OK! That's it. I'm going home to the folks for a good ol' fashioned, hanky wrapped, and tied 'round the head British holiday. Glastonbury and Hyde Park? Good grief man; I'd be a right Charlie(no pun intended) to miss all that. Tally ho!

38 Years Ago: Keith Moon Joins Led Zeppelin Onstage
By Jeff Giles June 23, 2015 8:29 AM




Having John Bonham behind the kit already gave Led Zeppelin an edge over most other rock bands. Adding Keith Moon to the mix would have been simply unfair.

Yet that’s precisely what happened for a few tantalizing moments during Zeppelin’s stop at the Forum in Los Angeles on June 23, 1977, when the legendary Who drummer stepped out onstage to join Bonham and John Paul Jones in the rhythm section. As with much of what Moon did during his too-brief career, the whole thing seemed fairly informal, and he didn’t have his own kit; instead, he added bongos and tambourine before briefly sitting at Bonham’s drums.

The percussion summit, some of which is captured in the above footage, also included some of Moon’s trademark tomfoolery; aside from banging on stuff during the band’s set, he also tried stepping up to the mic to talk to the crowd, though singer Robert Plant had the sense to put a quick stop to Moon’s slurred emceeing. You can see more photos from this show at the band’s official site.

As Who and Zeppelin fans are aware, Moon’s stage visit was a long time coming; in fact, legend has it that Moon was the one who inspired Zeppelin’s name. Sadly, this show marked the end of an era: Moon would never appear on another U.S. stage, dying on September 7, 1978, and Bonham died a little more than two years later on September 25, 1980. Both drummers were known for their offstage antics and punishing lifestyles as much as for their incredible musical gifts — and they were both 32 at the time of their deaths.

Although I am a dyed in the wool,(although never sycophantic) Stones tragic, I absolutely love the Who. A nice little group from Sheperd's Bush, I have always felt that they were without question THE BEST live act going from 1968 to 1975. The entire band just let loose on stage.
A totally under rated guitar magician, the best bass player as far as keeping a good solid Rhythm with Moonie going, and one of the most, if not THE most dynamic, no shit, ballsy singers ever to let rip into a mic.
There onstage banter with the crowd was at times hilarious. 'Sounds like a flavoured chicken.' 'London, England.' they were just brilliant. And as for those polls in mag's like Rolling Stone for example; The best this and that over 25, 30, 40 years etc, Who's Next, Tommy, and My Generation are sadly either ignored,(to a degree) or relegated to some ridiculous spot way down the list. If Townshend had paid more attention to simple rock LPs, instead of trying to create these bloody follow ups to Tommy, they would be regarded,IMO as true challengers to the Beatles and the Stones. I thought English Boy was a diamond but, Psychoderelict was utter shit.
Still when they got it right, shit! They got it dead right.

50 Years Ago: Roger Daltrey Punched Keith Moon and Got Fired from the Who

By Corbin Reiff September 26, 2015


...
Steve Wood, Hulton Archive, Getty Images



With his flowing golden locks and winning smile, its hard to tell from the outside looking in, but Roger Daltrey is a man with a massive temper. In his younger years, when his anger spilled over, it usually meant the fists were coming out. That exact scenario happened on Sept. 26, 1965 and it almost meant the end of his time in the Who, before the band even really got off the ground.

At the time, guitarist Pete Townshend was feeling the pressure to live up to audience expectations to smash up his instrument at the conclusion of every gig while also upping the ante with each new song. Drummer Keith Moon certainly wasn’t helping either as he fostered a burgeoning affection for amphetamines. Daltrey found himself at increasing odds with both men, Moon for his wild behavior and Townshend for increasingly pushing him out of the spotlight.

Exacerbating the situation were a series of bad shows the band had been working through all throughout the back end of 1965. There was the gig with the overzealous fans who got ahold of Daltrey and pulled him into the crowd, injuring his back. Then there was the incident when the band’s van containing all of their gear was stolen. And then there was the concert in Denmark when after only a few minutes of playing, the audience stormed the stage and reportedly caused Ł10,000 worth of damage.

The situation came to a head during that tour of Denmark when Daltrey, finally fed up with Moon’s drug-induced behavior and lackluster playing got a hold of the drummer’s stash and flushed it all down the toilet. Moon reacted with predictable fury and Daltrey wound back and socked him in the nose, bloodying and nearly breaking it. “It took about five people to hold me off him,” the singer remembered in the book Roger Daltrey: The Biography. “It wasn’t just because I hated him, it was just because I loved the band so much and thought it was being destroyed by those pills.”

Moon was obviously irate about the assault, and Townshend and Entwistle, both of whom also regularly imbibed in pharmaceutical uppers, agreed that Daltrey had gone too far and summarily fired him from the group. The decision stood for about a week until the group’s managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp convinced the three men that in order to maintain their upward trajectory, they needed to bring him back into the fold. After agreeing to apologize and abstain from any further violent outbursts, Daltrey was rehired and the Who were free to capitalize on their chart-breaking hit, “My Generation.”

While violence is hardly ever a desired outcome in a dispute, the incident ultimately bred a positive result as Pete Townshend recalled in his book, Who I Am. “One significant thing about this outburst was Keith’s response. Instead of responding with humiliation, he seemed to sober up. It was clear he was about to establish a boundary that Roger could never cross again.” Of course, the sobriety wouldn’t stick long-term and Moon overdosed on Heminevrin and died on Sept. 7, 1978.

THE WHO TO RELAUNCH

THE WHO HITS 50! NORTH AMERICAN TOUR

FEBRUARY 27, 2016

RESCHEDULED SHOWS TO INCLUDE ALL DATES FROM FALL 2015 LEG

THE WHO today announced the rescheduled dates for their “THE WHO HITS 50!” North American tour, which was postponed earlier this month to allow lead singer Roger Daltrey time to recover from his recent bout with viral meningitis. “THE WHO HITS 50!” 2016 dates kick off February 27 in Detroit and includes stops in Toronto, New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, before wrapping May 29 in Las Vegas.
 
The first leg of the tour received critical acclaim including: 



“…if this is indeed The Who’s last waltz, they’re leaving fans with plenty of memories.”
--Melissa Ruggieri, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION, 4/24/15
 
“The Who became more powerful as the show went on…”
--Alex Rawls, USA TODAY, 4/27/15
 
“the band shredded through enough greatest hits in fine form to satisfy any purist.”
--Karen Dalton-Beninato, HUFFINGTON POST, 4/26/15
 
“…The Who…refused to act their age as they powered through a litany of hits.”
--JAMBANDS.COM, 4/26/15

“…if this is truly the end…it was one heck of an adios.”
--Robert Wilonsky, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 5/4/15
 
“The Who came out swinging…stuffing a career's worth of classic moves into its opening song.”
--Bob Gendron, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 5/14/15
 
“Performing a two-hour, hits-heavy set…if this is indeed the Who's last major jaunt, it shows them going out in fine style.”
--Frank Scheck, HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 5/28/15 



Roger Daltrey says, “I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better.”

“We will be starting our rescheduled shows in February and will be coming back stronger than ever!” Pete Townshend adds.
 
Tickets for the originally scheduled shows will be honored at the new dates.  “THE WHO HITS 50!” tour is being presented by AEG Live.  Tickets and VIP packages for the shows are available at www.thewho.com. ; Citi is the official credit card of “THE WHO HITS 50!” tour.  Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase tickets for the U.S. dates through Citi’s Private Pass Program. For details visit www.citiprivatepass.com.

THE WHO have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964; they brought together four different personalities and in effect produced a musical hurricane.  Each of them was a pioneer. Wildman drummer Keith Moon beat his kit with a chaotic elegance; stoic bassist John Entwistle held down the center with the melodic virtuosity of a solo guitarist; raging intellectual Pete Townshend punctuated the epic universality of his songs with the windmill slamming of his fingers across his guitar strings; and Roger Daltrey roared above it all with an impossibly virile macho swagger. They exploded conventional rhythm and blues structures, challenged pop music conventions, and redefined what was possible on stage, in the recording studio, and on vinyl. As they enter their 50th year, the band is still going strong, winning rave reviews.

The updated “THE WHO HITS 50!” tour dates are as follows: 




Sat 2/27

‘They blasted the place to pieces’: Iggy Pop and Robert Plant recall seeing The Who for the first time

National Post Staff | September 30, 2015


...
The Who, 1965



British group The Who have been exploding ear (and bass) drums since they emerged out of the art Mod scene of the 60s, redefining the live spectacular and influencing a generation of music icons.

Two such legends, The Stooges’ Iggy Pop and Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant, recall the “kick ass” experience of seeing The Who for the first time in the clip below.

“It was the most exciting and thrilling music scene I’d ever been to,” Plant recalls in the video, put together to accompany the October 7 cinematic screening of The Who: Live in Hyde Park.

Thanks for posting, Robert Plant was more a fan of The Small Faces than The Who, in fact "Whole lotta love" was more a plagiarism of the cover of the Small Faces (You need loving) than the "original" by Willi Dixon (You need Love)

IN whole lotta love RObert sings totally a'la "Steve Marriott"

"I'd like to say a big thank you to all you Who fans for your kind wishes following my recent bout of viral meningitis. The good news is that I'm now out of hospital and on the mend, although it's going to be a slow process but – I WILL be back! Both me and Pete are looking forward to seeing you all at the rescheduled shows in the new year. Be happy, be healthy, be lucky!"
