THE UNDERESTIMATOR — Pete Townshend joining The Clash for their...
Pete Townshend joining The Clash for their encore at Top Rank in Brighton, England on Jan. 1980, as snapped possibly by Robin Tate.
As the story goes, the Who’s guitarist went backstage and asked the boys if he could jam up with them later and when the time for their encore came, he got on stage with them, ready to rock on with fists pumping the air but no sound came from his guitar, since Johnny Green, the band’s road manager, didn’t want to to set up gear for him and had handed him one of Mick’s old guitars with a duff lead, according to Green’s book.
After getting a working guitar, he finally joined the band playing “Garageland”, “Armagideon Time”, “English Civil War” and “Louie Louie.” -- theunderestimator-2
