Rare archive photos of The Who performing at the Odeon cinema in Watford in April 1966.
Staff at a Watford cinema had their work cut out trying to prevent excited music fans from literally getting their hands on one of the world’s most famous bands when they returned to perform in the town during the 1960s.
Our photographer’s diary lists the band’s performance as part of the ‘Odeon Beat Show’ and website The Who Concert Guide, at thewholive.net, states it was an afternoon show as part of a package tour with The Spencer Davis Group, The Merseys and other acts.It reports The Who closed the show with a “very short but explosive set” consisting of the songs Man with Money and My Generation.
