English rock group The Who photographed at Shepperton Studios, England for The Daily Mirror on October 8, 1975.
Behind the Lens: Terry O'Neill's Story:
“I started photographing The Who in the Sixties, when they
were called The Detours. I remember photographing
Roger Daltrey t his home outside London in the late 1960s. It was a mansion in the country. Those were the days that rockers started buying stately homes- they were the new aristocracy, buying historic homes, vast estates and ostentatious cars.
The Beatles had split up, Woodstock had happened and suddenly rock stars had long hair, wore jeans and went bare-chested. In the space of four or five years, bands had gone from being boys in suits to high-adrenaline rockers. Drugs, alcohol and groupies were everywhere.”
