I have another Who cover I'm working on but I spit this one out last night in the car at about midnight. This was one of the 1st songs I ever learned to play and sing, however if it is your favorite song, you'll hate this. If it's not your "Favorite" you will perhaps hate it less.

I love both the original and this.  Great take on it.  I also love the way you "spit this out in the car at midnight."  So rock and roll - I'm a fan.....

You are the performer, Hook.  I'm almost tempted to say "you da man".

That first part is crying out for someone bashing a drinks tray over their head in rhythm
Overdrive - Distortion - Hyperactivity

(What microphone and what equalization:  there seems to be little low frequency in the voice? )

I used the built in stereo mics on the BR80, small eq setting. I'm outside with it about a foot in front of me just under the sound hole of the Tres on a table.
I didn't adjust the. Eq at all for this one, added reverb and the. Mastered with the vocals setting..I think.

Love the bridge in this. I appreciate your take on covers. I'm still waiting for "Blue, Red, and Grey" also by The Who.

Nice ending.

Love that falsetto burst.
The song takes off like a race horse then slow right down to,a relaxed vibe.
You are indeed a force bro.
Nice one.
