If you think punk began in the mid to late seventies, you’re wrong…
The roots go back further, all the way back to The Who.
Keith Moon up to his usual tricks, had placed explosives in his bass drum, but overdid it, just a tad.
From the Smother Brothers Comedy Hour, September 1967.
Alannah Murphy is a former rock musician turned writer, currently working on a rock'n'roll novel set in London. 
And people wondered why The Who never made any real money. ))
Well, they did make quite a lot, though I think Keith spent a lot of it blowing up things lol
You got it Brian. Nobody knew and yes, poor Pete was closest to the blast and has always said this is the moment he lost his hearing, apparently his ears were ringing for quite a while. It is really a great moment though, totally iconic…
YESSS!!!!
Moony didn’t tell anybody what he was up to, so the grand finale was a total surprise to all. This is where Townshend lost most of his hearing.
