New Year 2021: Loren Gold plays '1921' from The Who's Tommy 

Pete is one of the greatest composers ever

"I had no reason to be over-optimistic But somehow, when you smiled I could brave bad weather"

The Who is just one of those bands that doesn’t get old. Let’s make 2021 better than 2020 was!!!!🤩

Written over 50 years ago a song about something from 100 years ago and and yet the opening line so relevant to today.

Saw Tommy in the original "Quintaphonic" sound in 1975. It completely blew me away. After that couldn't stop listening to "Amazing Journey" and "Eyesight to the Blind" on my car cassettes. Your playing is very, very good!

I keep coming back to listen again and again....

This piano arrangement gives this song a completely "classic" status. A masterpiece.

Me and my little sister watched the entire Tommy movie this new years eve

Simply beautiful. "Gotta feelin' 21 is gonna be a good year."

GOD BLESS THE Who !

Just finished listening to the Tommy album, it is without compare

Fantástic. Happy New year Pete and Rog and for everybody.

It’s a travesty that this only has 24k views after 2 years. Such a beautiful piece of work.

It touches your heart, played like this, it touches your soul. Masterpiece by a master composer.

Thanks Loren, I was fortunate enough to see The Who first time in 76, as a 15 year old kid, and the last time in 2014 with you up there in the back, and a special appearance by Scott Devours on drums, and the extra special opportunity to have both my daughters in their 20s with me to see the great Who. happy new year to you and yours!

Mi dog, Clifford, got old (17 years and 8 months) this year and I used to sing to him: “I think 2021 it's gonna be a good year”. He died yesterday. 😔

Beautiful rendition!

I’ve listened to this song a few times today. This is another great version. Thanks, and happy ‘21!

Happy New year to The Who & everyone else as well. Let's not only have a Great 2021 but have the best year of our lives!

Love this comp. The Who my first love of rock music the very moment I listen to them . ❤️ Happy New Years ❤️

Thank you. I've been singing along to this since you posted it. Brings me peace 💜

Gorgeous!! Thank you Loren!!!

So beautiful, thank you 👏👏👏

Thank you for a beautiful first day of the new year. Things are going to get better Be part of the solution The times are changing Enjoy

Lovely sentiment chaps, _“21 is gonna be a good year”_ although I have a feeling _“Won’t Get Fooled Again”_ would have been more apropos!

My favorite album, thanks for sharing

Good to hear it in my holiday camp

Thanks Loren. Beautiful

Bravo Bravo Lauren, Brilliant

I’m so happy someone did this. I’d planned on learning this song by today but my skill isn’t there, have not put in enough time.

Townshend.

This wonderful piano version shows once again that Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend is one of the greatest composers in serious music of the last five decades . . . besides being an ultimate rock music hero as well. A truly unique and blessed combination.

Lovely.

Looking forward to hearing it live again.

I feel that way too

He’s fantastic, an integral part of the band

Magnífico! Deus abençoe The Who!

THE WHO!!!!

I wish it was longer ...

Wonderful

So beautiful ❤️

beautiful

Wonderfull'21

Great dynamics in Loren's playing this outstanding composition that is relevant today not only for its obvious "21" references but also the chilling truth denial of "how absurd it all seems without any proof."

Merveilleux ! Bravo.

What a beautiful rendition, so beautifully played and a fantastic classical style arrangement. Thankyou so much.👍🇬🇧

Really lovely, thanks Loren. I'm sure we're all 🤞🏻

Perfect

Very relaxed played. Very good. Today i have my task 😎

Happy New Year

I hope they'll predict (20)21 is gonna be a good year!

Beautiful

YES

And again. Please consider doing a recording of the entire score.....

Happy & Healthy New Year to everyone 🎉💕🎉💕

HAPPY NEW YEAR. Saludos desde Lima Perú

It figures ,history repeats itself, 4 Windows in charge of following a script,Pre-programming the generational masses with paradigms in conflict

I've lost or mislaid my Who tickets meant for last year now for this april,dont know what to do,i cant even remember what agency i got the Nottingham tickets from.

:"3 what about the Boy ?

4 Thumbs Down ? In what universe ?

Thank you for starting '21 off with The Who...❤

We all hope 21 is gonna be a good year

Love's promise, hope, humiliation,shame,rage murder,conspiracy,mind-control,loss,guilt & pinball redemption among the bells & flashing lights ultimately Only Pete Knows

Thanks for that Loren, it was a good way to start the new year by listening to that performance! Got a feeling '21 is gonna be a good year................especially if The Who and me see it in together...........

Music truly is a blessing. Thanks. And music is healing. Peace, love and blessings to all.

Love that little Who pillow. Nice touch.

wowzers!! Classical wonderful version@ !! thank you!!

"...So you 21 is going to be a good year..."

_Happy New Year Roger&Pete_ 🎉 *best & safe wishes in 2021* you also loren

Thanks for that!! It was wonderful 👏 😊 ❤ Have A Very Who New Year!! 🎶🎯🤘🏻✌🏻🎶❤🎉🥂🍾🥂

Beautiful rendition. 👍

Made an old man cry...

2021 will be Better then 2020 , You Bet !

My old vinyl copy of Tommy on Decca label lists this song as You Didn't Hear It.

I adore this song and The Who, but in the context of Tommy, this song better describes 2020: It starts off hopeful and escalates to full-out panic.

I made sure this was the first song I heard this year lol

Beautiful arrangement.

Excellent Loren! Here's hoping 2021 is better than 2020! Happy New Year to all!

Almost as good as Rachel on 1921 piano- FANTASTIC

Magnificent gift. Happy New Year. 🌟

Excellent rendition. Really sets the mood. Thanks for sharing.

Love Loren Gold playing with Thee Ooo

Is it me or the big shot is different from the little one. If not, check the detail of the San Francisco Padres cap in the big pic, which is not in the little one.

We are the frequency which will or will not create a ~'good'~ year. Our induvidual creations resulting from our perceptions, intentions , responses of all kinds,ie; thoughts beliefs, emotions, fear or confidence, will become collective consciousness / un•consciousness of every human being upon this 🌎 planet. We are the 'eyes of the world ...' we are the vision. ''Chante Ishta ...'' ''Single Eye Of The Heart'' I have learned the best place to stay is in my heart, allowing the mind of my heart to program & direct the workings of the brain in my head. Key frequency empowering all of me is the Uni~Versal Sacred heart~beat ... . We find what we are looking /seeking to find~ We truly are More powerful than we comprehend. Who are you? Who~Who, Who~Who?🎶🕊👀🧝‍♀️🌲 💚🗝💚🗝💚🗝💚🗝💚🦉🌲👀

Mr Townsend, I want you to collaborate with Steven Spielberg on a new version of “Tommy” based on your Broadway musical

Are you sure?

Amazing. Thanks.

Is sheet music for sale of Lorens arrangement. Its awesome.

"What about the boy..." the Who, the only band that ever really mattered.
