OCTOBER 8, 1971 – The Who played a small, low-key show at the Student Union Hall at the University of Surrey, in Battersea (the University Hall was later moved to Guildford), England surprising everyone with a guest musician. Singer/songwriter John Sebastian, formerly of the folk-rock band The Lovin’ Spoonful joined in on harmonica for the song “Magic Bus.” Sebastian, who would go on to write “Welcome Back” for the US TV program “Welcome Back Kotter” is the only outside musician ever to jam with The Who on stage. Backstage, the group celebrated bassist John Entwistle’s 27th birthday. The venue also was the site of the first Led Zeppelin (formerly The New Yardbirds) concert on October 25, 1968.
