I didn't realize till much long after I became a fan was that there was never a drum riser when The Who played with Keith.
Dan EpsteinHOST
The first time I saw The Who was with Kenny Jones in The Drum Throne, and there was a drum riser.

Dan EpsteinHOST
Like, you can just key in with each other and communicate telepathically in a way that you can't really do when the drummer's up on a riser.
Jack RabidHOST
Excellent, very short version there by Small Faces.
Jack RabidHOST
These days, like the Moody Blues, there's only one Small Face left as well, and that would be obviously the drummer, Kenny Jones.
Jack RabidHOST
And I should note, that is the original Small Faces there.
