Not a huge fan of The Who in the sense that I won't put an album of theirs on to just listen to it. I know the songs that everyone knows but that being said.. A great performance is worth sharing. I put this on par with Queen from Live Aid.. Pete Townsend and the windmill are about as iconic as you can get in rock music.

Twenty seven minutes of high energy, with the audience going wild. Fire fighters and police on the air guitars and drums and one guy "mashing" so violently that he probably has permanent brain damage!
Bono was quoted as saying "I wouldn't fancy following that"!

Please can we stop with this bashing of Pete Townsend?

Time was, when the male and female police officers arrived, to tell you your family were all dead, the female officer would say "shall I make you a cup of tea".
