Woodstock Anniversary

It's the 40th Anniversary of this monumental, historical event and what better excuse than to air a little of my favourite band on my blog.



Here's a clip of Pete Townshend, spiked with acid (as they all were), smashing a guitar around political activist Abbie Hoffman. Hoffman interrupted them at the conclusion of Pinball Wizard, mid-way through their Rock Opera, Tommy. Earlier in the show Townshend had already booted a cameraman for getting too close to Roger Daltrey.

Easily the most exciting, dangerous and talented live band there's ever been.

Woodstock: The Director's Cut airs tonight on BBC 4 at 9pm.
