7:37 to 7:56. Keith Moon's drum solo, Roger Daltrey's scream, Pete Townshend's knee slide and John Entwistle's backstep :). All in 20 seconds. What a band! What a gas!
As the OX just stands by equipment, that is what I do , holding down the Low End My friends Dad said I needed to move around , I just stood like the OX
The Who is my 80 year old father's absolute favorite band, so I've been listening to them for 50 years. Whenever I'm with him and The Who is on the radio or playing anywhere. He says " do you know who this is?". Then I say "who?". He thinks it's hilarious every single time. Dad jokes. It's so Abbott and Costello.
He is the absolute master! I also like Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead who is also a master, some similarities, but less 'rock'! It was John who got me into the bass......thanks, John!
I'm a bassist of 45 years. His stuff isn't that intricate and or hard to play. It's his phrasing (if you know what that is) his tone, his attack, that for me, set's him above the rest.. His tone was so dynamic. It covered the spectrum. He fingers were very long, he had piano player fingers that were made of flexible steel.. I met him once, shook his hand, showed him my Alembic. His hand wrapped around the neck and my hand - twice. Never be another like him..
Absolutely! John Entwistle, the bassist for The Who, was often referred to as "The Ox" because of his sturdy stage presence and seemingly unshakeable demeanor. But beneath that calm exterior was a whirlwind of creativity and technical prowess. Entwistle revolutionized the role of the bass in rock music. Before him, bass was often relegated to the background, simply providing rhythm and foundation. Entwistle, however, approached the bass as a lead instrument, crafting intricate lines that were both rhythmically complex and melodically rich. A few characteristics that made his style unique include: Lead Bass Approach: He often played solos and intricate fills, complementing Pete Townshend's rhythm guitar. Tone: He had a treble-heavy tone, allowing his bass lines to cut through the mix and be clearly audible. Finger Technique: Instead of the more common fingerstyle or slap techniques, he often used a plectrum (pick), which gave his playing a distinctive sound. Harmonics: Entwistle was known for using harmonics in his bass lines, adding a unique sonic texture. Songs like "The Real Me," "Baba O'Riley," and "My Generation" showcase his innovative bass work. Despite his impressive technical abilities, he never seemed to break a sweat on stage, making everything look utterly effortless. For many bass players and music enthusiasts, John Entwistle remains a significant influence and one of the greatest bassists in rock history.
Agreed, Eddie VH was so taken by it that he was able to reintroduce it Eddie style. Shout out to Chuck Berry, we're not forgetting your iconic Chicken strut.
A frontman marching in place while belting out notes and words and twirling a microphone. A guitarist bouncing around and windmilling like a human cartoon. A drummer exploding like a mad conductor over the kit. A bassist barely moving while playing blistering licks like it’s nothing. The Who were, are and will always be amazing.
I've always admired Entwistle's ability to look so relaxed even when he was totally tearing up the bass. He could be putting on a hell of a performance, and it looks effortless because he has this expression like he's watching a weather report.
So true. If you ever listen to The Ox's isolated bass tracks from recordings like these - you will certainly hear just how much and how hard he is playing.
I saw The Who for the first time in 1975 at age fifteen. I was blown away. Completely. The next year they didn't play Atlanta but I heard they were playing in Jacksonville at the Gator Bowl. Me and my buddy decided we had to see the show. This was summer of '76. So we told his mom he was going camping with my family and I told my mom I was going camping with his family. Lol. And we got out on I-85 and started hitch hiking our way to Jacksonville. Our first ride was some guys in a Camaro from St. Louis. They were cool as shit. A cooler of beer in the back seat and some ganga. They drove us all the way to Jacksonville. Saw the show and made it back home on Sunday night just in time. God Bless those guys in the Camaro. Lol.
Those were indeed the days fellow American, and Georgian, can we bring those free wheeling hopeful days back again? The innocence has been molested but Yeshua can make us whole again. They pit us at each other's throats by highlighting any and every difference we have in society , we are balkanized, we must overcome our programming, only then can you even begin to realize the shape of things. We need a revival of hearts, before the man comes to town
WE are the first and probably the only bad ass grandparents for many generations to come. The 70-80's was a unique and very special era both musically and socially
One of the greatest moments in rock ‘n’ roll history, and they got it on video!! a moment in time captured forever and Keith moons last performance. GET IT!!!
Pure love your words pal lm hear in 🏴 Scotland 🏴 l saw the who here in Glasgow Celtic football ground when I was 17 they were amazing but they never were the same once moon past away rip 🏴a Scot looking in 🏴
I went to see Roger Daltrey last night in Boston (June 20, 2024) and even at 80, Roger Daltrey still sings a razor line.......every time! The version of Won't Get Fooled Again they performed last night was just simply amazing. Roger's voice sounds so great now after the throat surgery he had at Massachusetts General Hospital a few years ago. Long live Roger Daltrey and long live The Who!
Keith moon was one of them drummers you could never take your eyes off of, you had to watch every single beat solo he did he was so good, R.I.P to the guy
@@ctihodnymuz72 Technically, yes but how do you define better? I've played drums for over 40 years and while I love Paice (and many others) Moon was so unconventional in his playing style - he was instantly recognisable. See how he plays almost the entire song on a large crash/ride above his hi hat and the ride cymbal on the opposite side. He almost never touched his hi-hat. His constant fills and flourishes are his trademark which makes him one of the most unique rock drummers ever. I don't think that you can really get into the 'who's better' debate with Moon. If you read the biography on Moon ("Dear Boy") it talks a lot his playing and how it developed. He simply sat behind a kit and played it how he thought it ought to be played - without any instruction or interest in following convention.
@@paulkelly5463 It was. Also I think I saw in some interview that his timing was all over the place, and hence be needed the headphones for this performance.
Have seen/listened to this vid many many times (who here hasn't?) and it's always amazed me how good the image quality is, but only this evening after you've mentioned it have I noticed that it's actually been uploaded in 4K and i'm astonished my bandwidth has been able to cope with for all this time!
In the 1970's my elder sister gave me the album Who's Next . Until then I listened to top 40 and bought single play records . Once I heard this band come our of my speakers my music world changed forever.
This is one of the purest distillations of rock and roll I've ever witnessed. I also love that the bass is turned up loud enough that you can actually hear it.
Me as well.. I remember watching this on M TV ,and all other WHO videos .. I was in High School during the "Shlitz Rocks America" tour of The Who... ;)
i recall watching a bunch of live covers by pearl jam and a friend pointed out how much their bass player was sweating. "if you look at john entwisle playing these same parts, he looks like a bored office worker filling in yet another form". damn right, and it's hilarious!
My favorite quote about the who was from one of the oasis brothers.....something to the effect of "they were all playing lead weren't they? Daltrey was lead vocals, Pete was lead guitar, Keith was playing lead drums and John was playing lead bass.
Near to the point is that they were all exceptional in their fields. In most other bands, each individual would have stood out because of their brilliance. In The Who they simply blended together. The sum of their parts is greater than their components.
I'm close to that. I find it interesting listening to the words again now. It seems we're still getting fooled, the new boss was the same as the old boss! Time for a real change.
I'm pushing 50, feeling more like 90 and acting more like 12............. I think it's so very *Brilliant* that this genuine kind of music is in our past, just think if it had never been, that makes me sad. 😥
I’ve been a guitarist for 35 years and a good friend of mine asked me 6 years ago if you could pick any song, moment in history to ultimately define Rock ‘n Roll I replied with 7:51 from this video
This song in general, is the pinnacle of everything Rock n Roll period! The scream, the slide, the atmosphere. Everything! It will never get any better than this right here. Ladies and gentlemen.
Couldn’t disagree more, if you want the pinnacle of Rock n Roll, the atmosphere, the performance, watch Led Zeppelin at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Nothing gets better than that, that is as so good, even Zeppelin we’re never as good as that again.
This was my dad's favorite song, he passed in 2019. I come back to this song after years of not hearing it and wanting ways to still connect with my father. He went to 5 shows by post Keith and always told me there will never be another live band like The Who. What a song, what a performance, and what an era for music! Love ya pops hope you're still rocking out to this.
I'm 63 years old - this is the best video on UA-cam - by far in my opinion. John's bass is off the scale, far better than any other artist at the time. Keith - was a master that peaked far too young and this was an example of his excellece. Roger was a genius of vocals and audiance participation and Pete - well he was just Pete....wrote songs of time that will last forever. Best band in the world. in my opinion. Please play it to your kids, its iconic, will last forever and blows the bollocks off anything on youtube!!!
Pete talked in a recent-ish interview about John’s bass being like Bach fugues, sending kaleidoscopic harmonies into the air so all Pete had to do was punctuate rhythmically. It’s the complete opposite of all other bands where the bass plays the root and the guitarist solos. What a genius unrepeatable setup was The Who.
I'm 70 and I have loved The Who from the first time I heard The Kids Are Alright. I thought then and still do that they were a band of leads - Keith playing lead drums, John playing lead bass, Pete playing lead guitar and Roger as lead singer holding the whole thing together. I never got to see them live, but I've worn out their albums. Live At Leeds is one of the best live albums ever.

I love it! Pete and Roger are jumping around like crazy men (we all know Keith was indeed crazy) and John is just calmly strutting those incredible bass chords like he's just brushing his teeth in the morning! Damn how fun this is!!!!
U saw Townsend in very good spirits. When he is pissy, if ur close enough u see this = don't get that performance. Yes 1 of the best live performances of that song.
@@whothefoxcares Maybe you're an utter cunt, aptly named Karen. Have you ever considered THAT, you evil, fascist bitch?! Have some unexpressed goddamned opinions for a change! Loathsome, inbred, white trash scum!
Yes BUT - WHY has this channel ruined it at the end with graphics/adsfor other songs/bands? They should show Keith coming over drums and embracing Pete. It is after all Keith's last pubic performance. And would show him some respect.
The band was built around him and progressed with him, there's no replacement for Keith Moon no matter what their resume is. The Who found that out and later admitted to the reality of it.
Absolutely. Keith Moon's frenetic drumming style was a foundational element of The Who's sound. His approach to the drums was unlike anything seen before in rock music. Here are some characteristics and contributions of Keith Moon's unique style: Chaotic Energy: Moon's drumming was known for its wild, unrestrained energy. He often seemed to be on the edge of losing control, yet always managed to stay in the pocket. No Traditional Beat: Unlike many rock drummers of his era who kept a steady backbeat on the snare, Moon often eschewed this entirely, filling measures with rapid tom-tom rolls, cymbal crashes, and unexpected accents. Lead Drumming: Much like John Entwistle's approach to the bass, Moon played the drums as if they were a lead instrument, always pushing forward and rarely settling into a traditional rhythm section role. Destructive Flair: Off the kit, Moon was famous for his destructive antics, from trashing hotel rooms to exploding drum kits on stage. This same energy translated into his drumming. Influence: Despite (or perhaps because of) his unconventional style, Moon has influenced countless drummers across genres. His refusal to be confined to traditional drumming roles expanded the possibilities of what rock drumming could be. Moon's untimely death in 1978 at the age of 32 was a significant loss to the music world. While his time with us was short, his legacy is enduring. Many consider him not just one of the greatest rock drummers, but one of the most iconic figures in rock history.
Moon was definitely a great part of the ensemble, but Bonham and , Charlie Watts, and Ringo Starr were at least as good, and Ginger Baker towered over them all...
Fun fact: the laser lights used in the ending sequence were borrowed for the filming of Alien, which was taking place next door, in order to create the lighting effect over the alien eggs.
These were excellent effects imo, really cool looking and so futuristic at the time. What I loved about these is that The Who always pushed for something different, breaking new grounds.
Had the good fortune of seeing this performance live in 1977. It was as good as it seems. I also lost about 30% of my hearing... permanently. It may have been worth it. Keith Moon passed a couple years later. Surprising and sad. Greatest rock drummer, IMO.
Not a brag believe me, but they were top of the bill at the Oxford School of Architecture May Ball - part of the then Poly……..in 1970…….my ears are still ringing and the pleasure remains undiminished. Better still two months later they were in Bath where I lived………was I lucky ???!!!?!?!
About 20% of mine. Same thing. Audiologist, looking at the wavy lines, smile on his face and honestly said, "Classic Baby Boomer Woodstock hearing loss!"
The greatest live band of all time, saw them in 75 and 76, blew me away, i saw them at sandringham last year, still great, but im glad , i got to see john, and keith in action, wonderful musician ship
I would say the same thing about Geddy Lee, and Jason Newsted, and Steve Harris. But then again, that's how great they were. To me, IMHO, they are the three greatest bass players of all time. Whoever you think is best is up to you. I'd pick a Geddy first, then Steve, and then Jason. But, that's only my opinion.
It's not just bass players. Top musicians in general. Watching Richie Blackmore's left hand makes me want to cut my fingers off. How can he move his fingers that fast?
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this band twice live in my lifetime and seeing my hero pete townshend. The other Jimmy Page, I consider myself extremely fortunate and lucky to have seen them live. May we basque in their genius and generosity in sharing their talents with the world.
I would give anything to be on this TOUR, or on any SHOWS of ROCK bands, historic, categorical, and emblematic, revolutionary in the ROCK industry, in the world of ROCK, I have never had this luck, and pleasure to be on a TOUR of all I'm a fan of my bands, I'm a fan of my bands with my heart, and soul, I've never had this privilege, I would love it, I'd like to be on a tour of one of my favorite bands, in fact it's just the ones from the 60s, 70s, and 80, from 1990, from then onwards, music sank, it only went downhill, just river bends, there was a decline in the music we currently have today, (QUALITY) music is in short supply nowadays!!.
This was the very first use of a live laser show onstage, no other bands had it, and I saw this tour, saw that exact effect, and it was as impressive then as you see here. When they used it during "See Me, Feel Me" it was jaw dropping.
Precious few (if any) bands have owned a stage just by force of personality and music the way The Who did. And Keith looks so happy here. It still pisses me off we lost him so soon. I saw them live in 73 and 74. Simply phenomenal. Two back to back moments on this song that can still make me shiver are right after the synth break - when Keith comes in owning the toms, and when Roger screams from somewhere deep within.
Keith Moon was one hell of a drummer and yes it pisses me off he died so soon. I wish he was still around to witness the changes of music. I wander what he would react and say. Long live Keith Moon. 🤘🤘🤘
Moon actually was a pretty good drummer from a technical standpoint. He was no Neil Peart or Dave Weckl, but he had chops. Something that made him really stand out was his playing for the time...he was a lot more technical than most rock drummers were back then. Like Stewart Copeland from The Police. An unusual style and level of technicality for the genre and times.
I was so lucky to be in the audience for this performance as it was for the filming of The Kids Are Alright, so it's movie quality, it really had to be the best live gig I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot, the Who really are the best live band ever !
@@ralphfurley404 Have a look at Flickr, I took a few photos on the day of Keith Moon, Pete Townshend and John Entwistle, Roger Daltrey who wasn't about at the time, not great quality but at least something, Flickr name TAKOYAKI 77.
I was a maid years ago at the Oakland Hyatt..and was invited to see the WHO.. What a special event. Very good concert! I'm still amazed at Pete Townsands guitar playing.
I've said this to friends before, that if Daltrey had never sung a note in his life APART from that scream before the last verse, he'd still be one of the greatest rock singers of all time. It's just incomparable.
for me keith can’t sniff the jazz drummers rich krupa haynes roach all those legends play keith moon out the park. but moony is a very very good rock drummer. this is just my opinion please don’t get salty with me, i’m a very big jazz person
Nothing can touch this ever!!! This is the pinnacle of Rock Anthems and the primal scream of a duped humanity exploding at the speed of Light!!!!! BRAVO!!!
Jeffrey, I have seen many concerts in my time. And I have to say. As far as live performance rock goes, they were probably the best I've ever seen live!!! 👍. I mean I've seen many great band's. But as a live performance goes, their pretty much untouchable. Fantastic!!! 🎸🎶🎹☮️✌️ Rock On!!!!
😩 I'm gonna be sad when this generation of bands/musicians finally pass away! Cause this was the actual music back when they had talent no autotune bs or anything!
I must have watched this on The Kids are Alright video literally BILLIONS of times. Such an incredible performance. John's tone here is just insanely good.
I have seen The Who 2 times in KB Hallen, Copenhagen in 1971 and 1973 .69 years today and never forget it. My favorite band of all times. Great concerts. Me and my friends was totally deef after their concerts
This and Baba O'Reily were filmed especially for this movie. The reason this performance was so explosive was, and this is mentioned in both the commentary track and the accompanying DVD booklet, Jeff Stein got brave and asked the band to do another take (the previous performance petered out...no pun intended), and that was something The Who rarely ever did. And, if you get the DVD, watch when Pete rams his guitar into the stage: you can see the effing neck bend!
RIP the two members of The Who John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 - June 27, 2002), aged 57 Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32 You both will be remembered as legends.
It is the truth every 4 years to all of us who think the change will benefit us..maybe a bit but we aren't likely to be part of the one percent the NWO is.
Rock 'n Roll Supremacy! One of the best ever. Hell, I cannot think of any song better. What a performance. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." The best advice from one of my favorite bosses, friends and people ever.
7:37 After the melodic interlude of the synthesizers, the drums return like rolling thunder to set the stage for the greatest moment in rock and roll history at 7:49. The anger. The joy. The promise. The betrayal. The rage. And ultimately, the liberation. Everything that rock and roll promised it could ever be is delivered here. Amen.
_"The anger. The joy. The promise. The betrayal. The rage. And ultimately, the liberation"_ Poetically explained, and a great comment about easily one of rock and rolls most seminal moments ever. You totally get it, 1000% *Clicks 7:37 again for the third time.
Keith Moon was the best of the best drummer in the history of Rock 'N Roll!! He is/was the only drummer that played lead drums! You can see it in almost every video ever released, he played the drums as if they were the lead instrument in the band! Long live Keith!!
I was 12 in 1984 and saw this clip for the first time. It was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. 40 years later, the 52 year old me still gets the same adolescent excitement as I did back then. ❤
Me too. I was 14. My parents let me stay up to watch watch the full concert in 1984. It on a school night. They said, "we are letting you stay up late tonight" I asked, "oh, why?" They answered, "just wait, you'll see!". I am grateful my parents loved music and thought it was Important that I was well educated 😅
YES!!! Completely unexpected and totally blew me away when I heard it! And on my children's lives, I swear to God I just happened to be wearing one of my several Who t-shirts at the time!
It is...easily!!! It's the one video I HAVE to watch at least once a day....usually in the morning. I'm ready to kick the world's fvcking ass after watching this with my coffee!
Chris Squire is disqualified as he used a pick (which was devastating for me to discover. Curse you UA-cam). I’d put Joan Paul Jones in that conversation and Dee Murray from the classic Elton John band
John is the one who made the Who sound possible. He was the linchpin holding the song together, allowing Pete and Moonie to fly all over the place. Without him the songs would have just fallen apart, and he was always more than up to the challenge. No other band has ever done it that way, and it's one reason why the Ox is the greatest of all bass players.

It never fails to astound me how John Entwistle makes the most intricate and complex bass lines look so effortless!
he always looks so 'ho hum' about what he's playing!
John's isolated bass vid for Won't Get Fooled Again on here is sublime.
He is the absolute master! I also like Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead who is also a master, some similarities, but less 'rock'!
It was John who got me into the bass......thanks, John!
I'm a bassist of 45 years.
His stuff isn't that intricate and or hard to play.
It's his phrasing (if you know what that is) his tone, his attack, that for me, set's him above the rest..
His tone was so dynamic. It covered the spectrum.
He fingers were very long, he had piano player fingers that were made of flexible steel..
I met him once, shook his hand, showed him my Alembic.
His hand wrapped around the neck and my hand - twice.

Read an article where Paul said they wrote ‘helter skelter’ as a retort to the Who’s blistering music. 1-1 draw I reckon.
@@donjohns4878 Yes there was an element of parody on the White Album. "Back in the USSR" was Beach Boys, at least the harmonies.
The Who blew The Beatles and The Stones in live performances at any day.
I'd say they blow them off the stage and write vastly superior music, but that's just my opinion.
John Enwhistle was the coolest bass player of all rockn roll

The WHO has to be one of the greatest group of musicians ever. 2024
I went to see Roger Daltrey last night in Boston (June 20, 2024) and even at 80, Roger Daltrey still sings a razor line.......every time! The version of Won't Get Fooled Again they performed last night was just simply amazing. Roger's voice sounds so great now after the throat surgery he had at Massachusetts General Hospital a few years ago. Long live Roger Daltrey and long live The Who!
Keith moon was one of them drummers you could never take your eyes off of, you had to watch every single beat solo he did he was so good, R.I.P to the guy
Paice was much better.
@@ctihodnymuz72 Technically, yes but how do you define better? I've played drums for over 40 years and while I love Paice (and many others) Moon was so unconventional in his playing style - he was instantly recognisable. See how he plays almost the entire song on a large crash/ride above his hi hat and the ride cymbal on the opposite side. He almost never touched his hi-hat. His constant fills and flourishes are his trademark which makes him one of the most unique rock drummers ever. I don't think that you can really get into the 'who's better' debate with Moon. If you read the biography on Moon ("Dear Boy") it talks a lot his playing and how it developed. He simply sat behind a kit and played it how he thought it ought to be played - without any instruction or interest in following convention.
I love how Keith Moon has his headset taped onto his head with gaffer tape. He was the one and only.
Could it B Duct Tape ??
LOL'S
No Disrespect Keith .
RIP
i always wonder why keith needs the headset , when the rest of the lads play with the sync track just fine .
How didn't I notice that until I read your comment?
Sadly, I think that was the very last performance he ever gave
@@paulkelly5463 It was. Also I think I saw in some interview that his timing was all over the place, and hence be needed the headphones for this performance.
Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate that amazing video quality?!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. It looks modern.
This was filmed with a multi-camera pro setup for the movie "The Kids Are Alright". If you haven't seen the movie, check it out. You'll be amazed.
@@notanotheraccount Been wondering how they did it. It's like they traveled through time to play a concert filmed in HD! Thanks!
It's film, not video.
Have seen/listened to this vid many many times (who here hasn't?) and it's always amazed me how good the image quality is, but only this evening after you've mentioned it have I noticed that it's actually been uploaded in 4K and i'm astonished my bandwidth has been able to cope with for all this time!
In the 1970's my elder sister gave me the album Who's Next . Until then I listened to top 40 and bought single play records . Once I heard this band come our of my speakers my music world changed forever.
One of the greatest Rock songs ever.
Even after 50 years it still stands!!!
@@GREG62944 I'm still awake now this sound has got going,. My dad dead now got me into Tommy
What a bought free me
It's the TOTAL SHYTE!
Ever notice how no one ever says, “That band reminds me of The Who”? The Incomparable!
I always point that out to people. Led Zeppelin is the opposite, both still amazing.
Actually, yes, a few obscure bands from the 70s seem to sound like the who to some people, zerfas, pluto, pretty things, ananta.
Yeha like everytime people ask "who does that band remind you of?" they get their remembrance.
That's because they were such monsters on their instruments and they couldn't be duplicated
Pearl Jam used to get it quite a bit.
It is one of the greatest masterpieces ever in the history of rock and roll, and this is its masterpiece.
Nothing but great.
Keith Moon - The only person talented enough to tape his headphones to his head and still look cool.
With gaffers tape no less.
If you notice he’s shadow playing to keep time
This is one of the purest distillations of rock and roll I've ever witnessed. I also love that the bass is turned up loud enough that you can actually hear it.
The scream at the end gives me chills. The best rock n roll sound clip of all time hands down.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scream makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck . didnt used to until you said it gave you chills
The best few seconds in rock ever
Best scream in rock ‘n’ roll history 💯%😎
At age 80, Daltrey is still performing, but he says that, in this song, "I have done the scream for 50 years and I don’t want to do it anymore."
I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this. It truly is the ultimate rock performance.
Truly is a must see performance
Me as well.. I remember watching this on M TV ,and all other WHO videos .. I was in High School during the "Shlitz Rocks America" tour of The Who... ;)
I never get tired of The Who. There’s great bands and then there’s magic.
This is my first time seeing the video and I am Middle AGED. YES, I know the song but the video plus the song is amazing. WOW
Looks like 17 million times 🎉
If you’re gonna listen to a song at full volume, it needs to be this.
With quad speakers!
I do! Always.
Levon Helm and the Band is pretty damn good too. Some amazing bands we won't see again!
For me it's slip kid.
ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY
Entwistle’s bass on this is so……..massive, monumental, mesmerizing, *BRILLIANT!!!*
John is looking on and wondering what these other jokers have been doing in their off time.
i love entwistle so much 😭 the wise sage camel of these wild boys, gotta love it
i recall watching a bunch of live covers by pearl jam and a friend pointed out how much their bass player was sweating. "if you look at john entwisle playing these same parts, he looks like a bored office worker filling in yet another form". damn right, and it's hilarious!
yes,,it's so fast and no stress in him..brillent
Thunderfingers
The bass is on fire, four blokes right there having a laugh and making music, brilliant, nothing even close to this nowadays 👏
My favorite quote about the who was from one of the oasis brothers.....something to the effect of "they were all playing lead weren't they? Daltrey was lead vocals, Pete was lead guitar, Keith was playing lead drums and John was playing lead bass.
@Your Dad possibly....lol
Yes they were all leaders!!!
Yep thats about it
Near to the point is that they were all exceptional in their fields. In most other bands, each individual would have stood out because of their brilliance. In The Who they simply blended together. The sum of their parts is greater than their components.
Pete when asked about how they get their sound, we just turn up everything louder than everthing else
I saw the Who in Cleveland public hall , what a show I’m 71 and still say it’s the best show I’ve ever seen bar no e
I'm 70!! Damn! Got chills at the beginning!! Oh so very very sad that this brilliant genuine kind of music is in our past!
I'm 71 was my favourite group in the sixties, still love them
I'm close to that. I find it interesting listening to the words again now. It seems we're still getting fooled, the new boss was the same as the old boss! Time for a real change.

"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." Brilliant lyric. Brilliant song.

@@Poecilia1963 I lost my plectrum and now i just feel like a finger plucker
This song in general, is the pinnacle of everything Rock n Roll period! The scream, the slide, the atmosphere. Everything! It will never get any better than this right here. Ladies and gentlemen.
Totally agree
Couldn’t disagree more, if you want the pinnacle of Rock n Roll, the atmosphere, the performance, watch Led Zeppelin at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Nothing gets better than that, that is as so good, even Zeppelin we’re never as good as that again.
Zeppelin was a cover band.
Don't forget Keith's tiny drum solo leading up to it!!
@@JohnSmith-vk8cm lol you're a cover band. The first 5:albums was one of the most incredible strings ever put together.....ever!

This was my dad's favorite song, he passed in 2019. I come back to this song after years of not hearing it and wanting ways to still connect with my father. He went to 5 shows by post Keith and always told me there will never be another live band like The Who. What a song, what a performance, and what an era for music! Love ya pops hope you're still rocking out to this.

These guys will still be appreciated in 100 years as the geniuses they were.
I'm 63 years old - this is the best video on UA-cam - by far in my opinion. John's bass is off the scale, far better than any other artist at the time. Keith - was a master that peaked far too young and this was an example of his excellece. Roger was a genius of vocals and audiance participation and Pete - well he was just Pete....wrote songs of time that will last forever. Best band in the world. in my opinion. Please play it to your kids, its iconic, will last forever and blows the bollocks off anything on youtube!!!
Not even close to best band in the world. C'mon man!:P
Why are you watching?
@@yogadr6 Thats why I said "in my opinion" best band ever - you choose yours and I wont disagree - I won't get fooled again. :)
Couldn't have ever put it better. Agreed
MOONIE, BEST DRUMMER EVER.
Entwistle's bass bravado is not only sublime, its legendary.
Amazing
What the rest of the Who does with their entire bodies, The Ox does with only his fingers.
Pete talked in a recent-ish interview about John’s bass being like Bach fugues, sending kaleidoscopic harmonies into the air so all Pete had to do was punctuate rhythmically. It’s the complete opposite of all other bands where the bass plays the root and the guitarist solos. What a genius unrepeatable setup was The Who.
Entwistle, "The Ox" was the musical director of the band.
Totally carries this tune
I'm 70 and I have loved The Who from the first time I heard The Kids Are Alright. I thought then and still do that they were a band of leads - Keith playing lead drums, John playing lead bass, Pete playing lead guitar and Roger as lead singer holding the whole thing together. I never got to see them live, but I've worn out their albums. Live At Leeds is one of the best live albums ever.
I am 63 and have loved this group and I so agree with you! All Leads! Spectacular songs and stage presence!
I'm 50 and been listening to them since I could hear lol..

What a greeeeeat performance of One of the best songs ever. THE WHO Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!
Keith Moon was with us for far too short a time. He is one of the great rock drummers of all time. So intense and essential to the sound.
The band was built around him and progressed with him, there's no replacement for Keith Moon no matter what their resume is. The Who found that out and later admitted to the reality of it.
Absolutely. Keith Moon's frenetic drumming style was a foundational element of The Who's sound. His approach to the drums was unlike anything seen before in rock music. Here are some characteristics and contributions of Keith Moon's unique style:
Chaotic Energy: Moon's drumming was known for its wild, unrestrained energy. He often seemed to be on the edge of losing control, yet always managed to stay in the pocket.
No Traditional Beat: Unlike many rock drummers of his era who kept a steady backbeat on the snare, Moon often eschewed this entirely, filling measures with rapid tom-tom rolls, cymbal crashes, and unexpected accents.
Lead Drumming: Much like John Entwistle's approach to the bass, Moon played the drums as if they were a lead instrument, always pushing forward and rarely settling into a traditional rhythm section role.
Destructive Flair: Off the kit, Moon was famous for his destructive antics, from trashing hotel rooms to exploding drum kits on stage. This same energy translated into his drumming.
Influence: Despite (or perhaps because of) his unconventional style, Moon has influenced countless drummers across genres. His refusal to be confined to traditional drumming roles expanded the possibilities of what rock drumming could be.
Moon's untimely death in 1978 at the age of 32 was a significant loss to the music world. While his time with us was short, his legacy is enduring. Many consider him not just one of the greatest rock drummers, but one of the most iconic figures in rock history.
Moon was definitely a great part of the ensemble, but Bonham and , Charlie Watts, and Ringo Starr were at least as good, and Ginger Baker towered over them all...
I was lucky enough to meet Keith on this tour RIP KEITH ❤
Nope, they were mostly just time keepers. Moon had too much originality and flair for that. He was a true artist.
Fun fact: the laser lights used in the ending sequence were borrowed for the filming of Alien, which was taking place next door, in order to create the lighting effect over the alien eggs.
Cool historical tidbit!
Vibrolux great stuff, my favourite band and favourite film👾👾
That's pretty cool. I even have Giger's Alien book and there's no mention of that. Excellent fun fact.
These were excellent effects imo, really cool looking and so futuristic at the time. What I loved about these is that The Who always pushed for something different, breaking new grounds.
I thought I knew everything about The Who. I was wrong. Thanks for sharing.
Had the good fortune of seeing this performance live in 1977. It was as good as it seems. I also lost about 30% of my hearing... permanently. It may have been worth it. Keith Moon passed a couple years later. Surprising and sad. Greatest rock drummer, IMO.
How did you get in?
actually, this was 1978 and Keith Moon died like five months later
Not a brag believe me, but they were top of the bill at the Oxford School of Architecture May Ball - part of the then Poly……..in 1970…….my ears are still ringing and the pleasure remains undiminished. Better still two months later they were in Bath where I lived………was I lucky ???!!!?!?!
My idiot friend I was with said “ let’s get down the front near the speakers “ pardon 😊😊😊
About 20% of mine. Same thing. Audiologist, looking at the wavy lines, smile on his face and honestly said, "Classic Baby Boomer Woodstock hearing loss!"
The greatest live band of all time, saw them in 75 and 76, blew me away, i saw them at sandringham last year, still great, but im glad , i got to see john, and keith in action, wonderful musician ship
Love it how John Entwistle was the lone sane man as far as his position on stage yet just as wild on the fret board as the rest of them.
And yet he was the biggest party animal out them all !!
RIP THE OX
John was by far the best musician in this band.
@@tonypowell250 Helps being the greatest bassist ever.
About to say the same thing lol
Townsend was a great rhythm guitarist. Entwistle was the masterful lead bass player.
As a bassplayer, I wish John hadn't made his extraordinary playing seem quite so effortless!
I would say the same thing about Geddy Lee, and Jason Newsted, and Steve Harris. But then again, that's how great they were. To me, IMHO, they are the three greatest bass players of all time. Whoever you think is best is up to you. I'd pick a Geddy first, then Steve, and then Jason. But, that's only my opinion.
It's not just bass players. Top musicians in general. Watching Richie Blackmore's left hand makes me want to cut my fingers off. How can he move his fingers that fast?
@@michaelmorgan4408 I agree.
As a drummer I feel the same way about Keith. He was a maniac, but damn... could he play!
train insane amount and it is easy for you too, imagine if people used those hours wasted on CS, WOW and runescape to create bands?
Keith and his gaffer's tape holding his headphones on, is the greatest ever! Hysterical!
Is that gaffer's tape or duct tape ??
I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this band twice live in my lifetime and seeing my hero pete townshend. The other Jimmy Page, I consider myself extremely fortunate and lucky to have seen them live. May we basque in their genius and generosity in sharing their talents with the world.
Both were genius song writers and musicians. Those Brits were quite talented to say the least.
I would give anything to be on this TOUR, or on any SHOWS of ROCK bands, historic, categorical, and emblematic, revolutionary in the ROCK industry, in the world of ROCK, I have never had this luck, and pleasure to be on a TOUR of all I'm a fan of my bands, I'm a fan of my bands with my heart, and soul, I've never had this privilege, I would love it, I'd like to be on a tour of one of my favorite bands, in fact it's just the ones from the 60s, 70s, and 80, from 1990, from then onwards, music sank, it only went downhill, just river bends, there was a decline in the music we currently have today, (QUALITY) music is in short supply nowadays!!.
Me too - 1968 and 2004
Bask, not "basque"
7:37-7:56 is one of the best pieces of rock n' roll cinematography ever recorded
This was the very first use of a live laser show onstage, no other bands had it, and I saw this tour, saw that exact effect, and it was as impressive then as you see here. When they used it during "See Me, Feel Me" it was jaw dropping.
Absofuckinlutely
PREACH!!!
@@outerrealm - Hard to argue with that.
and so truth these days!!!!!
Precious few (if any) bands have owned a stage just by force of personality and music the way The Who did. And Keith looks so happy here. It still pisses me off we lost him so soon. I saw them live in 73 and 74. Simply phenomenal.
Two back to back moments on this song that can still make me shiver are right after the synth break - when Keith comes in owning the toms, and when Roger screams from somewhere deep within.
Keith Moon was one hell of a drummer and yes it pisses me off he died so soon. I wish he was still around to witness the changes of music. I wander what he would react and say. Long live Keith Moon. 🤘🤘🤘
I saw them about a month ago and let me tell you that Roger still has that same scream in him. A beautiful concert that was.

I dont have the skills to judge technical abilities, but Keith Moon is my favourite drummer of all time - what a stage presence!
John Bonham for me...
Keith wasn't a technical drummer, he was a force of nature.
@Andre Oosthuizen No? What do you mean No?The guy said Keith Moon was his favorite, not the best.
Moon actually was a pretty good drummer from a technical standpoint. He was no Neil Peart or Dave Weckl, but he had chops. Something that made him really stand out was his playing for the time...he was a lot more technical than most rock drummers were back then. Like Stewart Copeland from The Police. An unusual style and level of technicality for the genre and times.
People who think they do have the "skills" to judge technique are usually full of $hit anyway.

I must have watched this on The Kids are Alright video literally BILLIONS of times. Such an incredible performance. John's tone here is just insanely good.
I have seen The Who 2 times in KB Hallen, Copenhagen in 1971 and 1973 .69 years today and never forget it. My favorite band of all times. Great concerts. Me and my friends was totally deef after their concerts
The difference that it makes when a concert footage is PROPERLY recorded.
This and Baba O'Reily were filmed especially for this movie. The reason this performance was so explosive was, and this is mentioned in both the commentary track and the accompanying DVD booklet, Jeff Stein got brave and asked the band to do another take (the previous performance petered out...no pun intended), and that was something The Who rarely ever did. And, if you get the DVD, watch when Pete rams his guitar into the stage: you can see the effing neck bend!

Day after the election. November 6th 2024

81 million my ass
Listening and watching from behind blue eyes. 🙂
Rock 'n Roll Supremacy! One of the best ever. Hell, I cannot think of any song better. What a performance. "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." The best advice from one of my favorite bosses, friends and people ever.
Pete is such a mad man. I could watch his antics all day, and he does them so good, and never misses a lick
7:37 After the melodic interlude of the synthesizers, the drums return like rolling thunder to set the stage for the greatest moment in rock and roll history at 7:49. The anger. The joy. The promise. The betrayal. The rage. And ultimately, the liberation. Everything that rock and roll promised it could ever be is delivered here. Amen.
_"The anger. The joy. The promise. The betrayal. The rage. And ultimately, the liberation"_
Poetically explained, and a great comment about easily one of rock and rolls most seminal moments ever. You totally get it, 1000% *Clicks 7:37 again for the third time.
Fantastic description brother.....
Amen, dude.....
Maby the greates rock'n'roll moment in music history

You sir, you get what it's all about
This song is the definition of classic rock n’ roll.
I smile every time I see Keith air drumming at the beginning. It's like he hears something inside his head, that nobody else can hear.
Keith Moon was the best of the best drummer in the history of Rock 'N Roll!! He is/was the only drummer that played lead drums! You can see it in almost every video ever released, he played the drums as if they were the lead instrument in the band! Long live Keith!!
no way are they lead
I was 12 in 1984 and saw this clip for the first time. It was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. 40 years later, the 52 year old me still gets the same adolescent excitement as I did back then. ❤
Me too. I was 14. My parents let me stay up to watch watch the full concert in 1984. It on a school night.
They said, "we are letting you stay up late tonight"
I asked, "oh, why?"
They answered, "just wait, you'll see!".
I am grateful my parents loved music and thought it was Important that I was well educated 😅
Pete & Roger are like perfectly timed cheerleader’s the way they move together in unison, so visually appealing. What a GREAT band!
I see Rog looking quite the cheerleader with curly locks and twirling his mic, sure, but then I see Pete like a new-born giraffe on acid
Too bad they hated each other
Years of loving this song! Hearing it again in Top Gun Maverick during the dogfight training brought me the biggest smile!
I know!,
Shit, I might have to go see the movie now.
Came here bc of this! Loved that scene
YES!!! Completely unexpected and totally blew me away when I heard it! And on my children's lives, I swear to God I just happened to be wearing one of my several Who t-shirts at the time!
@@tomatden trust, it’s amazing
There's only one way to play this record, and that's LOUD!
This record still sends shivers down my spine. What a band 😎
Used to hold my breath during the synthesizer break, and let it out on the "YEAHhhhh!" Ah, the simple pleasures of youth....
Unbeatable so very sadly missed
one of THE most talanted bands to ever graced this earth. fantastic tunes . outstanding ❤
The Who at the top of their game here in full legend mode.
Last time they played together before Moon took the big leap
This might just be the best piece of rock and roll footage on the planet.
Yeah, I agree, it is fantastic. Moon is magnificent and he had just a couple of months or so to live, not that he knew that, of course.
@@tonybates7870 John Entwistle, what a talent he was.
Yes, it is
@@KennyEvansUK
Yes, what a talent Entwistle was. He helped made the Who what they were, which was unique.
It is...easily!!! It's the one video I HAVE to watch at least once a day....usually in the morning. I'm ready to kick the world's fvcking ass after watching this with my coffee!
When you are the band that inspires AC/DC before they go onstage you know your "THE" rock band of the century!
Oui AC/DC se sont inspirés de ce groupe
Mais tous les rockers se sont tous inspirés de JIMMY HENDRIX Le Roi de la Guitare
“Who’s Next”, one of the greatest rock albums ever!
When Geddy Lee from Rush was asked what his "Desert Island" album is, he responded "Who's Next".
Take some time to listen to the isolated bass from John Entwistle-he absolutely shreds THUNDAHFINGAS
The Ox- the G.O.A.T.!!! 🐐
Enemy AC-130 Above
shredding is not even the right term the right term is john entwistle’ing
Chris Squire is disqualified as he used a pick (which was devastating for me to discover. Curse you UA-cam).
I’d put Joan Paul Jones in that conversation and Dee Murray from the classic Elton John band
I heard the isolated bass from the performance of Join Together/Road Runner/My Generation Blues (The Kids are Alright soundtrack), totally awesome.
John is the one who made the Who sound possible. He was the linchpin holding the song together, allowing Pete and Moonie to fly all over the place. Without him the songs would have just fallen apart, and he was always more than up to the challenge. No other band has ever done it that way, and it's one reason why the Ox is the greatest of all bass players.
