keith moon at brecknock school north london 1977

[EmptyGlass99]

Thanks for uploading this. Moonie looks so nervous here. What a great thing for him to do. Gawd bless 'im.

[harris1969]

What a guy

[thewhorox1]

That's Keith always giving back more than he got!

[poortogee77]

best drummer ever!!!

[wcanjos]

Hey, who's that next to you in the jeans and red top?

[wcanjos]

Proud to say that I too was there - though not a cadet.

[JohnLennonLover9]

Awww... poor sweetheart :(

I don't ever think I've seen a video of Keith so emotional like that

I wonder what hidden thing brought that emotion up- it had to be something

Just shows he has a sweet old soul and a big heart :)

I miss you so much :)

Everytime I see you I'm reminded to take life a little bit less seriously and let myself have some fun :)

Thanks Keith :) xoxo

[badmuddafadda]

This film really showcases his vulnerability as a person. The kids are too young to play off of, he really did a very kind thing for them. He is almost begging the reporter to help him through the interview. The look of relief and such on his face when the kids are nice when invited to critique Keith. This actually makes me a little sad for the guy who looks about 50, when we know he is just 32.

[arealOpia1991]

@badmuddafadda he wasn't even 32 here-he's jus 30-his birthday is end of aug & this says it was filmed may~june so he still had a couple months 2go before turning 31-i don't thing he looks 50, i'd say 45 but still tragic-i think thers so much more 2 the story of moon than any1 ever knew-ive seen a lot of this guy &he really puts life in2 other pples yet to do so takes it out of his own-totally selfless yet self destructive& he always avoids answering questions directly about himself in interview

[RedRoseSpeedway09]

aw keith's so sweet here bless him

[marc16107]

fair play keith!

[uncarajillo1]

I love this. It is a real tribute because clearly Keith was being respectful serious and very generous doing this never once was he taking the Mick just doing a nice thing a wonderful balance to just being remembered as a bit nutty. Thank you so much.

[leesawford]

it is strange but he has an almost haunted look in his eyes and looks quite freaked at point when being interviewed.He's usually much more 'lairy' and seemingly self assured when ive seen other interviews.especially at 2:28 ish..he kinda zones out and in again.really weird.

[MsFanmail]

He is so cute here

[chriscritsini]

that night he got in travis bickle's taxi and told him that he would murder his wife for cheating with another man

[HumGuitar]

@chriscritsini No, that was Martin Scorsese, the directer of Taxi Driver, who played the part of the man who was going to shoot his wife. I'm guessing you probably already knew this, and you are just goofing. He does kind of look like him though.

[drummer78]

He is simply commenting on Keith's bearded look which Scoresese had at the same time (see The Last Waltz).

[muttilo]

@chriscritsini Keith Scorcese I LOVE !!

[annikee59]

What a gentleman.

[Alexandernero666]

Who doesn't love Keith Moon?  Step off a high cliff....now!

[cazaleah2]

bless him

[Waterfall64]

I think naturally he was quite shy, like his great friend Oliver Reed. He comes across quite uncomfortable and restrained here and himself - must have been trying to dry out around this point. Some interviews I've seen him stripping off, being rowdy (in a funny way) and what have you.

[Exilemainstreet]

So proud of Keith. . everyone was out of step except him.

I've been waiting to use that joke for a long time. Seriously, I love Keith, he was one of a kind.

[Moon27]

Wow...that was kind of weird yet very sweet. I'm not use to seeing Keith in such a serious tone and not wacky like he normally was. I do remember reading though that by this time, he was trying to straighten himself out and I can definitely see that here...it just makes me wonder how he would have turned out if he was still alive. He just had alot of different sides to him..you just never know.

[OtisBlue22]

A good interviewer should never make the interviewee(s) uncomfortable (or the viewer for that matter)! Why not ask Moon how he developed his drumming style, and how this was shaped by his experience in the cadets?

[Waitingforriki]

So good to watch Moonie here doing this..what a drumming hero he (still is) to so many people..Long may his leg-end live!

[calchick82]

I really wish Keith were still alive. The greatest drummer in the world, and though he could be a bit mad at times(putting it lightly, lol!), he seemed to be a terrific person who especially loved his fans. We loved him then and love him still, and miss him terribly!

[WhiteTulip2113]

aaawww he's so cute in this vid! even with the beard :)

how he smiles at the end makes me feel... loved and comfortable in some way ^-^

he was such a amazingly neat guy.. funny as hell and soo generous.

[garyspong]

"bit fast"...ha ha! Keith didn't expect that.

[chairmanmeow1973]

Hard to believe he was only 26. He looks forty.

[helgaapeldoorn]

@chairmanmeow1973 He was 31 in 1977

[fatcatbuzz]

@chairmanmeow1973 Yep, he was 31. Though I think the drugs and alcohol aged him quite a bite a around 1975. Funny because if you look at all the video footage of him in the 60s he looks like a little kid sometimes.

[chairmanmeow1973]

Keith looks like he is going to cry!

[WhiteTulip2113]

@chairmanmeow1973 you think so? when.

[rabbithog]

i bet half the people in this video are in prison now lol

[dumont1957]

So nice to see Keith just being a normal bloke - sure, he has some fun and cuts up a bit, but he's not trying to be "on" with his "Loon" persona. .

[Fr3r0oOcKkk]

uncle ernie.......XD

[beatlenut65]

Excellent shows what a big hearted fellow Keith was, really nice.

[evanswho]

Great piece of film, thanks for posting. Was made about a year before Keith died.

[vordman]

There was so much to Keith. Try as I might I just can't figure out what sort of a man he'd be today. I like to think he'd be a national institution adored by all.

[i2r4444]

Right at the end when the the presenter says "How is your new drummer?"

The cadet says "bit fast", and Keith smiles, he looks just like Robert Newton who played Long John Silver in the classic Treasure Island, Keith would have been a great pirate! Cheers. The Who Rocks Forever!

[chairmanmeow1973]

@i2r4444 A lot of people say that Keith was doing an impression of Robert Newton ALL the time

[tigercubii]

WOW! I would not have recognized Keith in this clip. Thanks for posting

[gspotstudio]

Fantastic!. What a great find. Thank you for sharing.

[rumarq2000]

Hey Steve,

What a brilliant piece of footage! Love the kids blowing their trumpets at once Ah! and you haven't change a bit in 30 years...

RuthXX

[Cooleemee43]

Its great to see Moonie's memory reflected in a scope that showed he cared about people, was interested in charity, and was clearly more then a crazed rock star.

[jmpeutherer]

Great clip, I've seen stills of this before, I think a clip of this features in the kids are alright movie, not sure may be wrong on that.

[barryburbs23]

Excellent, many thanks.

[TransMetal79]

wow! he looked so handsome and distinguished...thanks for posting this!

[peace0eight]

LEGEND, nice clip, i would have loved to been there back then, just to say you had played in a band with the loon one evening, that would be enough for me ..thanks.

[Porkeypyne]

very touching, thanks!

[eurochrissy2]

-Thankyou for taking the time to upload this clip,i do not underestimate your patience involved,admired the Who for some time,this has been an unusual discovery for me.awesome stuff!

[tadjad48bl]

Brilliant!!! Tear to my eye!

[hughjarseo]

Hey Steve

Funny seeing you bobbing around at the back, did he go down in the boiler room to rehearse ?

Steve

[perfectagrl723]

he's so...SERIOUS in this video. SHEESH.

[custer1968]

Dear Keith..always giving...always cheery..R.I.P

[deedarbikes]

Typical Keith what a guy. If you read Moon the Loon he gave lots of stuff to people who needed it more than him.

[Robelli1717]

could you believe keith gave zack starkey his first drum set. (:

[bobmorrice]

nice low key entrance as usual from keith

[kashmir33]

Gracias por publicar tan valioso video, un saludo afectuso desde Chiapas MÉXICO

[kidslam38]

makes me proud to be a keith moon fan

[simpleusername11]

Me too...what a guy. Certainly would have been amazing to meet him!!

[MrGazza606]

great video. thanks for the upload

[royalcollage]

I used to go there to use the swimming pool,many years ago may i say,Lol

[kamelion7]

Bit you had a moody piss in it chubbs!!

[shogunmatt2003]

Great film...

nice too see my old school playground, not many schools had a playground on the roof with views over North London.

Keith Moon......Legend !

[TheJester1962]

Thanks a lot for posting this unique footage showing yet another side of Keith Moon - the great thing about his style was that he made his kit sound like drumbands colliding: listen to "Cobwebs and Strange" or "The Kids Are Alright". He was also the last of the great English Court Jesters alias Shakespearean Fools, along with Peter Cook and Peter Sellers. Bit of a chat?

[royalcollage]

super clip long live the moon..

[kamelion7]

Oooh, is it SUPER !!!

I thought it was Spiffing meself.

Keep talking ike Bertie Wooster and I'll park you up ya cunt!!!

[peteandniko]

Keith looks so relaxed and having a great time ,its nice to see this side of him quite different from the stage,he almost looks vunerable .RIP Dear Boy!!

[carrieluvv]

one of those kids looks like jamie bell aka billy elliot

[Hertsman50]

Brilliant clip!!

[markjacob76]

genuine fukin geezer!! why does it always have to be bout the drink n drugs moonie was a down to earth fukin man, remember this was the spoilt 60s crew who had it all...scuse the pun!! nice one keith u legend!!

[lexy67flc]

How lovely! What a truly nice clip. At last, something that shows what a generous and caring guy Keith was. Yes he had his problems and could be a total b*****d when he was drunk (who can't?), but he was also an extremely generous man, and this was a lovely thing for him to do.

You are sorely missed Dear Boy...

[stevan1934]

spope, recumi,,sta si u ovaj video primetio koje bi(kad smo kod temu o P.A.K.)smetalo ili ponizilo Monarhiju Srbije?

Ajd... pa ce se cujemo na srpska politika!

[demonsbutterfly]

I miss keith every day. What a mad champ he was.

[chaplinroadmoonbeam]

This is absolutely priceless, i live very near there, and it is a fabulously funny and endearing find, Reggie

[vonpork]

Keith's downfall was living in LA for 2 years.

[anitasseo]

la prematura muerte de keith me pone triste.. cada vez q veo algo como ésto me tira pabajo..

[ZephyrJG]

That was pretty cool. You never see him that serious! Any more like that?

[JoHigh]

Keith was a bit of a big kid at heart and you can see he loved being involved in this..He had his problems but i think this showed he had a heart to...good video..

[sparklerofalbion]

What a great rarity! Thanks for posting this. Surreal!

[ghettoman229]

sweet video man

[karlchilders34]

rare vid indeed..thanks for posting

[dmcd808]

Keith Moon was rock & roll not a pathetic drunkard.

Our lives are just a ride and Keith treated it that way. In fact we need more Keith Moons in this world to show us that this life is not so important after all!

Respect to the best rock & roll drummer the world has seen.

[entopic]

hehe what a great clip! legend! thanks for posting!!

[brib333]

Holy shit! I've never seen him so serious.

He actually might be sober in this clip! I cant believe it. Funny.

[johnisallin]

Serious, yes...

Sober, I have my doubts.

I'm not just saying this for effect. I am a huge Keith Moon fan. But it appears to me that he is under the influence of something.

[anitasseo]

Hahha.. Yeah.. something white.

: )

[sidjames1976]

Nice, genuine guy. Never, ever to be replaced...there is no 'substitute'.

[Waitingforriki]

Great drummer, fantastic character, RIP Keith Moon John Entwhistle..The Avver 'alf o' the 'oo!!

[alread56]

fantastic!

[instruct2008]

I reckon he was a real good, fun mate to have!!!!!  What a bloke!!

[pipeandslippersman]

what a beautiful man! sadly missed along with his partner in the rhythm section...

RIP john + keith

[gitchigoomi]

He was an important person but he was not, by any accounts, a beautiful man. He was a pathetic, confused drunkard who beat his wife, squandered his talent, and mostly annoyed people who knew him. He was a rock and roll casualty. He is missed as a drummer, but he was not a beautiful person.

[pipeandslippersman]

i actually think he's physically beautiful as well as personally beautiful - i can't excuse his many mistakes but i still love him! (AND HIS BAND!!!!!)

i think we need to judge these people on their product, not their personality. miles davies was, apparently, a real knob...

this shows The Drummer For The Who as a human bieng...

[gitchigoomi]

I love the band and I was infatuated with his image for most of my adult life. When I learned more about him, the image changed. Peace.

[magicbus144]

Unfortunately i have to agree, read " Dear Boy" the autobiography and it tells all!

[thegirl44]

"Dear Boy," was a Keith Moon biography. An autobiography is when the subject writes the story themselves.

[magicbus144]

Errrrm ...OK !

[chrisba62]

Thank you for posting this lovely clip. Once you get beyond all the crap about "Moon the Loon" he was, by all accounts, a very kind hearted and generous man.

[BrickLaneBetty]

Wow, this made my week. THANK YOU!

[kennysteam1]

nice to see something a bit different from Moon after all he was a nutter RIP

[Nyquest]

Hi Stephen,

Many thanks for posting this brilliant clip.

KM was a real talent & by all accounts a gent.

[loveforkaren]

[art72]

[muttilo]

[Cobain5Moon]

[johnisallin]

Awesome! To me , clips like this are what I enjoy most about youtube. Rare or forgotten film or video that someone un-earths and shares with the world.

[deargirl]

I love this video. Thanks so much for sharing! It's so hard to find new Keith videos :)

[ilovefreedom80]

I also love seeing any new footage of Keith Moon!

I think he would be shocked to know how much he is still loved even after 30 years!

[IDontEvenKnowMyself]

Oh i dought he would be shocked, Keith new he would be remembered alot.

[lowtit]

Truly amazing bit of archive footage - a joy to watch - RIP keith!

[loonymoongirl]

Wow, thank you so much for this clip! I love seeing any new footage of Keith that I haven't seen before.....there's so many facets to him, thanks for showing me one more and keeping his legacy alive.

[theface07]

Truly incredible, mate. Thanks for this amazing footage showing the soft side of Mooney. This is a true example of how generous he was. He knew the cash would just be partied away anyways! He will never be replaced.

...RIP Moonie...

[whofandave]

brilliant thanks for posting, hes still sadly missed.

[wutup66]

too cute! thanks for sharing!

[Alquit4]

This is great. What a lovelly man Mooney was. Which one is you in the clip?

[babyshambler]

Fucking INCREDIBLE footage! I've been a Who fan for 15 years and it still sends a shiver down my spine when I see something new. Thankyou so much!

[Nur100etc]

And so which one are you? The boy in the back not in uniform?

Thanks again!

[Nur100etc]

Wonderful! Keith seems shy. "more money in drums" haha!

Thanks so much for this lovely clip.

[netmdfreek2004]

good pitch, every one of em!

HAHAHA

[Wattsie]

OMG This is fantastic - thanks for sharing it! xxxxxx

[adrianmax19781979]

By this Ultra ULTRA Rare footage,it again shows Keith as a very serious person when he wants to be-even he admitted he was alot of the time.He always seemed on top form when I have seen him interviewed.And Happy Birthday Keith.I remember in one conversation I had with his Mum, about when she asked him[Keith] about his smashing of hotel rooms [when he abroad ] he said "come on Mum Im just having a bit of fun!"

[tittetybumpety]

Brilliant,this is what i love about YT

[ilovefreedom80]

THANK YOU for posting this video, YOU my friend are my hero!!!

And Happy b-day to Keith Moon today!

You are missed!

[shellygrrl]

and this uploaded just days short of what would've been moonie's 62nd birthday. what a treat. thanks for sharing! :D

[DearGirlMoonLoon]

Oh my goodness...I'm speechless. This is absolutely AMAZING! (Honestly, this is CAPSLOCK WORTHY.) I've seen pictures of him here, but never video. Thank you so so much for uploading this!

Hehe, Keith being his sweet self. <3

[Swesuburan]

Wow. Thanks alot! This is fantastic!
