Non smetterò mai di ringraziare quest'uomo per tutte le maravigliose emozioni che mi regala fin da quando ero poco più di un ragazzino ....grazie Pete...sei il più grande genio musicale del novecento.
Pete Townshend is so musically intelligent without a doubt! Mary is such a beautiful classic with lots of rhythm improvised as only Pete can play it to us!
I have been a fan of Pete since my older brother got the Quadrophenia album.....1st record I ever bought was Odds& Sods, never looked back....he has a tremendous ablity to convey emotion with his lyrics, guitar, voice and songs.....he also had profound genre diversity, writing songs from hard rock, to pop, dance, blues, country, & broadway that many of his contemporaries didn't attempt.....an integrel part of my life, for sure!
Ambi dexterity and versatility a guitar virtuoso and consummate composer artist akin to french poet Guillaume de Machaut. Like the Ashmolean guitar Cartouche with rose leaf embellishment. Jazz aficionado tout saxophonist Johnny Hodges. Cheers Sir and colleagues.
The Federation Conversation The Who did record this song in early 1971, during the Lifehouse session, but after the album was abandoned, so was the recording of Mary.
i'd cut my head off and both my arms , if i could sing like Pete does here , and play that fiddle like only he can ... - if i could write music like him and stories , of our lives ... day and nights ...... i doubt that he knows , understands , how much he has GIVEN me - and millions of others ( probably mostly guys , but i'm 'spreading the word' to ladies-of-my-heart ... ) - dreams and hopes and rages & strength to fight for them , ,,, - within/together with The Who , as well as by himself and/or with his family and friends - i find it hard to imagine 'a World' without Pete Townshend .... " Thank You !! " doesn't really do it credit
Huh. I've never thought of Pinball Wizard being about Townshend; it was about Tommy. But yes, Pete always had and still does have a wonderful ability to play triplets. In my opinion is less a guitar wizard and more a musical or lyrical wizard.
The Who's version of this, I'm thinking, would sound pretty close to the demo version, like their version of Time Is Passing did. The Who did actually record it, but the version is lost to history at the moment.

Been listening to Pete Townshend since I was a teenager. now I'm 51 & still listening. He makes my world a better place with songs such as this.
Only Pete Townshend can sit down and get serious. Greatest rhythm guitarist ever.
And the man understands, among MANY things, rock acoustic guitar.
One of my favourite musicians of all time. Lovely man.
Ever since I bought "Scoop" decades ago, I've loved this song.......
same
isn't Scoop the greatest and weirdest and just interesting. I think I got my copy in 1993 or thereabouts.
And Politician :-)
One of his best songs. This performance is perfect.
i love the chord change after "mary, you are everything a man could want." what a killer chord.
The song is brilliant and this performance is impeccable. he is a wizard on that guitar.
Such tremendous & rare emotion from a guitar
I can listen to Pete play acoustic all day...
and all night too.
Blooming' brilliant! One of Pete's lesser known sublime classics.
his guitar playing is mesmerizing-
Man what a gem!
Wow!! This is the great man at his very best here!! I love this track...Great song Great voice.. The best songman ever!!

A jewel
Beautiful song. I have always loved Pete.

Have to admit, its one of my fav Lifehouse tunes. So nice and sweet in Pete's demo, just beautiful. Nice to hear it again.
one of my favorite deep cuts
Can you imagine having literally THOUSAND'S of songs in your catalog and remembering EVERY one of them? Oh and being near deaf too.
Great acoustic jam
Love that tone from that jumbo 👍
Incredible command of the instrument.
I love Pete, in the most hetro way. A veritable genius of monumental proportions. His music always moves me.
Theres only 'ONE' talented Pete Townshend !!
one of the greatest artists of our times......incredible.....what a singer....(and guitar player, not needed to be said)
So so great.
What a great song!
Fantastic song.
A real gem from Scoop.
Genius can't wait to see THE WHO one last time in Toronto, Sept 2019!!
Just such spellbinding acoustic playing from about 2:30 - 4:00 especially.
You are awesome. You’ve always been favorite
Beautiful. As it should be.
Definitely one of his best - and least appreciated - songs.
The greatest
Wandeful song! Long life Pete Townshend. ¡"Genious"!
This is one of Pete's greatest songs. I love it. I have actually played and recorded this song.
Townshend always knew what he did well and he did it.
I just love this song! Thanks for posting!
Phenomenal 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
Scoop is awesome!
Holy shit, this is amazing.
Has there ever been a better performer? I'd like to know who.
Who the fuck are you? :)
Justin Bieber DUH.
@@ge2623 NOW that's freaking funny 😂
thank you so much for uploading this! i love the demo of this, and seeing it live is amazing
Glad I saw them (Who) 2 times in 2 years about 2 years ago! haha!
unreal!!!!!
3.35 Townshend /Palmer mutual esteem don't miss it, it's fleeting!
Those harmonics look to have carried into the acoustic section of Who Are You.
Bravo! PT! P!T!
What a gamer. Maybe the best.

He aqui el mejor de Todos.
The Who recorded this song in 1971, for the Who s' Next /Lifehouse album. Sadly the tapes were ruined or lost.
A true talent
I could imagine The Who really rocking out at 1:25, if this were ever a Who song. Pity Townshend favours the quieter stuff.
The Federation Conversation The Who did record this song in early 1971, during the Lifehouse session, but after the album was abandoned, so was the recording of Mary.
Can't imagine the Who doing this as well as Pete solo. This is one in particular that his soft voice and acoustic lead works exceptionally well on
@@lapelcelery42 I think The Who could have done it in the style of Behind Blue Eyes 🙂
Best right hand in Rock
Pete's a fantastic musician and song writer. His demos are better than most band's albums. (even The Who's)-IMO
i'd cut my head off and both my arms , if i could sing like Pete does here , and play that fiddle like only he can ... - if i could write music like him and stories , of our lives ... day and nights ......
i doubt that he knows , understands , how much he has GIVEN me - and millions of others ( probably mostly guys , but i'm 'spreading the word' to ladies-of-my-heart ... ) - dreams and hopes and rages & strength to fight for them , ,,, - within/together with The Who , as well as by himself and/or with his family and friends - i find it hard to imagine 'a World' without Pete Townshend ....
" Thank You !! " doesn't really do it credit
If you did all that without a head, how would anyone recognize you?
TOWNSHEND. ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.
That's Ray and Dave Davies nephew on second guitar.
had no idea way cool 😎
He's a gui-tar wizard, there has to be a twist. A gui-tar wizard's got such a supple wrist.
Huh. I've never thought of Pinball Wizard being about Townshend; it was about Tommy. But yes, Pete always had and still does have a wonderful ability to play triplets. In my opinion is less a guitar wizard and more a musical or lyrical wizard.

Still haven't been able to confirm if The Who ever recorded this song in the studio during the recording of Lifehouse/Who's Next.
Pete can sing this to me anyday. 😉
the guy's name is phil palmer..
The James May looking backing guitarist?
I am the Mary he wrote about.
Ok as you wish
Who is the other guitarist? Anyone please.
Checkout Greyhound Girl.
Phil Palmer on 2nd guitar?
mooding the world,mooding the consciencious.........i
Love his solo work away from The Who.
It was inevitable he would carry on being a creative genius.
If it’s in your genes, you just do it.
James May playing much better guitar than a car sounds on piano
I sing this to my wife “ Marnie”
Who else is playing guitar?
floor analogy i adore...
ufffffff too much for my ears.............simplemind is Mr.TOWSHEND
dreadful song writer....
Are you?
Never mind. I'm sure you're a very good milkman
well fuck off then Kevy
You are probably a dreadful awful person touche
unreal!!!!
