| Keith Moon 1946 - 1978 |
| On September 6, 1978, Keith Moon attended a party thrown by Paul McCartney in honor of the movie "The Buddy Holly Story." It would be his last night out. Sometime in the late afternoon of September 7, 1978, Keith John Moon died in flat #9, 12 Curzon Place, London. One of rock's most talented and exciting drummers. |
| The Who came to attention in the mid-'60s with youth anthems like "My Generation" and "The Kids Are Alright." In addition The Who's show were pyro-experiences. They started smashing their instruments long before it was fashionable. In '67 they launched "I Can See For Miles" which was one of the most intense songs recorded up to that time. They also brought down the house with a smashing performance at the legendary Monterey Pop Festival. All that would have insured them a place in rock history. But there was more! As the '60s were coming to an end there was news that Townshend was composing the first rock opera. Most everybody laughed at the idea and expected The Who to take a big dive. They didn't. "Tommy" was the first successful rock opera of all time! |
