July 1st, 1991 - Pete, Roger and John meet to decide on a song to record for inclusion on the Elton John tribute CD 'Two Rooms'. Roger presses for 'Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)' and ultimately gets his way

The Who do not record it together. Pete and drummer Simon Phillips record their part at Eel Pie Studios, but producer Jon Astley is displeased with Simon's work and replaces it with a programmed drum machine. The track is then sent off to Revolution Studios for Roger and John to lay in their parts

Although John has more than a decade of life left, this track will sadly end up being the last thing he ever recorded with the band in the studio
