In my now long life, with so much music behind us, I've always come back to Pete as my North Star. Jim, the kid across the street was a year older than me, and had parents that worked all day. They had one of those big wood console stereos and jimmy would drag it out to their front porch and crank it up. This was early summer, 1970. I was but 15. An empty vessel. He put on the just released Live at Leeds. A young man ain't got nuthin' in the world these days indeed. We listened over and over, closely examining those papers and photos and poster that came with the album. Ears were tuned to a new frequency, a new note. Distortion, somehow pure in its wildness, fundamentally changed us. Live at Leeds was like nothing else, then or since. But you know that. Arriving far into the future, we have accumulated gifts from Pete for well over 50 years. So many songs and stories. And so many people he introduced us to; Mary Anne, Ray High and Rastus, Captain Walker and his brother Ernie, the Acid Queen and the Hawker, Ace Face and Jimmy and The Godfather, the Seeker, Lilly and her pictures, Mr. Davidson who never rang, Happy Jack on the Isle of Man, and Sally who will take your hand, the Slip Kid, the brothers that got tattoos, people that seem so obsessed with the morning, Ivor the engine driver, Jeanie who wouldn't wear slit skirts and the kids that were alright, and that guy that won't take under 100 English Pounds for that bus. Pete has always given us more than he received. The best we ever had. Thank You.
You are right. PETE TOWNSHEND MUSICAL GENIUS. I HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS SINCE HE WROTE QUADROPHENIA. JUST LOOK AT HIS WORK. TOMMY AND WHO'S NEXT THAN QUADROPHENIA. WHITE CITY EMPTY GLASS. I COULD KEEP GOING ON AND ON WITH HIS WORK. PETE TOWNSHEND MUSICAL GENIUS. NOTHING MORE TO BE SAID.
Very nice! Actually Pete had a tendency to do this onstage throughout his career.The night I saw the Who,he stopped the show quite a few times to reminisce and joke with the crowd and the other members of the band.What a true musical and poetic genius this man is.He'll never be equaled.The consummate rock star if there ever was one.
+Tony Suss Agreed. Even before watching I thought to myself, Story Tellers was made for Pete Townshend. He loves to tell stories. Honestly I could listen to him all day without the music. He is very funny. I find blunt honest people to be the most engaging and funny.
Can I ask anybody to upload the 1st part somewhere else (mega.nz for example) because it's blocked in my country and I'd like to have the full performance in the best quality possible and the version from this user looks like the best I can find!
Pete as ever as witty and nuts As he always has done over & over For is mortale souls here on Our not so well shared Mother Earth. Thanks pete for4 the wonderfull notes we shared together where ever we have met in hum on the atlantic Ocean in a small nacht Contest by the firm in medemblik, The netherlands, at your former home the day after the first Live-aid concert conducted by Bobbi Geldoff, at Ahoy Rotterdam in 1997 where my mother Throwed A book for his birthday on the stage,Write me a note and he did in the lifehouse chronicles I happily bought from his own shop At Eel Pie .the last time we met outside the Ahoy Rotterdam area On the otherside?! We chat away with me and my little white Maltezer Musja ( wich is actualy A Russian name for a cat?! Hey, Don't know how She manager , Probably gave that her friendly woman the hungry look, yeah Funny doggy.well anyway pete Thank you for all the wonderfull memories , I carry them in my heart, Always travel light notes The witty ones by Roy ván Zadel
Beautiful song and Pete as ever brilliant, but the engineers need to have a look at themselves. The compressor is pumping man!! Squashed as fuck. Ruins the whole thing, but what a song! If I remember rightly this was on the album he did with plonk x

I would dare to say ,he surpasses the creativy of the classiclal masters. They were the foundation of what we are listening today.
This is one of my favorite song Love you Pete 💙✌️🇬🇧
Incredible!!! Absolutely loved this. Thank you SO much for sharing it. What a genius Pete is.
Like Bob Dylan before him, Pete has the gift of turning a fairly simple musical idea into a profound and moving song. Long may he run!
Agree. But he has also complex musical ideas! All of them are great. He is a big artist. One of the greatest.
Classical musician.
Thanks for uploading these. Wish there was more.
Thank you sooo much for these!!!!
I think Pete should do a speaking tour like Henry Rollins does, it would be hilarious.
Amen to that !!
Tu parle d,un musiciscien brilliant. A top of the line musician, same league as the beatles, zep.
Awesome thanks I said Sawadee enough I think. Anyway Anyhow the way I feel or something like that.🤠
