The Who - Face Dances Art Show

On the 11 March 1981, a luncheon party for the artists who contributed to the cover of The Who's album FACE DANCES is held at Searcy's in Knightsbridge, London. The Who discuss their portraits with some of the great talents of 1960's and 1970's British art including Peter Blake, Allen Jones, Howard Hodgkin, Colin Self, Bill Jacklin, David Tindle, Patrick Procktor, and Richard Hamilton. Also in attendance is Paul Simonon of The Clash. Afterward the assembled pieces of the cover are moved to the Tate Gallery.

Superb album!!!

[@TedMaloney]

Cool clip and editing. I like the barrage of questions "Is this your last tour? Are you righting a book? Are you doing another solo album? Blah blah blah..." Thanks Brian. I hope all is well in Atlanta. T E D

Big "Spinal Tap" energy.

That was my first impression: Spinal Tap. LOL!

Suits and champagne - the spirit of The Who really died with Keith.

Paul Simonon? ...oh, that's right--before he joined The Clash he was an art student in London.
