The Who at the Fillmore West in June 1969. 3 bucks general admission. They performed two sets. Set 1 started included Heaven and Hell, Can't Explain, Tatoo, I'm a Boy, Substitute, Happy Jack, A Quick One, Summertime Blues,Shakin'All Over and My Generation. No instruments smashed. Set 2 was all of Tommy, a reprise of Summertime Blues and Shakin' All Over, and finished with Magic Bus. It was the first and best Who show I saw. Saw them again at SF Civic in 1971, the infamous 1973 Cow Palace show in which Moonie collapsed with a drug OD, and the Oakland Colloseum show in 1976. None of those subsequent shows matched the energy of the 1969 Fillmore show. The Who in their prime years were nuclear and I feel so lucky to have been there.
