The Who are my favorite band, so I really enjoyed this retrospective. You included so many clips that I have never seen. Fantastic.

Hi Jeff! Moon the Loon.....after Bonham, my fave rock drummer. Ringo and Charlie are tied for third. But yeah, Moonie's death was unfortunately among the least surprising moments in rock history. Great video once again!

Thanks John! I agree with all your drummer picks. Sadly he was living on borrowed time. A shell of the drummer he once was. In his prime there was no one better.

It's cool to see Keith in the David Essex 1975 film Stardust as a member of his band The Stray Cats ! ( Dave Edmunds also in the band ). It's streaming.

Another great installment Jeff! Keith Moon used to be one of my all time favorite drummers at one point but has moved down that list a bit over the years. His style definitely helped shape the Who’s sound in the early years and contributed to them being one of the most exciting live acts ever during late 60’s through early 70’s era. But I think Pete grew more and more frustrated with him due to Keith’s limitations as a drummer when it came to Pete wanting to expand in his songwriting style. I really believe Pete was ready to fire Moon around the time he passed anyway. I guarantee there would have been a lot of “ghost” drummers appearing on any Who studio record after “Who Are You “ if Keith hadn’t died. Also it’s hard to get past Keith’s abuse to people around him when he was drunk, which unfortunately was all the time. He was a horrible person to people close to him, especially those who worked for him. His style was all energy and bravado which early on was a thing of beauty to behold. Unfortunately no one can keep that up.

Thanks Gary! I agree with your assessment of Moon. Not a good guy unless you were his drinking buddy. He flamed out well into what should have been his prime and was a shell of his former self by the time of Who Are You. The drinking had a lot to do with it but he also let his skills atrophy while the Who were on hiatus.

Another great video Jeff. I wont say Keith had the same impact on me as Michael Hutchence (I was 7 when he died) but the Who surely did. My brother gave me his copy of the Who By Numbers around the same time, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Thank you!

@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 They were fantastic. Watching a Split Enz documentary while I wait for a couple of new additions to my silly collecting of their vinyl albums. Funny you get the new album by a band (Crowded House) and it prompts you to go waaay back to the beginning 🤓

Another great episode Jeff! As a drummer for over 50 years, I grew up listening to the greatest drummers. Ringo, Ginger, Bonham and surprisingly Thom Mooney from Nazz. I like to think that these guys taught me to some extent. But ….can never get enough Keith Moon.🙂 👍🏻

Thanks! There is no one who compares to Keith for better or worse. One of the most energetic, uncompromising and unconventional drummers of all time.

Great episode Jeff, what a loss for rock and roll. What a force they were live. I wish I could have seen them with Moon, unfortunately my first Who show was 1982 with Kenny Jones. That 1982 tour was billed as their "farewell tour"😃 This series has been awesome!

Excellent episode as always Jeff. You really put a lot of work into these, finding all the obscure clips, etc. Looking forward to Steve Marriott. Maybe Tommy Bolin (if and when you ever have the time)! Thanks 👍

Hi Jeff!!! i think Keith's death was a tragedy waiting to happen.... i think he was a very important piece in the sound of the band in their early years, but as the sound of band was getting more and more complex don't know if his style would fit the vision Townsend had.... cheers and be well

Thanks Cristian! Unfortunately his skills deteriorated in the 70’s and he became less important to their overall sound. Cheers!

I love Keith Moon's drumming. He made The Who's songs explode out of my speakers. But I never much cared for him when he stepped out from behind the drum kit - and I'm not even referring to the stories of his abusive nature. I'm referring to seeing him in interviews and films. In interviews I found him insufferable much of the time; the guy who thinks he's being "wild and outrageous", but is really just annoying. As an actor, I only have one real film to reference - and you played a couple clips of it in your vid; that film being "Sextette". "Sextette" is one of my favorite "so bad it's good" films; it's a complete talent bomb - so many famous people in it, all of their performances terrible. But Keith is so freaking over the top, I once again find myself saying "Shut up, SHUT UP!" 😄His character is so annoying. Just look at that clip you played - "Wild silk. Wild silk! WILD WILD SILK!". Yeah, we get it Keith. Now, please shut up and drum. I can't imagine how Harry, Alice, Ringo, and Mickey could stand being around him so much; probably bc they were as drunk as he was.

Yes, he was one of those people who was constantly putting on an act. Shut up and drum! 😂 By the end he couldn’t even do that.

I became a drummer thanks to two people - Peter Criss and Keith Moon. I think Keith's behavior was tolerated by the guys in The Who because he was such an attention seeker and this drew in crowds early on. Later on when Keith lost his marbles each member wanted to go solo. The Who were the greatest live band in the history of Rock n Roll. Period. You got sloppy stage hands around here Jeff!
