Check out photos, videos and reviews for the show!I was there. Long story but Roger himself comped my ticket. I still have it with his autograph. Will never forget it.
I was at there! Great seats , it was an awesome show.
My hometown! I was at this show. I was hanging at a bar across the street from the arena a couple hours before, and was lucky enough to meet some of the people from the symphony who were performing with them. Very cool!

On May 30, 2001 The John Entwistle Band played at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park
Wish I knew!..
Concert of the day
On May 30, 1981 Pete played a solo show at Brockwell Park in Brixton in support of a march against unemployment in Britain.
He performed "A Little Is Enough" (twice due to bad PA mix), "Cats In The Cupboard," "Big Boss Man," "Substitute," "Corrina Corrina," "Body Language," "Join Together" and "Let My Love Open The Door."
He was accompanied by Neil Abbott (guitar), Peter Hope-Evans (harmonica), Mark Brzezicki (drums) and Tony Butler (bass). Jim Capaldi comes out to do vocals for "Substitute."
Thanks to Marc Starcke for allowing us to share his collection of photos from this show!
We also have a SHORT video from this show here:
www.facebook.com/thewho.net/videos/2359228674360124/
He wasn’t in best shape, drinking very heavily being away from his family
Is this Jim Capaldi on photo 4?
Love this concert
Oh to have bin there, but unfortunately I was 11! It would be a year later til my Pete/WHO obsession began!
I think it's Neil Hubbard not Abbott.
Movie of the day
On May 30, 1977 official production of Who fan Jeff Stein's movie of the band, The Kids Are Alright, began.
Stein had proposed the movie to Pete two years before. The first weeks of production were spent in New York scouring archives for rare Who film.
The band really dumped on Jeff Stein for being inexperienced, but the fact is, he dug up a lot of footage that might have otherwise been lost to time, and he captured some very valuable footage of the band together before Moon died. I don’t know what they would have preferred, nor what the perfect “Who movie” would be, but Stein did the best he could with the materials/circumstances surrounding him, and we got one hell of a fun movie (and *killer* soundtrack album) out of it.
Won tickets to the movie premiere in SF! Enjoyed the show and was handed a cool Who T shirt on the way out of the screening . Long Live Rock and The Who!
Glad this was resynched for the DVD release. The video I had in the 80s ran about 10% too fast and made some of Roger's singing sound Mickey Mouse-ish
Great movie 🍿 Loved Tommy Smothers!
It's odd to see a "writing" credit on a documentary. Since 'Kids' is almost entirely archival footage; with no narration.
Stein later worked on the Barney Miller sitcom. It's always a kick to see his name in the credits.
love, love, love this film 🎥
Keith and John Rest In Peace
I have the DVD special edition
Most Excellent movie!
Awesome album and movie
That movie and soundtrack changed my life!
Iconic photo
when will we see a sequel?
I'm tellin' 'ya, toward the end, where Moon was wearing the Esso uniform was in (Pontiac?) Michigan, and it was my birthday, the sixth, movie says like, ninth. I got a cat that day! I could swear that's how I got my "boyfriend" to spend $8.00 on me!
Montevideo (Uruguay)
A fucking Masterpiece!
Video of the day
On May 30, 1975 Roger's disco-style single "Get Your Love" backed with "World Over," both from his forthcoming solo album Ride A Rock Horse, was released in Britain.
We present a video Roger made for "Get Your Love"
Oceans Away is my favourite from the album
One of my favorite albums. Every song is fantastic!
Wow, I haven’t heard this in ages and seeing this video to go along with it makes it all the better. Thank you!!
My 16-year-old self loved this album 🎶
And he was a talented tailor who made his own stage clothing! What a guy!
👍👍
👏👏👏👏👏
Wow! 😍
Falling, but slowly!20 Biggest Albums In America 43 Years Ago, May 30, 1981: REO Speedwagon holds down the top spot on the Billboard 200 Album Chart with “Hi Infidelity”. Tap on the album chart below to view all 20 album titles! Enjoy the memories!
The prices remind me that Tom Petty’s label informed him his record would sell for $9.98. Petty said, “Then I’ll title the album $8.98.” The label backed down.
Hadn't certified yet, I think it went platinum.
Single of the day
On May 30, 1975 Roger's disco-style single "Get Your Love" backed with "World Over," both from his forthcoming solo album Ride A Rock Horse, was released in Britain.
It failed to chart.
I like that deadpan "It failed to chart."

On May 30, 1974 filming of the "We're Not Gonna Take It" sequence at Harry Pound Scrapyard in Portsmouth began

Love this part of the movie. It’s one of the few songs when Russell didn’t go too far overboard And it was great!!
Interview of the day
On May 30, 1970 an interview with Roger appeared in New Musical Express.
Roger calls the way Tommy has taken over their live set "a bit of a monkey."
He says the upcoming shows at New York's Metropolitan Opera will be the last live performances of the rock opera.
If anyone has this issue, I'd love to get a photo or scan of the interview!

It would stay in the chart for 44 weeks, peaking at #4

Classic rock everybody my age remembers, but doesn’t hear very much, for the most part.
Concert of the day
On May 30, 1966 The Who play at the Sincil Bank Football Ground in Lincoln for the Whit Monday "Top Pop" Festival.
The Kinks, the Small Faces, and the Yardbirds are also on the bill.
I went to this bang on 10 o clock they switched the power off on the orders of the cathedral committee 😒

Accident of the day
On May 30, 1966 Pete is in an auto accident on the M1 on his way back to London after the Morecambe gig the night before.
The accident was front page news in the Reading Evening Post the same day!
It is incorrectly reported in the Netherlands, Germany and France that Roger has been killed in the crash and Polydor is inundated with calls.
Where were the “Roger is dead” clues on the LPs?

The Who performed in Las Vegas at the Colosseum in Caesars Palace on May 29, 2016. Check out the photo gallery, setlist, videos, articles and reviews for the show!I was in Las Vegas when John died. They had a show at the old Hard Rock, off of the strip, I believe. I did not have tickets for the show, I was flying out the day.
Yeah. I was there.
Video of the day
On May 29, 2007 Pete was on his girlfriend Rachel Fuller's webcast In The Attic where he performed an acoustic rendition of "I Can't Reach You"
Actually a Really good and underated song and if it wasn't released as single probably should have been
The first time I watched this a very young Adele came on and sang.
Sunrise is a Beautiful song with Rachel Fuller voice
Great song! From one of my most played Who albums.
I really appreciate these posts. It’s nice to see their individual work, as well as their work together as The Who
One of my favorite Who songs, a sometimes overlooked gem. I think we’ve all felt this way about someone. Pete Schille ❤️
It feels like he would jump and jump spliting his legs in joy.
I love Pete . So much talent in one man
Love this, I only became aware of Rachel's In The Attic long after the fact, I have watched them on YT and thoroughly enjoyed them, I love the one with A Quick One While He's Away.
From the Who album Who Sell out. Can't reach you. It's a cool album. 😎 1967. It's a little bit psychedelic album. But pretty cool.
Beautiful song 😍
Were either of the Oceanic shows filmed?
The Attic performance
👍👍
❤️
Ad of the day
On May 29, 1986 Kerrang! magazine, “Britain’s Heaviest Rock Mag”, features an ad for a special edition of Roger’s “The Pride You Hide”
Fantastic single should’ve been a smash
I always loved that song. My brain still immediately knows, "Track 4."
Sid Headbanger was having none of it…
Brilliant album
