Keith Moon had passed a few years before the Who came into the area. Kenney Jones was drumming for them by the time I caught the show. Entwhistle is gone now and the band is a pale shadow of what they once were.
One amusing bit I read recently, it may have been a link on Bill’s blog, I don’t remember, organizers of London’s Summer Olympics reached out to the Who management, asking them to prevail upon Moon to rejoin his band mates for the opening ceremonies. Now THAT would be a hell of a show. It just shows how clueless these people are. They know little, and probably care less, about rock music. They just want something to attract people to the show, whether it be television or in stadium.
Still, it was a great concert back then.

I never got to see them. I came close in 1974 or so, they were in the area, but at the last minute couldn’t get tickets.

The Who sound as good now as they did back in 1974. Just ask CSI on CBS.

In the way I discovered music, I didn’t hear much of the Who before I’d heard other and much harder rocking bands. That meant I didn’t really like the Who at first. Over the years I’ve come to appreciate them more.
