I wish! I'm 31, location - Serbia. That Binky fella caught it (hence the quote marks in the thread title). Funny, you can hear it in that Youtube link for the audio of that famous '70 gig, towards the end, "Binky got the guitar!" Haw haw!

I know, it's an amazing story, and years later he meets Entwhistle and Townshend, and they recognize him and joke about the guitar!

I wonder how many people over the years have heard that boot and thought, "Binky? who the f-uck is Binky?".

Binky used to work at St. Marks Sounds in NYC years ago, when vinyl was still king. Genuinely nice guy.

Not as cool as the guy who got to go up onstage and PLAY THE DRUMS after Moon passed out.

Yeah... Scott Halpin... he died few years ago... thank God and Bill Graham that concert was filmed.

Without a doubt, he had the greatest "You'll never believe what happened to me last night" story in rock history. And, as you say, he had proof.

awesome .

Amazing story, not to mention they recognized him after all those years.

And his former gf is the mother of Courtney Love!

Great story. Thanks.

Good thing he's just the ex-boyfriend, he dodged a bullet there. Yikes.

Bumping my old thread... another good Who story from Binky's blog, nice to finally have some more description of the infamous Fillmore '69 incident:
