No, Daltrey does deliver the "bum note & a bead of sweat" line in interviews,
however, it's always in the context of giving an energetic live performance, not
in the release of a live album/CD. I guess there's a bit of a hypocritical overlap
there, huh? Bum notes are OK while performing, but let's clean 'em up if it's
going to be released.
