September 17, 1967 THE WHO made their first American network TV appearance on The Smothers Brothers Show. The first song they played , My Generation made them out to be nice clean cut boys who could really play and sing... Then they played My Generation.... Lol! you can only imagine how surprised everyone in audiences all over were when they saw the explosive way the boys ended their number. Keith Moon had a small explosive device in his drum kit. It was known then as a flash pot. What no one knew was that Keith had packed it with WAY more powder than normal. Pete Townsend was just a little too close to Keiths kit when the flash pot ignited. His hair was burned, and he said his hearing was never quite the same. Here is that performance. Enjoy!
