My awareness of Bill also began with Great Performances showing of ' In regard of flight ' on HBO in the early 80s. Already a fan of Vaudeville history , humor, music, and stage effects...... I fell in love with the man's talent and values immediately. I recognized him in Popeye, and as Mr Noodle, but was otherwise unaware of his amazing range of celebrated performances. My sincere thanks to you for enlightening me. I must see ' Interstellar' at the earliest opportunity.

I liked Tommy, but Quadrophenia (and the tune, Naked Eye) is what turned me into a Who fan. In '75, I turned 18, graduated HS, and could buy beer. I saw Jaws and the Frampton "Comes Alive" tour in the summer, but the highlight of the year was seeing The Who with Mooney in November. Great year! I saw the Tommy tour twice in '89 and once again in the early 2000s, before John passed. RIP Mooney and John. Thank You!

Wow. You lucky bastard. I saw Pete and Roger back about 10 years ago in Nashville with my dad and it was AMAZING. Pete didn't jump around as much but Roger DID scream!!! He sounded just as good as he did back in the day. Quad is what turned me on to them too. I was introduced to it back 20 years ago.

Great tribute! I’ve been a Who fan since high school, listening to Quadrophenia and watching The Kids Are Alright hundreds of times on VHS. When I learned to play the guitar, I got a whole new appreciation of Pete’s talent. In interviews he becomes an insufferable blowhard but I forget all that when I listen to his music.

Michael Crawford getting shut out of his house by his cat, then getting arrested for an attempted B and E; one of the most funny episodes of "Some Mothers do Ave Em," with M.C. playing the part of the son, Frank Spenser, who can't do anything that doesn't end with disaster.

I was a kid when i first heard The Who. It would have been mid-70s and it would have been the 60s singles, which i thought were great and fit well with current Top 40 music in UK of the time. When i started to learn to play guitar they were songs i gravitated to. The original Live at Leeds was fantastic, moreso than the CD version which came decades later, despite some tracks being chopped up. Who's Next blew my mind and Quadrophenia is the last great album they made (except for Odds n' Sods and Rarities. Some of Pete's solo albums are good, my fave being Chinese Eyes.

Disagree. Entwhistle's bass gave Pete's music edge, just like Roger's voice gave Pete's music bite, but if you listen to demos for Tommy and Quad, the music written and played by Pete fundamentally is not different from the final studio cut.

@@JuniusPete is a legend, one of two all time greatest singer songwriters in rock. Pete can do it all. Producer, author, business man, can sing and write hit songs all on his own and perform at the same time and can play any instrument at the professional level. Has longevity and still performs today. Pete Townshend and Paul McCartney.

Only 2 men in rock can do it all. That is Paul McCartney and Pete Townshend. Not taking away from other very talented musicians but you can't give me another all around musician. Take for example Jimmy Page, great guitar player, half songwriter, he can't sing or write hit songs all on his own.

I like that - from the beginning you scroll up, it starts with that subtle smile he has. That was what I always remember about him. My very favourite of his was Godspell and I just love the 'transformation' in the fountain from this gangly guy in swim trunks and then his gentle voice when he starts singing and he becomes so beautiful.

I saw 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝑅𝑒𝑔𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑙𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 on PBS in 1983 or '84, and it's still the most wonderfully hilarious thing I've ever seen. I never watched CSI, but from the brief clip here, I think Bill's character is scarier than Anthony Hopkin's Lector; not as over-the-top cartoonish, movie-monster a performance. Might be worth looking into.
