Pete collapses after a show, and Roger has to carry him off the stage. They share a moment once Pete comes to.
From Richard Parmelee:
"New Haven, Connecticut. December 15th, 1979. After the deaths of 11 Who fans in Cincinnati on December 3rd, Providence, Rhode Island wanted no part of The Who. Show cancelled. There was an edginess in New Haven. You could feel it in the air. Townshend came on stage drunk with a half bottle of cognac. He finished that bottle and then he finished another full bottle during the show. His vertical leap wasn't affected, he played well & would sing his backing vocals at the wrong times during several songs. Rip, roaring drunk. Everyone could tell he was in terrible emotional pain. I was close to the stage. Shooting pictures which I scanned this morning. Townshend just made it through the set. Then he passed out on stage. Roger carried him from the stage."
