Pete Townshend

In 1986, Pete Townshend was in a dynamic phase of his career, primarily known for his role as the lead guitarist and primary songwriter for The Who. The live recording of "Save It For Later," featured on the album "Deep End Live!" captures his solo artistry during a time when he was exploring new musical avenues separate from the band. Notably, "Save It For Later" is a song originally by The English Beat, but Townshend's rendition showcases his knack for infusing rock elements into diverse genres. The "Deep End Live!" album was released at a time when Townshend was actively engaged in live performances, proving his resilience and adaptability as a solo artist after The Who's initial disbandment in 1982. The live shows from this period were also characterized by a strong emphasis on his burgeoning solo work, allowing him to reconnect with fans through both his iconic past and innovative present.
