Pete Townsend along with John Bonham, John Paul Jones and David Gilmore played on 2 songs on the last Wings album Back To The Egg that came out in 1979 . They also all played with Paul and Wings in the last Wings concerts in December 1979.


Pete also along with Phil Collins who is also a big Beatles fan since he was 13 in the concert scene in the Beatles film A Hard Day's Night, played on Paul's 1986 album Press To Play.


And I have found about 100 former Beatles haters on different message boards who are now big Beatles fans,many call them   The Greatest Rock Band Ever and most say they now think they were brilliant song writers. I didn't communicate with these people, but they said in their posts that they hadn't even heard most of their songs and albums,and had inaccurate misperceptions   of them like the   ridiculous one that they ever were a "boy band." Which besides knowing   even most   of their music and   knowing their history knows is totally false.

Last year a musician posted on some message board   about the new John Lennon biography, and he said watch The Beatles Anthology   video series and learn how truly immensely talented   this band was.


Most people don't hate The
Beatles in the first place and people don't usually go from hating a band to loving   them, so it just goes to show how great and timeless their music really is/was!


I once found a post a few years ago of a 35 year old musician in Jamaica who said on his blog that when he was younger and a big Who fan he used to think The Beatles were overrated, but that he did a 300 degree turn around and he said he now truly believes that The Beatles were the greatest rock band   ever.
