The Who at Charlton Athletic Football Ground, London, England on 18 May 1974

Drowned
-------------------
There are men high up there fishing
Haven't seen quite enough of the world
I ain't seen a sign of my heroes
And I'm still diving down for pearls
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, and set me free
I'm flowing under bridges
Then flying through the sky
I'm traveling down cold metal
Just a tear in baby's eye
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, rush over me
I am not the actor
This can't be the scene
But I am in the water
As far as I can see
I'm remembering distant memories
Recalling other names
Rippling over canyons
And boiling in the train
Let me flow into the ocean
Let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in, rush over me

Great stuff, that had me grinning from ear to ear for six and a half minutes, Keith's playing (in fact all the band!) on this track is something else and I'm loving the double gong/double bass drum set up. Thanks for posting this.

I salute you sir thank you 💙 , one of my friends who is 10 years older than me went to the 3 1976 UK gigs he still clowns on me about it to this day lol. At Charlton when they were recorded as the loudest live band, and I'm sad to say also the last time Keith played a live concert in England (apart from the Shepperton bits for TKAA movie) I'm pretty sure you already know this ☺. I really obsess about their Woodstock set, I've seen everything on offer footage wise and obviously I have the full audio but man I would swap 10 years of my life to have been there at that time.

I have the Charlton 74 Concert and watched it many times but funnily enough I never noticed the Video tapes, I will look out next time I watch it.
