British rock royalty,
John, Keith, Pete and Roger, the West London and North West London elite,
The WHO and THE WHO live, a magical unforgettable experience,
Once savoured, your dancing with incredible, unstoppable energy from your seat.
Born in the height of the Sixties,
THE WHO, saw the dawn of a British cultural revolution,
They mesmerized everyone with their incredible sound,
Over the years, THE WHO became an indomitable British institution.
John, 'Thunderfingers,' Entwhistle, a maestro on the bass guitar,
Pete Townshend, brilliant guitarist and songwriter by far,
Keith Moon, legendary drummer extraordinaire, a virtuoso with every drumming beat,
Roger Daltry, an electric voice turning up the heat.
Scandals ensued,
Dramas played off backstage,
Drugs claimed the lives of Mr Moon and Mr Entwhistle,
THE WHO, still carried on even better with maturity and age.
What now for THE WHO?
Only time will tell,
Their Moving On tour in 2019 continues to entertain the masses,
All of us continue to be under THE WHO's seductive presence and spell.

- Comment from author about the poem: I had the good fortune to see The Who live at Wembley Stadium earlier on in the month as part of their current Moving On tour. They are one of my favourite bands. The Who will recommence their tour later on in the US in the Autumn. The Who - this is my tribute to you.

Yes I was there when they first appeared, great group.
Hello Goldfinch,
I like some of their early songs.
I'd say I'm a big fan of their Seventies material onwards and there is the excellent Tommy.

This is a great tribute to a great band... I saw them three times.. the first time with Mr. Keith Moon.. the second time at Wembley in the late 1970' minus Mr. Moon and the last time to date in Manchester...
Hello Neville,
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the poem.
Wow, I wish I had seen The WHO live when the great Keith Moon was alive. The best drummer of all time.

But lets not forget Ginger Baker & John Bonham et al 🙂
