The Who Famous Explosion Live on TV

My Generation performance from 1967 when The Who had one of the best live TV moments in rock music history. Unbeknownst to all others, Pete Townshend packed ten high-powered cherry bombs in Keith Moon's drum kit. Townshend smashed guitars while destroying instruments on stage in the Smothers Brothers Hollywood studio taping location, his usual antics during concerts. John Entwistle kept his cool while playing the bass guitar. White smoke surrounded Roger Daltrey when the drums blew up at the end of My Generation.

The Who made their first US prime-time television appearance during the Smothers Brothers September 1967 fall season, filmed at CBS Television City, Los Angeles, CA. The Who did not appear again on US national television for nearly five decades; until the iconic rock group was a guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2016.

Keith Moon arrived as "British Patent Exploding Drummer", a legend The Who drummer had painted on his kit for the group's summer 1967 tour of North America, which climaxed when he notoriously blew up his drums with "cherry bomb" fireworks on popular Smothers Bros Comedy Hour TV show.
