Pete Townshend on The Beatles

There's nobody in rock that gives better answers than Pete Townshend. Let's go back to 1967 where Pete (in the above video) discusses the British music scene and the impact of The Beatles.

In another interview - which is from 1995 and one that I cannot find on YouTube but was an extra on the 2008 DVD, TCT at the Royal Albert Hall - Pete talks about how he and Eric Clapton were invited over to listen to Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with The Beatles and their manager Brian Epstein. Pete claimed that he and Clapton were the first ones outside of The Beatles to hear the album from start to finish.
