LISTEN TO BOOMTOWN RADIO! “ALL the Music That Matters for the Generation That Created Rock 'n' Roll”

This Day in Rock History - Mar. 22nd

1967: The Who perform live for the first time in America. The boys play threes shows in one day at the Paramount Theater in New York City.

The band was not headlining the venue. They were only the opening act for Herman’s Hermits.

Many of the young girls there to see Peter Noone’s group were understandably a little startled by the Who’s much more flamboyant stage act (including the destruction of their instruments at the close of the show).
