"Under a Raging Moon" is a song by the English rock singer Roger Daltrey, the lead vocalist of the Who. This song is the tenth and title track on Daltrey's sixth solo studio album, Under a Raging Moon (1985)
Mike DeGagne of AllMusic reviewed the recording, stating "Daltrey's thunderous but passionate ode to his former friend and drummer Keith Moon is a fervent downpour of frustration that can be truly felt inside every line of the song. A spectacular drum solo from Mark Brzezicki is a modest tribute to the late Moon and adds depth." Additionally, Rolling Stone's review said, "Parr's entry is the heartfelt title track, a clunky, roaring number that mourns Keith Moon with more sentiment than clarity. A bombastic hodgepodge salvaged by a passionate vocal, "Under a Raging Moon" unabashedly quotes "Baba O'Riley" and – in an old-fashioned bit of show-stopping theatre – employs seven drummers, including Stewart Copeland, Carl Palmer and Martin Chambers, each of whom plays a section of the elegy."
Drummers in order of performance:
Martin Chambers (The Pretenders)
Roger Taylor (Queen)
Cozy Powell (Rainbow, Whitesnake)
Stewart Copeland (The Police)
Zak Starkey (Son of Ringo Starr, Performed with The Who, Oasis, Icicle Works)
Carl Palmer (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Asia)
Mark Brzezicki (Procul Harum, Big Country, The Cult)
