Episode 7 Later... with Jools Holland

Welcome to Later and welcome to # Time, it trickles

# And time goes quicker # And oh, my love, don't forsake me

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# Pockets full of stones

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# And, oh, poor Atlas was a beast of a burden

# You've been holding on a long time

# And, oh, poor Atlas was a beast of a burden

# You've been holding on a long time

# And don't listen only

# And the ships are left to rust

# That's what the water gave us

# So lay me down

# Let the only sound be the overflow

# Pockets full of stones

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# Cos next will be your loved ones But return them in exchange for you

# But would you have it any other way?

# Would you have it any other way?

# You couldn't have it any other way

# Cos she's a cruel mistress and the bargain must be made

# But oh, my love, don't forget me But I let the water take me

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# Pockets full of stones

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# Lay me down Let the only sound be the overflow

# Yeah-ay, yeah-ay

# Yeah-ay, yeah-ay

Wonderful to have them back here, Florence and The Machine.

We have an incredible selection of guests this evening. I'm delighted

to say the legendary, from New York, Mary J Blige is here! Welcome back

to the studio the talent that is Brett Anderson.

Lovely to see you. An amazing new voice with an

amazing guitar. We welcome Bombino. And one of the greats of all time.

Pete Townshend. Now please welcome # First light this morning

sounds from west Africa. Give it up CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Bombino! So,

Quadrophenia one of the great MoD opera and a fantastic piece of

music is being rereleased. I'm delighted to say that Pete

Townshend is here! Very good to see you. This is a fantastic work. Very

fantastic work. Let me ask, steady, please be seated. It's all right.

Good. Let me ask first of all, what inspired you to write faud row FINA

in the first place? It's a bit of a long story -- Quadrophenia in the

first place? It's a bit of a long story. The band was a bit lost.

We'd had Tommy and then we'd had an album called Who's Next, based on a

more ambitious idea, which had failed. I zooded -- decided to go

back to our roots. Our roots were in west London and we started our

first gigs in the Shepherd's Bush area. There was a big mod movement

back then. I went back, in a sense, to reroute the band, reconnect with

the past. In the end, it became a story about a boy and our audience

really, who I called Jimmy. Very good name for it. It's a great

story. It's a fantastic piece of music and a fantastic story as well.

It's interesting how the two things developed. It's 40 years,

unbelievably, 40 years since it was first released. Do you think it's

still relevant, like it was when you did it? I don't know. I think

what's interesting about it for me is that it's not just that it

worked very well for me as a composer. I was happy with it. I

had complete control of it. I managed to land it well. What I

wanted to do was create a piece of music in which the listener could

put themselves inside it and the vehicle that I chose for that

journey that the listener would have was a boy who had a multiple

personality disorder. So he had four aspects to his personality,

which he recognised inside the four members of the band. In a sense, he

was a nutter. What was delightful about it is that when the album

came out was how so many people identified with this boy and I had

all kinds of people, varied people, from Cabinet ministers even come

and say, "I grew up with Quadrophenia. It helped me through

a difficult part of my life." It's become a universal story. Every

teenage boy goes through this stuff. When you think about The Who, what

made them great? There was an interesting chemistry with the four

members of the band. We were all very, very different. I came out of

art school with a bit of a manifesto, which was an

autoinstructive manifesto. It wasn't just about smashing guitars.

There's a wonderful scene from Tony Palma's film, I say "The Who are a

band and we're chopping away at our own legs." The idea was that we

would explode and then I would become a painter. Unfortunately we

got a hit and unfortunately I got a cheque, for having a hit. Van vas -

- canvas in the bin. That's right. I was going to stay with the band

until we came apart. We didn't come apart. We all had different needs.

We all liked different music in a way. We had some common stuff but

we were very different. I think that difference worked well for us

in the long-term. We have some lovely footage of The Who. Let's

have a look. Let's walk down memory # Inside, out

# Leave me alone # Nowhere is home

# Inside, outside APPLAUSE

Marvellous, The Who! Was it true that you were banned from the BBC

after that performance? I think we were, yeah. We kind of, I got very

angry because it was a, it was a musician's union strike. We were

called scabs because we performed live. I got very angry about that.

Sir Jimmy Savile was on that. I remember him coming up to me after

and saying, because I smashed up a guitar, I kind of Jimmy came up

after and said "There's no need for that lad. No need for that. No need

for that. Happy memories. What are you playing for us? I think I'm

playing a song called quad ra phone, which is -- Quadrophenia. I think

it's called Drowned. Can I check, is he still banned? No, OK. The ban

is over. Thank you very much, the wonderful, amazing, Pete Townshend.

Now I'm delighted to welcome back into the studio a talented fellow

indeed. He's here with a lovely new report, give it up for Brett

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you My Morning Jacket. Before that, we

love Florence and The Machine. Marvellous to have Florence and The

Machine here, yes? APPLAUSE

Yes. I'm delighted to say we're going to chat with somebody who is

performing in the show. One of my favourites of all time actually.

I'm delighted to welcome Mary J Blige.

APPLAUSE You're here on a whirlwind tour.

You have My Life Two record coming out. It's brilliant. I've heard a

couple of things from it: Thank you. What your -- was your inspiration?

The inspiration was the efluegs of the first one. The first My Life

album, we were going through so much, going through so much pain

and didn't understand what life was about. We've grown and evolved so

much, there's eight albums in between. We've grown and evolved,

so I wanted people to understand and remind them how far we've come.

My Life One, in 1994, was your second LP. Things presumably have

improved a great deal since then? Absolutely. Life was horrible

during the first album. My fans and I, when I released that album, four

million people, I didn't know four million people were hurting like I

was hurting. They became my fans. We started a movement. We have been

growing and evolving together ever since. I felt like it was important

right now for them to know we've done a great deal of work on

ourselves. We've come a long way. We understand that life is not life

without trial. We cannot be strong if we're nol challenged with

something in life. That's what the album consists of. It's great. It's

a celebration, but at the same time it's very deep because life is

still life, no matter how happy you are, you are going to be challenged.

There's always something. Always. We're going to play something from

your record in a mo.. Tell us about the song. This is called Need

Someone to Love. It's like me singing to my younger self in so

much pain. It's like I was looking in the mirror saying "You need

someone to love you". It's a heart- felt song. It sucks the air out of

the room. It's quiet. And you're playing with me. It's beautiful. I

think everybody needs somebody to love them. You're absolutely right

there. Thank you very much, Mary J Blige! We're going to see more of

Mary J in a moment. APPLAUSE

So now, over in the middle of the room, I'm delighted to welcome a

brand new talent, somebody we haven't had on the show before.
