Scot was at the left of the stage with his friend Mike Danese, and they saw Moonie go down for the second time, and Mike told Scot “Hey maybe you can go up there and substitute” but Scot thought he was nuts, until they heard Pete Townshend ask “Can anybody play drums?” and immediately Mike Danese set up a hue and cry that attracted Bill Graham’s attention, and when he came over, Mike told him “He plays drums!” Graham asked Scot “can you do this?” Scot just nodded, he was helped over the railing and escorted to behind the stage where he was given a quick lesson on Moon’s drum kit by the roadie, and then a quick gulp of Moon’s brandy that he always kept nearby, and Scot got behind the kit. By this time Daltrey noticed, leaned over and asked Scot his name, and Pete Townshend extended his hand to Scot and said “Just follow my lead, I’ll cue you.” Afterwards, both were invited backstage, Pete spoke to Scot briefly saying “I bet it sounded different up there than down there, didn’t it?” Scot and Mike loaded up some of the free food laid out for the guests and group, and quietly slipped out. The next day, radio statioins were abuzz with the story of the unknown audience member who saved the end of the Who’s show. Scot went on to otehr things, eventually married, and then died of a brain tumor. His widow wrote a letter to Pete Townshend and was surprised when on the day of his memorial serviuce, she received a special delivery leter from London from Pete Townshend, asking that it be read at his services. Pete wrote “Scot is often in my mind and always with the greatest afferction and admiration. He showed such youthful courage standing in for Keith Moon that fateful night at the Cow Palace. Scot played so well too, and afterwards didn’t ask for praise, try to be my best friend, or wanted free tickets, not that I would have minded if he did. He just played drums brilliantly, smiled, and went home. That was my little time with Scot and I am forever grateful for that 30 minutes that I knew him. I measure my life by the good and great people I have occasionally met. Scot is one of the truly great and good ones. I worked that out in just 30 minutes, this must surely say something about the man.”
