Full article:
Dennis McCoy (audience) : Out of the shadows Bill Graham, himself, walks up to a mike..."Ladies and gentlemen, from England - The Who".
That was my introduction to The Who -Live. In a half empty arena, with 500 to 600 local San Francisco hippies as fellow observers, and the biggest, loudest blast of sound I've ever heard. I don't remember the songs done that night, because I was so overwhelmed at being five feet from
everything I'd ever hoped for. If you saw The Who in those years, you can fill in the blanks. If you didn't - maybe because you weren't born yet - well, I don't know. There's no putting it into words. You had to have been there.
