This week marks the 30th anniversary of a by now legendary Loop show featuring The Who live at the old International Amphitheatre on December 8th, 1979. The band's first tour after the death of their incendiary drummer Keith Moon (who was the inspiration for the Muppets character "Animal") and only days after the Cincinnati tragedy, it was a pivotal moment for the godfathers of punk. Long bootlegged, a majority of this must-see show has finally been officially released on DVD as part of the special 3-disc "Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who" documentary exclusively available at Best Buy. This Tuesday (December 8th) at 7:30am, I will be playing a two-fer from the show to commemorate the occasion.

If Keith Moon and Animal had been lead singers instead of drummers, they would likely have been something like Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl. The guys in Jackyl "destroyed" Tailgaters in Bolingbrook this past Friday night. Literally.
