I was going to start that video and listen to it while I fixed something to eat. Once I started watching it I couldn’t stop.
Astounding talent! And he was no spring chicken there.
I struggle to decide who was better: The Ox or The Fish. Both are sadly missed.
The amazing thing is how Keith Moon didn’t lose it.
The drumming continues on well after his kit is completely destroyed.
That’s a rock legend! :)
“It is an unequivocal fact that in terms of rock bands, THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES and THE WHO represent Year Zero; the beginning of all things, ground-breakers all.”
That’s not the way I remember it.
saw that the other night.
they rocked!
Isle of Wight might be the single greatest concert ever.

I saw Yes less than a year before Chris Squire’s death, which was 5 years ago. He and Steve Howe both still had it.
I love the Beatles and the Who, but I think the Stones are the most overrated band in history. They should either be replaced by the Kinks in that line-up, or at least make it four. Jagger and Richards combined couldn’t write one song as good as 70% of Ray Davies’ work (Jagger couldn’t write a lyric as brilliant as “Lola” or “Apeman” if you put a gun to his head and gave him 20 years to work on it). Plus the Kinks’ songs hold up much better decades later, as testified by the fact that they are far and away the #1 band currently used in licensing of tracks for movies, TV and commercials.
Smash your head against the wall!
(Other than that, it was a great show - Mark Farner, Randy Bachman, Billy Preston...)
Wow! A man of his word. He really did die before he got old. I was thinking of the other guys in the band, who I think are still around (except Keith).
Some of their later escapades were though. It's too bad they couldn't have confined themselves to making music. Although, their renegade image was all part of their success, I guess.
I"m just not sure how dying young by drowning in your own puke is considered a marker of success.
Thank you for posting this!
It’s SO nice to read something besides coronavirus crap..
