> version 1)!
> Slit Skirts ( PT solo on piano - One of the questioners in the Q+A
> asked about this, Pete had 4 goes at it all sounded ok, they can
probably get a good edit here)
>

> backing band played the following:
> 
> Slow improvised blues (Rabbit laying down a 12 bar groove)
> Baba O'Reilly
> Slow blues again

> 
> Pete told us:  'I know some of you will be reporting back on this,
> I'll be checking the Internet sites tonight, mainly in the interests
of accuracy'.......................!
> 
> He again confirmed The Who will definitely tour this summer.
> 
> We'll put some of the PT chat in a later note. The filming(sic)
> lasted just over 2.5 hours so most of this will end up on the cutting
room floor.
> 
> Pete was in good voice until Song Is Over - 'I never knew talking
> could take so much out of your voice, I didn't hit some of the high
notes there'.
> 
> Should make a good TV show. They said this was the 50th show after 5
> years of Storytellers, and that they'd been after Pete since show 1 -
that was why so many people from VH-1 US had flown over to watch the
filming.

> Kim+Lester
