I’m looking forward to this film! 8)
While performing with The Who on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour”
one night in 1967, Keith Moon decided to surprise the audience by
augmenting the band’s standard pyrotechnic display with an enormous
charge of gunpowder. At the end of “My Generation,” Moon detonated his
drums.
The upshot? Moon was blown into the air and cut by flying shrapnel from his
cymbals. The explosion fried a camera, the studio’s monitors, and much of
guitarist Pete Townshend’s hair, and left Townshend with permanent hearing
damage.
