The Who also got dosed on acid (someone put it in their drinks without telling them).
Pete Townsend has said it was the worst show they ever had to play.
And it was the Monterey Pop Festival (1967) that put them on the map in America.
But is was the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 that made them legends.
Yeah Monterey was the show. Wasn’t that also the really big one for Hendrix?
The Kinks had been banned from the USA because they did not put up with the sh*t from the stage hand union thugs in the USA. The Who had been a smaller group and the Kinks getting banned really was a big opening for The Who.
The Kinks ended up doing more English albums which were actually among their best work. The ban actually helped their work in my opinion.
