Songs like Naked Eye, Heaven and Hell and Water are so underrated...incredible songs that are easily overlooked due to the volume of incredible songs The Who cracked out....
3 of my favorites, 1970 Isle of Wight concert has great stuff on it including me songs. This is a great show CT Townsend is playing more lead than usual love it
For most artists, performing this well with a drunk guitarist in front of 80,000 people would be the highlight of their career. For the Who, it was Saturday.
They are simply " the greatest classic rock band of all time." They had massive sound, they had rock attitude, they had energy and visually fun to watch, and very unpredictable. Pete TOWNSHEND himself, was a master of the visual art and we'll be the most electrifying rock performer of all time. THANK YOU TO THE WHO.
Wow...what a nice tribute to the Who...i saw them in Cleveland in July of "89, their 25th anniversary tour...it was awesome...of course i was trippin'...lol...but one of the most memorable concerts in my mind...cracks me up when they're not mentioned with the Beatles and the Stones...the sole reason why I believe, is that they are just too heavy...Townshend's guitar by far overtakes anything the others had to offer...the Beatles are my fav...but let's get serious...the Who belong among in the same breath as the best...PEACE
It's a remarkable performance of that song because it's it following so exactly that thin line between brutalism and beauty that The Who always tries to hit
@@timhoovermusicman From Pete himself: “It was also the day before my twenty-ninth birthday. I wasn’t just drunk by the time of the concert - I was smashed. Fortunately, it went off OK.” The guys were all heavy drinkers in those days, especially Keith and Pete. They drank during the performances - you can see Pete’s glass of brandy in his hand after they finish the song, and John has said he always had two bottles with straws taped to his mic stand, one filled with water and the other with brandy. It’s well documented in every biography out there.
Probably my favorite Who song. First heard it in high school and it made me feel like I was being given cryptic advice or secret knowledge. The lyrics are so poignant and the guitar is epic. I love Pete's soloing: it's always reaching, crying, yearning to hit that one note that will explain every lyric in the song...and possible every lyric to every song.
I was at this show - it was the first time I ever saw The Who or indeed any of the acts on the bill.... From Montrose opening the proceedings to The mighty Who closing it, it was a fantastic day out... This incredibly undervalued Who classic was a stand-out... That rhythm section of Keith and John just cooked... Both gone far too soon.
Left off , Who's next, criminally, this always appears to the greatest and central who song. Moons drumming on this song in 70-74 sometimes achieves a trancendence, of the greatest classical drumming in power and impossible timing. On this song, Moon and Entwistle take over completly from Daltrey and Townshend and the message is conveyed like it was Listz or Wagner.
In an interview, Pete is asked about this particular show. His response was close to, "I was pretty pissed (drunk). Don't remember much about the Charlton show." The proof is right here.
The Who - Naked Eye Take a little dope And walk out in the air The stars are all connected To the brain Find me a woman and lay down on the ground Her pleasure comes fallin' down like rain Get myself a car I feel power as I fly Whoa, now I'm really in control It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all! You sign your own name And I'll sign mine They're both the same We still get separate rooms You can cover up your guts But when you cover up your nuts You're admittin' that there must be something wrong Press any button Milk and honey flow The world begins behind your neighbor's wall It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all! You hold the gun And I hold the wound And we stand lookin' in each other's eyes It all looks fine To the naked eye! But it don't really happen that way at all! Don't happen that way at all!
“We’re not pawns in any game. Not tools of bigger men. There’s only one who can really move us all.” Such deep, beautiful lyrics. Understanding there is more than what’s on earth.
@@brianjacob8728 That's the whole Townshendian ambiguity of it, isn't it? Does the verse go: "Both think we know what's right, both know we know what's wrong, we tell ourselves so many many many lies. We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men..." or "Both think we know what's right, both know we know what's wrong, we tell ourselves so many many many lies: 'We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men...'"
I was there..I remember I spent Maggie Bell's set trying to find the toilet, Lou Reed was heckled for wearing a black leather cat suit and matching shades plus he was terrible,, Bad Company seemed disconnected and going through the motions, Humble pie were great and the orrible OOW were bloody brilliant! Great days!
Steve Counsel’s other channel I am soooo seriously jealous....I have never envied what other people have....just what incredible things they have experienced....The Who....my absolutely favorite band of all time....😁
I love Pete's face when Roger inexplicably starts singing his line.... ( at 2'45") And yes, this wasn't the best Who concert, but Naked Eye was a highpoint
Love watching the interaction between Moon and Townsend...usually it's the bass and drummer that lock together but not in the Who! Which is why they were so different and so very great...
They had a unique dynamic no other band had. The Bass and drums provided melody while the guitar and singer were rhythm...stunning, breathtaking and phenomenal!
Pete is so creative, unpredictable and expressive and Roger is so steady and reliable and predictable (not in a bad way) and the dynamic is often frustrating for someone like Pete but it is great when it seems he knows it works as a whole to deliver for the audience
I was there and it's not true about the sound being turned up only for The Who it was really powerful all day with Humble Pie being exceptionally loud in the afternoon.
Having seen this for the first time and as a lifelong fan. I can now fully understand why Roger quit the band, threw some punches, and flushed their pills. He didn't know what Pete was going to play next, but ebbed and flowed the best he could. Kinda like he did that roll after Pete did his final high kick and fell down at Live-Aid.
Hey y'all git yo monies worth? These guys always did put on a great performance. Took 1 of their more obscure songs & turned it n2 a kick-ass jam, rite here...again.
Even quite inebriated, The Who was a superior band live on stage to the overrated, plagiaristic Bloated Blimp. Entwistle and Moon are particularly on fire here.
Nah...Bonham and JPJ were absolutely brutal great as a rhythm section.Page at his best was also fantastic.BUT a junked up Page and a drunken Bonham together was a train wreck.
I was there and I agree with Secretagent Guitar. The volume went up noticeably for the The Who but they did not play their best set. Townsend was not on form and Daltrey seemed to know it! Lou Reed was really poor, Lindisfarne did what the always do which is to engineer a sing-a-long, Bad Company I seem to remember ran out of numbers and ended playing Easy On My Soul twice and Humble Pie, although good, were better suited to clubs than stadiums. Can't remember Montrose's set!
If you ever see a film of a SS unit in the 1930's. You'll see the drummer is everything. The drum and the thrown standard, ritual. Thats the point of old SS boy, Gunter Grass in the Tin Drum. Its more than a satire on Hitler, "I only wanted to be a the drummer". The SS boy divisions would have been propelled in the Falise gap by a drummer like 18 year old , Moon. When I played the Tin Drum film, in back packers, I found Oskars scream and drums, didn't just smash glass, they set the owners, Poodle howling. Musical genius might be Joan Baez, breaking mirrors with her high pitch voice , or the calculated, screams, winces, cross cut lyrics and guitar caressing of those old beautiful predatory public school boys of Led Zep, aiming for sounds the blow the self control in 15 year old girls or the classically trained Pat Benetar, violating and abusing every classical music standard to emphasise the animal chord that blows the mind of males.
@@johntuttle4486 There’s a bootleg DVD called Soccer Rock that contains The Who’s entire set from this show, as well as an interview Pete Townshend did around the same time.
Moon was pretty on here, but something was a little soggy... could it be the bass playing? Compared to other live cuts, I'd say yes, John was C-game compared to the very high bar he had set for himself. I'm usually deeply impressed.
This performance 76? Nah. Gold kit gives it away. Absolute very end of 73 through 74 was the gold kit. After that for 75/76 it was the white kit. Also note this kit has the four concert toms out front (distinctive sound vs the double headed ones around the snare). By 75 that became six, using two smaller ones (10 and 12) with the 15 and 16 moved to the right. This is definitely 74 footage.
This clip is from Charlton 1974. The Who were the main draw of a festival that included Humble Pie, Lou Reed and Bad Company. The Who’s set can be found on a DVD entitled Soccer Rock.
@@vinceventresca6763 I've been looking for a decent recording of Charlton 74 for years, Had no idea the Who's set can be found on a DVD! I'll take up my search again..Soccer Rock, thanks", 👍
On Naked Eye you see, Moon for what he is. A boys brigade drummer. A miltiary drummer. Moon has nothing to do with rock and roll. He is the boy drummer of the sort who would have driven the British or Napoleon army in the 18c. Have a look at the Kubrick film and you will understand the glory of the marching Prussian or English army, cannot be subverted by even a pacifist film maker. Tim Page said the same , you couldn't destroy the beauty of the Phantoms or F-8s or the hell in the Vietnamese night.
Course he has something to do with rock and roll, he was the best of the best. He wasn't in the boy's brigade that long he eventually got drumming lessons off of Carlo Little of Screaming Lord Sutch, he was the person who really taught him to play and showed him the ropes. Keith then took it from there and evolved and became what he became, a legend.
Lol u must be having a laugh - Keith Moon was the greatest drummer that ever breathed - FACT - now go and wash your mouth out and give your head a shake - boys brigade drummer- lol - and what band do you drum for ?
Humble Pie were so good on this day that a huge portion of the audience went home before these useless Mod twats came on. Marriot ripped his thumb nail, asked for a whiskey, disinfected his thumb in it and carried on. Wicked set. Blew us all away... the who????.......think it was Maggie Bell came on afterwards.......but we went home and shared a railway carriage with Brian Eno and his Mrs.......nice end to the day............
Dear Alister, as I mentioned earlier, I was commenting on the group in the video. I have an opinion on their performance. I was there that day and paid to enter, so feel I have the right to my opinion. It is a form of intellectual discourse, should you ever become educated you may find it valuable for communicating with other intelligent people. And why describe yourself as a tool? That is obvious to all.
Harley Bretta Well Harley you were there that night ok, but that wasn' t one of their best concerts (pete was way too drunk for example) so I think you shouldn' t judge them for just one concert. You can hear live at leeds 1970, live at hull 1970, philadelphia 1973, swansea 1976, young vic 1971, etc, etc.Here´s and example: ua-cam.com/video/NILBzHIwUco/v-deo.html
So true, and it was a long,long day.....and once in you couldn't get out.....by the time The Pie had finished we were near the front and there were spates of can throwing from further back in the crowd.......it was time to go,which is why so many did. They were, however Mods......and I wasn't........just a teenager thing....!
these performances represent the time when they were greatest.
1971 would like to have a word...
Always loved how Pete & the band could go from thunderous power to gently strumming in a moment
The whole band as if they were one
Yeah!
This is the ultimate jam. The Who are the best band ever. Long live rock!
I'll tell you about my art
I'm doing a painting of my meeting Keith Moon
I'll never get over it 'till the day I die.
I need it every night 🌉
Any competition to them we're either one hit wonders or one hit Wonder albums. They kept it up for decades they are the best!!!!!

You really noticed something really essential..
@@marceibel1131 at 2:22 pete plays 3 chords that for me are like the meaning of life...
The only performance I've ever seen where Pete was more drunk than Keith.
They'd been playing for 2 hours at this point... When did he have a chance to get drunk? He was in a zone of rock... On another time and place...

I saw them in 2006, 2007, 2015 and 2017. I would have liked to have been there in 1974. They will come back to Europe in 2025
I Played Bass in a Band. And John entwistle is one of the best Bass Player
Nothin" like THE WHO. The greatest band
And loudest for sure
I was there. A brilliant day of music.

Still great performance
The Who - Naked Eye
Take a little dope
And walk out in the air
The stars are all connected
To the brain
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground
Her pleasure comes fallin' down like rain
Get myself a car
I feel power as I fly
Whoa, now I'm really in control
It all looks fine
To the naked eye!
But it don't really happen that way at all!
Don't happen that way at all!
You sign your own name
And I'll sign mine
They're both the same
We still get separate rooms
You can cover up your guts
But when you cover up your nuts
You're admittin' that there must be something wrong
Press any button
Milk and honey flow
The world begins behind your neighbor's wall
It all looks fine
To the naked eye!
But it don't really happen that way at all!
Don't happen that way at all!
You hold the gun
And I hold the wound
And we stand lookin' in each other's eyes
It all looks fine
To the naked eye!
But it don't really happen that way at all!
Don't happen that way at all!
Good lord, Roger’s voice is so beautiful and tender on the first verse.
One of there're best live performances in my opinion
Doesn’t get any better than this.

their greatest song ever is NAKED EYE...and this version is just unstoppable.
It was the 1976 gig that got in the Guiness Book of Records. I was there - hearing def effected - but great nevertheless.
This is amazing! My first Who concert was '81; born a bit too late. cheers!
That’s rock and roll!
00:44 I love how Pete nods when Roger says ,"Take a little dope". It may of been only booze, but He looked f**ked up!!!
When Pete and Keith get drinking together look Out!!!
They put out some great music.
The Mighty Who
Great version, great tune. Thanks for posting - one of the best tracks from this gig IMHO.
That's the bible for me, interplay between pete and keith is exquisite
Untouchables
The last time Moon was at his best. Filming Tommy and antics with Oliver Reed - it went downhill from there :-(
Excellent guitar tone, great job!
Long time ago that i hear this amazing song
This is a fantastic Moon dissertation.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! Kick ass!!!

Nobody to play that song but Keith Moon
During the My Generation Blues part I always sing "Boy From New York City"🤣
Cool cool kitty- me too

The best live band hands down. Moonie was Jimi on drums. Unreal talent...Peace...
I was there too great gig
If only they could have all got together on lifehouse the who would have been on top
AWESOME AS FUCK!
This is awesome!
So ahead if times these who song are what we a living today and he wrote 50 years ago
Amo questa canzone. Quando Keith attacca decolla un Concorde.
Great concert!
there was so loud !
Oh how I miss those days
Take. A. Little. Dope. Walk. Out in. The. Air
Pete's wasted..Saw them in "76" Boston Garden. Moons last year of greatness,
He goes on a downward spiral end of 1976
Amazing

It was great until Pete started singing....
