Joe Walsh “The single most frightening thing in my life,was when Keith Moon decided he liked me”
You flatter him. Some may consider he was just criminally insane.
I was at the Cow Palace performance, the show started out ok, but then I saw the double pass outs. After the first pass out, there was a short time out. Then with a cheer from the audience, Keith came out crabbed Pete’s hand like a brother, got back to his kit, and the band was off again, but slowly Keith started to lean on a large gong behind him, clearly out again. A roadie pushed Keith from behind and Keith’s head hit the snare drum with a loud thud! That was it, he was out cold. The roadies picked him up like a sack of potatoes, and took Keith way, with the band leaving the stage too. In just a few seconds later, Pete came back out and said to audience “Are there any drummers in the house?” With that statement, a bunch of hands shot up in the air, my dummer was sitting next to me and he didn’t put his hand up. Anyway, they picked a fellow up out of the audience, and the guy had the time of his life, performing live with The Who, and he was pretty good too. It was all in the local papers the following day, with a photo of the stand in drummer The Who pulled to the stage to play with them finishing up the show. Great stuff. 😂
I actually admire Roger for trying to pretty much be the straight one in the band. It's probably why he's in great shape even today. The story of John Lennon's "Lost Weekend" would be another excellent story to tell in the future.
Keith Moon sounds like a mad bomber who also just happens to play the drums during his down time.
Moon once hijacked a bus on Alexandra Parade Melbourne Australia. I believe he’d been visiting with Ian ‘Molly’ Meldrum who lived nearby. It seems Moon caught a bus into the city and told the driver he was hijacking this bus to Cuba. I can’t imagine an Australian bus driver doing anything but roar with laughter at this.
James, dear boy, thank you so much for documenting Mr Keith Moon and The Who. There's not enough talk of them on here. They're my favorite band of all time. He was certainly an unrivaled lunatic, but he was really an unbelievable drummer when he was healthy, and The Who have made some of the best conceptual albums in classic rock history. Not to mention their live act. Aggressive, powerful and loud! There was a point where it was widely acknowledged and accepted that they were the best live band in the industry. In the words of Alice Cooper, "maybe 50% of what you heard about me and other rock stars is true, but literally 100% of what you heard about Keith Moon is true." Rest in peace, Keith. Long live rock!
Rodger Daltrey was a lot tougher than people gave him credit for 😊
I saw Keith play four times with the Who. I thought he was the greatest drummer in the world. But I had no idea what he was like off-stage. It wasn't till after his death that I read about what a genius lunatic he was. No one played drums or lived like Keith. Thanks for this great video.

The Greatest drummer to ever hold a pair of sticks. No one can dispute that. I remember hearing years ago, some of his expertise could not be duplicated, not even with the help of a computer. Amazing. Rest in peace, Keith. 🌹 You will never be forgotten.
Keith Moon and I were friends in the 70s for a while, I use to drink with him, I would never have known he had this wild side, he was always a gentlemen, he even helped to get a road closed in Battersea for our Family, still closed today in South London near their Studios. He love to tell jokes, and his favourite passtime were bar billiards. Never seen him do any wild things ever, so there were two sides , must be Bi-Polar.
Heard some new stuff, I didn't know, so thanks 👍😁
the coffee beans down the escalator was a new one for me
Never was there a truer rock and roller than Keith Moon aka Moon the Loon. Love the boy now and forever.
No one compares to the loon Keith moon. May he R.I.P. thanks for sharing.
Saw an interview with Roger, listening to an album of theirs, "Great drumming. Must have been a bad day for drugs"
Steve Marriot - " I'm 5th in line to the throne , I can do whatever I want." Haw haw haw.
Keith Moon was a fucking LEGEND! I love The Who sound with Keith's drumming.
I fell in love with his drumming and the Who at age 8…I researched about him more in my early teens and was blown away….still my favorite band at age 53 and still my favorite legend. He sadly died when I was only 8 years old…but I still dream about the whirlwind myth and creating havoc and having a blast with him. RIP doesn’t seem quite appropriate, so, Party On in ROCK n ROLL Paradise, Dear Boy….
