No wonder Pete was pissed when he first saw the Jimi Hendrix Experience and thought they stole his craft - this show precedes the first public Experience performance by 126 days... and The Who had been doing this for some time. 1963-1969 was a great time to be paying attention !
Thank's. I was gonna check out which was first. Hendrix was on an album before the JHE very much begining of his sound is on there. Dad saw 'em on a Cruse ship a few years ago, and chatted, and they told him. I saw The Who in 1980/1 just after Moon passed. First big gig Great.
Wow, never seen this footage before. Thanks for the share. Must have been mindblowing for the audience. The Ox only gets a few seconds on film, a pity. Otherwise kudos to the lads - forever the best and most original pop-rock group of all time. Time to release one last single to remind the world, Pete and Roger?
I love Pete Townshend's guitar tone here especially on "See See Rider". He's playing a Rickenbacker through Marshall amps. As Daltrey would say, The Who "Who'd" their cover version of "See See Rider" similar to other cover songs like "Summertime Blues". They had a unique ability in the original band line-up to cover songs and make them sound like they wrote them.
Pete's expendable Telecaster on "My Generation" has been broken and pieced back together before, the headstock broke off the top two keys and they mounted them on the bottom side to keep the guitar going with 6 strings for another smash job. Looks like the same Tele he was seen with in 65' numerous times when it was in better shape.
Absolutely amazing look back in time ... thanks for this. To witness the pure malevolence of Pete - while feeling the raw power of misanthropic male energy in the music - was just fantastic stuff.
Guys are more like "OK, my gf asked to come, whatta tiresome bunch of art school posers, this smartass nerdie is torturing his guitar again, I must go to prepare my exams, yawn..."
@@marguskiis7711 Lol although Townshend was the only art college member of the band. I guess you could be bored but your ears would be ringing as you walked out.
Pete learned the hard ,way you cant break fender telecasters easy, it was the same for john in a rare moment he tried to smash a fender presistion bass on stage and it bounced back , and hit in the face leaving him looking as if he d been in a fight , ritchie .
While I wasn't at this show (lived in the States) I did get to see the first Rolling Stone show in America -Swing Auditorium San Bernardino 1964. This music and the music it spawned* is what I still listen to. *Punk 1977~81, Green Day, NoMeansNo, et. al - I'll be 65 in a few weeks and this particular video sure was a treat - Thanks !
They're still lame. They still act like corpses when they see The Who in concert. They still are observers, not participants. Scientists, anthropologists, befuddled followers.
The Velvet Underground are credited with 'creating' Noise Rock in 1968. Yet here we have proof that The Who (mainly Townshend) was doing it at least two years earlier. Coincidentally, Pete and John had an ongoing competition to build a louder rig and the results are clear; the audience seems to be alternating between pain and amazement. Even Roger seems to be wondering WTF is going on: 02:03.
Did i hear c c rider audiense shouting from front row look out here is godies from 60s dressed up for enourmous Success sing along D Sandom K Moon J Entwistle K Lambert C Stamp Rip must say bravo bravo Bravissimo ☆☆☆☆☆☆
Even as long-term Who fan, I've never seen anything quite like this, in terms of what happens at the end. Strangely, Roger keeps singing throughout the destruction, and Pete seems to put some thought into it, rather than just smashing the guitar. His tuning adjustments at this point are also unusual - any theories regarding why he's doing this?
their visual presentation was sensory overload, and then there was the sound that blistered the ears.
I've never seen the Who at their peak! Million tank youse

Jimi took the torch & never looked back.

Punk way before it’s time
What a band
What I did on my summer vacation 😂
I love how Pete performs "My Generation" on what is left on the guitar's neck.

This from CBC Canada 'Take 30' was an afternoon program on Canadian television during the 1960's!
WWWOOOWWW! GREAT RECORDING !! RAW POWER GOTTA HOLD ON ME!!! MY GENERATION IS PRICELESS .....MUST BE PLAYED LOUD!!!
That night a Telecaster became a 4 string solid body ukelele, magic .
Where has this been hiding. Great stuff. Thanks for the post
Great footage… at the peak of their powers The Who were an incredible live act!
BEYOND! (゜o°)
From 1967 to 1976, The Mighty Who were considered the greatest live band. Live At Leeds 1970, nuff said.
pure raw intensity ..fantastic!!!
Moon must have just got the double bass kit after getting the idea from Ginger.

I see Telecaster
@@marguskiis7711He’s using a Rick on See see Rider
Early WHO, were definitely interior decorators I think they would rearrange your furniture with there nasty massive sound.

These recordings are priceless....thank you so much for posting them! :)
Gotta say...1966...These dudes were violent :)..
All the girls are watching Roger, all the guys are watching Townshend.
And I would have watched Keith!

Pete represented anger... which is why he totally connected with young, testosterone-filled (and beer-filled) frustrated young 1960s males.
A good era... before the perms & fringe lol...
Great. It's actually Westminster Technical College.
Brookfield we know
sweet- glam, mod, punk, blues, rock, blowing the doors off their hinges first
These kids are alright
No queda más que arrodillarse, ver y oír.
Townshends guitar is almost screaming for it's life.
MAGIC !

6:37 Gotta tune it before you smash it!
I don’t think Pete liked the Marshall’s because they distorted too soon. HiWatts were cleaner at louder volume. It worked for everyone else though…
sweating keith moon is the best ever
3:27 SATISFACTION
They got the curtains closed on them at the end.
Uma revolução musical,a qual inspirou muitas bandas, início do heavy metal
The people in the audience-- I always wonder-- where are they now? What music did they like the rest of their lives? What happened with them?
I do too. and always hope to read comments on here like..."that's me in the stripy dress" etc....

Can you dig the serious muttonchops on the bassist?

To be fair to the velvets the 🍌 album was recorded in 66 and contained some fairly heavy stuff lol
I can't take my eyes off the CBC logo
Cream played here in Oct66 and Jimmy Hendrix fresh off the boat sat in !! Why no footage of that??

Electric wow cool man
Crowd of ca 200
Mod rules or fuck off!!
There are stories of boys at shows like these picking fights with the band, because the girls are giving them so much attention.
Might have been a gd drummer but that was one weard mfkr. I can tell you
The 'orrible 'oo😏
Punk!
John Entwistle looks like he is about to start crying at 4:22.
Entwistle looked sometimes bored
My God! What a lame crowd!!!!
moshing was still a decade away........ these were buttoned down English kids at any rate
