Hi Fellas, To assist your understanding of the genesis of Who’s Next, it was originally supposed to be called “Lifehouse”, another rock opera concept record like Tommy. But Pete couldn’t get it together to complete the story, so Who’s Next was made up of songs from the Lifehouse project.
There’s a whole Lambert/Stamp documentary.. stamp (the guy talking) is the brother of actor Terence Stamp aka General Zod from Superman 2 amongst others ..
I introduced my brother to you guys reactions a little over a year ago.... he really enjoyed them... He felt bad in early October and I dropped him at the hospital expecting him to come home later that night like he always did... this time they kept him and hes never coming home.... He passed on October 21st.. he hated November...
You need to watch the video on how Pete hung out at the shop where they ended up making the Marshall Amps. He was the guiding force on the amps that changed rock early on. So many layers to the guy.
Pete (like Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, or Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters) would multitrack demo almost the whole album - BEFORE the group would record the album. Very few would actually record everything for the album by themselves (Prince, Dave Grohl on his first Foo album, and Paul McCartney, plus a few others). Yes, Managers back then were like another member of the group.
The actual Yardbirds story in that Beck's Bolero was recorded with Jeff Beck on lead, Jimmy Page on rhythm (immediately after his departure from the Yardbirds when Led Zeppelin was still being floated as The New Yardbirds), Keith Moon on drums, and John Paul Jones on Bass. This was almost the Zeppelin lineup, which is what makes that particular recording important in Rock lore.
@@jimmoore8951 Like just once somewhere I read that John Entwistle was considered for bass! Like I said just an article I must have read and never saw it referenced anywhere else, but holy shit. Rock history was almost very different by just an alt mix of a select few musicians.
2 days into a trip to UK, was walking down a sidewalk when the nicest Benz sports car I ever saw was attempting to pull into this condo entrance. I figured "they could wait 5 seconds", when I suddenly saw the profile of the driver. It hit me like lightning shun I realized it was Pete. I stopped dead in my tracks and faced him. I instantly smiled and waved as I slowly walked backwards to let him in. He kinda chuckled, and waved as he drove away. 20 yrs ago but remember it like yesterday. Thx for watching this realizing he was the composer.
Great reaction, these behind the scenes videos are fantastic, shows y’all really want to understand the classic rock era. I’m 63 and have seen The Who six times, my first Who concert was in ’74 and the last time was in 2019. Of course, sadly, only Pete and Roger remain from the original group but, they still sound fantastic live!
Pure and easy. One of my alltime favorit records by The Who. This was a little part of the song,Pete on the piano. But the whole thing is just awesom. Great melody. Thanks guys, one more super reaction. 💪👍😁
Pete and The Who started as the punk of 1964, 10+ years before there was punk. And they only skyrocketed from there. And to be clear, Pete's Lifehouse idea was The Matrix long before there was a Matrix. The man was prescient.
All the keyboards you hear in songs like Baba O'Reilly and Won't Get Fooled Again were programmed by Pete Townshend. He is an amazing musician and songwriter
Hey guys so glad you are getting around to doing this documentary I’m a big fan of the WHO and WHOS NEXT is my favorite album by them i’m so excited for y’all to see this one because I know you’re really going to appreciate it not only from the musical standpoint but from a producers standpoint I think one of the things you’re really going to take away from this is an appreciation of the Absolute musical genius and mind of Pete Townshend y’all gonna really like this one and oh by the way I was very saddened today to hear about the passing of one of the greatest and most influential producers of our time Mr. Quincy Jones talk about leaving your mark on the world of music Quincy Jones did that and much more anyway as usual y’all do such a great job and I appreciate how open minded y’all are to all this classic music I think all great producers were all open minded people when it came to music and I certainly appreciate y’all for what you do and one last thing give your dad a big ole ROLL TIDE! from RB King down here in sweet home Alabama!😎✌️
You MUST listen to "Who Came First", a Pete Townshend solo album that fulfills much of what he was trying to do with Lighthouse. An epic spiritual journey, along the lines of George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass".
Lighthouse ,which became Who’s Next, was an entirely different character than the Tommy character. Pete wrote and made complete demos and brought them to the band, then they recorded the songs with the band. Entwhistle and Moon would use the demo as a jump off point. Pete released a lot of his demos on the record called Scoop.
If you get a chance watch the lambert and stamp documentary. The managers were as out of control as the band. It’s a fantastic story. You start to realise that behind a great band is a great manager
Lifehouse was not about Tommy again. It was about a character who was essentially also deaf dumb snd blind, but in a different way. And I don't think he meant a busines suit. Moon was never in The Yardbirds.
Che is misremembering the Zeppelin behind the music episode where they briefly mention how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page (both in the Yardbirds), JP Jones, and Keith Moon booked a one-time session that led nowhere, the one where Moon allegedly said the band would sink like a lead balloon.
Moon and Entwhistle were going to quit The Who and join Jimmy Page in the "New Yardbirds" which was to become Led Zeppelin. It was Moon who supposedly came up with the name "Led Zeppelin", but it never happened....

Even one of Pete’s ‘failures’ turned out to be epic
One of the best albums ever. Pete’s a freaking genius.
One of the all time greatest albums.

These reactions to documentaries are expanding my knowledge. Thank you. 💜💜💜

Great Rock Band Ever

I love Pete's voice. You will love his solo material. All of his albums are bangers.
I have to admit listening to Pete’s solo work makes me miss Roger’s vocal ability

Thanks, I did not know this and have posted the link below
Can you imagine Moon being the drummer for Zepelin?

Yeah, gotta be in the top 10 greatest rock albums ever
Pete Townsend and Neil Piert from Rush were my favorite song writers.
Oh yeah Pete wrote most or all of the lyrics and music-genius!
This is great, love watching this stuff with you guys. Thank you!
That was all very interesting. Thank you for all the information guys. I love the.Who!

Quincy was my favorite producer. That one hit me hard. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
I will definitely hit my dad with a Roll Tide!! Thanks for rocking with us!!
Pete Townshend is a musical genius.

Jimmy Page played on I Can’t Explain Laa and Chee! Rythym guitar I believe.

Great video!
Wife here. Best Album period not a bad song on it .
Pete figured out people in the future on the internet and virtual reality addicted and trapped in it.
In 1969 before The Who released Tommy theywere $7,000,000 in debt. Tommy got them out of debt and more

Moon was never in The Yardbirds.
All the band had input. Pete may claim differently, but Like Fogerty , great composer but without their band less interesting
Moon was never in the Yardbirds
Wiki confirms.
Che is misremembering the Zeppelin behind the music episode where they briefly mention how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page (both in the Yardbirds), JP Jones, and Keith Moon booked a one-time session that led nowhere, the one where Moon allegedly said the band would sink like a lead balloon.
Moon and Entwhistle were going to quit The Who and join Jimmy Page in the "New Yardbirds" which was to become Led Zeppelin. It was Moon who supposedly came up with the name "Led Zeppelin", but it never happened....
