Wow!!! This wasn't included on the VHS video of the concert I bought years ago, but I'm glad it's here. This is beautiful. Kenney Jones in particular is flying.
The Who should be given much more credit for influencing rock. In my opinion, they are only behind the two untouchables: The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. They’re top songs are like Leonardo masterpieces and just like Leonardo, they had some in-complete work. Others have had more sales (but if sales is what matters then Jackson is one, two or three on greatest musicians).. If you forget about success and just look at the top songs that each of the Top 5 Bands left us, I say it is the WHO that has the highest average point Masterpieces (Just my worthless opinion). 1) Baba O Riley 2) Won’t Get Fooled Again 3) Dr Jimmy 4) Love Reign O’er Me 5) Behind Blue Eyes (Probably the least unique) 6) 5:15 7) The Real Me (Anyone who loves bass and drums will almost prefer this song over sex. And it describes the mind-set of many struggling teenagers generation after generation) 8) My Generation (Way ahead of its time in bass. At that time, you never heard anything like the Bass solos. It was one of the revolutionary songs of Rock in the 60’s along with “Satisfaction” 9) Who Are You? All of these songs would never make it on the radio in the pop word, but they wrote them (should say ‘he’) anyway. Stones 1) Satisfaction 2) Sympathy for the Devil (Top Level) 3) Gimme Shelter (Top Level) 4) Paint It Black (Top) 5) Start Me Up 6) Brown Sugar (Top) 7) Wild Horses (Top) I put the stones ahead of The Who but not by much. I give the stones the tie breaker because they are The Rolling Stones. But as pure music, Ill take The Who.
I'm going the other way. Saw them both live and The Who wins that battle. I can no longer bear Start Me Up. Thank God for Spotify. I was more of a Led Zep fan until I saw The Who Live. Pete's a heckuva song writer. My top 3 are Rush, The Who, The Beatles. I do like your worthless opinion regarding the highest average point Masterpieces.
The Stones are phenomenally overrated, sorry kids. And the entity that stands head and shoulders above all of them is Ray Davies - masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece churned out by The Kinks from '64-'74.
I have the VHS tape of The Who Live Over America 1982 which I bought at Strawberries decades ago, but it doesn't include this song. I'm guessing it was included on the original Pay Per View special in December '82 yet omitted from the VHS tape due to time constraints. I have it on the The Who Who's Last album of course. Were there any other songs showed on Pay Per View that didn't make the commercially-released tape?
LordRufus This is actually from Thursday 16 December not the final night of the 17th. The CD release of the 17th is missing 3 tracks, by my count. Going from memory as a 12-year old in '82 and seeing it live on CCTV at the Paramount Theater, Seattle: Doctor Jimmy, Behind Blue Eyes, and, Cry If You Want were omitted from the CD. Haven't seen The Who Rocks America VHS version since 1988, so, I can't recall if the 3 are included there.
Fakename70 The only way you can tell the difference the 16th and 17th shows from Toronto is the wrist band on Pete the 16th show Pete wears a red wrist band and the 17th he had a red white and blue wrist band AND that's the only way you can tell the difference BECAUSE they were told to wear the same clothing for both shows because they where being taped for a final video for a future release and they would pick the better of the 2 shows that was recorded for the video release " strange but true."
If you lived here (ontario) it was live on the 'free' tv CITY TV and also simulcast on Chum fm. Just never forgotten that🙄 oh and it was repeated nationallly that night after it was over on the cbc
Wait, is it just me (for a moment?) or is Townshend completely inaudible on this song? I wonder if that's not why they left it off the official home video releases.
The general value of the drummer and Kenny Jones is low. The achievements for which he left it is very interesting. Because their sound difficult up to that. The point which was arranged by his play and became easy to accept is big.
@@pdbordelon agree, I thought he did a damn good job during this period, very tight! People judge him as though he has to fill in Keith Moon's shoes, but he's a great drummer.
Kennedy est un très bon drummer car il met les autres membres en valeur sans les enterrer et il sait quel " fill" utiliser au bon moment. Dans Who are tout et wont get fool again, il est fantastique. C'est Roger qui le critiquait pour rien et il ne méritait pas ce traitement
Probably the angriest song ever written. Absolute class from one of the best bands in the world ever.
Kenney really played this number well. Tight with a lot of energy and fills.
Killer version, best band ever
Damn. John Entwhistle just kills that bass. F'N great!
Very strong hands
That bass line is so solid you could build a skyscraper on it. The Ox - best ever.
好きな曲です。大勢の人の人生に寄り添える曲と思います。
Love Quadrophenia--Album AND film--this is my favourite track on the album-Amazing!!!!
So glad The Who were able to rebound after losing Moon, & many years later Entwistle. Props to Kenny Jones & Rabbit.
Pino
Tho it's not like before :/
One of the best albums ever !
Wow!!! This wasn't included on the VHS video of the concert I bought years ago, but I'm glad it's here. This is beautiful. Kenney Jones in particular is flying.
you bought what aired on hbo months later
Best song on the album
Esta é a melhor banda do mundo
Great song!
The Greatest song lyrics ever written
One of my favorites from this concert for sure.
Finally someone post this!!!!!!! THANKS!!!
Not too many people talk about Rabbit, but he really did add so much dimension to this band. A really imaginative player.
That is absolutely true. But, it is not Rabbit playing on this tour.
RABBIT 🥁👍 rip 🌖 ⭕❌ i am french sory for texts best band 🎸🎹🎤🥁🎺👍 ( Guy platteau Marseille France 😎 )
Tim Gorman played keybds. Pete introed. him at end of DEC. 17th. show.
The Who should be given much more credit for influencing rock. In my opinion, they are only behind the two untouchables: The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

1) Baba O Riley
2) Won’t Get Fooled Again
3) Dr Jimmy
4) Love Reign O’er Me
5) Behind Blue Eyes (Probably the least unique)
6) 5:15
7) The Real Me (Anyone who loves bass and drums will almost prefer this song over sex. And it describes the mind-set of many struggling teenagers generation after generation)
8) My Generation (Way ahead of its time in bass. At that time, you never heard anything like the Bass solos. It was one of the revolutionary songs of Rock in the 60’s along with “Satisfaction”

Stones
1) Satisfaction
2) Sympathy for the Devil (Top Level)
3) Gimme Shelter (Top Level)
4) Paint It Black (Top)
5) Start Me Up
6) Brown Sugar (Top)
7) Wild Horses (Top)

Nothing from Tommy? :(
I always crank overture and go the mirror ;)
The Stones are phenomenally overrated, sorry kids. And the entity that stands head and shoulders above all of them is Ray Davies - masterpiece after masterpiece after masterpiece churned out by The Kinks from '64-'74.
I love this version of Dr. Jimmy...even though this is audio played over video clips from other songs at that concert.
I saw The Who around 1980 at Wembley as I was working at the Empire Pool. I think it was Kenny Jones on drums
He was the drummer then !!
They said The Who play Dr Jimmy. In 1973 i must og been to high to rrmrmber i remember alot song Tommy P
YEAH !!!!!
The best!!!!!
2024 January, WHO thinks this is a whopper song, nothing against Jones, but the drumming in this song is great. Love it.

@@mygirlpiper wow thats cool! Where did you learn that, good 37 year memory? Lol
I like how Pete changes a couple songs from the 16th to the 17th
If you lived here (ontario) it was live on the 'free' tv CITY TV and also simulcast on Chum fm. Just never forgotten that🙄 oh and it was repeated nationallly that night after it was over on the cbc
Effectivement c'est le 16 car la finale n'est exactement pareille
Roger was 27 recovering from Bronchitis in 1973
Is it me for a moment...
They haven’t started playing yet but I can tell it’s going to destroy!!!!
they would tour with the 20 th anniversary of the release of tommy in 1989
Is this from the Dec 16th show? Sounds different than the version I have from Dec 17th....
Those Hi Watt amps .
...he only comes out when I drink my gin...
Wait, is it just me (for a moment?) or is Townshend completely inaudible on this song? I wonder if that's not why they left it off the official home video releases.
I think your on to something.
Kenny Jones is doing a great job here!
Says this almost fanatic fan of Moooooon
Quadrophenia !!! Rock's most amazing album EVER,....MAKES today's lame indie look like the weak sh****t that it is !!!
farewell concert?
lol!

Your command of the English language is what is low.
I think Kenny Jones is super underrated - he is amazing on this tour with THE WHO...pisses me off when people criticize him...
