Welcome to my Web Site. This is my personal collection of Who memorabilia. Pictured on this site are a variety of stage played guitars, basses & drums. The poster pages show posters, handbills and programs spanning from 1964 to the present. The awards pages showcase some of the rarest and most desirable Gold Records, both for The Who and a variety of other artists. Although it's the music that really defines the artist, each piece of memorabilia represents a small fragment of time in their career. Whether it's the guitar that Pete played at the concert you were at, or the poster for the show, each piece of memorabilia is a tangible link to the past.  Click on the links above to check out photos of the collection.

Pete's Guitars> Updated Pictures of Pete playing SG onstage

This is a 1970 vintage Gibson SG that was owned and played by Pete Townshend  on the first leg of the 1971 U.S. tour. It was given by Pete to a guitarist who was a contemporary of Pete's by the name of John Turnbull. John Turnbull's band at that time was named  Bell & Arc and featured Graham Bell as the lead singer. Bel & Arc had an LP at the time and was the opening band on the first leg of the 1971 US tour. After his time in Bell & Arc John went on to play with Ian Dury and was an integral part of his band The Blockheads. This guitar was played throughout John's career and was used on a couple of Blockheads LP's. When I acquired it from him he wrote me a nice letter detailing his acquisition from Pete and stating that he was a little embarrassed by the fact that he had " Slept with the guitar for a couple weeks afterward."   Serial No.  969973

Displayed at the Rock & roll Hall of Fame from April of 1998 to January of 2007.

Many thanks to my pal Litgo for the photo of Pete playing the SG onstage.
