Played in a band that supported the Who twice .Keith moon borrowed our drummers set of Ludwig’s after a truck load of thei gear was stolen that day .Promised he would give it a good work out but not destroy it at the end.Our drummer had PTSD ( ha ha ) for a couple of hours after but was true to his word .Great guys .Pete destroyed a brand new Strat on same night,
Keith Moon is one unique drummer wow! He really was doing things that nobody was doing back then infact even now those fills rolls and phrases have so much feel soul, he absolutely carried the entire songs melody you could take John and Pete out of this track and you wouldn't miss them at all but when you combine Rogers singing with Keiths drumming it really is a beautiful and spectacular piece of music here. 😊❤️🔥
You are so right. Keith Moon took the drums from sitting in the back of the band. He kicked everything out of his way. And put the drums right in front of the band. Keith Moon is still and always will be the greatest drummer of all time.
You would not think Daltrey had a clue about singing when he was say 23 in 1967 but he was actually brilliant. And the point is this one of their greatest tracks never really featured on any significant Who LP or compilation. The.bsnd was so disorganized that their greatest tracks say naked eye or much of Pete's best writing in 1977-1983 was either badly recorded, appeared only on Townshend Solo's or abbreviated live cuts.
I love this era of tge who; pictures of lily, so sad about us, this song and anyway any how anywhere… it’s raw and beautiful at the same time. Post mod/randb, pre hippie freak out. Under rated two minute wonders.

How I miss this music. The greatest rock band ever with amazing stories/lyrics, beautiful singing, power without vulgarity and without resorting to cheap technical tricks, the best live show I've ever seen, and I've seen 'em ALL.
@@plinthley It started as a real human reaction to some of the frustrations and difficulties they faced. It evolved into a rather expensive🤭 technical trick as they had to keep on repairing and buying new equipment. Obviously the trick aspect of this became pretty obvious. What I meant by "cheap technical tricks" (perhaps badly articulated) was that they really played their instruments and sang their vocals (in perfect tune btw, and didn't rely on technically created visual effects to bolster the over all show as is much more prevalent today.
Too bad when he recorded his version of the song for "Two Sides of the Moon", he was too far gone to *really* give that drum break the attention it deserved.
falica77 He does that on purpose as a joke. Classic Moonie! He is makes fun of the fake drumming "thing". The other videos are even funnier than this one. Here he looks kinda serious.
@@falica77 they hated "miming" their songs for tv; a lot of the time Roger would sing live to the backing track or it was all lip sync; Roger picks his nose; Keith bashes drums for most of it then does a pretend drumming...
I was about 6 or 5 when this song came out. Damn my older brothers saw all these HOT bands in PERSON! I woulda gone CRAZY seeing them live! Keith Moon just blows me away!!!
When Jeff Stein and The Who, produced "The Kids are Alright" film, they did it with the límited material they had. Now in the internet era, hundreds of new materiales are available. This "Kids are Alright" versión is a longer studio versión
Personally I prefer this video of the song to the official one. I love the camera work here because it really focuses on the guys playing more than the faces and manages to zoom in exactly when Moon's drumming skills are heard the most making them glow all the more. Somehow I feel like I've heard an entirely different rendition of this song. :o Also, adorable seeing John Entwistle introduce the song
How did this escape radio playlists across America back in '66?! How do you not hear this and automatically proclaim, "We're putting this on the air NOW!" It's so strange how The Who missed 1965 and 1966 in America and then hit in '67 with "Happy Jack?"
He wrote my teenage life story! This song's special, because I did go away and left my GF with the crowd we hung out with. Sadly, it was my 'folks who wouldn't let us!'
POPSIDE Swedish TV WHO Special, recorded June 3 and broadcasted June 5, 1966 (as indicated on private DVD : Maximum Who - Early TV Performances 1965-67)...The rivalry between band members is obvious here as you see Roger, the Shepherd's Bush geezer, coming up with the mike to John and the Quiet One says : "Keep it away!" telling Roger to stay away from him while he attempts to be spokesman for the band just this once, ushersing a few words between his teeth to introduce the next song : "Hullo, I'm John... Next number is... Kids! is alright" and Roger applauds loudly, caughing to stop himself from larfing out loud, while John thumbs him to remain down, and Moon slaps his sticks applauding too in sarcastic support. Right after, during the song start, Roger turns to John singin' : "... That's Fine..." signaling it was ok, relax dude... Must've been fights backstage! (lol)
Sometime in the early '70s (I believe) one of Pete's assistants (could have been a manager) asked him what Pete wanted him to do with a bunch of film and live recordingsfrom the '60s that were building up. He kept bugging Pete about it, and Pete finally said,"Oh, just take it out and burn the lot." And he DID! Pete-- in his autobiography-- said that was one of the big mistakes of his life.
No, not really. The Who taped mostly every show on their US tour in the fall of 1969, for a future live album. Pete had no desire to go thru hours and hours of shows,so he supposedly told soundman Bobby Pridden to burn all the tapes. They would just tape their Feb 1970 concerts at Leeds and Hull, and get the record from there. Live At Leeds has since been named the greatest live rock record by many rock fans. As for the tapes: Bobby and Pete insist they were burned. However, parts of over a dozen of those shows have turned up as bootlegs. So, the burning story is highly suspect.
@@edmurphy7217 Well, the story came from Pet's book, so I guess you're questioning him? Bootleg tapes could be second generation dubs and the masters still burned.
No, I’m questioning your memory of Pete’s book. Not to mention, Pete’s entire life (and book) has been filled with contradictions. I assure you, the dates, names, and specifics I’ve provided to your “version “ of this story, are 100% accurate. The ONLY part that is in any dispute is , if in fact the audio tapes from the 1969 Fall US tour were actually burned in a bonfire. ( Incidentally, Pete has claimed that he burned them, and later changed it to Pridden. But, that’s just Pete being Pete) I merely cleared up your vague memory.
Maybe in England, but youth actually started in the late thirties in America with the early Jitterbugs and Bobby Soxers, lindy-hopping to Swing Jazz... The First TEENs were into Jazz Swing, the forerunner to Rock'n'Roll revolution ;-)
@@AstroMockerSelector Youth aren't the dominating force or western culture until the late 50's/early 60's I'm afraid, so I cannot agree with what you say here. Unless it was to make the point that there were teenagers prior to the 60's, which probably most of us knew already.
Sublime Music Channel , maybe teenagers were non-existant as an entity OUTSIDE of the States, but it was ALREADY in the US; you people from Britain, and everywhere else, even in HK you had to wait for the late 50’s for Youth to be reckonned as a force, economical and political (it was a States’ invention after all! ), I’m sorry to contradict you.
Sublime Music Channel , PS : just check these American Swing Kids during War time and tell me they’re no Teenage cult with proper clothing and lingo ... ua-cam.com/video/nXYyq6bXKSA/v-deo.html
I'm now too old to find rock music interesting but the quality of even their early early work is crazy. Having not listened to them in years, they sound like west coast garage rock... not how I remember them at all.
(Pete Townshend) I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her
@@fernandooliveira3432 Not a chance. Bonham sounded like a caveman playing garbage cans with a pair of clubs for sticks. Moon was pure class on everything he played on.
Roger is tweaking on speed here, touching his face and rubbing his nose a lot, looking around all uncomfortable and too nervous.. that is tweaking! The mods did tons of speed back then.
Roger avoided leapers because they affected his voice too badly. The big fight that almost broke up The Who was Roger being infuriated at the rest of the group taking too much speed and playing crap.
This includes the instrumental break from 2:12 to 2:34 that was edited out of the single release. I prefer the shorter single, maybe because that was all I knew for decades.
I wish people would stop squabbling over who is a better musician. What's ironic is that all these guys who you put up against one another were all pals. Bonham was powerful and timing perfect but mooney was a maverick both are f...kin brilliant. Rip the pair of em!
It's pretty obvious Daltrey recorded an in-studio vocal track for this playback. So I wonder if the whole song was done this way. It was often done like that back then. It doesn't sound like the album version.
I am so confused right now. Are they lip singing or actually singing because this version is slowed down and the vocals are pretty simplified and you can see Roger sing synchronized with the song pretty well at some times but there are other times when he puts the mic away and his voice is still going, also the other guys don't have a mic but are still heard
It was a technical issue, most TV studios were to small to afford proper amps and record them live. That's why all Top of the Pops performances were synched.
Back then they would often record a version of the song in the TV studio, then lip synch and fake play to that version of the song. This one sounds different than the regular single and album versions. The vocals surely are.
Wow! Odd set-up at 1:14 . I've never seen them aligned like that before....Moon superb here; even when he drums conventionally, his beat is special-- check out 1:22

Brilliant! Keith Moon was to drums like Hendrix was to a guitar! Incredible!
His play on this cut is some of the most perfect I’ve heard. Beautifully power.
Moon was an animal(muppet Show) on the drums, so comparison with Hendrix is spot on.
Played in a band that supported the Who twice .Keith moon borrowed our drummers set of Ludwig’s after a truck load of thei gear was stolen that day .Promised he would give it a good work out but not destroy it at the end.Our drummer had PTSD ( ha ha ) for a couple of hours after but was true to his word .Great guys .Pete destroyed a brand new Strat on same night,

¿Ringo o Keith o Ginger Baker?
@@victorvargaslavin2104 Bonham, Moon, and Baker were the best of that era.
spot on, and in Little Billy. He drove the Who.
Yeah, Keith is my favorite rock drummer but another that deserves love is Mitch Mitchell.
Today we are nowhere near this level of talent, not even close.

For me it's this one and "Can't Explain".
Same exact lineup for me
R.I.P. John and Keith
The ones that got away... :(
Keith's drumming at 2:13 is awesome!
He's a brilliant drummer. Unfortunately he can't "drum synch" for shit. Check out the other vid of this song shot at Hyde Park. He's even worse.

ABSOLUTELY!
This is our Gen X reaction to this one:
*The kids aren't alright* by The Offspring
They’re great, but Bonham and JPJ from Zeppelin are better, in my opinion
Right on
Saw them live about 67 at King mojo club Sheffield..outstanding.❤

He will be. His drumming was legendary. Keep the beat without following the rhythm. Not many people can do that.Epic drummer.
Cant take your eyes off Moonie!!! How many drummers can you say that about?!
Oh man, poignancy and toughness at the same time. Love it! Pete Townshend was definitely the voice of a generation.

John with an incredibly rare Fender slab bass.

@@robertbykowski1398 both brilliant in a unique way
Joey Jordison
Ringo Starr Had more complex drumming style Instead of Moon
A Mod Anthem!
La mejor seccion rítmica de todos los tiempos.
Dig the early Who. Their songs are pretty cool .
Moon magic! :0)
Eran buenos. Qué leches. Eran superlativos.
One of many immortal favourites. Too bad the technology of the time meant they had to mime for TV.
Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!
Roger is tweaking on speed here, touching his face and rubbing his nose a lot, looking around all uncomfortable and too nervous.. that is tweaking! The mods did tons of speed back then.
Roger avoided leapers because they affected his voice too badly. The big fight that almost broke up The Who was Roger being infuriated at the rest of the group taking too much speed and playing crap.
I know, he's so adorable, I could just cuddle him!
No , he is OK, you are an internet either...
This includes the instrumental break from 2:12 to 2:34 that was edited out of the single release. I prefer the shorter single, maybe because that was all I knew for decades.
He introduces the song as The Kids Is Alright.
I wish people would stop squabbling over who is a better musician. What's ironic is that all these guys who you put up against one another were all pals. Bonham was powerful and timing perfect but mooney was a maverick both are f...kin brilliant. Rip the pair of em!
It's pretty obvious Daltrey recorded an in-studio vocal track for this playback. So I wonder if the whole song was done this way. It was often done like that back then. It doesn't sound like the album version.
Roger picks his nose at the end? Heal also does that in the My Generation video
Heaven.......
I am so confused right now. Are they lip singing or actually singing because this version is slowed down and the vocals are pretty simplified and you can see Roger sing synchronized with the song pretty well at some times but there are other times when he puts the mic away and his voice is still going, also the other guys don't have a mic but are still heard
Brilliant
The who are all right 🎸🇬🇧👍
So sweet and innocent....little did we know, lol
And lovable & cuddly
Lip synching? Guitars not plugged in, no amps. Not judging . Everybody did it back then. Love the song.
Mr perfect xx
British TV did it a lot, probably because of the Ed Sullivan show issues when performers went off script
Yes; they at least do this performance to a mix of the track that doesn't contain Daltrey's double-tracked vocal.
It was a technical issue, most TV studios were to small to afford proper amps and record them live. That's why all Top of the Pops performances were synched.
Back then they would often record a version of the song in the TV studio, then lip synch and fake play to that version of the song. This one sounds different than the regular single and album versions. The vocals surely are.
"The kid is all white" :). RIP John...
ESTAVA NA ROCA DOS MEUS AVOS , ESTAVA ESCUTANDO THE WHO .... QUE DEUS ABENCOES TODOS LA ..... SE DEUS QUISER VOU MUDAR PARA LA DENOVO
Brilliant.
Roger daltrey for ever!
Pretty good acoustics for a Doctor Who set....
TOTALLY Amazing 😂
I wanna say this. Heavy metal you take credit for the double bass drum? No sir Keith moon!!!!
Whoa unaltered lead vocal!
Wow! Odd set-up at 1:14 . I've never seen them aligned like that before....Moon superb here; even when he drums conventionally, his beat is special-- check out 1:22
the best!
Poor john not surprised he was anxious
John Entwistle never moved so fast since!
People may not know that the drummer for the Muppets band is based on Keith Moon
