“We are not the Arctic Monkeys, .. I wouldn’t want to go through that… ”
~Pete Townshend
Lovely version of “I Am One” from the Sheffield (UK) concert of the “The Who Tour 2006–2007“.
Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I’m a loser – no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.But I’m one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You’ll all see
I’m the one.

This concert was the final show of the first leg of the “Working on a Dream Tour“.
Glory Days was next to last on the setlist… (Bruce ended with “Mony Mony”) and it contains the “Louie Louie” coda.
East Rutherford, NJ – 23 May 2009
I had a friend was a big baseball player
Back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
But all he kept talking about was
Glory days well they’ll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl’s eye
Glory days, glory days

Soon [all the] nights they will be ended,
Soon, all true love will be so splen-did.
I’ve found the happiness I’ve waited for.
The only girl that I was waiting for.

Soon the lonely nights will be ended,

I’ve found the happiness I’ve waited for.
The only girl that I was fated for.

Man thinks ’cause he rules the earth he can do with it as he please
And if things don’t change soon, he will
Oh, man has invented his doom
First step was touching the moon
This is my fav version of “License To Kill”… different and beautiful all the way..

Musicians:
Now, there’s a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grows still
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?Now, they take him and they teach him and they groom him for life
And they set him on a path where he’s bound to get ill
Then they bury him with stars
Sell his body like they do used cars
Now, there’s a woman on my block
She just sit there facin’ the hill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?Now, he’s hell-bent for destruction, he’s afraid and confused
And his brain has been mismanaged with great skill
All he believes are his eyes
And his eyes, they just tell him liesBut there’s a woman on my block
Sitting there in a cold chill
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?Ya may be a noisemaker, spirit maker
Heartbreaker, backbreaker
Leave no stone unturned
May be an actor in a plot
That might be all that you got
’Til your error you clearly learnNow he worships at an altar of a stagnant pool
And when he sees his reflection, he’s fulfilled
Oh, man is opposed to fair play
He wants it all and he wants it his wayNow, there’s a woman on my block
She just sit there as the night grows still
She say who gonna take away his license to kill?
