What Pete is talking about here resonates right up to today. In my experience younger audiences now go to see an artist 'live' and expect to hear the record, with the 'live' performance being a hybrid of live and recorded (sequenced) sounds, particularly with backing vocals, triggered drums, and other instrumentation that's not even there.

What Pete says about excitement and authenticity in 'imperfection', a 'lose' performance with perhaps some improvisation, offers audiences on-off experiences, never (ever) to be repeated. Anyone who doesn't like that really doesn't actually like music.

It's weird to hear anyone have to explain who Hendrix is. This interview must have taken place no later than spring of '67.

What Townsend said is definitely true of the Who. Their albums evolved and started to sound like their live shows. I saw them around 1972 and they were the clearest sounding live band at high volume I ever heard, and they sounded like the records. I never realized that they were taking their live sound and reverse engineering it into 33 1/3 speed sonic alien tech. In contrast, Led Zep usually sounded a lot different live than on the albums.
Perhaps Pete was talking about the Beatles who sounded very very close to their records.

The Who, before they were destroyed by their success.
