The story goes they told Keith to put a little charge in his kit before the show and it would be alright. Well Keith being the overindulgent one disreguarded this and put a heftey charge in and almost blew up the stage. |
actually keith and pete came up with the idea before the show, and a stagehand set it up with one charge. then keith snuck in and put in another one. and pete did the same thing right before the show started, so when keith set it off there was a triple charge of explosive in the drum, thats why petes hair started on fire, he also had minor shrapnel wounds(so did keith)and it contributed to pete's hearing loss later in life.
the who were my first discovery, then one cold january afternoon i stumbled upon dark side of the moon, and the rest as they say is history
