You can't get such heavy live rock at that sound volume any longer, because of the authorities restrictions. Ok, maybe AC/DC can make your trouser flutter slightly nowadays. Good old days.
I can see here why Pete, on the Who's Missing album, said that the Who were at their peak in 1972. Killer snare roll at 0:42. I didn't think Moon could have played better than in 1970-71, but here seems to have a more mature, controlled, muscle-y quality. Somebody please upload this whole bit. Of all the Who footage out there, I don't think I've seen better. Brilliant!
Have seen, thanks. Terrific to have "Who by Numbers" footage. Just seems to me that in those 1975 gigs Keith started looking stiff and slower, not alternating ride cymbals, etc. That Charlton 1974 gig seems to me to be one of the last Moon-of-old performances. Perhaps I follow the guy to closely. Ha.
This is 3 years prior to By Numbers tour (75-76). 1972 was the European leg of the Who's Next tour. And this is not Charlton 74. Check out what PT is wearing and Rog, too. Moon's set is also the smaller all black Premier drum kit as opposed to the Gold huge set from the Quad tour (73-74)....or the White kit from the by Numbers tour.
If one likes something well then you just like it, I think fantastic if you think 1974 was last great year for Moon... I don't but all subjective like everything regards to music, thanks God :-)
For example I think LAL is totally overated Who show, they played much shows...
This was clearly a part of some TV-show, possibly dealing with cultural life or such. The promotors must have allowed the tv-team to get a few shots. Mind you, today they'd wouldn't be allowed to film at all. ... And I still got the ticket from that concert! :-)
The exact date of this show was August 23, 1972. This would have been on Keith Moon's 26th birthday. It was part of a film called "Roadies". Actually, I believe some of this WGFA clip appeared on the the old show that VH-1 show called "Legends" (when they did one for The Who). Too bad the whole show isn't available. If there is one clip there are generally more. I wonder what the story is with the rest of the film.
the roadies clip is a couple mins long with interviews and the band arriving in stockholm. most likely the whole show was filmed. maybe the amazing journey directors had access to it and didn't use it. vh1 probably used a copy of roadies from someones archive. the end of the clip is great but it's missing here.
I don't think Amazing Journey directors had access to it (if more of it still even exist). Propably only someone who worked Swedish TV can say if there's more of it.
He he, I remember this footage surfacing without sound a few years back. People quickly identified it as WGFA. This was, of course, way before YouTube... Thanks!
This IS the most rockin' band EVER! They don't write 'em like this anymore!
