I saw him every year. He played solo at the House of blues in Chicago for Maryville Academy. Who ended up playing the House of blues twice in Chicago and I saw both shows. One with Entwhistle, and one after he died. The 80 shows I’ve seen of The Who and Pete Townsend that had to be the greatest I’ve ever seen.

pete's quadrophenia shone a much needed spotlight on the societally stiffled issue of mental health. gave it the showcase it needed to be considered more carefully not just by policymakers but in the hearts and minds of his audience. bold, defiant and emotive has always been the work of townshend.

Interesting to hear how Pete liked doing interviews about the band back in the day partially because he got a lot of positive feedback from journalists. He became very thorough and loquacious when interacting with the music press and I think that really helped the concepts behind albums like Quadrophenia get across.

So I'm sitting here and having a chuckle listening to Pete, and remembering witnessing them play live twice, and by witness I mean being pelted by Maximum R & B...Ha! They were a tour de force, and yes, They Were Very Loud! And I still stand by my assessment that Live at Leeds is the best live recording by a band.
And Pete... I still love ya, you Ole Bastard.

Gotta love Pete for not just writing some of the greatest rock songs of all time but also for being an exceptionally insightful and articulate storyteller!
