1963 – The Detours play a “New Year’s Rave” at the CAV Sports Ground, Northolt, West London.
I’ve yet to find any information about this show aside from it being listed in “Anyway Anyhow Anywhere”. The venue was a rugby teams park, but I’ve found no mention of a January “New Year’s Rave” nor any mention of a concert at that venue.

1968 – Arriving horribly jet-lagged at Mascot Airport in Sydney, The Who are immediately herded into a press conference.

The silent, dazed Who can do little to defend themselves before they are shuttled off for another flight to Brisbane.
