It wasn't just about flashing lights and pinball machines blowing up and things like that. It was about using encores, bringing back the good songs and using techniques that I knew about from rock performance.
Pete Townshend

People try to put us down (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation) Hope I die before I get old.

Tough boys running the streets, come a little closer. Rough toys under the sheets, nobody knows her.
Pete Townshend
Image
We are musicians, entertainers. We can do it. We have the right tools. No worries.
