The Who play at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. Before the show, Keith gets dosed with PCP and, after playing groggily throughout the concert, passes out towards the end of the show. Pete calls out for a drummer to replace Keith and 19-year old Scott Halpin is chosen from the audience to take his place. The Who plus Halpin play “Smokestack Lightning, “ “Spoonful “ and “Naked Eye “ before calling it a night. The show was planned to be simulcast on radio stations KSAN, KOME and KZAP, but that likely didn't happen, it was, however, unofficially videotaped in black and white by promoter Bill Graham. Keith's passing out and a short clip of Halpin's performance are included in the 30 Years Of Maximum R&B video.
