These guys later changed their name to something else, if memory serves. Have no idea what happened to them, of course.

As usual with them I can't stop watching the drummer.
Is Daltrey the Ace Face or what in those wraparound shades!
Anybody else notice that Entwhistle looks like Pino Pallidino in this clip? Eerie!
Who did?
Happy Birthday Steve from a fellow October twenty firster. I have always enjoyed your postings, wishing for many more and birthdays too.

Yes, Steve, best wishes on your birthday. I was a dedicated reader of Stereo Review from the mid-70s to the early-90s and your reviews, more than anything else, compelled me to buy each issue. You turned me on to a lot of great albums (Marshall Crenshaw's first album, the Byrds" 60s classics, Moby Grape's debut, the first solo album by Nils Lofgren on A&M, to name just a few.) And some day (not now) I'll tell you an interesting story about that Marcus Hook "Natural Man" 45, which continues to elude me. By the way, love the Who, too. J. Lag
Very cool clip, which I've never seen before. That said, this version is so dull compared to the Miracles' original, featuring not just one of Smokey's best vocals, but a smoking instrumental track and the great "Quarter To Three"-ish production.
This song was a Mod anthem, and I have no idea why it wasn't a bigger hit in the U.S. There ain't no justice, sometimes.
Who knew there was footage of "The High Numbers"?

Keith Moon was a killer drummer.
Wow! Daltry never looked cooler, and I love Townshend's dance steps. Ahhh those were the daze.
Nice but why not post most of the show ?
They played better stuff than this...
