September 7, 1978, sometime during the night...

...Keith Moon slipped off to his next adventure. He was the best rock drummer ever. John Entwistle said, "There is only one drummer, the rest, replacements."

Enjoy a few clips.

YouTube - keith moon
YouTube - Keith Moon - The Who
and finally, my favorite:
YouTube - The Who - Keith Moon Destroy Drum Kit

He was a truly unique talent, and his contribution to the Who's sound has never been matched by any of the others.

When he was a lad, he was asked what he wanted to be, and he said "When I grow up, I want to be a drummer."

He was told he could only do one of those....


The irony was he OD on a medicine for curbing drinking...

He was the most amazing drummer. There will never be another Keith Moon. He was one of a kind.

An extraordinary wild cat drummer.
One of the greatest, for sure.
