Pete Townshend Takes The Colbert Questionert
Pete Townshend Takes The Colbert Questionert YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert

Pete Townsend is unreal in this Colbert segment. Among many highlights is the story of an Owsley-fuelled out of body experience on the plane ride back from Monterey Pop. By a few minutes in, Colbert is beaming and in awe of what's happening on his show

the first time she said it kinda hurt me, as she knew it would, in part because I used to wear this shirt off and on when I was in college and into the mid to late 90s

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore.

If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

I was at that show and assure you as someone who still loves that song that had any of them musically quoted HSIN I would’ve lost my shit and told RMP all about it as soon as I possibly could. Anyway what you hear is simply a guitar effect by Trey akin to one deployed by Johnny Marr in HSIN.

name one of your (bullshit) tease suggestions that’s not been accepted in this thread and include a link and timing to the purported tease. One (1). Just one (1).

Screenshot of phishnet QT song history where the history reads in part β€œβ€¦ To date, The Siket Disc bellwether version of the song/track β€œQuadrophonic Toppling” has not been performed live on stage. And let's face it, it likely never will, because "it" was improvisational. That said, in 2022, Phish moved closer to performing "Quadrophonic Toppling" and, at least arguably, did in fact perform it, which is why it is noted in the setlist (as it is noted in the Cypress setlist). …

don’t forget the band’s storied history of fucking with their fans, such as with the recent live performance at MSG on 12/29 of the (improvised, studio) version of β€œQuadrophonic Toppling” on the Siket Disc that I thought would never happen and I’ve still not updated the history tinyurl.com/yc6v8t2a

^^^”…hope for A NEW ERA OF LIVE MUSIC.” (emphasis added) naming the 4.0 guitar the 4.0 guitar in scare quotes was a joke sure but not the remark re hope for a new era. Let’s not ignore the historical record just because we’re butthurt by the 4.0 nomenclature or era demarcation

that was in May 2021, and fwiw JDG Trey’s IG post referring to 4.0 concluded, β€œβ€¦The fact that this new guitar appeared during this downtime gives me hope for a new era of live music. I’ll play it with love and gratitude, from the first notes of the next live shows. β€˜The 4.0’ guitar!
Thank you Paul.”
