Who!
September 23, 2012
People try to put us down
Just because our panties are down.
The Who live on a Herman’s Hermits Tour.I was always a big Who fan, and one of the best things about being a pop star is that you got to invite your favourite rockers on tour with you. If you look in the background you can see silly dressed Herman and some Hermits watching the Who, who were a pop band then, and opened with Barbara Ann and got to smash our stage gear for free for a whole USA/Canada tour. We were also joined by the Blues Magoos.
Anyone see this tour?
`It was a special moment in the 60s
Salt Lake City always a Herman’s HERMITS HIGHLIGHT AND STILL IS TODAY!

hi peter when you next back in blighty then ?….bazza
I see striped legs behind a speaker and assume it is a stage hand. It would be so neat if he could see this photo! I wonder if he would recognize his pants? LOL! :)
Nice thing about computers and U tube is you can look back at music. Blues Magoos on Jack Benny …..wow!! :)
I like seeing these old photos from “back in the day” when guitar players varied the sound by adjustments on their guitars with tone and volume controls and which pickups were selected. Perhaps you’d see one effects pedal. Today, no guitarist is complete on stage without an array of 6 to 10 stompboxes at his/her feet.
Nextstar Borders Thanks after meeting them at Symphony Hall in Newark we were friends by this show. I was part of their crew by then, me Kenny their stage manager and John ‘”Wiggy” Wolfe their road manager and a fun crazy Englishman that was the crew.
Nextar is commenting on the Convention Hall Asbury Park show that the picture us from, he worked sound .,
Oh man! If only we could go back to those days when you could get front row concert tickets for $5.00 to see The DC5, HH, The Stones, or The Beatles! What happened?
It’s called corporate GREED ………..and the demise of the capitalist system……………….
Peter, Asbury Park Convention Hall is still alive and well !!! Everyone around here would Love to see you come back.
By the way, absolutely thrilled about that Dec. 8th concert in Antwerp . . . . FINALLY, a concert near Atlanta, GA!!
Sorry, too bitchy comment, even for me . . . . wish I could erase.
Sure, there’s lots of love to go around, right?
This should be under KB’s comment, but I think it stands alone as well? :-)
So . . . . you ‘dreamed a dream by the old canal’ . . . . you might be wandering in Dublin, in Amsterdam (in which case, it might be a wet dream) or you could just be strolling around Annapolis, MD . . . . 3 very different scenarios . . . . care to elaborate one one (or all) of them in a new blog (sorry, but I’m getting tired of The Who???
But one person CAN love two groups, am I not right??
KB…karen
As I recall, in the 60′s that was called Free Love; and in the 70′s, the place for that, in NYC was called Plato’s Retreat!!
How about the “Cafe Wha?”…in NYC………..Hendrix’s old stompin’ ground….anyone ever been there? It was converted from an olde riding stable……(sounds like my kind’a place).
Would LOVE to hear about it!!!
I’m pretty sure that was in the Village, Lady K . . . . but I think you’re missing my point on Plato’s Retreat (tho, since I was living in LA at the time, I can’t vouch for it personally — only heard rumors) . . . . and I surely wish Master Peter would start a new blog!!!!
True Claudia! That one flew right by me (can you tell I was a minister’s daughter who grew up in a small Northern township?) I guess I’m a modern hippie where free love means spiritual love. You must be talkin’ Studio 54……where everybody had sex right out in the open, are you not? (I missed that period piece) It went back to rape and pillage for a while…..then there’s Alexander Pope’s poem “The Rape of the Lock” 1712-14…..about all the chickies of the 60′s coming at their favorite pop stars with scissors to get some of their lovely locks…….a poem a head of it time for sure!!!!!;)
