The Who - My Generation - Woodstock

[FrequentlyFried]

it's funny because I listen to this with headphones and you can hear people yelling SMASH IT PETER ..and stuff like that. That is exactly what Hendrix hated. He played behind his back, with his teeth, smashed the guitar, humped the amp..he did more gimmicks than anyone and he said he hated when people were just coming to see this guy act crazy instead of being there for the music and then it being just a natural reaction.

[nowhereluke]

Pactater, I read in a book that they sent someone to retrieve the guitar!!! not really rock ....

[FrequentlyFried]

yea it's not as cool once you know that..on the new dvd you can see a guy with the sg on the left side of the screen but that shot isn't in this version..and some guy on another video is claiming he has it..haha it would have landed in the photographers pit thing. Not really rock is right..I always get that contrived vibe from The Who..Hendrix talked about doing gimmicks and how eventually he hated people just wanting to see that instead of really listening and it should be spur of the moment.

[tatethompson1234]

@nowhereluke Yeah Pete got it back! Neck was fine on it, and used it for about another year before he smashed it

[AlecEntwistle]

Fantastic.

[ENTREELCENTENO]

theres just one idion taht watch the video

[illiniman34]

the ox rules!

[RackliffeHoltRacette]

its a shame how they destroyed instruments. at the time it was ok but now every guitar they ever destroyed would have been worth thousands now. plus they were mighty fine guitars nonetheless

[spacepatrolman]

@RackliffeHoltRacette TOWNSEND SHOULD BE LOCKED UP IN JAIL FOR ATTACKING ABBIE HOFFMAN AND FOR WATCHING CHILD PORNAGRAPHY

[PaintedSidewalk]

the singer kinda looks like robert plant in his early days at first glance

[victorwhogo]

@PaintedSidewalk at this time, robert plant was smocking grass in a tree

[FrequentlyFried]

@victorwhogo HAHAHA Robert was WAILING. Search August 18 1969 Toronto or Zeppelin lewisville International Speedway for video of zeppelin from august 31 they would have KILLED!

[pactater]

Where is the guitar that he threw in to the audience?

[6378962ROCK]

that's my true generation!!! not today's bullshit!!!! sex n' drugs n' rock ' roll all the way through baby!!!!

[iknowuriders]

look in the dictionary for showstopper...The Who

[cookmoore]

They were only getting old by four years after the song was released :)

[arlichar11]

i like the who.. but not roger daultry.. this is good example, he phoned this performance in... boooo!

[geovanny1313]

@arlichar11 its all about having fun dude :)

[arlichar11]

@geovanny1313 right.. he didnt seem to be having any, and his lack of enthusiasm would be a downer on fun...for the fans..

[LesIzzmore]

WATCH THIS ALL THE WAY TO THE END FOR ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR HERO MOMENTS IN HISTORY.

[jayvegas69]

i was there , unbelievble

[surykatoolinkinpark]

at what momment does the guitarrist smahs the guy with the guitar??

[jbassman666]

@surykatoolinkinpark it was after pinball wizard but they were changing the film in the cameras so there isnt any footage of it but if you search up woodstock abbie hoffman incident you can get the audio

[4270hendrix]

I love watching them go from the Ed Sullivan Show to this. The change in just appearance and stage antics is insane, but great music all the same.

[ELMOSORIGINAL]

this is soo cool.

<3 The Who!

Long Live Woodstock

[zepps88]

Pete Townshend HATED woodstock. He even hit a guy the head with his guitar and pushed him off stage.

[rondoliomercutio]

@ClassicCult ..... dude. this was the best festival ever.

[BloodViper0999]

dude he ripped that guitar a fuckin new one.. threw it out into the crowd ever.. there was one happy hippie out there who ever grabbed that! LOL

[phallystorm]

Thats Funny, I can see Pete running down the street in SOHO with an electric Guitar he had just robbed off the wall of a Music Store. I can see his long legs furiously striding trying to elude the Music store owners chasing him.(That's a Fact) Pete was Crazy!!!) LONG LIVE WOODSTOCK 40 YEARS, and LONG LIVE THE BLOODY WHO>>>Long Live ROCK

[greenie85]

so who's got the guitar?

[coolestpyro]

ever realize theres never a shot of the bassist

[eliottelescorielese]

Yes, I said it yesterday, Entwistle never appears...

[ejdbk]

yeah,bassists are a litlle neglected

[ejdbk]

yeah,bassists are neglected,i will learn bass to join a band,but i dont care about ego,the band is more important than that

[randypagan]

they started playing at like 4am.

[randypagan]

roger daltry has a pretty bad stutter here. he must have been nervous......

[thecheeseitman]

or reeaally high

[themicroCut]

thats how the song is sung

[randypagan]

LOL. i know.

[bumpyjjeans]

The song is written to sound like a stammering teenager. Daltrey does that deliberately. Duh.

[randypagan]

lol. i know. i was kidding.

[Roughtonone]

That is just epic, love the ending to.

[jhcvvee]

Pete is clearly stoned out of his mind, still he pulls out a great performance.

[Basijokas]

Crazy

[Basijokas]

nesamone

[elmntsk8er610]

[rockerchic013]

it's funny... someone slipped LSD into all their drinks before they came on so they were trippin hard and yet they still sounded amazing live. talk about beyond talent... the who were phenomenal

[MacRocks713]
