    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here’s something quite rare; the pilot of A Whole Scene Going, a show for teens that aired on British TV in 1965. This episode features fashion predictions for 1966, advice for young lovers from Lulu, a segment on the up and coming skateboard craze, footage of The Who, and an interview with a very cynical, sarcastic and witty Pete Townshend.

      @Jon Applegate:
      Yeah, I've noticed that in almost every vid where they were forced to mime. It seems to be a characteristic of performers who truly value spontaneity. Iggy Pop absolutely hated miming and would purposely screw up to express his frustration with having to fake it.

    • @retardedcore
      @retardedcore 6 років тому +6

      He probably argued and the producers said something like "You'll look foolish if you don't go along with the song!" To which Keith probably said quietly to himself "I'll show you how to be bloody foolish"

    I love the way Pete expresses himself: very sincere and angry, maybe cynical but he prefers to say things the way he sees them rather than appeal and please other people's expectations.

      Indeed......that must've been for the time highly refreshing , since most pop artists played the fake smiley media game...
      Although...just like The Stones playing the "bad boys" Townshend was also acting to a certain extent , to be that "new breed" of honest pop star, .....Some things that he says here ....his "hate" for anything pop or his own musical output sounds like being obnoxious for obnoxious' sake. Townshend was a lover of good pop music. With his "quality" rant he contradicted himself.....Interesting clip ofcourse.

    • @EDAHSC

      True, but at 20 years old he's just saying what's coming into his head, some of it isn't articulate at all. Such as the comments on quality.

    that clip where PT talks of doing something 'big' on the stage and a thousand geezers go ''aaahhhh!!'' is perfectly placed in 'the Kids are Alright', because it's right after he bashes the plywood stage w/ his Gibson SG in front of 400,000 kids at WOODSTOCK. brilliant editing. this thing is new to me. love it!! they really could rock before a lot of big rock bands even had record deals. it truly is maximum R&B. unfortunately, it is lip synced ,and there'e a piano in it, which is absent here. probably Nicky Hopkins
