Page updated November 1, 2025. This is a highly abridged version of all the things that happened to and around The Who in November. Click for access to the full history.
November 1962
New music releases: Girls! Girls! Girls! - Elvis Presley; "Rhythm of the Rain" - The Cascades; "Wild Weekend" - The Rockin' Rebels; "I Wanna Be Around" - Tony Bennett
On the 23rd, The Detours start a residency at the Grand Ballroom in Kent. They play there at least once a month until the early summer of 1963. The 30th sees another performance. Admission four shillings.
November 1963
New music releases: "Sleigh Ride" - The Ronettes; "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" - Darlene Love; "I Want to Hold Your Hand" - The Beatles; "Winter Wonderland" - Darlene Love
On the 30th is The Detours' first performance at the Railway Hotel in Greenford, in a club that is a Mod hangout run by Pete's friend and fellow art school student Richard Barnes.
November 1964
New music releases: "Blue Christmas"/"Santa Claus is Back in Town" - Elvis Presley; "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" - The Righteous Brothers; "Downtown" - Petula Clark; "I Feel Fine" - The Beatles
Having failed to sell The Who to a record label, managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp turn to The Kinks' producer Shel Talmy, having Pete Townshend write a song in the Kinks' style to present as a demo. This song, "I Can't Explain," is chosen by Talmy over Pete's other demo submission, "Call Me Lightning," for The Who's first single which Talmy records as an independent producer, then sells to Decca Records in the U.S. Around the second week of November, The Who go into the studio (The Who remember IBC Studios, Talmy clearly remembers Pye) and record "I Can't Explain". For the flip side, Talmy has the band record the African-American chain gang classic "Bald-Headed Woman" that Talmy is claiming as "author" due to the use of his arrangement (The Kinks had also been forced to record the song on their first album). Session guitarist Jimmy Page is present but does not play on the A-side, only the B because, according to John, Jimmy would not let Pete borrow his pedal to play some needed fuzz guitar. Another group, The Ivy League, are brought in to add backup vocals.
November 1965
New music releases: A Man and His Music - Frank Sinatra; "Don't Mess With Bill" - The Marvelettes; The Best of Herman's Hermits - Herman's Hermits; The 4 Seasons' Gold Vault of Hits - The 4 Seasons
On the 19th, The Who play the Glad Rag Ball at the Empire Pool in Wembley before 10,000 people, their biggest audience to date, but the demands of the gig cannot stop backstage Who tempers from boiling over on stage. Roger Daltrey complains about the inadequate sound system and storms off halfway through the set. The rest of the band carries on until The Who's sound system is installed at which time Roger agrees to return. Some of the other acts are shouted down or pelted with pennies in what is agreed to be a disastrous concert.
November 1966
New music releases: "I'm A Believer" - The Monkees; Greatest Hits - The Temptations; "That's Life" - Frank Sinatra; "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron" - The Royal Guardsmen
On the 8th, The Who go into CBS Studios in London and record at least two takes of the backing track for their next single "Happy Jack". John Entwistle and Keith Moon then go to Regent Sound and record John's new composition, "I've Been Away," during a half-hour session while Roger and Pete are off at a pub. On the 10th, Roger records his vocals for "Happy Jack". It is at this time that Keith Moon is forced to lie on the floor of the studio so he won't add his off-key vocalising to the backing track. Keith impishly pops up just as the song concludes, causing Pete to proclaim "I saw ya!" that remains on the release version.
November 1967
New music releases: Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles; Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd. - The Monkees; "Nights in White Satin" - The Moody Blues; Disraeli Gears - Cream
On the 18th, "I Can See For Miles" reaches its chart peak in the U.K. at a disappointing #10. Pete, who thought the single an easy #1, is devastated and begins to feel he has lost the ability to write hit singles. Pete later said "I spat on the British record buyer".
November 1968
New music releases: The Beatles [a/k/a The White Album] - The Beatles; "Build Me Up Buttercup" - The Foundations; "Everday People" - Sly & The Family Stone; "Son of a Preacher Man" - Dusty Springfield
Pete plays an early version of Tommy to The Guardian's Nik Cohn who considers the story of a deaf, dumb and blind kid who becomes a messiah "po-faced". Knowing Nik is a fan of the arcade game of pinball, Pete replies, "did I mention he's also a pinball champ?" Pete runs back home, writes a new song, "Pinball Wizard," and peppers the opera with references to pinball. The other event comes from the lengthy group discussions on how to end the opera. Keith chimes in wanting it to end at a holiday camp and offering to write a song for it. Pete is enthused by the idea but not of Keith writing a song for the piece, so he pens "Tommy's Holiday Camp" and credits it to Keith.
November 1969
New music releases: Let It Bleed - The Rolling Stones; "Gimme Shelter" - The Rolling Stones; Willy and The Poor Boys - Creedence Clearwater Revival; "Whole Lotta Love" - Led Zeppelin
On the 8th, Melody Maker announces that The Who will be performing their rock opera at London's Coliseum. Pete later reports that The Who tried to get Covent Garden but were refused. The refusal is particularly galling for Who manager Kit Lambert who had planned on The Who performing their rock opera Tommy there as an act of revenge for his father, composer-conductor Constant Lambert, who was blackballed by the famed opera house.
November 1970
New music releases: All Things Must Pass - George Harrison; Greatest Hits - Sly & The Family Stone; "My Sweet Lord" - George Harrison; Tea for the Tillerman - Cat Stevens
On the 3rd, The Who are photographed by David Montgomery at his Edith Grove, Chelsea studio. The photos are extensively employed as publicity and are later used for the U.S. cover of Who's Better Who's Best and the U.K. cover of The Definitive Collection.
November 1971
New music releases: Led Zeppelin IV - Led Zeppelin; Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Vol. II - Bob Dylan; "Let's Stay Together" - Al Green; Madman Across the Water - Elton John
Around this time Peter Rudge takes over the Who's management for their U.S. tours and other projects from their increasingly remote managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp.
Record producer Lou Reizner approaches Pete with the idea of releasing a fully orchestrated version of Tommy. Pete gives his blessing, forgetting that his manager Kit Lambert had dearly wanted to orchestrate the opera. Kit is deeply hurt when he finds out which drives another wedge between Pete and Kit.
November 1972
New music releases: They Only Come Out At Night - The Edgar Winter Group; Burning Love and Hits from his Movies, Volume 2 - Elvis Presley; Europe '72 - The Grateful Dead; No Secrets - Carly Simon
On the 20th, the all-star recording of Tommy by the London Symphony orchestra is released worldwide. Pete sings the Narrator, Roger sings Tommy and John sings Cousin Kevin. The elaborately packaged double album goes Gold on shipment to the U.S. and ultimately reaches #5 in the Billboard charts. In fact, to many record stores in the U.S., the orchestral Tommy becomes their primary draw during the 1972 Christmas sales season. The LP is also released in quadraphonic sound, the only non-bootleg Who-related album to be released in that format. In Australia, the album reaches #2 but in The Who's home territory, the album does not make it to the charts. Roy Carr gives it a rave review in New Musical Express and Audio calls it better than the original album. Disagreeing is Lester Bangs in Rolling Stone who dismisses it as "only product, and Christmas product at that" and Ed Ward in Creem whose opprobrium extends to all rock operas and concept albums. The success of the album will lead Reizner and Robert Stigwood to revive the idea of making a movie of Tommy.
November 1973
New music releases: "Piano Man" - Billy Joel; John Denver's Greatest Hits - John Denver; The Singles 1969-1973 - The Carpenters; Piano Man - Billy Joel
On the 20th, what Rolling Stone will later dub "The Spooky Tour" begins at the Cow Palace in San Francisco with Lynyrd Skynyrd as the opening act on the tour. Beginning with this show "The Rock" is dropped from the already truncated Quadrophenia set list. They are lucky to get that much done as, before the show, Keith takes PCP and, after playing groggily throughout the concert, passes out, is revived after a half-hour break, returns and passes out for good during "See Me Feel Me". Pete calls out for a drummer to replace Keith and 19-year old Scott Halpin is chosen from the audience to take his place. The Who plus Halpin play "Smokestack Lightning," "Spoonful" and "Naked Eye" before calling it a night. The show is simulcast on radio stations KSAN, KOME and KZAP and unofficially videotaped in black and white by promoter Bill Graham.
November 1974
New music releases: Greatest Hits - Elton John; Heart Like A Wheel - Linda Ronstadt; Sheer Heart Attack - Queen; "Free Bird" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
On the 23rd, a single from Odds and Sods, "Postcard" backed with "Put The Money Down," hits the U.S. charts, ultimately peaking at #64 in Cash Box. It is the first Who single in the U.S. with an Entwistle A-side. France also releases "Postcard" with "I'm The Face" on the B. John does not get the A-side in Japan, however, where "Long Live Rock" replaces "Postcard".
November 1975
New music releases: Greatest Hits - ABBA; Chicago IX: Chicago's Greatest Hits - Chicago; A Night At The Opera - Queen; History: America's Greatest Hits - America
On the 20th, The Who begin their 1975 North American tour in Houston at The Summit. Although the band is mostly itching to hit the road again and they have a new album to promote, the tour does have some elements of a moneymaking project due to the fact that the band's standing lawsuit with their former managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp has frozen all the proceeds from their songs and albums prior to The Who By Numbers. The freeze will remain in effect until early 1977.
November 1976
New music releases: Greatest Hits - James Taylor; "Somebody to Love" - Queen; "Carry On Wayward Son" - Kansas; A Star Is Born - Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson
On the 1st, recording begins on the Pete Townshend/Ronnie Lane joint album, then titled "April Fools," at Olympic Studios. The first block of sessions runs through the 15th. Also during this month, sessions for Roger's third solo album One Of The Boys begin at Ramport Studios. The sessions last intermittently until March.
November 1977
New music releases: Saturday Night Fever - The Bee Gees and Various Artists; Foot Loose & Fancy Free - Rod Stewart; Slowhand - Eric Clapton; "Just the Way You Are" - Billy Joel
On the 21st, Keith takes Melody Maker journalist Chris Welch on a "punk rock pub crawl." Accompanying them is Keith Altham, Bill Curbishley, Richard Dorse, and Billy Idol and Tony James of Generation X. They drive the short distance from the Marquee to the Vortex Club in Keith's pink Rolls Royce. Spying the queue of punks waiting to get in, Keith berates them. "Call yourselves anarchists? I've never queued in my life! I'll show you how to walk into a club!" He promptly marches in past the bouncers to the punks' cheers.
November 1978
New music releases: Greatest Hits 1974-1978 - The Steve Miller Band; "September" - Earth, Wind & Fire; Barbra Streisand's Greatest Hits Volume 2 - Barbra Streisand; The Best of Earth, Wind & Fire - Vol. 1 - Earth, Wind & Fire
During this month, John travels to Los Angeles to negotiate with MCA for The Who's recordings of Quadrophenia to use on the Polydor soundtrack to the film.

On the 4th, The Who and producer Bill Szymczyk are back at work on the long-delayed Face Dances album as the soon-to-be hit single "You Better You Bet" is recorded at Odyssey Studios. Szymczyk had been unable to record The Who over the last several months due to injuries he sustained in a car accident followed by a commitment to produce The Eagles' live album.

November 1983
New music releases: "Thriller" - Michael Jackson; Under a Blood Red Sky - U2; 20 Greatest Hits - Kenny Rogers; 90125 - Yes
On the 5th, Billboard interviews Dave Marsh about his Who biography Before I Get Old. "There is no question in my mind that it ended when Keith (Moon) died. And if there were any doubts, they were totally dispelled by the Shea Stadium concert, where they were just going through the motions. The last couple of records were the product of a different band. They really were. And the story lost its shape after that. I thought the only things that mattered after Moonie's death were Cincinnati and the so-called farewell tour and the so-called sponsorship." He also says The Who certainly bear a measure of responsibility for the Cincinnati tragedy.
November 1984
New music releases: Like A Virgin - Madonna; Make It Big - Wham!; Reckless - Bryan Adams; Alf - Alison Moyet

November 1985
New music releases: Promise - Sade; The Broadway Album - Barbra Streisand; "How Will I Know" - Whitney Houston; "Merry Christmas Everybody" - Shakin' Stevens
On the 29th, Pete releases his first post-Who breakup solo album, White City - A Novel. It receives positive reviews from Variety, Michael Tearson in Audio, Bill Milkowski in Down Beat and Rob Tannenbaum in Rolling Stone, both of the latter calling it Pete's best work since Empty Glass. Unfavorable reviews, however, tend to be very negative with slams by Billy Altman in Spin ("pretentiously boring"), Will Smith in Melody Maker ("a pitiful specimen") and Craig Zeller in Creem who says Pete should give up as far as rock 'n roll is concerned. The album peaks at #70 in the U.K. but reaches #26 in the U.S.
November 1987
New music releases: "Fairytale of New York" - The Pogues featuring Kirsty MacColl; Whenever You Need Somebody - Rick Astley; "Everywhere" - Fleetwood Mac; All The Best! - Paul McCartney

The 7th sees their first performance of the tour at The Chance in Poughkeepsie. On the 8th, they are part of the K-Rock Rock and Roll Up Your Sleeve Blood Drive at The Bottom Line in New York.

On the 9th, Westwood One holds a live album party to celebrate the coming U.S. release of Who's Better Who's Best. Pete and John in London and Roger in Budapest field questions from listeners.

At the beginning of the month, a press release is issued about details included in the newly-published book of interviews Rock Lives by Timothy White. One of those details contains some out-of-context remarks Pete made about the song "Rough Boys" that seem to imply that he is gay. The press grabs this misperception and runs with it, with headlines such as "My Gay Secret," "Out of The Closet," and "I Am Woman". Pete refuses to contradict the reports. Recalling the "scandal" three years later he says, "I don't want to let it be known that it is in any sense an important part of my self-image to be thought of as a breeder. I don't want to deny bisexuality as if I were being accused of child molestation or murder, as if it were some crime or something to be ashamed of, because that would be cruel to people who are gay". He finally officially denies being gay in 1999.
