Four of the key bands from the 1960s British Invasion were represented Friday in Anaheim when the Who’s lead guitarist and main songwriter, Pete Townshend, was given the Les Paul Award at the annual TEC Awards ceremony, part of the annnual NAMM music products convention.
Townshend was serenaded by Eric Burdon of the Animals, who sang “The Seeker,” while Paul McCartney put together a video greeting saluting his longtime friend and fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member. Not on camera but also sending in a letter of congratulations was Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger.
Additionally, guitarist Laurence Juber, who has collaborated with Paul McCartney and Townshend, played an acoustic version of the “Who’s Next” cornerstone song “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” Julia Fordham sang a pair of songs form Townshend’s long-shelved, belatedly completed “Lifehouse” rock opera, “The Song Is Over” and “Pure and Easy,” and 19-year-old L.A. newcomer Bree Kennedy handled “I Can’t Explain,” the Who’s first hit.
