I saw The Who in 1976 at Madison Square Garden in NYC when I was 16 years old. Our seats were close to the stage. They closed the concert with this song. I think my ears are still ringing. 😂
I saw The Who.....Richmond Coliseum............1983...............I will say as a Gibson and Ric guitar collector.....pains me to see Pete smash guitars
THIS is what hard rock was about, and THIS is what rock stars looked like. I miss those days, when rock and roll was king and the guitar reigned. And perhaps some of the best lyrics in all of rock/pop music: MEET THE NEW BOSS, SAME AS THE OLD BOSS!
The best part? It cost $7.00 to see The Who at Boston Garden in 1976. By 1982, the price skyrocketed to $12.25 to see The Who and The Clash on the same bill at Shea Stadium in NYC. I might be old, but I got to see all the cool bands live!
The Who was once describe as one lead singer, one lead guitarist, one lead bassist and one lead drummer. Four masterful musicians who just gelled to produce some of the greatest rock music ever.
I would recommend anything from the Who performing at the Isle of Wight 1970. Not only because it's a great performance, but you get to see drummer Keith Moon in his prime. This video is fun, but Keith was a shell of himself by this point, and he would pass away soon after. Another great video would be their performance of "A Quick One" at the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus. The Stones were so sure the Who had upstaged them on their own show that it took 30 years for the film to finally be released.
Isle of Wight, Tanglewood or Woodstock are all amazing and within a year of each other in their furious prime. Nothing like them in 69/70, Rock at its best, going toe to toe with Hendrix and the Stones and coming out better for it.
Nah… it’s a plastic headband attached to a pair of headphones for a drummer, we used to sell them 45 years ago at the music store I worked at in the 70’s.
Nice ❤. As someone who has performed on stage a lot, yeah I think it's hilarious that you actually noticed what he was doing with the microphone. That's crazy but we did stuff like that too. I would also say I saw Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam just really go super crazy in that kind of Direction when I saw them live back in the day.
Roger Daltrey é o vocalista, Pete Towshend na guitarra, John Entwistle no baixo e Keith Moon na bateria. Esses caras formaram uma das maiores bandas de rock de todos os tempos. Roger e Pete ainda estão na ativa, fazendo giros pelo mundo com o The Who. John e Keith já morreram. Obrigado por compartilhar esse vídeo e suas reações 👏👏👏
The Who’s halftime Super Bowl performance is a must see, for a quick synopsis of what they could do live. The condensed formate also showcased how great their writing for a Rock audience truly was. Btw Steph, you’ve quickly become one of my UA-cam favorites for your enthusiasm and true passion for discovering the absolute joy of music. Regards
"I Can't Explain" (the Shel Talmy version) "The Kids Are Alright" "I Can See for Miles" "The Real Me" -- The Who -- The ROAR of the British Rock Lion. 🎸🥁🦁
A little bit about the Who for you to keep an eye on as you watch more of their songs. The drummer Keith Moon (Moon the Loon) was widely seen as one of the top rock drummers of all time, alongside John Bohnam from Led Zeppelin, and Cozy Powell, from Rainbow, Deep Purple, Dio etc. Unfortunately he took the whole rock star persona to a whole new level, destroying everything on tour. He drove his Rolls Royce into a swimming pool. He tricked his kit to explode at the end of a live TV performance, but didn't tell the others. It deafened Pete Townsend to this day. The bass player John Entwistle (Thunderthumbs) is INCREDIBLE. The pair of them play their instruments to within an inch of their lives. That leaves Rodger Daltry on vocals, and Pete Townsend on guitar. This performance is a bit special. Keith Moon passed away in 1978, and Pete Townsend's regular guitar is a Fender Telecaster. This performance with this tune is a rather unusual triple humbucker Gibson Les Paul. It's a fuller body sound than the Tele. They destroy their instruments are the end because the audience expects them to do it. It's an expected part of the performance, and it all happened by accident. One night, Keith Moon accidentally kicked his kit over, going a bit wild, and the audience thought it was part of the act. He loved the attention, and destroyed it. At one time, they held the Guinness World Record for the loudest ever live performance. The Who have a couple of movies; Quadrophenia, where they do most of the OST as a double album. It's a gang movie about Mods and Rockers meeting at Brighton Beach in England to fight. There's also a Rock Opera movie / play called Tommy.
One of the best drummers in the world in the 60s and 70s Keith Moon died , this was his last live performance and was not well during it . RIP Keith Moon
I've watched quite a few different Reactors in the past year or 2 now. So far I love "how" you react... you don't stop the vid. 10x to comment on every little thing... you just "feel" it... let it play out.. I always thought that would be a good way to do reactions... your the only one I know who does it... I like your style.\\ P.S. I just realized this is only the 2nd video I've seen you react too so I hope I'm not jumping to conclusions. LOL
Unfortunately it appears from the Wings of Pegasus channel that many of the new singers and quite a few older ones are abusing autotuning and pitch correction to death, and that the computer processing is fast enough to do it in real time so they are singing "live" but what you hear coming out of the speakers is not what went into the microphone.
Absolutely right. Funny that you can overlay Swifts concerts one on the other and they're in time to the millisecond. Go figure, or watch Fil's analysis on his channel as noted above.
The blue laser lights were in the movie Alien, they were filming the movie next door to where The Who was rehursing, the director borrowed them , for the egg scene.
So many good bands back then... highly recommend either. ' Monterey ' 1967. or. Woodstock. 1969 - 2 films of rock festivals with a list of players. several bands were in both.
Love your reaction, Steph. And I think this is a great song to start out with. It really allows you to see a peak performance. There are so many ways you could go now, but a good next step would be "Baba O'Riley" from the same venue.
👍👍👍 Autres titres à voir et à écouter : "Baba o' Riley", "Love reign o'er me", "Who are you", "Behind blues eyes", "Pinball Wizard", "Young man blues" (1970), "A quick one while he's away" (1968), "My generation" (1965), "Eminence front" ...
The lead singer Roger Daltrey has also had an acting career. In my opinion his best film is McVicar. I am a hard core horror fan but his death scene in The Legacy is truly disturbing
I really enjoy watching your generation. Discover what I grew up with. I get a kick at how many kids from your generation are fearful of the spinning microphone. Our generation took a lot more chances. Because that's all we had. Please read the lyrics to this song. It gives you a wonderful comprehension of history. And the absurdity of war
John was the best musician in the group as much as Keith is praised to be the best drummer ever (and he was one of the best) but John Entwistle was the only one that could really rival a John Paul Jones. You should listen to The Real Me - I think it‘s the best rock bass playing ever even beating Ramble On, and that bass riff is iconic as hell. But what John is doing on The Real Me is out of this world! Lyrically a song for the Americans now, that just never will learn… sorry.
Well hello beautiful my favorite band of the 1960s British invasion which you had the Beatles The rolling Stones and The Who The Who lasted way longer than the other two rolling Stones are still out but they released anything good and forever Beatles were gone by 1970s and the who just kept getting better with age other songs you should check out are who are you baba O'Riley Eminence front long live rock behind Blue eyes I can go on forever cutie get ready for an Energizer Bunny Pete Townsend the lead guitar performance man that guy never stops moving around you can tell by watching this they have so much fun on stage they were also known for tearing the stage apart when they were young destroying hotel rooms they were like the bad boys of rock and roll back then in took them forever to calm down unfortunately after this was recorded Keith Moon died not long after May rest in peace
Blows my mind that people would suggest this coked up obnoxious performance for reactors over the perfect studio version that sounds the way it's supposed to be heard. Pete's playing is ridiculous.
Nice reaction. If you want subs and viewers respond and give out some likes. It's a two way street. I have channels subbed for years I watch every week. Why? Because they heart me or give thumbs up and even reply to a comment. Channels that ignore my feedback get unsubed eventually.
Sitting there with NO emotional engagement...get the hell off this page! 'Oh, I'm pretty, and I just sit looking good'...get out of here! Show some engagement and som 'thought'!!!!!
One of the absolute greatest bands in history. Seriously. We cannot let the who be lost to history. These guys were the bomb.
Even though Keith and John are gone, The Who is touring in 2025!
@@bostonwhofan That's great,better than gardening.

This, this is what a top tier rock & roll band was/ is/ and always will be. Long live the Who. 👊🏻

@@bostonwhofan Did things go up in price or did the value of the US dollar go down?

These cats were loud and undoubtedly one of the 5 top bands of rock and roll🤘❤️
Most watchers are hypnotized by the show and forget the depth of the lyrics.
I saw The Who perform this in concert in 1980 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. My favorite live band.
Superb lyrics. So prophetic. So true.
I would recommend "A Quick One While He's Away" from the Rock and Roll Circus. Or "Young Man Blues" live from the Isle of Wight
WOW THE WAY PETE TOWNSHEND COULD JUMP AND KEEP PLAYING THE SONG IS INCREDIBLE ....PURE TALENT ❤
They were great in concert❤
Watching young Pete do his "windmills" is glorious.
She's gorgeous 💕
Just because Roger Daltrey had long curly blond hair doesn't mean he is a she!!
Listen up America!
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
That is ROCK N ROLL!

Agreed, this is Moon at about 70%, competent behind the kit but nothing like he was in the shows you mentioned.
Isle of Wight, Tanglewood or Woodstock are all amazing and within a year of each other in their furious prime. Nothing like them in 69/70, Rock at its best, going toe to toe with Hendrix and the Stones and coming out better for it.
Keith Moon was one of the hardest rock drummers ever...
Kieth Moon invented hard rock-heavy metal drumming just by being himself. check out "I can see for Miles" by the who
Incredible performance! 🤘
Keith Moon was so wild on drums he had his headset duct taped to his head!!!
Great song and a great show. I got to see them once and I had a blast. Good reaction
Great song from my second favorite Who album!
check out the duct tape holding the headphones to moon's head!
Nah… it’s a plastic headband attached to a pair of headphones for a drummer, we used to sell them 45 years ago at the music store I worked at in the 70’s.
Amazingly, Peter Townsend (Guitar) and Roger Daltry (vocals), are still performing together 2024!☮

Great stuff.. Great 70;s rock... Great React.
The Who have lots good songs. My Generation is my favourite. Well worth a listen, Steph.
My Generation, Live at Leeds,would blow her mind!
" well worth a listen steph "
Still getting excited and fantasising, numb nuts? LMAO
What a sad loser.
Love Reign Over Me is a step in the opposite direction of this song. A rock love song.
All the Who songs are great.
John Entwhistle’s bass guitar is all over this song! My favorite part and I’m a drummer! No disrespect to Moon!
At least spell his name correctly 🤦♂
Lazers, before it was made unlawful for concerts to point them directly into the audiences eyes. LOL Oh, and it was awesome to experience.
Ridley Scott asked the Who if he could use their Laser Effect Machine for his ALIEN Movie...the Rest is History !
Everybody in that crowd was "Baked". CCR's John Fogerty told a funny story about it.

Roger Daltrey has been swinging his microphone like that, since the 1960’s, & as far as I know, there haven’t been any serious injuries.
babe, you have no idea how we Rocked back in the day...still do... Foo Fighters, Never Surrender!!! ;-)
"I Can't Explain" (the Shel Talmy version) "The Kids Are Alright" "I Can See for Miles" "The Real Me" -- The Who -- The ROAR of the British Rock Lion. 🎸🥁🦁
Roger Daltrey: one of best voices and best microphone launcher of ‘70s of sure! 😂
ive seen this vid hundreds of times.....will see it a hundred more they are the best....long live rock and the who
You will love "A quick one while he's away" by the Who, live at the magic circus. (1968)

Baba O'Reilly is another great Who song to do a reaction video with. The live version was with this same concert.
The best live rock n roll band EVER!! Nobody could touch The Who live in their prime not even Zep. Rock stars like this are a thing of the past.
The ultimate rock band and the ultimate live performance.

Know this we were elbows on the stage close. It was so fun.
Never tire of that base and the drums

One of the original punk rock bands. It's a lot about attitude.

They had to duct tape Keith Moon's headphones to his head!
Keith "I don't need no stinking high hat" Moon.
Pinball Wizard is a must watch
79 ATL same show -Moon

i was high when i saw them 78 or 79, don't know

The draft and Vietn
You have to listen to the who - who are you promo video it's a good song and funny video
This is time capsule…
Total lesson in Politics. Learn!!
Overshadowed by Led Zeppelin. But Moon and Bonzo were pals.
Blows my mind that people would suggest this coked up obnoxious performance for reactors over the perfect studio version that sounds the way it's supposed to be heard. Pete's playing is ridiculous.
Too bad an insufficient number of US voters have neither heard nor appreciated the meaning of this old song.
Nope, the communists will NEVER fool us again!
They will find out soon 😢
Get over it - Red all the way - the new boss is very much not the old boss (Thank God and the awakened American voters)
Spot On man, and we will all pay the price for their ignorance and just plain stupidity.
meet the new boss, helluva lot better than the old boss!
