Every CSI show had a Who song as its theme. This became such a signature at the time that many of us who were fans would take bets as to which song would be used by the next show. They updated the song a bit for the newest version of CSI, but just a minor tweak.
LOOONG after the fact obviously, but just caught this vid (and your response)... I didn't know this and find it interesting :) Was a huge fan of NCSI back in the day.
Sadly this was Keith Moon's last album on drums. He died shortly after this being released. Years later bassist John Entwistle also passed. It was always said about the Who that like most bands they had a lead singer in Roger Daltry, a lead guitarist in Pete Townshend, but also a lead bassist in Entwistle and a lead drummer with Moon. Everyone of them was a virtuoso on their instrument.
The Who is a very deep rabbit hole. All of the CSI Television shows used a Who song as a theme. A few suggestions: Love Reign O'er Me Pinball Wizzard Slip Kid The Song is Over Join Together Another Tricky Day You Better You Bet Can't Explain
I'm starting to notice that they don't listen to just one entire sound now but appreciating what each person is doing in the band...as well the talent it takes to play those riffs, beats, vocal lines etc
The theme song to the first CSI TV series was the chorus from 'Who Are You'. Amber nailed it. That was great 'who-dunnit' fiction that I never missed an episode back in the day. :)
Keith Moon on drums , a legend in a band full of legends. Others in band are Roger Daltrey on vocals, Pete Townshend on lead guitar (also song writer) and John Entwistle on bass guitar and keyboards. Amber you must hear "Behind Blue Eyes" one of their best, you will love it
Roger Daltrey. Chesty, virile high baritone. Pete Townsend is a great guitarist. That drummer is the immortal Keith Moon. Can't neglect John Entwistle throwing down that bass line.
I just want to point out here, that I also described Kieth as “immortal” before I read your comment. What does it say about the artist that two people used the same hyperbolic-sounding term completely independently to describe the guy?
Townshend in particular knew the importance of delicate vs bombastic, and this song is a perfect example. Agreed, The Real Me is incredible, and while all four of them sound amazing on that song, it is by far the greatest showcase for Entwistle's bass.. Strongly support that song! They also need to do Love Reign O'er Me.

The immortal Keith Moon on the drums. Master John “The Ox” Entwhistle on the bass. May they both rest in absolute power. One of the most legendary rhythm sections to ever pick up instruments.
I've been a drummer for 50 years...with all the monster drummers out there, in jazz...Rock...etc....Keith Moon stands ALONE. His life was as crazy as his drumming. I always called him, "organized chaos". He seems to over play, do one fill after other and STILL keep the groove!😯He's like a painter throwing paint on the canvas at will and getting a beautiful art piece. He once drove a car into a hotel swimming pool! He once broke into Mick Jagger's hotel room while he was sleep as a goof! You have to check out the live studio version of this, where they filmed it for their movie, "The Kids Are All Right." You get to see Keith in action. The CREPPY thing for me is, the chair he is sitting in on the album cover...it says, "Not to be taken away"...he passed not long after that.
He passed only a month after the album was released. Every classic rock star has a Keith Moon story. When you ask them about Keith Moon they all get the same look on their face. Joe Walsh, who was renowned as a wild rocker, tells this story at concerts. "The most terrifying thing that ever happened in my life was when Keith Moon decided he liked me."
Tell it, brother, tell it. He so reminds me of Gene Krupa -- barely controlled wildness. He and Entwhistle together were magical together, too, and rarely recognized. I hear stories about what he could do with his feet ...
You need to react to "Love Reign O'er Me". To me it's not just the greatest song by The Who, it's the greatest song of all time. You hear the soft voice of Roger Daltrey as well the lion-like roar of Daltrey in that song as Roger puts on a vocal clinic for the ages. The drumming by Keith Moon is off the charts. It's a long, epic song with very deep lyrics. Another great one by The Who is "Bargain".
I adore "Love Reign O'er Me." It's not my favorite Who song, but it's up there, and I can't fault the taste of anyone who ranks it a bit higher than I do.
Favorite. Way back when, I’d choreographed a figure skating routine to it. For me, the song just screamed spins and jumps. 😂 Beautiful piece of music. 💜💜💜
What was also great was their segment in the concert in NY for the aftermath of 9/11-Keith Moon was by then long gone to his reward, but although the others were getting along a bit in years, it didn't slow them down or tame them any, it was a great performance and worth the watch, you are gradually being exposed to the sounds I grew up on.
Who are you? I hope you Know the Lord Jesus Christ and he knows you. Because your ETERNITY Depends on what you do with the Lord Jesus Christ, He loves you so much he died to cover all your sins past present and future. sins guilt and shame were put on him by his father God and everybody that's alive can be forgiven. And if you put all your trust in him and in him alone, he will save you from Hell and give you so much peace knowing you will be with him forever this will be the best news you will ever Hear bare none, have a great day God bless you.
This song has kind of a funny story: Pete Townshend had just come out of an exhausting meeting with record executives over The Who's royalties, and even though he got what the band was entitled to, he felt totally demoralized by the experience and went on a drinking binge to get it out of his system. Waking up in a Soho doorway and a police officer letting him go because he recognized him really happened. The funny part of the story is he ran into the Sex Pistols over the course of his binge, and they were legitimately concerned with how drunk and despondent he was. Just the idea of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious patting Townshend on the back going "It's gonna be okay man" just cracks me up.
What makes the story even funnier/sadder is that Townshend THOUGHT it was Johnny Rotten, but it was actually Steve Jones and Paul Cook, the guitarist and drummer. Pete just assumed if there were two Sex Pistols there, one of them must be Johnny Rotten. So he was embarrassed, which made him extra pissed, and he staggered out and passed out shortly thereafter.
@@kevinmac1989 he was demonstrating how easy it was to get to those sites and how ineffective the policing measures at the time were at stopping them. He's an outspoken opponent of the exploitation of children, it's a recurring theme in his music. The man's innocent.
I always tell people, 'Everything you’ve heard about Alice Cooper , you can believe maybe 40 percent of it. Everything you’ve ever heard about Keith Moon is true - and you’ve only heard 10 percent of it - Alice Cooper
“Moon the Loon”, the manic maestro. Only got to see him once, but the sound he put out from a basic drum kit totally outdid his replacements Kenny Jones (Faces) and Simon Kirk (Free, Bad Company) who I both saw live as well. Both are incredible drummers. Moon was simply better.
You really should check out the video of them recording this amazing song in the studio. Keith Moon’s wild drumming was an extension of his wild persona.
The Who has one of the 5 greatest drummers of all time and quite possibly the best bass player of all time. Combine those with Townsend's song writing and Daltry's voice and you get an amazing band.
Certainly one of the best bass players ever...that's for sure...but you also have to consider Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones.....possibly your top 3 right there....and then you have players like Flea and Michael Anthony, who probably don't quite get the recognition they deserve....and that's without going into jazz! Some years ago, John Entwhistle held a bass clinic here in my hometown at a local music store.
Rumored to have been talking to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page before the dawn of Zeppelin, as they were pissed off with Pete and Roger (again) and thinking about leaving The Who and joining the “New Yardbirds”. Supposedly Keith Moon was the one who commented about this possible defection that it would go over like a lead zeppelin. Hence the name.
@@dggydddy59 YEP! Rob and Amber, you need to do Won't Get Fooled again, it is one of the greatest rock songs of all time and one of the best REACTION songs ever. Hearing it for the first time is an experience you will never forget. VERY IMPORTANT: do not, do not, DO NOT PAUSE the song. Am I right?
Keith Moon was the drummer. He and John Bonham (drummer for Led Zeppelin) are two of the top ten greatest rock drummers of all time. They were both brilliant, but crazy. And may they both Rest in Peace.
Pete Townsend is a genius. He writes all the music on every album. They use other songs on CSI as well as this one. I'm not sure you have heard "Won't Get Fooled Again" but it is heavily used on CSI. Great Reaction
Who has such a legacy and 3 distinct styles from different eras. 60s stuff like My Generation, 70s rock like Won’t Get Fooled Again and Who Are You (released 7 years apart) and the 80s style of Imminence Front. So many other great songs! Love Reign On Me is my favorite you need to react to.
The Who were an INCREDIBLY talented band. First, "THAT DRUMMER" you mention is the late Keith Moon, undeniably one of the best drummers (and craziest human beings) who has EVER lived. Second, the man on the bass guitar is the late John Entwistle, regarded by many as one of the greatest bass players of all time. On lead guitar you have crazy talented Pete Townshend, who was the principal songwriter and did violently entertaining windmill moves with his guitar before smashing it all over the stage. (Look up the videos). And finally, you have Roger Daltry, who I still maintain is one of the best rock vocalists of all time. Thanks for your reaction! More WHO, please!!
Overall one of the most talented bands of all time. Moon and Entwistle were pure gods. Daltry and Townsend weren't quite at that level as far as raw talent was concerned, but Daltry makes up for it with his unique and powerful voice, and Townsend makes up for with the ridiculous songwriting abilities.
The Who is my favourite band and it is amazing to 'watch' others 'hear' what I've enjoyed for - 44 years! The drummer is Keith Moon. He's the guy in the chair. ('not to be taken away') He died 3 weeks after the album was released. You guys are great. Peace.
Keith Moon is the Drummer, the top 5 easy of rock and roll drummers. Another sweet soul we lost too soon. Hit up Biography or Behind the Scenes on the Who's story. Well worth the watch. Thanks for all you do!
On the album cover---Keith is on a chair that reads----Not to be taken away---And passes away after releasing this record. That always haunted me. Love you guys. Keep listening.
This was the intro song to CSI, CSI New York had “Baba O’riley” and CSI Miami had “Won’t get fooled again” I believe, so all The Who songs. There is an incredible “music video” with footage from the recording of this song that you should really watch.
Sadly, Keith Moon has left us all behind, but the incomparable talent he graced us with will live on forever. He was a pretty amazing character, and was the man who gave Led Zeppelin their name. RIP Mr. Moon 🌝
The Who were another example of band mates that didn't get along making incredible music together. Soooo many great songs! You should listen to Love Reign O'er Me and Behind Blue Eyes. Brilliant!
When I first heard this song on the radio way back in 79 or 80 the radio stations I listened to played an edited or censored for radio play version. Another song around the very same time was Charlie Daniels Devil Went Down To Georgia & the only version I heard on radio then had lyrics "I done told you once you son of a gun" instead of the exact same song only not edited that I heard 20 years later that says "S.O.B." I abbreviated here.
Yep, I first noticed it on the radio ~35 years ago when I was old enough to listen to music not sung by cartoon characters, two f-bombs! No idea how they get away with this.... but love The Who!
Try listening to “The Real Me” off the Quadrophenia album, the masterful musicianship will blow you away and Roger Daltrey’s voice will give you goosebumps !!
You really need to see their live performance. It's like watching one cool laid back guy (Bassist John Entwistle) and three ADHD adults...yet the sound is amazing!
One of the greatest bands of all time! Keith Moon is my favorite drummer. John Entwistle on bass. Best rhythm section ever. You should definitely watch the video for this one! It’s a lot of fun. Also, check out the live version of A Quick One While He’s Away from Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus. It’s a masterpiece and such an epic performance to watch.
Seeing Keith Moon on the drums live in concert is a must. He was one of the best drummers and is even funny the way he does his drumming. He is a one of a kind drummer that you must see in one of The Who's live performances. I even think they did a song on video in the studio and it was just focused on him.
One of the greatest bands ever to record a song or set foot on stage. If you like the angry man persona Roger cooks up for the vocal, you could have a listen to a track of theirs from the Who's Next album "Behind Blue Eyes". Who's Next is also the album that "Baba O'Reilly" and "Wont Get Fooled Again' come from. Just listen and get lost into the whole album. You will NOT regret it. ♥
The drummer Keith moon was one of rocks larger than life characters everyone from that era has a story about him usually sounding too bizarre to be true but they actually happened the biggest wild child ever
There's a natural high you get blasting this song in a classic car with the top down. Thanks for bringing it on with your video - brings back good times!
Each different CSI series uses a different Who song as a theme song. All highly remixed. Their very best is Love Reign O'er Me. Keith Moon. The Loon. Watch their live performances of A Quick One from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
You should check out the official video for this song showing them performing it in the studio. You will love watching crazy Keith Moon going nuts on the drums!
Congratulations to both of you for recognizing The Genius of Keith Moon's drumming. Keith Moon was considered one of, if not THE greatest rock and roll drummer of all time. Unfortunately we lost him shortly after this album was released. If you look at the cover picture on the album he's the one who is sitting on the chair, and the irony is that that chair says "not to be removed"... I remember buying this album the week it came out, and how devastated I was when I heard the news about Keith. He is sorely missed. And Amber the other place you recognize the song from (other than CSI) is the cartoon movie "Horton Hears a Who". You have three kids I'm sure you've seen it😉
Someone may already have mentioned it, but the part J thinks is acoustic guitar is actually John Entwhistle playing the bass. He was criminally underrated as a player.
Keith Moon gave a master class in rock drumming on this song. Like you felt, his drumming moved this song along and at the same time his dynamics were perfect for any point in the song. In the intro he did more with a highhat than most drummers can do with a complete trap set
Title track of the 1978 album. the last album before drummer Keith Moon's death. The piano part is played by Rod Argent from The Zombies. You should try Pinball Wizard next. Also try Time of the Season by The Zombies.
He died only one month after the album was released. You can see the album cover! He is sitting on a chair that says "Not to be taken away." The irony!
Saw Roger Daltrey live last year at a festival. He's in his late 70's now but good god can he still still sing. His voice was epic and actually quite awe inspiring.
That magical, manically crazed drumming, Keith Moon ( RIP). This is one of the best rock albums ever, period .I grew up on this stuff , and Led Zepplin, etc.
Back in the day when we actually had groups and the lead singers were rock gods. The drummer is not just any drummer but Keith Moon. Jay and Amber, I think you would enjoy the "Tommy" movie with lead singer Roger Daltrey as Tommy and two of your favorites Elton John as the Pinball Wizard and Tina Turner as the Acid Queen. It's based on the Who's album of the same name.
@@Waterloosunset2 I disagree, I think the movie was incredible. I will forever think of Ann Margaret as Roger Daltry's mother. The only bad casting choice was Oliver Reed.
Can't give praise enough to this song. Crown Jewel in The Who's Library. When I first really heard this song as a child. Just sat there motionless and speechless in awe of their talent. Rocked my world and still does..every time. Their music..always the BEST on headphones.
Aw, that was a joy to watch! What a great Who song! You guys reacted and appreciated it so perfectly! By the way, if you want to hear a utterly mind-blowing song on the DRUMS, you should listen to their song called "Bargain"!! Keith Moon, the drummer, just goes OFF on that song! Total, full-on drummer onslaught! Check it out!
Great song off the last album with Keith Moon still on drums. To see the original WHO in complete flight, try the My Generation jam off of Live at Leeds, it is an absolutely legendary performance! Great choice, the WHO is always worth a listen, Enjoy! 🎸
Amber is just DOING IT on this song!!!!! She totally gets it here. The Who were simply one of the cornerstones of the British Invaad sion. And both of you definitely understand how good Keith Moon, their drummer is. I know you've heard of lead guitar, but Moon was the first artist to do LEAD DRUMS. ...now get to YEAR OF THE CAT by AL STEWART. You won't regret it.
They did the soundtrack for the movie Tommy. Elton John played The pinball wizard. Worth listening to the entire track. Based on their album Tommy. Sure plays a mean pinball~~~
You guys "REALLY" get The Who 👍👏👏 I would love to see you react to one of their live concerts. I've seen lots of bands live, but The Who are, in my opinion, THE best live band I've ever seen.
Red Riders “Lunatic Fringe” such a killer song. Actually one of my favorites. You guys will love it. The instrumentals are beyond amazing & the lead singer is awesome!
In my opinion, you have to watch Keith Moon when The Who played “My Generation” at Monterey Pop to get a sense of his ridiculous skills in motion. Boy hit the snare so hard he broke a stick… didn’t even faze him. And there were some fills that were silly-hard. It was masterful. Oh, and then the end of the song… yah… 😉
When he played Substitute at the same show, he did one of his most awesome stick tricks. During the break, he grabbed a handful of sticks and counted off the quarter notes by bouncing sticks off the tom, and they flew off spinning 10 feet in the air. Then he magically had two sticks left and never missed a beat. The audience went nuts. You can find the video here on YT.
The Who live was absolutely phenomenal. So many of the masters are top performers live. Roger swinging the mike, Pete flying all over the place smashing stuff. Keith Moon, one of the best drummers to have ever touched down on planet Earth was a show all his own. Entwistle perhaps one of the best bass players ever. Keith Moon is a fabulous crawl down the rabbit hole of wide f*cking open.
The difference between the louder and softer parts is called "dynamics" in music and very few have used them as effectively in their songwriting as Pete Townsend. In 2001 a benefit concert (The Concert for New York City) was organized by Paul McCarntney for the victims, their families and the first responders following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The Concert was like a who's who of popular artists including The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Elton John, James Taylor and many others. Other celebrities spoke between the acts. It was a very moving Concert. First responders and people who had been in the towers during the attacks and victim's families were given seats in the front rows. In most people's opinions (including mine) The Who stole the show. One of their most powerful performances, and their songs "Who Are You" and "Won't Be Fooled Again" took on a whole new meaning. I think the concert may be on UA-cam, but you should watch it, even if you have to buy the DVD I guarantee you'll be glad you did.
Keith Moon is the drummer. He passed in 1978 at the age of 32. He blew up his drumset on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was the craziest drummer ever and that's what everyone loves about him
it was actually the Smothers Brothers show where he blew up his drum kit! it was a real bomb, Pete's hair caught fire and he had permanent hearing damage. They're lucky someone didn't die. He knew how to make his own bombs and he loved blowing up hotel toilets. No toilet was safe from him.
"Who are You" is my ringtone! Saw The Who with and without Keith Moon. Opening to "Pinball Wizard", Keith is standing on his drums, yes, the drums twirling his sticks and then pointing them at Jon when he hits his opening to the song...AWESOME!
This song used to be my ring-tone, "Who Are You" for years. If you want to be blown away by The Who check out 'The Real Me'. You may not know the name of the Who's bassist, but after listening to this song you will.
As been mentioned, Keith Moon is the drummer's name. On the album cover he's the one sitting on the back-facing chair with the words "not to be taken away" stenciled on to it. One month after the album's release, he was gone.
I remember when i was a kid back when that whole British invasion thing was happening The Who was a big part of it . The first time i heard Keith Moon's drumming on their song " Happy Jack " my mind was blown !!!
Keith Moon's drumming....controlled chaos!🔥 Keith Moon's life....uncontrolled chaos!💥RIP to one of the best drummers ever!💯🐐😢♥️✌
yep
I've seen video of Keith with his headphones duct taped to his head. My favorite drummer of all time.
His style fits this song perfectly.
@@roberthughes2402 same here. Keith was the ultimate drummer in his prime
Them damn Horse tranquilizers!!!
it's CSI Las Vegas. Baba O'Reily and Won't get Fooled again are used on the other CSIs. The songs came out about 25 or 30 years before the TV shows
Every CSI show had a Who song as its theme. This became such a signature at the time that many of us who were fans would take bets as to which song would be used by the next show. They updated the song a bit for the newest version of CSI, but just a minor tweak.

Not criminal minds, CSI
Yes I noticed that now I also watch CSI Vegas😊
Keith Moon was one of the best drummers ever. He's on every list of best drummers.
You would have a hard time picking up any drumming magazine and not finding his name in it.
Keith and John Bonham were drumming gods.
And was the inspiration for Animal, the Muppet drummer for Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem!
@@TheLonMead It all makes so much sense now. I'm gonna go look up videos of Animal drumming now!
@@TheLonMead he certainly was, I love Animal!!
Keith Moon was a BEAST on drums. RIP Keith Moon. Gone way too young.

Keith Moon on fire
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪👍😁
He lived alot of life in a short time.
I've heard it said that Keith Moon died from living.
This was the last record he played on. I think he died just before it was released.
And one of the most entertaining drummers to watch as well
Sadly this was Keith Moon's last album on drums. He died shortly after this being released. Years later bassist John Entwistle also passed.

The Song is Over
Join Together
Another Tricky Day
You Better You Bet
Can't Explain

Love rein o’er me! Amazing!!
Solid list. Join Together and Another Tricky Day are fire I might add Athena and Eminence Front for good measure.
@@Darkhuntersrule I knew CSI used this song, but I didn’t watch the other shows and didn’t know they also used Who songs for their theme. That’s cool.

This was the last album Moon worked on before his untimely death in 78, victim of an accidental alcoholism medicine overdose
Pete Townsend was the backing vocals in this song… occasionally took lead vocals on some songs.
That's John "Rabbit" Bundrick from Texas on keyboards. He would also perform live with them.
@@mellokeith All 4 were singing backups on this one. There's a great video of them recording it.
@@TheFlowNetwork It`s not Bunrick it`s Rod Argent.
By the way, The Who were acknowledged as the loudest band in the world in their day. So this needs to be listened to at WAY up past 11.
Roger Daltrey. Chesty, virile high baritone. Pete Townsend is a great guitarist. That drummer is the immortal Keith Moon. Can't neglect John Entwistle throwing down that bass line.
Thank you my friend. I could not of said it better.
Join Together and Magic Bus need to listen to
One of the most talented quartet.
I just want to point out here, that I also described Kieth as “immortal” before I read your comment. What does it say about the artist that two people used the same hyperbolic-sounding term completely independently to describe the guy?
Ox brought it every night.
The Who always understood the importance of quiet as well as loud. If you want to hear John Entwistle (bass player) shine, try The Real Me.
Townshend in particular knew the importance of delicate vs bombastic, and this song is a perfect example. Agreed, The Real Me is incredible, and while all four of them sound amazing on that song, it is by far the greatest showcase for Entwistle's bass.. Strongly support that song! They also need to do Love Reign O'er Me.

👍🙏👍🙏
I've been a drummer for 50 years...with all the monster drummers out there, in jazz...Rock...etc....Keith Moon stands ALONE. His life was as crazy as his drumming. I always called him, "organized chaos". He seems to over play, do one fill after other and STILL keep the groove!😯He's like a painter throwing paint on the canvas at will and getting a beautiful art piece.

Did Keith even own hi-hat cymbals?
RIP Keith Moon
Keith Moon was one of the great classic rock drummers of the era. Hands down unconventional and unique and unreproducible! RIP
Not just the era, instead EVER!
You need to react to "Love Reign O'er Me". To me it's not just the greatest song by The Who, it's the greatest song of all time. You hear the soft voice of Roger Daltrey as well the lion-like roar of Daltrey in that song as Roger puts on a vocal clinic for the ages. The drumming by Keith Moon is off the charts. It's a long, epic song with very deep lyrics. Another great one by The Who is "Bargain".
I adore "Love Reign O'er Me." It's not my favorite Who song, but it's up there, and I can't fault the taste of anyone who ranks it a bit higher than I do.
Favorite. Way back when, I’d choreographed a figure skating routine to it. For me, the song just screamed spins and jumps. 😂 Beautiful piece of music. 💜💜💜
I agree. "Love Reign O'er Me" would be a great choice -- it's unlike any other Who song.
Pearl Jam covered this awesome masterpiece also, and did an amazing job ❤❤
Love the whole Quadrophenia album and it's beach vibe feeling. "The Punk and the Godfather" is my favorite.
Ya'll need to check out The Who's performance at Woodstock. I swear Keith Moon was levitating on those skins-epic!
What was also great was their segment in the concert in NY for the aftermath of 9/11-Keith Moon was by then long gone to his reward, but although the others were getting along a bit in years, it didn't slow them down or tame them any, it was a great performance and worth the watch, you are gradually being exposed to the sounds I grew up on.
From Woodstock "See Me Feel Me," my favorite, and "I'm Free" from their rock opera Tommy
Daltrys voice is a Rock instrument unto itself!
Don't forget Entwhistle's genius.
Who are you? I hope you Know the Lord Jesus Christ and he knows you. Because your ETERNITY Depends on what you do with the Lord Jesus Christ, He loves you so much he died to cover all your sins past present and future. sins guilt and shame were put on him by his father God and everybody that's alive can be forgiven. And if you put all your trust in him and in him alone, he will save you from Hell and give you so much peace knowing you will be with him forever this will be the best news you will ever Hear bare none, have a great day God bless you.

This song has kind of a funny story: Pete Townshend had just come out of an exhausting meeting with record executives over The Who's royalties, and even though he got what the band was entitled to, he felt totally demoralized by the experience and went on a drinking binge to get it out of his system. Waking up in a Soho doorway and a police officer letting him go because he recognized him really happened.
The funny part of the story is he ran into the Sex Pistols over the course of his binge, and they were legitimately concerned with how drunk and despondent he was.
Just the idea of Johnny Rotten and Sid Vicious patting Townshend on the back going "It's gonna be okay man" just cracks me up.
LOL!
What makes the story even funnier/sadder is that Townshend THOUGHT it was Johnny Rotten, but it was actually Steve Jones and Paul Cook, the guitarist and drummer. Pete just assumed if there were two Sex Pistols there, one of them must be Johnny Rotten. So he was embarrassed, which made him extra pissed, and he staggered out and passed out shortly thereafter.
@@kevinmac1989 he was demonstrating how easy it was to get to those sites and how ineffective the policing measures at the time were at stopping them. He's an outspoken opponent of the exploitation of children, it's a recurring theme in his music. The man's innocent.
Ifthe first thing I saw after waking up was Sid Vicious, I would stop drinking.
@@Oxmustube 🤣
Always had a ton of respect for Keith Moon's drumming.....so free and so good!
Moon the Loon!
Literally endless songs from one of the most gifted 4 musicians ever. Top 5 all time bands, if not the greatest.
I always tell people, 'Everything you’ve heard about Alice Cooper , you can believe maybe 40 percent of it. Everything you’ve ever heard about Keith Moon is true - and you’ve only heard 10 percent of it - Alice Cooper
Alice Cooper is an AMAZING story teller. Ketih Moon stories are always EPIC, and no one tells them like Alice.,
Here him tell some Keith Moon stories here ua-cam.com/video/mRnwzOPPLdQ/v-deo.html
“Moon the Loon”,
the manic maestro.
Only got to see him once, but the sound he put out from a basic drum kit totally outdid his replacements Kenny Jones (Faces) and Simon Kirk (Free, Bad Company) who I both saw live as well.
Both are incredible drummers.
Moon was simply better.
I've read like Keith Moon biographies. Alice was understating things.
RIP Keith Moon….one of the craziest, talented drummers. The epitome of a rock & roll drummer & the band!
You really should check out the video of them recording this amazing song in the studio. Keith Moon’s wild drumming was an extension of his wild persona.
That's what I say! Same with Won''t get Fooled Again. Should have used the movie clips!!
Keith had to tape his headset onto his hat so it wouldn’t fly off while he was drumming! That is a good video.
The Who has one of the 5 greatest drummers of all time and quite possibly the best bass player of all time. Combine those with Townsend's song writing and Daltry's voice and you get an amazing band.
Every band member is top five.
@@loosilu Zeppelin will always be my favorite band but I will always think that The Who is the best.
Certainly one of the best bass players ever...that's for sure...but you also have to consider Geddy Lee, John Paul Jones.....possibly your top 3 right there....and then you have players like Flea and Michael Anthony, who probably don't quite get the recognition they deserve....and that's without going into jazz!
Some years ago, John Entwhistle held a bass clinic here in my hometown at a local music store.
@@kdm71291 no Jack Bruce in there? 😂
@@kdm71291 Don't forget Chris Squire of Yes. A big influence on a young Geddy Lee. Paul McCartney is also a great bass player
Pete Townsend is an awesome guitarist. Has busted up more guitars than anyone ever !!
I had the honor of seeing The Who live (twice), the best was Shea Stadium 1982, with The Clash as their warm-up band, epic!
Very 70s ... Aug of I978 RELEASED ,
I was their.awesome
One of the greatest Rhythm sections the world has ever known Keith Moon on drums and John Entwistle on bass
100%
One of Moon's last great performances.
Rumored to have been talking to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page before the dawn of Zeppelin, as they were pissed off with Pete and Roger (again) and thinking about leaving The Who and joining the “New Yardbirds”. Supposedly Keith Moon was the one who commented about this possible defection that it would go over like a lead zeppelin. Hence the name.
To be fair, although classically bass is a rythm instrument, Thunderfingers played it like a lead instrument. That's a testment to how great he was
Have you done The Who "Love, Reign O'er Me" yet? THAT is absolutely a MUST hear, from their rock opera Quadrophenia.
Apparently they have not done that OR Won't Get Fooled Again. They have absolutely no idea what they are in for.
CSI i think is where you all heard it
@@loosilu Aha! Amber will just freak over either one! Cheers!
@@dggydddy59 YEP! Rob and Amber, you need to do Won't Get Fooled again, it is one of the greatest rock songs of all time and one of the best REACTION songs ever. Hearing it for the first time is an experience you will never forget. VERY IMPORTANT: do not, do not, DO NOT PAUSE the song. Am I right?
This was the lead in music for the CSI series. Keith Moon was their drummer. He died tragically. He was a GOAT. 🙏🏻💜
There she goes!! The Amber Sway! Eyes closed, lost in the music. Appreciation of the artistry being performed.
you can tell she's feeling it!
Keith Moon on the drums, this band shook up things with their music, simply awesome stuff from a period of simply awesome music..🍺😎
Keith Moon was the drummer. He and John Bonham (drummer for Led Zeppelin) are two of the top ten greatest rock drummers of all time. They were both brilliant, but crazy. And may they both Rest in Peace.
And Phil Taylor from motorhead.
And Neil Peart from Rush.
Dino Danelli from the Young Rascals made Moon look slow.
@@Ruda-n4h it is to play fast when you don't change the rhythm pattern
Animal from the Muppets is based on them both
"Reign O'er Me!" Is a must! Pay attention to the intro though! Fabulous drums!!!
"pinball wizard", "you better you bet", and "love reign o'er me" are other great songs by The Who
Would love to see you guys check out Love Reign O'er Me
Pete Townsend is a genius. He writes all the music on every album. They use other songs on CSI as well as this one. I'm not sure you have heard "Won't Get Fooled Again" but it is heavily used on CSI. Great Reaction
Who has such a legacy and 3 distinct styles from different eras. 60s stuff like My Generation, 70s rock like Won’t Get Fooled Again and Who Are You (released 7 years apart) and the 80s style of Imminence Front. So many other great songs! Love Reign On Me is my favorite you need to react to.
“Love Reign O’er Me” is a classic, and the “anchor” song of their 2nd rock opera “Quadrophenia”.
Eminence Front is such a great song.
The Who were an INCREDIBLY talented band. First, "THAT DRUMMER" you mention is the late Keith Moon, undeniably one of the best drummers (and craziest human beings) who has EVER lived. Second, the man on the bass guitar is the late John Entwistle, regarded by many as one of the greatest bass players of all time. On lead guitar you have crazy talented Pete Townshend, who was the principal songwriter and did violently entertaining windmill moves with his guitar before smashing it all over the stage. (Look up the videos). And finally, you have Roger Daltry, who I still maintain is one of the best rock vocalists of all time. Thanks for your reaction! More WHO, please!!
Overall one of the most talented bands of all time. Moon and Entwistle were pure gods. Daltry and Townsend weren't quite at that level as far as raw talent was concerned, but Daltry makes up for it with his unique and powerful voice, and Townsend makes up for with the ridiculous songwriting abilities.
The Who is my favourite band and it is amazing to 'watch' others 'hear' what I've enjoyed for - 44 years! The drummer is Keith Moon. He's the guy in the chair. ('not to be taken away') He died 3 weeks after the album was released. You guys are great. Peace.
Keith Moon is the Drummer, the top 5 easy of rock and roll drummers. Another sweet soul we lost too soon. Hit up Biography or Behind the Scenes on the Who's story. Well worth the watch. Thanks for all you do!
You need to watch the video of them in the studio singing this song. It's a MUST watch video!!!
Also look for the Rockumentary The Kids are All Right.
On the album cover---Keith is on a chair that reads----Not to be taken away---And passes away after releasing this record. That always haunted me. Love you guys. Keep listening.
Absolutely legendary. The Who had one of the best overall stage presences in rock history.
This was the intro song to CSI, CSI New York had “Baba O’riley” and CSI Miami had “Won’t get fooled again” I believe, so all The Who songs.
There is an incredible “music video” with footage from the recording of this song that you should really watch.
At ua-cam.com/video/PNbBDrceCy8/v-deo.html I do believe.
they made some much needed dough with that connection
The Who were a huge influence on Rush.
You can hear it in the transitions, in the complexity, in the experimental sounds and in the drums
ALL members of RUSH were HUGE HUGE fans of the Who and you can hear it!
@@loosilu One hundred percent. A lot of the reasons I love Rush are the same as why I love The Who.
I agree 👍
When the Who 'broke up'. Rush became my #1 active band. Love both.
Two of my favorite bands, happy to have seen both of them!
There’s a live studio version of this floating around on UA-cam. We’ll worth a watch. Keith Moon’s drumming outstanding.
Sadly, Keith Moon has left us all behind, but the incomparable talent he graced us with will live on forever. He was a pretty amazing character, and was the man who gave Led Zeppelin their name.
RIP Mr. Moon 🌝
He graduated from here to Rock and Roll Heaven.
The TV show you're thinking of is CSI. Great song, and great reaction. Next on your Who list needs to be "Love, Reign O'er Me".
....the "stereo headphone effect" from left and then to right and back again..
That's the icing on the cake; it's a feast for the ears throughout!!
The Who were another example of band mates that didn't get along making incredible music together. Soooo many great songs!
You should listen to Love Reign O'er Me and Behind Blue Eyes. Brilliant!
THIS! ^^^^^^^^
5:15 Out of my brain on the train!
listen to I'm the one its a base guitar clinic
This is one the few hit songs in which the artist gets away with an "f-bomb" without being bleeped. ;)
yrp, it was played on the radio! I remember!
When I first heard this song on the radio way back in 79 or 80 the radio stations I listened to played an edited or censored for radio play version. Another song around the very same time was Charlie Daniels Devil Went Down To Georgia & the only version I heard on radio then had lyrics "I done told you once you son of a gun" instead of the exact same song only not edited that I heard 20 years later that says "S.O.B." I abbreviated here.
Yep, I first noticed it on the radio ~35 years ago when I was old enough to listen to music not sung by cartoon characters, two f-bombs! No idea how they get away with this.... but love The Who!
Try listening to “The Real Me” off the Quadrophenia album, the masterful musicianship will blow you away and Roger Daltrey’s voice will give you goosebumps !!
Quadrophenia is one of my favorite albums
Quadrophenia is in the Top 10 best rock albums of all time!! And for me personally, top 5! Just genius and groundbreaking ❤️
Yes. Fantastic album
The bass in that song is absolutely out of this world
And the punk and the godfather
"The Real Me". The isolated bass and drums track alone is enough by itself. More The Who please!
You really need to see their live performance. It's like watching one cool laid back guy (Bassist John Entwistle) and three ADHD adults...yet the sound is amazing!
Barroom floor is the best description of Daltrey's voice I've ever heard.
One of the greatest bands of all time! Keith Moon is my favorite drummer. John Entwistle on bass. Best rhythm section ever. You should definitely watch the video for this one! It’s a lot of fun. Also, check out the live version of A Quick One While He’s Away from Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus. It’s a masterpiece and such an epic performance to watch.
Seeing Keith Moon on the drums live in concert is a must. He was one of the best drummers and is even funny the way he does his drumming. He is a one of a kind drummer that you must see in one of The Who's live performances. I even think they did a song on video in the studio and it was just focused on him.
Moonie was an INCREDIBLE showman, he flowed over the drums like water. You cannot begin to understand the Who until you have seen them live.
I think it was this song in that video!
I was lucky enough to have seen The Who three times live. They were moments in time I will never forget.
One of the greatest bands ever to record a song or set foot on stage. If you like the angry man persona Roger cooks up for the vocal, you could have a listen to a track of theirs from the Who's Next album "Behind Blue Eyes". Who's Next is also the album that "Baba O'Reilly" and "Wont Get Fooled Again' come from. Just listen and get lost into the whole album. You will NOT regret it. ♥
they have not heard WGFA!!!!!!
Great songs, but to think they haven't been heard would require them having come here from Mars.
The drummer Keith moon was one of rocks larger than life characters everyone from that era has a story about him usually sounding too bizarre to be true but they actually happened the biggest wild child ever
We've never even heard his craziest stories. He is the prototype of the wild rock star.
There's a natural high you get blasting this song in a classic car with the top down. Thanks for bringing it on with your video - brings back good times!
Some other songs from The Who to check out: Behind Blue Eyes, Love Reign O’er Me, 5:15, and Squeeze Box, a personal fav.
Each different CSI series uses a different Who song as a theme song. All highly remixed.
Their very best is Love Reign O'er Me.
Keith Moon. The Loon. Watch their live performances of A Quick One from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.
It's freaking brilliant! He looks like the love child of a figure skater and a jackhammer.
All the CSI shows have a Who song as their theme songs!
You should check out the official video for this song showing them performing it in the studio. You will love watching crazy Keith Moon going nuts on the drums!
Yep that is my favourite UA-cam clip that I watch over and over . It adds so much to the performance
@@marywoolley5300 absolutely!
He used to duct tape the headphones to his head to keep them from falling off lol!
agreed ua-cam.com/video/PNbBDrceCy8/v-deo.html
@@RogerGoodgroves never gets old, never!
To me Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend were the perfect singer songwriter. Pete was born to write songs and Roger was born to sing them
Yet they have trouble staying in the same hotel while on the road. They actually hate each other.
It’s Townshend
This song is PURE ENERGY!!! It's fun watching other people enjoy it.
Congratulations to both of you for recognizing The Genius of Keith Moon's drumming. Keith Moon was considered one of, if not THE greatest rock and roll drummer of all time. Unfortunately we lost him shortly after this album was released. If you look at the cover picture on the album he's the one who is sitting on the chair, and the irony is that that chair says "not to be removed"... I remember buying this album the week it came out, and how devastated I was when I heard the news about Keith. He is sorely missed. And Amber the other place you recognize the song from (other than CSI) is the cartoon movie "Horton Hears a Who". You have three kids I'm sure you've seen it😉
Someone may already have mentioned it, but the part J thinks is acoustic guitar is actually John Entwhistle playing the bass. He was criminally underrated as a player.
Underrated? He usually comes in at or near the top of most best bass player lists.
I was going to mention that same thing if nobody else had, so I'm glad you did!
Keith Moon gave a master class in rock drumming on this song. Like you felt, his drumming moved this song along and at the same time his dynamics were perfect for any point in the song. In the intro he did more with a highhat than most drummers can do with a complete trap set
Title track of the 1978 album. the last album before drummer Keith Moon's death.
The piano part is played by Rod Argent from The Zombies.
You should try Pinball Wizard next.
Also try Time of the Season by The Zombies.
He died only one month after the album was released. You can see the album cover! He is sitting on a chair that says "Not to be taken away." The irony!
Also "Hold Your Head Up" by Argent.
You want another Who song with a similar high-energy vibe, try You Better You Bet. It's fabulous. 👍
That’s my favorite song of theirs!
Didn’t have Keith Moon on drums it was Kenney Jones
YES! And add 'Squeezebox' and 'I Can't Explain' to that too.
Saw Roger Daltrey live last year at a festival. He's in his late 70's now but good god can he still still sing. His voice was epic and actually quite awe inspiring.
That magical, manically crazed drumming, Keith Moon ( RIP). This is one of the best rock albums ever, period .I grew up on this stuff , and Led Zepplin, etc.
Back in the day when we actually had groups and the lead singers were rock gods. The drummer is not just any drummer but Keith Moon. Jay and Amber, I think you would enjoy the "Tommy" movie with lead singer Roger Daltrey as Tommy and two of your favorites Elton John as the Pinball Wizard and Tina Turner as the Acid Queen. It's based on the Who's album of the same name.
The whole ‘Tommy’ album is a masterpiece of rock opera.
@@carolinekennedy3689 Agreed. It's a true piece of art. The movie, on the other hand, is cringeworthy.
@@Waterloosunset2 I disagree, I think the movie was incredible. I will forever think of Ann Margaret as Roger Daltry's mother. The only bad casting choice was Oliver Reed.
@@Waterloosunset2 I haven’t seen the movie, so cannot comment, however will trust your judgment!
Can't give praise enough to this song.
Crown Jewel in The Who's Library.
When I first really heard this song as a child.
Just sat there motionless and speechless in awe of their talent.
Rocked my world and still does..every time.
Their music..always the BEST on headphones.
Aw, that was a joy to watch! What a great Who song! You guys reacted and appreciated it so perfectly! By the way, if you want to hear a utterly mind-blowing song on the DRUMS, you should listen to their song called "Bargain"!! Keith Moon, the drummer, just goes OFF on that song! Total, full-on drummer onslaught! Check it out!
This was on the radio when I was in high school. It was a great cruising/party song and there were a lot of them!
Kieth Moon was at the top of his game, rite before he died. Like the filament in a light bulb. Always shines brightest rite before it burns out
Great song off the last album with Keith Moon still on drums. To see the original WHO in complete flight, try the My Generation jam off of Live at Leeds, it is an absolutely legendary performance! Great choice, the WHO is always worth a listen, Enjoy! 🎸
ANYTHING off Live at Leeds!
Amber is just DOING IT on this song!!!!! She totally gets it here. The Who were simply one of the cornerstones of the British Invaad sion. And both of you definitely understand how good Keith Moon, their drummer is. I know you've heard of lead guitar, but Moon was the first artist to do LEAD DRUMS.
...now get to YEAR OF THE CAT by AL STEWART. You won't regret it.
Got to see them live in the 80’s. Considered the loudest live band at the time. It was awesome 👍
Must see videos of the WHO playing. They are great in Woodstock!!!😎
They did the soundtrack for the movie Tommy.
Elton John played The pinball wizard. Worth listening to the entire track. Based on their album Tommy.
Sure plays a mean pinball~~~
Yesssss ❤❤❤❤
and Ms. Tina Turner as Acid Queen!
The movie was based on the album, not the other way around.
@@MarioButter exactly
You guys "REALLY" get The Who 👍👏👏 I would love to see you react to one of their live concerts. I've seen lots of bands live, but The Who are, in my opinion, THE best live band I've ever seen.
Keith Moon is the drummers name, probably one of the very best rock drummers ever.
ther'e NO ONE like Moonie. He didn't have rules. He was free.
@@loosilu One of a kind, indeed.
He and John Bonham vie for the top spot, but don't sleep on Stewart Copeland of the Police.
Interesting, but I saw an interview with Pete Townshend where he said that he was never a fan of Moon's drumming....lol
CSI Intro Song 🔥🔥🔥
Suggestion
The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe
Red Riders “Lunatic Fringe”
such a killer song. Actually one of my favorites. You guys will love it. The instrumentals are beyond amazing & the lead singer is awesome!
Keith Moon (drummer) was legendary when it comes to fills. May he rest in peace.
In my opinion, you have to watch Keith Moon when The Who played “My Generation” at Monterey Pop to get a sense of his ridiculous skills in motion. Boy hit the snare so hard he broke a stick… didn’t even faze him. And there were some fills that were silly-hard. It was masterful. Oh, and then the end of the song… yah… 😉
When he played Substitute at the same show, he did one of his most awesome stick tricks. During the break, he grabbed a handful of sticks and counted off the quarter notes by bouncing sticks off the tom, and they flew off spinning 10 feet in the air. Then he magically had two sticks left and never missed a beat. The audience went nuts. You can find the video here on YT.
The Who live was absolutely phenomenal. So many of the masters are top performers live. Roger swinging the mike, Pete flying all over the place smashing stuff. Keith Moon, one of the best drummers to have ever touched down on planet Earth was a show all his own. Entwistle perhaps one of the best bass players ever. Keith Moon is a fabulous crawl down the rabbit hole of wide f*cking open.
The difference between the louder and softer parts is called "dynamics" in music and very few have used them as effectively in their songwriting as Pete Townsend.
In 2001 a benefit concert (The Concert for New York City) was organized by Paul McCarntney for the victims, their families and the first responders following the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center.
The Concert was like a who's who of popular artists including The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Eric Clapton, Elton John, James Taylor and many others. Other celebrities spoke between the acts. It was a very moving Concert. First responders and people who had been in the towers during the attacks and victim's families were given seats in the front rows.
In most people's opinions (including mine) The Who stole the show. One of their most powerful performances, and their songs "Who Are You" and "Won't Be Fooled Again" took on a whole new meaning. I think the concert may be on UA-cam, but you should watch it, even if you have to buy the DVD I guarantee you'll be glad you did.
Keith Moon is the drummer. He passed in 1978 at the age of 32. He blew up his drumset on the Ed Sullivan Show. He was the craziest drummer ever and that's what everyone loves about him
it was actually the Smothers Brothers show where he blew up his drum kit! it was a real bomb, Pete's hair caught fire and he had permanent hearing damage. They're lucky someone didn't die. He knew how to make his own bombs and he loved blowing up hotel toilets. No toilet was safe from him.
"Who are You" is my ringtone! Saw The Who with and without Keith Moon. Opening to "Pinball Wizard", Keith is standing on his drums, yes, the drums twirling his sticks and then pointing them at Jon when he hits his opening to the song...AWESOME!
This song used to be my ring-tone, "Who Are You" for years. If you want to be blown away by The Who check out 'The Real Me'. You may not know the name of the Who's bassist, but after listening to this song you will.
Bargain, Real Me and their other darker songs are my favorites. Who Are You is about the Sex Pistols specifically, and the punk movement of the 1970s.
As been mentioned, Keith Moon is the drummer's name. On the album cover he's the one sitting on the back-facing chair with the words "not to be taken away" stenciled on to it. One month after the album's release, he was gone.
Man, seeing it through your eyes, or hearing it through your ears, makes it new for me again. Blessings.
Where was every one in 1978 when this came out ?
@@theodoreritola7641 I was in middle school.
I remember when i was a kid back when that whole British invasion thing was happening The Who was a big part of it . The first time i heard Keith Moon's drumming on their song " Happy Jack " my mind was blown !!!
