Awesome tune! For me that song spoke volumes about the The Who and what made them so great. Townshend was every bit as good on the guitar as say Alvin Lee or Jimmy Page or Jeff Beck or Eric Clapton. But he had something they did not (not that there was really anything wrong with those guys) . . . he had economy. For a man that once said “we’d never let the music get in the way of our stage act” he never let guitar wanking get in the way of the music.
Hearing that song makes me want to break stuff. ;)
Townshend was quite a sloppy player, but he made it work.
