Can you imagine being asked to lend instruments to the Who in the mid-sixties...?:rofl
That's why you've never heard of Tages. They couldn't tour after their gear all got trashed.

It sounds cheesy but Pete isn't a lead or tradditional rhythm guitarist. His style is so unique. I remember watching the footage from the isle of wight and thinking "wow. I've never seen anyone play like this before". He blew me away and I've been a fan ever since.
+1.
If you listen to "Cant Explain" on there he plays a great bend, slide-up, double-stop and release at the beginning of that solo that's well worth nicking.
I agree. There's an interplay between the three of them that works.I think a lot of that had to do with him having to work around a rhythm section that both played lead. The Who were totally upside-down and backwards as a band, but it just worked so well.

Was that Pete or a session man ??
And yes, Leeds is amazing, and I always contend that it might be the best live album of all time.

I mean the 'Live at Leeds' version so it was Peter T. for sure. He kicks off that solo with this great lick and and whenever I get to jam something in 'E' I always try to crowbar some version of it in there. eace2
I know the exact lick you mean. That one always stood out to me too.
It is a truly great album but for me "Strangers in the Night", with the greatest ever rock guitarists pristine guitar work all over it will always assume that place. :couch
Hey, that moment when Hendrix quotes "Strangers in the Night" in his Monterrey Pop performance in the middle of "Wild Thing" and taps out the melody with just his left hand was pretty awesome. :spabout

Ha! Number 1 hit in '67, as I recall.
