Has to be up there as one of the best drummers of all time, may have been a nutter but behind a drum kit he was a picture of dedication and concentration and on another level.

I'm lucky to have seen the Who while Moon was still alive and Zeppelin with Bonham bashing the drums,. I also saw the definitive E Street band line up in 82.
Owzat?

It was demolished about 30 odd years ago by one of the blokes from ERASURE who owned it.
My mate used to live on St Anns Hill as a kid, and I remember this happening.

Shame. Was quite a wacky design as I remember. Unusual for this country of dull, identikit houses.

My brother used to deliver Moon's newspapers to that gaff.
Tara House, it was called.

Never really got the hang of hi hats. Townshend insisted he use them on Who Are You.
Moon was all fat and washed up and couldn't play properly by then. He was 31 😮

He wasn't the most techical and could be a bit all over the place but it really worked because The Ox held the whole band together.

He died shortly after this. Even now, an incredible performance, by all. "Won't Get Fooled Again" 1978. THIS is ROCK.

The Who died when Moon died.

I used to drink in The Anglers in Teddington where their exploits were legendary, including holing up in one of their houses now and then with crates of whisky for drinking competitions. Loser was the first to be taken to hospital.
Bit before my time unfortunately.

‘They should've jacked it in when Moon bought the farm’
You could probably say that for most bands, that continued after losing a key player.

That is fantastic Geoff
It a brilliant collective performance but the bass playing is astonishing.
