]

This has just blown me away! I love stripped back versions of songs! Raw power! Unbelievable.

[Berenueve]

I fucking love this guy!!!!!!!

[sebastienpaproki2000]

AWESOME!!! There is no words to say how good is Townshend.

[superchallenger09]

this version completely ROCKS!

[palindrome1959]

Can someone tab this version out. It really rocks!!

[giventofly1789]

@palindrome1959 tab it yourself

[darthdude1016]

this is how the orginal shouldve sounded

[Ylviste]

When someone mentions the activity "riffing", this performance immediately comes to mind.

[ACoustaDC]

lets see justin bieber, or mandm or justin timberlake or any of the other flash in the pan no talent wanks do this... especially when they're 60. Pete is astonishing.

[Berenueve]

@ACoustaDC Justin Bieber is going to be off the charts in 5 years

[liuzhou]

awesome!

[wetjeans33]

peter denis blanford townshend , genius genius genius and no mistakes just a wry smile from pete as he allways has done

[wetjeans33]

peter denis blanford townshend , genius genius genius

[akoppen]

One of the best rythm rock guitar players

[DieselDave3]

its cool watching that telecaster beg for mercy ;)

[santabees]

how can a guy make so much noise out of one wee guitar,this song's 42 year's old, he's better than all of them in that era, aye and some, if you listen to this song and don't smile you need help...

[harobikes730]

his face at 2:34= priceless

[AngelofMusic2288]

@harobikes730 as a musician, I can say that face looks like a 'oops, I made a mistake' face... but I'll be damned if I can hear any. And that sheepish smile looks like a '... and I think I got away with it' face. Any musician knows these expressions, because they are mostly involuntary.

[MrContemarco63]

FANTASTIC PETE,the best ever

[derin111]

Who are the five idiots who registered "dislikes"?

[DieselDave3]

@derin111 ..as Pete would put it "FUCKING WANKERS"

[dougww1ectebow]

@derin111 Just some idiots. Pay them no mind.

[johnperry25]

brilliant.

has anyone got a link for a version of this video that has an extra 30 seconds at the beginning?

[rixontwills]

i can listen to this a few more times

easy

[franruizde]

Awesome!!!

[haidacanoe]

that intro

SIC!

[Filmspotter21]

Pete Townshend is gona outlive Miley Cyrus!

[mydogchance195]

He rocks this 3:23..Gotta love it

[2stroke1971]

Holy Fuck!!!! I just had an eargasm!!!

[poppadingo]

This is just ridiculous. Pete should give the young pups lessons on how to be a real fucking rock star.

[RRfenderibanez]

Vibroking AMP . Yes !

[maaary123]

My idol, Pete Townshend IS the man, nobody compares to him.

[o0osilversuzieo0o]

Wanna ride the magic bus!! woooo bus magic bus

[polarjim515]

There is NO ONE better than Pete. Thanks for posting these.

[abdufiadbfajdfb]

This guy doesn't need guitar solos.

[norman25bickle]

Mr. Townsend,play the guitar and let me listen to the Power of The Who Music.

[Pulsar205]

crackin' performance!!

[oldmanmyers]

Someone told me Pete doesn't go electric anymore???

[buddha860]

@oldmanmyers I went and saw them in 2009 at a winery in Australia and he was definatly electric. He's always played heaps of accoustic stuff though, he's the king of the rock accoustic as far as I'm concerned

[RayManzarekGod]

@oldmanmyers Complete and total lie.

[rdingo1]

roger who? it's all pete!

[webusecom]

@rdingo1 yes in fact you're right

[buddha860]

@rdingo1 the who wouldn't be the who without roger. Roger is a fucking legend and a rock god. Pete wouldn't have played with him otherwise.

[allspoonsnofork]

Forget the magic bus - I want Pete's guitar and sick skills! I want it, I want it, I want it!

Awesome performance.

[rockerr12595]

that tone...

[bartcummins]

even if Pete's not playing entirely for real, at one time he did & helped change the world.

[8354graham1]

Awesome

[smokyotis66]

The Who are unquestionably great. And Pete would have become a star with or without The Who.

[liorzilka]

<<<<Love this song (:

[davjamrid]

All hail Mr. Townsend!! Mad, mad skill!!

[dchuk]

The next time I see someone crank out one of their tunes using only a guitar and a mike and perform anywhere near this level will be the first time.

[r6chrisk]

unbelievable!! the daddy

[r6chrisk]

wow

[rdingo1]

Roger who???

[thanksyounow]

Wishing the bus stop was near.

[arikan199]

this is magic

[maidenfer05]

now this is a real musician

[ulster44]

he's the daddy!!!!ktf!!!

[MrPieterWittenberg]

Awesome how he owns that open A chord

[ivanmetal2009]

cada diaque pasa este loco toca mejor!!!

[jaymoe310569]

the MODFATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[TheBodthemod1]

how i want a 52 telecaster

[hipcat01]

that's how a tele should sound. awesome

[donottawaguitar]

the king

[SuperSaiyanNaruto]

Hell of a sound from that guitar. Dirty and loud.

[macnoetz]

hey one of the greatest musikans of the world

[MorbidReligion]

Myyy herooo. 

[chinesecantdrive]

amazing, the way he can stay so on vocaly while making the guitar scream.

[wrsawy1]

No matter how you feel about pete, the dude can play. He can finger pick, strum, power chord and spanish flamingo. He put things together in an amazing way.

[ravioli49]

YES!! We won`t get fooled today!!

[fire3245]

I think this is his best performance

[DaddysLittleFatty]

This is what rhythm guitar is all about !

[ravioli49]

@DaddysLittleFatty YES!!

[eli3001]

Too cool. Any idea what a '52 Telecaster is worth?

[george2097]

I bought a used one for around 1000 But I can't make it sound like his.

Something to do will talent , I think

[cookienuts3]

@eli3001 nope, but its a nice guitar

[sagm999]

Amazing sound coming out of that Telecaster. Are there any more numbers than the three ones uploaded performed this night?

[smokejaguar]

shit man, the way the guitar responds to the vocals and the lyric...amazing.

[Deafbillieblackbell]

I can stop to watch this video.Pete Townshend rules!

[wsieb]

I adore you Pete you are an absolute inspiration to all musicians. Your work and everything you have done will always be cherished and respected.

[LesPaulization]

Outstanding!

[jenkoEire]

so much love for the man

absolute HERO

[SoulGer69]

Paul Weller has done "Magic Bus" as an add-on during his live shows. Always goes down a treat. The brilliance of Townshend can never be recaptured however.

[superrps]

Classic expression at 2:35.......so effortless and precise is his style. And forever the 'windmill' is Pete's!!

[Catjoe12]

I had a friend (back in the day) who couldn't quite hear the lyrics and thought it was "Nuts - rabbit nuts!)

[Bleepbloopd]

LOL

[BHDmalarkey]

its so good i love the sound of that guitar

[watertreaswf]

A powerful performance for sure. Gets me jazzed! I was wondering, and looked around for an hour or so to see who might have covered "Magic Bus". To my surprise, the big name groups I saw that tried put the lead guitar pretty much in the background and made the song weak. Nobody I found came close to this or the original.

[Jag117]

Does anyone know of an mp3 of this? In higher quality than youtube?

[fazmanification]

voice,guitar skills,song writing,stage presence , this fella's got it all!!!!

[cheezandtoast]

@fazmanification Except Hair

But He is awesome

[majinbunda]

great performing. just a genius like pete would ha ve a song like that

[bcwdrums]

Great performance..............

[superrps]

plus, he's adjusting controls in between strums!! Awesome performer that Pete.

[sandi739]

look how fast his hands go :O wooo!

[LesPaulization]

Wow. Amazing.. Absolute talent.

[superrps]

He is marvelous! 40 years performing this tune and still does it with passion.

[erock195]

I could use an mp3 of this performance.

[parisianUK]

Search ' free youtube to mp3 converter' on youtube free/virus free program

[cgravier]

[finisher21799]

[MickTremontiFan]

Fantastic what a legend

[grimyjeeves]

Every time I see this clip I'm in total awe. Bloody brilliant - one man and his guitar - wish I could play like it.

[TheSimonizer1]

[kimberlykenobi]

Pete Townshend is God.

[tepithebest]

So great. He don't even need drums.

[jaeickho]

I would give a piece of my male anatomy to be able to play like that. Mans a fuckin genius.

[DORKYBA55ATTACK]

Pete Townshend could have an amazing solo guitar...But he doesn't need it because he has enough fun with The Who. :)

[Valkyrie0010]
