4.0 out of 5 stars Classic live album by Pete Townshend, November 10, 2006

By	Wayne Klein "If at first the idea is not absu... (My Little Blue Window, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars pete townshend live at brixton, January 21, 2007

By	Rudolf B. Myers - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, February 7, 2010

By	Sssan "Book hound" (Bay Area, California) - See all my reviews

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!
