Keith is beyond unique. Watching him play live, we never knew what was coming next, unpredictable,always on top of his game. The alcohol did take it's toll towards the end of his years. I saw The Who twice on the 75' tour and the band were incredible. Almost re-creating themselves again. The energy was beyond belief.It is a privilage to have seen Keith with The Who, I will always be eternally grateful to have witnessed the legend of The Who live and music history. Long live the "orrible oo"

THANKYOU SO MUCH PUTTING THIS VID TOGETHER ...... its totally made my otherwise boring saturday . I gave up smoking 28 days ago and havnt had a drink either as in my opinion the two go hand in hand and i was a real need of a little" rock n roll "and Mr . Moon , dear boy you helped me fill the gap today . A legendary drummer and a legendary human being it would have been a priviledge to have met you .....perhaps that wet night in Southsea haha xxx
