[@andzwe]

This is one of the post Keith Moon songs that worked out well, also because it actually needed straight forward drums. It might as well have been a Townshend solo album track though, unlike other Who songs he sang.

[@mccartney7108]

andzwe you better you bet wasn’t bad but yeah it sounds like pete’s solo stuff

[@ViscountVile]

It's sometimes said that it's not really a 'Who song' because it's so uncharacteristic, but I'd say that being so different is part of what makes it great! And isn't it unrepresentative of Pete's solo material too? Incidentally, Pete said at a Who gig I saw in London a few years ago that there's a version they recorded with an excellent lead vocal from Roger. He thought this deserved to be heard one day.

[@mikenix1193]

He was my hero, and mentor

[@davidanania5618]

andzwe, funny, I just posted about how the chord progression in the verse and chorus, although in a different key, is the same as for "Give Blood"...so, a few years, a key change and a tempo boost later, it kind of became a Townsend solo track.

[@endokrin7897]

Totally.. except The SOUND of the drums could have been a little fatter for my liking. Some people hate on Kenney as a bad Keith Moon replacement... but I think The Who's songs from the 80s were 'victims' of the 1980s themselves: thin drums. If you were lucky to get real drums at all. But yes, straightfoward drums are definitely what this song needs. I would just prefer a bit thicker SOUND, is all. 👍

[@qmto]

Crazy how a clean shaven early 80s Pete looks younger than he did in all of the 70s.

Though never being a big Who fan, this particular track would be one of my few favourites of them, particularly from their final two [80's] album releases with Kenny Jones. I've often wondered how this tune would have sounded had Keith still been alive on it ... I think many of the songs from those two albums _(Face Dances_ and _It's Hard)_ not only represented some of the very best evolutionary process towards a more mature-sounding Who, but essentially, captured the very essence of just 'who' they really are.
