Moonlit Kickoff Signals The Who's Final Tour With Keith Moon

On Aug. 3, 1975, The Who opened a late-summer U.S. tour at the Capitol Center in Landover, Maryland, without a new album, delivering a high-energy show powered by Keith Moon; Townshend wrestled with aging while Daltrey pushed back against public tensions as the band leaned on Tommy and their classic hits, with Moon's ferocious energy and Entwistle's steady bass driving the night—an event many saw as the start of The Who's final tour with Moon, who would die two years later.
