[@leeg8394]

I always wondered how much money John Entwistle saved by not destroying his equipment

[@rosssmith2605]

Lee G I read somewhere it was about 12 pounds. He had a heroin habit to support or it would have been more.

[@thxcuz]

John was not about saving money. The main reason they would tour in the 90s is because john was bad with money

[@plasticage2085]

he didn't destroy his guitars, he blew the toilet's hotels with a cherry bombs a lot with Keith

Saw The Who in 1967 on one of those silly package tours they used to do in the U.K. where each band would be do a “turn” for about 20 minutes each. The Who were top of the bill but ran over their allotted time and the management pulled the curtains on them. Townsend ripped the curtains open and proceeded to smash his guitar all over the orchestra pit. My brother and me looked at each other with our jaws on the floor. This was my first live gig and one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The impression they left on me as a 15 year old kid is buried deep in my psyche.

~ Despite some crappy editing (No shots of John Entwistle during the bass solo, putting in a visual segment from another song), this stands up as one of the best clips of The Who on stage. This is pure energy, embodied in a three minute clip. Absolutely love this.

[@georgeprice4212]

John saw it and said the footage was of Substitute

[@DV-zv4ox]

There is a real punk ethos to this performance, in particular. You can see why so many of the punk bands from the 70's and 80's drew from The Who for influence.

[@RedArrow73]

Even the Smothers Brothers crew figured it out by the second stanza of the solo.

[@Wolfpaw754]

Still doesn't beat jimi, also Pete failed to get any feedback, while with jimi its almost like he could control it it's that good, even when he set his guitar on fire, with no movement from the guitar it changes tune

This is such a prime example of raw emotion and raw energy that no other group had at that time. I remember watching this as a kid and being slightly terrified at the display of auto destruction. Then I got into my teens and it became eye candy. A visual outlet. Talk about clearing the area and making yourself understood and noticed. Any other group that took after them always looked staged and predictable. The Who were always unpredictable and always on the verge of combustion. The "in your face" energy alone was unreal. To this very day, they're my favorite group to watch.

The Who four totally individual and talented guys who came together and created a sound only original too them. In their time they created the Rock opera besides being the best live act, the Loudest too, first to use a laser act in their on stage routine. Their music hasn't aged and its rooted in an era that will never be surpassed in my view.
