I love what Alice Cooper said. He said, "Maybe half of what you've heard about me, or Jim Morrison, or Ozzy Osbourne, is true. *Everything* you've heard about Keith Moon is true. And you haven't heard the half of it."

That face Keith makes when he asks if they’d like to listen to his story is adorable, mischievous, and absolutely one of a kind. RIP Keith Moon.

I love the Roger Daltrey quote about Keith Moon; "The Who were not about making music. The Who were about keeping Keith on his fucking drum kit."!

Keith Moon: Drummer, singer, showman, actor, raconteur, connoisseur of wine & spirits, demolitions expert, original Hollywood Vampire and all around renaissance guy.

Guys Keith moon needs a room. Let's give him one with a water bed. Kinda asked for it didn't they?

He was surprisingly well spoken and educated when you see and hear him away from all the madness.

No one was like Moonie; he was a 1-of-a-kind gem. Every art needs a Moonie to lighten up the world.

A man that could be wacky...sad...and brilliant in 2 hours time. We love and miss you Moony!!! Truly 1 of a kind.

Imagine Moon, Jim Morrison, John Belushi, and Sam Kinison all together for one big hotel-trashing party. Within the first hour the governor would be calling in the national guard.

Keith's looking actually fit and in decent health here.

Pete said, " Keith's drumming was faster than a machine gun." That's insane. I feel like he was the heart that kept the blood flowing. Peace.

I have been a Moon fan all of my life. I'm sure I would have found him annoying, obnoxious and many other things if I randomly met him, not knowing him, but reading about his life from start to way too early of a finish and watching and hearing the best rock and roll drumming ever...I adore him and think about him as a lost boy. Bipolar, ADHD and self medicated, he got caught up in the fame and fun and couldn't stop himself. He didn't know how to be anything other than the fun and wild Keith Moon and that became his sad path to assured self destruction. A sad clown with a happy face. Flamboyant and loud to cover his insecurities and sadness. One of a kind and so special that we still love, study and are entertained by him nearly forty years after he left us.....

There was a guy in my high school who was just like Keith Moon. You’re born that way.

This man's zaniness is exactly what the world needs right now.

Any hotel that would knowingly rent a room equipped with a waterbed to Keith Moon deserves what it gets.

Moon The Loon was a legend. Incredible drummer and complete madman. R.I.P. Keith.

What a legend..!!! And so well spoken too.. 💖 Keith Moon 🥁

Haven't seen the entire clip of this for years. What an unforgetable character. 😜 Rest in peace dear boy...wherever you are.

I wonder if Keith ever jumped out of a Hotel window prior to 1969, that would have been the First "MOON LANDING" 😀

Steve Martin and Keith moon are hysterically funny. I laughed out loud.

Keith recounting Rock'n'Roll excess like a thespian..., that's simply marvellous!

There is only one! they broke the mold when Keith passed. One of the Greats of all time in drumming Universe. A true ORIGINAL

One of those people who just made the world far more interesting to live in.

Omg I love this Keith Moon was so awesome best drummer ever ♥️

Keith just expressed such absolute JOY in being KEITH MOON. You can only keep that up for so long and Keith did! Thanks for the years you were here.

Thanks, I've never seen this full clip.

The man has always been my spirit animal! Kids today have no clue..If it's already been thought of, moonie, or someone from the 1st wave of rock superstars, have already done it.

Let's face it he was one hell of a great drummer and I was sad at his passing

This is the first Keith Moon interview I've ever watched. Didn't expect him to sound so middle class.

I'm just seeing a man have to play a part while depressed (from reading up on his life around this time).

Better than any SNL sketch in decades!

No one has balls to be a true rock star any more...long live rock...long live Keith Moon😎😎😎😎💗

He looked good and healthy in this interview. Amazing that a year later he aged like 20 years and die.

Oh yes! And he was a phenomenal drummer!

I guess this is the only filmed example of his art of smashing a room.

I have never seen this,thnx for sharing.

I was lucky and amazed to see Moonie on the sticks for a Who's Next tour

Disclaimer: No actual hotel rooms were harmed in the making of this video. 😜 Now that that's out of the way, I have to say, that was a brilliant bit of comedy.

Everytime I watch or listen to Keith Moon he always has me smiling away. On the drums he was just a beast the best drummer imo but also he was such a mad as hell individual the wild things he used to do in hotels putting explosives in his drum kit I mean he is is the epitome of Rock & Roll

Ol’ Moonie probably took every narcotic you could think of in excess for most of his adult life and managed to survive. He then dies of a prescription drug overdose meant to help him quit drinking. Can’t get any more ironic than than that. So sad

Back in '76, for my first ever concert, I went to the Super Bowl of Rock and experienced Keith Moon + The Who!! They also had their laser show, too...

The man was just insane. Genius drummer...but insane.

i was very lucky to see moonie live around 72

I'm reminded of every AA meeting I've ever been in. The old guard- I don't do drugs. I just drink. The deadliest drug of all time comes in a bottle. 🙁

Keith, You are sorely missed.

Keith Moon was a rare individual. One of those people that any story you here about him, ANY, it probably really did happen. RIP Keith Moon

Before I knew it was Keith Moon I thought it was simply a parity about him. While Steve Martin is talking I thought to myself, that guy is tearing this room up like he’s done this before. Truly poetic physical distraction on display!

Forever, one of a kind and greatest drummer in rock ‘n roll history. I’d say RIP, but I doubt that he is.

Keith John Moon was a sheer force of nature.

Thanks to insurance for the gravy train, we will never see this kind of superior appearances again by actual legends in entertainment. This skit is priceless. I wish I could have been there.

Steve Martin, playing his part so well. Utter calm, as the hurricane, that is Keith Moon, swirls around him. Can't rehearse this, other than a little blocking, and cues. You get one take.

Damn, what a character! He was so excited to Share that hotel story, just to hit The punchline.”Well I destroyed 3 rooms in one fell swoop!”

I miss Keith Moon!!!

Moon Was A Loon, And The Greatest Drummer Of All Time! RIP

HE WAS BLOODY TERRIFIC!!! I LOVED HIM ;-)

My six degrees (or less) of separation to Keith Moon, from this interview: Melissa Manchester, wrote a song with my friend James L. Collins - THERE!

He's crazy with great talent

Unbelievable drummer. Just watch and try to learn. Can’t be duplicated

That was so funny (with great touches of sadness)... I'm pleased to say I seen Keith live with the Who in the summer of '76 at Parkhead in Glasgow. quite incredible even all these decades later...

He looked so young here. He looked 20 years older the following year just before he died.

“Sorry about that.” After throwing an air conditioning unit out the window. 🤣

I always thought Keith and Dudley Moore would have been an unstoppable combination !!! I've never heard any stories of them together though.

Keith Moon and Steve Martin, what a trip. Thems were the dayz.

There was poetry in that destruction!!!

Greatest rock drummer ever....period

His laugh and the face he pulls is infectious and sinister 🤣🤣🤣

wow, that's Phoebe Snow, and two years after this, I personally flooded her hotel room!!! Never knew they had this interview!!

Keith Moon, The Master of Disaster !

Over the past few years I have stayed in a great number of hotels, I can quite understand what drives people to want to wreck them.

Keith was just as energetic beating those drums as he was beating those hotel rooms...LMAO!

I like how Melissa Manchester was slightly afraid of Keith…and rightfully so. There was no telling what he might do next!

It just goes to show you that Keith being himself was far funnier than any top comedian of his day.

Frickin brilliant, 2 wild and crazy guys with one actually parodying himself. Keith really was the master. O and by the way he also played drums... for the greatest rock n roll band. The Master Race Blues Band.

Strange watching this now... I can clearly remember the day(s) that he died. I had just left school and was working in a lumber yard... there was a long haired hippy type guy (looked a bit like Mick Fleetwood) who we used to call 'Brian the Lion.' He was inconsolable... 'Who Are You' had just been released... and they were playing it non-stop on the radio... 'He said, you can go sleep at home tonight ... If you can get up and walk away.' I think that within a week, Brian the Lion himself was dead... drug overdose or something... that is now 41 years ago... frightening...

This is hilarious! Thank you, Keith & Steve 🤣

I love Keith Moon. :) ♡♡♡

Keith is a machine in this skit I was exhausted just watching him

the best drummer of all times

I love this man❤

Hard to think he died only the year after. He actually looks quite well there.

during this segment, he was exhibiting the indurance of a Who set...Hours of spastic drumming.

This guy is such a legend!! Looks like he's been doing some blow before this show lol.. classic moon

Moon the Loon destroying hotel rooms and throwing television sets off the window is one of the most epic rock star signatures. Another practical joke I always enjoy is how Tony Iommi used to set Bill Ward on fire.

This show looks like a Lorne Michaels production.

Moon is a legend, but without a doubt he is the Jack Torrance of Drummers.

When they fell into the bubbles was anyone thinking Steve Martin was about to say "Live From New York, It's Saturday Night !!"

Great to see things in full, which were clips on The Kids Are Alright 👍🎸

Keith gave it his all, and Steve Martin did a great job too.

Fucking Legend full stop.

I was fortunate to see the original who twice - great drummer - mate of Oliver Reed imagine those two together in a bar !!

Alcohol leaves destruction in it's path, I grew up with my dad as an alcoholic, but he worked hard and provided for us, so back then you never heard the word alcoholism, or detox, it was just part of male life, every event or even just going to nanna and gramps, as soon as my dad sat down my gramps would pour a shot and a beer, I remember the word, hiball, it was what a man does, but violence tended to be there always, my dad was a great guy, but at home it was scary, he's gone now but I will always love him even though we went through hell, directly because of alcohol.

I recently dove deep into the Who for the very first time. This dude could hit the skins like nobody's business.

Keith dear boy you're a natural

Dead or alive; Keith Moon is the greatest "ROCK" drummer of all time!

how great waa tv back then to see the great kieth moon and steve martin together destroying hotel room as kieth really did!!! fucknin awesome!!! there will never be days like those anymore......

Dear boy you're so very missed. I'll see you when the time is right.

From what I gather Keith was a true philanthropist at heart. I think if he survived and got clean before his last year alive, he would have been a great advocate for sobriety, and he's probably have a hospital wing or two named after him. Can you imagine the Keith Moon Rehabilitation Center? What these rock stars needed to do (and still do) is invest some of that wealth back into rehab and therapy for themselves and others, which I'm sure is already going on.

Pete's famous quote about Pete: "Our job is to keep him off the booze and on the drums."

Outstanding in a field of one.

I don't remember seeing this on SNL...Classic Keith..Thanks.
