The Who playing raucous, rough, and rocking version of the Fab Four’s 1963 hit “I Saw Her Standing There,” will be included in the upcoming Super Deluxe Edition of the Who Are You album.
The “I Saw Her Standing There” cover features drummer Keith Moon on lead vocals, with frontman Roger Daltrey singing along. According to the information of The Who’s YouTube channel, the recording also features backing vocals by Andy Fairweather-Low and Billy Nicholls. Fairweather-Low and Nicholls also sang on multiple tracks on the Who Are You album.
The rendition of “I Saw Her Standing There” is one of more than a dozen songs from a 1977 rehearsal at The Who’s Shepperton Studios in London featured on the Super Deluxe Edition of the Who Are You reissue, which will be released on October 31. Another tune from the session was a cover of the Beach Boys hit “Barbara Ann” sung by Moon.

The collection includes a remastered version of the originally released Who Are You mix by producer Jon Astley; an initial mix by producer Glyn Johns that the band rejected; various session outtakes, demos, and alternate mixes; rehearsals and performances recorded at Shepperton Studios in 1977, 1978, and 1979; and live performances from The Who’s 1979 U.S. tour, which featured Moon’s successor, Kenney Jones, on drums.
