The Who: Keith Moon Years

The Who Keith Moon Years

The Who are one of the greatest rock’n’roll bands in the world. This is the story of their golden age, with the unique talents of drummer Keith Moon…

We start with a look at how the band came together.  Keith joined just in time for their first single, I’m the Face, released as The High Notes.

What a story they have to tell.  The awesome My Generation, used as the backdrop to their equipment smashing set finale.  The rock operas Tommy, Lifehouse and Quadrophenia and so much more…

The Who certainly made their mark on rock’n’roll history.

ROCK’N’ROLL UNRAVELLED SHOW

We’ll be looking at how rock’n’roll came about. It’s development into rock music in the mid-1960s and the array of rock genres which developed in the late 1960s and ‘70s.
Blues, R&B, rock’n’roll, rock, prog, folk rock, country rock, psychedelia, glam, early metal, punk, new wave +++, will all find their way into the shows.
Plus artists and bands, some well known and others more on the cult side. Stories behind classic singles and albums, record labels, venues, gigs… Not forgetting the people behind the scenes, managers, promoters, writers, Svengalis – the people who made it all happen.

If it’s relevant to the music of the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s I’ll be talking about it.
There will be some great music, some you’ll recognise and some you might well be hearing for the first time.
