The ultimate tortured artist. A musical genius...

wow from 2024

The show is amazing! Beautifully written and acted. Now, this cover form one of my favorite band and sung by one my favorite singer, perfect. Two snaps and a whoooo!

Fkn awesome

Eddie Vedder just now did a very similiar cover of this song. Pete Townsends version is so much better, but because Eddie Vedder is Eddie Vedder, his version is getting so much more airplay. It's like he stole PT's interpretation of the song.

This image of Pete almost looks like Carmy...

Is this version on an album? I can only find his live version on iTunes

Which version of this? I want to buy it.

I wanted to hate this but it's actually good 😂

Who is here after the Eddie Vedder studio version dropped?

A total masterpiece. Best cover by anyone anywhere.

Hey Dave, wake up. It's Pete. I'm here with Dave Gilmour and we can't figure out the tuning. If there's a better story I'd like to hear it.

Great song to bad he is into kiddy po-n

How can I buy this cover? I LOVE it! I went to the ITunes Store but this version is not there for purchase. How can I buy it?

How do I buy this version? I just went to the ITunes Store, and they only have a “Live” version. I want to buy THIS version. I LOVE it!

i listened again at half speed. prophetic.

I like English Beats version a lot better.

Sooooo good!

It’s extremely rare for me to rally like a “remake” from another artist. But this FEELs like a totally different song. 2 big thumbs up. I can enjoy both songs for 2 different reasons and moods!

Pete is one of the best composers of all time and he did a great heartfelt rendition of this great English Beat song. Nobody strums better chords than Townshend. The album Beat Service is a great album, as well.

Horrible cover job.If your a rock superstar and can't do better than the original Leave it alone

Pete was getting old when he released this in 1983 he just turned 37. Pete came out in 1980 and found when he was chatting up young men in King’s Road in London that no one knew who he was or had heard of The Who. He’d introduce himself and they’d say ‘Who the fuck are you?’

Give Pete his flowers for this one. He took a song he didn’t write and made it utterly his own. As great as the original is (and it’s one of my favorites), Pete beats it with an acoustic guitar, bass, and piano. Makes it feel it even more resolute and desperate at once. A lesson in personalization

One of the best versions of one my favorite songs. Townshend is simply amazing. Wish he’d come back to NYC and play some !

Can’t find a better man

Townshend is so far ahead as an artist, we're yet to catch up to realize how great he is.

Unique version like it/also love the beat 1

Has always been one of my Favs, wait that’s every Who song😮

The Tune Is Dope. Pete's remake is Dope. Just beautiful . Brings a tear to my eye. Nuff Said.

That’s great to know this 🙌🏻

Pete Townsend was so generous in his respect for other great songs. I love this cover. But I also heard him say that ABBA's SOS was the most perfect pop song, which of their less known songs is just devine.

Can you imagine, if in some crazy alternate universe, you wrote a song that Pete Townshend wanted to cover? That would be like Thomas Edison asking your opinion on how to invent the lightbulb.

Did this guy get busted for kiddi porn?

Pete plays them jumbo Gibson acoustics. J-200? Great sounding guitars. In the hands of a virtuoso!

Townsend is a musician from stem to stern.. he fits in to the power category.. hes magnificent as musicians go

Speaks volumes about how good the beat were

That bass line....lush

Un creador hace de algo que no es suyo ,algo propio. .Este cover esel mejor cover .Solo este genial músico lo hce posible.

nothing I say will top these comments, I'll save it for later

I read a story that Pete Townsend called Dave Wakeling on the phone for details on his guitar part. Wakeling hung up on him thinking it was a prank call. Leter Pete was successful phoning Dave. Pete's cover is stunning.

This an amazing take on a classic some. Good on ya Pete.

Leave too Pete to Take a Song like "Save it for Later" That's is No Doubt Influenced By His style of Music 🎶 & Make Thee Original Sound Better! Than thee Artist who wrote it! Fantastic Arrangement. "Superb Bravo"

Perfect....in every way possible!......

Wow... that's some band he had for this album... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_End_Live!

Absolutely beautiful

I remember listening to the story when Pete Townsend. Call dave because pete couldn't work out a certain guitar chord progression, Dave didn't, at first believed it was the lendgend himself

The best 80s cover IMO

My favourite Beat song, Pete nails it

One of the most underrated artist ever!

I Love This Song!!🎧 💖🍸
