Greatest song~writer that has ever lived.

It’s kinda Zappaesque.

Reduces the rest of the Who to the level of session men.

Much better than the WHO’s version

Sounds like a Rolling Stones song. A good one.

Pete's nod to the Small Faces, always assumed it was and he confirmed it to me when I interview him for my Ronnie Lane documentary, never heard the demo before just great

Even if you know the back story of the song's inspiration, it's a thoroughly mediocre tune, with godawful lyrics. A rare misfire by the band.

One of your best eber live concerts dear friend as before I even Idolized you my male & female friend yes ano (cz) Yin & Yang- erdang with love stillness gratefull and caring 4For you as I shed down one baby's tear drop into the infinite Ocean Do not worry all shall be well but naturally you are conscious of it although we know nothing is everything one of my free donation hand painted display is almost done 4For Teenage Cancer Trust We do care and share 4For FREE @royvzadel🙏🎨🖼🏡👼👨‍🍳🐦🦢💙💟❤🤗

Great bass playing by John !!!

One recognized rare recording archival nature, conceptual art derive from inner recesses of your mind, subliminal messages intuitive perception very interesting chord progressions. Cheers Sir Peter and colleagues

My sister was a student at Syracuse at the time. I was in eight grade and she surprised me with tickets to the show. I was really into The Who at the time and had recently started playing the guitar. Pete was my hero and a huge influence on my learning to play. This was my first concert and that weekend I also got a taste of college life as I stayed in my sister’s dorm room. Great memories. What a weekend that was.

A perfect acoustic companion to Pete's solo orchestral rendition of a demo of this tune from Another Scoop (1987).

Face Dances COMES ALIVE !!!

Why do we never get a Real Live WHO album like this ?

This is a companion piece to A Royal College of Art film school project that my father-in-law made a cameo appearance in.

Pete Townshend is a mere musical genius!

I dont get why some serious selfconfesed WHO fans are so hard judging Face Dances and Its Hard. Both are good and this song, could have been a hit, if released as a single.

Love it! Wish I could go through the tapes and put out a '79 box set. You may not have Moonie but KJ wasn't too bad on this tour and I can never have too much of the Ox.

I was there! We stood on our seats clapping the entire show. Security was tight, they weren't gonna take crap from anybody.

Sincere performance of a wonderful song.

This Cockney accent suits The Who better than the quasi-Yankee accent in "Won't Get Fooled Again".

I’m not one for praise however this song along with One Life’s enough that we’re from It’s Hard album are truly very underrated songs The Who were obviously very influential on The Jam with Paul Wellar who took the genre of mod music to another level. However in my humble opinion looking at the release of this in the early eighties it looks like The Who were taking a bow in music took a leaf out of the Jam in presentation and style.

Reminds me of walking my wife's uncles dogs around Skewen Dog track ( near Swansea) in the early 70's. Some dodgy things going on there !! Love the Who !!

Does anyone know the date of this performance? I don't think it's 1993 Psychoderelict tour. Maybe a solo show from mid/late 90s?

Its sounds like a tape cassette on my phone

Silver Fox!

I used to own a Japanese label 45 of this song purchased in Yokosuka, Japan in 1968. I had first heard the song on one of their local radio stations (not the demo but the actual single). The song has an obvious Japanese influence in it's production.

Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!

Pete s`demo is better. The Who s´ version lacks dynamic.

Magnificent! Gets me every time and puts me in a space

The first time we met you were a kennel maid, You gave me a tip I got me forecast paid, You were holding a greyhound in trap number one, Your white coat was shining in the afternoon sun. Now we're both together, We're never gonna break apart, no no, 'Cause we're a happy couple you and me, With a greyhound at either knee. I'll have ten shillings to win on Camera Flash, young man, What dog's that, it's a deuce, look at it. There was nothing in my life bigger than beer, There was nothing in my life bigger than beer, 'Ceptin' you, little darling, 'Ceptin' you, little darling, We're a happy couple you and me, With a greyhound at either knee. We go to the dog track on Saturday night, We put all our money on a dog that we like, A kiss and a cuddle, a hot meat pie, Two dollar tickets and a starry sky. There was nothing in my life bigger than beer, There was nothing in my life bigger than beer, 'Ceptin' you, little darling, 'Ceptin' you, little darling, We're a happy couple you and me, With a baby on either knee. Yes it's you little darling, Yes it's you little darling, Now it's you little darling, Now it's you. Girl, where's me wage packet ?????, Ah I'll put twenty-five knicker please on Gallop Printer, Oh, I hope the wife don't find out, Yes, it's sure to win, isn't it, Yes, I know, it's a good dog, I saw it run at White City, Just last week, broke the record, Gallop Printer, Nice dog, yes, lovely form, lovely buttocks.

The Who s' version is far superior !

Have you got any other cuts from this gig? it's fucking killer!

Love the drum fill at 1:55

fantastic version of 1982.i love those drums.

I was at this show, thanks Calvin, Kevin, Kurt and Joe for a fantastic road trip!

brillant version. I love this.

WHAT A GREAT JAM OF THIS CLASSIC AND I WAS THERE! ANY MORE SONGS FROM LEXINGTON 1980 SHOW OUT THERE?

Killer bass line...

This is a lovely version.

Powerful song. Was this song, submited for the Who By Numbers sessions ? Why The Who decided to pass it on ? Wonder who plays the drums ? Keith or Kenny ?

first comment ever on this video back in 2007.fantastic for starters.

absolutely incredible to find this uploaded. thank you so much - I get pissed off at how hard it is to find rare & unusual stuff and this gives me hope for the future.

who is this jerk allabout weybridge? get a clue, fool.

Just happened to pick this song while looking for studio version from Psychoderelict. I loved the 12 string guitar I think he's playing, and the piano. I really, really miss the bass guitar lead intro though that is not on this version. Leave it to Pete Townshend to capture the despairing aspects of a relationship, especially between a couple probably at least 2 decades apart. Fortunately for me, when I remarried a gal half my age 45 vs 22, I having suffered terribly from a divorce from an American white female, sought my refuge in the Philippines where I met my wife and we have a beautiful, but most importantly sweet beyond all belief daughter. And then when I was there in Philppines, I was also singing to myself another one of Pete's masterpieces: Slit Skirts. Specifically the lines: " and those unfit for marriage took their refuge in the oil" ( Off shore oil rigs) and "No one respects the flame quite like the fool who is badly burned." Only Pete Townshend can put such twisted emotions to music. Pure (vastly underrated) musical genius.

Hey, I love Endless Wire...

I agree It's Hard is really bad. I only like Athena, Eminence Front. I don't listen to the other songs. This version of 'steal my money' is great! Been a Who fan for decades.

I only heard this song on a b sides compilation not too long ago though I was always a fan of the Who, What a revelation it was and this demo much much more! So ahead of its time, This is where BLUR stole their schtick from!

Lovely buttocks !
