On May 5, 2012 Pete Townshend made an appearance, performing at the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards honoring his fellow creator of The Who's Tommy, Des McAnuff.
Pete performs "Pinball Wizard".
Pete is photographed with the members of the band Rush who were there to receive an award.
Rush were huge fans, I’m sure it was a thrill for them to meet Pete.
Maked?
Canada's National Arts Centre. I was working there at the time, I did not know Pete was there as well!
I wonder if Pete went to the Lifeson house?
Neil's speech at this show was great. except there weren't any "blah's"...
A bunch of very clever people 
My two bands to see live
My two most favorite bands and musicians!!
Awesome picture
Eminent From Baby 🧲🎱🧲🎱

That's the concert I never saw...as they were due to play the the Point Deput Dublin ..but was cancelled!!...but I never returned those tickets!...still have them.....
Went to the show in 1979 that had the movie trailer , for my money , Quadrophenia is the best rock and roll movie ever released. Great story great acting and awesome music. This is the album that puts the Who head and shoulders above all other concept album bands.
I was there!
Missed that 97 version/tour but the performance of Quadrophenia I saw in 2013 blew me away 🎸
Das Konzert war super !
Da war ich dabei👍💛
Album of the day
On May 5, 1981 John completes the recording of his solo LP Too Late The Hero at Ramport Studios, London
My copy that Twinkle signed for me
Talk Dirty is a great song. I also like too late the hero.
I do like Entwistles bassplaying but Im not so fond of this album. The sound is to dry and doesnt sound as fat and rich as a Who album.
Talk Dirty was better than anything he had on the last couple of Who albums. He had a couple of killer tunes on Who Are You, though.
I always liked this album. Good songs. Fallen Angel is the best.
Purchased day of release at ‘ Our Price’ great album.
Great album
I got all his solo albums
My favorite of John's. Love the rocking track "I'm Coming Back"
Joe Walsh on guitar
Just prompted me to give it a spin. Got the picture disk title single too
His best solo album. By far.
I had forgotten about this one. I must listen to it.
I was just listening to this album
I have the boxed set coming May 10th. It will be nice to replace my crappy worn out stuff and have all that bonus stuff.
It looks like a cover of a romance book.
1972 Whistle Rymes.
Dejligt album, nyder det stadig ind i mellem
I think the title track Is Amazing
Why can't you talk dirty? I like it... when you talk dirty
The Ox

Concert of the day
On this date in 1967 The Who played at Sporthallen in Eskilstuna, Sweden.
Apparently The Who's performance was cut down to just five numbers because Pete was unhappy about the stage set-up as they are forced to perform on a small stage meters above the heads of the audience.
