Pete gave an interview once where he said he was blacked out drunk and doesn't even remember this performance.

I played this for a coworker named Theresa and she flat out just didn’t like it. I asked her why and she said it was “weird sounding”.

I like the music and how he sings the lyrics. Not counting bearing his thoughts after he’d sobered up ….a bit

I first saw her in Fringe and she definitely has some sort of animal magnetism about her. She looks yummy too.

The only DJ that played this song regularly was the late Scott Muni on 102.7 WNEW, New York City in the early to mid eighties!

It’s one thing to know how to play the guitar, sing, and write. But to write, sing, and play like like this (and not to mention all of Pete’s other work) is something on a whole different level. Beyond pro.

I never have heard any live performance by anyone which compares to this. It's a Spiritual gem, and it highlights Townshend's Spiritual walk- as well as his superlative rhythmic sensibilities, his unparalleled songwriting and his great talent as a performer. Impassioned!

Stuff your shredders and your jazz fusion bores. Both Page and Townsend are hard to beat for the dynamics, drama and passion of playing guitar. What are you trying to achieve with a plank of wood and 6 strings? It is to move people. Guitar playing is not an Olympic Sport.

I remember I bought the first Secret policeman’s ball on cassette way back in 1979. What a gem finding this song on that recording.
