    Imagine Scott Halpin talking to his buddies the next day, "Dude! I saw The Who at the Cow Palace and Kieth Moon passed out and they asked me to play the drums during the encore!" And of course his friends, "Yeah, right dude!"

    I was there with a bunch of my friends. 16 years old. Waited all night in line to get tickets, then got to the Cow Palace the night before to wait in line so we'd get up close to the stage. Light rain, that night. Drinking schnapps (warming). Doors finally opened, ran like Banshees to the stage. Found a spot about 10 feet back from the front, directly in front of Pete. Synyrd was AWESOME. An entirely unknown band, at the time. Finished with "Free Bird," of course. Blew us all away! I was learning bass at the time, and immediately copied the bass line to Working for MCA, as soon as I got home. VERY memorable songs. You can see the back of my long-haired head at one point in the original version of this video, near the end. Second time I'd seen The Who. First time was 12/13/71 at the SF Civic, at age 14, when the band was touring Who's Next (a famous show, recorded for an album, released as a bootleg and then officially, years later). THAT show was life-changing (chest pressed against the stage, on Pete's side, again). This one was just a party with friends. Entwistle held things down just fine without Keith. Surprising, but absolutely true. Several very, very loud Sunn Collesium amps. I owned one, years later. Could never turn it up past 4 (too loud for any band I ever played with). Entwistle was the GOAT, for sure. I watched him carefully, and stole some of his trademark licks, directly from this show (octaves, runs on minor thirds). This whole band at this particular time was the best live band ever, for sure. Scott played only a few numbers, jams that weren't really that impressive. A let-down, frankly. We were all kinda pissed that Moon wasn't there, by that time, but the whole "kid from the audience" thing was pretty cool. I still have the original "Owl" poster ("Hoo, hoo" ... get it?) from this show, framed, in my office. Looking at it right now. Currently worth north of $5k, on eBay, I believe. We humans just don't make music like this, anymore.

      I was right there with you. I was also 16 at the time. I was right next to where Roger threw the tambourine. I was aware of Lynyrd Skynyrd and was in a band that still did covers and we had already learned Free Bird. It was great because often when we played it nobody had yet heard it.
      Skynyrd was great that night. Actually even with Moonie crashing those two,times… I liked the “Is there a drummer out there thing” too. The guy (Scott) did the Bay Area proud. The only thing that really sucked was all those long delays that night. But still… one for the history books.
      I was at the Civic in 71 as well… living in the city was pretty cool sometimes.
      Enjoy the memories… Cheers👍🏼

      So Scott wasn't that impressive, eh? Well, think about being pulled cold from the audience, asked to fill the shoes of someone famous and great, in front of an audience that will criticize every beat you make. Even if he played those songs at home everyday on drums, this would be a lot to ask. This isn't TV or the movies where the kid from the audience is instantly as good or better than the professional he is filling in for. Just think, Artimus Pyle was asked and refused to fill in. Those were huge shoes to fill.
      The fact that Scott Halpin was able to pull this off at all is more than impressive.

  • @shanedyer3230
    @shanedyer3230 11 місяців тому +14

    Bringing in a drummer from the audience was a brilliant idea, even if they didn't pull it off. Instead, Scott did great. I imagine it was sheer terror at first, exhilaration, followed by the sheer joy of clicking with the Who.

    I was there!
    I was a junior in high school . My friend scored a couple of tickets to this show through his connection to Ticket Master.
    We went the day before and camped out under the tarp that was thrown over the cattle gates at the entrance.
    I had never heard of Lynyrd Skynyrd, I thought to myself, I hope they hurry through their set so the Who can start playing.
    After Skynyrd played their first tune I was not impressed with Ronnie’s singing, still hoping they would hurry up!
    Then came Free Bird! BLEW MY EVER LOVIN MIND!!!! Through the years I had the privilege of seeing Skynyrd many times before the crash that changed everything.
    The Cowpalace sound setup was fantastic, really brought out the Quadrophenia sound, I was unable to hear very well for almost two days after the show.
    LOUD does not even come close to describing it. I loved it!!
    When Towsend started asking it there was anybody in the audience that could play the drums ,I thought he was joking!
    Very brave to get up there and fill in for Moon! Kudos to Scott !!!
    Although I only was able to see the Who once, I will always remember this show!!

Actually it kinda looks like Moon. But then everyone pretty much looked like Moon back then. The face of the guy on Magic Bus is Moon I think now I’ve seen different angles of it 😊

    Listening to Daultry's autobiography and he describes this gig in full detail. Keith was paralyzed from the neck down for a few days, but loved that everyone had to push him around in a wheelchair. He was smiling the whole time. The band could tell that the wheels were coming off on Keith the whole show, but John was up so loud that they thought no one else would notice... until Keith collapsed, that is. Keith used to get such bad nerves before a gig that he would throw up for hours. He really had an intense phobia about going out onstage and that is what drove him to do the drugs in this instance (every other instance was because he was a junky).

      Bill Graham Presents had a an "in-house" video system that was used at the Winterland from late 1973 until the last shows in 1978. I assume that this system was carted over to the Cow Palace for The Who show. The idea of the video screen was to give fans with a "bad seat" a better view of the band. A lot of the W

    I love The Who but they can be so anal retentive, sometimes. At shows like the Concert for New York or Live Aid, they always played their standards, while bands like The Rolling Stones did different things to fit the respective occasions. Why couldn't The Who alter their encores a bit and play light, melodic songs that didn't require drums? They had plenty to choose from, on their early albums. Love Ain't for Keeping, Happy Jack, most of Sell Out and even songs like Tommy Can You Hear Me or Sensation could have easily been played, without drums. Improvise a bit, Pete and be in the moment. It's never too late.
