Welcome to what we people who are are in our 60s and 70s grew up listening to. And this was just one of so many different Bands in this era. Rolling Stones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and on and on. We were spoiled man. There is nothing like it these days. The super band era is over with, but like good classic movies, Classic Rock, is forever here on vinyl and digital recording. There is an endless supply of music from the mid 1960s to about 1983, that is what's known as "The Classic Rock" era. Thanks fellas
We were spoiled. We wee so spoiled that it took me years to appreciate just how great The Who and The Kinks were, and also to get into Pink Floyd. They were overshadowed for me by The Beatles and Cream and Hendrix.
Great reaction lads. I think the line at the end of the song, " Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss" is just as relevant and prophetic today as it was when I first heard it live in London 50 years ago. Sad really. Nothing ever changes. :)
There is an isolated bass youtube video of this song, as well as a full band video recorded at the same time (Trident Studios, 1978). Entwistle was integral to The Who's sound, and can't be replaced
The last half of this song is like a freight train that seems like it is gonna derail at any minute, but they keep somehow keep it on the track. One of their best. Keith Moon was a crazed drummer as well as a crazed person, spent his whole short life that way.
My dad introduced me to Emerson Lake and Palmer, the who, the Beatles, the Rollingstones, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd... And the only rock band that I liked in today's generation is from Black Veil Brides... But the other so called Rock and Roll bands doesn't Rock like back in the day and I love drums thanks to ELP... another band you guys should react... Just 3 man band and I mean 3 freaking guys rocking out
The Who made an incredible rock-opera movie called "Tommy." Everybody needs to see it at least once. Elton John, Ann Margaret, and Oliver Reed among others.
The keys are a backing track when they play live .. and when they play live they are a totally different band .. one of the best live bands to ever hit a stage.
Let's put a finer point on this. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is objectively the greatest rock song of all time. If there are more than 3 other rivals for that title, I'd be stunned. It's pure genius. Even its theme -- rebellion and question authority -- totally reflects the spirit of rock and roll. When Ryan luke-warmly said "I like it," I was almost offended!
@@ViewsFromThe502 Your honesty is appreciated! To be fair, it's easier for a Gen-Xer like myself to have context for The Who's genius. A Millennial hearing this song for the first time might have a hard time, on first reaction, appreciating its greatness. If you review other Who classics -- like "Love Reign O'er Me," "Baba O'Riley" or "Who Are You" -- you'll have more context for why the band is so revered by musical experts.
Yes this is an epic song. Underappreciated here is Pete's timing and impeccable power chords. This is not just a good song, it's an extraordinary song.
Moonie played "lead drums" the way Pete Townshend played lead guitar. He was not interest in merely keeping the beat. His work on the album "Quadrophenia" is legendary.
I saw them many times live in Britain in the late1960's and 70's. The greatest rock band of them all and perhaps this is the greatest rock song of all.
LONG LIVE THE WHO!!!! PETE, ROGER, JOHN AND KEITH. Who Are You, Love Reign Oer Me, The Real Me, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Join Together....list goes on and on and on. Rog has always been fit.
While Pete did play those keyboards, on stage they played live to the prerecorded keyboard track. Keith Moon used to wear headphones to keep the band in synch with the backing track.
The Who is the only band ever to have a lead singer, lead guitarist, lead bassist, and lead drummer. Won't Get Fooled Again, Rock's anthem, is proof of it. The song is an anti-revolution song, in the same vein as the Beatles' Revolution.
Yeah... I apologize, I wrote also mentioned 'Revolution', missed your post (being a new subscriber). I feel the same. I also mentioned 'Street Fighting Man' of The Stones.
"What was Keith Moon on?" As I understand it, pretty much everything, but especially alcohol. Man never met restraint in his life. I've seen the Who twice, once with all members alive in my lifetime and once shortly after John Entwistle died. The first tour was specifically 'all of Quadrophenia,' which they needed a ~20-piece orchestra to do live. Their go-to drummer from that tour onward, Zak Starkey, is Ringo Starr's son, for added musical trivia. All of Who's Next and Quadrophenia are worth diving into.
I saw them 11 times while Keith was alive. I didn’t cry over Jim, Janis or Jimi but I wept when Keith died because my favorite band was no more. When John Bonham died it wasn’t the same. Keith and John were monsters of their craft but Keith was the unpredictable loon who was likely to do anything. He pulled down the back of his pants to show us his Union Jack undies at one concert. He’d knock over stands accidentally from pure frenzy and then intentionally to wind up some shows.
It's said Keith Moon would take any drug offered him, by the handful. Ironically he died from an overdose of the medication given to alcoholics to stop drinking. He had been clean for a short bit but went to a party and indulged. After, at home he took a mass of the medication to stop the craving. It slowed his breathing & stopped his heart. Such a tragedy, he was one of the best drummers in rock n roll.
I just saw the LIVE version of this song on here. Wow, they all are kicking butt...Keith Moon is amazing, as is the bass player having to keep up with him. They were amazing. I miss those days...
I was lucky enough to see the Who 4 times before either Moon or Entwistle passed away. Moon had a drum kit with about 50 cymbals in it and he had them moving all at the same time. He was beyond incredible. Entwistle was, rightfully named the most significant bass player of the 20th century because of not only his playing, but string designs as well.
Thanks USA for giving the world rock n roll and the blues, English bands just gave it back ie Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, the Who, ect. Big hello from Perth Australia 😎🖐🦘🎵🎶🎵
In 1973 I queued all night for tickets to see The Who at the Newcastle Odeon in England - fantastic concert - check out "Young Man Blues" at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.
Roger Daltrey with the ethereal lead vocals, Pete Townshend with the lead guitar, who by the way wrote this and most of the Who songs, John Entwistle on the great bass and the madman drummer Keith Moon. One of the greatest bands of all time, right up there with the Beatles, Stones, Led Zep and Pink Floyd.
About Keith Moon, I've seen some interviews with Pete where he joked that he was more of rhythm guitarist rather than lead because Moon's drumming drove all the songs while he and Entwistle tried to keep the songs from spinning off into the orbit caused by Moon's gravitational pull.
Two more songs by The Who that you have to do: "Love Reign O'er Me", where Roger Daltrey's vocals are the star; and "The Real Me", a song driven by John Entwistle's bass. "Baba O'Riley" is another can't miss classic.
New subscriber here. Enjoy your classic rock journey, boys. For Won't Get Fooled Again, arguably the greatest rock song ever, the lyrics are still relevant today and are as important as the amazing music. It's a straight rocker that is serious social commentary. The variable sound level keyboard solo is so mesmerizing. Best vocal done by Daltrey, best guitar work of Townshend's long career (he's very underrated) and the best drumming by Moon. Entwistle's bass is always boss.
Commenting on the album cover. They pissed on that block. They were asking, who’s next to piss on it. Keith didn’t loose his mind. He was just crazy all the time.
One of my favorite bands of all time, Townshend is a musical genius. Easily one of the greatest composers in the last 50 years. This is their Magnum Opus
Fun fact: Baba O'Riley (first also used Behind Blue Eyes) Don't Get Fooled Again Who Are You are used on the opening scene CSI: New York, CSI: Miami and CSI: Las Vegas
The first time I saw them on TV was as a child. They were on the Smothers Brothers show. They ended their song with Keith Moon (who had brought some dynomite and put it in his bass drum) exploding the entire set! Andy and Alex have a UA-cam show that features the crazy things that Keith Moon did during their tours. I'm surprised that he lived through a few of them! It's called "Keith Moon--Crazy Rock Stories/The Who." Keith was the first in the group to die. I need to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think it's just Pete and Roger now.
Hi guys. First time on your channel and loved it. I've seen the Who twice and they just blow you away, but its great hearing the data you provide as well. Please consider watching Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Texas Flood live at El Mocambo. I promise you it really is something special. You will see a master at work. Oh and Happy New Year from England. 🇺🇲🇬🇧🎸
Definitely watch a live video, my suggestions are Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight, Summertime Blues or Sparks from Woodstock, or anything from Tanglewood. If you really want to see some craziness, watch their performance of A Quick One While He's Away from the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus.
There is a "Paul is Dead" clue in this song. The verse towards the end says "The parting on the left, is now a parting on the right." (the part in Paul's hair). "Their beards have all grown longer overnight" (the dramatic change in the look of the band. Beards to call attention away from Paul's changed face). Apparently, there are clues outside the Beatle's Lps. Just thought it was interesting.
Keith Moon was known as "Moon the Loon" as in lunatic. His sanity was frequently a question for debate. That said, he was one hell of a drummer who wasn't keen on following convention.
Joe Walsh was asked what was the scariest thing that happened to him while touring with the Eagles. He said that it was when Keith Moon told him that I like you.
In the middle of watching this on my tv…funny hearing you guys talk about Keith Moon. This guy was crazy. He was funny as hell and would make the guys in the band laugh just by making faces…but he would get on the guy’s nerves because he would never play the drums the same way on each song! He just played however he felt like at the time. He was all over the place like you guys said. Check out “I Can See For Miles”. He was all over the place on the drums on that one. John Entwhistle was a master on the bass, one of the best ever. It was funny because he stood still as a lamp post, while Pete would fly his arms in circles around the guitar, Roger would spin the microphone , and Keith was just wild. Animal, the drummer from the muppets was styled after Keith, lol. Entwhistle, along with Chris Squire of “Yes” and Geddy Lee from Rush are incredible bass players. This song is considered one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time. The keyboard solo at the end is amazing. I just saw them again about a year ago. Roger Daltrey, the singer, he is 80 years old and is totally ripped. Still sings on stage with his shirt open. The guy is in crazy good shape. Not just for an 80 year old. He looks like a 37 year old pro athlete. The Who once got into an argument at a festival with Jimi Hendrix because they didn’t want to go on stage right after him. Can you blame them though? Nobody wanted to follow Jimi. Today, the band is considered one of the best Rock bands of all time. An incredible discography. Great live performances. They are right up there with the Stones and Led Zeppelin. There are too many songs to request from them. But if you are into wild drumming, check out “I can see for miles” next. Thanks guys.
The first use of a programmed synthesizer for more than a few notes as Pete daisy-chained a number of units to form a crazy monster. You can notice that it is a progression, and not a repetition.
The keyboard/organ player is some guy from the U.S. I believe. It is what I recall Pete Townshend saying back then when they did this song in the studio.
@Barstool Prophet agree my friend it just a matter of choice Gene Krupa was also one of my drumming hero’s played with Glenn Miller a big band introduced to as a young man by my father. I guess it’s all about time and influences but I hear what you say and have no argument
Omg, "it's like Star Wars!" ... that one had me, lol. I kinda see it a bit like a reaction to songs like 'Revolution' (The Beatles) and 'Street Fighting Man' (The Rolling Stones)... a bit of the same vibe or a confirmation of that. From "We don't get fooled again... BUT when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out" or "We don't get fooled again... BUT what can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band" to "We don't get fooled again... BUT when you meet the new boss... he's the same as the old boss." Those 1960s hopes for a real change... but... how? by whom? for what reason? will anything really change at all? (Apologies, just blabbering...)
The WHO….. “The Kids Are Alright” Tour 1989. Rich Stadium Buffalo N.Y…….. AWESOME After the concert the Who were being interviewed on the local radio station and the DJ asked the band…. “So what do you think about that new RAP music coming out”…. Roger Daltrey laughed and started to answer when John Entwistle said….. “let me answer this one….. It seems to me that if you can’t write music, can’t play music, can’t sing music, if you know absolutely nothing at all about music, well then, you do rap now don’t you”….. Then. Pete Townshend said….. “If Hitler was going to come back and torture the world again he would use rap music. Roger Daltrey laughed and said…. “Isn’t that the truth”
The story goes, Jimmy Page played a tape for Keith Moon of a new band he was putting together. It's said that Moon listened to it and Page asked him, "What do you think?" Moon was less than impressed and replied, "You guys are going to go over like a lead zeppelin."
The synth track Pete created 50 years ago is still played on a tape machine for concerts today, with the drummer wearing headphones and using the synth part as a click track. Pete does not normally play synth or any keyboards live. He’s strictly guitar.
I’m not talking about this song in particular & I know very little about The Who, but I did see Pete play piano on TV live during Teenage Wasteland probably about 10 years ago or so. I have that memory & maybe that was a rare occasion.
@@TheRealTyHicks He certainly does play piano, as you can see in The Who Are You studio vid, and he may well have played piano in concert as you say, but that is definitely the exception and not something he normally does. Their main touring keyboardist for years has been John “Rabbit” Bundrick, but apparently he and Roger have some issues so he’s not currently touring with them anymore.
The late, GREAT John Entwhistle, one of the greatest bass guitarists in rock history. God rest him.
He definitely earned the nickname "Thunderfingers"
I'm sure with him, moon, Lennon, Jim Morrison, Freddie Mercury, now with David Bowie, Eddie Van Halen I'm sure they're all rocking out up in Heaven and I forgot to mention Jon Bonham

The formula was simple. Keith Moon did a drum solo and Townshend wrote a song around it.
Strike that, reverse it.

Neil Peart
Bonzo of Led Zeppelin!

One of the greatest groups ever. Saw them 2019 with 40 pc orchestra and they absolutely rocked the whole time
My favorite Who song. I have seen them 3 times in concert.

I saw them live twice in Chicago and it's hard to disagree with you. 👍♥️😎
Prince hands down

Meet the New Boss, the same as the old Boss, how True.
The last half of this song is like a freight train that seems like it is gonna derail at any minute, but they keep somehow keep it on the track. One of their best. Keith Moon was a crazed drummer as well as a crazed person, spent his whole short life that way.
The Who is a badass band from way back. Im glad the young generations are listening to the best music ever made. Today is garbage.
Just a suggestion man have a listen to Nightwish

Saw them live in 1974 at a festival in Charlton London, boy they blow your mind when you see them live got to be one of the best live bands ever
First concert to use Lasers in the light show.
Perfect song for what's going on in today's world
Absolutely right!!
The Who made an incredible rock-opera movie called "Tommy." Everybody needs to see it at least once.
Elton John, Ann Margaret, and Oliver Reed among others.
Featuring probably the greatest scream in rock history . Jim Morrison of the Doors is a close second in "When The Music's Over".
a great album from 1971, and yes the bass is incredible on this, john entwhistle was a superb bass player
Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world......EVER.
The keys are a backing track when they play live .. and when they play live they are a totally different band .. one of the best live bands to ever hit a stage.

I always thought 'Animal' from the Muppets was based on the legendary and late drummer from The Who, Keith Moon (God rest him, the crazy bugger).
Me too!! Animal is just like watching Keith play. Bloody brilliant
I saw them many times live in Britain in the late1960's and 70's. The greatest rock band of them all and perhaps this is the greatest rock song of all.

There is also a movie based on their double album Tommy. It starts Elton John, Tina Turner, the who of course, and many many many other top stars.
I believe Mr Moon was "on" just about anything he could get his hands on
Including horse tranquilizer
Joe Walsh was asked what was the scariest thing that happened to him while touring with the Eagles. He said that it was when Keith Moon told him that I like you.
You really need to see the live Shepperton Studios of this song! Keith Moons last ever gig with the band,,,,he died a few weeks later...
Basically Keith played an entire song of fills with a few breaks and a couple of bars of beat.
In the middle of watching this on my tv…funny hearing you guys talk about Keith Moon. This guy was crazy. He was funny as hell and would make the guys in the band laugh just by making faces…but he would get on the guy’s nerves because he would never play the drums the same way on each song! He just played however he felt like at the time. He was all over the place like you guys said. Check out “I Can See For Miles”. He was all over the place on the drums on that one. John Entwhistle was a master on the bass, one of the best ever. It was funny because he stood still as a lamp post, while Pete would fly his arms in circles around the guitar, Roger would spin the microphone , and Keith was just wild. Animal, the drummer from the muppets was styled after Keith, lol. Entwhistle, along with Chris Squire of “Yes” and Geddy Lee from Rush are incredible bass players. This song is considered one of the greatest classic rock songs of all time. The keyboard solo at the end is amazing. I just saw them again about a year ago. Roger Daltrey, the singer, he is 80 years old and is totally ripped. Still sings on stage with his shirt open. The guy is in crazy good shape. Not just for an 80 year old. He looks like a 37 year old pro athlete. The Who once got into an argument at a festival with Jimi Hendrix because they didn’t want to go on stage right after him. Can you blame them though? Nobody wanted to follow Jimi. Today, the band is considered one of the best Rock bands of all time. An incredible discography. Great live performances. They are right up there with the Stones and Led Zeppelin. There are too many songs to request from them. But if you are into wild drumming, check out “I can see for miles” next. Thanks guys.
you must watch it live!! all of the who lives are amazing!!!
I honestly think The Who are the best four-piece ever. Whose next is probably the best album but you also need to listen to Love Rain O're me
Top 5 greatest rock song ever! LOOOVVVEEEE!🙌
Just to say that is "Love Reign O'er Me" and it is superb, so you definitely have it right there!
When they tour, often it is ZAK STARKEY on drums. (He's Ringo Star's son if you didn't know)
And Keith actually taught Zak!
@@gaiusvindex959 Yeah, Ringo and Keith were great pals.
Keith Moon's madness was always right on tempo!
My favorite Who song is They Call me the Seeker.
The first use of a programmed synthesizer for more than a few notes as Pete daisy-chained a number of units to form a crazy monster. You can notice that it is a progression, and not a repetition.
l think the Muppets "Animal" character was based on Keith Moon ! 🙂
The keyboard/organ player is some guy from the U.S. I believe. It is what I recall Pete Townshend saying back then when they did this song in the studio.
Kieth Moon John Bonham Buddy Rich the holy trinity of drummers
@Barstool Prophet agree my friend it just a matter of choice Gene Krupa was also one of my drumming hero’s played with Glenn Miller a big band introduced to as a young man by my father. I guess it’s all about time and influences but I hear what you say and have no argument
I recommend watching Pete's performance of this song live at the "Secret Policeman's Ball"
An excellent all-accoustic version.
The BEST DANMED ROCK AND ROLL SCREAM !!!!! Of all time !!!
Roger put out the Greatest, most legendary Scream (yell) in Rock and roll history
Omg, "it's like Star Wars!" ... that one had me, lol.
I kinda see it a bit like a reaction to songs like 'Revolution' (The Beatles) and 'Street Fighting Man' (The Rolling Stones)... a bit of the same vibe or a confirmation of that. From "We don't get fooled again... BUT when you talk about destruction, don't you know that you can count me out" or "We don't get fooled again... BUT what can a poor boy do except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band" to "We don't get fooled again... BUT when you meet the new boss... he's the same as the old boss." Those 1960s hopes for a real change... but... how? by whom? for what reason? will anything really change at all? (Apologies, just blabbering...)
This band was great on first base.
The WHO….. “The Kids Are Alright” Tour 1989. Rich Stadium Buffalo N.Y…….. AWESOME
After the concert the Who were being interviewed on the local radio station and the DJ asked the band…. “So what do you think about that new RAP music coming out”…. Roger Daltrey laughed and started to answer when John Entwistle said….. “let me answer this one….. It seems to me that if you can’t write music, can’t play music, can’t sing music, if you know absolutely nothing at all about music, well then, you do rap now don’t you”….. Then. Pete Townshend said….. “If Hitler was going to come back and torture the world again he would use rap music. Roger Daltrey laughed and said…. “Isn’t that the truth”
The story goes, Jimmy Page played a tape for Keith Moon of a new band he was putting together. It's said that Moon listened to it and Page asked him, "What do you think?" Moon was less than impressed and replied, "You guys are going to go over like a lead zeppelin."
The synth track Pete created 50 years ago is still played on a tape machine for concerts today, with the drummer wearing headphones and using the synth part as a click track. Pete does not normally play synth or any keyboards live. He’s strictly guitar.
I’m not talking about this song in particular & I know very little about The Who, but I did see Pete play piano on TV live during Teenage Wasteland probably about 10 years ago or so. I have that memory & maybe that was a rare occasion.
@@TheRealTyHicks He certainly does play piano, as you can see in The Who Are You studio vid, and he may well have played piano in concert as you say, but that is definitely the exception and not something he normally does. Their main touring keyboardist for years has been John “Rabbit” Bundrick, but apparently he and Roger have some issues so he’s not currently touring with them anymore.
Rabbit plays the keys live
If you haven't done it you guys should do "Love Reign O'er Me"
