[preecejon]

red dog :)

[SuperMotherFunk]

can anyone work out what he's doing.. my guess would be e and a shape bar chords but then why does he have a capo on the third fret when does he useopen strings?

[getownedn00b]

that was amazing! loved the guitar

[fontanalu]

Fine fine. Doors opened.

[InfinitePlaylist909]

I was the 2000th like :D

[Edelinquent]

@InfinitePlaylist909 2001 haha

[panMiroslav]

wow, hes pretty good at guitar..

[waypastprime]

@panMiroslav Yeah pretty good. You are looking at a pioneer of not only guitar, but of lasting rock and roll.. No Justin Bieber here. Just a rocker from the UK.

[megaonyx7]

Good song man..

[MegaPirates11]

hes not even a rythem guitariest, but he might be the best

[RESERVE31]

@MegaPirates11 What do you like sports, sorry how old are you 17? Pete is one rated with the very few he is the best. He isa living Legend can you play like that or sing or just criticize? Put up or shut it up!!

[JailGuitarBill]

BRILLIANT !!!!!

[oskisnutz]

The true beauty of this song comes through so well in this performance. Pete is, and always will be, one of the greatest.

[ritter89]

pete's become a strumming genius over the years. he's plays some really interesting rhythmic patterns

[Poludioskroz]

When people keep repeating That you'll never fall in love When everybody keeps retreating But you can't seem to get enough Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart When everything feels all over When everybody seems unkind I'll give you a four leaf clover Take all the worry out of your mind Let my love open the door Let my love open the door Let my love open the door To your heart

[marcfrancoisrouleau]

Comment ne pas aimer cette version acoustique de ce classique du répertoire de Pete? Un mec avec une énergie et une voix formidable! Longue vie!

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

removed that comment because it said kneepants

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

oce in an interview i said your retreating described as a mirror of his own audience.... I AM! who is the answer when reflecting 4&Clover

[Roberto7474001]

One of the most common 70s-80s movie soundtracks. And still a good song!

[thewindandthekite]

Let there be hope, Pete's in great shape.

[solcario2]

This is an epic song

[evilemperordude]

Anywhere I could actually get an mp3 of this other than just ripping the audio from the video. Probably my favorite version of the song.

[7927jackpark]

Sounds better in a live performance than on a recording.

[M2CardTricks]

Take me home tonight brings me here !

[M2CardTricks]

@M2CardTricks BTW > DAN in REAL LIFE brings me here too !

[danning1]

@MrNotyag I wouldn't trust Lady Gaga to be around my children, either. So what?

[stevobath]

Just 'cause someone may or may not be 'perving' over sick photos,does that mean you suddenly have to not like their music? I dont like Gary Glitter- as a human being hes a sleaze.I do however still like some of his tunes.Its a bit like the Germans in WW2.The SS etc were evil.No doubting that, but they still had the best uniforms, & technology! Cant help what you like artistically.

[glaeken14]

Tiene tres acordes..Verdad?

Has three chords..truth?

[ibrarmfaiz]

Music needs to take a return to this...true talent...writing your own songs...no autotune...and the ability to make you feel!

[ttraynor1]

30 dislikes. That's just hilarious. Say the other 1695.

[hottemperwind]

You guys posting lies about Pete obviously have some anger issues. Understand this, Pete Townshend had nothing to do with what happened to you in the past nor has he done any kind of harm to any young person ever. Got that? Good. Now please get some therapy and a life.

[daonfpe]

!!!VERIFIED!!! NOT PROPAGANDA FOLKS!!! TOWNSHEND IS FOR SURE A F U C K -I N G C R E E P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Gary Glitter[s] and Townshend are 'two' separate issues!!)

[GABRIELEsongs]

Can't understand why anyone would give 'Thumbs Down' to this.

It's a great song and a great acoustic performance !!

[ur2oooh]

and I thought I didn't like acoustic guitar ...

[weazle0203]

@ur2oooh Acoustic guitar is the masterclass. Forget the E. Real feeling you only can convey with acoustic.

[sseebb91]

Él mismo te teje el pullover.

[RLtW88]

26 people still have closed doors, the poor bastards.

[MrNadal94]

AWESOME

[bleep77]

I love this song! Dedicated to my beautiful wife. I love you and miss you baby

[xjaimesw]

que buena <3

[garfieldlambda]

I though he was black....nothing against black people

[chuckwest28]

one of the best songs ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[2o6rocker]

He is a taurus/rooster "horoscope/zodiac" just like me, and i play guitar/sing. The ending was so cool.

[daonfpe]

@2o6rocker Yeah, a F U C K I N G 'TAURIAN' ROOSTER just like you, huh? AMAZING THAT THIS MAN COULD GET ANY BEAUTIFUL CHICKEN IN THE HEN HOUSE, AND HE CHOOSES INSTEAD TO PREY ON YOUNG CHILDREN AND SEXAULLY ABUSE THEM? (Hey, got any children???) I'M SURE YOU WOULDN'T MIND ALLOWING OL' PETE TO SPEND AH, LET'S SAY A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE BEDROOM GIVING GUITAR LESSONS TO ANY OF YOUR CHILDREN??? (..if you've got any!?!?) DAMN, AND HE WROTE AND PEFORMED SUCH GREAT MUSIC...SOME OF MY FAVOURITE TO....

[baseketball1013]

screw those 26 people..this song is amazing

[noshearth]

Can anyone tell me about a live performance by pete from a long time ago.....anything from 15 to 25 years ago years ago. It was in a nightclub and a duet with Alison Moyet. Lots of other musicians with them and someone on saxophone i think . I saw it on a random video clip somewhere and never found it again. LOVED IT!!! Dont even know the name of the piece or where it was.... I would love to hear it again!!!!.

[kdavisification]

@MrNotyag I wouldn't trust you around your children.

[geckohead135]

thumbs up if your british too :)

[MysticDMBherb]

I can only listen to this live, otherwise I want to shoot myself in the face

[JAB5625]

Behind perhaps Sir Paul, Pete is the greatest living rock legend in the world IMHO. No debate.

[TehSxeNerd]

@JAB5625 lets be honest here, the beatles were 95% pop. not rock

[TenStoryLoveSong]

@JAB5625 Don't forget his mate Gary Glitter!

btw 'Sir Paul' is fucking shit. Frog Chorus....

[gretschcity]

@JAB5625 I will go with Jimmy Page...otherwise I totaly agree.

[PeteTownshendFanatic]

@JAB5625 - I agree with you 110%!!!! :)

[Ylviste]

@JAB5625 To me, Pete is the single greatest songwriter, the single greatest visionary in rock and roll, he has no equal.

[Glocks22sIV]

AWSOME!!!!!!

[staunched]

Saying this is the last one you have of Pete playing on Jools means you didn't capture English Boy?

[TehSxeNerd]

@staunched its in the search results for petes name

[staunched]

@TehSxeNerd Yeah thanks, I did find it after and said in the comments,"oh here it is" or something LOL Both these tracks are brilliant I better ad too while I'm here;)

[SESdisciple]

Amazing song by a rock legend.

[invaderzimgirl14]

Happy birthday to Pete!♥

[The8347135]

Happy birthday

[gayleyf]

My first dance at wedding .... PT you rock and always will!

[bb4960]

George to Zoe

[phattyacidz]

Any idea what chords he's doing on the outro ? He does it so fast its hard to hear it !

[SadSak08]

Pete's a genius. 

[daonfpe]

@SadSak08 Musically speaking yes...otherwise...HE'S A FUCKING CREEP!!!!!! AND UNTIL SOMEONE CAN PROVE EVERYTHING THAT HE DID IS A LIE..THEN AND ONLY THEN WILL I APOLOGIZE! I WAS SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY SOME FAGGOT CREEP FROM 1986-1992!!!!!!!!! PISS ME OFF!

[mesmerizeme]

A police sergeant arrested Townsend when he returned to collect his computer.

An initial examination of the computer revealed that it stored "the most appalling images" of very young children engaged in most humiliating sexual acts, said the QC.More than 4,000 such images, mostly of young girls but many of young boys, were found.Mr Royce said they showed "very young children, some appeared as young as two, in the main ranging from three, four, five and six up to possibly about nine or 10

[myownwall]

@mesmerizeme

I dont believe any of this shit on child porn and Pete. Its all just propaganda! Take it somewhere else. Apparently you are not here to listen to an awesome musician sing an awesome song like the rest of us! We dont come here to hear your bullshit so PLEASE take it down the road!

[affectionatepunch]

@myownwall "I dont believe any of this shit on child porn and Pete. Its all just propaganda!" And thats what it is Propaganda,The comment mesmerizeme made was about Gary Glitters trial he merely changed the names.Pete Townshend didnt go on trial...

[myownwall]

@affectionatepunch

Thank You for being right and setting the record straight "mesmerize" IS a "dumb shit" like you said.

Pete Townshend is awesome! and can have any girl he wants. Well maybe not as much now that he is so much older,but he sure did through the years. He dont need any other kind of sex.

[affectionatepunch]

@mesmerizeme After a 4 month police investigation police revealed Pete townshend did not download child porn where as Gary Glitter downloaded thousands of images and vids.Yet on your favourites you have a Gary Glitter vid so what does that make you?

[kdavisification]

@mesmerizeme You an incredible douchebag. Let me guess you're a christian. I can tell because you want to lynch people without a shred of evidence. Besides your the one that keeps bringing up child porn, maybe your the pedo. Just shut the fuck up.

[daonfpe]

@myownwall HEY ASSHOLE! I WAS SEXUALLY MOLESTED BY SOME FAGGOT YEARS AGO AS YOU PERHAPS ALREADY KNOW BY NOW! I'VE SEEN HIS PROFILE AT ABUSEWATCH, AND IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING OTHERWISE TO BACK UP WHAT YOUR SAYING, THEN SHUT YOUR F U C K I N G MOUTH! GOT THAT??? Oh yeah, I get it now: SEE NO EVIL, SEAK NO EVIL, AND HEAR NO EVIL...right???? GOTCHA!

[SunthunderBolt1]

@mesmerizeme thats a common misconception, what really happened was he was writing a paper on the subject and had used the websites for refrence, the police investigated, and found that there were no pictures on his hard drive. There was only one entry to the main page of the site. This is what was reported in the papers, so I trust it, but do some research and decide for yourself. I belive you are simply misinformed

[affectionatepunch]

@mesmerizeme I know your post is a month old but it made me that mad i had to reply.That statement made by John Royce QC was made at the trial of Gary Glitter and you know it you sad prick! You have merely changed Glitters name for Townshends.Pete townshend didnt go to court.You have made this comment before on Petes"Rough boys" vid but you are that stupid you forgot to change the names

[kdavisification]

@mesmerizeme You got your story mixed up with Gary Glitter asshole.

[daonfpe]

@mesmerizeme I don't know whether to put thumbs up or thumbs down! I guess this is the first post that I've seen where doing either will give the wrong impression of how I feel about this whole shit that Pete engaged in!

:-(

[PoliticalPimpin]

WoW....he realy plays with passion

[JonasREJCS]

thats is a kind of Black eyed peas's love you long time

[pinkvintage007]

"Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Well maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay." - Almost Famous

Rock On, Pete...

[TenStoryLoveSong]

@pinkvintage007 Are you a member of his ring?

[weazle0203]

It looks so stressless and smooth when he plays. It´s amazing.

[FetishFuel]

His vocals remind me of Sting a bit.  I'd like to hear The Who do a version of Next to You, or maybe Message in a Bottle.

[TehSxeNerd]

man, he just made that j-200 hit bitch. Pete you fucking musical genius

[KimSal14]

Plain and simple...

Let my love open the door, to your heart-3

[moxichick67]

I was lucky to have seen The Who in person and hear Pete sing this song.

[choptoplivesagain]

tehsxenerd is a vile piece of dung.  Pete Rules!

[TehSxeNerd]

@choptoplivesagain why am i vile, i was backing pete up hes a fucking prodigy

[England5is5the5best]

Pete singing about kids again.

[TehSxeNerd]

@England5is5the5best hey, fuck off hes a musical genius and we all know the shit about him being a pedophile is all BS

[England5is5the5best]

@TehSxeNerd Pete is a vile,creepy nonce,and you are a paedophile supporting piece of shit.

[kdavisification]

@England5is5the5best Please kill yourself!

[England5is5the5best]

@kdavisification Pete Townshend obsession=paedophile Obsession=Paedophile

[kdavisification]

@England5is5the5best Yes, I agree you have a Pete Townsend obsession. I also agree you have a paedophile obsession . Yes, I believe you are a closet paedophile. You may have the final word on this subject you PERVERT.

[England5is5the5best]

@kdavisification Do you have children?

[harnois75]

@kdavisification Good call.

[kdavisification]

@harnois75 Thanks Dude!

[Pats211x]

Deeds!

[U2Purple]

great performance!!!!!!!!!!!

[est3inb3rg]

I'd rather listen to this than to music made nowadays simply because it seems like they feel those emotions more than music made nowadays.

[fredmandela]

@est3inb3rg that's just your youthful emotions talking. Kids these days feel the same way about music that they listen to.

[est3inb3rg]

@fredmandela im 22

[AcademyAwardsPerson]

Is it me or is this song always used in trailers for crappy comedies? The latest one: How Do You Know?

[JakeVhabae]

Can anyone help me out with tabs/chords of the way he plays the song HERE?

[mickleem]

This was May 1996...just after the release of his greatest hits album..yes he is brilliant..

[91FroSt91]

That song always makes me happy .. and gives me shivers .. and gives me this amazing feeling of Nostalgia. Idk how to explain what it does to me, it's just amazing how it makes every inch of my body shiver in excitement and admiration.

I wish more music like that existed nowadays. Been trying to know the name of that song for ages .. till I finally found out about it now and I couldn't believe that it was Townshend who made it .__.

Thanks so much for uploading this :)

[TooCooL4RE]

God bless the old days ,, i wish with all my heart that i can go back in time ,, because guys the more we go ahead the more we will Suffer in this life , and for those who think's that their living the dream it's just an illusion you will be shocked when it's over ,, Believe me ,, GREAT SONG

[therealfactor]

I'm more of a Taylor guy myself, but that is a beautiful Gibson he's holding. Ha. Maybe just cause he's holding it?

[camcoop25]

@therealfactor

Ah, you prefer James Taylor because you'd rather be bored when you listen to music?

[therealfactor]

@camcoop25 ...wow. Type "Taylor" into google and click "I'm feeling Lucky", then type "Gibson" into google and click the same. Please, please, please don't comment on music when you obviously know nothing about it. Why on earth would you display that you're a complete moron in a public domain?

[camcoop25]

@therealfactor

Ah, gotcha... Thank Christ, for a minute there, I thought you were a James Taylor fan.

Nonetheless, a knowledge of acoustic guitars has little to do with knowing nothing about music. I am pretty sure Vladamir Horowitz would not have had a familiarity with the different guitar models on offer.

[kingdingle]

I've always loved his voice...sings from down deep...nice soul.

[xxElite94xx]

22 people left the door closed. haha you guys should really watch my cover of this song! pleasee

[RefinnejLincoln]

I heart him- so gifted and talented- -3

[RefinnejLincoln]

Pete can sing! His harmony voice is key to our WHO sound!

He is able to sing all harmony parts amazingly well.

Just listen to ' fragments '......

[llsakuragill]

Great song...suited for almost every movie

I just love this song!

[DENNYROOHOO]

His guitar has a mostache

[accadaccasuperstar]

which 21 dickheads disliked this quality?

[allaboutandrew]

Pete wrote this song from the viewpoint of God, not lover.

[danning1]

@allaboutandrew Are you sure? I thought he wrote it about Meher Baba.

[allaboutandrew]

@danning1 nope, it's from the viewpoint of god.

[SuperCarrie17]

Speaker of a generation and others ahead.... also a kickass guitar player

[cott1979]

Great song! He seems to age like wine. I thought he nailed this live version better than in the 80s.

[MrJsmith8]

Haha right at the end where's he's talking about who the bass player belongs to, he ends up saying he belongs to Annie Maria, which is the woman in a film called 'Dan in real life'. And 'Dan' the character plays this song to her during the film. haha touch!

[GrindyStone]

Epic stuff.

[240ups]

I'm doing my "NA NA NA NA' dance to all of those rock snob jocks who slammed this song when it came out! I saw a classic the first time.  where do I collect my royalties, EHHH!?
