Today is a rare post for three reasons. First of all, I don't usually feature slower paced tunes. Secondly, I rarely feature music from late in an artist's career(as they are not usually as good). And finally, it is not common for me to play songs that were massively overplayed in their original incarnation. But, there is just something about Richie Havens version of this Who staple that just grabs me. Maybe the Pete Townsend lyrics seem more poignant than ever in today's turbulent times. And I wouldn't have heard them in the same old Who presentation.
