Short story:

The Who play at Kelker Junction Concert Hall, Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA, supported by The Beast.

Full article:

It was odd to see Peter Townshend smashing his Gibson SG guitar to pieces while chewing gum. I actually had a piece of that guitar for a while but eventually lost it or gave it away to someone. There was a surprisingly small crowd on hand, but it was before the band had reached superstardom.
