    The Who waking up the hippies at Monterey, California in 1967... first of the great open air festivals we have to this day.

    There were lots drawn as to which act one go on first... The Who or Hendrix.

    The Who went on first and attempted to wreck the stage for Hendrix who had to appear after them... was a good attempt.

    Everything is self-evident.

      The band "The Move" never received any royalties for this hit. Their manager Tony Secunda was a publicity hound who without the knowledge of the band commissioned a cartoon that portrayed Harold Wilson performing a sex act with a female cartoon. The publicity stunt backfired with Wilson suing them. The bands manager agree to pay all the royalties of "Flowers in the Rain" to nominated charities of Wilson and his wife so to this day royalties ranging from a few hundred pound to 25k are paid to the Harold Wilson Charitable Trust. The song is frequently included in compilations of the Summer of Love.
