One of my favorite clips from the late 1960’s. I don’t care what your politics is, this is just plain cool.
A bit of tech stuff here; it is obvious from this clip and it has been verified, that Pete Townsend’s Guitar amp was malfunctioning during this performance. It kept cutting in and out. So, he just trashed the guitar and closed the show. Jimi Hendrix saw what he did and took it even further. Needless to say Jimi’s sounded better.
Bonus Video! Here’s Jimi’s “upstaging” of Pete at the end of his performance at the same show:
Looks on the faces of the people, after Jimi destroys his guitar are absolutely priceless. 😀
