Rich, The Who was my first concert in 1970. I was 17 years old. I watched the roadies nail down Keith Moon's drum kit to the stage, then duct-taped it down. By the second song, he tore the kit from the stage. Keith Moon was that kind of drummer. They played the entire Tommy album. It was amazing.
The Who drummer in the Behind Blue Eyes live sketch was Kenney Jones, he joined The Who after Keith sadly died. He had previously drummed with The Small Faces & The Faces. Tony
Pardon me more to add. It was a large metal building called The Majestic and the Who were playing. No seating and the stage was about 4 ft. high. I stood right in front of them for 90 minutes and didn't move, other than dodging Moon's drums and shrapnel from Pete'sguitar. I was 17 and it was life changing. I would like to recommend especially for Kel. Please watch. Live at Leeds / My Generation- Magic Bus and Young Man Blues. You can thank me later. This will show you the essence of this great band.
I was 18 when my older brother bought this album, “Who’s next?” The cover was designed to shock and I loved it. And I love it still. And I absolutely all the tracks on it including this one as much now as I did, back in 1971. It still sounds fresh and contemporary.
I was in the service. A bunch of us went to a dive bar which was full of hardcore bikers, (we were the only ones not armed) when they played this this song at closing time, everybody in da joint was singing along, eyes getting misty. An experience I'll never forget.
Kenny Jones is on drums in the live footage. He took over from Keith Moon after his death. He recorded 2 Albums with The Who, Face Dances and It's Hard. He joined in 1979 and played on all their Tours from 1979 to 1985 his last performance with The Who was at Live Aid, July 13th 1985 at Wembley Stadium.
The demand for tickets was so great that the show was relayed to nine cinemas throughout the area (all sold out) all nine cinemas are mentioned through the show. The band put on a great two and a half hour performance (probably the best show they played with Jones on drums). The band were physically and emotionally spent which makes the performance all the more remarkable. Pete mentions losing family it refers to thirteen fans being crushed to death five nights earlier in Cincinatti. The band wanted to cancel the rest of the tour but the promoters were having none of that stating riots would ensue if they did`nt turn up as an excuse. Only one venue cancelled Providence Rhode Island on the last night so they went back to Largo which they had played 4 nights earlier. As a consequence of that their opening night of the 1980 tour in Vancouver was made mail order only a small ad was put in the Vancouver Sun the response was 3,200,000 requests for 16,000 tickets the largest mail-order response in history for a single musical event.
So I haven’t watched this yet. I’m just in a mall so I can’t. This is a tough one for me. I was bullied as a kid. A lot. This song always brings me back to those years. I almost always find tears welling up in my eyes whenever I hear it. I don’t know what Kel’s reaction is as I haven’t watched it yet. I will message again when I do. I know I’m gonna cry. But what an amazing song. Thanks guys.
Stuart, I'm sorry to hear that you had it rough. I hope that through all that bullying that you came through as one rough tough dude. Here on Kel & Rich's channel; you have found friends that care about you. :-)
My favorite The Who song. Great lyrics, composition, and vocals. The emotion of this song digs deep for me. No surprise that Kel fell in love with this at first listen. ❤️
I live in Cincinnati, specifically Finneytown where three students from the High School -- my wife graduated from here in '79--died in the tragedy. Roger and Pete have been very supportive of a scholarship program for arts majors named for the three who died. On the sly, Roger made a trip last year to Cincinnati to meet with the scholarship program's organizers and tour the school! While their support is probably more symbolic it is very cool and much appreciated.
In 1978 I was lucky enough to see them on their first retirement tour with Kieth Moon on the drums. They took time off half way through the tour and in 1979 just before they were scheduled to go back on the tour Keith passed away. they returned to the tour with Kenny Jones filling in on drums then retired for about a year or so and went back to the studio and back to touring again. That's the short version and I may have omitted some details.
That was great! Kel, your reaction to the ending of the album version was very "rock!" lol. Behind Blue Eyes is one of my favorites of The Who's catalog. But yes it could be longer😁 thank you both again for a great reaction.
One of my favorite Who songs! If you haven't done Love Reign 'Oer Me is another great one! Rich is right, if you wanted your music on the radio it had to be short.
This was also a song by, and about, a character in the Lifehouse rock opera that was scrapped. I always felt it was more about the evil that power generates in people.
It’s written from the point of view of the dictator in Pete’s unfinished rock opera ‘Lifehouse’. I compare it to President Snow in the Hunger Games. Feels he has to do nasty things to preserve society, but has regrets.
This was the exact length it needed to be. Most hit songs back then were about 3 to 4 minutes. Great thing about it is that it makes you want to come back for more. That was Kenny Jones on drums in this video. I also remember this iconic album cover. I'm surprised Kel didn't comment on it. Pissing on a monolith has to be a metaphor for something but I still haven't figured it out.
Forty years ago I was 31 and just getting married. I was out of new music by 72. I missed all this. My first time hearing this. Thanks Rich and Kel Peace and Love
I had an epiphany when I was 11 and heard Tommy the who for the first time. My girlfriend and I went to her house after school and her brother had just got the album and was playing it in his bedroom. I couldn't think anymore. I had to go see where this beautiful music was coming from. From then on I was a who fan. I had seen them in concert in Tampa in the 80's and Roger Daultry ran in place from the beginning till the end. It was amazing energy. always in my heart
My high school experience was... well, difficult. Went to a boy's Catholic military academy. Was bullied, with faculty participation. A fish out of water, I was... this song became my anthem the second I heard it. And it helped me tremendously to know that someone else felt my pain so badly as to write a song (and a kickass song at that). The Who in many ways saved me by helping me cope through their music. And yes, I have blue eyes.
Great reaction. I was at that concert and it would be the fourth and last time I saw them. The first time was the best. 3 of my friends and I went to Lake Geneva, Wis. for 3 days before we started our senior year of H.S. We went to concert
My favorite band. My favorite album. A lyrically genius song from the perspective of the antihero. Among Pete's very best in a prodigious body of work. Thanks for your reaction and analysis.
When I worked at a small sub-assembly plant for general Dynamics (a module for the Post Office), I would occasionally have to spend a day back in a small room cutting plastic u-shaped tubes into the lengths needed for the module. I had full control of my environment. And so I had my CD player back there paying at max volume. I played this CD a lot. ;-)
@@Kel.N.RichReactions She's my 'pride and joy', and if you cross her you'll see a man get mean. ;-) Nikki is the daughter anyone should aspire towards, in every way. I'll be seeing her and her 'group de jour' in another week down in York PA, as part of a road tour that ranges up through New England. Catch her if you can! I read her bedtime stories (the Hobbit and such) and played her the music she wanted to hear, anything from the Pipes and Drums of Williamsburg to the Spice Girls and Brittney Spears. Her first real 'Christmas gift' request was, as age ten, the Led Zep four CD set.
I've played guitar and sung along since about 1988. The best compliment I've ever received was when my mom said she thought my version of this was better than the original. OK she's my mom so she's biased, but it still made me feel good
This album,Who’s Next,is in my top five of all time.Meaning that ALL the songs on the album had merit.My others are Bad Company...Bad Company, Journey Escape,Boston...Boston,and Led Zeppelin 3.The Who had underrated harmony.And look at the album covers of my 5.
Enjoyed the reaction guys, can't hear a bad Who song..Kel must hear "Who Are You" I am sure she will be out of the seat dancing..Ty as always Keep Well Keep Safe
So. Yes there were a couple tears. You know how a note, or song, or sound can bring you back to certain time. Or remind you of a certain girl(or boy) you had a crush on this is one of those songs. But it’s such a great song.
I really appreciate when the videos incorporate both the lyric video with studio audio, followed by a live performance. Especially for Kel to hear the "radio version" and be able to read lyrics I think helps her appreciate the poetry that often gets overshadowed by the musicality. Then to see the band as it would have been at a concert, she gets a feel for the band's interaction with each other, the energy on stage and with the audience, and the mind boggling technique displayed by the musicians in their heyday.
One of the first songs that I learned to play by ear,(and watching my guitar playing friends!) Thanks for your devotion to playing the classics along with everything else. from ferretfret in Ct..
Hey guys! Rich, you gotta show Kel their performance of "A QUICK ONE" from "the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus". Best example of what they were back in their prime just before TOMMY! 🔥🔥
Find and listen/watch them @Woodstock, the Energy they do in that performance, was the best i have ever seen, its amazingly awesome / awesomely amazing. It will touch your life force, it's that kind of energy.
Equally good would be the whole Quadrophenia album. Love to see Kel's reaction to it. Then she can watch the movie, or vise versa. That album never gets old. Love your videos.
@@Steelwings19658 Keith is the drummer on the original studio version, the first part of this video. Kenney Jones is the drummer on the live track, the second part of this video.
Keith passed away shortly after the release of the Who Are You album in 1978. Kenny Jones was tapped to join in late 1978- early 1979. The live video was one of Kenny's first shows with The Who.
hahahaha Kel you are so funny. Rich is right - this was a radio tune. :-) This is when most music was played on AM; but, then the underground music found its way to the FM dial. Radio was mostly AM stations until the late 60's. :-)
"Who's Next" is a loose-knit concept album and that was the era of album rock, so it's better to listen to the songs in context. This song leads right into the incredible anthem "Won't Get Fooled Again." That album is almost 50 years old now and still sounds like it can be made today. It holds a firm place in the pantheon of greatest albums of all time. They'll be rediscovering it for the next 50 years for sure.
I saw them at Madison Square Garden on this tour, the year after Kieth Moon died, Kenny Jones played drums on this tour. Great , great, great concert, it was the first time I saw The Who. Won’t Get Fooled Again and Love Reign O’er Me were outstanding. \m/ Stay Metal \m/
If I'm not mistaken, drumming here is the amazing Simon Phillips who is one of the greatest drummers of all time. He also played on Pete Townshend's solo album "White City". AMAZING album. Listen to "Give Blood" or "Face the Face" from it.
This is probably one of the Who’s greatest works, it was originally meant to be another rock opera, but no one understood it, it was called Life House, but because no one had heard of virtual reality nobody understood the concept, so they scraped it and took the best tracks from a double album and created one of the best albums ever
You should try the early Who. My Generation from Monterey 1967, Can't Explain and Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere from Ready steady go in 1965. That was The Who I grew up with in London. The Who that is in my heart.
My favorite Who song is My Generation from their Live at Leeds album. In my opinion their best performance and a great medley of other songs all tied together.
Good old Kenney Jones on the drums. I believe he was either in 'The Faces' or 'The Small Faces'. He'd been a drummer for a LONG time before he joined the Who. EDIT: Just looked. He was in BOTH 'The Faces' and 'The Small Faces'.
I wish you had chosen 1975 for the live version, although you were doing it on the fly, so I get it. I love the 1975 live versions with Roger's long hair and fringey top. You get Keith drumming like a mad man, Pete jumping around, and John playing the bass like there is no tomorrow.
If you look at the Album cover, you can see they all just whizzed on the monolith thingie. Great album. Great song. The song leads into the next song, so there really is more.
Drummer Kenney Jones was from the group Small Faces. When it came time to get a replacement for Keith Roger didn't want a drummer that sounded like Keith because he didn't want to forget he was gone during a concert and turn around to see someone else at the drum kit. So tragic Moon the Loon died so young, he was integral to the group. In all the concert footage of him you can see Pete talking to him between songs, always clowning.
This was my theme song through my teens and twenties. Played the "angry young man" to perfection. A romantic notion then. I have now segued to Concrete Blonde "Take Me Home" as my theme. A romantic notion now.
I laughed so much when Kel gave her reaction and Rich was trying to hold his laugh back. That little bite on his arm was perfect. Lol! Loved this reaction.
Rich, The Who was my first concert in 1970. I was 17 years old. I watched the roadies nail down Keith Moon's drum kit to the stage, then duct-taped it down. By the second song, he tore the kit from the stage. Keith Moon was that kind of drummer. They played the entire Tommy album. It was amazing.
Cool... Wish I'd a been there. For the entire thing I know I wouldn't have forgot it.

Oh I LOVE this song!!!
totally caught Richs look at Kel when he said "it must be hard..really hard..i feel for you" ....classic denial play..well done
Pete wrote this song about his addiction and struggle to recover.
This was also a song by, and about, a character in the Lifehouse rock opera that was scrapped. I always felt it was more about the evil that power generates in people.

It’s written from the point of view of the dictator in Pete’s unfinished rock opera ‘Lifehouse’. I compare it to President Snow in the Hunger Games. Feels he has to do nasty things to preserve society, but has regrets.
I remember playing and singing this for my own edification at the college church and a few rooks in the pews gave me strange looks. Such a great song.
I love the way Kel really FEELS the music. She’s quite a rock chick! Can I say that in 2019?
Yes sir! You can!
Yup - 'cuz a rock chick isn't going to be offended.
Behind Blue eyes is my Favorite Who song!!!!!
I'm REALLY looking forward to this one!!!
Thanks for Whoever picked this one!!!!!!!
Again the love between you two is unmatched!! So refreshing!!!
One of the shortest most powerful songs ever! Always love this one.
Class track by a class band

One of the top classic rock bands of all time. spent lots of time as a kiddo jamming to The Who on LP and 8-track
I agree Kel, to short for sure. Beautiful song by a fantastic band. The Who rocks.☮️
You two are the best! Thank you for another awesome reaction video!
Kel has a comical way of throwing a fit. Was smiling and laughing the whole time.
I love Kel’s reaction priceless
do you think she's a bit soft ?

Find and listen/watch them @Woodstock, the Energy they do in that performance, was the best i have ever seen, its amazingly awesome / awesomely amazing. It will touch your life force, it's that kind of energy.
One of my favorite songs. Ambiguous. Heavy. Cruel.
always love to watch you guys reaction on these wonderful songs,love this song so much,love ur reaction!
There's no such thing as a cuteness scale that can measure Kel. They all overload and go splat.
lol so many times I felt that way with The Who at live shows Kel.
Who's Next Is Like A Greatest Hits Album Every Song is Fantastic!
I Love it! Kel went all Keith Moon... Off with the headphones!! Love you guys
Hit her up with the whole Tommy opera!!!🤣 Lifelong Who superfan & I LOVE how Kel gets it! LOL
Equally good would be the whole Quadrophenia album. Love to see Kel's reaction to it. Then she can watch the movie, or vise versa. That album never gets old. Love your videos.
1979 was after Keith-he died in 1978-so it's Kenney Jones on drums🎩
Recorded and released in 71. Keith on Drums.

It couldn't be made today. It is far too good to get by the music machine that cranks out crap today.
Zak Starkey (Ringo's Son) was also a drummer for The Who
I saw them at Madison Square Garden on this tour, the year after Kieth Moon died, Kenny Jones played drums on this tour. Great , great, great concert, it was the first time I saw The Who. Won’t Get Fooled Again and Love Reign O’er Me were outstanding.
\m/ Stay Metal \m/
Encore bravo !!!!!!
Top reaction to top song from top album.
Kenney Jones was on the drums. Might be my favorite who song. Love reign o'er me, you better bet are other two top songs.
If I'm not mistaken, drumming here is the amazing Simon Phillips who is one of the greatest drummers of all time. He also played on Pete Townshend's solo album "White City". AMAZING album. Listen to "Give Blood" or "Face the Face" from it.
This is probably one of the Who’s greatest works, it was originally meant to be another rock opera, but no one understood it, it was called Life House, but because no one had heard of virtual reality nobody understood the concept, so they scraped it and took the best tracks from a double album and created one of the best albums ever
Goosebumps
Hi guys I’m from a small town in Canada Thunder Bay I grew up in the 70’s like your vids
It's an album you put on and let play all the way through. Every song is great.
You should try the early Who. My Generation from Monterey 1967, Can't Explain and Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere from Ready steady go in 1965. That was The Who I grew up with in London. The Who that is in my heart.
Kel is spectacular!
This song like many songs on this album are from Pete's Lifehouse project which was another attempt at a rock opera. This was the antagonists theme.
Keith passed on September 13, 1978, my 13th birthday. Kenny Jones is on drums for the 1979 live performance.
My Generation by the Who is their anthem for all generations
My favorite Who song is My Generation from their Live at Leeds album. In my opinion their best performance and a great medley of other songs all tied together.
Some time less is more. One of the greatest songs and bands
Lmao, great react guys, classic song The Who is legendary. Rich I think you created a monster, lol
Good old Kenney Jones on the drums. I believe he was either in 'The Faces' or 'The Small Faces'. He'd been a drummer for a LONG time before he joined the Who. EDIT: Just looked. He was in BOTH 'The Faces' and 'The Small Faces'.
Entwistle also had blue eyes. Only Moonie had brown eyes.
If only we can see the reaction of Rich, for a Rachmaninoff piece, just because I know Kel is an accomplished pianist. Now there's an idea :)
I honestly think that The Who had are at their peak the four best musicians in rock and Townsend was producing his best stuff at this time.
I wish you had chosen 1975 for the live version, although you were doing it on the fly, so I get it. I love the 1975 live versions with Roger's long hair and fringey top. You get Keith drumming like a mad man, Pete jumping around, and John playing the bass like there is no tomorrow.
Best live band of all time! ... In my humble opinion 😉
I Saw the Who in 1979, Vancouver B.C.
And trashed a Penthouse Hotel Room in their honour!
"When in Town for The Who...
BEHAVE like The Who!"
If you look at the Album cover, you can see they all just whizzed on the monolith thingie.
Great album. Great song. The song leads into the next song, so there really is more.
Keith was replaced (well, kinda) by Kenney Jones, who also played with the Faces and Small Faces.
Drummer Kenney Jones was from the group Small Faces. When it came time to get a replacement for Keith Roger didn't want a drummer that sounded like Keith because he didn't want to forget he was gone during a concert and turn around to see someone else at the drum kit. So tragic Moon the Loon died so young, he was integral to the group. In all the concert footage of him you can see Pete talking to him between songs, always clowning.
The drummer is Kenny Jones former drummer in Small Faces and Faces
This was my theme song through my teens and twenties. Played the "angry young man" to perfection. A romantic notion then. I have now segued to Concrete Blonde "Take Me Home" as my theme. A romantic notion now.
Yay, for Chicago! That's where I'm from. Nobody loves us anymore.
I laughed so much when Kel gave her reaction and Rich was trying to hold his laugh back. That little bite on his arm was perfect. Lol! Loved this reaction.
The album that made my senior year at Cal!
