Summertime Blues

This is one in a string of key changes I remembered because I was playing them on my guitar and I changed key without thinking about it.  One of my all-time favorite albums/bands/songs/covers/live jams: The Who - Summertime Blues.  What a full frontal assault of big cockery by Pete, Keith, John, and Rodgie.  If you turn up the volume loud enough, it'll kick your teeth in. 
Key change at 2:24

You Better You Bet

I hate thinking about The Who in this stage of their careers. Keith is dead and so was the soul of The Who. Here, Pete uses a key change to give a crappy song more life. Up a step from C to D in the outro.

My Generation

What’s Pete Townshend thinking here? My Generation moves through three key changes from G, up a tone to A, then - and this is the weird bit - up a semitone to Bb, before jumping another tone to finish in C.
