I saw there was only one cover song so far and figured I'd give it a go. I have to admit that I know the Scorpions version much better than the original.
Recorded on my Boss BR-900
Track 1: Guitar (doubled and delayed for the Haas effect to make it sound wider and more full)
Track 2: Bass Guitar (my acoustic/electric DI)
Track 3: Vox (I tracked it twice, this is the second take. I probably should have comped it, but my voice was starting to give out and I was afraid they wouldn't match up that well.)
Track 4: (1-3 virtual tracks) Backup Vox
Track 5: Guitar Solos 1 and 2 (I used the wah preset to get a sort of classic rock vibe)
Track 6: Drums via EZdrummer plugin using the stock Rock midi. I rendered as Wav and mixed from there.
Mixed in Reaper. A little EQ on several tracks, Headcrusher comp on the drums, Mcompressor on a couple of tracks including the lead vocal. All vocals have at least a touch of delay (I prefer delay to reverb.) And the background vox were panned a bit.

A slow start to this Festival but it's certainly picking up now,
Top class performance TC, some nice guitar work going on here.
Well done.....

Love the buzz.
Great cover.
I really enjoyed it. I was doing my Austin Powers dance all over the place.

One of the best Who songs, imo!
Your interpretation sounds so good! Well sung and and backing vocals is nicely panned!
Top class production, too!

Great version! Got to admit I had no idea The Scorpions had done a version of this. I love the energy you've captured here. Great performances & a brilliant production!

A cool version of I Can't Explain T.C.! I also didn't know The Scorpions had covered it. I'll have to look it up. Good production, performances and your vocals are top notch!

Now that's fuzz. Loved this from one of my favorite bands. The solo tone was jarringly appropriate.
Pete would approve.
