The Who - I'm A Boy Promo HQ
Вставка

- Found this while lurking WHO-related links. The picture was a bit squashed so I re-proportioned it. The audio was atrocious, so I re-synced it using the track found on the "Then & Now" compilation. Notice how the stereo mix is similar in style to how Beatles' stereo LPs were being done at the time, with voices coming out of one speaker & the backing track coming out of the other. The question is: if you just listen to the backing tracks without the voices, were they flippin' lousy? Listen & decide!!
For best results, watch in HQ with headphones on (or really good speakers!)

I’ve loved The Who for 55 years already. Wish I could love ‘em for another 55. Greatest band in the universe by far.
Play guitar while posing in front of a full length mirror. 🤣
ABSOLUTELY!!!
Keith Moon....greatest rock drummer of all time!
Pete: the other one's me 👁️👃👁️
Ignore them below you, they’re bots
The other ones me 😈
Pete was/is such a good writer/musician an astounding band to have grown up with. I love the way he muted the chords in the middle added tension
I know it is pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Joseph Ezra Flixportal :P
@Elian Kalel thank you, signed up and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !
@Joseph Ezra Glad I could help =)
Never gets old.
John...the greatest bassist of all time ! RIP !
Nothin's flippin' lousy about this. Pure genius - chord break in middle is innovative- great guitar sound and probably performed more or less live on 4 track.
and didn't Townshend influence ...just how many guitarists? Love the Spanish sound to the break..brilliant back then..better now..if that's possible.
Yeah, those 10 thumbs-down must be friggin' deaf.
THERE ARE NO OTHER BANDS THIS GREAT !! THE WHO RULE ROCK WITH EASE !!
Love Pete's guitar.
There are several versions/different mixes of this song. One with a lot of John's French Horn, another with less. This one is the hit version, with very little French Horn and more of Keith's brilliant drumming. An absolute Classic.
Damn from the very very beginning the WHO was and still are THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER EVER. Keith Moon is the greatest drummer ever. Thank God I discovered the who when I was a little rug rat. Back in the 60s they have always kicked ass.
I saw The Who in 1968 at Westbury, NY and again in 1971 at Forest Hills!
@@MajorWolfgangHochstetter So how was it. I know it had to be two of the greatest concerts ever.
I am Glad I now know all the lyrics..... Great find !!! Love this period of The Who.
Yes 4 boys making great songs!
I never seen this clip before
Thank you
LOVE THE WHO FOREVER !!!
That rickenbacker sounds beautiful!
You mean, John Entwistle recorded with Rickenbacker bass and in the video appears with Fender!
That is the VOX amp that sounds so good. Not the guitar.
69zenos1 although Vox amps sound beautiful as well, Pete rarely used them. In most songs (including this one) and shows, Pete would use exclusively Marshall amps. I have a Rickenbacker 330 and a Vox AC30, which I did not have at the time when I made my first comment, that being said, that beautiful sound is definitely the Rick, not the amp lol.
@@MannyMarr Fair enough...then it was the celestion speakers. Not the Ric.
69zenos1 not too sure if your pulling my leg or serious... I mean the rickenbacker guitar is known for its beautiful clean and jangly guitar sound which is showcased in this song. Amps play a part in the sound but if I plug in a crappy $100 guitar into a badass amp with good celestion speakers, it’s not gonna automatically make it sound good 🤔
Love this! Reminds me weirdly of Talking Heads!
Keith Moon - never bettered, the finest, most inspirational drummist of his and my. generation. Not the technician, the competitive best or any bullshit, Keith was and always will be Keith - a star streaking across the musical firmament. 🌟❤️
CLASSIC ! They don't make 'm like this anymore.
Timeless classic
Herrlich , wie die Songs von The Who immer wieder eskalieren .
Even more relevant today!
Travelled quite well this song!
excellent timepiece
yes, Petes Rickenbacker is great! And the WHO original-lineup, is top!
Happy birthday Roger daltrey many happy returns of the day have a good one
always a phenomenal rhythm section... with the Who. Great chord work too.
Surprisingly great mix I’ve been re listening to it , it’s so different from how today’s music is mixed but also it’s a great song and band
Pete came up with this highly unusual chord sequence - AA - E4 - E - incredible!
classic......havent heard this for the best part of 50 years.......well done..thank you for the upload........h6uk
THE WHO. No one comes close !
Who?
Beatles Better than Who 😆
@@Dkeosjwp Nooooo haha
The Who is the Best.
amen
What a great find! Thanks for posting it.
Great job. The footage is terrific! Thank you.
I heard this on British T.V. on Juke Box Jury - it was a jury of older people who heard this and said it was dreadful - I was sat there thinking - I Love This - I was only a kid then and I'm 70 years old now and I still love it - that and Happy Jack sold me on The Who .
I couldn't understand Tommy when it came out, but fifty years on I think its a bloody masterpiece, Oliver Reid, Elton John, revenge and salvation from childhood trauma and self emancipation. This song and Tommy are anthems to all the kiddy fidlers trying to gain acceptance in the presds today.
two tracks that i wouldnt have been immediately "sold" on initially but get better and better each listen..the more obvious fair such as My Gen, anyhow anyway, Substitute, Cant explain are what "sold" me..now i just dig it all..superb group..wish i could have been there during that time.
@@nickterrett6613 I love Keith Moons drumming on Happy Jack - early days when they were recorded - The Who just got better and better as their music progressed .
@@mikecaine3643 moonies drumming on all tracks🤪 was something to behold..yes i find when you revisit old tunes you appreciate them even more than 1st time round..im finding that with old Small faces stuff aswell.
The who ; always the innovators !!! leading the Way !!!
This song is more relevant today than it ever was in 67.
A very PRESCIENT song for our times!
sadly😶
@@nickterrett6613 ;o)
So cool to see footage of the Who from 1966, even if they are just miming. Check out the sideburns on John Entwistle!
One of my all time Who faves! Such a progressive and thought provoking song for 1966. If this song came out today it would be controversial. I'm surprised the record company authorized its release.
I feel so bad for Bill. Poor kid, talk about forced feminization! The song addresses a key aspect of gender identity. You are born with a male or female spirit. If your mind and spirit are male no amount of living as a female will change that or vice versa. Kudos to Pete for making a song about this.
Bollocks, mums want to live out their fantasies and disappointments through their kids. Fuck all to do with 'spirits'. He's a boy and his mum wont admit it. Like so many entitled narcissists, if you aren't happy with what you've been given, its YOUR problem nobody else's.
The best you better believe it!
What a knockout record my favourite who song
Brilliant!
Nice job cleaning it up Leo, thanks. Always looking for Who stuff I haven't seen before.
You always knew when this band were 'pretend' playing. They never had leads connected into the guitars and Moony always hammed the drumming up.
Moon did it on purpose.
this music is so t-boy swag
Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!!
Good job with the sync well done!
James Younger.........Townshend saw this coming back in 1966.....brilliant!
This HQ recording is actually very clear which I do like,listening with headphones I don’t know why it would have all the vocals mix to one side nearly all the way through, this to me is a bit odd but not totally unusual for the 60s. I think Pete must behind this mix, the guitar sounds great. I also think the drums sounded better on the single. Fab song.
Good job, thanks.
Thankyou !
Love the who forever ❤
THE BEAST BAND EVER
lovely upload, thank you very much for your efforts! you're clearly a committed fan... 'flippin' lahsey', indeed! not many would get that connection and, am i right in thinking that pete's in the same togs as he is in that interview? also - just my tuppennyworth - but moonie actually seems to be making an effort to mime properly in this...
Pete 😍 the other was me :D
prophetic
Genius....
My name is Bill ..and I'm a head Case!!!
I've never seen this promo clip see summat new does pop up from time to time then
THE WHO !! ROCK'S HALL OF FAME NUMERO UNO !!
Nice clear drum bass and guitar ..🎸🎵
great clip.....there is another floating around....same as the substitute clip.???....just great stuff
Using that studio track really shows how Keith Moon totally drives the song, the drums are too muted in recordings of their live performances.
This HQ listed recording sounds great to me but I think the drums may be a little muted compared to other versions of the same recording I have. I agree the drums are extremely important to the who. I guess I should listen with headphones, come to think of it I’ll do that now.
@@jabax999 agreed, the studio produced recordiongs give you the impression the band is accompanying the drums. Keith was portrayed as the drummer Animal on the muppet show, what a tribute to a glorious mad man.
@@AndyJarman Moon added that extra splash of colour to an already great group of players. I love their hits, they were the standouts for me, Substitute, I’m a Boy, Pictures of Lili, My Generation and the list goes on.
I always favored pre-Tommy
Who..
Pre-, OK, but don't forget the post- !
In "Who's Next", 2 visionary electronic masterpieces in which Pete, once more, opened a new way for everybody.
The Who were the pioneers of music videos
This basically the first music bideo
"Who'd" have thought Keith Moon could get any louder..just give him a pair of big bangers and WHHaamm BAAmm💥💥💥💥💥
love from japan
GOLD
Watch, then weep Beatle's.
avanti anni luce
WOULDNT be able to go anywhere without hearing this blaring out at full volume especially my home parents shouting turn it down or I will put my foot through the bloody thing 😂😂 my mum liked her music and I was the only one in the household to own a record player and let no one else use it. I used to take the needle stylus out before going to work only my mother knew where it was { in her purse } many times my father came in while she had it on nothing said about the volume then. ? No volume NO OATS 😂
Immense.
great then...bloody brilliant now...
When I was a kid, I thought the lyric went "...ride my bike across the sea..." Which I still think is cooler than "across the street," lol.
THE WHO!!!
Pete can sing just as good as Roger!
You tube seems to be delivering this in mono; so I can't do the listening test that you suggest. :-(
This classic dirty reminds me of Tim Cooper, Carla Werner and Lindy Morrison!!
This reminds me of little James in Texas whose mom wants to make into 'Luna'.
Always loved this tune...cuz "My Name is Bill and I'm a Head Case"
Toller Song
Besonders gut gefällt Mr. TOWNSHEND bei seinen Springen
Heute leider ein alter Mann
very nice but being deaf in one ear i have to keep swapping headphones around to hear full song
it's a strange mix, that's for sure.
I love to watch Keith Moon play drums! For me, after Keith died The Who ceased to exist!
I always get a good laugh seeing Moon mime his drum playing. He never put in serious effort into it
No mics, dead giveaway! Also shorter version, check out the original one on MBB&Bouncy. But this is the one they always played live (????).
Sounds like Ma’s the head case here!
Maybe 65/66/67/68 was their best period. Fresh and provocative ear-deafening hard BEAT music.
No amps?
Where did this stereo mix come from? Never heard it before
My name is Bill and I'm a head case, in fact THEY'RE making up on MY face!
Years 60s Bands Invasion English:
The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Animals, The Cream, The Dave Clark Five, The Yardbirds, [{( THE WHO )}] ......
yep they belong with them all

Not that she won't admit, rather she doesn't like it.🤠
They did it first- and better.
Double bass in 67
the problems of boyhood.
Who the f### is giving this a thumbs down
Haben sie dem armen Keith Moon Schlagstöcke mit Wattebausch aufgedrückt👿
John: why do I keep doing this?
I am a boy
Triffic!.
