The Who

Garcia, in an 1981 Musician interview:
I think the Who are one of the few truly 
important architects of rock 'n' roll. Pete Townshend may be 
one of rock 'n' roll's rare authentic geniuses. And there's also
the fact that they're among our few surviving contemporaries. . . 
I'm just really glad they exist. 
Pete Townsend and the GD "Not Fade Away" 3/28/81 in Essen, Germany
Jerry and Bobby doing windmills a la Townsend during "Truckin,'"4/12/78 Cameron Indoor (Duke University).
5/31/92 in Vegas, Bobby and Steve Miller doing windmills during Baba O'Riley. The GD played Baba O'Riley 12 times (sung by Vince), mainly in the Spring and Summer of '92 (first: 5/19/93; last: 11/29/94). With the exception of 11/29/94, it was always an Encore song, played into Tomorrow Never Knows (a Beatles song).
