This was 1st Played on a 400 Acre Farm, just outside "Woodstock" New York in '69. BUT, rose to the top again in the '70's when Elton John used it on an Album.
Dear Alan,your comment was correct.I dug out my American Guitars of the50's book and the ES355 SV is a stereo model with Varitone which can select 6preset tonal settings.It proved unpopular with players and was often disconnected,also note the split diamond on the headstock.I did not know this I copied it from my book.Good knowledge by you though.
Yeah, both the 345 and 355 have the Varitone switch...and I do have a fair knowledge of Gibson guitars...and I own several myself...this will give you an idea... www.pinterest.com/alanjankowski/guitars-i-own/
This is not a live performance; neither the guitar nor the bass were plugged in. Besides, there is a second guitar that plays with distortion at 0:25 over the chords that Pete is strumming on his guitar
Keith Moon makes me laugh when Roger starts singing!

Townshend is amazing, Entwhistle and daltrey are also awesome, but moon, oh moon

Awesome band and I wonder if Pete smashed that Gibson 335 in a later gig. I heard his roadies just kept gluing his guitars back together!
Finally someone got it right
Beast song
Nice one
Pretty good at 1.25x speed.
It's unusual to see Pete with a Gibson ES-335...cool vid..
+Alan Jankowski Dear Alan,I was going to say that.
I can't really tell the differance but its still not Pete's normal choice.
I thought the 355 had the Vari-Tone, no?

Where is this from? 1969 seems kind of late for black and white.
Which year was this videoed?
This is similar to the song Plankton sang about Squidward.
The twist? That was inspired by this! Whatta tweest!
THATS WHY I CAME TO THIS VIDEO THIS DUDE SURE PLAYS A NEAT CLARINET

I prefer the Ellton John version
The only good thing in Tommy
Yute Hube eh that is pretty good. I will admit the central plot synopsis of the musical is actually incredible
