The Kids are Alright trivia: When they were rehearsing for their appearance on the Smothers Brothers show (the first scene in the movie) Keith and Pete kept adding more and more explosives to Keith's drum. When they actually did My Generation with the cameras rolling the explosion was so huge that it singed Roger's hair and you can hear the audience gasping. Watch carefully and you can see Keith put his foot up on the bass drum right before the guitar solo to set off the bomb. At that point they also stop pretending to play with the piped in music, and actually play the feedback part live.

I believe that is the initial incident that Pete blames his failing hearing loss (not to mention the volume of your band, Pete)
