Fact #159924

When:

Short story:

The Who play at The Forum, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, supported by The Troggs.

Full article:

Reg Presley (vocalist, The Troggs) : About 17,000 people turned up to hear us. We'd been going down very well when, halfway through the act, everyone started applauding and I thought, 'That's good,' – cos we weren't actually playing at the time. Then we discovered that the news of Lyndon Johnson's resignation had just reached the auditorium.

Unknown reviewer : The Who went down fine but they keep getting their equipment nicked. Every time Keith Moon kicks over the drums, the audience consider that he has given them a present of his kit and walk off with drums and cymbals.
