The second set a fan sat in and I’ve never seen a grin that big in my life. His friend was rushed to the hospital after having a seizure.Pete Townshend then asked the audience “Is there anybody out there who can play drums?” Meanwhile, Artemus Pyle, the drummer for the opening band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, was backstage and explained that he couldn’t play with The Who because he didn’t know the songs.Moon had arrived at the show with a young female and was a bit jittery. But partway through Magic Bus he passed out again, and was carried offstage for good. It was November 20, 1973, when The Who opened their first U.S. tour in two years at the Cow Palace in San Francisco. The Who then began playing “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” and Moon ground to a halt before he passed out.
For his performance, the band gave him a tour jacket. Interesting story, I like their music. Kind of hard to believe he kept it together as long as he did – both at this concert, and in his life in general.In November 1973, Scot Halpin, a 19-year-old kid, scalped tickets to The Who concert in San Francisco, California. When Moon returned to the stage 30 minutes later, the band started playing "Magic Bus" -- but Moon again passed out, and the band played "See Me, Feel Me" without drums.
Then came a nine minute version of "Naked Eye." Meanwhile, Artemus Pyle, the drummer for the opening band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, was backstage and explained that he couldn’t play with The Who because he didn’t know the songs. He played two Howlin’ Wolf covers: "Smokestack Lightning" and "Spoonful." Little did he know that he'd wind up playing drums for the band that night -- that his name would end up etched in the annals of rock 'n' roll.if you like our Facebook fanpage, you'll receive more articles like the one you just read!Open Culture scours the web for the best educational media.
Throughout his performance, Moon was erratic. One of the weirdest tales in the Moon legend concerns the night Keith passed out onstage, and was replaced by a 19-year old drummer, pulled from the audience. His time as the band’s drummer ended with The Who original “Naked Eye.” After that song, Halpin took a bow with the band. The cause, a brain tumor. That night at the Cow Palace in Daly City, California, the first show of The Who's Quadrophenia tour, is one Halpin will never forget -- and as a rock-fan claim to fame, it's one of the coolest ones on record.Halpin was terrified, and later confessed that he had to hit the drums with the fat end of the stick, because he was not making any sound on the very large drums with the preferred thin end. They did the first set without drums – their drummer had sprained an ankle somehow getting off the bus. He was only 54 years old.I was at a Preservation Hall Jazz Band concert at Massey Hall in Toronto a few years ago. The rest of the Who struggled on through See Me Feel Me , with Townshend and bassist John Entwistle trying to fill in where the drums should be; Townshend, still playing guitar, even punctuated the song by kicking the cymbals.
