Sorry to read that. My wife was there as well. As a 6-month-old baby with her parents all the way from the Toronto area. I am jealous of the fact that she was there and I wasn't... Both her parents are still alive and still enjoying life like they did in 1969!
the 100-Watt Hiwatt's heads Pete Townsend and Jim Marshall created so Pete could keep up with the sheer volume Moon and Entwistle made, it was Pete Townsend who created Heavy Metal, without the 100- Watt Head Heavy Metal would have perhaps never happened, or would have been a little later in rock's evolution, Blue Cheer , the Detroit Sence, Psychedelic Garage Era Bands, the British Blues Era, Yardbirds, Kinks, even the Troggs " Wild Thing " not forgetting Eddie Phillips and the Creation then they had bigger amps and loudness happened, but to say the song Helter Skelter created Metal is a joke it's was Clapton and Page playing guitar on that song Vic Flick, but it wasn't Harrison or Lennon sorry they were hacks look at the guitars they played really Lennon played crap guitars
@IamSkullrules , John Lennon played an Epiphone casino. The best guitar I've ever played, unplugged unfortunately, was a Blonde Epiphone casino. It felt like it was made especially for me. It just felt right. This was a 1970 American made model. This was around 1974 and i couldn't afford the £375, second hand price. I've never forgotten about that guitar. It's the one that got away.
Roger said the sun was rising during this song. He said they couldn’t ask for a better light show. Could you imagine seeing this epic performance and the sun coming up right at the end of Tommy? Damn…
Definitivamente, casi que no tocan segun tengo entendido, pero al final tocaron a las 5:00 am....se imaginan....pero al fin tocaron....esta cancion fue la que mas me impacto cuando vi la pelicula documental Woodstock 69.....mirame, sienteme, tocame, saname.....
I agree, seen them 3 times in L.A. ( late 60's/early70's) they always gave it their all, each concert - pure blitzing power and when you left, you would say WOW !!! all the way home... and the next day... the next week...
It begins and ends with the WHO!!! Greatest band of their generation and it’s not even close! As good as the Beatles were and the stones they can’t touch the WHO!!!!
Timeless classic. Must have watched the Woodstock movie about 10 times. Couldn't get tired of it. Ran out of pocket money. I was still in primary school. This performance was the highlight for me👌👍🕺🕺🕺
@@moerer57 From what I understand the video that we can say is only about a third of the performances. The promoter screwed up and did not get releases sign prior to the concert. The who threatened the cameraman including a young Martin Scorsese and Neil Young just absolutely refused to perform if he saw a camera. I believe the full video can be shown at a private party situation by the filmmaker a few times a year.
Woodstock was the crescendo of Rock N Roll and The Who performance the summit of Mt. Everest. Theses guys were undoubtedly at their best and went off there. Keith Moon; ‘nough said.
He wanted to stay with us he was taking medicine to help him stop drinking. It's just back then nobody knew about addictive personality. And that's I think Keith had. He just kept taking the pills. Not knowing that he was killing himself. I hate hearing he died of a drug overdose it was an accident he shouldn't have been given all those pills. Now you only can get that kind of medicine when you are staying in the hospital so they can keep an eye on you.
@@jefferyfite7122 how you doing Jeff. I have been listening to THE WHO since the late 60s. And there's not a drummer to come close to Keith Moon. Ringo Starr son Zach is the drummer for THE WHO now and has been for a while now. And he used to sit on Keith's lap and play the drums with Keith. If you ever get a chance listen to Zach playing with the who. I close my eyes and I hear Keith playing this is now good Zach is now. As for Keith he just had to take everything to extreme. He once blacked out in the middle of a concert in San Francisco. Someone ask him if he wanted to take a horse tranquilizer. He said I am Keith Moon and he took a few of them. But Pete Townshend ask if anyone could play the drums and this guy got up on stage and played the drums for the rest of the show. Now that's one lucky dude playing Keith Moon drum set. Keith was like a little kid at times. What also could have fucked him up was he killed his best friend driving his car. Look it up Keith and a couple of his friends went to open a new club and the kids started a fight with Keith. Keith friend got out of the car to make sure Keith was in the car and Keith got in the driver's seat and ran over his best friend and killed him. They said Keith was never the same. I was reading that he had add I think that's what it's called attention deficit. Jeff rock on buddy and make sure you listen to quadrophenia. The greatest drum's ever and the Bass playing is never going to be duplicated. All 4 of the guys in THE WHO are at the top of the best of what they do. Greatest rock band ever saw THE WHO 5 TIME'S.
This was the peak of Woodstock...the crescendo....after the second break...coming back into it...Pete's windmill....over 500 thousand standing ,,,,if you listen hard enough, you'll hear a very loud whistle during the mid break lead. The Who became God's at this moment in history.
@Mike... Cheers! It's at 3:09... you've got great listening skills, ears! Never caught it the first time 'round. I measure every single band up to The Who (classic line up), and not many stack well, if at all. Not even their contemporaries do/did. But this is just my opinion. Wish I'd been born 2 decades earlier... I missed ALL of it. LOVE them!! (Saturday, April 9th, 2022@5:33pm EST)
Absolutely. Did you know Hendricks was supposed to have this time slot but the rain delayed everything, putting him in the daytime the next day. He was pissed but oh well.
YES !. A REAL ROCK GROUP. NONE OF THESE COMPUTERIZED CANDY ASS SO CALLED GROUPS OF NOWADAYS. THESE GUYS PLAYED INSTRUMENTS AND WROTE THEIR MUSIC. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE. ROCK ON GEN XERS!!.
With My Generation The Who turned my world upside down when I was in school. The 2nd time during Woodstock. Best time of my life looking back almost 55 years ago. Especially because of the music and the way of life.
They were doing that way before zeppelin arrived and hovered up the plaudits for the powerful live sound, the who and Pete particularly were irked with that and they didn't have to steal the yardbirds live show to get started either!
It is easily forgotten now in the 21st century just how influential and powerful these guys were. They were at rightly ranked alongside the Stones as inheritors of the Beatles mantle. The world will never see their like again
I'm not a musician, but I know that the progressive increase in tempo without everyone losing it and crashing is NOT easy. Master musicians all of them.
The reason for pete being irked over the years about the ott stuff written about led zeppelin, as great as zep were and the phenomenal impact they had the who were doing the stuff zeppelin were being credited for long before them and better imop, zep were show ponies compared to the tight powerful live brilliance of the who.
Absolutely correct. I was 17 years old in 1989 and had been a rabid Who fan since I was 10. I had all their albums, vhs tapes lol and my room was plastered with Who posters and cut out pics from magazines. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the 1989 Tommy tour at Carter Finley Stadium in North Carolina. I remember walking out of the stadium after the show and thinking to myself…. I get it now. I understand why they’re the greatest live band of all time. I thought I understood before but until you’ve witnessed it for yourself it’s hard to describe. 72,000 people singing along with Pete in the break during Baba O’Riley and my goosebumps had goosebumps. Who songs were meant to be played live in front of an audience. Pete wrote rock anthems that can only be truly appreciated live at an incredible volume. They were an awesome studio band but live they were legends. Just out of this world.
@@johndardi1334Your story~ description gave me chills! So very lucky & wish I’d tried to see them perform, a major regret. Thank goodness for these vids
The who were the first concert I saw, it was fourth grade must’ve been around 07’ or 08’, changed my life forever, to this day the most powerful and enticing live band I have ever seen
The only band ever that managed to fuse the exiting improvisational side of jazz with the raw agressivness of rock. And for that matter, the dramatic beauty of really great classical music. Like Verdi..
Your comment seems a bit out of Focus... ua-cam.com/video/-YRzPluIPfg/v-deo.html ( Edit: If you like it more jazzy: ua-cam.com/video/pI7t-tAQx7c/v-deo.html )
This performance is what sparked my lifelong interest in music. The who are so cool they don't even seem like real people, only fictional characters have this kind of animal magnetism
Electrifying and exciting. I'm sure the fans thought that in the 60s too. The drive and intensity is out of this world. The Who loved their rock and roll.
Finally saw them live- just before John Entwistle died- and they did Quadrophenia live: with film projections on a big screen. Unbeleavible concert and fantastic performance.
@@ronfisher5259 My brother saw that tour. I missed it but I saw them in 1989 the Tommy show. It was a little different but The Who nonetheless. Best show I’ve ever seen in my life and the loudest with the clearest sound. Un freakin real
@@lordoid I watched before, this particular version has the band more in sync together. It was funny watch how great they were at the Isle of wight thinking after no band could match that but then the doors come on and are just as good but with a totally different energy and sound. So many great bands and diverse back then without the need for lables
Jerry Garcia once said even when they were frying so hard they couldn't speak, the Dead could always communicate through their instruments. Some kind of hive mind. The Who played so many gigs together they had a real sixth sense.
I wanted to go. I had a babysitter for my 18-month-old baby but my 53 Chevy had a cracked block- my two friends and I figured it would take us over 100 quarts of oil to get there and back from Denver and we chickened out.
In terms of "live" music, for me this was the peak. This five minutes. It was never as good from anyone else and it would never peak like this again. And never will. It's like they were possessed for this brief moment in time.
The first time I heard this was when my uncle wasin the Vietnam war and he'd send us music that they got first ,so it's a whole lot of great memories he made it home ,.
I want this blasting on repeat from a 1000W amp mounted on a raft piled high with blazing driftwood and a box with my ashes, on an outgoing tide... I've been blessed to have enjoyed my youth tuned in to Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Rod Stewart, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, CSN&Y, Santana, Iron Butterfly, Elton John, Carole King, Black Sabbath, Creedence, The Bee Gees, Deep Purple, The Beatles, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, Golden Earring, Steppenwolf, Rare Earth, Badfinger, Leonard Cohen, Peter Frampton, Hawkwind, Status Quo, The Doors, Bad Company, Tina Turner, Ten Years After, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, Cher, ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, The Zombies, The Byrds, The Everly Brothers, Donovan, Shirley Bassey & The Supremes, The Animals, Pink Floyd..... but THIS track..... it hits a nerve deep in my reptilian brain and moves me like no other. Peace and love to all. ☮☮❤❤
No one could touch them live. The songs Pete wrote were meat to be played live in front of an audience. He wrote rock anthems. In my opinion The Who was and still is the greatest live band in the history of rock music. Zeppelin were great. The Stones were great. But neither could touch The Who in their prime.
Yes, I rather agree with that Pamela. I'm curious as to how, that being one John Entwhistle, acquired his nickname "The Ox." Very unique one at that.@@PamelaKilburn-c3w
My friend, Christopher Delgado, who owned an incredible Boutique on Sunset Strip, made the white rawhide fringed jacket the Roger Daltry was wearing. Chris was Native American, not sure what tribe, his parents were both actors and Chris was an Extra in Little Big Man, he grew up around the famous and wealthy, he grew up in the same neighborhood as his friends, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. We met him in 1971, he was my best friend’s boyfriend at that time. I was starstruck, coz I love the Who, and had a picture of Roger Daltry in that jacket onstage at Woodstock over my bed at 14-19 years old.

Ladies and gentlemen...boys and girls.........this is rock music at its very, very best.....
Amen sir. 🤘🏻
Nothing to add your comment is the fuckin true!! The Who great amazing band!
Amen brother
Truth! RIP Moonie and John Entwhistle
Yes I agree, with led zep too 😅
A Gibson SG with P90's, through a Hiwatt stack and played by angry Pete Townshend is a glorious thing.
A great all round guitarist.. Alice Cooper said on tracks of my years with Ken Bruce that Pete was his favourite live guitarist
the 100-Watt Hiwatt's heads Pete Townsend and Jim Marshall created so Pete could keep up with the sheer volume Moon and Entwistle made, it was Pete Townsend who created Heavy Metal, without the 100- Watt Head Heavy Metal would have perhaps never happened, or would have been a little later in rock's evolution, Blue Cheer , the Detroit Sence, Psychedelic Garage Era Bands, the British Blues Era, Yardbirds, Kinks, even the Troggs " Wild Thing " not forgetting Eddie Phillips and the Creation then they had bigger amps and loudness happened, but to say the song Helter Skelter created Metal is a joke it's was Clapton and Page playing guitar on that song Vic Flick, but it wasn't Harrison or Lennon sorry they were hacks look at the guitars they played really Lennon played crap guitars

Abbie Hoffman wouldn’t agree, an angry Pete whacked him round the back of his head with it.
Yeah angry Pete I believe he smacked Abbie Hoffman in the back of the head and knocked him unconscious during this performance 😅
Magical moments,no computers,no autotune,pure musicianship! ❤❤❤❤
and some of the current times dope.Townshend can't see 3 feet far.
Muscians at their peek it doesn’t get any better.
Yes we remember those days 😅✊👍
I was 15 years old, when this great song appeared. Today, aged 69, It still gets me rocking. It always will.
I was 11 and just blew a dube and fell quadraphonic exney
Roger said the sun was rising during this song. He said they couldn’t ask for a better light show. Could you imagine seeing this epic performance and the sun coming up right at the end of Tommy? Damn…
Wish I had been there. If I had been a little older, I would have.
Ironically enough, the Tommy film gave us that.

greatest live band on the planet. They will be watching this 100 years from now..

They better will

It begins and ends with the WHO!!! Greatest band of their generation and it’s not even close! As good as the Beatles were and the stones they can’t touch the WHO!!!!
Beautiful 🎶 🎶 🎵 ⏹️
This is hands down the definition of real rockstars!
I was thinking the exact same thing.
I agree. I remember seeing Tommy back In 1975 or 1976.
MY ERA!!!!!!!
Daltrey was the definition of 'hot'. They all were. 💕
Well this performance made the Who, "money fell from the sky" is Pete's description of the Who's success Woodstock/ Tommy period.
I count myself fortunate simply to have been alive when this was performed
Englishmen knows how to rock and make great music
Chills every time I hear and/or see The Who play this. It is such a timeless rock song.
Timeless classic. Must have watched the Woodstock movie about 10 times. Couldn't get tired of it. Ran out of pocket money. I was still in primary school. This performance was the highlight for me👌👍🕺🕺🕺

Fantastic. A brilliant, well seasoned Rock band at their peak.

THIS IS WHAT I CALL ROCK AND ROLL
Compared to the boring crap put out now.

The Who gave an incredible performance at Woodstock
This is a true classic!
The best live performance I’ve ever seen. I don’t care what nobody says.
One of the best at Woodstock ...
Keith Moon what a drummer. What a shame he didn't stay with us longer.
He wanted to stay with us he was taking medicine to help him stop drinking. It's just back then nobody knew about addictive personality. And that's I think Keith had. He just kept taking the pills.

The light that burns twice as bright, burns twice as fast. Keith burned so very bright.
His contract was voided for his promises he ignored.
The slight increase in the beat is amazing!🤯

Give me chills just reading this!! Love the Who!!
YES !. A REAL ROCK GROUP. NONE OF THESE COMPUTERIZED CANDY ASS SO CALLED GROUPS OF NOWADAYS. THESE GUYS PLAYED INSTRUMENTS AND WROTE THEIR MUSIC. CLASS OF ROCKIN 84 HERE. ROCK ON GEN XERS!!.
This August 2024 will have been 55 years ago.Amazing.This was and still is rock and roll,and how it should sound and look.
With My Generation The Who turned my world upside down when I was in school. The 2nd time during Woodstock. Best time of my life looking back almost 55 years ago. Especially because of the music and the way of life.

I Will pay a fortune for a Time Machine to see this song at Woodstock live!
lol Got that right,
You are right
This song I feel is a mantra for anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, or feel deaf dumb and blind like Tommy!!!
It brings back wonderful memories from my chilhood. I was nine at the time. This song and The Who will always make me happy!!
It is easily forgotten now in the 21st century just how influential and powerful these guys were. They were at rightly ranked alongside the Stones as inheritors of the Beatles mantle. The world will never see their like again
Don't forget the Doors...!
So glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's... I remember seeing The Who in Miami in the early 70's. WOW!!!
Will anything ever be this good again?
Talking about time travel with some friends today and this came up on the algorithm.
If this doesn't move you, you are not human

As Sting said, the Who were four soloist forming a band
The harmony between Pete and Roger on those last two choruses. Just perfect.

If I could travel back in time and see any band in their prime it would have to be The Who
Still gets me high at 63...
I've recently held that very Gibson SG now owned by a friend, given to or rather swapped with him by Pete Townshend 40 years ago. Incredible...
Meanwhile, John Entwistle is in his 10 inches square making a wall of sound 🤩😍 RIP master 😪
And providing excellent harmony vocals too!😎
No auto tune, no twerking, just real raw musical talent!
Jesus, this brings bsck memories this still blows me away and im 69

Man, the sound from Pete's SG Gibson at 3.10 just takes you to another place.
Still as fantastic as it was when I first heard it in my teens!
The only band ever that managed to fuse the exiting improvisational side of jazz with the raw agressivness of rock. And for that matter, the dramatic beauty of really great classical music. Like Verdi..
Well, there is many glorious, super-awesome bands, but they sure are way-way up there.
(Jethro Tull, BlackSabbatth, Genesis, Whatever).

But no band on earth can top this performance.
You're absolutely right this is phenomenal.

nothing jazz about it. its a mantra...the who are in many ways antithetical to jazz...
Check out live Cream
In the context of Woodstock, this song is even more awesome, and it gives me hope in these challenging times (2022).
Actually gets me through these challenging times
We're lucky (that) there's a fair bit of very good footage of the Who in this particular stage of their career, late 69 to 72. It's often on UA-cam.
One of the greatest live Rock performences ever 💪👏👏
At 5:30 in the morning... what a wake up alarm.😂😂
I have always been a Who fan but when this album came out it was mind blowing I`ll never forget that feeling and still get it today 😎l

Electrifying and exciting. I'm sure the fans thought that in the 60s too. The drive and intensity is out of this world. The Who loved their rock and roll.

Seen 3 times live - when this came on it's buckle up time, you're going for a ride !!!

Saw them live four times and still can’t enough of them. This is pure rock n roll by leaps and bounds!
its a damn good quality recording, you can make out Pete and Rogers voices perfectly
Beautiful and outstanding performance By The Who in Woodstock........
There will never be great bands like the Who it was a special time in human history.
Holy Moly the INCREDIBLE INTENSITY!!! The Who at their ZENITH!!! I GOT DUCK BUMPS😂😂😂
One of the best bands I ever saw - last time in 2007 in Antwerp. Awsome.
Best rock band ever hands down.
I totally agree with you there 0:43
Undeniable really ❤🤘🎸🔥🔥👏🏻
I love them! 🤩
My god so much emotion
Without a doubt the look, the sound, the music all came together during this period.
The guitar tone is the greatest
Momentos gloriosos del rock..... impresionante
Que energía para tocar🤯🙌🙌🙌
In terms of "live" music, for me this was the peak. This five minutes. It was never as good from anyone else and it would never peak like this again. And never will. It's like they were possessed for this brief moment in time.
Rock Opera like no other's Tommy is so awesome The Who are Kings road less Traveled 🌹🌹🌹❣️📸🌈🌈🌈
GREAT BAND!
A time such as that will never comeback. Glad I saw it all!!!
Tommy a timeless masterpiece
Shall never get used to it... Love it too much! Saw them live in Amsterdam 1972, almost feel dead!
The first time I heard this was when my uncle wasin the Vietnam war and he'd send us music that they got first ,so it's a whole lot of great memories he made it home ,.
I want this blasting on repeat from a 1000W amp mounted on a raft piled high with blazing driftwood and a box with my ashes, on an outgoing tide... I've been blessed to have enjoyed my youth tuned in to Led Zeppelin, Cream, The Stones, Grand Funk Railroad, Jethro Tull, Uriah Heep, Rod Stewart, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, CSN&Y, Santana, Iron Butterfly, Elton John, Carole King, Black Sabbath, Creedence, The Bee Gees, Deep Purple, The Beatles, Elvis, Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin, Cat Stevens, Simon & Garfunkel, Golden Earring, Steppenwolf, Rare Earth, Badfinger, Leonard Cohen, Peter Frampton, Hawkwind, Status Quo, The Doors, Bad Company, Tina Turner, Ten Years After, Tom Jones, Engelbert Humperdinck, Cher, ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, The Zombies, The Byrds, The Everly Brothers, Donovan, Shirley Bassey & The Supremes, The Animals, Pink Floyd..... but THIS track..... it hits a nerve deep in my reptilian brain and moves me like no other. Peace and love to all. ☮☮❤❤
Goosebumps as always. The Who were the greatest. Power unlimited. Maximum R&B.
No one could touch them live. The songs Pete wrote were meat to be played live in front of an audience. He wrote rock anthems. In my opinion The Who was and still is the greatest live band in the history of rock music. Zeppelin were great. The Stones were great. But neither could touch The Who in their prime.
Awesome; I get the chills...
LEGENDARY ! Best live performance , Bravo !
What a great old memory!!! Thank you for posting! 🎉🎉🎉
What a fantastic song - voice , and musicians ! A bitchin song ! The Who is what rock is about ! Love them !
Pete is the tastiest lead player ....basically right there with Clapton...hendrix...
The WHO is all lead musicians...Moon is a front row drummer, just as The OX, IS A bass playing front line
Lmfao he couldn't play a lead to save his life you're on crack lady
Yes, I rather agree with that Pamela. I'm curious as to how, that being one John Entwhistle, acquired his nickname "The Ox." Very unique one at that.@@PamelaKilburn-c3w
Frigging awesome. Center of the soul of rock & roll....put this video in a time capsule....
Good times, good days. And I was only 10 years old. Only much later did I go about woodstok. The Who forever.
My friend, Christopher Delgado, who owned an incredible Boutique on Sunset Strip, made the white rawhide fringed jacket the Roger Daltry was wearing. Chris was Native American, not sure what tribe, his parents were both actors and Chris was an Extra in Little Big Man, he grew up around the famous and wealthy, he grew up in the same neighborhood as his friends, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper. We met him in 1971, he was my best friend’s boyfriend at that time. I was starstruck, coz I love the Who, and had a picture of Roger Daltry in that jacket onstage at Woodstock over my bed at 14-19 years old.
