1974 was a rough year for me. I had graduated HS in 73 and all my friends were off to college, something I wasn't ready for. I saw the latest album "Quatrophenia" in a record store and I bought it. For some reason, the album spoke to me, as I was lost. Things changed for me and I didn't go off the deep end...

Remains one of the best interviews with Townshend, after all these years. It exemplifies Dave Marsh's assertion that this is "thinking man's rock by rock's thinking man."

I wrote to Pete in 1984. He wrote back a year later and apologized for taking so long, true story! He sent me a autographed pic, I keep the letter and the pic in my SCOOPS album. I should frame them!

Pete is the ultimate rock and roll spokesperson.

I watched this, in it's entirety before bed last night. I could watch him speak about any subject, and be mesmerized by the mere sound of his voice. I love him.❤️

I can't help but be struck by how beautiful his eyes are. He is a gentle soul in this interview. He is very smart. He played it smart from the beginning when he spent most of two years in his room to learn the guitar. He understood the value in destroying guitars to support their image. He seems to understand how to read situations and come out ahead. What a guy.

Pete saying "You've gotta go on man, otherwise these kids, they'll be finished! They'll have nothing to live for! That's rock and roll" gives me chills every time I hear it. Just brilliant

What a brilliant, deeply feeling fellow Pete Townshend has always been. Deep, honest, spiritually uplifting fellow.

nothing like seeing them from 67---75, they were like a weapon, so much going on with John just on the left like a giant oak thundering along, stick flying in the air, microphones twirling with Pete like a Spitfire in a dog fight---singing like angels, no slow blues or ballads, then they smashed everything--it was unbelievable to witness

This interviewer is smart, he's asking probing questions, but letting pete talk without interjecting his own curiosity, that's hard to do I would imagine, it's enjoyable to watch two guys just chatting about what the who and that era. In first grade our teacher would play a beatles record for us and I thought, wow, this adult is kinda connecting with us through music, some of my earliest and best memories.

A brilliant and very insightful interview of a living legend. Thank you Pete, for being such an inspiration, as an artist and a human being.

Very bright and articulate. As much of a hellraiser as he was capable of being, he was an erudite gentleman with a very winning curiosity of the world around him. Very likeable and charismatic. I understand his daughter went to Cambridge and it doesn’t surprise me.

Back in the days when interviewers did their homework, and let the interviewee TALK. 4 years later almost to the day, Keith was gone.

I think you can hear from his ambivalence about the "Revolution " of the 60s manifested itself in one of the greatest rock lyrics of all time. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."

An interview full of history. One of the great songwriters of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
