The Who on the back of a vintage Paris bus with Eli the baby elephant, outside the BBC's Lime Grove Studios in London on October 9, 1968. Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle crowd the platform under the COMPLET (full) sign, with two models perched on the rails and "The Who" banners on the back. The stunt promoted "Magic Bus," which had come out in the US in July and was released in Britain on October 11. With the animals left behind, the bus toured London while the band and models threw streamers at passers-by, though they were banned from driving past Buckingham Palace. Later that day the band played the song on the BBC show How It Is. Pete wrote "Magic Bus" back in 1965, but it was not recorded until 1968. Keith left us in 1978 and John in 2002. Moments like this one show the fun they brought to the band. 🎸 "Magic Bus" only reached No. 26 in the UK and No. 25 in the US, yet it became a concert staple. Did you ever hear The Who play it live? 🎸
