Fact #176246
When:
Short story:
At Eltham Baths, Eltham Hill, South London, England, UK, Europe, The Who play a gig with Viv Prince of The Pretty Things standing in for Keith Moon, who has fallen ill with whooping cough. Keith will not return to the band until the 17th.Full article:
Phil May (vocalist, Pretty Things) : I always remember Keith coming and standing in front of our set, watching the gig, right in front of the drums. Cause Viv was amazing. He'd hit anything – mike stands, fire bucket, just anything he'd play. Drummed on the floor, on the guitars themselves. Keith, later, would also say he idolised Viv. Before that, playing drums was quite sedentary. Boring. And, through Viv, you'd suddenly realise you could be a drummer but also an extrovert.
You could be a star and play your drums too. I think Keith realised he could be Keith, and didn't have to switch instruments. He could still play the drums and let out all his lunacy through the drum kit.
