Jane Scott (reviewer, Cleveland Plain Dealer) : Pete Townshend and Moon trashed their amps. Local group Cyrus Erie saved the night, wheeling their own amps up the aisles for The Who's encore. Teens wandered up on stage, took pictures and plastered paper flowers on Moon's drums. The band didn't seem to mind.
Eric Carmen (Cyrus Erie) : On July 14, 1968 we played with The Who. At this time we were doing a ton of Small Faces stuff plus songs by The Who, Byrds, etc. The Who had toured with The Small Faces, so we'd figure to impress them with our set. But after we saw The Who live, we decided to become a four-piece group, so Marty got his walking papers. Everyone felt terrible, cause he was a great guy, but he just wasn't right for the group.
I ended up being Roger Daltrey, crushed velvet pants and swinging the microphone! Wally was Peter Townsend, doing windmill chords to the extreme; and Michael McBride was so perfect in his ability to imitate Keith Moon that it was amazing; and his brother Michael - you guessed it - stood off in the corner motionless and chewing gum.
