The Life and Legacy of Rock Legends, The Who

There was a night in San Francisco when Keith took too much of something and passed out mid-show, right there behind the drums. The band didn’t stop. They looked around, confused, then asked the crowd if anyone could play. A teenager raised his hand. They pulled him onstage, and he played with them for the rest of the set.

It sounds made up, but it happened. That moment—equal parts disaster and magic—said a lot about The Who. They lived in the unexpected. You never knew what would happen at their shows, and neither did they.
