And the opposite end of the spectrum - the 1973 QUAD tour rehearsals
when Daltrey, courtesy of his fist, gave Pete a nice case of temporary
amnesia!
Also there's that bit of footage on 30 YEARS OF MAX R&B which shows
the band (with Kenny) rehearsing "Sister Disco" & Who Are You." Poor
Rabbit takes some criticism from Pete concerning his backing vocals on "Who
Are You." Also, Daltrey, like any garage-band singer at practice, faces the
other members rather than going through a schtick of pretending the audience
is really out there.
But who controlled a WHO practice? In the early days, was it Roger? Was
it Lambert & Stamp? Or did the "Power of Pete" take over, even in those sit-
uations?
