Pete Townshend / The Who - Teenage Wasteland

If you've come here to say "Oooh this is Baba O'Riley, you're an idiot", press Alt-F4 now. I've set up a script on this page that'll write the comment for you.

Get the hint? No? Okay. THIS IS NOT BABA O'RILEY. It shares some of the lyrics, that's about it. Coming here and telling me I know nothing about The Who is utterly ridiculous, because I KNOW I'm right. Cocky? No, I'm just right.

Pete Townshend playing 'Teenage Wasteland', originally supposed to be on the album "Lifehouse" which evolved into "Who's Next".

This concert was performed at Sadler's Wells, February 25/26th, 2000. The whole performance (containing a lot of Lifehouse's songs) can be bought on DVD from his website.

Here's some more from that concert:

you wrote the Who name and Teenage Wasteland to attract people to listen this, no way, I clikled to the song I want to listen not to this fake one

[Tranchera]

@benitoembuto The Who bit might be slightly misleading, but I figured its close ties to Who's Next made it worth putting there. And no, the Teenage Wasteland bit is completely accurate. If you don't know the name of the song you're looking up, you deserve to come across inaccurate results. I don't google Mozart and get angry when I don't get Chopin.

So my question is: Is this a Pete Townsend song or a Who song? The song never made it on a Who album (Who's next) even though that was the original intention. And as far as I know, the Who never performed this song. So I'm not coming here to say this is Baba O'riley, but I would say that it's not a Who song. Pete has many recorded songs that are not Who songs. Thoughts?

[Tranchera]

@64eski It's a Pete Townshend song, but considering the close ties to Who's Next and Lifehouse and the Who, I figured I'd just put their name in the title anyway. And I uploaded a few other songs from that concert at the same time and they were all Who songs.

@dablueman21 He's said it a thousand times, Baba O'Riley is the Who's Next version. This - is something different.

@drdoomdaniel actually the Lifehouse is original. There's no original cause Pete reated TWO songs, totally differents, not just in melodies, but in lyrics too. and some people still mistake. i hope you all stop at an moment and listen to lifehouse

[rossi5010]

@benitoembuto dude wait for it to come on it's an 8 minute vid.

[fontanalu]

I dont`t care about who knows more about The Who, if it is Baba O`Riley or Teenage Wasteland. Life (and Lifehouse) is not a contest. I have this dvd and it is the most touching masterpiece of music/performance/lyrics and a mature Pete. I strongly recomend it for whooligans and juniores and everyone with a heart to listen to that message. Just join together in the band or not.

[RogellParadox]

Finally another version of Teenage Wasteland(only heard the original and the demo) xDDd

I heard Townshend and Glitter were doing a duet together------------JUMPING OFF A CLIFF<AND APOLOGISING TO ALL THE KIDS ON THE WAY DOWN.
