Who is said to have played lead guitar on The Who's I Can't Explain?

 

[Spoonz Red E]

Dexy's name for their first 5 or 6 gigs was The Dynatones. And prior to their donkey jacket and hat 'soul rebel' look they dressed as cummerbunded waiters wearing ballet shoes. Strange but true.

Re the Who .... Jimmy Page is the usual suspect for 'uncredited guitarist' of that era.
