The 10 best Keith Moon performances, by Kenney Jones

Keith Moon in the studio and (inset) Kenney Jones at home.

“I loved Keith Moon," Kenney Jones told us. "He was a good mate of mine. I remember one time, we were both in Melbourne, Australia. Moony called me up and said, ‘Fancy a drink? Come round to my room’. So I came up to his room, knocked on the door. He lets me in, and as I look down on the floor, there’s a row of about ten snare drums. I said to him, ‘What you gonna do with them?’ And he says, ‘I’ll show you…’

“He picked one up and threw it – and it smashed through the fucking window. We were about eleven storeys high. So we both looked out of the window. It landed right in the middle of the high street in Melbourne, and there it was, just bouncing down the middle of the road."
