“And Horton bent down, he bent down to the ground. And what was it; oh what did he hear? Why it was sound of the drums and thrums and the guitar did he hear! The drums and strums and voices so clear! The sound of Keith Moon and Pete Townsend did he hear! “The Kids are Alright” and “Baba O’Reily” did did sound, and it felt like Horton could hear the sound “My Generation” through the background! He knew that he knew, deep down in his heart, that this motley, hotly debated sound was all just the start! Oh he had to hear more, and his heart it did soar. What a wondrous, thunderous, trip of a sound, Horton knew he would tour this band all around. He picked up the flower puff, keeping it close and secure, and with that, he took this group out on the road to tour!”

The Who, "Baba O'Riley (Original Demo)"

I am not the biggest Who fan in the world or, possibly, even on my block. I've grown to intensely dislike their "rock operas" and lean, on the occasion when I do listen to them, heavily toward their early spiky singles and the Mod madness of The Who Sell Out. Who's Next was inescapable in the '70s, and while I enjoyed it then, I have happily not listened to it in its entirety since college.

So when the 11-disc Super Deluxe edition of Who's Next : Life House (the latter half referring to the broken project whose remnants comprise the former half) was released in September, I may not have been its target audience.

That said, this instrumental demo for one of the Classic Rock pillars this album spawned is quite intriguing, both because it doesn't have Roger Daltrey on it, never my favorite singer, and because one can hear all the little moving parts that Pete Townshend crafted into this song, besotted, as well he should have been, by the music of Terry Riley into creating a careening Sufi whirl.

One of my all time favorite live moments, the crowd just going “Nah you’re not singing that. We are.”

Baba O'Riley - Tomorrow Never Knows - Grateful Dead w/ Steve Miller - 1992

[earhartsease]

and then one day during a Who tour in Europe, the beloved synth track starts bibbling but then instead of Pete Townshend shimmering his tambourine, there's a deep rumble and crashing, and up through the destroyed stage comes flying a giant mortar & pestle and the band finally breaks into Baba Yaga O'Riley and nothing is the same ever again

but until then
