THIS LISTING IS FOR THE EDDIE/PETE SET ONLY! If you have the Pete set, please add it under Pete Townsend.
Pete solo: Won't Get Fooled Again, Behind Blue Eyes, Drowned, Cut My Hair, Slit Skirts, I Put a Spell on You, Let My Love Open the Door
With EV: Heart to Hang Onto, Let's See Action, Better Man (!!!), Till The River Runs Dry, Sheraton Gibson [EV solo vox], Magic Bus, I'm One [EV solo vox]
notes: This was a press conference/promotion showcase (featuring media, VIP and radio station contest winners) to promote the release of the forthcoming PT live album. Ed was in the audience for Pete's first portion of the set, bopping his head to the music. :-) Right after 'Let My Love Open the Door' Pete introduces Ed, saying 'Ed's gonna help with this show, he's helped with this show in the past, he's helping on the CD too (the evening began with a press-only premiere of the live album)' and talks about how Ed is from Chicago (explaining Ed's connection to the Chicago-based charity that Pete's benefit shows have been for.) Ed joins Pete on stage, cheat sheets under his arm. Ed sings along on 'Heart To Hang Onto,' exactly like Ed's appearance at the 1997 HOB show. Ed's eyes are closed while Pete is singing, gently swaying. Pete talks about how his work on Lifehouse has leaked out and explains the history of the project, and comments that he's been sending Eddie stuff he's been working on (HEY ED! Your list gets ours! :-)) Next, Ed plays acoustic on 'Let's See Action' (while Pete plays electric), trading verses and chorus; Pete needs to look at the sheet music, while Ed knows it by heart. After the song ends, Pete comments, "This is one of yours," and they go into 'Better Man,' Pete's on electric, Ed's on a black acoustic Gibson (no pick) - Pete singing the counterpart on the choruses (!!!!) (No 'Save It For Later', though!) It appeared as though Pete was looking to Ed to get the chord changes; Ed picks up a towel and puts it over Pete's hand as though he was playfully hiding his hands from Pete's view. Pete prefaces "Till The River All Runs Dry" with a brief discussion about MS and Ronnie Lane (with whom Pete originally wrote the song - see a previous Song X for an explanation of Ronnie Lane). They alternate verses on the song; Ed needs the words a little; Pete plays the guitar solo. Ed sings 'Sheraton Gibson' - Pete playing guitar and singing backing vocals, and Ed gets a standing ovation from a crowd full of die-hard Who fans at the end of it! 'Magic Bus' has Pete on electric, Ed on the black acoustic. Ed only sings a couple of lines and is mostly backing vocals. At the end of the song, Ed fakes smashing his guitar. =) Before "I'm One," Pete commented that Ed was nervous about this one, because Pete usually closes with it (at his solo acoustic shows) - "But it sounds nice when Ed sings it." (awwwwwwwww) Ed's on vocals, Pete's on acoustic guitar. Set ends; Pete and Ed hug; Pete thanks Ed on the mic, Ed goes to the mic and thanks Pete (the only thing he said all night). Pete said, "When we originally planned this, the album was supposed to be out now, but it's not, it's not coming out until September, and that's my fault." For the encore, Pete reprises 'I'm One,' much like Ed's version(s) - when he sings "I'm a loser, no chance to win," he sings instead "I'm a loser too, no chance to win". End of an amazing historical evening!!!
