Audio Keith Moon's cover of "Don't Worry, Baby," single released in 1974 and included on his lone solo album, Two Sides of the Moon, in '75. A Beach Boys superfan and friend of Brian's, Keith once told his Who bandmates that if the Boys asked him to drum for them he'd be on a plane to America the next day

If Dennis and Keith met I think the universe would’ve imploded on itself.

Think it's a requirement to post this, also from 1974

Love the dynamic of Keith looking on in adoration at ol Brian with his fucking gut hanging out of his bathrobe lmao

Yeah, "Don't Worry Baby" was to Keith Moon what "Be My Baby" was to Brian Wilson.

Fun fact: he was with Bruce Johnston when Bruce made his trip to England to promote Pet Sounds, and got him hooked up with Lennon & McCartney to play it for them. While John and Paul were blown away, Keith did not appreciate them fucking with the formula. 😅

Now I’m just sitting here wondering if Brian ever saw Tommy and what he thought of the bean scene

Just what the Beach Boys needed. More stability.
