Pete Townshend ( band leader, guitarist & composer) ...Music Genius imho

[umbertino]

 

 

Great lyrics.....Always effective in most  situations....Esp. love and politics (worldwide) whenever voting ( and / or anything else really).....But then again.......We never learn....

One of their first hits (1965)...It did create quite a stir  at the time in the British society

I love this one........

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

....And this one

I didn't post the usual vid (which is certainly nice and still available on youtube I think...) showing them while  recording track in the studio as it does not contain the whole song ....It does cut one of the best parts (ending) out....So I'd rather put full song without vid

Woodstock,NY music festival and art fair 1969

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I'm not mistaken  they were one of the 3 non-US bands invited to the festival...The others being Ten Years After & Joe Cocker-RIP ( but Cocker's  band was either half or totally American)......

 

 I could certainly be wrong.....
