Embarking on a solo tour after "White City" this album captures Pete and his top notch band performing live in Brixton, England. The CD has been remastered with bonus tracks "Magic Bus" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" both terrific additions to the orignal release. The album features Townshend covering material from throughout his career with The Who with two tracks from his albums "Empty Glass" and "All The Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes". There is also a spirited take on the English Beat's "Save It For Later" (the studio version of the song shows up as a bonus track on the remastered "White City").

The CD has been reissued exactly as the original vinyl edition was--with no lyric sheet or notes about the album beyond credits. I mention this because the sticker on the original release misleading suggests that there is a lyric booklet inside. There isn't. This is the only place to get Pete's classic song "After the Fire" which he gave to Roger Daltry to record for his solo album "Under A Raging Moon". While I like Daltry's version Pete's version is the definitive one for me.

David Gilmour plays as a guest guitarist and lets rip on "I Put a Spell on You". Still a terrific album but I had hoped for some sleeve notes discussing the genesis of the concert, the performances, etc.

when they remastered this i wish they had included the complete concert with songs such as "i am an animal" from "Empty Glass" lulckily i taped the concert when it was televised, now if they would only release the DVD. David Gilmore appears as a guest on this album and does a fine job.

1. Barefootin'

2. After The Fire

3. Behind Blue Eyes

7. Save It For Later

8. Pinball Wizard

9. A Little Is Enough

10. Eyesight To The Blind

11. Magic Bus

12. Won't Get Fooled Again

Be sure to add this gem to your collection of other Pete Townshend CD's. You won't regret it !!

Even as a longtime fan of The Who, I was blown away when I first heard this album. Though he's written some great rock tunes and is a wizard on guitar I had never thought highly of Townshend's rather limited vocal range.

On this concert album however Pete brings these songs to life in a way that only the person who wrote them could. As for the covers, Pete's take on "I Put A Spell On You" alone is worth the price of the album! Simply amazing!

Pete in top form here,very underrated cd .My only bad thing to say about this cd is that it has no listing of the musicians on it.

I have always been a fan of The Who, and therefore, of their bandmates' solo efforts. I had this vynil for a while, and eventually decided to get the CD as well. Truth of the matter, there's nothing new or extraordinarily different in the selections presented herein, so if you like the songs, Pete's singing and the acoustic atmosphere, just go for it!!! It's so cheap they must have gone crazy or something... Why 4 stars? Mix sounds too much like the vynil!

townshend can truely hold his own,when it comes to preforming his own material or the who's
