"The worst gig we ever played."
—Roger Daltrey

The Who were scheduled as the second to last act (before Jefferson Airplane) to play on Saturday, August 16th. When they actually started playing it was already Sunday morning around 5:00 am. They played their exceptional "Tommy" album, a Rock Opera dealing with the struggle of a deaf, dumb and blind boy who later finds a cure and gains stardom with his messianic movement. The finale of this performance took place during sunrise which occurred at 6:05 am.

Personnel:

John Entwistle - bass, vocals
Roger Daltrey - vocals
Keith Moon - drums
Pete Townshend - guitar, vocals

The Abbie Hoffman Incident was an incident that happened during The Who's set right after the song "Pinball Wizard." Abbie Hoffman was able to get on stage and grab a microphone while Pete Townshend tuned his guitar. He said: "I think this is a pile of shit! While John Sinclair rots in prison..." Hoffman was protesting against the imprisonment of John Sinclair (leader of the White Panther Party and manager of the left-wing hard-rock band MC5) who had been convicted and sentenced to nine years of prison because of marijuana possession. Townshend, angry that someone took the stage, yelled: "Fuck off! Fuck off my fucking stage!" allegedly hit him with his guitar, sending him off stage again. Townshend then added: "I can dig it!"; And after the song "Do You Think It's Alright?": "The next fuckin' person that walks across this stage is gonna get fuckin' killed! Alright? [crowd cheers] You can laugh, but I mean it!" No one ran on stage for the remainder of the performance.
