In January 1968, The Who and the Small Faces along with ex-Manfred Mann's lead singer Paul Jones embarked on a tour of Australia and New Zealand which became the most controversial tour of 1968. The tour was beset by problems from grievous authorities, an unkindly press, overzealous police and hostile airline crews.
As soon as the musicians set foot in Australia, the national press accused them of being scruffy long-haired junkies that wanted to corrupt the youth of the country.
In fact, the whole tour was so disastrous that Pete Townshend promised that he would never return to Australia, a promise he kept for the next 36 years.
In this video, we're going to explore what happened during the most controversial tour of 1968.
