IWHYH, Quote, SIEGE

[Marc/Carolyn Hurwitz <MHurwitz@compuserve.com>]

Hi, people...just two questions and an answer today.

Anyone ever heard the Who's version of "I Want To Hold
Your Hand" from TKAA film?  Marsh talked about it in
BEFORE I GET OLD.  I'd love to hear it someday.

Second, in which song does Pete sing at the end of each
chorus, "I never ever get an answer"?  I should know this,
I know, but it's driving me NUTS!! <g>

Last, someone asked about the SIEGE project.  I thought
someone more knowledgable would take that one, but
since I haven't heard anything yet, here's what I know.
Pete says this in his liner notes to ANOTHER SCOOP:

"One idea I hit on while culling ideas for the aborted Who
album was called SIEGE.  It was rooted in the idea that
each of us is a soul in siege.  I abandoned the idea in
March 1983....SIEGE was based musically on a series
of five black note repetitions."  Pete evidently referred to
the black notes of the piano.  "Ask Yourself" and "Cat Snatch"
from ANOTHER SCOOP were pieces intended for SIEGE;
they are similar in musical structure.  "Cat Snatch" is an
instrumental that sounds to me something like the later
"Digging In The Dirt" (Mr. Gabriel).  "Ask Yourself" is a
very spacey, synth-based tune with high harmonies.

That's about all I know re SIEGE...Anyone else able to
tell us more?

Thanks, all!
