November 20th was never a good day for The Who drummer, Keith Moon. On this day in 1974, Keith Moon collapsed during a concert after his drink was spiked with horse tranquilliser. 19 year-old Scott Halpin, who was in the audience, volunteered to replace him on drums for the remaining three numbers. One year later, on this day in 1975, The Who kicked off a month-long North American tour at The Summit in Houston. At a party afterwards drummer Keith Moon was arrested for disorderly conduct and spent the night in jail.
