One day - whack - the head fell off! The drums used to really disintegrate on their own - I hit them so hard. We were very visual onstage with theatrics, and Pete was always swinging his guitar about. MOON: We started earlier than that, actually. People started coming from all over, the Elephant And Castle and East End.ĬC: Had you started breaking equipment then? That was all our London Marquee, and the West End. gradually we built it up so that by the time we left the Marquee, it was getting packed.

We moved in and gave all these free tickets to these staunch supporters of ours from Shepherds Bush.Ī massive invasion took place with these guys - their chicks and friends and a few people must have wandered in. We took the club on a Tuesday night because nothing ever happened on a Tuesday. This was the start of the Marquee sessions. He would give them all a ticket and membership in the Hundred Faces, and make it very exclusive. Kit had an idea to get us into the West End and he wanted to form a nucleus of hardcore Who fans and call them the Hundred Faces.

MOON: This was the Shepherds Bush mod crowd who came to see us at the Goldhawk Road social club. Somebody’s got to look after them.ĬC: Is it true that when you first started playing the Marquee, fans were paid to come and see the Who? Kit first saw us in Harrow, and from there we signed with Kit and Chris. MOON: They arrived when we were playing the Scene Club as The High Numbers. This phase lasted a long time and at the time there were these legendary fights within the group.ĬC: When did Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp arrive? I don’t think we quite knew what we were doing, but before we knew it, we had all this mod gear, feeling totally out of place. We had a manager called Pete Meaden who thought up The High Numbers and the mod image. We went through various names, like any group. It was a friend of Pete’s idea to call them The Who. Then they changed their name to The Who and they were The Who when I joined them. MOON: They were the Detours, then on the circuit. They were an amazing crowd and they still are. I was just there and I’ve been there ever since. I can’t remember if he played or not, but the group said they didn’t want him. Then they asked me to play in the first number, but the man from Philips wanted to play.

They were turning up in one corner and it was dead embarrassing. He set up his kit and I set mine and nobody was saying anything. This chap from Philips turned up, and so did I, it was rather embarrassing.
