Keith Moon was so full of life at the time, playing so hard that they had to tape his headphones to his head so they would fall off, and then doing a spot-on impression of Roger Daltrey in the recording booth. This was also one of the times that Pete Townshend reminded Moon that he was not welcome to sing.

The only time Moon sang with the band was on the Quadrophenia song Bell Boy".
