I don't remember exactly when, but there's a crazy story about an odd reunion in a Hotel between Brian Wilson, Alice Cooper and Iggy Pop and how Alice Cooper and Iggy left the Hotel because they were completely estranged by the erratic behaviour of Wilson trying to demonstrate them how he wanted to make a musical work with crystal glasses. I think it was a meritorious achievement and it was maybe on that time during the early 70s, when Brian Wilson left his 2 year reclussion in his own bed.
Moon, ever the 1970s Long John Silver cosplayer (as seen in "The Kids Are Alright"), was there when "Yellowbeard" was conceived. If it hadn't been for his poor health (and death), he might have starred. Would've also been interesting in more recent days to see him as Captain Jack Sparrow's "Uncle Ernie."
And all that is gone, And all that's to come And everything under the sun is in tune But the sun is eclipsed by the MOON . Shine on brightly Keith like you illuminated this world !
Who can match this? Keith was even the best at accepting awards, never mind his rock drumming. One of a kind and not afraid to do anything. Kind and Real. Rare talent
Keith's best friend in the Beatles was Ringo Starr and they constantly played pranks on each other. I would fully expect this award to have been booby trapped by the time it made it back to the The Beatles
"I've got a telegram from the lads...'We finally made it, Keith. And everybody that has given us this perstigious award is enhanced by the beauty of your recieving it for us.' I've got an open invitaion to any of their houses so afterwards, the best looking in the audience will be selected and will be going now for a late luncheon and an early breakfast. Thank you so much!"
Thanks for writing it down... I'm not a native english speaker, so... It's difficult to me to understand sometimes (especially, in a very low quality of audio)
I am currently reading Tony Fletchers book on Mr. Moon. Half way done and I'm loving every minute. If your a Keith Moon Fan, as I am, it's a must have!
Alice Cooper was the only one who went along with it. the audience was stunned. wish they could have shown Brian Wilson's reaction, BW was the most awake guy in the audience.
I loved the late Keith Moon, he was very sociable and funny. He never took himself seriously and for a man of immense talent, that is to be admired because there are many talented musicians in the music business who are egomaniacs and think they have to be taken seriously. Also, I think it's appropriate that the Beatles chose Keith Moon to pick up their award.
I’ll actually be 30 in a few months, guess one of the many typos in that original comment was my age, and I can spell much better now too 😅 Still a massive fan of Moonie though 🤘 went all the way to London to pay my respects to the man at his burial site
@@dannyvine3605 No, it is 1976. The Rock Awards in Los Angeles. And noone remembers why they got it. Not best album or group, because those were won by Fleetwood Mac.
I find this sad, because Keith said one time he always felt he had to act crazy, he always had to be "on". Jimi Hendrix after awhile HATED setting his guitar on fire and singing the same songs. There's always the darker side, which can lead to severe depression, and sometimes early death.
Back when I was 15 me and my buds listened to basically what I listen to now. The Who, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rush, King Crimson, Dream Theater, Led Zeppelin, etc. etc. Some bands just live forever, and for good reason.
Alice Cooper: Keith Moon was a walking insane asylum but we loved him. Keith Moon the Loon was the Original Troll in Music. Like a Rock Music Version of the late Comedian Actor Andy Kaufman on Steriods. If Monty Python's Flying Circus Team had a Real Life Rock Music Band Member it would be the Life of Keith Moon.
Bill Cleveland Keith wasn’t insane, he had too much energy during a time when self medicating was tolerated with the belief everyone would grow out of it. We were also naive
@@seekingwisdom8 I don't think he was insane either. He was a human with a peculiar nature and energy. I certainly know personally myself it would have been impossible to live the life he did. If I had I would have been dead in my early 20's.
boz scaggs and natalie cole presenting , hall of fame award , at 2nd annual , Rock Music Awards show (1976) diana ross and alice cooper were the hosts (the show only lasted 3 years)
If you want the real inside story on Keith's amazing life I can recommend "Dear Boy - The Life of KEITH MOON" by Tony Fletcher. He was never gonna reach his 70s :-)
I-m currently halfway through it. Well, actually it was also a sad life. This guy needed psychiatric help and, who knows, maybe, hadn-t he been successful, he wouldn-t have died before he got old. A sad story.
Was that Alice Cooper making faces at Keith at the end? I seen footage talking about them being part of a drinking club called "The Hollywood Vampires" Which Alice uses to describe the band he is in today. Cool man!!
John Lennon was not much of a drinker. He could not handle his drink; got drunk very quickly and was a very aggressive drunk. There is an interview with Keith Richards where he says exactly the same thing.
I assume that was in 73 or 74, after the release of the Beatles' Red and Blue albums. I guess the hosts were delighted that Keith did not turn up dressed as Hermann Goring, which he occasionally did in that period...:-)
@@juliebyrne2533 It must be 1976 or later because, at the end, Alice Cooper is doing an impression of John Cleese's French knight in 'Monty Python and the Holy Grail', which wasn't released until May 75 I just checked. It looks like it's from a short-lived awards show called 'The Rock Music Awards', which only existed from 75 to 77. This is from the 1976 awards show, hosted by Diana Ross and Alice Cooper (see last few seconds) I can't work out what the Beatles were being honored for though
I understand you posted your comment over a year ago, and usually i wouldn't respond to comment posted over a year ago, but i can't help but feel the urge to mention Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd! Let's all agree that The Who, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen are (in no order) the greatest bands of all time!
I understand you posted your comment over 4 years ago, but I feel compelled to mention RUSH in your list. In no order RUSH must also be on your list of greatest bands of all time.
+ The Kings, Genesis, Peter Gabriel, 10cc, David Bowie, John Martyn, XTC, Kate Bush, oh man I could go on. It's ok to sell, certainly, but then came the US and only business was important.
"The Who, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and Queen" This list is like "find the interloper" The right answer is "Queen"... how is it possible to link this shitty band with the other ?
Long Live Keith !! What a talent ! He left us too soon. He would have been great in modern comedy films.... he could be between Peter Sellers, Roberto Benigni...and Jim Carrey. Keith would have been great in Austin Powers.....Long live his Spirit ! When you're a Mod, you're a Mod forever !!
Brian Wilson, Keith moon, The Beatles... What a golden age this was.
Milo Rodriguez. They hung out and were friends and inspired by one another's ideas!

It was Milo. I wish I knew what happened.
When people talk about someone being "bigger than life", this guy is what they mean.
Love you Keith.
I don't even like the Who but I love this guy
Geee man, the who is a basic. you dont like them a bit, you out of music world.
What did they win this time? (Mid-70s ? judging by B Wilson's beard)
Mark Boyd Grammy let it be
@@markboyd9275 If it was a Grammy for 'Let It Be' then it would've been March 1971, when they won Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture.
"We finally made it, Keith" deserved a much bigger laugh imo. Comedy gold.
Do you think he wrote it all himself ? 🤔
In those days, our ironic comedy, wasn't understood in USA; like it is current day.

RIP Keith
He sure did. It's so sad he couldn't hang in there for the long haul but maybe that's just how it goes.
Who other than Keith Moon would do a somersault, at an awards show, on stage, in a tux! I miss him so...
Alan Alda did a cartwheel at the 78 emmys!
Ha also read a swedish meatball recipe for his acceptance speech.
Had the pleasure of talking to Keith moon at Wembley arena, terrific guy.
Had the pleasure of meeting Keith Moon at a charity do once. He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.
Didnt have the pleasure to meet Keith Moon he died the day after i was born.😞
I’ve had the pleasure of watching Keith on UA-cam.
(Sorry I didn’t want feel left out)

Underrated comment
We’ve all had the pleasure of living in the same existence slash universe as Keith Moon
Keith at his most controlled; reserved and sane...blimey!
They just don't make 'em like Keith Moon anymore. Nobody's got any balls.
I 'ave xxxxxx hahaha
Literally.
And, by the end, neither did Keith. (Alcohol is hell on your junk.)
I have to think that Dudley Moore's 'Arthur ' character was at least partially based on Moon
Yes 100% always thought that myself.. Twins
When i was a kid I thought he was arthur. Didnt know Dudley more
Brian Wilson.....The Beatles....Keith Moon. Back when people actually had to have talent to win an award.
Don’t think talent has ever had much to do with it to be honest with you.
I Agree
I would hate to have had those guys as competition back then. No thank you. They kicked everybody’s ass consistently.
@@TrenyCwm it's always been staged and fake because they already know if they won or not
And could invite biological females to luncheon/,breakfast.

Brilliant how calmly he delivers those punchlines... His beatiful accent just puts the cherry on the cake too.

Yeah, and he was clearly marked "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY"
And all that is gone,

Absolutely brilliant!! The world is a much darker place without Mr. Moon in it.
best acceptance speech ever - what a great entertainer -
It is March 2nd, 2019 and after seeing this I miss Keith's charm and humour. Not to mention that his drumming was epic.

This was fucking brilliant. One the best videos ive seen on UA-cam! Keith Moon is the king of rock and roll drumming!
the who- best band of all time
moon- best drummer of all time
we must to be right!!!!
Keith moon makes me think of Dudley Moore
Every time I see him I get sad. He was just a just a young man full of promise. It seemed he had everything to live for
keith moon is soo awesome im 12 and i kown basicly everything to know about him rest in peice keith 1947-1978

Queen is my favorite band, and Roger Taylor one of the all time top drummers, but Keith Moon is my favorite drummer.
Same exactly
I've met Roger Taylor. Very charming and articulate man
I'm sorry but Keith Moon is superior to Roger Taylor in every way. The only person who can even come close to this madlad is John Bonham.
