I took my father to see them for their 50th anniversary tour. They are his favorite band and he hadn't seen them live in 37 years. After the show he looked me dead in the eye and said "They still got it....their music will last another 50 years"
I didn’t think that tour would get to my town. Roger Daltry suffered severe health problems that pushed it back for months but they finally came, just one year after the original planned date. What a great show it was.
Heck yea. Joan Jett opened as well. Seen her multiple times. Great show from start to end.
Had a similar experience with my dad and the Eagles during the Hell freezes over tour. First time I smoked weed with him. His love of music still lives with me and his grandkids.
Saw that tour in Toronto. Daltrey turned 72 that day.....he still had it all going, awesome band !!!
I highly recommend only listening to studio versions unless live is requested. Seldomly does the live version do the song justice
The Pete Townsend windmill is one of the most iconic moves in rock history. I've never seen Roger Daltry hit himself with the microphone. Keith moon wore the headphones to hear the backing keyboard tracks to keep in time. The tape was to keep them from falling off.
John Entwistle - was also there.
@@estoy1001 Casually being one of the greatest bassists of all time ;)
That... And the power slide.
Townsend put a whammy bar through his hand doing the "windmill" while playing a Fender Strat. You guitar players will know what I am talking about.
Townshend with an 'h'. You're not the first. :)
As a live act, these guys were simply a force of nature. Power and chaos combined as sheer brilliance.
For many years the were in the Guiness Book as the worlds loudest band!
You want an on stage crazy story from the Who were somebody got hurt? The video is on UA-cam---> Keith Moon was already in the habit of placing an explosive charge in one his two bass drums to detonate during Pete Townshend’s guitar-smashing at the end of each Who performance. But for their Smothers Brothers appearance, Moon packed several times the normal amount of explosives into his drum kit, and when he set it off, a gigantic explosion rocked the set as a cloud of white smoke engulfed Townshend and singer Roger Daltrey. Though bassist John Entwistle never lost his cool, Daltrey practically flew downstage and when Townshend emerged from the smoke, his hair was almost literally blown to one side of his head. Though the incredible explosion has been rumored to have caused Pete Townshend’s eventual near-deafness, credit for that should probably go instead to the Who’s pioneering use of stacked Marshall amplifiers as a means of achieving maximum volume during their live performances.
Definitely that is a legendary performance. They're miming to a pre-recorded track (with live vocals) so that's a drawback to that performance, but it is a legendary TV appearance for sure.

You forgot that Moon himself got injured when pieces of cymbal flew into his leg like shrapnel!
Pete played Hiwatt amps and cabinets...🤓

Their nicknames and an album title were "Meaty,(Daltrey,vocals, because of his muscular form)Beaty,(Moon,drums, because his insane rhythm style)Big,(Entwistle,bass, because he was a big fella)Bouncy(Townshend,lead, because he bounces around and likes to dance ) Love them guys and the album Meaty, beaty, big and bouncy is a compilation of some truly amazing songs.
I had no idea. Thanks! MBBB is a classic 🤩
Keith Moon used to tape his headphones to his head so he wouldn't shake them off.
Considering how high energetically he'd play the drums, this doesn't really surprise me
it wasn't really taped to his head, he formed a "cage" using a tape band in the front and in the back that held the phones in place better. you can see because there's different scenes where they're not laying the same way.
Daltrey has stated in the past that the microphone swinging started because he was basically bored and needed something to do on stage. It rather happened by accident and evolved from there. There have been a few mishaps along the way, including the mic hitting the floor with a discernible "Thud"...but that's Rock & Roll for ya!
I am so glad that your younger generation is really getting into my era of music. Makes me feel younger again. ( I am 71 years young ). The stories of late 60 's and 70 's I could tell you all 🤯😵💫
Keith had to wear headphones for two songs, this one and Won't Get Fooled Again, because both those songs are played along to a tape recording of the synthesizer part. Keith couldn't go off time to that or it would ruin the song so he had to listen quite closely to it. The duct tape kept them on with his manic style and head flailing around. At the end of Won't Get Fooled Again he'd tear them off because he hated wearing them.
Pete has an amazing voice, and he wrote 95% of the bands songs, and after getting them to a certain level, he would present them to the group and let each member play it how they saw fit. So if you ever get to listen to any demos from Pete, most of the songs are totally different than what you get on the final versions. It's really wild to hear how they were written Vs. what each member brought to the table in the end, most songs take on an entirely different meaning when presented this way. But that was a part of the genius of The Who, and why they are one of rocks best bands of all time.
One of the best Live Rock Bands ever. Entwistle on Bass thunder fingers, I believe(?) w/ Mad Man Moon on Drums, Crazy Pete on Guitar & of course, Daltrey on vocals....so great even today.
If you like that one then you are going to love their performance of A Quick One While He's Away filmed for the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
Bass and drums only in the beginning is amazing.
This was also used as the theme for the TV show CSI New York. and the front man Roger Daltry had a recurring on the TV show Highlander as Hugh Fitzcairn.
Rock and Roll Circus version of A Quick One While He's Away is another great performance from The Who
Yes. One of my favorites
This band has crazy energy from Roger Daltrey's mic swinging to Pete Townsend's windmill guitar playing classic song by The Who Won't Get Fooled Again is my all time favorite song it's the perfect rock song and Roger has a insane scream in that one
Experts in high energy rock, four shows in one. And,as always a pleasure to see you're great reaction
Lovely to see your reaction and smile. "Baba O'Riley" was to be part of a Rock Opera that was never finished. It was used as the theme song for the TV show CSI New York. One of my top favorites was another song from that unfinished Rock Opera ... " Behind Blue Eyes" ... "Tommy"... is the name of the Rock Opera that they finished and was turned into a movie with some of the biggest stars of the day. Songs that hit the top of the charts were .... "Pinball Wizard"... "See Me Feel Me". ... [ "Go To The Mirror"...includes See Me Feel Me. ] Elton John did Pinball Wizard for the movie.
"Baba O'Riley's intro is so hype i love it
Beloved by drummers everywhere, our dear Moonie!
I saw The Who in 1973 in Montreal. Amazing
Bright Angel Aileen, seeing you smile and enjoy the music is like a warm Spring Morning. Thanks for bringing some light into these dark days. Your
hard work brings joy to more people than you could ever know.
She's so sweet
I’m so glad you’re discovering these songs.
At one point, The Who had the the Guiness Book of World Records record for the loudest concert ever. They were known to be LOUD and yes, full of energy.
that was deep purple not the who !
No for many years it was The Who. Live at Leeds.
Wrong!! Its was The Who in the Guinness Book of records I believe in 1975 or 76. Deep purple who I like will never, ever be or beat The Who on albums, in concert, in hype and or anything!! Deep purple was,, and I quote Jimmy Page,,, only popular in Japan.. Don't Fuck with The Who!!!@brithaddenhadden8383
In my teens and early twenties the lead singer, Roger Daltry was my crush! Loved,loved him!
Yes Keith Moon has his headphones taped on so he won't lose them when he is going nuts on the drums.
Pete Townsend does do several songs as lead vocalist, in fact he went on and had a successful solo career.
Rodger Daltry has always swung his mic but never heard of any mishaps. I used to photograph this band live and he never lost control of that mic. If you notice it is taped up really good with the mic chord doubled up or wrapped on the mic body undr the tape so it won't damage the mic itself or anyone else if it flies off.
John Entwhisle is essentially a "lead" bass guitarist. He not only sets the rhythm and bottom tones but also uses melody to drive the songs with his brilliant skills.
Townshend didn't invent the windmill motion on the guitar (he saw Keith Richards messing around with it) but that's like saying Eddie van Halen didn't invent finger-tapping. Still became the most iconic user of the technique.
Daltry has never smoked himself with the mic as far as I know but Townshend did screw up his hand on the whammy bar once with the aforementioned windmill (still completed the show)
You've reacted to Rush so it's worth pointing out that while many drummers today having Neil Peart as their favourite drummer, Keith Moon was the favourite of Peart
So much energy 😊
No microphone incidents that I'm aware of - other than the Abbie Hoffman incident at Woodstock in 1969, but Pete (the guitarist) did impale his hand on his whammie bar (he was playing a strat, if I recall correctly) while doing a reverse windmill during the 1993 tour (I think it was '93, but I can't remember). The bar when right through the palm of his hand, and luckily enough caused no long-term nerve damage. They finished the tour, to my knowledge, as well.
I remember the who did a tv concert of Tommy and Pete had a hand injury. Could only play the acoustic guitar.
Their record Tommy was one of the first 5 albums I bought, about 40 years ago. I didn't know what it was about. I just love the music. Pinball Wizard was a song I've loved since I was in the back seat of my mom's brown Chevelle, and it was on the radio.
Check out their live performance of "A Quick One While He's Away" on the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus. It's a mini opera of four songs together to tell a story. Super fun!
We all had that kind of energy in the sixties-seventies. Dance with others, dance alone - get out there and go crazy to the music!
Saw The Who in 1976 with Keith Moon. Unbelievable. Roger Daltry had the mic swinging way out over the crowd. And interview recently he stated he never hit himself or anyone else and never dropped it. You HAVE to listen to "Love Reign O'er Me". From their Quadrophenia album.
I heartily recommend "Love Reign O'er Me" as your next song by "The Who." Roger's Daltrey's vocals on that song are as good as it gets in rock music. You can find some good live performances, but it's best to do the studio version.
Everyone commenting on Pete, Roger, Keith... not one mentioned the insane bass playing skills of John! In that sea of energy, he's standing still as a rock,. only his fingers twiddling the bass guitar with the utmost skill!!!
Love, reign o'er me. Amazing song by The Who. Also, Behind Blue Eyes.
I was at the 1989 Silverdome concert. And Roger missed the mic and it landed on the stage, my heart dropped for a split second, but it was no big deal, he yanked the cord and started spinning it once again. Old pro.
My music teacher in highschool chose songs from 'Tommy' for us to listen to. Calling it Art. It was 1982 and I was 12. I thought wth.But he was right! Thanks for sharing this one!
One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite movies (Almost Famous) is, "Some people have a hard time explaining rock 'n' roll. I don't think anyone can really explain rock 'n' roll. Except maybe Pete Townshend, but that's okay."
Bassist John Entwistle is considered the best bassist in contemporary music, and was the calm eye of that storm. Keith Moon drums, the head phones are so he can hear the sound mix better, as for the duct tape he probably broke them so they’ll stay on ,he was a crazy person who played lead drums basically , Pete Townshed is a very talented guitarist & composer, and Roger Daltrey’s singing speaks for itself
the tape on Keith Moon's headset was to create a cage in the front and back to help keep it in place.
Hi gorgeous! Always great to see your reactions. Lead singer- Roger Daltry, Guitar- Pete Townshend, Bass- John Entwhistle and Drums- Keith Moon. Stay beautiful and I'll catch you on the next one. Can't go wrong with The Who. 🔥🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️❤️😛😛😛😛🦊🦊🦊🦊🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
The Who!!! I was lucky enough to see them live. They put on an awesome show. They definitely get the crowd into all that they do.
I'm delighted that you have discovered the majesty of The Who, Aileen. ❤
There are an endless string of great from these guys. You might enjoy an earlier performance of theirs, "I Can See For Miles," which they performed on several television shows.
They are the BEST LIVE BAND EVER WITHOUT A DOUBT LONG LIVE THE WHO.
I love The Who, their energy is contagious. Love that you are reacting to a group that actually plays instruments and creates amazing sound and energy. Have seen The Who twice and enjoyed it immensely. I love in this concert when Pete Townsend breaks out into the Wiz character from Seinfeld just strutting his energy! Lol doesn’t get any better!!!😆🤪👍
The entire beginning of this tune is The Ox-John Entwistle and his thunderous bass tone...totally outrageous... RIP
And Guitarist Pete Townshend got the Whirling from Jimi Hendrix, Singer is Roger Daltrey, Bass was John Entwistle & Drums was Kieth Moon
Pete stole the whirling arm from a Keith Richards warmup exercise he watched him do once.
You can never go wrong with any song from The Who! I highly recommend there songs Tattoo, Trick of the Light, and Love Rain o'r me.
fun note about this song, since you've listened to a bunch of Pearl Jam - i don't know if they still do it, but there was a time where, at their live shows, Pearl Jam would do a cover of this song. the one time i went to go see them, they broke out this song, and turned on ALL of the flood lights (outdoor venue) so the whole crowd was lit up, and we all sang along together. it was magical.
Happy Tuesday hope your having the bestest time in Texas And this song is a amazing and every time I here it reminds me of a Adam Sandler movie
The story about The Who,,,,,is the smashing of their equipment at the end of the show. They started it,,,,,💥💥💥👍😎
Thanks for the reaction, great job. I seen them live at the Anaheim stadium California in 1976. It was a all day festival and the Who came on last at twilight. Loudest show I ever been to! The bass was felt in my bones as the seats vibrated, best band I've ever experienced.
Behind blue-eyed by the WHO
Aileen - your generation soooooo missed out out such bands like The Who - sooo much more music godddd- TY Aileen you're awesome - Fr Canada
Damn!! The Ox is a force of nature!!
Pete doesn’t even play a note until 2:31 in this video!!
Love Keith Moon’s manic playing on this song as John Entwhistle just lays down that bass groove
If there’s one band that makes me wish I was born 15 years earlier, The Who is it. But even amongst my generation, that of X, these songs spoke to us, notably this one. How that band managed to coalesce all those personalities, talent and egos into a band that didn’t end up killing each other is still frickin’ amazing. Wood, Entwistle, Daltrey and Townsend, I mean, come on, that’s just insane.
This will always be one of my favorite songs to play live, my inner 16 year old rock-star-wannabe can’t be held in. Is there a reason for the Townsend windmill? Hell no, but it’s just damn cool and lets the guitar know you’re here and mean business.
I love how Roger, Pete and Keith are maniacs and John just stands stoically in the eye of that storm holding down the bottom end.
This video is a remaster from an original tape from London in the 1978. Crazy to see and hear them in this quality from so long ago.
I can't believe how fast you talk at the end, so many words, it's like machine gun fire
my heart brightens whenever I see a new reaction from you. I love how engrossed you get in the music and the joy that shines from you in experiencing it.
The Who, " Who are you?" a must watch!!!!
Funny you should ask if Roger Daltrey has ever accidentally hit himself while swinging the microphone. As far as I know, that has not happened, or if it did, it didn't result in a serious enough injury for him to even mention it. But...a very bad injury did happen to Pete Townshend (the guitarist). In August of 1989, when he was doing his famous windmill, he actually impaled his hand on the tremolo or whammy bar. The Who was playing "Won't Get Fooled Again" at the Tacoma Dome, in Tacoma, Washington when the tremolo bar pierced the webbing between the fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand. That was the last song before the encores, which Townshend missed, as he was rushed off to a hospital. I saw them a week or so later at the Los Angeles Coliseum and his hand was heavily bandaged, but he did perform.
My favorite Who song. Pearl Jam also performs this and they do an amazing job. In fact Pearl Jam ends shows with two songs. Yellow Leadbetter and Baba O'Riley
PJ also does a great cover of Love, Reign O'er Me.
Roger Daltrey was asked if he had ever hit someone when he swung his microphone. He said he did and it was intentional when someone was acting like a jackass in the front row so Roger clocked him with the microphone. There is also the time during the Tribute to Freddie Mercury Concert when Roger Daltrey was performing the song "I Want It All" with Queen, Roger semi-interfered with a Brian May guitar solo when he was swinging his mic. BTW, you should react to that performance by Queen with Roger Daltrey....and Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath. It is stunningly awesome!
I saw Van Halen in 1975 (even before they began playing the clubs in Hollywood and two years before they had a recording contract) and DLR would swing his mic around by the cord like Roger Daltrey and all I could think was 'come on, man, Daltrey has a patent on that. Get your own move, dude." lolol
There is a reason The Who are considered 'Rock Royalty' along with Led Zep, The Stones, and The Beatles. These guys were instrumental (no pun intended) in creating rock music we know today.
🤘🔥🤘 Most kick ass tambourine in musical history. They are all exploding with energy except the bass player is super chill.
Always make me happy just love them. Great reaction. 🇮🇹🇧🇪🇪🇺
Just just saw your reaction, subscribed! This is what Hard Rock band sounds like❤ I'm the Bass who just stands around and holds shit down😊
Please listen and react to the Who when they perform live at the Isle of Wight in front an audience of 600.000 in 1970. Their rendition of Mose Allison's "Young Man Blues" in the middle of the night is pure Rock'n' Roll history!
Quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-cam channels! Great music, unique and insightful reactions, and the most amazingly beautiful view. Thanks!
Hi Aileen. Another great video and wonderful to share this classic music with you. I’m a huge Pink Floyd fan but I also enjoy many other bands of the 60’s/70’s. One Who track/video I always enjoy watching is the official promo video of ‘Who are you? It has 16m views - so quite popular!
In an interview, Keith Moon (drummer) said that he would turn his symbols up-side down and when people threw food at the stage, Roger's spinning microphone was slice it up and Keith could have a nice salad.
The guitarist is the legendary Pete Townsend, the vocalist is Roger Daltry, the bass player is the late John Entwistle, and the drummer is the supernatural (late) Keith "the Loon" Moon.
I'm going to beg of you to listen to the studio version of the first track of their epic rock opera, "Tommy". The "Overture" is an instrumental preview of all the musical themes they play throughout this opera, and EPIC, BRILLIANT, and MIND BLOWING barely describe that experience. No lyrics to interpret, just next level musicianship!
This was great fun, thank you as always. 😂👏🌹😇
Entwhistle is also dead
Love your reaction to the greatest rock band of them all. If you haven't already, check out "Who Are You", "See Me, Feel Me" (from Woodstock), "Young Man Blues", "A Quick One While He's Away", "Magic Bus" (from LIVE AT LEEDS) , "My Generation", "5:15", "Love Reign O'er Me"... and a whole lot more.
I remember listening to The Who with my uncle when I was about 12 or 13. He jumped down his basement steps while doing the Pete Townsend windmill move and broke his ankle. We laughed about that for years. RIP Uncle Mike.
Great reaction Aileen, The Who are such a great band and as you can see are excellent live! Take care
i love the contrast of the high energy Pete and Roger, and the stoic Entwistle.
John Entwhistle is one of my favorite bass players. Nicknamed Thunderfingers for a reason.
This and behind blue eyes, are some of my favorite WHO...Pete was a nexus of inspired musical talent... unmatched.
To see them in their heyday, you need to go a few years earlier when Keith Moon the drummer was in good form. This was his last concert, dying a couple of months later.
Try looking at "A quick one" from the rolling stones rock and roll circus, or anything from Tangelewood or the London Colosseum.
John Entwistle aka Thunder Fingers. There's been no bassist like him, before or since. Check out his playing solo. Pete Townsend described him as their lead guitarist, Moon on drums was the melody, so Townsend as the lead guitarist had to punctuate the music with his guitar and provide the rhythm. Basically everyone in the band was playing someone eles role😁 There's also an interview, might be the same one, where Townsend described himself and Entwistle having guitar duels on stage. Townsend said Entwistle could replicate on bass everything that Townsend dud on guitar. But acknowledged that the reverse didn't always apply.....
I also sometimes forget how great Roger Daltrey's voice is, until I hear a live track. To think that he started out as their lead guitarist for a very brief period.......😳
Great band and great reaction! Greetings from Jonas, Gothenburg Sweden. ❤😊
MAGIC BUS (live)...A early, not so well known one...but if you like bass, drums & energy... ^chef's kiss ^
Roger still spins that microphone today at 79 years young !!
Pete Townshend is the guitarist and was the band's main songwriter,almost,but not quite exclusively. Keith Moon is the madman on the drums,sadly this show at Shepperton Studios was his last with the band before he tragically passed at the age of 32. Roger Daltrey is the singer and mic cord cowboy,never heard tell of him crowning himself with the mic,but wouldn't be shocked.
The brilliant man on the bass (and in my humble opinion the best musician in the band) was John "The Ox" Entwistle. Considered by many the greatest bassist in rock history. (I tend to go with Yes' Chris Squire,but then was Yes REALLY a rock band? Prog rock is kind of it's own thing.) Entwistle left us in 2002.
LOVE your reactions,you really have an ability to hone in quickly on what makes the great bands great. And every time you arch your right eyebrow whilst smiling that devilish smile is just a bit of YT heaven,haha.
Check out their performance of YOUNG MAN BLUES from the ISLE OF WIGHT Festival in 1970 and also listen to AMAZING JOURNEY/SPARKS from the LIVE AT LEEDS album( no video) when they were at their peak.
This was shot on a Thursday afternoon at Shepperton Studios infront of members of The Who roadies, friends and family.
Pete Townshend (with an 'h') is the guitarist. He also performed solo, and had a few hits.
The Who - Love, Reign O'er Me, from the album Quadrophenia! The entire Quadrophenia album is great to listen to start to finish, but then you'll have heard all the songs and cant Fresh react to. lol.
The guitarist is also the writer of their songs
You are a treat when you react to music I grew upto in the 70s
Roger Daltrey has told stories about how he honed the microphone swinging to use as a weapon against rowdies on the front few rows. He reckoned he had no problem in bouncing it off peoples heads or noses.
Love this girl's LOVE FOR CLASSIC ROCK AND ROLL BABY 👍👍👍👍👌👌✌️✌️✌️✌️
Love your energy and enthusiasm!!!!
You should see the cover of this, done by Blue Man Group, with Tracy Bonham on vocals and violin!
The creation of Animal from the Muppets was patterned after/inspired by Keith Moon.
"A Quick One While He's Away" from "The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus" for a next Who reaction.
Also, "The Real Me" from the Royal Albert Hall show.
