Sleep On The Beach

1973 BROADCAST FROM THE WHO’S QUADROPHENIA TOUR  By 1973, the Who had begun recording their Quadrophenia album, the rock opera about mod culture. The Quadrophenia tour started in Stoke on Trent in October ‘73 - the same month the record was released - but was immediately beset with sound and relationship problems. Their US tour started on 20 November at the Cow Palace; a legendary show during which Keith Moon passed out, prompting Pete Townshend to ask the audience, "Can anyone play the drums? I mean somebody good." The show was completed with audience member Scott Halpin behind Moon’s kit.  The Who’s penultimate gig in the US during their ‘73 tour, was performed at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on December 4th. Playing a stunning concert which for many fans was the best show of the tour, the Who ripped through an extraordinary set, bookended by Who classics, but with a dynamic selection of numbers from Quadrophenia at its core.
