    I remember this from my college days in the mid 80s. I've always considered most 80s music to have been a bunch of synthesizer banging garbage, so its ironic that this wonderful song that was an exception to that rule is largely forgotten except by those of us who where there at the time.

    Here it is 2024 and it’s still better than a lot of songs out today.

    I'm 15 and I love this song. It's like my morning prayer.

    Its a good wakeup songs that you really don't have to explain to them when they get older. So many songs have too many double meanings. This is on of the clean songs that kids can listen too.

    This will always be one of the best dance tracks of all time . Impossible not to get up and dance around your loungeroom

    grew up with The Who in the 60's. They were always there at the edge led by Pete. Blew my mind to hear this the first time. The guy just keeps amazing.

    Yes I saw this song on tv years ago, I saw Pete Townshend but never knew the song. Its great. So much energy.

    Fucking good! It only takes one Pete's song to put all these 'modern' rockers to shame. Long Live Rock!

    One of the best wakeup songs ever written! My 3 year old grandson and I rock out to this on the way to daycare every morning!

    Funny to think I've been listening to this song for 30 years whenever I need a boost of energy.
    This is the best rendition in my opinion.

    His daughter, Emma looked so cool in this vid. Great hair and outfit!
    My hubby and I bonded over this song when we were dating. It's "our song!"
    We danced to it SO many times,
    Great video!
    Really fun. It's an homage to his dad who played clarinet in a Big Band during WW11 and was a well known musician in his day as well.

      it's only your song if you have done it to this song.

  • @John923T
    @John923T 9 років тому +8

    A song filled with energy, pizzazzz, flair, pure electricity...if you can't feel it you ain't got nothin' inside. Always loved song, I play the harp and I gotta tell ya it all comes together with that harp, the horns, the bass, pure energy, you just have to tap you feet & move.
    One of Pete's best from a great album...I believe it was from 1985 over 30 years have passed and this song still kicks...try listening to this while driving and keep it at the speed limit it is ....impossible...simply superb.
    Peace 2 ya from a 60 yr. old kid.

      John923T I agree with your whole statement. If this song doesn't make you bounce nothing will.

  • @johnnybronxo9311
    @johnnybronxo9311 12 років тому +1

    Great song, this really gets you going, this song has everything Horns, kicking Bass, Peter H. Evans on the Harp, even Peter T.'s daughter Emma (love the dancing & batoning with her arm in arm) does a little rap. I played the Harp not unusual for musicians to let others come up & jam. This song cannot be played while driving....whooooaaaa whoops. forgot to pay the Toll". Great energy & the Beats are off the hook.

  • @JimAdsit
    @JimAdsit 14 років тому +1

    I wish this version with Emma singing her little rap was available on CD!! I like it even more than the original. Everything about this song and video is great. I LOVE Emma's look she gives to Pete before she takes the microphone, Pete's "Joe Jackson personna"(complete with coat), how he seems to check out his daughters rear end when walking behind her, the overall energy of the band and, of course, the song!!!

    I realy love this song! I heared it, when my dad was hearing his old disks in the evening. Pete is a very good singer (i didn't know before... i just knew, that he was very good in playing guitar)

  • @meredithburton7918
    @meredithburton7918 8 років тому +1

    That harmonica is gorgeous, actually played by Peter Hope-Evans, a gent about 30 years older than the young guy on stage here. Great song !

    I remember when this song debuted on AT40 in December, 1985-host Casey Kasem said, "and yes, that's exactly how the song ends". (Referring to the abrupt cut at the very end.)

    Awesome GS1! Thanks a lot for the info. I never thought of Eminence Front as jazzy, but now that you mention it, I can see (hear?) that. And you're right, it's NEVER too late for The Who (the world's greatest rock and roll band, in my humble but learned opinion! ;-)

  • @gop4usa12
    @gop4usa12 9 років тому

    I love that big band sound! It's too bad we can't have more of it. But I gotta say, Martina McBride did good by bringing the horn section along on her last tour. We just need more of it.

    For over 30 years I didn't know that was Pete Townshend's daughter. Beautiful. Can you like a song but also think it's a big wank to have so many people on it? How did he pay all of them? Where are they now? Is the harmonica player still as cool? Are the two girl backing singers grandmothers on pensions now? Feel sad suddenly
