Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
The advantage Pete Townshend has over many of his contemporaries is he's found nonmusical outlets for his creative urges. Engaged in publishing in his post-Who semi-retirement, the windmilling guitarist has returned to the stage infrequently, which may partially explain the energy he brings to this performance, a benefit for a treatment center for abused children. The two-disc collection features Townshend backed by a quintet on one disc and stretching out with Eddie Vedder and keyboardist Jon Carvin on remakes of "Magic Bus" and "Heart to Hang Onto" on the second disc. Townshend scatters a couple of unexpected covers (Canned Heat's droning "On the Road Again" and Dylan's "Girl From the North Country") and a few more obscure originals ("Now and Then," "Drowned") among the staples ("Anyway Anyhow Anywhere," "Let My Love Open the Door," "Won't Get Fooled Again"). The original art punk now approaches his material with a certain mature reserve, but he's consistently engaged and in fine voice. Here's one '60s hero who isn't treading the same worn path because he has no interest in arriving at the same old destination. --Steven Stolder

Starting with "On The Road Again", Canned Heat's old anthem to the troubadour life, Pete Townshend proves that's there's plenty left in his own tank. He charges through a crackling version of "Anyway,Anyhow,Anywhere", The Who's second single, and gives it a modern edge without sounding mawkish. The whole album is a real gem, but be warned, there are drawbacks. The biggest is that this NOT the complete concert - just cherry-picked highlights - but they're all pretty wonderful. The second, which some may find more off-putting, is that Pete's band has no drummer, so you get the sound of pre-programmed synthetic drums throughout. Some may find that hard to handle, others (like me) - no problem. Feet tapping stuff from a great artist and a great bloke. Buy it while you can.
