>It depended on both.  Pete provided the framework, the structure, the 
>*intent.*
And the band took it to another level.  For example, OX seemed to place a 
lot
of his bass flourishes (but not all of them) where Pete put them on his 
demos.

>And there *is* a drum solo in WGFA on Pete's demo, albeit a very stiff &
less dramatic one, compared to Moonie's.

Since John said these were workshopped demos, I don't have total confidence 
any more that they're verification Pete's done all the composing.


>But OX & Moonie had the balls to expand on Pete's germinations.  They had
been playing with him for years.  They certainly weren't unsure about adding 
their
unique expressions to the mix.  They were confident in the roles.  They 
weren't
afraid of Pete.

Weren't his employees, in other words.


>And remember when Pete made that comment that Entwistle, later in The Who's
career, began playing too fancy & not playing to *the song.*  So, there is a
dichotomy involved.

That he expects improvs but wants them to stay within bounds?
