…was this one. The Who at the Kilburn State. The gig was being filmed for a documentary called “The Kids Are Alright”. It was supposed to be a secret but everyone round our way knew about it and a kind hearted doorman let us all in for nothing. It remains, to this day, the best live concert I’ve ever seen. The Who at the peak of their powers.They’d already been going for about fifteen years but if you’d have told us they’d still be going in 2014, we’d have laughed. And yet they’ll be at the O2 in a couple of weeks’ time, celebrating their 50th anniversary. Two of them are dead, the other two are nearly 70, so I have no desire to see them now. It would be like watching another childhood hero, Rodney Marsh, turning out for QPR. Though given my team’s current plight, that might not be such a bad idea.
The first gig I ever went to….
