Jay and Amber I just want to let you know y'all are making a difference, an impact if you will. I'm a 62 year old redneck who lives alone and just got home from a month in the hospital after 2 major surgeries. I'm recovering, but it's slow. My kids and grandkids live in another state, so hard for them to see to me (plans are in place to move me to them, but will take time.). But, I look forward to your videos every day. Y'all are so positive and sweet it helps take my mind off myself for a short while. You feel the love through the screen I swear. I feel like I am sharing the music of my youth with my kids every video. Keep sharing the love and positivity. Love y'all!
This is my favorite song by The Who. They played this music video all the time on MTV and it just spoke to me. Plus, you get to hear Pete Townsend on lead vocals and John Entwistle's bass line (which is so funky). Great song!
I wasn't really a big fan of the Who, but this lil funky tune was/is my favorite. Still bobb'n my head and tapp'n my toes to this after all these years!!!
Kenny Jones is the drummer here. He joined The Who after Keith Moon passed away. Kenny previously was in The Faces with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones.
This and You Better You Bet are some of my favorite Who songs. " time goes on and people forget, forget "they're" hiding behind their fame wealth and power, behind an eminence front. Every now and then they slip up, and people see. But then they forget. The who is a real wake up/rebel rock band.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "5:15" and "Love Reign O'er Me"!!! Edit- singer here is Pete Townshend, you'll love his "Let My Love Open The Door" from his solo career!!
This song was written and sung by Pete Townsend . It was from their 1982 studio album "Its Hard". When Townsend introduces this song in concert he tells the crowd, " This is what happens if you put too much white powder up your nose". Some say it had to do with his recent rehab. The bass line and the drum beat are so powerful, with the guitar work keeping you entertained. Great reaction. ☃️🎅🌟🎄🎁 ...."Please Come Home For Christmas" .....THE EAGLES.... Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦
Pete must've made up and made nice with the Catholic Church, because originally it was a slam on the Vatican and R.C. church - In Concert, Bishops/Cardinals were dressed in red frocks (dressed to kill) strutting their stuff onstage with 'Nuns' - as it's all a put on, a sham by "His Eminence" the Pope - but all such references have been expunged! Doesn't have much reference, if any, to drugs (not nearly as the Vatican reference).
I recall a contemporary It's Hard review that said it was a good song, but the rhythm section were not up to delivering what' was needed. Unbelievable!
I was 9 when this record came out. I bought the vinyl the week it came out, and I must have played this record 1,000 times over. So glad you guys enjoyed this song. There are some great live versions of this one as well.
As someone who grew up with The Who and went to see Tommy in the theatre, I am astounded that I did not realize this was their song and I love the song! 😮❤
Tommy in the theater, YESSSSSSS!!!!! I was only 10, but I was there! I loved it even more a couple years later, as I started understanding the references better...😂
From the mid-80s, this was probably the Who's last big hit. Even so, it's one of my favorites. It's less a song and more of a jam session with words thrown in. Love it! 🎶
Not mid-80s, early 80s - '82. I know this because "It's Hard" came out just before I returned to the states in November '82 from overseas and it was already in the jukebox at the enlisted club. Cheers....
"Eminence" is high power or fame, so an "Eminence Front" is the illusion of such, as Pete Townshend indicates with the line, "It's a put-on." He said the song is about "the absurdity of drug-fueled grandiosity," possibly related to the Ativan detox program he went through shortly before writing the song.
Eminence Front is killer. The Who did well on MTV, which was huge in the 80s (I was in college). Getting airtime from The Who included You Better You Bet (1981) and Eminence Front (1982).
Townshend has introduced the song in live performances with: "This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder; it's called 'Eminence Front'".
They travel with their core band and half a dozen musicians, but hire an entire local orchestra from the towns they do their show in. I find that so cool!😍
John 'Thunderfingers' Entwistle on the bass. Everytime I hear that freestyling on the first chorus I get a kick of adrenaline. If you have time check it out isolated its incredible. RIP legend.
One of the times when Pete Townsend was on lead vocals and Roger Daltry was back up. There is so much more of The Who's library that you guys have to get to.
Back in the day, I set up a listening room for a high-end audio store. This song was perfect for demonstrating the difference of a good system vs. a great system. PLAY IT LOUD!
One of Ox's (John Entwistle on bass) best songs. Love this song by the Who. They have so many great songs, and so many different sounds. From Magic Bus to Join Together, Squeeze Box, Love Reign O'er Me, and a little known but personal favorite Helpless Dancer.
One of my Fav Who songs! About 35yrs ago, I was on a business trip, and was heading back to my room when I heard 2 teens come out of a different room, and one of them said to the other 'Eminence Front'. I was tempted to say 'It's a put-On' as they passed, but didn't. But was surprised to see much younger kids seem to have known or heard of this song that was, even then, older than them! Thanks for Reacting to this song! :)
@@brooklynbridgealias Was thinking it was released about 10yrs before that, but was wrong. Didn't seem that new when I heard these kids. Did you live it, or just a fact checker?
More selected Who to check out: "5:15", "The Real Me" and "Bellboy" all are off the Quadrophenia album....The Who often referred to their music a "Maximum R&B" also as "Music for blokes, not music to dance to, but music to fight to"
I suggested this song a long time ago - so glad you got to it! One of the greatest intros and riffs in all of popular modern music....and then the lyrics. Wow. just a great song all the way around.
You nailed it, Amber! I got so much into the vibe that I didn’t think about the lyrics for ages…..and when they finally hit I loved the song even more. Very clever way of expressing their idea….
I'll never forget the night I had front row, center stage tickets to see The Who at Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. When The Who perform live, Pete Townshend tends to talk to the audience a lot and describe the meaning of many of their songs. That night in Connecticut when the spotlight was on Pete introducing "Eminence Front" to the crowd, I was shocked when I looked and Roger Daltrey was kneeled down on the stage about 2 feet in front of me. Next thing I know, I'm carrying on a conversation with Roger Daltrey in the middle of a Who concert! I requested a song and he said the setlist for the night was already set. I asked it they'd play it the next night in Boston. I was there the next night, lo and behold The Who performed the song I requested the night before!
You might want to consider combining your two channels and review the Rock Opera Tommy. The music is by The Who and it stars Sir Elton John. Pinball Wizard is one of the songs in the opera.
Awesome song about the excess of the wealthy in the 80s ("put on" persona's and how people forget their true selves) "The news slows People forget Their shares crash, hopes are dashed People forget Forget they're hiding"
Hey Guys, A radio DJ once said on air, "No one is really sure what Rock 'n' Roll really is, except maybe Pete Townsend. Truer words were never spoken. Love you guys.
The Who have so many fantastic songs for you to get to including my favorite "I Can See for Miles" (1967). A few other great ones: "Love Reign O'er Me", "Magic Bus", and Pete Townshend's solo songs "Let My Love Open the Door" and "Face the Face".
Well, well and well. The Who. My all time favorite Rock Band with so many gray songs over their time. Pete Townshed was a great composer and of course guitar player too. Everyone John Roger and Keith were ALL accomplished musicians and singers. Their have been many great drummers but Keith Moon was so great and love his style. Won’t Get Fooled Again…my favorite
Miami Vice!! They played this on Miami Vice back in the day and now it's the first thing I think of when I hear it. It's a great song, very evocative of a certain sound of that era.
Amber & Jordan When I 1st heard Eminence Front by The Who was an Episode of Miami Vice called Killshot their on Don Johnson aka Sonny Crockett's boat making a 2 key drug deal. Crockett's cop buddy's r undercover waiting on Crockett's word, then when he says the word then the cops start shooting n the fireworks start to happen. Then Crockett starts his fast boat then rides away from his cop buddies as they chase him n the drug dealer in their boat as they hide n try to make a set up meeting with a drug cartel. Then he drop's off the dealer in the water n takes off on his boat. I also heard this song on a AWA American Wrestling Association promo intro. This would be a great intro song for wrestling or boxing. U need to a reaction to Won't get fooled again n Roger Daltrey's After The Fire. Ty, checkout that Miami Vice episode of Killshot n listen to the music. Thanks again to put good music.
The Who have long been one of my favorite bands and it's a pleasure to see you two get into them!! My favorite Who song is Won't Get Fooled Again, but I also like The Seeker, The Relay, Pinball Wizard and The Kids Are Alright. I had the pleasure of seeing The Who when they came to Memphis last May, just a few days before Townshend's birthday, and of course they did this song. Also, I don't know if you knew it or not, but Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey, has been their drummer for over 25 years!!
Saw The Who in 1975 with Keith Moon on drums, and again in 2000 with Zak Starkey (Ringo's son) on drums. They are a part of my life. I didn't think my own children would become such fans of theirs ----- but when my teenage daughter saw me watching them perform A Quick One from a VHS tape of the show Rock and Roll Circus ---- she stopped in the middle of the living room and exclaimed "Who Is This Band?!" She couldn't believe she was seeing something from the Sixties.
So many great Who songs, but I think this is my all time favorite. One of Townsend's best. If I had to pick another of my faves, it'd be "You Better You Bet". Such a fun beat.
The Who concert disaster 1979 when 11 people died in a stampede was last I saw them in concert. Never played Cincinnati again. Untill their Epic return to Cincinnati in 2020. Hate I missed it. After 43 yrs they got closure. Thanx so much, Stay groovy, take care, Peace
Before your reaction ever started I thought "Oh, you're going to dig this one". Any band from this era, if you're not crazy about the first couple of songs you hear, keep listening! Soon you'll be hooked. This one has sort of a rap cadence to it so I knew you guys would like it.
The Who are such a great hard driving band. I forgot who said it but I heard another musician say when you are going out with your girl you listen to Led Zeppelin and when your going out to fight you listen to The Who, lol.
Do yourself a favor. Make sure to listen to this song again and again. I swear it gets better each time you listen to it. Each time you will find something else to appreciate about it! Great musicians playing really interesting and complex music.
“Love Reign O’er Me” is a MUST and the sooner you check it out, the better. A musical journey with most powerful Roger Daltry vocals.
Absolutely. Wonderful song.
My favorite Who song! Definitely should be next!
Out of all the songs I absolutely love that’s probably my favorite all time
Agreed
Love Reign O’er Me is musically The Who’s best song, in my opinion. Won’t Get Fooled Again is lyrically the best. Rob Squad’s checked out 50% so far.
Townshend could pack so much into just a few words. "Sun shines; people forget." Wow.
My 72-year-old husband still does not sit still when this comes on. Great jam. Fantastic road trip song.
I’m there at 68!
My mother and father taught me about good music. 47 here.
My husband's 70 year old wife isn't sitting still either!
Aha! I’m 60!
I’m half your husband’s age, but I can’t sit still for this either…
John Entwistle on that bass is everything. 🙌
Yup.
Imagine being 13 years old in 1982 and telling your friends about the song you just heard on the radio, “You know, the Livin’ in Front song…”
@truckinfool3550 I used to think it was "Livin' in the funk" 🤣
I don't know the words to any of my favorite tunes
@@toddprifogle7381 You're kidding, right?

Did the video have Bishops/Cardinals dressed in red strutting around onstage with Nuns?
Yes, they need to see that video, Townsend is ripping on guitar.
I love this one too!
I wasn't really a big fan of the Who, but this lil funky tune was/is my favorite. Still bobb'n my head and tapp'n my toes to this after all these years!!!
I agree about the video. First time I saw it I was like what is this and it’s not Roger!
This song BANGS! With that funky bass line, you can’t help but turn it up.
This is one of my favorites. Also, if you want to hear Entwistle absolutely rip on bass have a listen to The Real Me from Quadrophenia.
Driving slowly through the city on a warm summer night with this song blasting from the speakers. Perfect fit.
And the keyboards are HARD
Kenny Jones is the drummer here. He joined The Who after Keith Moon passed away. Kenny previously was in The Faces with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones.
Hands down, one of my all time favorite Who songs.
This and You Better You Bet are some of my favorite Who songs.

. Have you seen the live video from Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto Mary?
Almost all of their songs were written by Pete Townshend.
It's not CHRISTMAS without the EAGLES! (must have the TEMPTATIONS also) 👍❣️😃❣️👍
I recall a contemporary It's Hard review that said it was a good song, but the rhythm section were not up to delivering what' was needed. Unbelievable!
John Entwhistle bass is 2nd to none! His riffs are so amazing

"the real me" and "love reign o'er me" are two songs by the who, you definitely need to hear
From the mid-80s, this was probably the Who's last big hit. Even so, it's one of my favorites. It's less a song and more of a jam session with words thrown in. Love it! 🎶
"It's less a song and more of a jam session with words thrown in."

@@calvinkatt662 Damn right!
You nailed it, Chris. My thoughts exactly. That backbeat is driving the song.

@@bazzer124 cheers to you as well. I knew it came out while I was in college. I guess it came out my sophomore year rather than my senior year.

He said the song is about "the absurdity of drug-fueled grandiosity," possibly related to the Ativan detox program he went through shortly before writing the song.
This is definitely my favorite of theirs. That bass line is infectious!!!
The Who is an amazing band. In some ways, they defined rock n' roll, in others, they defied it, all the while just really doing their own thing.
Eminence Front is killer. The Who did well on MTV, which was huge in the 80s (I was in college). Getting airtime from The Who included You Better You Bet (1981) and Eminence Front (1982).
One of the first songs I heard from The Who over 40 years ago.
This song is still to this day 🔥
The Who is one of my favorite bands. Love Reign O're Me is beautiful
Townshend has introduced the song in live performances with: "This song is about what happens when you take too much white powder; it's called 'Eminence Front'".
Love Reign O'er Me & Behind Blue Eyes two of greatest rock ballads ever . Give them a listen.
You seem to always get the message behind the lyrics, as well as appreciating the musical talent of the band. 👍✊👏
I was scrolling to see what to watch and this showed up. I said oop here we go !! I knew you guys would love it!! Great song
Glad you mention the Bass! That was some nasty Bass playing!
Another thing is the lead singer in this song is Pete Townsend. The lead vocals for the majority of the songs by The Who was Roger Daltrey
Again Amber caught the meaning of the lyrics. But even more, both of you were into that amazing groove. It just doesn’t allow you to sit still.
Pete Townsend was a prolific song writer and singer. You should listen to one of his solo efforts……Rough Boys…… you won’t be disappointed.
Have loved this song forever and still as good as the first time I heard it.
Exactly Amber! Eminent Front, it's a Put On!
I always like the way this songs just continues to build. Added one element after another
WHAT A BANGER! That bass line is fire 🔥
Bro wtf! Random I was looking and seen u reacted to this video and I had to see and get ur POV or the song. Man much love and respect ❤
They travel with their core band and half a dozen musicians, but hire an entire local orchestra from the towns they do their show in. I find that so cool!😍
Saw them in Denver in Nov. They kicked ass.
One of the most underrated songs of all time.
This song is SO underrated! One of the very best songs by The Who, IMO. Love it!
John 'Thunderfingers' Entwistle on the bass. Everytime I hear that freestyling on the first chorus I get a kick of adrenaline. If you have time check it out isolated its incredible. RIP legend.
This song is hypnotic! The intro is amazing!
The Who has never really been one of my favorite bands, but this is one of their best songs IMO.
One of the times when Pete Townsend was on lead vocals and Roger Daltry was back up. There is so much more of The Who's library that you guys have to get to.
All right my babies.... This is second favorite song by The Who‼️ I wish I really could have seen them live ‼️💯🔥🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Back in the day, I set up a listening room for a high-end audio store. This song was perfect for demonstrating the difference of a good system vs. a great system. PLAY IT LOUD!
"Nobody Can Be You", by Steve Arrington (1983) - BANGER!!
It's a put on...with thunder fingers on bass. Great tune even with Pete singing.
One of Ox's (John Entwistle on bass) best songs. Love this song by the Who. They have so many great songs, and so many different sounds. From Magic Bus to Join Together, Squeeze Box, Love Reign O'er Me, and a little known but personal favorite Helpless Dancer.
Actually this is Pete Townshend's composition, unless you're just referring to John's bass playing.
@@magneto7930 yeah, just his playing on this song.👍
@@andrewwelham8633 gotcha, yes it's great as always! And I agree with your selection of songs up there, that list is definitely endless!

They rocked this and all their songs a few months ago on Columbus, Ohio. Still awesome!💖
Best bass line in rock music. Hands down. When they reach the first chorus, Entwhistle basically goes insane.
My favorite Who song. Back in the day, I considered the Who second only to the Beatles.
You would love "The Rain Song"....... one of their best.
You might want to consider combining your two channels and review the Rock Opera Tommy. The music is by The Who and it stars Sir Elton John. Pinball Wizard is one of the songs in the opera.
Awesome song about the excess of the wealthy in the 80s ("put on" persona's and how people forget their true selves)
"The news slows
People forget
Their shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding"
Minds would definitely be changed with the song "Love, Reign O'er Me". 😁

The Who have so many fantastic songs for you to get to including my favorite "I Can See for Miles" (1967). A few other great ones: "Love Reign O'er Me", "Magic Bus", and Pete Townshend's solo songs "Let My Love Open the Door" and "Face the Face".
Amber nailed the interpretation. Great song!!
Her analysis are becoming more and more sophisticated.
First time hearing this funky piece. Giving me early Pool and the Gang or early Funkadelic.
This is one of my absolute favorite songs from The Who. If you're listening to the lyrics then they are still absolutely applicable.
The greatest bass guitarist that ever lived.
This is Pete Townshend’s song. And it’s brilliant. Everything. The voice, guitar, energy, tempo, everything.
They have such a deep catalouge of songs... but this has always been my favorite....
Jay, you will love this bass line....it is the backbone of this song.. Different lead vocals, also
like that funky bass.
Well, well and well. The Who. My all time favorite Rock Band with so many gray songs over their time. Pete Townshed was a great composer and of course guitar player too. Everyone John Roger and Keith were ALL accomplished musicians and singers. Their have been many great drummers but Keith Moon was so great and love his style. Won’t Get Fooled Again…my favorite
You have to do "Love Reign O'er Me"..... great sounds...Keith Moon on drums.....!aaaaaammmmazzzing
Must Listen to the album
Live at Leads 1970, only 6 songs but kicks ass out the gate.
Hard Live Rock
Miami Vice!! They played this on Miami Vice back in the day and now it's the first thing I think of when I hear it. It's a great song, very evocative of a certain sound of that era.
Such a beautiful woman! Lucky man. Stay safe
Amber & Jordan When I 1st heard Eminence Front by The Who was an Episode of Miami Vice called Killshot their on Don Johnson aka Sonny Crockett's boat making a 2 key drug deal.

Then Crockett starts his fast boat then rides away from his cop buddies as they chase him n the drug dealer in their boat as they hide n try to make a set up meeting with a drug cartel. Then he drop's off the dealer in the water n takes off on his boat. I also heard this song on a AWA American Wrestling Association promo intro. This would be a great intro song for wrestling or boxing. U need to a reaction to Won't get fooled again n Roger Daltrey's After The Fire.

Funky, groovy, infectious, nasty, wicked, righteous… let me know if I forgot anything. This one makes you STOP and take it all in! Pete can’t be beat.
Too bad y’all were not there to see these bands live in concert. It just makes me happy you two enjoy the music I grew up to. 😁😁
"Eminence Front" I think she nailed it, that's exactly what it's about! More suggestions for Who songs: "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Who Are You"

Before your reaction ever started I thought "Oh, you're going to dig this one". Any band from this era, if you're not crazy about the first couple of songs you hear, keep listening! Soon you'll be hooked. This one has sort of a rap cadence to it so I knew you guys would like it.
This Townsend track is also on his solo album called "All good cowboys have Chinese eyes" Great album 👌 A must here any track
The Who are such a great hard driving band. I forgot who said it but I heard another musician say when you are going out with your girl you listen to Led Zeppelin and when your going out to fight you listen to The Who, lol.
I was fortunate to see The Who twice, once in my first life, Live at Leeds and once in my second life at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego. ✌️
"Slit Skirts" from Pete Townsens's solo album" All the Best Cowboys Have Chinese Eyes" is also a track worth a listen. In fact the whole album is .
Do yourself a favor. Make sure to listen to this song again and again. I swear it gets better each time you listen to it. Each time you will find something else to appreciate about it! Great musicians playing really interesting and complex music.
"Won't Get Fooled Again Live From Shepperton Studios" is iconic!!!
Great choice! Jay, the bass playing of John Entwhistle is amazing
John Entwistle…tragically underrated bassist. RIP.
Hey guys !! You REALLY REALLY need to do the LIVE version....you'll love it !!! Greetings
