that's about as good as it gets, because NO ONE wants to hear a drum solo.
except another drummer.
Or a bass solo. Gah! Those are the worst! Especially in Am.

How dare you?

Actually, on the bootlegs in the old days, there were some very nice solos and I have to admit that ... the best ones I ever heard, were actually the same person, and his nickname was "Bonzo" ... but you'll have to go dig up some bootlegs ... specially one called "Live on Blueberry Hill". and if you can find "Bonzo's Birthday Party" ... it's also not too bad ... but the first one is the best of them all and never duplicated on a stage by anyone, recorded or not!
 
But credit where credit is due ... no one could bust up the drums better than Keith ... with one exception ... Roger Ruskin Spear did it better on the album with that falsetto version of "Pinball Wizard" ... but that is way too Bapu'esque to be believed! ... JB will vouch for this one!
 
Since then, they created these computer programs, and no one has figured out how to create a drum solo without a beat, so that it will sound interesting instead of some more of that boring ****!

We also did My Generation as our 9 song set closer ... I am approaching 50 (47.5 to be exact) and I literally had to "train" and get into shape to play the song.  I spent some time several days a week for the last 4 weeks bashing the drums like a teenager.

Here is the end of the song with my feable attempt at Keith Moon.

I don't think of Moonie as a soloist like Peart, Bozzio Rich, Krupa, etc. ... but more of a brilliant drum arranger in the context of the song.  I don't think I could name my favorite who song, that changes from day to day but, the one tune that IMHO is quintessential Moon ... The Real Me from Quadraphenia.  It's the drum solo as song structure.
