On September 4, 1965 the Who encountered one of the most bizarre circumstances in their career.
It began with a van with faulty locks as Kit Lambert explained.
“Fed up with driving everyone in my Volkswagen I’d got the band a van. It wasn’t very well painted and on sunny days you could see the lettering: ‘Billiard Tables Installed on Your Own Premises,’ under the words ‘the Who.’ But we never seemed to be able to get effective locks to lock the stuff up, and it kept getting pinched.”
