MEMORABILIA

Some Piccies

of

Memorabilia

associated with

The Who

but maybe not just The Who........

so here goes -

Some of you may recognize this t-shirt?

This shirt actually belonged to Richard Barnes,
he designed and printed it and then wore it to

The Who's Charlton Athletic gig of 18th May 1974

where Keith Moon saw it and instantly requested
it be removed and given to him to wear.
After the gig he took it off all sweaty and held it up
and shouted who wants this?
Most people turned their noses up
as it was dripping wet, except one person that is,
my friend John Davis who was backstage at
the time after becoming acquainted with the band
through his artwork and paintings.
This was as he explained it to me.

It actually looks in the photos like it has mid length
sleeves but it wasn't until I saw it in the flesh that
I realized they were long sleeves that Keith had pushed up.

"Barney Dear Boy gi' me ya' T-shirt"

The back

Now some close ups

Two of Keith's sticks both from 1969,
one being from a gig in Bournemouth and one from Bath.
One is slightly longer than the other,
both are marked "Ajax" and "Jack Parnell"
in blue metallic printing.
The weight of the sticks is light they
appear to be about a 7a in todays size rating.

Pete's dungarees made by the Faithful brand
(Company still exists making industrial clothing)
from around 1970,
he wore these on the appearance of Top of the Pops
in the photo above and are similar
to another pair but unlike these the other pair
had white plastic buttons (see the photo below),
these have metal buttons with rings
so they can be removed,
also they're missing the clasps that
hold the straps at the front.

These are NOT the dungarees, these are the pair with white plastic buttons sewn on.

A pendant that once belonged to Roger Daltrey,
the only thing that I
know about this, is the similarity

of the chain, (twisted copper wire
with brass hoops between)
to one that belonged to

Jimi Hendrix.

Not sure if it's Native American
or maybe Mexican,
almost certainly this is from
the States,
picked up by Roger
in the late 60's.....any ideas?

Just found this photo on the internet of Jimi wearing the same pendant as above but minus the chain....does this mean the chain I have from Roger is Jimi's? I doubt it very much but do believe they where made by the same person, I just think that maybe Mr Hendrix broke his chain and replaced it with another, all the same I would love to know more about where his pendant came from and who made it etc and then try to tie this up with any information I can receive from Roger Daltrey.

Lastly at the moment for any rate,
a collar from one of Rogers
several tasseled suede jackets,
this is also from 1969/70 period.

It can be seen still attached in
photos of The Who
on the roof of a building
in Denmark street in London
and also on another appearance
of Top of the Pops 10th April 1969 I believe &
This Is Tom Jones 16th April 1969.

I don't see any photo's of Roger's other
tasseled jackets with big collars on.
All seem to be much smaller,
big collars where possibly uncomfortable.

This I believe is the Jacket
(with collar still attached)
if anyone has a story as to
how or why they parted company
