the 'oo on the 'tube

wow. found a vidclip from my very first concert, forest hills ny, 7.31.1971, on youtube. quality kinda suxxx, but i was there. two nights before, it piss-poured rain and a kid got stabbed to death outside. this particular night, townshend broke four sg's and entwistle broke his thunderbird. "love ain't for keeping" was their opening song back then.



wish i coulda seen 'em in '69-'70, when they were opening with "heaven and hell."



also found a clip of the first time i saw 'em on tv, in 1969, on, um, this is tom jones. who'd a thunk it? looks like they're lip-synching to a live track they recorded for the show, 'cos it definitely ain't the rekkid.
