3 songs where Pete does lead vocals on Tommy? How do you think it will
come off with Roger doing them?

In 1989 Pete & Roger traded vocals on Sally Simpson and it worked
well.

In 1975-6, Roger sang "Acid Queen" except for the bridge ("Gather your
wits...") which Pete sang.

It was great.

Here's an example from Cleveland '75:

Not Tommy related, but Pete took over the lead vocals for Drowned at
some point so Roger could add harmonica to the song and I don't think
Roger ever sang it again. Pete turned it into a solo acoustic song
that is great in its own way, but I really liked that full band
version from the 1982 tour.

I liked the full band version a lot as well. Shame it hasn't been
heard since 1982.

While I'm at it, here's two examples.

Hammersmith Odeon '79:

I think Roger should have continued to sing it. Never liked it as
much after Pete took it over.
