Talking of videos, is White City still available?

From: "L. Bird" <pkeets@hotmail.com>

I've recently gotten a video copy of the full length Deep End concert, and
there are a couple or three things I've found interesting about it.  I get
the feeling that Townshend was experimenting here, feeling free of The Who
and his own man, and there of some flashes of what might have been.

If Roger never had a chance to develop as a songwriter because of his
association with The Who, then Pete never had a chance to develop as a
frontman.  Most of the time in this video, he clowns around just in case he
looks stupid, but there are a couple of instances where he shows the kind of
presence Roger has.  Curiously, I've never seen it from him in anything
else.

The other thing is, this is the most dancing I've seen him do.  I've always
thought Pete had a dancer's body.  He's got enough mass in his butt and
thighs to get that elevation off the ground, and decent coordination in the
footwork.  So now I'm thinking all he needed was somebody to do the
choreography for him.

One of those girls singing backup is Chyna, isn't it?  Anybody know what her
real name is?
