Yes sir!! Went and seen them in Atlanta a while back, KILLER…. KILLER concert! Put on one hell of a show! And LOUD! Sounded just like they did back in the 70s. Just didn’t move as quickly, but Pete and Rodger still had it. Especially Rodger.
I was there at 14 years old. My first concert. I was seated behind the stage. What you don't see in the videos is that Keith Moon had a guy sitting behind him with a box of drums sticks. Keith would hit a cymbal and let go of the stick and it would go flying off. He would then put his hand behind his back and this guy would put a stick in his hand and Moon wouldn't miss a beat. I was amazed watching this!
+Bill Sisk Wow Bill, that's amazing. Lucky bastard! :-) Bet your ears were ringing for awhile after that show. :-) I would have loved to see the Who with Keith.
I saw them in Oct of '76 in PDX. Fantastic show. It was close to the end of their last time truly in the sun.. Entwistle said they were playing so good they could just go on forever like that. Helluva comment from the players.
bill, i was there also standing on the main floor... the place hadn't had a lions football game played there yet....(there was no heat in the dome, and the temps that day outside were in the single digits... +80 thousand people, a record for an indoor concert at that time.)...
It was the first concert at the Pontiac Silverdome and for some reason was General Admission. Unless you got in front of the stage on the main floor the sound was terrible. Saw many a Lions game there over the years but never went to another concert there.
I was there in the front row as well right in front of John stage left and I remember the guards pulling people over the wall carrying them on their shoulders past me and throwing them back over the wall.
I saw them 2 days later at Cincinnati's Riverfront Colesium 12/8/1975. I was a 19-year-old kid at the time. They just played for 55 minutes, but it was the best rock concert I have ever been to. They were very LOUD. I just remember walking away convinced that Keith Moon was the best drummer in the world. Oh, and the price of the ticket was $7.50.
That doesn't sound right, that they played for only 55 minutes. I saw them on this tour in Atlanta, and they were playing two hour concerts at the time, (as well as in 1973 and 1976, when I also saw them). Are you sure it was that short? Why would they have cut their show in half?
Keith Moon's huge cymbal crash during the scream.. goosebumps. The man knew how to make a song dramatic. The greatest thing about this band is how powerful and loud they sound. And it's 1975 and only 3 instruments. Goodness.
I just cranked my Boston Accoustics like they have never been cranked before ....Holy Moly !...this band was insane..... This is one of the worlds greatest rock bands at the height of their career doing what they did best . At least two generations of rock fans don't know what they missed . It will never be replicated .
The way that Pete Townshend emerges with his roaring Les Paul at 7:50 accompanied by Moonie's powerful crash & Roger's scream.. I can't get enough of it. Greatest live band of all time.
Well... The Who probably would release this concert in it's entirety, But we all know how the British are. They just got to tax every thing. Even extremely loud distorted rock N Roll shit!
@@patrickciacco1083 British taxes? What on earth are you talking about? No, someone who worked in the broadcast facility for football games, inside the stadium, plugged into the closed circuit video feed and recorded the concert. He then took the video cassette he recorded that night and sold it to bootleggers. This is a video bootleg.
Roger always delivered. Pete was constantly wavering between being grateful for that and frustrated often that they were so different personally and even creatively. When they were on and content they were completely untouchable live. Pete is a genius and Keith and John are just the best.
A bombastic Jam for an hour that's not too long to play considering a lot of bands back then we're playing for an hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. But they never stopped really I mean just for a second to catch their breath and right into the next aggressively wild song and break it down into a killer Jam like they do on every song.. Entwistle walking all over that bass Moon The Loon Townsend signature music lyrics guitar playing and Daltrey a voice like no other. Those Lads had something really special
This period Who is remarkable. You can tell Keith is REALLY focussed - every fill seems really well considered. Some of the more rapid fire ones aren't there anymore, but there's no sloppiness at all here.
I was there for this. The show was general admission so we waited for hours in the freezing cold and snow, but I'd do it all over to see that show again.
Harry B I was there, 15 years old. I remember some kinda Jamaican drum band or som'thin that opened got booed off the stage. They might have finished one "song" maybe.
Jgrobo The opening act was the reggae act Toots and the Maytals. That was my first exposure to reggae and I've loved it ever since. I too was 15 at the time.
Agree! They should have released this concert in place of "Live in Texas 75" Pete was into it for the Pontiac Show! Pete windmills Twice at the Intro. to WGFA!
I was there. Largest indoor concert ever at the time. 100k people in the 80k seat Silverdome. No bathrooms on the field level. Cold December day, started lining up at 1200. Band was incredible .
Can anyone think of another band that you can say sounds like The Who......Townshend looks like he is fight his demons during this song radiating out of his guitar...one of a kind!
@@richardbrake9454 no man they never sounded as good after he stopped using the SG SPECIAL those Les Paul's were known to among the worst ever made I've no idea what he was thinking and all the this bullshit he couldn't get them because he smashed them all, bolloks he smashed less than ten.
My first concert ever and I believe the first concert ever at the silverdome…Amazing show. back then a concert was an event and we enjoyed them to the fullest, I think the ticket was like 8.50.
Saw them in Chicago a couple days before this - best concert I ever attended. They played most of Tommy and a good chunk of Who's Next. It was the last time they toured the US before Monnie passed away, so glad I got to see him one last time (also saw the 73 tour).
Saw them a few times, including the night Keith passed out at the Cow Palace. After I saw them in 1970 at the SF Civic, my ears took several days to recover. Probably still haven't. :)
Hearing loss is bad..I started having issues at age 33 in 96 and that was it....No more movies, concerts, clubs, anywhere loud I cannot go even with earplugs...I have constant tinnitus, poor hearing loss, hyperacusis, my balance is offm have had tinnitus 24/7 and I have to carry earplugs all the time....Wish I had the public had been educated more about the dangers of loud noise..Avoid it
Angy, pissed or not.. Except for his usual fantastic rhythm playing, this video feature some of the best lead guitar playing from Pete I've ever heard. Brilliant!
Actually he is not a bad lead guitarist at all when he takes the opportunity to do it. His sound as a composer is based primarily upon delicious harmonies so that calls for a lot of rhythm guitar. When he plays lead licks he's quite good.
The video i have of this show starts somewhere in their Tommy set. If audio of the entire show exists, I hope they release it as a live album. Definitely need an official live album representing their 75-76 tour.
There's not stereo audio of this show, is there? I agree, though -- an entire show from that stretch other than what's come out from Swansea would be great.
I doubt it the guitar sound is awful compared to Leeds, Hull, Isle of Man. They only good one I've heard is the Chicago show with Kenny Jones in drums with a Les Paul and possibly Charlton but they never sounded as good as the SGs through the HIWATT AMPS.
I was 8 years old living 12 miles away in Hartland Michigan. I did not know the Who at that time being born to parents born in the 1930's they could not have cared less so they were not listening to ARO radio. Was this the zenith of the WHO's career? Here's maybe why: #1 they were playing that night to the largest ever(-at that time-) indoor crowd. #2 They were all sharp. #3 they had all the great albums behind them but not very far behind. #4 moon did NOT tank. LONG LIVE THE WHO
keith had headphones or earmuffs on at the beginning but lost them by the end...story of his life? won`t get fooled again really suited his playing style...greatest drummer.
+Willie Finn Keith wore headphones during the keyboard numbers.What was piped in the headphones was Townsend's keyboard tape and a click track.He didn't like playing to it but had to so the band would be locked into the keyboard tape.He did a pretty good job of it.
+Willie Finn He didn't lose them in this case until the VERY end of the song (final drumbeats), when he didn't need them anymore, however. I agree this song is his showcase, especially what we hear on the studio version. I wonder how many overdubs or retakes were involved in the LP version, it's too incredible to have been a live, first take recording!
bookguitarguy The entire Who's Next sessions were incredible because Glyn Johns had managed to get Moon to sort of reel it in a bit with the "antics" and just concentrate on being the best timekeeper possible. Hence, the prevalence of hi-hat for the first time, and arguably Moon's greatest studio performance.
Yes plus if you get the expanded 2 disk version of Who's Nest with lifehouse live at the Young Vic theatre Keith is on fire the whole concert through.Incredible double bass drum work.
I am not old enough to have seen The Who with Keith Moon, The first time I saw The Who was in 1996 when they came to where I live they were doing Quadrophenia. I was lucky enough to have front row tickets,I was directly in front of Pete Townsend. At the end of the concert he took off his Red Strat and threw it on stage a piece broke off of his guitar I shouted up to Pete”HEY PETE CAN I HAVE YOUR GUITAR?” He looked over and responded back “Kid it is still repairable” during the encore Roger came over and sung to me. Billy Idol and Gary Glitter were with them on this tour and I had been giving Billy thumbs up all night and he eventually looked over and gave me a thumbs up, I was 18 at the time and had taken my dad to the concert. So many great memories of the first time I saw The Who and it was awesome I had some interaction back
I was there in the nosebleed seats when I was 17 years old! One of the most memorable concerts of my life! It was so loud that the sound didn’t even have a chance to bounce around inside the stadium! It was a sonic assault that was deafening and I was as far away from the stage as you could get!!
I was at this concert also my first.Sat on the 50 yard line, middle of the field. Toots and the Maytals(???) opened the show. When the doors opened,everyone in line just went for the doors,leaving huge piles of unopened beer laying on the ground! Great fun for a 16 year old!
The Who by numbers tour 1976 Greensboro Coliseum, North Carolina. Toots and the maytals open the show and were booed off the stage after 2 songs! The who came on the stage about an hour and a half later and Pete Townsend said if we'd have known you wanted to see us that bad we have have got here earlier! LOL great concert cheers!!!
Yes, about 5 of my friends and I were at this concert at about the what would be the 45 yard line. To this day, the most memorable concert I've ever been too. Thanks for posting this!!!
Ahh good ole #2...Detroit was always one of their favorite stops. I saw them, or at least 3/4 of them, at the Silverdome in '79. It was their first GA show after Cincinnati. Tension hung in the air, to say the least...
So good to see these Silverdome vids. I graduated from Waterford Township High school that year. What a blast to be 15 minutes from this show. The best of many I saw at the "Dome".
It was a great concert to say the least. I had no idea this was on youtube. The Silverdome, "The Grand Canyon of Pontiac" Seen a few other concerts there too. That place was so huge.
ans this ladies and gentlrmen is why The Who are simply the greatest band ever!
Perfect in every way.
Indeed !

didn't seem that short to me - I loved the show & got my $7.50's worth and then some!

How have I not ever seen this incredible performance?! The Who really were the greatest live band of all time.
The who were the masters at ending a track, especially live and omg the crowd you don't often hear a cheer go on for so long, it says it all.
Never heard Baba O’ Riley and Won’t Get Fooled Again played so loud in my life till I went and seen them. Holy hell!!! Amazing!
I wish The Who would release this concert in its entirety.
80,000 people!
Well... The Who probably would release this concert in it's entirety, But we all know how the British are. They just got to tax every thing. Even extremely loud distorted rock N Roll shit!
They most-likely don't own the rights to the video; being an American show, it's probably filmed and owned by Bill Graham...

My first concert, the first concert at the now closed down (thank God) Pontiac Silverdome.
Yup!!! She is history.
Was there front row and remember when the song was over was still vibrating. Gave there all the synthesizer was perfect and the scream too!
he didn't say "do ya?". I'm crushed. I was totally waiting for that.
Pete probably added "do ya" much later in their career.
I'm pretty sure it was on the original album version
@@samcastevens8044 it was

Are you kidding me? What was it, some kind of a crime to have a damned camera on THE OX?!?
Dead right - the best bassist ever! Where was the ferkin' camera?
I agree. The camera work overall is cropped way too tightly overall.
This is footage is for the jumbo screen so the people in the nose bleed sections could see the show.
They could care less. It wasn't filmed for a release, just for the video screen.
the main reason Jeff Stein had two special shows filmed for the Kids are Alright. he was frustrated at the lack of camera time of the OX

was there, at the opposite end of field, didn't matter it was great ! remember it as if it were yesterday !!!!!
i was THERE! 15 years young....this is the first time i"ve seen video of this show. thanx you SO very much to LZjoker....
All Who members showing there musicians 🎶 talent 🎶 🥁 🎶 ➿ 🎸 🎶 bass guitar 🎸 🎶
My favorite live version of this song now! Keith was killing that solo towards Roger's scream! So much power and electricity 🎸🎸🎸🔥🔥🔥🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
So good to see these Silverdome vids. I graduated from Waterford Township High school that year. What a blast to be 15 minutes from this show. The best of many I saw at the "Dome".
I saw The Who live in 1975 in Greensboro, NC
It incredible how four geniuses like them could work together. They had some arguments but fortunately for us... they stayed together.
grande banda,roger daltrey canta demais,sensacional...
I was there my first Who concert
Me too..First row 30 yard line..I wish we met, we could have shared some heat..Damn it was cold that gloomy day.
I saw them at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on December 15th, 1975. What a great concert!! This rendition at the Spectrum was unbelievable!!!!
It was cool that Pearl Jam did a WHO cover every night they played before the Spectrum closed for good ! I MISS THAT VENUE . . . . .
I was there... great show...
Fenomenal!
Nice improvisation from Moon. That's the difference kids.
Very good performance
It was better live..Way better.!!
It was a great concert to say the least. I had no idea this was on youtube. The Silverdome, "The Grand Canyon of Pontiac" Seen a few other concerts there too. That place was so huge.
I saw them, during this same tour, but in Cincinnati. Amazing!
If there is an R & R anthem, this is it! From one of the BEST Bands Ever❤
YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!
I was there too...It was fantastic, we were on the 30 yard line first row. I could not stand still for a year..
My first concert ever attended and at age 13, it was a mind blowing experience and one that I will never forget!
Guitar changes. Townsend used several different guitars throughout a show, so he numbered them, which made them easier to recognize in a dark venue.
I saw them in new jersey, late 90s, they were a thrill
Fucking awesome!!! What a great video!
