Which song from 'Who's Next' features Pete Townshend on lead vocals?

“Going Mobile” is the *Who's Next* song featuring Pete Townshend on lead vocals.

The track is unusual in The Who’s catalogue because Roger Daltrey, the band’s usual lead singer, does not appear on the recording. Townshend sings lead and plays guitar and synthesizer, while John Entwistle contributes bass and Keith Moon plays drums. The result is effectively a Who power-trio performance with Townshend at the microphone.

Townshend originally conceived “Going Mobile” for *Lifehouse*, an ambitious multimedia project that was abandoned during development. Its lyrics celebrate the freedom of travelling in a mobile home, reflecting Townshend’s interest in technology, movement and alternative ways of living. A VCS 3 synthesizer and processed guitar sounds give the song a lighter, more experimental character than many of the album’s heavier tracks.

Another common mix-up is “My Wife,” also from *Who's Next*. That song features John Entwistle on lead vocals, making it the other major exception to Daltrey’s usual vocal role on the album. “Going Mobile” was recorded at Olympic Studios in London in 1971.
