Charlton 1976 – The Who's loudest gig of all time

Rain. Crowd violence. Counterfeit tickets. Overcrowding. People climbing up floodlights. Lasers. Keith Moon’s last gig to a paying audience in England. The final entry in The Guinness Book of Records for loudest concert ever recorded. This is Charlton 1976, fifty years on. Host Paul Bearman talks to his parents – the people he inherited his Who fandom from – as well as Tony Fletcher (author of Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon), Buddy Ascott (drummer of seminal Mod band The Chords) and Richard Evans (The Who’s artist and designer) about their memories of attending one of the most unique concerts in The Who’s history.Interviews recorded March and April 2026 Music by The Garage (Please note that there are some minor sound issues during the first minute of our conversation with Tony Fletcher, which are quickly resolved)Visit our website for bonus episodes and exclusive contentSupport us with a one-off or monthly donationFacebookInstagramYouTubeHelp us reach 1,000 YouTube subscribers and win a copy of the Who Are You Super Deluxe Edition box setRELATED LINKS Charlton 1976 audio bootleg YouTubeKeith Moon and Norman Gunston at Charlton ‘76 Hosted on Acast.
