Everything everything everything. When Pete performs & he really finds hisw sweet spot, it's a spiritual experience listening to him. This performance in particular, there's a real longing in his voice & guitar. He's one of the greatest rhythm guitarists, & he really uses rhythm to drive the song & quicken your pulse. And has the tone of his voice ever been better? Perfection. We all have to leave this earth sometime, but I'm so glad I'm here at the same time as Pete. It is going to destroy me when he takes his leave. Pete , you've given me the eternal present over & over & over again. Thankyou.

Thank you very much, Johnny, your first paragraph in vibrant hommage to Pete is so in tune with how he delivers here and who he is, I feel, that it makes me shiver in the emotional continuity of watching and hearing him! I didn’t know this video, but I was born in 1953 _(now a strong 70er since “8 days a go”!),_ learnt bass in ‘69 and guitar later, so strong and exhilirating were the British and American rock, pop, hard-rock, etc. new music winds. At one time I was similarly awed and enjoyed by two of the “super-groups” that appeared in the wake of (the) Cream, with their twin pairs of front-stagers, a seriously gifted guitarist-main composer, on the side of that front stage, and a singer-performer extraordinaire extending his spectacular presence, as a huge living billboard for the group, and I couldn’t put one above the other, groupwise or singerwise _(I sing too, with “a voice”)._ Led Zeppelin and The Who were similarly *explosive* groups, with distinctly original and very exciting ‘material’/songs. I was primarily focused on those two Christ-like figures with a rare powerful “organ”, Robert Plant _(“on my left side, Ladies and Gentlemen!”)_ and Roger Daltrey _(“…”),_ but aware that their music, in both cases _(and quite a bit more so in The Who),_ came from the one-step-behind guitar man’s head and soul. During an unforgettable 1974 “hippie” 2-month trip in the States with my then music brother Louis Bertignac _(already amazingly gifted at 20),_ pack in the back, guitar case in hand, the most striking music memory among many was that time when, hosted by the gentlest of fellow guitar-player in Boulder, “Nash”, Louis and I launched on the intro’ of *“Tommy”*… and lead it on, both playing and singing… to the end of that masterpiece, some 40 minutes later, and what a grace it was!! This guy Pete’s, here, eternal ‘chef-d’œuvre’… _[where’s an emoticon for positive, inspiring “awe”?!]._ Truth be said, it was impossible for me not to attribute part of my awed & enthusiastic feelings to Daltrey. *He* was the spectacular ‘deaf, dumb and blond boy’ telling it all with incredible force! This clip here, which I’d never seen _(and got to because I’m hooked on the exhilarating Clapton/Beck ‘battle of giants’ on “Further on up the road”, which lead me, after 15 years of revisiting it, to want to know more about the venue),_ this clip *reveals* to me, close to “50 years after”, the sole amazing creator of “Tommy”, alone on stage, finding it in him to re-present a couple of emblematic ‘arias’ of that work in the naked sincerity and universal battling Eros/Thanatos, hope/despair emotions of the human condition. The words are his, the melody is his _(and the classical-applied-to-modernity opera-worth music, of course);_ they were masterfully amplified and envigoured by that brillant, light-catcher performer of a partner that Daltrey was, protecting Townshend from too much feedback light. At the time, I felt there was an underlining discrepancy between the heart-wrenching quality and episodes of the story and Daltrey’s in-control and powerful rendition. Today, at last, I can make sense of it all, give back fully to Pete’s what is due, and I’m awed again, but in a much more tender, touching/touched/‘touché!’ way, soul-to-soul with Peter Townshend, may he be eternally blessed!! 💫🙏🏻❤️

Pete is a composer far more than a musician. He says John Entwistle is truly a musician that he can't even begin to keep up with. Is there another guitar player so balanced between electric and acoustic, and yet can any of those hold a candle to him acoustically? I could be off base, my apologies, but all the great contemporary rock guitar players (Hendrix, SRV, Page, Clapton, EVH, Rhodes) except for Page are known as electric guitarists. Pete is fully both. But at Live at Leeds/Isle of Wight, Pete's quiet moments on his SG have something about them that remind me of Segovia and no other rock musician. And still, he impaled his hand on the whammy bar of his Strat not too terribly long ago...

It drives me nuts when I get the inevitable eye-roll from people when I mention Pete Townshend as one of my favorite guitarists. There's a lot more to what makes a guitarist great than shredding, speed or note-for-note perfection. To me it's more about feel and attitude, and man does Townshend ever have both. The aggression, the power of his playing, and the anthemic nature of some of his best songs combine to make him a truly unique guitarist and composer.

"Some people die by the razor, some people die by the knife. In the movies they die by the laser. Some people die by the wife. Some people die by the shotgun. Some people get lost in a maze. Some people think it's a whole lotta fun gettin' high, gettin' lost in a haze, I just wanna drown in your love." Isn't that what we all want in the end? Whether it's a girl or love for the God that put you into existence? Don't Get Fooled Again was especially powerful. Read the story of how that was inspired. Crazy. "Give us your children, We want to liberate your children!"

For me, these are some of the best versions of each of these songs. I recall a magazine music critic saying the same when this came out. He said they were some of Townshend's best work. I also recall a contemporary musician (his name escapes me) who said he based his rhythm guitar style not just on Townshend's in general, but on this specific performance. The acoustic solo on Drowned is just magnificent. What I love about this is the clean, pure sound, along with the emotion. In other versions, Townshend's playing is either not quite so clean, or his vocals are not as heartfelt. One negative here is that the Won't Get Fooled Again is edited near the end -- the version off of the LP is either unedited or edited differently, and I prefer it. Too bad this concert is so obscure -- it is a classic performance that probably only a handful of Who fans will ever hear.

The Secret Policeman's Balls featured some of the best live musical performances in history. I have never seen a better performance of "Pinball Wizard" than this one. Absolutely phenomenal. The same can be said for future Balls. The musical performances at "The Secret Policeman's Other Ball" are just as amazing. Sting was nothing short of excellent with his performances of "Roxanne" and "Message in a Bottle". I am blown away every time I see Bob Geldof's excellent performance of "I Don't Like Mondays". I must mention Donovan as well. I always felt he was an excellent singer and performer and he showed that at the "other Ball". I have the soundtrack album for the "Other Ball". I wish soundtrack albums for the other Balls were available. The Balls had great comedy sketches, but the music is nothing short of classic.

I definitely remember the album. These three tracks were the only ones I would listen to. The story behind this performance is after Pete played the first two songs, he went backstage to wait for his third song, which actually HE was supposedto be the 'Guest" on the John Williams set and was waiting for his re-entrance. The performers played the concert for free, but the promoters gave little gifts to them as a token of their appreciation. Well after the set, Pete went backstage and found his, which was a bottle of brandy (I may be wrong but I think it was a bottle of Remy Martin). Well, those who know Pete of the late 70's and early 80's can guess what happens next (and for those who don't - He drank nearly the whole bottle backstage) and was a little snockered by the time he came out for Won't Get Fooled Again. He even admitted latter that he did fall asleep during the song for a couple of seconds!

Love Pete, but why have guitar genius like John Williams there to do nothing and not be heard? What a waste and Rock star hubris.

I wonder if this was Pete's first public performance after Keith died? The Concert for Kampuchea wasn't until December of 1979. That was with The Who.

I want to know what him and Jerry Garcia got up to before the Dead played Musikladen in 82 (Pete comes out looking a little rough and jams on Not Fade Away). Would have been an interesring conversation.

I prefer hearing both versions. Pete had more emotion. Roger has more anger. I love both.
