I know exactly where I was on Friday, 29th January 1965. I was watching the TV show Ready Steady Go! I was sitting in an armchair in my parent's lounge about eight feet from the TV screen. Cathy McGowan introduced a new group called The Who. When the TV cameraman did a close-up of Pete Townsend hitting the first chord of 'I Can't Explain' with his windmill arm, within half a second I was six inches from the TV and stayed glued to the spot for the next two and a half minutes. That was my first taste of The Who and they remain my favourite band to this day.

I remember when I was 13 years old, the year was 1980.. and I wanted to go see them in concert and my father said no, because I was too young. In retrospect, it would have been a good concert and compared to modern day music, The Who kept it pretty clean. Fast forward to 2020, I bought tickets to see them, and Covid hit 🙁 I ended up going to a Rockies game. Someday I will see The Who live, I hope.
