50 Years Ago today: Keith Moon Involved in Outrage! Bribing police and impersonating an officer of the law! #TheWho
Surprise! Surprise! Moon involved in outrage by Derek Johnson. It would appear that backstage at one of the Oo’s concerts in Chicago, Moon acquired a policeman’s uniform. The story goes on that he purchased it for 300 dollars from one of the local precinct who’d been detailed to protect the band, leaving the cop standing guard outside their dressing room clad only in underpants, socks and gun-belt! The mind boggles at the reaction of the local Kojak when he returned to headquarters. Moon has subsequently been putting the uniform to good use. The Oo’s itinerary has taken them to c couple of “dry” states, where he has taken the opportunity of confiscating contraband alcohol from members of the audience. What eventually became of this liquor is anyone’s guess. He has also taken to patrolling queues outside concert halls where the band are appearing and has been spotted searching likely looking suspects for “certain substances.”

Ah, the joys of AI.
AI Overview from Google that claims The Who’s “My Generation” single was released on this date in 1975 and links to a video of Bing Crosby.

50 Years since the best concert I ever saw: The Who at The Omni, Atlanta. #TheWho
Pete Townshend, The Omni, Atlanta Nov. 24 1975 Atlanta Journal Nov. 25 1975. Atlanta Knows Who’s ‘Who’ by Scott Cain. Members of the Who gave a tremendous performance at the Omni Monday night. In effect, the group did four encores. The audience, which endured great discomfort owing to the chaotic seating arrangement, simply would not let the band leave. For intensity, the concert would be difficult to duplicate. The Who didn’t let up for a minute, leaping from one powerful arrangement to another. The band seemed like an army, although the four members used hardly any visual or aural supplementation. Roger Daltrey, the singer, was like a drum major leading a parade. With his great, golden mane and his astonishing athletic vigor, he radiated a high energy level. He was unable to remain still for a moment, prowling the stage in the few moments when his voice was not in use. Daltrey’s sheer lung capacity was used more than his vocal finesse, rock concerts being what they are, and it’s testament to his fortitude that he was still going strong at the end of a two-hour set. Daltrey’s presence was matched stunt for stunt by Pete Townshend, the Who’s legendary lead guitarist and principal songwriter. While Daltrey made maximum use of his celebrated microphone-twirling stunt, Townshend trotted out his own repertoire of antics. It is a mark of his genius that they seem as fresh as they did in the beginning of the Who’s legendary career.
