Charlton Athletic F.C., South London, 18 May 1974
Another one day festival hosted by the Who and the first of two epic gigs at this football stadium.(Note the discrepancy between the featured acts on the poster and the final lineup.) Despite the changes this was a very good lineup of acts that complemented The Who perfectly, although many punters think that Humble Pie bettered the the Who with their epic performance.
Some media outlets insist that it rained very early on and the waiting 50,000 got a slight wetting , but again most people don't recollect rain at all. Photos show sunny weather . The huge crowd were rewarded with a good show by The Who which was recorded and filmed bythe BBC , portions of which are now available on the "30 Years of Maximum R&B" DVD.

However happy the fans were with the show, Townshend was not pleased. There was a lot of drunken rowdiness in sections of the audience and this was picked up by Pete who said " Charlton was very disappointing ,because when we went out the first thing I felt in the air was violence . It was like a feeling of something not quite right . I dunno what it was but I felt very uneasy for some time . The only way I could get myself together was by shutting out the audience and working with the group ". Keith Moon of course was never overawed by anything and he chose this occasion to debut his preposterously large kit , featuring no less than three rows of tom toms , making eleven in all.
18-5-74. The Who, Humble Pie, Lou Reed , Bad Company . Lindisfarne, Maggie Bell, Montrose
I remember this concert very well. I drove my Ford Anglia from Bristol to South London to see this amazing lineup of great artists. It was one of the best rock concerts of all time. I'd always been a fan of Steve Marriot so Humble Pie were high on my list of must see. I had originally seen the Small Faces in Bristol. Humble Pie, i thought they were absolutely brilliant that day with Stevie Marriot on the top of his form. [...] The stadium erupted when The Who came on stage a little late and were I think using a laser light show for the first time (unless that was '76?). All the bands were fantastic and apart from a bit of bottle throwing at the front, which was still going on about an hour after the gig finished, the atmosphere tempered with the weather made it a great day.
Townshend -" At Charlton I got completely pissed... I was so happy to get out of it. For Madison Square Garden we had to fight and snatch the time off from the film and consequently when we got there it wasn't really all that wonderful from our point of view... I felt really guilty I couldn't explode into the exuberant and happy energy our fans did. I screwed up every inch of energy doing it then would be brought down by a monitor whistling or something and I'd have to work myself up again..."
