Hope you enjoy.
Townsend was so animated, Daltry so young.
(Good version, i prefer later iterations with the electric violin).
For later.

I didn’t know it at the time, but Who’s Next changed how I listen to music.
Thanks Columbia Record Club. 🙂
Never heard of it. Like that tune “Teenage Wasteland” instead.
Out there in the news, I fight for my views-PJ
I get my back into my campaigning
I don't need to fight to prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahDon't try, don't raise your eyeMelania, take my hand, we'll travel 'cross the land
It's only media wasteland
Ignore the ire and don't look past the lawfare
The red wave is here, the disenfranchised ones are near
Let's get together and beat them back with flairMedia wasteland, it's only Media wasteland
Media wasteland, oh, yeah
Media wasteland
They're all wasted
Thanks for posting, great music from a great era.
Townshend with that Hiwatt backline, 3 heads and 6 cabinets. I had a single 1975 Hiwatt 100 watt amp, a DR103, it could deafen humans and kill small animals. I’ve sold all my gear, but if I could have one amp back, it would be that Hiwatt.
One of my very favorite R&R songs of all time. I once saw a band at a local music festival play this. We were about to leave, but then I heard Baba being played. Turned around and went back to watch. It was going great until they got to the part with Daltey playing the harmonica. They stopped and said, “ok, that’s all we know.” Played some other song after that. Most of the crowd, like us, left.
Folks, if you don’t know how to play a whole song, don’t cover it publicly until you get it down. That was so hard. They showed such promise then let their audience down like we had just jumped off a cliff together.
