Bands I really Loved: The Who

The Who formed in 1964. Their Original line-up consisted of lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist and singer( Main Songwriter) Pete Townshend, bass guitarist John Entwistle, and drummer Keith Moon.

Selling over 100 million records worldwide and holding a big reputation for both, their live shows and studio work.

Pete Townshend had a Studio at Home, would write the songs, play all the instruments, Sing, and Press Seven Singles, send them to the others to learn their Parts!

The Who were instrumental in the development of the Marshall Stack and the Much Bigger PA Systems that came into use.

They were also one of the first Rock Bands to start using Synthesizers!

They truly understood the meaning of LOUD!

They were famous as well for wrecking instruments on stage, I believe the first one was an accident, on hearing the applause Pete just carried On!

I recall they were doing a big show in America, Pete Townshend asked if there was a Drummer in the House?

Keith had fallen off the Drum Stool unconscious ! He had decided to try the effects of a Horse Tranquilizer as a new Drug?

Those years everyone was into the Beatles and the Rolling Stones!

When I first heard The Who's "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere , I was sold!

Very Unfortunately Keith Moon Died in 1978 and proved somewhat difficult to replace!

I have just realised that this is never going to fit in one Post , so I will leave you in suspense for the Moment ?, but will Continue
