Aug 26, 2008 - According to Wikipedia, he has a daughter named Amanda. (Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey, now plays drums for The Who. . . maybe that's what you're thinking of?)

Nov 10, 2008 - I think I recognize the female percussionist as the gal that was in The Who's band on their '89 tour. Personally, I think the harmonica solo sounds really out of place. Should've been left out. But I LOVE Pete's solo at the end of the song!!

rapdavis1 Says:

Nov 20, 2008 - The Drummer & and the Bass Player or from the band Big Country. Love this song. !!

Nov 22, 2008 - Absolute brilliance!!!! Pete has had awesome solo songs.This is my fave...MTV heavy rotation back in the day...memories...

cvjucla3 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - Lol. 5 years ago, I could relate to this song as well. I would play it and sing it all the time. I was 34 then as well.

cvjucla3 Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - The bongo player always has tripped me out. She has a very peculiar quality to her.

Kohntarkosz Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - You mean conga player. That's Jodi Lindscott. She's played percussion with lots of people, including David Gilmour, and Don Henley.

Kohntarkosz Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - You are correct! That is Jodi Lindscott, who played percussion in Pete's Deep End band in 86, as well as The Who's 89 tour, and the mid 90's Quadrophenia tour. She also played percussion on David Gilmour's 84 tour, and has played with other people. I remember seeing her in Don Henley's All She Wants To Do Is Dance video. As for the harmonica solo, I always thought the album version sounded weird WITHOUT the solo.

KCVROCKS2008 Says:

Dec 11, 2008 - i love the lyrics to this song.

JennaP46 Says:

Dec 20, 2008 - KCVROCK...do the lyrics sound all too familiar? I love the lyrics as well~~~

screwyootube Says:

Dec 24, 2008 - I'd never heard the harmonica solo either, but I'd agree, it definitely does not fit. This is a great song! I never understood why this was not a hit (in the U.S.). For that matter, Pete had a lot of great stuff from his solo albums that (mostly) got overlooked. Except for Let My Love Open the Door & Face the Face, the rest of his singles tanked.

MylesStandish1656 Says:

Dec 25, 2008 - err...it was a hit here. not top 40 "pop" hit, but the local rock stations wore this gem of a song out in the states. 95 rock in Tampa.

screwyootube Says:

Dec 28, 2008 - I probably heard the song 4-5 times at rock radio (Los Angeles) when this album came out, then it disappeared. Today, NONE of his music is played at rock radio, although I've heard Let My Love Open the Door once or twice at the new Adult Alternative station here (called, "The Sound").
