    Might as well go for one of the trickiest ones! Superb, and it was great to hear a version leaning toward the Quick One LP version with the extra Ivor verse and the harmonies up front as well as the lighter ‘66 guitar sound. Kudos to the drummer doing one of the most demanding ten minutes in rock. And the really tight finale, gradual acceleration and door-slam ending was PERFECTION.

    Accidentally stumbled upon this video, and I’m very pleased. Massive Who and Keith Moon fan, the drummer was great at keeping time, I know from experience that this song is far from easy to play. Probably one of the hardest ones I know… So big props to the drummer! Lovely cover, the band would love this! Talented kids!

    Now that they have Lincoln Center medallions and 2 dead Europeans, The Who really ARE officially Opera composers. THEY got to perform 'Tommy' at Constitution Hall in DC in 1969 with no "issues". But since I lived there then, I sort of wish they had played at the Lincoln Memorial. We would have heard them all the way to Maryland Av. NE!

    Great cover kids. I'm a Who fan since my teen years, I'm 22 now. This has always been one of my favourite songs, way too underated in my opinion. Seeing younger fellows covering it really makes me glad!
    Now you just have to work on your attitude! 😎 Own the stage, you are rockstars! And feel the song too, especially the bassist and drummer, don't do the minimum, go for it, even if that means hitting wrong notes in rehearsals!

    Great job guys and gals. The Who did this song on " Live at Leeds" in I think 1970 it's a double album if you love the Who, and I believe you do, it's only Roger on vocals, Pete guitar, John bass, and Kieth on drums.check it out y'all will love it. rock on.

    • @crescentfreshbret
      @crescentfreshbret 4 роки тому

      The Live At Leeds version wasn’t the version I heard, and it’s still my favorite (all the stage banter and Pete’s hilarious spoken preface enhance it greatly) with The Rolling Stones Rock ‘n Roll Circus version as a close second.

      Roy McLean Thank you on their behalf. This was a regular season show, where all the kids in the School pick one of the show programs offered, then learn it over 12 or so weeks, then do two shows for the public. So there will be a mixture of skill levels on display, with the more experienced kids mentoring the less experienced. As you noticed, the drummer is one of the more experienced (as is the keyboard player.) And by doing different music every season, they get exposed to the entire spectrum of Rock music.
