Keith Moon Passes Out at the Cow Palace November 20, 1973 and is Replaced by Scott Halpin.

I cleaned up this vid to better synch audio... Sometime during the show, Keith Moon downs a mixture of horse tranquilizers and brandy. Evidently mumbling something to the effect of “I can take it, I am Keith “Effing“ Moon. It goes downhill from there. Here are the highlights: November 20, 1973. The Cow Palace in California. The Who are 70 minutes into a show on the Quadrophenia tour: The video begins with The Who hammering out “Wont Get Fooled Again“ At 0:09 Keith’s drums come to a weak stop in the middle of the song. At 1:10 Pete tells the crowd that Keith Moon has passed out At 2:40 Keith Moon manages to wake up and come back on stage. At 3:50 Moon passes out again and the roadies carry him off the drum set. This time he is not coming back. At 5:00 Pete tells the audience Keith is finished for the night. At 5:27 Pete asks the audience if there is anyone who can play the drums. At 6:30 THE DREAM COMES TRUE FOR SOME DUDE IN THE AUDIENCE NAMED SCOTT HALPIN.
