Its so wrong that people are saying 'they all were high while playing this'

Get your facts right before commenting on the GODS of rock. In 'Amazing Journey', Pete said that he started experimenting with substance after Tommy, while recording of Whos next. Thats because he was a sincere follower of Avatar Meher Baba who was against drugs. This is the high of music. Even Moon had said that at the time of woodstock, he hadnt done any 'artifical' stuff

@vivek17s2004 Well actually the story is that someone put stuff in their drinks so yeah they were high while playing this but it wasn't their fault hahaha

Power chords, crushing drum beats and a voice instantly recognizable the Who will live on forever in our hearts and minds.

Jammamu, did you know Woodstock was supposed to be a sort of hippy peace and love thing?!! Your comments seem almost ironic - what are you doing here? Shouldnt you be listening to the collective works of Adolf Hitler or something?!!

@toddfoll If you don't mind me asking- what was it really like?

Some reports say it was no food, rain, mud, no proper toilet facilities whereas some say it was an Aquarian gathering of Utopian peace (but that sounds like bollocks to me).

Can you elaborate- as I've never met anyone (even over the internet) who was at the festival.

pete was not lying when he said the backing vocals were mostly shit lol

@hvh823iow

My understanding is that Pete was spiked with a compound known as DOM, aka "STP" which is a psychedelic but lasts 24hr instead of 10-12hr like LSD.

id honestly giveanything to back to the 60s-70s to see the Who one of the best rock bans ever

@vivek17s2004 No "artifical" stuff ?... that's just a smart way to avoid the question, weed, hasch, shrooms, opium and more are none "artificial" stuff !!! They are here given to us by Mother Nature and even animals are using them !... Just be moderated and go by the "rules", follow the rituals that goes with each and everyone of them, don't let the drugs take control over your life !... or you'll live HELL !... THAT WAS JUST MY LITTLE PIECE OF ADVICE AND ONLY MY OPINION !

[toddfoll]

this is so much bullshit. I was at Woodstock and heard every minute of The Who. The point is to enjoy the music, who gives a shit whether anyone was high or not. Plenty of people were and plenty weren't, it just didn't matter. It still doesn't matter, the music is what matters. Granted Woodstock meant a great deal more to those of us alive then but just sit back, forget the neighbors, forget the rent, forget politics and just groove on the music. I only wish we could share how it felt, sorry.

Townsend said someone handed him some LSD-laced orange juice backstage before he went on and he spat it out when he tasted the chemical. Didn't know one could do that with a drug as subtle as LSD but that's what he said.

I love the old vintage rock sound

@vivek17s2004 Moon ate amphetamines like kids eat candy
