    This show was filmed for the famous German TV series Rockpalast at MIDEM in Cannes on 29th January 1986. Pete Townshend’s Deep End were touring in support of Townshend’s solo concept album “White City: A Novel”. Several of the musicians that appeared on the album were featured in the line-up of the Deep End including Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour on lead guitar. The set list has tracks from the “White City” album, other Pete Townshend solo tracks, Who classics, David Gilmour’s song “Blue Light” and a couple of surprises. Pete Townshend and the band deliver an outstanding performance that showcases him as a solo artist as distinct from his work with The Who.

      My daughter had the lead part in her dance recital to this song in the late 80's when she was maybe 11 or so! Sooo very cool. It's on a VHS of course. Been thinking of having one made of me on video at age 73 dancing to this and having it melded with hers from the 80's! Now how cool would that be?? Going to ask at the Create-A-Video place down the road from here how much that might cost!

      Not sure which one you mean but both sax players (Tim Sanders and Simon Clarke) along with the trumpeter (Roddy Lorimer and Dave Klewes) and trombonist (Peter Toms), comprise the Kick Horns. Pete introduces them here:
      ua-cam.com/video/SYP0qzw-tbI/v-deo.htmlm13s
      Most people aren't familiar with them but their credits are really impressive -- they've played with Beyonce, the Stones, Clapton, Dr. John, Paloma Faith and many more. They're still very active and have their own studio in London.
