ever heard then broke out. To this The Who entered.

Composed of Pete Townsend, guitar; John Entwhistle, bass; Roger Daltry, singer; and Keith (Maniac) Moon, drums, The Who ran on stage and treated their listeners to some of their best songs.

They were perfection with Daltry, Moon and Townsend acting like wild men while bassist Entwhistle, acting as an anchor, just stood grooving on the whole scene and kept the group from just completely flying off. In one of the last numbers Townsend excited the audience, which expected him to break up his equipment any second, by staring at his amplifier with “destruction in his eyes.” But he did nothing.

Then came “My Generation.” This was it, their last song! After two verses the war between The Who and their equipment was on. Townsend took off his guitar and started playing it like a violin with a microphone stand as the bow. Moon knocked over his tom-tom and cymbals. Daltry attacked the bass amplifiers.

Entwhistle just kept putting out the bass pattern and watching. Townsend then rammed his amplifier with his guitar neck. The bass amps toppled as Daltry watched with glee. Then everyone concentrated on Pete, who was hammering his guitar to pieces. He then picked up one of the extra guitars, looked at it and threw it into the crowd! A perfectly good guitar!

At this point the first three rows of the crowd went berserk and started climbing on stage and fighting the police. The Who just quietly walked off stage.

For a moment there was just stunned silence. Then cheers went up. The stage was a disaster area. The show was over.
