Helsinki, Kaivopuisto, Finland, June 1966

Marko Toikkanen is curious about The Who’s concert in helsinki on June, 6th 1966. He writes:

Just curious if you have any more information about this concert. I couldn’t find mention of it from “Anywhere Anyhow Anywhere” and few sources references the following year’s gig at Helsinki Ice Arena ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BkGeEYNxB4 ) as Who’s first visit to my country. So I’m wondering if it happened or it was planned but never went ahead for some reason.
Thanks for a fantastic site once again.

Hampton Beach Casino show date

Dave English looks for a show The Who played at the Hampton Beach Casino. He writes:

A local venue (Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom) in Hampton, New Hampshire, USA has decided tk make a wall of fame for famous acts that played there. It seems they know The Who played there but don’t know the exact date. My guess is very early on in their career. I searched for NH but only see a 2013 show in Manchester. Any idea? Thanks.

Any help is welcome. Write to info@thewholive.net.

Entwistle shows in CANADA

Michael remembers a show played by John Entwistle in Vancouver in the 1990s. Any help is recommended:

 You’re missing a great show in Vancouver, done with little Manhattan and a Buzzard. He did some songs off TOO LATE THE HERO.

In a small nightclub very near to BC Place. Wish I could recall the date, it was a great show. Table near the front featured wonderful tall blonde twins, apparently John’s date for the evening .
