Pete Townshend - Electronic Wizardry demo (1970)

[knotightul]

This wouldn't happen to be on the Super Deluxe edition of Quadrophenia now, would it?

[babyshambler]

@knotightul

There's a track on there called 'Wizardry' isn't there? I've not bought the new set yet.

[thornhead1994]

@babyshambler The track is very similar but there are some slight changes

[AsianDubFoundation1]

Is this really all from 1970?Or did PT add to it since ,particularly the drums at the front.If it's all from 1970 then this is truly astounding!

[rusty1491]

Sounds like today's club music.

[tomthefunky]

When I saw him in NYC 1993, he played this and just danced around the stage. The band didn't perform it, Pete played this actual tape. No one knew what it was because it wasn't on Psychoderelict but everyone instantly loved it. Then it was all over and everyone wondered what the hell just happened. I'm not crazy about the part where the live drums kick in though. I prefer the electronic drums in the beginning to the live drums at the end. Just my opinion. Thanks for this, babyshambler.

[jmoarch]

So THIS is where the Chemical Brothers learned it from!

[MrIkesimba]

I've got news for you, Pete is still ahead of THIS time.

[thisiskelcy]

The drums that come in at 1:35ish, is that Pete? Just when you already think he's a genius...

[joss885]

Hey great upload, where did you source this form??

oh and yeah lets have some more of those great drumming clips of you mooning about : )

[babyshambler]

@joss885

It was on a disc full of Who stuff I traded yeaaaaaaaars ago. There's nothing else really that rare on it though.

[fontanalu]

@babyshambler It`s still great. I love these PT demos. What disc it that from exactly?

[babyshambler]

@fontanalu

It was a home-made compilation I traded with someone, not a named bootleg.

[FSSBvidz]

god this is just freakin awesome

[mothernaturecockbloc]

Holy hell. I love this.

[Korph88]

hey, i've ben folowing you for quite a while now, ever since istarted with moon's style of drumming and your videos are very helpful and you really have that keith's spark on drums, would be nice if you started making more videos again

[babyshambler]

@Korph88

I might do at some point. There's a Who competition currently ongoing that I might submit some new 'Leeds' playing for.

[Jaynekullen]

I hope you do.

You are far and away the best drummer I've seen online, anywhere.

Cheers! :-)

He invented epic early video game music!

[H1GhVoL7aGe]

Who does the Drums on his Demos?

[at90percent]

@H1GhVoL7aGe Pete does the drums on his demos.

[fattkattz55]

@at90percent wow really

[at90percent]

@fattkattz55 I was just answering H1GhVoL7aGe's question, "Who does the drums on his demos?".

[1969thewho]

@at90percent Pete drum's on them

[at90percent]

@1969thewho Yeah, Pete plays the drums on his demos. BTW did I mention that Pete plays the drums on his demos?

[1969thewho]

@at90percent No need to get funny with me u silly cunt ...now fuck off



[at90percent]

@1969thewho Based on your stupid overly angry comments, yes there is a great need. I don't take orders from losers.

[at90percent]

@1969thewho I had already said that Pete plays drums on his videos before you made this comment. You are just repeating what I already told the person who asked, You are the one being silly.

[1969thewho]

@at90percent Well sorry for not reading all the comments ....all the time.... on every single page ....ever posted

[babyshambler]

@1969thewho

You are forgiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...­.........veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen­!

[at90percent]

@1969thewho This is exactly the dopey response I expected from you. Now get over yourself and go rock to some Who OK?

[1969thewho]

@at90percent LOL Have I touched a nerve.

You surmise too much.I explained I didn't see your comment until after I posted. In a later post I made, you simply could not grasp the idea of sarcasm(I don't believe you have that yet in the USA), so in retrospect I'm not "dopey"... I just lowered my tone and standard to some would who could not understand the concept of my posting mistake. Anyhow I'm bored with this mater, you and you'r attitude toward's me, so now, I shall say goodbye.

[at90percent]

@1969thewho OK then, yeah, if what you said was sarcasm, it is in fact the lamest and lowest form. I don't think you really understand the term. Keep telling yourself how smart you are though, maybe someday your wish will come true if you just keep wishing hard enough.

[babyshambler]

@at90percent

Lads! Life's too short. Let's just all agree that Townshend is a visionary and get on with our days =)

[fattkattz55]

where can i get this?

[fattkattz55]

HOLY SHIT!!!!!

[777jackpot1]

Wow. He invented punk rock and rave!

[babyshambler]

It's on various bootlegs and was also a b-side to the 'English boy' single. I upped it because it wasn't already on YT, pure and simple =)

[LongLiveWho]

WTF!??!??!?! awesome!

[eyerockeyeroll]

Wow, this is incredible.

[accadaccasuperstar]

this sounds awesome!

[Zebonka]

He's a major dude alright.

I'm kind of pissy that their yearly "Win a guitar" competitions are only open to the UK/US.
