    1970 at The Metropolitan Opera House, New York City

    Does anyone remember the outstanding show the Who did at the Met in 1970?
    The first and last rock band to ever play the met!
    I don't know how Bill convinced those high society snobs to allow it...but then, it only seemed natural that a "rock opera" should be performed in an opera house!
    The Met's biggest mistake was not to let Bill use his own security.They had no clue what they were in for.
      
    Saying: "We Destroyed The Place" is an understatement.
    And, when The Who finished with their signature "My Generation" with Keith totally wrecking his drum set and Pete practically putting a hole in the stage, striking it again and again with his guitar.. you can just imagine the absolute chaos and euphoria that ensued.


    It has to be one of Rock Histories most entertaining and bizarre shows ever!
