It just goes to show how great Pete is as a composer when you hear a great arrangement like this. Simon of course is spectacular. When is he not?

PETE TOWNSHEND IS a musical genius

I was at this show! :) A bunch of the "professional" musicians were with The Who on the 1989 Tour which was with Townshend on the Deep End shows back in 1985.

There's two orchestras playing here actually. Simon and the OTHER orchestra. I would have given my left nut to see this live! Proof in point that Pete Townsend wrote a masterpiece in the seventies that stands the test of time. Tommy and Quadrophenia are the greatest rock operas ever to grace our ears.

What makes Simon great is his ability to be both melodic and technical at the same time. Plenty of great drummers out there, but few are both.

Simon Phillips is probably the best drummer ever! He can turn any song into music-magic! He is also a composer, sound-engineer, peak-performer, and always has "super sounding drums", without any "muffling"! I never heard it better! Do you? Let me know! Cheers, 🌀🙏

Every person on this stage is amazing! But credit Michael Kamen for the orchestral arrangement and conducting. A genius whom we lost way too soon.❤️

The first time I saw The Who was at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, in 1978. It was right after Keith passed away. Kenny Smith drummed. The band came out, all dressed in Union Jack coats. The first song they played was Substitute. I stood on my chair and screamed for the whole 3 hour-plus set. Tommy can ya hear me? Can ya? Can ya?

Not to mention the girl on percussion - wow!

I've always said if Townsend knew more than 3 chords (speaking figuratively as rock is based on a 1-4-5 three chord progression) he'd be fucking Beethoven. Stuff like this just proves how great of a composer he is. Add to that his lyrics, and he's a songwriting genius 2md to none.

Pete did great things with unexpected modulations very early on [see "Pictures of Lily] , and created some very unique guitar voicings. If not Beethoven, he certainly used as many chords as Purcell ever did.
