Welcome to the first in a new series here on Jamtopia, “Backstage Jams!”

To kick things off, I found this up-close look at Pete Townshend doing Tattoo and I'm One backstage at the Ice Palace in Tampa before a Who show on September 26, 2000.

If you only have time for one song, jump ahead to the two-minute mark for I'm One. It's one of my favorite tracks on Quadrophenia and this version is superb — a master-class in rhythm guitar with a sweet little jam at the end that you don't want to miss.
