Pete Townshend performing "Relay", from Lifehouse. I don't actually have the video, only the album. So yeah. Have fun staring at Pete's face.

This concert was performed at Sadler's Wells, February 25/26th, 2000. The whole performance (containing a lot of Lifehouse's songs) can be bought on DVD from his website.

Here's some more from that concert:

@ZachValkyrie He uses the original backing track. Just like with Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Riley

@zed0469 Pete had his vision of it anyway, part of the Lifehouse story he told much later. At the time, it was not complete.

I like the humor, there are vids of the song from Pete solo and The Who. This song as he says defines the Internet LONG before it came to the public's attention, though the Network of computers was in development in the 60s

It was on his Lifehouse Chronicles boxset. There's recorded songs for the first two discs, operatic stuff for maybe two more, then the Lifehouse radio play on two more discs and the last one has live audio... I think. XD If you like the songs from Lifehouse and want to learn more, it's a good one. But some of the stuff is a bit anemic. It's not the Who, and it's not Pete in his solo prime either. But, it's an interesting insight.

Hahaha, bit of sarcasm there :) I've every intention of seeing 'em, I still like what they do live actually.

I've got tickets to see them in April but I don't think I'll bother, I didn't know that Pete did the singing now.

This song is a sadly forgotten gem. A song written in 1971 about the internet - 25 years later the world started to catch up with Pete Townshend. He's always been so far ahead of his time on so many levels. I don't think there's ever been anyone in music with such creative vision. If there is such a thing as genius, it's Pete Townshend.

it is, but this is prerecorded. they use it at every who concert when they perform this. initially they used a tape back in 1972 but when they revisited it in 1979 they used a wah wah pedal and for the past 9 years they've used a tape again (though a slightly different version than the one they used in 72)

That's him (or someone) using an effects pedal on a guitar. Other than that, I have no idea. That's just a guess anyway.
