  1. Townshend Shocked Who Didn't Implode

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">The fact that The Who didn&rsquo;t break up years ago still astonishes Pete Townshend. In a new interview, the guitarist credits the late Keith Moon of all people with keeping the band intact. Townshend said, &ldquo;Bands are peculiar things. It could be magic, in a way, two musicians performing together. It doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean they will be friendly. You can walk onstage with a bunch of people that you hate and produce fantastic music. We tended to cover up with crazy behavior&hellip; Keith kept the atmosphere light. He kept everybody happy.&rdquo;</span>

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Forget &ldquo;who are you?&rsquo; &ndash; Roger Daltrey and the other members of The Who were asking Pete Townshend&ldquo; where are you?&rdquo; after the guitarist unexpectedly walked offstage during the encore of Friday night&rsquo;s opening show of their Quadrophenia and More tour in Sunrise, FL. Townshend left the stage during &ldquo;You Better You Bet,&rdquo; appearing to be pissed about the excessive volume coming out of the sound monitors. The group soldiered on without Townshend, closing the show with &ldquo;Baba O&rsquo;Riley.&rdquo; Townshend&rsquo;s brother and bandmate Simon later tweeted, &ldquo;Pete walked off tonight because it was too loud. Was a good show but had some technical problems.&rdquo;</span>
