I played this as my wife’s coffin was being brought in. She was a great CSI fan, and I love the WHO. She was only 50, but I think she had a great send off.
We saw them in Vegas 5-6 years ago. I was not keen on seeing them but my kids wanted to. They were right it was a great show. I have thought about it often I and will do it again if I go back. Definitely the best show I have seen in Vegas,
Guess you could call this a fun version. Just knowing that people still appreciate this incredible song enough to redo it in whatever form makes me happy. It's definitely one of my all time faves.
@Rick, well said ,amazing performance totally mesmerising, I can watch it over and over again and find something more new to enjoy ! don’t you agree ? can’t wait to see them live again.
blimey the power in that girl singing when she hits the note at word love is mind blowing the way she bobs her head an everything is one of the most powerful performances i have ever seen an heard in my life fair play love it.
She’s great all the way through but I’m dying to know what word you were referring to when she hits the note?? I thought you meant the word “love@ but I dont think it’s in there?
I saw them in Vegas... not this show, but the one where they cover the audience with paper in the end. It was the best live rock concert I've ever seen.
Same. They gave me the painting they do which I now have hanging on my wall. At the end of the show I was too buzzed to walk home and had to just sit and take it all in!
i saw this show as a birthday gift!!! definately in my alltime top 100 & i seen 1000$ of shows... it was so real n fun, ratherthen waiting for "the good tunes" everything about thehow to bea rock show was amazing!!! thx sis!!!
Saw them live in Vegas. Great stuff. This is also my favorite song of Townshend's compositions for The Who. Wonderful tribute here by BMG, the band, and the singer.
I saw Them in Vegas at Their Venue! Blew me away!!!!! Also saw them in Cincinnati. Not as good as the previous show but then.... They had a lot to live up to!
I was once sleeping on a cruise ship and I dreamt I was on a spaceship and landed on a far off planet where I got out and could breathe, and walked by many seemingly harmless aliens and then entered a building and then a room and found Blue Man Group there and I said, "So this is where you are from!" and then woke up with a smile on my face.
I happen too see em back in 2007 at the Baltimore civic center and they put on a great show if you get the opportunity to see them do it you won’t be disappointed and just a side note the woman singing is a world class violinist Traci Bonham and she just blew me away
Sometimes thought the Blue Man Group was, well kind of weird. But after seeing THIS video and a REAL backup singer and and the rest. Well MAN! THIS IS GREAT!!!
I love how everybody on here is commenting about it taking six drummers to replace Keith Moon and nobody's talking about the fact it took three guys to do Townsend's guitar work.
Well they have band and they break out parts. Of course they could have a single drummer and a single guitar player and just duplicate the song, but that is not their act.
Wow what an intergalactic experience, hi mom was watch these blue men at a gig tonight and they looked and sounded as though they had just beamed down from the starship enterprise, fabulous musicians, aliens and performers, More please. James T Kirk esq
My goodness that's a lot of talent! What a great choreography and arrangement that is for all those percussionists. 🔥 🔥 🔥 Kudos to the band and vocalists!
It's probably mostly just Midi triggers. The piano is, for sure, and the PVC thingies would have uncontrollable feedback if they were miced in a space like this. Sounds cool tho.
Alex Sweet my thoughts exactly, I saw The Who soon after his death and Townsend introduced the new band by saying, here are the 8 people it took to replace Keith Moon
Seen the who three times (none with moon) two with zack Starkey. I've also seen the Blue Man Group twice in Florida. Wish I saw moon but the Who are still a force! In case you wondered, it was I.O.W. festival 2004, the Rose Bowl 2007 & Glastonbury 2015 were the places I see the Who.
Jedi Master Joe I think they’re pretty equal in their own respect. Stewart Copelands up there as well. Back then they didn’t have quantizing so it sounded better with the “feel” of the drums.
As a real Who fan I have to admit that performance was pretty impressive. Having said that, the audio of the back-up band could’ve been turned up another click or two.
Mix definitely could have been better. The singer is panned almost hard right. Some of it could come from a surround mix that didn't translate to a youtube video etc. I am sure the live experience would have been good. I think this cover is pretty good, love their slant on the arpeggio organ. Cheers
also this cover is a bit "soft" especially when hearing the electric guitar, and for me it's not as satisfying as the original. obviously it's still awesome and great work
Wow, this is an awesome cover of an awesome song. I especially like the way they replaced John Entwhistle on the bass with a guy bashing the crap out of a grand piano.
+RetSquid Most instrument lovers will enjoy watching instruments being used in new and interesting ways even if it is destructive on the instrument. And not just because the user will need to re-tune or buy a new instrument. You might ask guitar guys about all the guitars destroyed on stage and see what they say about that.
I just saw them 2 months ago......they've LOST soooooooooooo much !!!!!!! This was amazing !!!!!!!! They need to get back to the creative percussion again, and bring back more musicians !!!!!!!!!!!!! Get back to THIS, GUYS !!!!!!
These folks did more for PVC pipe than the Construction and Plumbing industries could ever have hoped for. Great show you need to see them on stage at least once.
This is a fantastic cover version of one the greatest pieces ever composed. And they played everything LIVE. Unfortunately THE WHO never played it live without the sequencer. Even with 35 musicians on stage(2019).
Awesome! I saw them years ago when they covered "Like A Virgin", "Crazy Train" and "Freebird". This cover version of The WHO classic ups the ante. I'm DEFINITELY going to see them again!

I’m 73 ❤and love them !!!! They played at my 9th grade class sock hop before they were famous--- I lived in Houston
Really? They started in 1987 out of Chicago.
@@Hillbilly001 Its a joke. Laugh.
I played this as my wife’s coffin was being brought in. She was a great CSI fan, and I love the WHO. She was only 50, but I think she had a great send off.
That's bloody brilliant... Fairplay to you ....
Fabulous....Just fabulous. Thank you for sharing

Sorry for your loss.
I lost my wife to diabetes.
Sorry for your loss.

Me too!!! Michael...😊.
Saw them in Vegas a long time ago. Expensive. It was worth every freaking minute! It BLUE you away!
Same here, worth every penny
Under $20 in Boston a looong time ago!
Guess you could call this a fun version. Just knowing that people still appreciate this incredible song enough to redo it in whatever form makes me happy. It's definitely one of my all time faves.
Boomer music is the best!
@Rick, well said ,amazing performance totally mesmerising, I can watch it over and over again and find something more new to enjoy ! don’t you agree ? can’t wait to see them live again.
@@LoneBrowncoat yes sir, we grew up with music. Nowadays the unfortunate children have grown up with rap
Amen!
Wow
blimey the power in that girl singing when she hits the note at word love is mind blowing the way she bobs her head an everything is one of the most powerful performances i have ever seen an heard in my life fair play love it.
Also check out Venus Hum doing “I feel love” with BMG.
She’s great all the way through but I’m dying to know what word you were referring to when she hits the note?? I thought you meant the word “love@ but I dont think it’s in there?
LOVE BLUE MAN GROUP AND 💙 HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS TIMELESS ROCKER.. Hard to believe this song came out in 1971
I love this rendition. The way they tuned the piano so when he hit's it was a magnificent idea, and those instruments made with pvc is awesome.
Growing up in the 70s this song spoke to my soul. This version is excellent. Bravo Brava
Love B.M.G. !!!!! Saw them in Michigan and they won us over !!!!! Amazing show !!!!!
I saw them in Vegas... not this show, but the one where they cover the audience with paper in the end. It was the best live rock concert I've ever seen.
Same. They gave me the painting they do which I now have hanging on my wall. At the end of the show I was too buzzed to walk home and had to just sit and take it all in!
Same here, the show kicked ass from start to finish...If I remember correctly, the show was at the Pyramid. The rolling paper was a trip of its own.
Was it the Complex Rock Tour? 🤘
@@DubHead69420 Yes, I believe so. All of the shows are great even though the casts change. I watch every video I find.
Me too, it was awesome!
Every drum and percussion fanatics dream right here..love these guys.
Uh, no. Blue Man Group is pure shit.
@@bodychoke No... Trump supporters are pure shit. Blue Man Group is phenomenal!
The live shows are killer, worth every penny.
You can't just cover a masterpiece, you have to stylize it. Well done here.
Great showmanship and wild drumming in honour of one of the best sticksmen that ever roamed this globe
Keith was my mentor. Got my first drum set in 8th grade. Will be 72 in October.
These are truly musicians. Working together and sounding great.
i saw this show as a birthday gift!!! definately in my alltime top 100 & i seen 1000$ of shows... it was so real n fun, ratherthen waiting for "the good tunes" everything about thehow to bea rock show was amazing!!! thx sis!!!
She is great and the novel instrumentation adds a new dimension to the song
Saw them live in Vegas. Great stuff. This is also my favorite song of Townshend's compositions for The Who. Wonderful tribute here by BMG, the band, and the singer.
Saw them in Vegas 6 years ago and was lucky enough to be given the painting they created in their show! One of the most unreal nights of my life!
Saw these guys in 2015 in Vegas. The best entertainment I've ever experienced. Go see them!
Brings back memories seeing them with my husband! Rest In Peace❤️
I'm sorry for your loss and I'm sure he's looking down at you with love in his heart.
@A poncé
the photographer is in the cage and the pup is on the outside.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Take good care of yourself. 🌻💐🌷
@A poncé
lol...
It's obvious! look at the picture!!!
The most surprising Who-cover i've seen in yearsDelightfull and fresh. I hope Pete & Rog have seen this!
We saw these guys in Vegas like 20 years ago and the show was incredible.
I saw Them in Vegas at Their Venue! Blew me away!!!!! Also saw them in Cincinnati. Not as good as the previous show but then.... They had a lot to live up to!
I love how the band still look confused, like "What is this place? What is this planet? Earth, you call it? May I bang this piano? Thank you."
How did i get here? Letting the days go by
I was once sleeping on a cruise ship and I dreamt I was on a spaceship and landed on a far off planet where I got out and could breathe, and walked by many seemingly harmless aliens and then entered a building and then a room and found Blue Man Group there and I said, "So this is where you are from!" and then woke up with a smile on my face.
@@clarkanine This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife.
John Smith My God, what have I done?!
@@deydraniadiancecht8298 ... are you the doctor? Doctor Who?????
This is the first time I’m actually listening to the blue men band. I’m blown away by their talent and wish I’d listened sooner.
Yeah, people looked at them like it was a gimmick. Some of the most truly outstanding performances have come from that group.
I happen too see em back in 2007 at the Baltimore civic center and they put on a great show if you get the opportunity to see them do it you won’t be disappointed and just a side note the woman singing is a world class violinist Traci Bonham and she just blew me away
Watch them performing with ‘Venus Hum’ ‘I feel Love!’
@@grahamcroucher8541 Absolutely.. this is great.. Venus Hum with I Feel Love is MAGNIFICENT!
You and me both Rebecca……and I’m 67 !
Absolutely EXCELLENT! I watched it three times and I'm not even stoned!
The first time I seen the blue man was in 2001! I still love them.
Kinda wished they reverted the Luxor show back to the 2000 version, would be nice to see unte wire men and last train to trancentral
Sometimes thought the Blue Man Group was, well kind of weird. But after seeing THIS video and a REAL backup singer and and the rest. Well MAN! THIS IS GREAT!!!
That was absolutely amazing! Blue group absolutely brilliant!
Most Excellent!
Search " Blue Man Group I Feel Love " for another top performance.
I think one of the great and awesome performances of this song.
Saw them in Mar 2000 in Boston. Unforgettable.
They did the moon man proud!!! That was friggin great!!!!
How these guys can do what they do and make a cover into so much more is visually and auditory magic for me.
I love how everybody on here is commenting about it taking six drummers to replace Keith Moon and nobody's talking about the fact it took three guys to do Townsend's guitar work.
Yeah you right
touche
But it took six drummers to replace Keith Moon.
Well said!
Well they have band and they break out parts. Of course they could have a single drummer and a single guitar player and just duplicate the song, but that is not their act.

The two drummers playing standing up were so perfectly in synch! Even down to the way their hair was flying about.
My goodness that's a lot of talent! What a great choreography and arrangement that is for all those percussionists. 🔥 🔥 🔥
Kudos to the band and vocalists!
Just listening to the song, without watching the video, it sounds like one of those uplifting inspiring songs
Amazing !! What they do with PVC pipe is mind blowing !
It's probably mostly just Midi triggers. The piano is, for sure, and the PVC thingies would have uncontrollable feedback if they were miced in a space like this. Sounds cool tho.
Great cover. Any who haven't seen it, look up their cover of the Donna Summer hit "I Feel Love"- truly incredible.
The one with Venus Hum in the technicolor dress?
@@bradmaj Yes this one - ua-cam.com/video/8vBKI3ya-l0/v-deo.html
@@bradmajshe really makes that song.
I love The Who and Blue Man Group!! Spectacular rendition of a Pete Townshend classic !
Seen them at their theater in NYC twice. Once at their theater in Chicago. And the traveling arena show once. It never gets old!
The New York one is the most entertaining show, hopefully they don't make dumb decisions to that show like the one in vegas.
What a very very amazing job . . . . .,,😎😎😎
WOW. HOLY MOLY. Blue Man Group are EPIC!
The answer to the question "How many percussionists does it take to equal one Keith Moon?".
90% of them.
Notice how many drummers it took to replace Keith Moon.
Alex Sweet my thoughts exactly, I saw The Who soon after his death and Townsend introduced the new band by saying, here are the 8 people it took to replace Keith Moon
@@ThomNH6229 i remember that
Seen the who three times (none with moon) two with zack Starkey. I've also seen the Blue Man Group twice in Florida. Wish I saw moon but the Who are still a force!
In case you wondered, it was I.O.W. festival 2004, the Rose Bowl 2007 & Glastonbury 2015 were the places I see the Who.
You see the number to replace moon now take that number and times it by 100 and it’s only be 1% form replaceing Bonham
Jedi Master Joe I think they’re pretty equal in their own respect. Stewart Copelands up there as well. Back then they didn’t have quantizing so it sounded better with the “feel” of the drums.
These guys just moved to the top of my bucket list. Tops 12 years left. I can do thisssss. Might have to get my son to take me. Even better.
They are so talented!❤❤❤❤
Accolades to the blue men and.....the band!! They always filled the show with awesome musicians!
The who would be proud!!!
As a real Who fan I have to admit that performance was pretty impressive.
Having said that, the audio of the back-up band could’ve been turned up another click or two.
Mix definitely could have been better. The singer is panned almost hard right. Some of it could come from a surround mix that didn't translate to a youtube video etc.
I am sure the live experience would have been good. I think this cover is pretty good, love their slant on the arpeggio organ. Cheers
Have to agree with the other comment. The audio probably just didn't pick up to well on the recording.
I agree
also this cover is a bit "soft" especially when hearing the electric guitar, and for me it's not as satisfying as the original. obviously it's still awesome and great work
Agreed!
Finding a good mixer is like trying to find a drummer who shows up on time.🤣
Very cool vibe with that blue Man flavor. Singer was really good !
Wow, this is an awesome cover of an awesome song. I especially like the way they replaced John Entwhistle on the bass with a guy bashing the crap out of a grand piano.
Great observation!
Seen them in Vegas when they first started to do shows, awesome 👏!
The first time i heard this was on House M.D. then i searched and found it here and love it. The Blue Man Group are amazing
Absolutely incredible!! Expand the screen to catch it all. Bet The Who never saw THIS coming!! (I'm sure this will make them proud.)
Great way to carry the song to the future.......I am lucky to have grown up with Pete, Roger, John and Keith making masterpieces.
Not just anyone can cover a WHO song and do it Justice ! Good job !
3:23 epic guitar playing. 3:52 epic vocalizing with drumming getting faster and faster and intense.
If you haven't seen BMG live, you've missed something big. Moon is dead. Long live BMG and this radically great performance. I applaud the singer.
What have I just watched - WHO knows? Maybe I've been visiting the Magic Bus too much? BTW, - superb.
Absolute creative genius !
I think Pete would love it.
They are very great to hear. Its insane the Prices to see Great Bands now. Peace to all of you. 😊😊
One of the most original and persistent show concepts ever. The Blue Man Group.
Sadly, they just ended their residency in Chicago. Kind'a hard to believe.
This was great! But November 22, 1973, Thanksgiving night at The Forum in Inglewood...well, if you were there, you'll know.
Бьютифул!
Прекрасно!!
Восхитительно !!!
Особенно рояль !!!
This alright! Not a patch on their version of ‘I feel love’ with ‘Venus Hum’ and their incredible singer!
0:37 piano turners across the world twinge in fear.
RetSquid Some very good piano tuner had to set this instrument up for BMG to be able to play it like that.
Matthew Bradley And he's probably cringing....
+RetSquid All the way to the bank...

*Sarcasm*
The piano smasher gets me every time
These guys are great! They were just drummers. Then they created a band with the best musicians. Great show.
those cymbals are higher than my will to live
Seriously soooooooo gooood!!❤❤❤❤
Perfect instrument for the intro
This was always a crowd favorite at our shows. Ok mine too. Our band is long gone but the video remains. Lol
Incredibly awesome performance
Absolutely fantastic
One of these day's I'm going to get to see Blueman group. Bucket list. Get it done soon because I'm 66. Lol
Omg that was just crazy n o boy did I juuuuuussst love every minute of it!!!!
BRAVO!!
Wow, great performance. Don't beat The Who but sure beats that piano and them drums. Tracey great singer.
the singer is Adrian perlmutter & she is amazing!
I wonder if Mavis Staples would ever consider doing a cover a Baba O'Riley
I saw them in Denver co for this show!
I just saw them 2 months ago......they've LOST soooooooooooo much !!!!!!! This was amazing !!!!!!!! They need to get back to the creative percussion again, and bring back more musicians !!!!!!!!!!!!! Get back to THIS, GUYS !!!!!!
The creativity is amazing
truly enjoyed this
this just unlocked a core memory from my childhood
FANTASTIC
Did it up blue, din't they just! Awesome from people that do awesome as a regular thing. FR
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
AND...OOOWEEEE SOOOOO COOL.!!!!
Fantastico come sempre e la cantante ...me la sposerei...lol
I saw these guys in Vegas , great show
These folks did more for PVC pipe than the Construction and Plumbing industries could ever have hoped for. Great show you need to see them on stage at least once.
Now that's what I call bringing down the house!
This is a fantastic cover version of one the greatest pieces ever composed. And they played everything LIVE. Unfortunately THE WHO never played it live without the sequencer. Even with 35 musicians on stage(2019).
I don't know why that's unfortunate. It was written for a synth. A TBO-1 on marimba repeat.
Awesome! I saw them years ago when they covered "Like A Virgin", "Crazy Train" and "Freebird". This cover version of The WHO classic ups the ante. I'm DEFINITELY going to see them again!
Well the current show is VERY differnet letting you know
These blue guys are always incredible. Much love.
Great performance
Beating on the piano and the bass drum has to be great therapy for releasing inner demons.
Second favorite cover of this.
I do love Nash the Slash's cover a little more.
Nash the Slash rules!
These guys are’nt half bad.
