I went to this last night and whilst this wasn't the best track played, my God if i could have that energy and enthusiasm when I'm in my late 70s I'll take it. Pete is still a master craftsman on guitar and a great raconteur. The set was nicely curated, full of humour and humanity. Roger's vocals are not what they were but he is descending from a high ceiling of his own excellence and once warmed up hit notes that most singers of his age wouldn't even attempt. I felt priveledged to see them enjoying themselves doing what they love doing and being so engaged, appreciative and supportive of some of the fine younger musicians accompanying them, including Kate Jacoby on violin, who was amazingly good!
Pete's been saying for years that he doesn't like playing live/touring anymore, he's only in it for the money. I'm pretty sure he's not joking. Though I find it a bit sad hearing him say those things I totally appreciate his honesty. Roger still loves doing it.

.. i was there last night - FANTASTIC show.. perfect reproduction, Roger, Pete - interaction with the crowd - the supporting band an orchestra, no less - Loved it!! Love you Pete.. 🙂.. you had to be there.. Lon live the WHO
Exercise and clean living have kept Roger in top form for a geezer. McCartney, however, sounds 2 octaves down from just the early 90s. I guess smoking pot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner didn't help.🤷♂️
Ian, Saw them in Seattle in October (Wife surprised me with tickets). Wife isn't by any means a Who fan, but when she walked out of that arena, she was... She loved the whole show. You see people way younger than Roger who can' sing for their lives anymore. Then this guy walks on and holy hell. He sounds as good as ever. The band was tight, even with an Orchestra behind them. It was by far the best concert of my life!
Last saw these guys at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto on their Farewell Tour in 1982---20 Farewell Tours later, God Bless The Who! Keep On Rocking Ti You Die! :)
You, me and 16,000 others..lol. I remember they televised that concert as well but I had to go thinking it’s their last show. Saw them once prior to that show in Montreal with Keith Moon, and several times since
WOW! Roger Still sounds the Same as he Did when he was 20 years old! @ Pete I Agree with You on That! 😂😂 LONG LIVE THE WHO!❤️🤍💙⬆️ No One will ever Top them Ever! Untouchable Rock & Rollers!!!!
Such a great song! How does he remember the words!? I sang Cry If You Want to myself a million times in the 1980s and I still can't remember all of the words at age 54!
Remember this playing on the radio, remember them at Woodstock. Ironically I was just talking Daltrey singing this today (about getting old) They still kick for a couple of old gummers!!!
If you think these guys are old, just remember that George Burns was still on stage at 98 and people were still buying tickets to watch 10 minutes of an old guy smoking a cigar... in cities that still allows that kind of thing.
The legendary bass solo John Enwistle played absured technic, the thumd on th e - side unbelievable, but it works at this time. I played electric bass more than 20 years Jazz, Pop, Latin by myself, but i never thought to play the E - side with my thumb my 50 cent
79 et 78 ans mais toujours là l'age c'est dans la tête ils ont raison de jouer ce morceau iconique même a l'eurs age ce qui n'aime pas allez vous faire enculée ( Guy platteau Marseille)
Huge Who and Townshend fan, but this is total bollocks. The stuttered segments here are easily achieved by being old and infirm. The Stones all the way.
I love the yellow light on Daltrey's white hair! He almost looks like he did when he first sang it. That's the get around for having to sing, "Hope I die before I get old" now at an advanced age. I know thinking and perceptions change over time but I think it would be weird to sing that line to an audience when you're in your 70's. If you believe what it is you're singing, and isn't that what the best singers do? They make the audience believe them? I was a huge Who fan in the 70's as a teen and that's why - I believed them and their lyrics. I expect someone will correct me and say that the old they're referring to is "an old frame of mind." That line has been questioned in interviews for decades. But this is just my opinion and observation about this song in particular at this time. Give me a minute to buy a helmet before the rock throwing begins please.
They are singing “Hope I Die Before I get old”, and they are in their late 70s. So when do you get old? Must be when you are in your eighties or nineties. 😀
Fantastic.! Roger ,you salty old dog : and Pete ! still commanding Rythem ,I thought You guys were Old , Maybe it's the Rest of Us that.Lost.it and, Your right Pete , about Gen. X BLEW IT ! I KNOW I Am One , ( Oh ,that's a song of yours too innit ? )
They played two of the best gigs I have seen by any band in my life. BOTH in Hull. And I confess that they were not even my favorite band. 1970 when they did a full set of Tommy, and again in 71 at the ABC, the gig that never happened??? The (doctored) live recording from 1970 at City Hall is available and imo contains Keith Moon's best recorded live drum set. And the extended My Generation has to be heard. The ABC gig was possibly the loudest I ever heard. Even louder than Deep Purple at City Hall.
Seriously boys, it's time to call it a day, you've had a great run, but if it's just for the money, good luck to ya ✔️ I've seen the Who many times, they were fantastic,,,, sadly I wouldn't pay to see them now ☹️
What would you advise for someone who has never seen them? Would that just be sentimental? I’ve seen tribute bands and get half a sense of that golden era sound. But I could get tickets to see the real band on Sunday. Worth it?
Bill Clinton on lead vocals, Christopher Lloyd on lead and rhythm guitar, Boris Johnson on drums and Andy Cohen on bass guitar. Give a warm welcome for "The Who The Fuck"
I saw them live at Badminton and they were phenomenal. This recording does not show the energy and power, and I was prepared to understand they might be getting on, but what a show they gave. Very very good.
Um...it's not the Who. It's Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey playing their really old songs. The Who was Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend, Roger Entwistle and Keith Moon. Those four made all that great music over fifty years ago! You can't just remove two of the most consequential rock musicians in history (Moon and Entwistle) from the equation and have the same results! Hey Townsend and Daltrey... just go quietly enjoy your retirements and quit sullying the Who's reputation!
DO YOU NEED A SEAT PETE? Love the way his accent changes from decade to decade, old fraud. Remember the 80's when he talked with a perfect RP accent. He seems to have gone back to the 60's when he was using a Cockley accent.
Watch closely and Townsend barely plays. Most parts are now covered by his brother. PT turns his back to the audience. Watch him in the bass drum reflection and you’ll see. It’s time to stop!
Geezers coming up to age 80 playing My Generation are performing farce. In lieu of the John Entwistle bass solo, there should be silence, or a Depends advert.
I love the Who but Peter needs to play and not talk…They also sounded way out of tune but they are still awesome and Tommy and Who’s Next shaped my life back then. ThankYou to The Who!
@@MarkSmith-pr7js Right. So when somebody rightly says that when two ancient grandpas engage in a geriatric cringe fest, it immediately follows they therefore like Coldplay??? *LOOOOOL!!!*
@@hyena131if you think that’s the case why comment, I saw them last week and they sounded incredible, the sound on this video gives no justice to the quality of the performance. Best keep your lack of knowledge when it comes to music to yourself, spreading hate on people putting on concerts and giving people a great evening in times like this is fairly odd

Amazing and the energy...and LIVE SINGING too and Rogers Voice....wow !!!!

Rog fumbling the "I hope I die before I get old" line 😄 Bless him!
I think he didn’t want to say it… lol
That was purposely omitted! Hilarious
When you've got nothing more to give its time to hang up your mic
These guys are still showing us how it's done keep on keeping on guys

They got old Alrite before they died,Play the record
Surely there's a case to be made for hanging up your mic when you're still singing your own song circa 1965.
Roger Daltrey Is on fine form. Great they played My Generation/Cry if you Want.
Still got it. Can't believe Pete is 78.
The legends in my home town…brilliant.
Total legends!
I see the Who Drum gig is going well for Boris Johnson .
Smart arse git.
It’s actually Zak Starkey, son of Ringo!
no no, it is not. it s boris!!!! i cannot believe someone truly had to explain that. DUUUUUUHHHH
@@reresimone4300 oh yeah it was a joke was it. Soooo funnny

Roger can still sing. Man, he seems to get better even

Cry if you want... Great song love its original version!
Such a great song! How does he remember the words!? I sang Cry If You Want to myself a million times in the 1980s and I still can't remember all of the words at age 54!
Look at Pete with P-90s strat!!!
Seen the original line up in the 60s & 70s with moonie , brilliant gigs .Had a few beers with them after 👍
I don't care about what anybody says. I love you guys. Long may you reign on me
Yes I’m here again….I LOVE THESE 2 MEN..❤️🤍💙⬆️
Remember this playing on the radio, remember them at Woodstock. Ironically I was just talking Daltrey singing this today (about getting old) They still kick for a couple of old gummers!!!
Il faut savoir s'arrêter, quel dommage ...
the unexpected modulation hahaha they looked like they were having fun despite the hiccups. love it
The Who - Not To Be Taken Away.
Roger Daltrey looks like the bloke on Antiques roadshow who values glass.
I know the dude you mean 😅

Hey look it's bingo night!
Great audio!!
This is the farewell to the farewell to the farewell to the farewell to the farewell to the farewell to the farewell tour and it still rocks!
Lindooos!!!
love them but miss the ox. and his fantastic LOUD ! bass
Cool
1965: "I hope I die before I get old" Roger (79), Pete (78) 🙂 🙂
Just kidding.
79 et 78 ans mais toujours là l'age c'est dans la tête ils ont raison de jouer ce morceau iconique même a l'eurs age ce qui n'aime pas allez vous faire enculée ( Guy platteau Marseille)
Wish they played this when I saw them
I hope that they took time to wish Zac's dad a happy 83rd 🎂birthday yesterday. Happy birthday (July 7) Ringo Starr!!! ✌💖
And his dad is the sole reason Zak is drumming for the Who... and before that, oasis. He's not bad, but he's no Keith Moon.
Whoops! I don’t care. They’re still here, and they are The Who!
Well its not Live at Leeds but we are all old now so...still good times
Huge Who and Townshend fan, but this is total bollocks. The stuttered segments here are easily achieved by being old and infirm. The Stones all the way.
MODS FOR EVER!!!! STILL HERE......
The Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!!!
Looking forward to seeing them in DERBY on 14th July.
Call it a day lads
Looking forward to Sandringham
Did Edinburgh on the 8th, just booked Sandringham........Truely epic
WOW CREDIT WERE IT DUE 78 AND 79 YRS YOUNG ,.

I feel for the bassist. Pete was going wherever he wanted and the bassist had to follow.

Clock has been, ticking. Stop , remember, how good they were.
Pete is wise, 👁️
The who are the best band in the world. End of chat

Pack it in boys
Can’t wait to see them in Durham! ❤ Thanks for sharing mate and could you please tell me when they came on stage? Like 8:00 pm or something else?
The pre-Boomer generation is ironically known as the Silent generation!
Always loved the Who, until Keith died. Its time to knock it on the head lads.
You are right great band in the 70s
I saw them live at Badminton and they were phenomenal. This recording does not show the energy and power, and I was prepared to understand they might be getting on, but what a show they gave. Very very good.
Tak skal du have
Is that ex-cricketer Kevin Pietersen playing guitar next to the drummer? 😮😂😂😂
time to fade away
Ow my hip! 😅😆
This is painful to watch and I loved the who their time is over I’m sad to say😢
I will still go see them if Roger sings in spoken word.
Really miss the ox it’s just gutless
As a stutterer, this song triggers me every time! 😆

Whos idea was it to do an acoustic version of Dont ne fooled again? as this is one of the whos power tracks.
Great performance, but c'mon boys, you're the who. One of the most famously drum-centric bands of all time. Give Starkey some real drums ffs
It's not their fault, there's just no replacing Kieth Moon
When you go to a wedding and the grandparents get up and dance.
drummer plays this too straigiht
Please play water😊
Not bad
Well done guys but the energy with conviction of youth is not there anymore. I dont expect it but what a great song
Time to get a better armchair boys and stay at home!
Quel dommage, il faut savoir s'arrêter (Groupe magistral dans les années 1970 ! Triste en 2023)
Time for many (Stones aside) from This Generation to stop B4 destroying the legacy of their great music .
Lol

was bass player was asleep first half of song,
the why?
Roger don't do this.
Os vovôs estão enferrujados, mas ainda dão no couro.
Who’s the bassist?

@@petebradt Thanks! Haven't seen him before.
Yikes, I can't believe people are praising this lifeless performance
Dont know whats going on with the bass player, he looks like hes at a pub gig.
No no no no 😢😢😢
They look old and doddery. They don't even realise how they're perceived. How fascinating.
@markw1413
Ego and dotage a bad combination.
I'm surprised this song is still allowed . It could well upset people who stutter ! ( Fucked up world ) .
Just realised whats wrong with our country...
Full of dossers that don't want to graft..
These are the last of the hard working GENERATION.
