Stacey the new drummer is Kenney Jones who was in a band called The Faces with Ronnie Wood (who later joined the Rolling Stones) and Rod Stewart their song "Stay with Me" would be great for you to react to, I'm sure you'd love it, one of my all time favourite songs.
I was just going to Post to Stacey to listen to The Small Faces or The Faces or Rod Stewart and the Faces. Id start with Miss Judy's farm from a "Nods as Good as a Wink" album. Contemporaries of The Who in the 60's
When the album version hit the airwaves it kinda shocked everyone in a good way. The sound was just so different and it sounded so crisp. Love your reactions. ❤
In the song, Townshend sings about the delusions and drug use of the wealthy and hedonistic. The lyrics describe a party in which people hide from their problems behind a façade.
@taylortyler1867 Always thought this was a song by Joe Cocker or a like band. Never knew it was The Who. Like you, never was a fan. Love the song. Learn something new every day.
Roger was a guitarrist before joining The Who. Although no one could replace Keith, the best I've seen them with is Zak Starkey (The son of Beatle Ringo Starr), who is the current drummer and has been for many years,
👍🏼 A great example of his horn playing is at the beginning of “When I was a boy”, an awesome song of his where he also sings lead. Great lyrics, kinda dark, like those in “Time” by Pink Floyd. “The Quiet One” is another.
Keith passed in 1978. The new drummer was Kenny Jones who established in a different band. There's some songs in their catalogue where Pete is on lead vocals. this is one
And, sadly, if Keith had survived the 70s, he'd probably have been killed by the 80s, where things got really bad. He would probably have been the primary revenue stream for a couple of major cartels.
Two more great Who songs for you to check out that are VERY different: “Love Reign O’er Me”, which is insanely powerful and has an intense, booming quality, and “You Better You Bet”, which is fun, hilarious, and just a total great time. You can’t listen to it and not smile from ear to ear.
The got a big ole 55 gallon drum of pure FUNK, opened it up and poured it out. THIS is what came slithering out!! My fav Who song of all time, second is Reign on Me!
Yes, nice post Keith Moon WHO, this was a big hit for them. Do the studio Love Reign O'er Me next, it will be very intense and emotional for your Rock and Roll Soul. Enjoy! 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶🔥
Hey, Stacey. For your listening pleasure these songs are for you. THE REAL ME, LONG LIVE ROCK, BEHIND BLUES EYES, SQUEEZE BOX, and LOVE REIGN O'ER ME. It's always great to watch react to music that has been the backbone of many of our lives. Just see the appreciation it still has for a new generation. Don't worry about not knowing the correct terms. Just pick them up from the comments and add them to your musical knowledge. You're a beautiful woman. The advantage is yours. Keep going and enjoy the music.
I saw this tour in Toronto back to back nights. I also saw them prior to this tour in Toronto as well. When The Who signed their record contract, every band member had to write and sing on the album.
To experience a little more of John, you have to check out "My Generation". It has probably his most iconic bass line. And, well, the end is not to be missed.
This album came out in the 80s right as video games were going mainstream. Hence the game arcade on the It’s Hard album cover. Daltrey also had a half decent solo album called Under A Raging Moon.
I think of Pete as the group's brain. He wrote their songs. But I think of Keith as their raucous soul. I think Pete never got over the loss of Keith. My feeling, and it's just my opinion, The Who died when Keith died. They put out some good songs, nothing like before, but eventually, Pete was destined to go solo, and he did. Btw, Roger was Pete's biggest fan, defending Pete against critics. John was the musical master of the group. All of them were good musicians, but John was a master of his instrument.
Great reaction of next generation WHO in concert! Still considering dressing up as Keith Moon for Halloween? Duct tape a pair of headphones to your head, and you're there:)
Fantastic song, fantastic lyrics, fantastic bass line, that, if the rumors are true, was originally improvised for while recording in the studio. Also great how they arranged it with the plot within the movie version of "Quadrophenia".
Yah, when you said wanted to see more of Pete's vocal & keyboard work, I knew you'd love this one. This is Pete's sort of rock-jazz-fusion piece, with his keyboard & riffs in the studio, which is why it has that more chill, funkier vibe, because that was the intent. The Who could still rock out at this point -- although Pete's cardiologist had told him to settle it down a bit and not throw himself all over the stage windmilling the guitar etc so much. Emminence Front was a more smooth techno piece by design. It has more in common with modern jozz greats like Al di Meola, Stanley Clarke, Steve Gadd, Chick Corea, Jan Hammer, and the like. If you would like a real eye-opener on this genre, check out the live version of Al di Meola's "Race With The Devil On A Spanish Highway" (from the Tour de Force live album) with all-star jazz players. It's all the instruments of a rock band, but with a different overall effect (and Al's obscenely amazing guitar riffs). If you find that more latin/jazz sound appealing, check out "Elegant Gypsy Suite" "The Wizard" "Land of the Midnight Sun" and "Mediterranean Suncance" for example.
Do yourself a favor and check out Townshend’s solo album All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, and in particular, the track “Slit Skirts”. Incredible stuff, and yet another side of Pete.
This is a great song by the Who 2.0 (after Moonie). You are so insightful because they WERE different with Kenny Jones on drums but they still managed to add some songs to their greatest hits catalog. If you like Pete's singing you will love one of their best songs of all time Behind Blue Eyes sung by, and very heartfelt written by Pete (done by the original Who).
You are right. The Who were never the same band without Keith. I saw them live at the Oakland Coliseum in 1976. Up until the first time I saw Bruce springsteen, this was the best live show I'd ever been to. The Who were everything that you would imagine and they played for 3 hours+ and they did the majority of their great songs. I was a drummer so my idols were Ringo and Keith. The Grateful Dead opened up for them, which I thought the promoter made a huge mistake because they are two different types of bands. It was the first time I had seen both bands but growing up in Northern California I was well aware of the Deadhead mystique. However, I think I might have been one of the few people who showed up in a leather jacket instead of a tie dye. lol. I know Deadheads won't be happy reading this but sitting through 3 and 1/2 hours of a band, that you were only okay with, waiting to see the greatest live rock band that ever existed, was very excruciating to this very fanatical Who fan. lol. Now, I have seen the Dead a few times after that and I really like them, just not opening for The Who. LOL. My roommate was a Deadhead though so that made it a little better.
One of the best live versions of a great song that I have heard on an RVC . It is live, ain't it? I mean, it sounds live, but then it doesn't. Great performance by The Who, and reaction by the host.
Roger Daltrey starred in a movie called McVicar in 1980. His hair was likely cut short for that role, plus the band wanted to move with the times, especially after grieving losing Keith Moon in 1978.
Honorable mentions Jethro Tull /Locomotive Breath Rockpop 1982 . John Farnham / Your the Voice with Melbourne Orchestra . Foo Fighters / The Best of You Wembley London
Terrific review and you're experiencing what us older folks transitioned through when Kenny Jones was tapped to move onto the kit after Keith's demise. But he killed it when this album came out. Love this song, always.
The intro riff to this song is one of the top riffs and most recognizable of all rock and roll history. In order to get the full depth of coolness you really need to listen to the studio version of the song...also it would be helpful if you are able to see the lyrics to the song as it plays.
Hello Stacey! I have 2 recommendations for you that are both fine pieces of art! 1st being - Santana - Soul Sacrifice 1969 Woodstock live concierto HQ 6:17. 2nd being - Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover - Live 6:11. I like your taste and appreciation of great music and think you will love these!
You might also want to try a singer/songwriters/folk. John Denver -Rocky Mountain High, Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman, Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone & Shelter from the storm, Paul Simon - Mrs Robinson, the Boxer, Late in the Evening, You can call me Al, Diamonds on the soles of her shoes. Gordon Lightfoot - Sundown & Weeck of the Edmond Fitzgerald. James Taylor , Jackson Browne(?)
"The Real Me" and "Love Reign O'er Me" are probably my favorite Who tracks of all time. Both from the amazing concept album "Quadrophenia", that had a movie adaption by them, that is also fantastic (with Sting as an actor!). Absolute masterpieces.
Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon for two albums. Eventually Zac Starkey, Ringo Starr's kid, became their drummer. He's really good! Rabbit Bundrick played keyboard for them for years whenever they toured.
Townsend is such a smart composer. Lyrically, this track is such an accurate statement for the decade of the 80's.
Having lived through the most the sixties, seventies, eighties, nineties, 2000's etc... I feel the lyric covers them all. ;-)
The Who---Love Reign o'er Me--the best
She might like Happy Jack though
Yes indeed !
Happy Jack!
Or The real me. Also from Quadraphenia
@Sparky-xe9hu Indeed !

The Faces were my fav with so much talent They made Rod Stuart
"The Real Me" Entwistle's bass playing goes off the hook.
Entwistle, was nicknamed " Thunder Fingers".
The Ox...

In the song, Townshend sings about the delusions and drug use of the wealthy and hedonistic. The lyrics describe a party in which people hide from their problems behind a façade.
Honestly The Who's best tune imo... What an absolute groove. Awesome choice Stacey!
It's actually the only song I like by them.

@GeekingOutWithPete Simon Phillips is a very proficient and technical drummer. Played Tommy in concert very well.
They got their hair cut shorter back in the early 1980s when this album was released. That's Kenny Jones on drums.
John Entwistle also played the French horn. He has a great song called My Wife on which he sings.
👍🏼 A great example of his horn playing is at the beginning of “When I was a boy”, an awesome song of his where he also sings lead. Great lyrics, kinda dark, like those in “Time” by Pink Floyd. “The Quiet One” is another.
I was at that concert....5th row floors....ELETRIC
.." The Kids Are Alright" documentary is a special look at The WHO thru the years. Worth a watch.
This is my favorite intro of ANY song! The Who were masters of the intro.
One of my all time favorite Who songs. John has always been the "Holy Ghost" of my bass playing trinity.
David Gilmour played guitar on one of Pete's solo albums. Check out the live video of the song Give Blood with Gilmour. It's excellent!
White City album is brilliant.
Face the face is a huge banger from that album.
Keith passed in 1978.
The new drummer was Kenny Jones who established in a different band.
There's some songs in their catalogue where Pete is on lead vocals. this is one
Keyboard player is Rabbit
@@csphoenix9 John "Rabbit" Bundrick
And, sadly, if Keith had survived the 70s, he'd probably have been killed by the 80s, where things got really bad. He would probably have been the primary revenue stream for a couple of major cartels.

With Halloween not far off, The Who's " Boris the Spider", is a good one to check out
With John on lead vocal.
Was fortunate enough to see The Who twice back in the day ... great shows!! 👍👍

I was at the September show. Joe Jackson got booed off the stage after being hit by a thrown hot dog.
I know this is a hot take, but this is one of my favorite songs from The Who. I always crank it up!

Sir John Entwistle was a BIG influence on my bass playing!!!
Same here!
Along with Boost Collins, Larry Graham Jr, Chris Squire and Geddy Lee!
Bootsy... not Boost. I hate autocorrect

The drummer was a full-time member named Kenny Jones. He had been in other bands like The Faces (w/ Rod Stewart and a pre-Stones Ron Wood).
Pete murdered that guitar solo. He's so underrated
love reign o'er me greatest Who song ever, the last song on the album Quadrophenia written and composed by pete townshend
Saw The Who in '82....they were absolutely amazing!
They were crazy good. So much energy, yes, unfortunately, Keith had passed. Al so talented
“The Real Me” is John Entwistle at his best…it’s always in the conversation when people talk about the best bass playing off all time.
Fantastic song, fantastic lyrics, fantastic bass line, that, if the rumors are true, was originally improvised for while recording in the studio.
Also great how they arranged it with the plot within the movie version of "Quadrophenia".
The WHO is the first band I ever saw in 1980. At Madison Square gardens, New York.
Roger is playing guitar next to John Entwestle, John one one of best bassist in the World
My favorite Who song. And your reaction is always entertaining.
I saw this tour, definitely in my top five concerts I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a bunch.
What an excellent choice from The Who's catalogue!
Toronto 1982....The concert was 1 hell of a great time.
Yes Pete...we knew exactly what ya meant..lol.
Yah, when you said wanted to see more of Pete's vocal & keyboard work, I knew you'd love this one. This is Pete's sort of rock-jazz-fusion piece, with his keyboard & riffs in the studio, which is why it has that more chill, funkier vibe, because that was the intent.

When I was a teen in the 80s I so wanted that Roger Daltry hair cut lol.
Do yourself a favor and check out Townshend’s solo album All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes, and in particular, the track “Slit Skirts”. Incredible stuff, and yet another side of Pete.

This is a great song by the Who 2.0 (after Moonie). You are so insightful because they WERE different with Kenny Jones on drums but they still managed to add some songs to their greatest hits catalog.
If you like Pete's singing you will love one of their best songs of all time Behind Blue Eyes sung by, and very heartfelt written by Pete (done by the original Who).
The Who's version of Behind Blue Eyes is sung by Roger, but Pete's demo is very good too
One of the greatest grooves that you can't help bop to
It's Kenney Jones of the 'Small Faces' on drums.

It is live, ain't it? I mean, it sounds live, but then it doesn't. Great performance by The Who, and reaction by the host.
My fav by the Who. So dang funky!!
my best friend and i hitch hiked to see this show at u Maine via Satellite from Toronto 82....it was their final show of their farewell tour
As a bass player may I make a suggestion? Since you said you like John's bass...GOT to review, "The Real Me" (studio version)! 🎸
Roger Daltrey starred in a movie called McVicar in 1980. His hair was likely cut short for that role, plus the band wanted to move with the times, especially after grieving losing Keith Moon in 1978.
Next up, The Who - Roadrunner & MY Generation (blues version), Live at the Pontiac Dome in 1975.
It’s totally forgivable to not immediately recognize Roger without his long luxurious locks.
When The Moon set sadly so did the GREATEST R&R band ever . Long Live Rock
5.15 Superb Track From Quadrophenia Album Also From The Album Who's Next,The Song Is Over And Behind Blue Eyes x
Love seeing people react and enjoy Rock n Roll. Enjoy Stacey.
Agreed! " Love Reign O'er Me", is another song by The Who you definitely need to give a listen. You'll love it, Stacey!
Moon’s passing was a blow to the band, but to their credit they carried on and still made great music!!
Honorable mentions Jethro Tull /Locomotive Breath Rockpop 1982 . John Farnham / Your the Voice with Melbourne Orchestra . Foo Fighters / The Best of You Wembley London
Also check out the live version of David Gilmore and Pete doing Give Blood 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love your reactions to The Who. Please keep going with this great band!
My favorite song by The Who!!!
Stacey, if you want to see Roger with short hair BEFORE it got long, check out a clip from 1966 of them performing "So Sad About Us".
My fav part was at 7:49 when you said ‘I love this song’. You bring so much joy.
I’m glad you got a sponsor
You are very positive influence on the Internet
Keep up the great work, Stacy 🙂

They are SO good live ! Saw them, back in early 2000's. Robert Plant opened !
Fast forward to 1992 to Freddie Mercury tribute concert and you will see his long hair is back….The song is I want it all..🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️✌🏼 from California
Hello Stacey! I have 2 recommendations for you that are both fine pieces of art! 1st being - Santana - Soul Sacrifice 1969 Woodstock live concierto HQ 6:17. 2nd being - Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover - Live 6:11. I like your taste and appreciation of great music and think you will love these!
The Who, "Bargain" is amazing.
Pete and John were nerds in school . Local tough guy Roger took them under his wing and protected them.
That is the story of The Who.
I’ve never been a Who fan but this song is amazing! My favorite by them.
Remember this is the 80’s , it was different
My favorite Who song.
This is one of the few songs where Daltrey plays guitar, it gives him something to do as Pete takes the lead vocal lol
You might also want to try a singer/songwriters/folk. John Denver -Rocky Mountain High, Glen Campbell - Wichita Lineman, Bob Dylan Like a Rolling Stone & Shelter from the storm, Paul Simon - Mrs Robinson, the Boxer, Late in the Evening, You can call me Al, Diamonds on the soles of her shoes.

Both from the amazing concept album "Quadrophenia", that had a movie adaption by them, that is also fantastic (with Sting as an actor!). Absolute masterpieces.
The only other song I can think of that truly embodies the early 80s as well as this one does is Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant.
ok, who has already been vibing to this song during Stacy's intro? :D
Kenny Jones replaced Keith Moon for two albums. Eventually Zac Starkey, Ringo Starr's kid, became their drummer. He's really good! Rabbit Bundrick played keyboard for them for years whenever they toured.
This song defined the 80s.
The Who- Tommy/ Pinball Wizard- Rock Opera
From Phil Collins to Who's eminence front, both epic lives from the greatest decade, hehe .. cA
I'm not a massive The Who fan but i do love this song and Love reign o'er me.
My heart beats for you Stacey. ❤️❤️❤️
They hardly show Entwhistle. But all the way through, this song is a Bass masterpiece.
I love how you react to and love great music and Artists. What happened to Roger’s hair was the eighties.
So much talent in this band, even with the loss of Mr. Moon. ☮
John killin it on this one.
This was mostly a Pete song and Roger was a big fan of Pete so it worked out very well. Even danceable.
I love this song, but I've always wondered how much better it would have been had Mooney been around to go crazy on the drums.
Oh, Good one!! I call this one our current national anthem here in the US. lol..When concerts were CONCERTS!
Yes,you're right. Mooney died in 1978. Kenney Jones tried to replace for him but the Who needed a diffrent kind of a drummer.
It's an absolute groove!
