The Who This Month @BrianInAtlanta Tweeter feed tipped me to this Melody Maker review, which perfectly captures the band as both ordinary – tea-shirted [sic] Keith Moon and soberly dressed Townshend and utterly otherworldly. Hawkwind would have nothing on the Who at Yeovil:
The Who have a kind of bizarre science-fiction appeal – electronically violent, deafeningly strident, all rather removed from reality. There is no other group on the current scene remotely like them. . . there was a sort of sensual excitement about the performance – this in spite of the group’s doleful, deadpan expressions.
