- Quotes
Self - Interviewee: [Pete Townshend] I said to Jimi, I said, "Fuck it, man, we're not going to follow you on." So he said, "Well, I'm not going to follow you on." So, I said, "Listen, we are not going to follow you on and that is it. You know. As far as I'm concerned, you know, we were ready to go on now, our gears going to be there, its the end of it, you know." And, there was a certain look in his eye and he got on a chair and he played some amazing guitar, just standing on a chair in the dressing room. Janis Joplin was there. Brian Jones. Eric. And me and a few other people just standing around. And then he got down off the chair and just said, turned around to me, and said, "If I'm going to follow you, I'm going to pull all the stops."
