The Who # 1

Pete Townshend - John Entwistle - Keith Moon - The Who #1 'Quadrophenia' Tour November 22, 1973 The Forum, Inglewood, CA 35mm Film Archival Pigment Print on Paper  Small or Large available below BEHIND THE SHOT This was maybe the third concert that I ever photographed and my first time to see The Who.  I had heard what it was like to be in the front at The Who concerts, but I wasn't really prepared for actually going through the experience!?! It was a CRAZY rough crowd to battle through, and I was very-much still developing my skills, but the show was incredible, with Pete smashing his guitar to bits right in front of me (after I'd run out of film...) There were certainly times where I had to hold off on photos because I didn't want to get trampled or smashed.  When I finally got up close in front of the first row, I had to keep my elbows down below my armpits or I would not have been able to get them back down again, and using my elbows was essential to help me keep just enough space
