During 1975 Marc Bolan of T.Rex fame recorded a series of interviews with an assortment of stars for the Thames Television current affairs show 'Today'. One of these featured Keith Moon, and in March the following year Bolan spoke briefly about it whilst himself being interviewed by Thames Valley radio.
It seems the session with Moon turned out pretty much as one would expect. I wonder if the unaired footage still exists in some vault or other.....
Interviewer; So you did six or seven?
Marc Bolan; We did eight, actually, and they've used seven of them, and one I did with Keith Moon, bless him. Which was totally unusable (laughs).
Interviewer; Did he pull the studio apart?
Marc Bolan; Oh no, no no no. What happened was, er, it started out alright, and, um, we just got slightly drunk. And it ended up just a mess.
The full interview is available on Youtube, the Keith Moon mention is around the 13.11 point;

To add quickly to the above, I've just been reading a book about Bolan which mentions this interview and claims that Keith Moon's "cruel humour" about Bolan's fading fame reduced him to tears on screen.
