Pete said Woodstock was one of the worst gigs they ever played.

Now if you want to see The Who at their best, check them out at the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival.

He said that because they arrived at the site 16 hours BEFORE they played ( rain caused delays , etc...) and their drinks were spiked with acid . Actually , The Who didn’t really want to do Woodstock in the first place , but a hefty ( for the time ) $ 25,000 contract enticed them . The Who got half of that dough .
