The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (Live at Kilburn 1977). Sorry for the splitted video. And don't forget to listen at full blasted volume and use HEADPHONES!
Listening to The Who is like watching a drunken elephant stagger from one side of a china shop to the other, without breaking a single dish somehow. Reckless, dangerous, chaotic, perfect. Everybody is playing lead breaks at the same time, but it works somehow. That's The Who.
Your comment and those that agree seem to lack the view, perception, perspective depth, expression of THE WHO and in particular this song, perhaps their live show presentation, show, energy, etc. 😒 Not even "Rolling Stone" magazine writers would have lacked such in their description, perception, feeling, expression and depth ... then. 😑 Thus, the statements are basically foolish nonsense. 😒 Sincerely 😃
@@johnpaulclarkson4671 Along with Jack Casady, Jack Bruce, Barry Oakley, Chris Squire, Geddy Lee and Andy Fraser to name a few (though I can't play nearly as well as any of them).
There are just not enough shots of John Entwhistle in this video. Listen to those lines. His musicianship is almost free form playing with Townshend, Moon and Daltrey’s vocals almost simultaneously. Pure genius. I picked up the bass 45 years ago and never took a lesson after hearing him play My Generation.
Sure, I've done that with the multi-camera part of "The Kids are Alright" DVD. Since I could only do 3 screens at a time, I just taped a photo of the Ox to the bottom of my TV.
The most dynamic thing John Entwistle does is casually take two steps back when Pete takes a run and slide over to his side of the stage. And I love him for it. What a band.
I think Entwistle's static stage presence and intricate bass lines held the band together on stage. We'll never know but I think things would have been too chaotic if he'd been leaping around with the rest of them. Entwistle's bass playing on Quadrophenia is sublime.
7:45 for everybody who wants to see it without watching the whole video. Which you should do anyway. This is what God was thinking of when he created Rock'n'Roll, with a grin on his face so evil it made Lucifer shiver. :)
That's not true 🤩 THANK GOD I'm the guitarist of such a band!!! ua-cam.com/video/isjGsh4AlpQ/v-deo.html (Sound is weak, but wait `till you hear us LIVE!)

Entwistle didn't particuarly care for Magic Bus since it was so repetitious for him, but how dynamic it was...like a second drumbeat! Especially on Live at Leeds.
I can remember going to see Bill Hayley " Rock around the Clock" in 1955, and my late father said, what a row , it will never last ", and here I am 65 years later, STILL listening to rock music. No dad, it'll never last.
That bassline! With moons drums!! Pete's guitar and Rogers vocals ! amazing ! This!! Is what you call classical hard rock!! Keith moon is a legend , ....oh...and he's a drummer too
@@timfarrell6968 He gets heaps of recognition man as do the who. Hes nowhere near as innovative or capable a gutarist as the other british greats like jimmy page, clapton, jeff back etc so I think he gets credited well for what he does in the who.
Was at the Houston concert where Pete jumped while windmilling his guitar, lost his balance and fell on his ass.. He never missed a beat, and soloed on his back! It was AWESOME!😬👍
I was watching Fanny on the beat club sessions and was surprised by how wild yet controlled Alice de Buhr was on the drums and in one of the videos sections she so reminded me of Keith Moon. Everything was perfect but so crazy too.
Keith Moon was the most amazing drummer. He never kept time, but he was as musical and powerful as anyone who slammed those sticks on the skins that you could imagine. He made it look easy! A true rock and roll powerhouse!
Entwhistle has to be the best bassist in the classic rock era. He does nail this one but The Real Me has the absolutely greatest bass line of anything I’ve ever heard. Listen to it with bass and mid up
Geezer, Lee both great, I also think highly of Peter Baltes -Accept. Entwistle might have a hair on them, really though, you all forget one person(and he came along later ) Les Claypool, I think he is the best. He is Jimmy Page on Bass. Primus may not be for alot of folks , but I suggest listening some of Claypool's playing,.Stuff doesn't sound possible at times, and he definitely is original. I am an old school rocker but I'll give credit where credit is due

To my mind John Entwisle was a brilliant bassist and kept this group together, not just on this song but many more. Not sure that I have heard a more pro active bassist, ever!
Well I know I'm an old fart now but there is no modern band that can give out half that raw energy and moon and Entwistle thumping away behind is incredible.
From one old fart to another, there never was, and probably, no definately, never will be, any band that can come anywhere near the Who. Marvelous live, and recorded, and I wish I was as energetic now as I was at their gigs. Happy days....
How Pete does not go arm over apex with those strides and a guitar cable I shall never know, such a fantastic band and certainly some of the very best rock songs EVER!
Just listen to that bass (well all the band of course). John Entwhistle is playing lead on the bass.. Brilliant.. The best powerhouse Rock and Roll band ever and probably the best rock anthem ever!
Its all the beatles and the stones but really the who were mighty ! What an era of uk music. So much skilled talent the list of bands from 60s uk is huge
Heck, also maybe the best rock album ever. It starts with Baba O'Riley, which as I type in June, 2020, nearly 50 years later, has one of the most frequently used and recognizable riffs,, and ends with Won't Get Fooled Again. The songs in the middle aren't quite at the level of these classics, but there's not a mediocre song on *Who's Next*. They were the first band to use volume effectively. They invented metal, or *heavy* metal, as it was called. (You can hear them doing it on later releases of Live at Leeds, especially on the 15 minute version of My Generation). Pete wrote, and the band performed, the first successful rock opera. In their prime they were electrifying. No one has rocked harder. No one has ever had songs to do it. Just an awesome band.
Townshend plays so accurate - while showing Bruce Lee some kicks and Fred Astaire some dance moves. His chords are sharp like razor blades - and he misses not one. What high quality of musicianship and showmanship!!!!
4orrcountry You and I know, of course, though other less intelligent mortals walk benighted under the midday sun. What d'ye think of that then, Sunshine?
It's interesting how the lyrics of this song that were so true in the 70's is still so true today. We all have the same boss who's just using a new way to control things.
Einfach einmalig, ich hatte die Ehre the Who in Nürnberg auf dem Zeppelinfeld zu sehen. Mit nichts zu vergleichen, unbeschreiblich gut, das nimmt man mit ins Grab 😅
Entwhistle was the rock that anchored the group. The other three could be as wild as they wanted to be and John would be standing off to the left playing away calm and cool.
He's proof that you can be the greatest bass player in the history of rock without having to take anything away from anyone else's performance. Every single note he played only ever made the rest of the band sound that much better.
Well said, and very true, of course if he hadn't burned so brightly they'd never have been able to break thru the atmosphere and into orbit. It was better that they went into space for a short time then not at all, and all that was due to Keith Moon atomic candle.

Hell of beautifully harmonized song. Three visionary, imaginative, rough, and quintessentially musical Englishmen and a masterful, powerful bass genius keeping them and their music together.
There is a video on UA-cam of his bass track from this song isolated so you get to really hear what he's playing. I'm not sure links work but if they do ua-cam.com/video/80dsyo2Ox-0/v-deo.html
This is just one example of the greatest live rock band. The beatles stones zeppelin--- no one came close to this perfection on the live stage. NO ONE! LONG LIVE ROCK AND THE WHO
"THE WHO" was known as the loudest Rock Band in the World. When you were walking out of a Concert Hall after listening to these guys play there many Hit tunes you were DEAF as a post and grinning from ear to ear. "ELECTRIFIED" and probably Stoned as well. Great Rock Band for sure!
This was the band. This was the song. That rocked audiences stronger than any other. If you are among (the now elderly) few who witnessed them then. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You know what I mean.
ArneYoga You are so right on! The energy behind the music you had to experience live! No words can ever explain this. I was lucky to have seen most of the greats. Everything was so alive. And forget what you dead. A lot of us did not get into the drugs etc. We are still trying to do good in the world. Peace!
Best live rock performance ever? It has to be up there doesn't it? No doubt that Won't Get Fooled Again is the best rock track ever written (in my opinion) that image of Daltrey as a silhouette in the lights during the sampler section is surely one of the most iconic moments in rock history!
It's 2021 and looking back The Who was such astonishing amazing band; John's bass, Keith's drums, Roger`s powerful voice and Pete's energy and windmills on stage were so outstanding. Probably why I wrote a paper about them in college. Rock on......
I thought I saw John move a couple of inches to the left, and then back to standing still again, I could be mistaken? But still, the best drummer in the world, and the best bass player in the world, in the same band? AWESOME, that's the stuff rock and roll wet dreams are made of!!!!!!!!
I think he moved an inch and a half, but you were close enough. Entwistle was an absolutely phenomenal bass player. Check Quadrophenia for some examples. I think Entwistle's static stage presence was one reason why the Who have always been such a great live act. Much as I love the Who, I'm not sre all four of them leaping around on stage would have worked.
That's how I feel about Leon Russell, Jacksonville, 1973. There were 20,000 of us in the Coliseum, and he killed us without stopping for 2 hours ... and we were all glad to die.
Entwhistle’s bass playing is off the chart! 😳
Was always a cool song, Moon and those drums were spectacular.
Every member of The Who is a frontman . Incredible.
Words cannot adequately describe how great these four were.
Seen the Who three times. LA, Toronto, and Buffalo. Nobody and I mean nobody could touch these guys live.
Many guys close to my age, 50, will tell you that this was the first band that we seriously got into.

peter england "Knowledgeable"? How the hell could ANYONE miss it??
4orrcountry You and I know, of course, though other less intelligent mortals walk benighted under the midday sun. What d'ye think of that then, Sunshine?
There is a video of this song with just the isolated bass, it's stunning.
I was in my moms womb when my folks saw the Who in New Haven... think I was born with tinnitus... and a great taste in music
Yea, I blame my mom also.......😏
@@annielane5621 we got cool moms!
😂😂😂 .....tinnitus ...indeed. well if you are gonna get it ..might as well be the best rock band in history that gives it to ya
tinnitus or rather some guitar feedback?
Happy Birthday ,RIP Keith Moon
Mr. Entwistle on lead bass, five stars!
It's interesting how the lyrics of this song that were so true in the 70's is still so true today. We all have the same boss who's just using a new way to control things.
My mask is more compliant than yours. 😷
... 40+ years later, this still matters!!! THE WHO !!!
Keith was happy and it's contagious. Keep rockin in heaven mate
Einfach einmalig, ich hatte die Ehre the Who in Nürnberg auf dem Zeppelinfeld zu sehen. Mit nichts zu vergleichen, unbeschreiblich gut, das nimmt man mit ins Grab 😅
I am listening with headphones on and Entwhistle is fantastic.
Leonard Vaivada and the camera barely finds this still guy. I love him, man. RIP.
Entwhistle was the rock that anchored the group. The other three could be as wild as they wanted to be and John would be standing off to the left playing away calm and cool.
He's proof that you can be the greatest bass player in the history of rock without having to take anything away from anyone else's performance. Every single note he played only ever made the rest of the band sound that much better.
Keith Moon. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
Well said, and very true, of course if he hadn't burned so brightly they'd never have been able to break thru the atmosphere and into orbit. It was better that they went into space for a short time then not at all, and all that was due to Keith Moon atomic candle.
@@robertkess9907 I wish that " it weren't so Joe, " sadly you are so correct. Stay safe my virtual friend. Keep spreading the word. I adore your rhetoric.. love from Canterbury U.K.
Very profound !
@@MrMotorNerd And along comes Debbie Downer.
@@robertkess9907Just counter it with Uppers !
what a rhythm section, for all time !!!
Hell of beautifully harmonized song. Three visionary, imaginative, rough, and quintessentially musical Englishmen and a masterful, powerful bass genius keeping them and their music together.
The greatest A chord in rock and roll
Also, nobody can ever start a song with an Esus 4 again. Like if you know what song I'm talking about.
@TrampolineLemons behind blue eyes :)
Keith Moon was one hell of a drummer! rip Keith and John
Anybody could play like him if you are on the drugs he was!! LOL
His expressions is priceless. Where's me sticks man?😆🏆🥁
@JPC, you can’t.
Wow! John Entwistle's bass line is not from Earth! Unbelievably amazing!
There is a video on UA-cam of his bass track from this song isolated so you get to really hear what he's playing. I'm not sure links work but if they do ua-cam.com/video/80dsyo2Ox-0/v-deo.html
@@disprogreavette8545 thank you so very much!
@@gleiseroliveira609 your welcome. There is also an isolated bass track for Baba O'Riley from the same show. Cheers
@@disprogreavette8545 ok, thanks again. I'll look for Baba O'Riley too. This guy was really incredible on bass.
Entwistle just over there calmly sculpting a bass part masterpiece amidst the chaos. I had to rewind a few of those 16th note licks too. What a sound.
Man could this be the single greatest performance of a live song in Rock n Roll history by any band! Keith Moon no words! John E. Bass damn!!
Kind of bittersweet to know that only a couple of months later, Keith would die. They were the best of all of the best in my opinion.
A thousand pardons. Keith in fact died 8 or 9 months later depending on the particular day this was filmed....
This is just one example of the greatest live rock band.
The beatles stones zeppelin--- no one came close to this perfection on the live stage. NO ONE!
LONG LIVE ROCK AND THE WHO
One of the most iconic songs of all time played as always with gusto that only The Who can muster!
Unfortunately we were fooled again
"THE WHO" was known as the loudest Rock Band in the World. When you were walking out of a Concert Hall after listening to these guys play there many Hit tunes you were DEAF as a post and grinning from ear to ear. "ELECTRIFIED" and probably Stoned as well. Great Rock Band for sure!
WHAT????????????????
deep purple = loudest
Deep Purple is the loudest, is in Guinness World Record's book.
@@ricktimmons458 Whaaaaattt? that's exactly right LMMFAO.
@@mattia7556 I thought it was My Bloody Valentine?
The best live takes, of one of the best rock songs, by one of the best bands of rock history. F¥€£ing brilliance.......
Surely the best song ever played live. Christ Almighty.
Fuck me ,one of the best clips of the Who i've watched with Keith Moon drumming, memories will live on. !!
This was the band.
This was the song.
That rocked audiences stronger than any other.
If you are among (the now elderly) few who witnessed them then.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You know what I mean.
ArneYoga You are so right on! The energy behind the music you had to experience live! No words can ever explain this. I was lucky to have seen most of the greats. Everything was so alive. And forget what you dead. A lot of us did not get into the drugs etc. We are still trying to do good in the world. Peace!
Madison Square Garden. Keith was sober . . . I think
Dallas Memorial Auditorium.....Yeah👍🏼
saw them in 82.i was 20 then but i wished i could have saw them with moon the loon but they were awesome when i saw them!
Fillmore East, anyone?
meanwhile Entwistle stands out by playing his bass
Best live rock performance ever? It has to be up there doesn't it?
No doubt that Won't Get Fooled Again is the best rock track ever written (in my opinion) that image of Daltrey as a silhouette in the lights during the sampler section is surely one of the most iconic moments in rock history!
It's 2021 and looking back The Who was such astonishing amazing band; John's bass, Keith's drums, Roger`s powerful voice and Pete's energy and windmills on stage were so outstanding. Probably why I wrote a paper about them in college. Rock on......
Only the Greatest Rock and Roll Drummer of all time, Keith Moon.
Been a Who fan since the 60's. Damn we're old! Still loving the music.
One of the best on stage theatrical performances EVER !!!!!!
I love to watch this video, from an era that never will come back qua music.
I thought I saw John move a couple of inches to the left, and then back to standing still again, I could be mistaken?
But still, the best drummer in the world, and the best bass player in the world, in the same band?
AWESOME, that's the stuff rock and roll wet dreams are made of!!!!!!!!
I think he moved an inch and a half, but you were close enough. Entwistle was an absolutely phenomenal bass player. Check Quadrophenia for some examples. I think Entwistle's static stage presence was one reason why the Who have always been such a great live act. Much as I love the Who, I'm not sre all four of them leaping around on stage would have worked.
This song NEVER gets OLD!
Great version. Excellent sound mix. Superb band.
Fantastic version of a fantastic song. What a performance
A time when giants strode the planet.
Damm right! All we got now are silly little children who know nothing about MUSIC, love and peace.
Yep.. this is why we are all done here. We have accepted crap for 30 years and now its over..
@@justinfontaine5539 I know it's over! Still I cling. The smiths, the last GREAT band.
Giants flanked by a wall of 100W Hiwatts!
@@mikeluke9404 Morrisey is nothing at all without Marr
That might be the most enthralling finale in all of rock.
Being at this concert would have been the highlight of my life. That's saying something. I'm 154 years old.
ditto
That's how I feel about Leon Russell, Jacksonville, 1973. There were 20,000 of us in the Coliseum, and he killed us without stopping for 2 hours ... and we were all glad to die.
i’ve re-watched this a dozen times over the months. i love it when keith flings off his headphones at end
