THE WHO - SISTER DISCO



KEITH MOON WILL NOT BE SEEN TONIGHT.....

This song has been dropped from the later WHO sets - which is a shame. This is actually a very good song. This was taken during the first Farewell Tour. The replacement drummer is Kenny Jones. Keith Moon, the former drummer, had a date with destiny after taking an overdose of pills and booze.

This punchy type performance is brilliant stuff. It came off terrible when it was released later as WHOS LAST, (Yes I bought it on tape!) as the sound levels were very muddy. As with all their performances you have to take the good with the bad and be lucky you got anything at all. I have heard some of the legendary 1976 performances on CD snippets and off DVD's floating around and those are much better if you can find them.

The latest WHO releases showcase a very different type of band. This was how I remembered them as a performing band -- loud, edgy and animated.
