The Who at Woodstock looks tired to me. They're usually such a happy bunch,
but here the smiles are gone and they look serious as hell. I've got one
still shot of Roger where he looks absolutely exhausted.
I agree that you can generally tell when they're not straight. Roger at
Monterey looks pretty stoned; Pete at Tanglewood is definitely three sheets
to the wind, and there are a few shots of John where he's got to be blind
drunk. I had just thought most of their problems at Woodstock happened
before the show.
