Back in the mid-1960s, a music revolution was underway, and one small club in Portsmouth was at the very heart of it all. The Birdcage Club, which first opened its doors in late February 1965 at Kimbells Ballroom in Southsea, embraced the shift from rhythm and blues to the dynamic sounds of soul and dance music. This vibrant shift in musical taste perfectly set the stage for one of the most iconic bands of all time. Before their legendary gig at the club, The Who, featuring the iconic line-up of Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey, and Keith Moon, made their initial Portsmouth connection with a special one-night-only performance. This electrifying show took place not at The Birdcage, but at the Savoy Ballroom on South Parade, a large venue for music and public dancing. The event, held on Sunday, 11th July 1965, was a precursor to the greatness that was to come and was supported by the local band The Crow. A Legendary Gig: The Who at The Birdcage Club A month later, The Birdcage Club found a new home in Eastney, where it truly cemented its place in music history. This legendary venue hosted a star-studded roster of artists, including Ike and Tina Turner, Cream, Pink Floyd, Jimmy James and the Vagabonds, Wilson Pickett, Stevie Wonder, Steampacket with Rod Stewart, The Action, Chris Farlowe, Ben E. King, and The Move. The Birdcage was the place to be for any music enthusiast. The Who’s debut performance at the new location took place just a week before Christmas. The The Who Birdcage Club poster brilliantly captures the excitement of the event. It boldly announces the gig will take place on “Saturday 18th December” before reminding music fans that the mod group were responsible for the recently released pop-art, guitar smashingsingle “My Generation”. This remarkable The Who Birdcage Club poster also highlights a unique moment in the band’s history, with Vivian Prine sitting in on drums for an ill Keith Moon for this show and ten other December dates in 1965.
