as you can see, contray to what roger says in the video, keith made it most
ofthe way through the show. i believe roger is confusing this with boston
'76, where keith did pass out at the beginning of the show. that was also
the first show of a u.s. tour.
I'm pretty sure this was Nov. 20, not Nov. 17. Thanks for the info on
the '82 Toronto shows.
Now as to the author of "Wasp Man," I too thought it was a Keith
composition, so I went and got out "Two's Missing," a '87 compilation
that John put together. In the cover notes John does indeed say that it
was a Keith composition -- "it was his turn for the B-side money" :-) --
but on the record label it credits _only Entwistle_ as the writer. So
there is evidence for both views. Somewhere I recently read about John
and Keith collaborating on another song (can't remember what), so it
sounds like they may each have had a hand in "Wasp Man." However, John
certainly claims no part of it in the cover note, crediting only Keith.
Now another writer-question for the real historians and detectives among
you: why is the author of "I'm A Man" shown on the label of "Who's
Missing" (both vinyl and CD) as Lambert/Stamp, when we all know it's an
old blues song (actual author: Ellas McDaniel). What's the story
there??
