    1982, hell I was already well into my 20s.....Thanks to my older brother who introduced me to The Who, LZ, Cream, and other great bands when I was in ELEMENTARY school, I was already a HUGE Who fan. Now? I'm ancient. Somehow along the way, I blew out my liver, survived a mild bout with cancer, and bested two heart attacks. I like to think that these boys and their High-Test piss-and-vinegar music helped me along the way. Now I am old and just wealthy enough to own a wonderfully outrageous stereo system that I could only dream about in high school. So, I enjoy it all over again and exactly how it was SUPPOSED to sound. I sure do hope my neighbors like them. Thanks Gents!

Nobody there could hold a candle to this guy. As Pete aged, he got better/ as hard as that sounds to imagine. He is one of the greatest guitar performers in the history of rock and roll. Carry on Pete, your greatest fan.

      Pete is a monster guitar player and I love his intensity. However, there were a few other great players at Woodstock, including Hendrix and Mr. Santana. I think Carlos' 50-year career has been amazing. Only the Rolling Stones and Santana have had a Top Ten album in SIX different decades. That's pretty impressive. This is meant only to show that great guitarists like Santana, Townshend, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Al DiMeola, Hendrix, Clapton and others compliment each other. They're not in competition. One is not greater than the other. We all have our favorites and yours, Pete Townshend, is among the best!

      I've seen the Who many times, including this '82 tour. However, the John Entwistle Band did a mid 90's club tour ... sat right in front of him and his huge live rig... what a night that was.
      Viewing and especially hearing his playing ability and tone directly in front of his concert rig in a moderate size club show was everything I could ask for!
      As a FOH audio engineer, and being part of live events of all sizes, I've had the good fortune to see essentially everyone that performs live over the last few decades.
      That particular night in front of JE was truly magical.

There's a great documentary simply named "Who's Next". It shows Pete Gett'n It Done. I feel he's underappreciated, just say'n

    I was playing this song over and over real loud in my room when I was a kid and my stepdad opened the door and yelled "Turn this sh*t off!". I turned the volume down at first, but I gradually turned it up over an hour or so. He burst into my room and picked up my stereo and smashed it on the ground - and it didn't turn off! He tried again and it kept on playing - even louder! This went on for about 5 minutes and he eventually gave up. He's in prison now for writing bad checks.

I remember him looking at the Jim Morrison poster on my wall with the denim shirt and aviators, and him saying to me "I worry that you like him". I remember him looking at my Cheap Trick poster and telling me Rick Neilson looks like a fag lol. Old men just don't get it. Thankfully I get constant praise from my two grown sons for remaining very cool and up with the times.

And powerful. I only saw The Who one time and that was on the 'Who's Next' tour. I love 'Quadraphenia' (more than 'Tommy'), but 'Who's Next' is my personal fave!
