The Who rock the Summit


Sometimes I forget how much I love The Who. The original line-up of the group opened The Summit, nee Asspaq Center and now the Lakewood Church, on the 20th of November in 1975. In these two videos, viewable on YouTube, The Who shred an audience with versions of "Behind Blue Eyes" followed by excerpts from Tommy. Pay special attention to Keith Moon's monologue after the top video, and notice Townsend's signature guitar play at the end of "Sparks" on the video below.
Other 70s performances at The Summit that survive into the 21st century include a widely bootlegged concert from Queen recorded December 11, 1977.

Thanks for sharing ... the keyboard player you're referring to is Texan born John Rabbit Bundrick, who toured off and on over the years with The Who and also played on the Free "Heartbreaker" LP ...
