And that's what happened, much to the chagrin of Pete Townshend and the Smothers Brothers.

Keith Moon was one of the best and the below clip proves it. If any band was going to blow up on TV in 1967 - literally explode - it would be The Who, and particularly their loose cannon drummer Keith Moon. A one-off capable of making dancefloors swell, eyes widen and heartbeats rise.
So while other drummers could easily be called the best, Ginger Baker and John Bonham to name the obvious two, Moon is utterly unique. Moon once described himself as the “greatest Keith Moon-type drummer in the world” and it’s a fitting assessment. Keith Moon is commited to preserving the legacy of the late. I wish I was capable of such tears today. Charlie Watts wept at Keith Moon’s funeral.

While we wouldn’t dare to contend such a title here, we would suggest that the furious firepower and yet undeniable flair with which Moon approaches this solo proves he’s certainly in contention. Keith Moon Estate officially licensed merchandise, and special offers. Right after the news of Charlie Watts’ passing in August, 2021 at the age of 80, The Who guitarist Pete Townshend recalled on his Instagram that the drummer wept at Keith Moon’s funeral back in 1978: Full Moon. It’s a fact which has left many people to consider him a cheap pick for the title of “greatest drummer of all time”. The drummer was a hedonistic rock and roller and fell into a dangerously debauched lifestyle from a very young age. Often ‘Moon the Loon’ is only remembered for his crazy behaviour. At the age of 12, he had joined the Sea Cadet Corp. The drummer soon fostered a reputation for a hard-partying. The drummer rumbles through an entrancing fill and creates a passionate power that seemingly compels the crowd to start dancing. Keith John Moon was born to working class parents in Wembley, London, England, on the 23rd August, 1946. The Wembley-born Moon joined the British rock outfit behind monster tracks such as Pinball Wizard and Won’t Get Fooled Again in 1964. The Who’s Keith Moon is largely regarded as one of the greatest drummers of all time and it is moments like this which prove he deserves his credentials. It would be enough to get people talking but where Moon was really at his best was getting the audience dancing.
