I cant help but always smile whenever I see Keith Moon with his headphones ductaped to his head to allow him to absolutely spaz during Who performances.
The greatest moment in all rock history -- in the US -- was "The Beatles" on "Ed Sullivan" on February 9, 1964. In the UK their first LP was #1 for 30 weeks -- unprecedented. And their first was replaced at #1 by their second LP -- also unprecedented. And their success resulted in all sorts of kids buying guitars and starting bands. One later example was "The Who". They then went on to mature the music.
This is the band that INVENTED breaking guitars and the flying through the air. They also invented the use of sequencers and synthesizers which was heard on this song. They are the first punk band and wrote the first rock opera. The WHO! One of the greatest live bands and bands period, of all time.
The Moog synthesizer was adopted by 1960s rock acts including the Doors, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and Keith Emerson. Emerson was the first major rock musician to perform with the Moog and it became a trademark of his performances, helping take his band Emerson, Lake & Palmer to global stardom.
Nope - The Beatles and Keith Emerson were using Moogs before The Who - also sequencers - The Who pretty much introduced quadrophonic sound to the masses but I was hearing it before Quadrophenia was released
What do you get when you add one of the greatest vocalist/front man in Rock history, the best Bassist ever, one of the most influential lyricist/guitarists of a generation and a madman virtuoso drummer Together? You get the Who!!!
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 The brightest candles burn the quickest. Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Doors, Queen, etc. It almost feels as if their’s some cosmic price for true greatness.
Pete Townsend's signature windmill on the guitar, Roger Dahltry swinging the mic at the end of the cord, Keith Moon so into his drums that he duct taped the headphones to his head and John Entwistle's fingers flying over the frets. A Who live performance was controlled chaos.
This performance was filmed at Shepperton Studios near London to appear on a movie by The Who called "The Kids Are Alright". In the studio next to where this performance was being filmed, the move "Alien" was being filmed. The cast and crew from "Alien" took a break and went over to watch the concert by The Who. They liked the laser show at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again so much, they borrowed the laser equipment from The Who and used it in the "Alien" movie. So the next time you watch Alien, be sure to keep an eye out for The Who's lasers!
Just so you have some perspective ... the Who and all the other music from the 60s 70s and 80s is seared into the souls of every 65 thru 85 year old grandma and grandpa you know. We were there on the front lines of those concerts, hanging on every new album and premier. That guy walking slowly down the street with a cane or walker was likely at the concert you just watched. We are all glad you are finding this timeless, powerful music. We were there, and it lives in us.
When once asked about his chill stage presence compared to the other three, bassist John Entwistle replied, "If someone didn't stand still to anchor them down, they'd all fly off the stage." There's actually a clip of this same performance on UA-cam that just features his bass track, isolated, so you can truly appreciate how great his playing is here. It's worth looking up.
What most people don't realize is that Entwistle moved just as much as Townshend and Moon. It's just that all of his movement happens from his elbows to his fingertips.
Excellent song choice and beautiful reaction. The show wasn't over until Pete Townshend smashed a guitar and the tour wasn't over until drummer Keith Moon trashed a hotel room. Those were the days. A lot of people say the Muppet character Animal was patterned after Moon. He does kind of have the same mannerisms on the drums, although I've never seen Animal use duct tape to keep his headphones attached. And some people think Taylor Swift puts on an exciting show.
I’ve heard it said about the Who is they’re all playing lead. Lead vocal, lead guitar, lead bass and lead drums. And I’ve found it to be an apt description
There was nothing ordinary about The Who, excess on and off stage. Keith Moon organised to blow up his drum kit on US TV on "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" giving Pete Townsend some permanent hearing loss. He wrecked hotel rooms, blew up toilets, threw a television out of a windows into a swimming pool, getting them banned from Holiday Inns in Michigan and drove a car into a swimming pool. When he died aged just 32 in 1978, he looked like he was in his 60s. John Entwistle, addicted to drugs like Moon, died of a heart attack in 2002. Ironically, he had worked at the tax department before becoming a professional musician and when he passed away, his guitar collection and many other personal items had to be auctioned to pay a huge inheritance tax bill. Tragically, 11 fans died in a crowd crush at a Who concert in Cincinnati in 1979. Roger Daltrey (79) and Pete Townsend (78) are still performing and their most recent concert was at the end of August.
YOU have just witnessed one of the BEST PERFORMANCES in ROCK & ROLL Histotry! ! ! I was Lucky enough to attend 2 of their concerts! Brilliant Druming by Keith MOON,
yeah, AMAZING!!!! I have listened to this song and this group for 50 years and just discovered that each member is playing LEAD! the job of the bass player in a band is to 'keep a steady bass line' so when others 'stray', or improvise, or 'lose their way', they can always come back to that 'steady bass line'! John Entwhistle played his bass like a 'lead guitar'! Peter Townsend (THAT GREAT MUSICIAL GENIUS) played lead guitar and piano and Moog synthesizer!!! the lead singer SANG lead! and Keith Moon (Moon the Loon) played lead on the drums! I repeat, AMAZING!!!
These guys were one of the saples when I was in high school and college - their Quadrophenia album (which introduced a whole new kind of sound) and the rock opera "tommy" are absolutely iconic
Does anyone else ever laugh when they Moonie's headphones duct-taped to his head. Check out the Who's "The Real Me" for another epic bass line from Entwistle. Great reaction!!
All four guys led the world of rock back in the 60's and 70's. Pete Townsend (lead guitar) Roger Daltrey (vocals) John Entwhistle (bass RIP) and Keith Moon (drums RIP). They offered the musical soundtrack to the lives of many generations, and God bless them all for for it.
Some context here…this performance was filmed for the film The Kids Are Alright. This is the second time that song was being performed for the film. This song typically closed out each of The WHO’s live concerts; as such one can see how high energy it was. However, when they did take one, the film’s director told the band “you were good, but it seemed a bit low energy. Can you do it again, but this time with more energy?” The guitarist. Pete Townsend, was ready to kill the director, but was calmed down enough that the band did it again. As such, you can see how he’s demonstrating exaggerated “energy” throughout THIS performance.
I’ve been to the Shepparton Studio where this was filmed. One thing I didn’t know, Keith Moon’s drums were heavily mic’d up. He was playing much softer. That’s where I went wrong as a drummer trying to follow him. As for John Entwistle, or the Ox as he was known. The span of this arms for the bass was legendary. Glad I saw them as a whole band. There was an unscripted moment when Pete Townsend added “You know that the hypnotised never lie” he adds “Do ya”
A lot of energy. Thank you sister cocaine. Another great live from the Who is "a quick one miles he's away" live in the rock n roll circus of the Rolling Stones (1968).
It is, for the most part, the guitarists band. He wrote the music and lyrics for most of The WHO’s material. The singer and guitarist are still going and still perform!
Isn’t it great seeing someone witness this awesomeness for the first time?! Then reacting to the scream which IMO is the greatest moment in rock history!!
For those of us who grew up in this era and enjoyed their music / antics would never have believed that both Roger Daltrey & Pete Townshend would later go on to found the Teen Cancer America foundation - 👍👍👍 - featured on CBS Sunday Morning a few years ago...
Great reaction Maddy! The Who is top level rock 'n' roll. They played iconic music for decades. This song is off the Who's Next LP and every song on it was fantastic. I saw them Live in Pittsbutgh back in the 70s. One of the best concerts I've attended.
The WHO used to destroy their instruments on stage the drum set was kicked over. These guys were the rock stars, the drummer Keith Moon once drove a Rolls Royce car into a swimming pool!
Phenomenal performance! Funny how John Entwistle the bassist who doesn’t move plays about 12 notes for every one that Pete Townshend the guitarist plays lol!
The Who began in the 1960s. They (Pete Townsend & Roger Daltry) played live on Jimmy Fallon only about 6 years ago. Sadly, the drummer passed away not long after this performance, and the bassist died in 2002.
A super fun reaction from you, Maddy. ❤ This is the closing track on The Who's classic 1971 album, "Who's Next." I would suggest you listen to a live version of the album's opening track, "Baba O'Riley." 😊
The Who deserve a place at the head table. They were iconic before I really got into rock when Van Halen 1 came out in 1978 (I was 14, and then my sister gave me a Led Zeppelin IV cassette for my birthday). Everybody, not just fans, knew probably a dozen of their songs. Pete Townshend and Keith Moon most people recognized. So it made me smile when you remarked about "the guitar player on the right." I heard 37,600 people tell you his name.
Bright Angel, I saw The Who live in the early 1970s, and now I'm in my mid-70s, and my ears are still ringing. They played 3 hours with the same energy, and the tickets were premium seats at $10.00 dollars. Times have changed in music, and the cost of concerts too.
Pete Townsend is a very lively guy - he would often smash his guitar at the end of the show - you will also see him do his famous "windmill" guitar strum...and Keith Moon on drums is a show all by himself
Pete cutting his hand doing the windmill, then bleeding on the guitar, wasn't unheard of either. Also, his Les Pauls are numbered. This was #1, I think Baba O Reilly from this concert used #5.
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again ... was used as the theme song for the TV show CSI Miami. Keith moon.. A hyperactive terror. Google him. He got the band banned from Holiday Inns world wide. Nothing like throwing a TV or driving a car into the pool. Joe Walsh said of Keith Moon- “One of the most terrifying things that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.” Joe Walsh had a few crazy moments of his own. The opening lyrics of ... Life's Been Good ... include "I live in Hotels tear out the walls. i have accountants pay for it all"
The drummer, Keith Moon, was the one that all other rock stars thought was over the top. He out-rockstarred all of the others' mayhem. He once supposedly drove a Lincoln Continental into a hotel swimming pool.
I was fortunate enough to see them as a 15 year old back in 1976 playing in my home city Glasgow the line up was The Outlaws , Little Feat, And the Sensational Alex Harvey Band , The WHO . and the music 🎶 hasn’t stopped playing and hopefully it never will 🌍✌🏼
I was there, Parkhead. The lasers were a new thing in rock concerts, the plan being (I think) to bounce them off mirrors on the roof of the stadium so that crisscross effect would cover the entire skyline. Just so happened to be a glorious sunny evening (imagine - in Glasgow!) so they didn't have the desired effect. Pete did his slide across the stage tho :)
The end of a Who show was fun to watch - three of them going nuts and destroying things, and John Entwistle packing up his bass and getting out of the way as quickly as he could!
3:20 From my musician and also fan point of view, really despite surface appearances, John Entwistle on the bass, and he does a lot of other stuff and keys and so forth, but in this one bass, his overall demeanor is so calm compared to the others but if you watch what he's doing with his fingers both hands and listen to what he's doing and see all that embedded energy just flowing out of him, I would say they're equally matched between him and Pete Townshend and the others. Rodger Daltrey, the frontman, goes pretty nuts during this one too, laugh. Everybody in this band put out high dosages of energy, each in their own way, and that's what made them so cool because they were so tight while they did it together. Loving the reaction.
You have an immaculate taste of the Guys making these suggestions do, Maddy! THREE wonderful Live London performances from 3 epic English Bands. We had Dire Straits with Sultans Of Swing from ALCHEMY. Then the amazing PULSE Concert from Pink Floyd:"Comfortably Numb" and now this !!
Great song! Great reaction! I only got to see The Who in concert once, in Dallas TX. They had 2 warm up bands in front of them. A singer named Tony Joe White and a new band on the block known as ZZ Top. It was a long time ago. 😂 But I'll never forget it.
Hey Maddy. That look of horror on your face when Roger threw and caught the microphone ,or when PT smashed his guitar, made me smile and brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Maddy. Aloha from Hawaii❤️🌴❤️🌴❤️
2:20-2:25 One of the essential elements of the band was the powerful bass sound, provided by the long-haired gentleman in the far left (MY left), John Alec Entwistle. This was recognized by his bandmates, and by audiences, so what you see is a reaction, by guitarist Pete Townsend.
@@doomhippie6673 You're kidding, right? They've never stopped touring, not even the loss of the drummer and the bass player made them give up. I think they've just toured the US. Sure new material is a bit scarce but there's loads of solo stuff. 🎸🥁🎤
@@johntremmel3949they stopped in 82 dude. Came back for a one off your in 89 the who didn't come back until 96 or 97 lol. They weren't a proper band in the 80s
@@josephbuckley5961 I seen them with Stevie Ray Vaughan in the astrodome at the Miller Lite festival in 1989 and they were has I’ve said the best rock band in the world at the time
Maddy, you spot on. Great reaction to an epic song. All 4 amazing in their own rights, together priceless! The message timeless. Drummer a Lune, Roger brilliantly driving, Entwistle, well energy shown in his fingers, and Pete is just genius! Well done and thanks!
They were the greatest live band in the world at the time as well as being one of the greatest bands of all. I saw them at their peak at the Oval Cricket Ground in South London in 1972. They were STUNNING. Rod Stewart and the Faces were on just before them. They came from just up the road to me in West London and had that hard energy that London groups had - so different from the West Coast. The Stones, another London group also had that raw energy. Wonderful, wonderful times and a wonderful city to grow up in (it isn’t any more) Never to be repeated.
Yup. With the skills and antics of the other 3, John, the Bassist is often overlooked but he was an absolute beast. 😊. I believe you enjoyed this performance 😊.
Look up "ox cam" wont get fooled again, same song but just the bassist. Its a reaction video by itself and you really see him at work and can appreciate what he offered to this group. Absolute monster. Saw him live before he died, lost a good bit of my hearing over it sitting on the bass amps but so worth. Literally was 15 feet from him. My dad still has a pick of his from that show he tossed out to the crowd. My dad got his attention at the end of the show and asked for a pick pointing at me saying "its for my kid" (21+ show i wasnt supposed to be there, but i was like 11 so they made an exception) the first one some drunk asshole next to us threw back so john looked at us and gave one more to the crowd which my dad scrambled for and still has. Very cool experience. If you listen to "blues to the bush" youll hear some guy going "woohoo" thats my dad lol thats how we could tell it was the show we went to out of the 5 they pulled from.
Its so cool watching someone who really doesn't get what those days and those concerts were like. The Original members of The Who doing my favorite Who tune. It doesn't get any better than this. So glad I grew up with this.
If you’d like to listen to one of the best bass lines, in rock ‘n’ roll, play The Who, “THE REAL ME’, from their Quadrophenia album, you will not be disappointed.
John the ox Entwistle was a mammoth in bass playing history. He also played a mean French horn. The drummer is Keith Moon… Moon the Loon. Books have been written about his mad rock and roll antics. He was the one to make throwing tvs out of hotel windows and blowing hotel toilets up with cherry bombs popular. He died way too young. I loved him as the perfect role model.
If you see some footage from the Isle of Wight concert around 1970 I believe then you'll see the drummer (Keith Moon) in his full glory. He was amazing during that show.
Synthesizers, lasers, the guitar riff, the rock solid bass, the drums coming out of the break, Roger’s scream and Pete sliding across the floor. All iconic moments in rock
There is a version of this performance that splits into several panes and you can watch the amazing bass work by the legendary John Entwistle as well as Keith Moon playing so well with such a quiet upper body
One of the greatest live bands of all time. If not the best. Another great performance was during the Concert for New York after 9/11. Epic performance.
You're the best, this was so much fun, I know this was a month ago you posted this and I'm late to the party but that was so much fun. You are quite correct: THIS is THE archetype for "rock stars", absolutely The Who. And this is just them at 75%, their drummer died weeks later and he's in pretty bad shape in this clip. But in the early years he's explosive, just like Pete the guitarist/songwriter. I have to go see if you've done any more Who clips now! If not, I will be recommending some! SUPER FUN REACTION!!! :D
I saw them at a "Day on the Green" in Oakland CA in 1977 I believe. They opened for the Grateful Dead. It was the best concert I ever saw. I liked the Grateful Dead, but it was all over after The Who.
Having grown up with this music (Won't Get Fooled Again was released as I entered my Senior Year in High School) there is a part of me that envies you young Folks hearing these masterpieces for the first time.
9.24.23. They are one of the top five bands of all time! The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd! Top shelf but it’s my opinion that’s all it is🎸
I cant help but always smile whenever I see Keith Moon with his headphones ductaped to his head to allow him to absolutely spaz during Who performances.
The greatest moment of all rock music. The irony, all out angst! What artistry!
The greatest moment in all rock history -- in the US -- was "The Beatles" on "Ed Sullivan" on February 9, 1964. In the UK their first LP was #1 for 30 weeks -- unprecedented. And their first was replaced at #1 by their second LP -- also unprecedented.
And their success resulted in all sorts of kids buying guitars and starting bands. One later example was "The Who".
They then went on to mature the music.
The bassist John Entwistle is very stoic and one of the GREATEST bassists EVER!
So good!!!
@@MaddyReactions The Drummer, Keith Moon is also insanely good. He plays drums like a lead instrument.
You can hear some isolated track bass of this show on YT. John Entwistle was a beast 🤩
He was known as The Ox for good reason!
THE greatest.
This is the band that INVENTED breaking guitars and the flying through the air. They also invented the use of sequencers and synthesizers which was heard on this song. They are the first punk band and wrote the first rock opera. The WHO! One of the greatest live bands and bands period, of all time.

They paid the price too. Only two left.

Unquestionably.
Yes
Agree

Surprised his arm didn't fall off then lol
Recall his line “I ain’t quiet - everyone else is too loud.”
Yep. He didn’t have time to be jumping around. He was busy.
Only time I saw his feet move was when he was dodging shrapnel from exploding drums. There was also an occasional duck to avoid flying mics
The ox

"Do you" is on the studio LP as well. It just comes in after a more lengthy pause.
After a pause and much less pronounced but definitely on the original album version
Iconic song from the legendary The Who 🇬🇧 ! The organ riff 🎹 & guitar 🎸 Awesome 👌 !
A lot of energy. Thank you sister cocaine.
Another great live from the Who is "a quick one miles he's away" live in the rock n roll circus of the Rolling Stones (1968).
Was fortunate enough to see The Who twice back in their prime. Awesome shows.
It is, for the most part, the guitarists band. He wrote the music and lyrics for most of The WHO’s material. The singer and guitarist are still going and still perform!
"Alexa, what does four pounds of pure cocaine look like on a concert stage?" God, I love this band.

Bright Angel, I saw The Who live in the early 1970s, and now I'm in my mid-70s, and my ears are still ringing. They played 3 hours with
the same energy, and the tickets were premium seats at $10.00 dollars. Times have changed in music, and the cost of concerts
too.
Experts in high energy rock, 4 shows in 1, my favorite of all time! PERIOD!
Greatest Rock Band Ever
The Who, “Young Man Blues” at the Isle of Wight in 1970.
😮
Pete Townsend is a very lively guy - he would often smash his guitar at the end of the show - you will also see him do his famous "windmill" guitar strum...and Keith Moon on drums is a show all by himself
Pete cutting his hand doing the windmill, then bleeding on the guitar, wasn't unheard of either. Also, his Les Pauls are numbered. This was #1, I think Baba O Reilly from this concert used #5.
Someone wrote “God himself could replace Daltrey and you’d still have to watch Townshend.”
John Entwistle was split the greatest bass player in rock history . . So laid back and unassuming . My favourite, coolest bassist ever . !
And they would keep that energy up for almost 2 hours
Wow!!!
@@MaddyReactionsyes, thanks to lot of "snow" for the whole group + alcohol for my adorable Moonie... In 60's, 70's they didn't use redbull u know....
The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again ... was used as the theme song for the TV show CSI Miami. Keith moon.. A hyperactive terror. Google him. He got the band banned from Holiday Inns world wide. Nothing like throwing a TV or driving a car into the pool. Joe Walsh said of Keith Moon- “One of the most terrifying things that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.” Joe Walsh had a few crazy moments of his own. The opening lyrics of ... Life's Been Good ... include "I live in Hotels tear out the walls. i have accountants pay for it all"
The drummer, Keith Moon, was the one that all other rock stars thought was over the top. He out-rockstarred all of the others' mayhem. He once supposedly drove a Lincoln Continental into a hotel swimming pool.
I was fortunate enough to see them as a 15 year old back in 1976 playing in my home city Glasgow the line up was The Outlaws , Little Feat, And the Sensational Alex Harvey Band , The WHO . and the music 🎶 hasn’t stopped playing and hopefully it never will 🌍✌🏼
I was there, Parkhead. The lasers were a new thing in rock concerts, the plan being (I think) to bounce them off mirrors on the roof of the stadium so that crisscross effect would cover the entire skyline. Just so happened to be a glorious sunny evening (imagine - in Glasgow!) so they didn't have the desired effect. Pete did his slide across the stage tho :)
The end of a Who show was fun to watch - three of them going nuts and destroying things, and John Entwistle packing up his bass and getting out of the way as quickly as he could!
The bassist John Entwistle also played the organ solo.
The Who is Always entertaining!!! And Amazingly LOUD... RIP John...
3:20 From my musician and also fan point of view, really despite surface appearances, John Entwistle on the bass, and he does a lot of other stuff and keys and so forth, but in this one bass, his overall demeanor is so calm compared to the others but if you watch what he's doing with his fingers both hands and listen to what he's doing and see all that embedded energy just flowing out of him, I would say they're equally matched between him and Pete Townshend and the others. Rodger Daltrey, the frontman, goes pretty nuts during this one too, laugh.
Everybody in this band put out high dosages of energy, each in their own way, and that's what made them so cool because they were so tight while they did it together.
Loving the reaction.
Fast forward about 2 minutes and you are saying pretty much the same thing.❤
Love the who . Were great 👍 and still are great 👍. Seen them live and they have big time energy ❤
You have an immaculate taste of the Guys making these suggestions do, Maddy!
THREE wonderful Live London performances from 3 epic English Bands. We had Dire Straits with Sultans Of Swing from ALCHEMY. Then the amazing PULSE Concert from Pink Floyd:"Comfortably Numb" and now this !!
Great song! Great reaction! I only got to see The Who in concert once, in Dallas TX. They had 2 warm up bands in front of them. A singer named Tony Joe White and a new band on the block known as ZZ Top. It was a long time ago. 😂 But I'll never forget it.
Hey Maddy.
That look of horror on your face when Roger threw and caught the microphone ,or when PT smashed his guitar, made me smile and brought a tear to my eye.
Thanks Maddy.
Aloha from Hawaii❤️🌴❤️🌴❤️
😂🩷
2:20-2:25 One of the essential elements of the band was the powerful bass sound, provided by the long-haired gentleman in the far left (MY left), John Alec Entwistle. This was recognized by his bandmates, and by audiences, so what you see is a reaction, by guitarist Pete Townsend.
From 1979 until 1989 the WHO were the best live rock band in the world👊
really? I doubt that as basically stopped performing and recording in 1979....
@@doomhippie6673
You're kidding, right?
They've never stopped touring, not even the loss of the drummer and the bass player made them give up. I think they've just toured the US. Sure new material is a bit scarce but there's loads of solo stuff. 🎸🥁🎤
@@doomhippie6673 no they didn’t they toured throughout the 80s Kenny jones replaced Keith Moon and they were the shit👊
@@johntremmel3949they stopped in 82 dude. Came back for a one off your in 89 the who didn't come back until 96 or 97 lol. They weren't a proper band in the 80s
@@josephbuckley5961 I seen them with Stevie Ray Vaughan in the astrodome at the Miller Lite festival in 1989 and they were has I’ve said the best rock band in the world at the time
Maddy, you spot on. Great reaction to an epic song. All 4 amazing in their own rights, together priceless!
The message timeless.
Drummer a Lune, Roger brilliantly driving, Entwistle, well energy shown in his fingers, and Pete is just genius!
Well done and thanks!
They were the greatest live band in the world at the time as well as being one of the greatest bands of all. I saw them at their peak at the Oval Cricket Ground in South London in 1972. They were STUNNING. Rod Stewart and the Faces were on just before them. They came from just up the road to me in West London and had that hard energy that London groups had - so different from the West Coast. The Stones, another London group also had that raw energy. Wonderful, wonderful times and a wonderful city to grow up in (it isn’t any more) Never to be repeated.
Days before they had holograms, and computer created effects. The band had to entertain you, the Who certainly did that.
Yup. With the skills and antics of the other 3, John, the Bassist is often overlooked but he was an absolute beast. 😊.
I believe you enjoyed this performance 😊.
Thank you for a real reaction. Subscribed. Take care!
Look up "ox cam" wont get fooled again, same song but just the bassist. Its a reaction video by itself and you really see him at work and can appreciate what he offered to this group. Absolute monster. Saw him live before he died, lost a good bit of my hearing over it sitting on the bass amps but so worth. Literally was 15 feet from him. My dad still has a pick of his from that show he tossed out to the crowd. My dad got his attention at the end of the show and asked for a pick pointing at me saying "its for my kid" (21+ show i wasnt supposed to be there, but i was like 11 so they made an exception) the first one some drunk asshole next to us threw back so john looked at us and gave one more to the crowd which my dad scrambled for and still has. Very cool experience. If you listen to "blues to the bush" youll hear some guy going "woohoo" thats my dad lol thats how we could tell it was the show we went to out of the 5 they pulled from.
Its so cool watching someone who really doesn't get what those days and those concerts were like. The Original members of The Who doing my favorite Who tune. It doesn't get any better than this. So glad I grew up with this.
❤️
If you’d like to listen to one of the best bass lines, in rock ‘n’ roll, play The Who, “THE REAL ME’, from their Quadrophenia album, you will not be disappointed.
Lead Bass 😊
John the ox Entwistle was a mammoth in bass playing history. He also played a mean French horn.
The drummer is Keith Moon… Moon the Loon. Books have been written about his mad rock and roll antics. He was the one to make throwing tvs out of hotel windows and blowing hotel toilets up with cherry bombs popular. He died way too young. I loved him as the perfect role model.
I was waiting for that jump/kneeslide reaction.
Legendary.
If you see some footage from the Isle of Wight concert around 1970 I believe then you'll see the drummer (Keith Moon) in his full glory. He was amazing during that show.
Waited the whole video for your reaction to "the scream" and you didn't disappoint; look on your face was amazing!
Saw them twice in the 70's. Absolutely one of THE GREATEST rock bands in the world!!
Great song to wake up to! Loving the contrast between your amazed-at-the-bass stank face and your delight at the antics of the other bandmembers!
Synthesizers, lasers, the guitar riff, the rock solid bass, the drums coming out of the break, Roger’s scream and Pete sliding across the floor. All iconic moments in rock
Here's a suggestion for another Who song from the same concert -- "Baba O'Reilly". You can't go wrong with rock Legends like The Who.
The studio version is so much better than the live because you get the haunting violin sound.
Yeah, The Who defined "Rock Star" for many. Bigger than life.
I saw The Who live when I was 12 back in their peak, it was MINDBLOWING!
There is a version of this performance that splits into several panes and you can watch the amazing bass work by the legendary John Entwistle as well as Keith Moon playing so well with such a quiet upper body
Hi, Maddy🙂
I love your glasses - they look great !
Great reaction! 🤓
The Who wrote the book. The greatest rock band of them all.
One of the greatest live bands of all time. If not the best. Another great performance was during the Concert for New York after 9/11. Epic performance.
Grand Funk Railroad, Inside Looking Out (they were the biggest band in the world briefly, late 60s) LIVE VERSION ONLY!
You're the best, this was so much fun, I know this was a month ago you posted this and I'm late to the party but that was so much fun. You are quite correct: THIS is THE archetype for "rock stars", absolutely The Who. And this is just them at 75%, their drummer died weeks later and he's in pretty bad shape in this clip. But in the early years he's explosive, just like Pete the guitarist/songwriter. I have to go see if you've done any more Who clips now! If not, I will be recommending some! SUPER FUN REACTION!!! :D
I saw them at a "Day on the Green" in Oakland CA in 1977 I believe. They opened for the Grateful Dead. It was the best concert I ever saw. I liked the Grateful Dead, but it was all over after The Who.
Cat & Dog indeed! You deserve a million thumbs up for that one!
I'm so glad you got to watch this Maddy - this is a rock show from the 70s at its finest
Having grown up with this music (Won't Get Fooled Again was released as I entered my Senior Year in High School) there is a part of me that envies you young Folks hearing these masterpieces for the first time.
Classic rock, beautiful ❤❤❤
9.24.23. They are one of the top five bands of all time! The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd! Top shelf but it’s my opinion that’s all it is🎸
Talking Heads live concert, Stop Making Sense.
The Who are a deep dive and Rock LEGENDS!!!
Your in for a treat. I grew up with these guys. Saw them live with Moon on the drums, sadly gone too young😢
Iconic Drummer Keith Moon One of the very best! He was a Master of the Cymbals
