57 here and I know he's in better shape than me and I'm not that much out of shape myself. But I couldn't do do what he does every other night! Him and Pete are amazing!

As a woman I particularly love Roger because he and his wife stayed married for over 50 years. His autobiography is great and he never has one unkind word to say about anyone

[@racookster]

One wonders how rock musicians can do that. Temptations have to be endless. Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford of Genesis have only had one wife each: 49 years for Tony and 45 years for Mike. Tony will hit the 50-year mark on July 29, 2022.

[@debras1503]

I agree, and I also read his book

[@trefwoordpunk2225]

I know it's from 2015 but *_dang_* he looks 20 years younger than 71 or 72 (at the time). I'm sure he's taking good care of himself but there might be some favorable DNA in his background to look that young.

"Keith couldn't play normal drums…he could play great Moon drums!"

[@Mod-rw9cw]

That’s what he said

[@gabe_s_videos]

He was the best Keith Moon-type drummer alive.

[@kenhoward3512]

For all these ensuing years, I thought the song, "The Music Must Change" was deliberately minus drums, as a decision by Pete (and that the "squeaky shoes" keeping time were likely worn by Keith Moon). 'Still find the album cover haunting, with Keith, who died around then, sitting in the "Not To Be Taken Away" chair, backstage.

[@jamess.8223]

I thought I heard that before too, in fact I know I have. Interesting how things you know you've read or heard changes... Totally agree about the album cover though.

[@artlover1477]

Live At Leeds. Enough said.

[@martyhopkirk6826]

Totally agreed. Young Man Blues from that gig is, I think, the single best bit of concert footage ever, and makes you wonder why in 1970 any other band even bothered going anywhere near a stage

[@a_caserta]

Really need you to post the Harry interview please and thank you😊

[@amerocker]

I saw The Who play "Music Must Change" live in concert at the old Boston Garden, December 16, 1979. The original venue was razed in 1998.

[@elmoblatch9787]

Glyn Johns (producer of this album) talks about Keith's flubs in his autobiography. He asked Keith to quit drinking for a few days to improve his drumming and Keith responded, "Why don't you quit smoking?" Glyn quit smoking and Keith did not quit anything. Glyn also talked about Keith's antics and how they were "amusing" when retold but awful and "violent" if you were there. Glyn called Keith "pathetic" while praising the man's drumming.

[@angelicagonzalez151]

Why she says patetic?

[@77barrymac]

I recall something approximately along those lines. I imagine it's somewhat similar to any John Bonham stories - amusing and entertaining when retold years later, but not pleasant at all in the moment. The Glyn Johns book, by the way, is great. For that matter, so is the Zeppelin book I just finished.

[@seanparker7415]

@@angelicagonzalez151 it's literal meaning is invoking sadness or pity , so it was sad that Moon had so much talent but couldn't express it due to his drug taking.
