I saw the Who in 1975. I was only 13 and went with a big crowd of my older brother's mates. We were really close to the stage, just below where Pete Townshend was, but his footlights completely obscured a lot of the stage. I literally couldn't see Keith Moon at all until he jumped over his drum kit at the end. I couldn't see anything on the right side of the stage behind Townshend, so when the synthesiser played the opening of Baba O' Reilly I just assumed there was a keyboard player there, and I guessed it was Nicky Hopkins, who played a lot on Who"'s Next.

After the gig one of my brother's mates told me there was no keyboard player, and he felt cheated as it was obvious they'd used backing tapes 

Many years later I discovered the intro to Baba O' Reilly was not played by Nicky Hopkins but by Townshend.

Some more of Hopkins.

Oh Wow @TheCeleryKing where was it and how was it?

Love some of his stuff from the 70's. Have watched plenty of performances on youtube and the guy is an eccentric genius!

Jersey City, New Jerzee.  Bloke looked very good for his age.

An amazing musician.

Three great musicians.

 

 

 

 

 

Lyrics changed in the two renditions of a classic song. Robert Shaw was a fine actor.

 

 

Blunstone and Argent going strong 50 years later.

Never heard this before, but rather liked it 🙂 . Huge Velvet Underground influence no doubt ?
