I've always had the feeling the The Who was never really comfortable with
this song.  I've yet to hear a version that they "nailed".
For me the song is weird, definitely an acquired taste.  That is until you
get to Pete's solo's.  Then, holy shit.  One of the truly divine Who moments
is from the IOW version where Pete hits those 7 rapid-fire chords mixed with
feedback that just seems to break the speed of light.  You can almost hear
sparks flying from his guitar. And right on it's heels is a just incredible
answer by John and Keith.  John moving up the fret and then back down, with
Keith doing a very meticulous and planned out roll. And then Pete answers
the answer.  It's one of my favorite Who moments.

I could swear that it wasn't just John who alluded to that.

Stay in Tune,
