Fact #126525
When:
Short story:
The Who record an appearance on UK tv show Ready, Steady, Go!es Live! at Wembley Studios, Wembley, London, England, UK, Europe. They also play a show at The Ricky-Tick Club, Guildford.Full article:
Kim Kerrigan (girlfriend of The Who's drummer Keith Moon] : That (Ready, Steady, Go!es Live!) was when Keith introduced me to the pills. I was ready for it. I loved it.
Chris Stamp (co-manager, The Who) : They were like these two children together, these two incredible beauties. They were besotted. They couldn't keep their hands off each other.
Keith Moon : When I started showing off a bit, the directors would notice. There were two great directors, Mike Lindsey-Hogg and Mike Mansfield and they started getting the camera on the drums. Ready, Steady, Go! and Top Of The Pops really treated the band as a whole and, up until then, it was just Billy Fury and his group or Adam Faith and his group. Most of the TV in those days was only a couple of cameras, one trained on the front of the singer and the other getting a side shot of the singer and they never bothered with the rest of the group.
They were always there as part of the furniture. It wasn't until Townshend started smashing guitars and I started smashing up the drums that the producers of the shows began to realize that there was more than the singer in the band. They'd actually line up a camera for the drums, which was a first. People started to actually notice the drummer.
