Who Will Play First, Monterey Pop, 1967

[MrBuddyHolly1]

I think the bandage is when I windmilled and the wammy stabbed his hand. LOL but he kept playing.

[DONDIVA1969]

Pete's feelings about Hendrix are ambivalent at best and duplicitous at worst.

[pjennings424]

hes got a bandage on his right hand from windmilling too hard...fucking awesome

[186kms]

Pete didn’t dislike Hendrix, he was in awe of Hendrix…

[mybrucespringsteen]

[doox420]

he took a face that looked like pete townsend from the ancient gallery

[rockstar59678]

haha, jimi pulling pete stunts

[PeteTownshendIsJesus]

You can understand Pete being a bit pissed off with Hendrix. The Who had been smashing their equipment for 3 years, and were so poor they as a result that they couldn't afford to take their own amps and other equipment (which is why Pete's guitar and John's bass sound so crappy and feeble compared to what they're usually like.) Hendrix took his own stuff, sounded and played (as usual) amazingly and then stole their act. A bit of a dick move tbh. Still love both The Who and Jimi though.

[muttilo]

Oh the Master Storyteller Spins another yarn !! The Townshend is the fuckin shit man I'm sorry ...

[MsMoonTheLoon]

what happened to pete's hand? :D

little fight with Moonie?^^

The Who were amazing an monterey, Hendrix also

[darrell7878]

does anybody know what year this is sounds like pete doesnt like jimi but eric does

[Fredrockroll]

pete liked jimi.

[vampyros1]

@darrell7878 Pete adored Jimi, it was a complimentary thing between the two. To say "I'm not gonna follow you" is like saying "you're so great ... too tough of an act to follow".

[flaxonx3]

@darrell7878 this is 1972/73 and comes from the posthumous film about Hendrix, one of the first to feature talking heads which is the staple of every rock/pop/tv-doc these days.

[VdGGfan]

@darrell7878 My guess is sometime around 1972; the Jimi Hendrix documentary was released in 1973.

[asmorgan88]

Pete Townshend loves to hear himself talk...

[mattc752]

@asmorgan88 he's pete townshend though......if he wants to hear himself tlk, very well then

[r0cker1992]

hendrix rocks

[retrophillysoul]

Does anyone know where to find Hugh Masekela's performance (The Healing Song) at Monterey Pop? Just saw it on VH1...amazing.

[wilddrummerman1967]

O.K. I have to be politically correct here: Jimi blew them off the stage. Yes. Oh, never mind Mama Cass's statement about stealing the show. Somebody might learn something. Don't mention anything about history or chronology. It should be revised to bolster downtrodden Jimi's image.

[wilddrummerman1967]

That's when Jimi called Pete a cracker, huh? Go Jimi!

[wrsawy]

This would have been amazing. The who tearing apart equipment, followed by Jimi doing the fire ritual thing. Freaking awesome. The Who and Jimi ruled that show for sure.

[whosnext166]

to be a fly on the wall in that dressing room all those legends

[lawchihei]

@whosnext166 and a lot better if were killed by Jimi's hand.

[maimere]

All Hail Pete

[Mr27MojoRising]

gotta love clapton, i wonder when that interview was.

[1960jack]

jimi and pete on one stage! WOW!

[organizedblues]

i wouldnt wanna go on after neither one of the bands... but i agree wit pete, i definetly wouldnt follow jimi

[xavierslowhand]

I agreem i wouldnt like to follow any of em 2, its like in a Doors show, Pete told Jim "now try to top that"

[Omiewise65]

fantastic , my god !!

[Omiewise65]

Dear god !!loveit

[RLW1967]

Pete Towshend was jealous of Jimi's playing, period.

[alvin01]

@RLW1967 Townshend admitted quite frequently to feeling inferior to Jimi & Claptons lead playing(& Jeff Beck) ,on several occasions. He wrote such great material, was an equal musician in many other ways to any of them, Im sure he got over it.
