I remember watching this at the time and thinking, "This is why I love The Who." Best live band I've ever seen bar none. I've seen The Who so many times, 60s 70s 80s 90s 00s 10s 20s. Yeah I am fucking old now! Myself and my brother back in 1979 saw them play at Wembley Stadium with, in order of appearance, Nils Lofgren, AC/DC - original line up Bon Scott as singer, The Stranglers and then the boys headlined. That was August '79. In the November of' 79, myself and my brother, again, actually took the Friday Night train down to Brighton at 5:15pm as we were going to see them play at the Brighton Centre. Fucking awesome pissed up, Dexy'ed up absolute mental weekend. Loved every moment of it! Oh and we're from Shepherds Bush too.

Saw them the year before at Worthing Assembly Rooms (capacity 500) in West Sussex. School was alive with rumours of an unpublicised gig (which they sometimes did). The street was full but I got inside and up to the front. Moonie was on fire. Daltrey lost a mike in the crowd. Townsend tore his fingers doing the windmill and blood down his white jumpsuit. The loudest gig Ive been to I think. Deaf for a week. And probably the best. Not bad for 50p.

It's funny. I've always felt that objectively, Pete is the better singer. And yet...I can't imagine wanting anyone other than Roger to be the primary lead singer of this incredible band, my all-time favorite in rock. What he _does_ with that voice is just masterful. He wreaks such powerful performances out of the voice he has, instead of pretending he's anything other than what he is. So, I love them both and just enjoy the differences. And then, when the two of them combine their voices with the Ox's in harmony, it's one of the most distinctive harmony sounds in rock, and the combination doesn't really sound immediately like any of their individual voices to me. Instantly recognizable, and so very richly textured. Heaven.

Soon after that you can hear Pete's guitar fade out and Pete's prerecorded solo continues as Pete stopped playing. Pete then went ballistic and Keith joined in.

Here's the real story behind this (referenced from pg 236 of the really, really great book "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere - The Complete Chronicle Of The Who 1958-1978")... this was taped on Wednesday October 3, 1973 for the special hour-long 500th edition of Top Of The Pops. The band assumed they would be miming but were actually expected to perform/record a non-mimed performance the day before because of a recent Musicians Union ruling (the band mimed it anyway for the representatives there and went through the motions as it were). Roger's vocals are live day-of the show with the rest miming the "newly recorded backing" (obviously) with the exception of the intro. Noel Edmunds introduces the band and at the fade Pete broke the neck on his Gretsch (the same one used on many Who recordings - it would be repaired and is still in Pete's possession today), kicked over some of Moon's set and then turned to flip-off show producer Robin Nash to demonstrate his view of the BBC as a whole (the previous day's event probably didn't help). The wigs being thrown about were lifted from the BBC prop department. As a result, this segment was cut from the transmission the following evening, but segments can be seen in the end credits for The Kids Are Alright. Pete's gestures here and Moon's behavior in the green room got the group a BBC lifetime ban (one that was lifted not long after a letter of apology was accepted).

It was Pete being angry at playing along to a track for one of the first times, and he felt insulted by the BBC announcers intro lines. So he was like "Hey, I'm Pete Townshend. Fuck this." and smashed stuff while the track kept playing to let the world know he wasn't fake [give or take].

Classic clip! But a few errors in both the intro by Noel Edmonds and in the comments here. This was recorded in October 1973, Edmonds states they haven't had a single out in 2 years, but they released both Join Together and Relay in 1972, reading number 9 and number 21 in the UK charts respectively. Also, although this is a backing track with live vocals (From both Daltrey & Townshend), Pete's guitar is also live for the intro (through the small combo amp in front of his stack) as he makes an absolute howler in the riff around 0.37, and can been seen at around 0.41 turning round and switching the amp off. The guitar he smashes up is a beautful Gretsch given to him by Joe Walsh and used on Who's Next and Quadrophenia (notably on Won't get fooled again). Luckily it just snapped in half and the neck was able to be repaired and reattached and he still uses it to this day.

@@loosilu Yes he used it a lot on the Who's Next album. It was/is a very temperamental guitar that would never stay in tune so was not used on stage. It was given to him by Joe Walsh of The Eagles. Pete was annoyed that they cut the song short so that was the reason for him kicking in the drum set and smashing the Gretsch (which seemed to fall apart very quickly!!)

4:04 Pete gets upset because the sound engineers on the show cut the power to his amp. That's why he gets angry, smashes up his guitar, and flips off the guys in the booth. I heard it was something about union rules that only vocals could be live on TOTP at the time. You can see him crank up the amp @ 3:22

They performed You Better You Bet in 1981 on TOTP, it's available on here, so they did get asked back.

Clare McCreesh only after the BBC reversed it's own ruling, though.
