My very first concert, I was front row center while the Who DID smash up everything! Amps, drums, I thought the drum set was going to land right on me. Moon just got up and lifted all the drums, and tossed them forward. Townsend was smashing his guitar into the floor and into the amps, then knocking them over and started to tear them apart. I was eyes wide open, never seeing anything like it. My first thought was, how often do they have to replace this stuff?
Wound up with Moons drumstick though, my first piece of rock memoribilia.
Then, Hermans Hermits took the stage.
