The Who Tour 1967 was a series of performances and tours by The Who, supporting releases such as A Quick One, "Pictures of Lily", and The Who Sell Out. 1967 was the first year the group performed in North America.
The group continued to perform in the United Kingdom and Europe in the early part of the year, promoting A Quick One and "Happy Jack", both released in late 1966; one performance at the Saville Theatre in London saw the group share the bill with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, who had been performing in England since the previous September. In March, the band made their first trip to North America to play two to three short performances per day at New York City's 58th Street Theater as part of shows promoted by disc jockey Murray the K, packaging the group with several other artists. After the release of "Pictures of Lily", a return trip saw the band tour the United States and Canada coast-to-coast over three months while supporting Herman's Hermits, highlighted by their six-song set at the Monterey Pop Festival in June as well as an appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, both which showcased the requisite instrument smashing ritual that usually closed their performances (and produced memorable footage for The Kids Are Alright biopic). The group also booked studio time during the tour to record material for The Who Sell Out and tracks like "Mary Anne with the Shaky Hand" whenever possible. In between more performances in the United Kingdom, the band returned for another two-week stint in America late in the year, with The Who Sell Out seeing release in December.
