This performance of a perhaps timely song shows Pete's guitar and vocal heroics at their most manic, with Roger Daltrey singing and doing his frenetic thing as well. John Entwistle is steady on bass. Sadly, it was drummer Keith Moon's last performance before his untimely death. I wondered who did the synth. According to Google's "AI Overview" (which seems an appropriate source for something about a synth), it was Pete himself:
"He used an EMS VCS3 Mk1 synthesizer to process the sound of a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ. The organ was played with a marimba repeat effect set to fast, and then the output was fed into the synthesizer and a LFO (Low-Frequency Oscillator) to create the arpeggiated sound. The intro to the song, including the synth part, was recorded using a backing track."
Rock on, Pete!
