Peter Noone remembers their tour with The Who in 1967 ...

20 July 1967 ... The Who live on a Herman’s Hermits Tour. 

I was always a big Who fan, and one of the best things about being a pop star is that you got to invite your favourite rockers on tour with you. 

If you look in the background you can see silly dressed Herman and some Hermits watching The Who, who were a pop band then, and opened with 'Barbara Ann' and got to smash our stage gear for free for a whole USA/Canada tour. We were also joined by the Blues Magoos. 

Anyone see this tour? It was a special moment in the 60s. Salt Lake City – always a Herman’s Hermits highlight And still is today!
