Max Ker-Seymer talks about:

  • Accidentally stumbling across The Detours supporting The Rolling Stones in Putney in 1963
  • Being a first-generation Mod – and why present-day perception of the movement may be wrong
  • Seeing The Who at the Marquee and the Goldhawk Club in 1965
  • Why their mid-sixties harmonies and choice of cover songs set them apart from their peers
  • Moving from London to America in 1975, and the subsequent struggle to follow the band live
  • How Pete Townshend has improved as a guitarist over the years
  • Appearing as an extra in Michelangelo Antonioni’s film Blow Up – and watching Jeff Beck struggle to replicate Townshend’s guitar destruction
  • And The Who exceeding his expectations on their North American farewell tour
