Check out this video of Pete Townshend playing "Give Blood" from his "White City" tour.

If you look closely on some of the aerial camera shots and at 3:34 or so you'll see a harp player behind Pete. With 38 musicians blaring away, you can't hear the guy at all. But I'm curious about who it was. Anyone know?

peter hope-evans. He's played on a bunch of Townsend's solo stuff since the seventies. There's a great song called "Misunderstood" on the Pete Townsend/Ronnie Lane album Rough Mix...well worth checking out!

A much blusier version of the SBW tune than the cut from Tommy:



This song is on Pete Townshend's Deep End Live!, which has a whole bunch of other good stuff on it.
