Thanks for sharing — never heard this version nor had I heard of Leslie West. I liked it and his solo really stands out especially in the left channel as I’m about 80% deaf in that ear but his sound leapt out of my headphones in a clear, distinct manner. Merry Christmas!
“True Who aficionados, though, know the rest of the story where this song is concerned, and are often just as fond of the original version of the song, which the Who’s Next version wasn’t.”
Sorry, but the grammar there is atrocious.
Here’s Leslie West playing with The Who on a great cover from the same sessions.
