LA Forum November 1973.

 

Did Keith ever really use those gongs on stage?

 

Damn

That is the Pictures of Lilly drum set about to ko an audience member

 

I honestly can't remember. Possibly at the end of "Love Reign O'er Me" would be my guess if he did.

 

I can't think of a time when he used the gongs. I think it's more of a thing where Queen, Fleetwood Mac and Zep had a gong, so Keith had to have two!

 

I just watched him used them in the Shepperton footage of Baba.

 

The legendary and anarchic Tiswas TV show, and its regular section called Compost Corner. The lovely Sally James is pictured on the right of the second photo. Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford of Genesis -- around the time of And Then There Were Three -- also took part in Compost Corner, and got suitably 'flanned'! Haven't heard Rog or Kenney speak about their appearance, but the Genesis guys said that their kids badgered them to appear because they loved the show so much, so they obliged.

"Keith is terrific. So fluid. It is as if his drum set is an entire orchestra and he is the conductor. A little fortissimo from the tom-toms, pianissimo from the cymbals." ~ Doors drummer John Densmore about Keith Moon in 1970

The Who ~ Metropolitan Opera House in NYC, June 1970
