I don't know if this has been shown here before, but there are some nice photos and stories about the concert in 1976.

Moony as usual was on form, he dug a hole in the roof of the changing rooms before the show and when onstage he shouted the following at Townshend after being interrupted by the guitarist during Keith's "Tommy" intro...

"Shut up! You'd think you've got some kind of vested interest. I've seen your vests, and they stink...underneath this I'm totally nude! I don't need any of your great flowing poncey robes. I don't need all your glittering sequins to be a star! I don't need to jump in the air...flash what little crotch I've got...and I must admit I've had no complaints."

As a big fan of the Who with ever-growing interest in the history of the Valley, this was a cracking little read.

Great pics - many thanks.
