The Who-Substitute

Kinda ragged performance for them.

Interesting that Roger uses the lyric from the American single version on Atco records.

theres no bass solo

good catch... i didn't notice at first...

i think pete was cool from like 64 to 72 plus it just might be me but i like the who in the 60's and early 70's better

no bridge? its the best part

so theres really no need to play the whole 3+ minutes

Using that logic, there'd be no need for the average Ramones song to go over 30 seconds.

Haha good one

It's true there is nothing wrong with repeating lyrics; in fact sometimes the repetition of words can be considered artistic genius... but to be perfectly honest, in the case of Substitute, I like their late 60s early 70s version of it. It just feels shorter and sweeter. Same is the case with 'My Generation.' Both are great, but they're pop songs, and the Who have moved on to bigger and better things since. This is just my opinion though. Personally the late 60s early 70s Who era is my favorite.
