keith moon

british drummer, 1946 – 1978, best known as the drummer for the who during their most creative period. at his peak (circa 1970), moon was probably the finest rock drummer that ever was. he was one of the first drummers to employ an extended drum kit (two b-ss drums, etc.) – more unusually, he had a style that could actually make full use of all the extra equipment. (listen to “cobwebs and strange” off “a quick one” to get some idea of what moon was capable of – not exactly a drum solo, but the closest thing he ever recorded to one.) his ability was progressively eroded by substance abuse and a destructive lifestyle up to his death in 1978. his p-ssing effectively marked the end of the who, although they released two more alb-ms of original material (with kenny jones as drummer) and have continued to tour intermittently since.
one of my greatest regrets is not seeing a performance by the who with keith moon at his peak.
