Roger Daltrey/The Chieftains - Behind Blue Eyes



As a followup to my last post, if you want a really "pretty" version of "Behind Blue Eyes" you could go with Roger Daltrey teaming up with The Chieftains and singing the song on Jay Leno's show back in 1992. As I alluded to in the last post it's not about "pretty" for me, it's about the genuine emotion. Of course, if you're looking for anger, frustration and sadness exuded to a tee you might as well go back to the original. Daltrey said that his dog died the day The Who first recorded this song for the 1971 album Who's Next. But I've been looking for live stuff and for a specific reason. More on that at another time.
