Amazing stuff! Hope to see it some day, as a huge Townshend/Who fan for decades! Good luck to everyone that's going to be benefitting from access to this facility!
Pete was the very FIRST to use a "synthesizer" in a way that was music, not a gimmick. Nobody could make better music with electronic instruments than Pete - not even Vangelis IMHO. God love Won't Get Fooled Again. / Baba O'Riley - just WOW!
@@willrich3908 That's his prerogative and I take nothing away from him. I could cite Walter/Wendy Carlos in the same vein and also Laurie Anderson. At the end of the day though, it is Pete who has inspired millions upon millions of young musicians to look at rock and roll in a completely different light and to see the possibilities beyond guitars and drums and Spandex. The power of The Who is epic and I stand by that.
A school is much better than a museum. Smart move, Pete. Your legacy will live forever.

Pete Townshend is one of the most underappreciated musicians and artists in the world.
Very cool! As said before...so much better in a school setting.
What an amazing thing for Pete Townshend to do.
Congratulations UWL! You are so fortunate to have access to these treasures . I look forward to hearing melody from you all.
Why is this awesome news so hidden?
The crazy TH-cam algorithm got me here - clearly my taste is impeccable.
Where's everyone else?
So apt. Pete Townsend is a musical genius whose music still sounds modern.
Congrats, this is epic, mind-blowing, perfect!
Pete's Soul Kitchen, cheers!
Nobody is going to come up with "Recorders" though ... God Bless, Pete ... the fire.
WISH KEITH AND JOHN COULD SEE THIS
That 2500. Damn.
Brilliant!
I'm glad to see Pete giving back. Gosh, the 60s Rock Avant-garde are starting to get frail. We are going to the lose our last angels
This is a great thing!
Makes me want to be a very mature student
Arp 2500!
I wonder now thats done if he will have time to finish his book😂🤣😂
Finished and published his book years ago. What is your point?

Terry Riley might disagree

This is absolutely fantastic. Great cause by a great musician. Thanks Pete. 👍🏆

Nice to see that Mr.Townshend is not afraid of his receeding hairline😊
Good for Pete. Looking well, sounding a bit wobbly. Must ve the overwhelm.
What a bunch of bores, thank goodness The Clash stole all his riffs and made them better and relevant.
The Clash? Ha ha.
Who?
In your dreams
Oh come on... early Who is more punk than The Cash ever were. Doing that stuff in 66 was revolutionary, doing it in 76 was regurgitation.
The Clash is the most overrated band ever. Together with Oasis. Just shit.
