Keith Moon passes out partway though the set. He is eventually replaced by a fan from the audience who drums on the last two songs!

| Notes: | My Notes: Cow Palace is a Pro-Shot Black & White video, filmed for Bill Graham's personal collection, chronicalling one of the most famous Who concerts of all time. It was the first night of the 1973 American tour. What an amazing experience it must have been for Scott Halpin. The Who could quite easily have quit the concert on a couple of ocassions. Keith Moon passed out twice towards the end of the concert, before Pete Townshend recruited a drummer from the audience. There is some sound/noise interference present, but not all the way through. BGP Archive Timestamp is present throughout, at bottom of screen. Picture quality is very good to excellent (for a B&W shot video). Sound quality is average to very good, as the main description states; it is bassy. Other noticable highlights: John Enwistle is sporting his Skeleton Suit. Roger Daltrey has the obligatory 70's shaggy perm. Pete Townshend dons a skinny-fit shirt and wide flairs. And Moon The Loon, well, enough said. By Hntgzr. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following text is by Brad Harvey: It was November 20, 1973, and The Who were at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, opening their first American tour in two years. Halpin and a friend, both Who fans, were in the audience. Before the show, The Who's madcap drummer Keith Moon had been drinking with two girls backstage. Unbeknownst to Moon and the girls, someone had spiked their drinks with monkey tranquilizer. When Moon took the stage, the deadly drug was already coursing through his veins. As the concert went on, the 19-year-old Halpin and the audience began to realize something was wrong--the normally effervescent Who drummer was dragging. Midway through the classic song 'Won't Get Fooled Again', Moon slumped over his drum kit, passed out cold. Who guitarist Pete Townshend, no doubt having seen Moon in this condition many times before, joked to the crowd, "We're going to try and revive our drummer by punching him in the stomach and giving him a custard enema." A half-hour later, after reviving Moon in the shower, The Who returned to the stage but Moon lost consciousness again. At this point, Townshend turned to the crowd and announced, "Can anybody play the drums? I mean somebody good!" By this time, Halpin and his friend had made their way through the crowd to the left side of the stage. Moon, still well out of it, had staggered over and was arguing with a security guard when concert promoter Bill Graham arrived on the scene. Gazing at the sea of hands of would-be drummers in the audience, Graham took note of Halpin's friend pushing Halpin forward. Next thing he knew, Halpin found himself backstage with Graham and Moon's drum roadie, getting a quick lesson on Moon's drum set-up. Taking his place behind Moon's massive drum kit, far bigger than anything Halpin had ever played in his life, Halpin introduced himself to Who singer Roger Daltrey. The band and their substitute drummer proceeded to crash through several songs, finishing the show. Afterwards, Daltrey praised Halpin, saying, "None of the papers picked up on it but he was good." Halpin told Rolling Stone magazine at the time, "I really admired their stamina. I only played three numbers and I was dead." Moon and his drinking companions survived being dosed (though one of the girls nearly died) and the drummer went on to five more years with The Who before succumbing to an accidental drug overdose in 1978. Since that night, Scott Halpin's literal 15 minutes of fame with The Who has been chronicled in numerous magazine articles. It's mentioned in two major book biographies on the band and film footage of the night has even made it to video store shelves via the documentary, 'The Who: Thirty Years of Maximum R&B Live.' | |||||

| Notes: | The WHO "Fallout '73-Take A Little Too Much Dope..." Cow Palace-San Francisco 20nov1973-Opening Night of North American Tour Black & White-In House audio/video feed w/time code. MPEG-2 w/2.0 Dolby Hi-Res Art will be posted in "Comments" as well as some screen caps. If you are a Who fan, start downloading, it's the finest version out there. A very significant piece of RnR history caught on the house system at The Cow Palace...Keith Moon collapses and is down for the count late into the first show of the tour...to be replaced by an audience member...who must have felt like the luckiest guy on Earth...at Keith's expense. Looking back at this footage, it is very sad to see anyone in this condition, Luckily for the audience and the other band members, the bulk of the show was over, and the outstanding set includes a great deal of Quadrophenia. So, for all it's worth, this is The Who at their creative peak, though obviously frustrated by Moon's condition. It's too bad that the night that was filmed was so f'd up !!! But that's The WHO !! Please don't sell this on Ebay. It's not yours to sell. This goes out to my main man HNTGZR who has provided so much great material to the Who community. | |||||
