No one can Substitute The Who
The rams did
I'm going to do it in some months.
goood
No one can be substitute for The Who!!
No one rights like that.
Peter Noone cannot be a substitute player in The Who.
“I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth.”
Most awesome lyric ever written.
"With your silicone hump & your 10 inch stump"... has entered the chat
Pete is a freaking genius
“I’ll substitute you for my mom, at least I’ll get my washing done” is also quite extraordinary
@@thetideishighandsoami3928 *mum
Awesome
Roger Daltrey's presence is electrifying. Effortlessly cool.
And here, folks, is the calmest Keith Moon has ever been behind a drum kit.
So true. Usually attacked the tops of them.
Lexavax That's because he's not playing them only hitting cymbals . They are miming

I was listening to in 1966 when i was a 16 year old mod still listening now 74 year old northern souler😅
I was born in 1966! I've been listening to the Who since retro-mod classmates got me hooked in the early 80's. "Substitute me for her/ Substitute that faux for fur/ Substitute you for my dad/ At least my car won't run too bad..."
as a young 54 year old mod, trust me I am passing it on.
we have a mummies in here💀
@@xel9339sorry don't understand
@@jameshoward9578 forget that old man👌
It's taken me 61 years to realise why people like The Who so much.
That’s okay. We knew you’d come along eventually. Have a great day.
Glad you've figured it out!
it took me less than a year but yeah this band is fucking fantastic :)
one of the best songs ever
How are old are you mate?
Fun fact Keith moon was so stoned while recording this song that when they released the single he thought they hired a new drummer.
Oh wow 😂
@@WhileMyGuineaPigGentlyWheeks ikr
@@Townshend90125 Lol yes, It’s now my favorite fun Fact 😂
Damn, thanks for the interesting fact, John Lennon!
@@dash_R no problom
I never saw anyone hold drumsticks like Keith does.
if you notice he turns his sticks around
It looks like he's just mucking about but that's actually how he played.
Since he isn't really playing, is he just screwing around because it's a sham?
I'm not surprised...that is terrible. He does all the work with his elbows instead of his wrists.
He was pretending. It was his version of humor. Much admired by those who don't mind cringing simultaneously.
R.I.P. Keith Moon and John Alec Entwistle.
both younger than me, omg^^
Here, here R.I.P. Gentleman!
Keith John Moon
Never get tired of watching and hearing Keith Moon play the drums. Wow.
He's not even playing the drums here. It's the studio version, Townshend and Ox are playing their actual parts(Ox looks to be faking some of it pretty blatantly) ans Keith isn't even playing in time he's jjst messing around knowing it doesn't matter. Amd that's just who Keith was.
@@stylish_rubble314 You are absolutely correct. The track has acoustic guitar in it and Keith is playing an electric in this video. Of course, Keih overdubbed an electric part in the recording so there is both...
@@ultramusicman Keith? Since when does HE play the guitar?
I'm sure you meant Pete.@@ultramusicman
@@Amarti58: Pete Townsend is the guitarist. Keith Moon was the drummer. I truly meant Keith. Did you mean this for me or for @lounagy3392 ?
"Substitute you for my mom, at least I get my washing done" - priceless line
In the 60s, I was always puzzled by this line. I thought it was strange if his girlfriend did the washing better than his mum, as this line implies. Only recently did it occur to me, perhaps the writer of the song was one of the people who confuse "substitute" with "replace". "Replace you with my mum" would make much more sense - although, of course, it would not scan!
nah, he's saying that he could ditch the girl and go live with his mum. at least she'll do his washing.
@@johnwaters3360 Huh?
@@johnwaters3360 the line was:'You'd Bore my mom..,at least i'll get my washing done'.
My mamma would have told me to get my ass in there and get busy lol! She aint washin no clothes for grown folks!😂😂
*One of the greatest bands of all time*
And one of their very best songs
@@vincentberner5606My favourite Who song. Daltry's voice really suited this timeless track.
@@helencampbell2064greed. A simple, yet brilliant song. BTW, it's Daltrey.
I agree, they're definitely my favorite band of all time.
This is the definition of an iconic song.

RIP the two members of The Who
John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 - June 27, 2002), aged 57
Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32
You both will be remembered as legends.
Ta butt !
Greatest rhythm section of all time
It took the heart out of the band when those two died
and theris no substitutes for them they¨re unique
Okay Jack, let's just post the same comment on every Who song, shall we?
of all of the great bands of the 1960s, the Who are my favourite band.... because, .. instead of songs about peace and love .. they sang about dysfunction
The first Grunge band /s
As I walk this wicked world searching for light in the darkness of insanity... I ask myself is all hope gone? Is there only pain, hatred, and misery?
Good to have Peace and also reality of chaos
John's smile, Roger's blinking eyes, Keith's bobbing head and Pete's dance are among the best in this video!!..
The Who were thoughtful, intelligent, edgy, straight ahead rockers, sometimes 'mods,' and each member was a master of his instrument. For Pete and Roger, their voices were also their instruments. Pete's songwriting often showed a superior intellect. This band was not afraid to push the boundaries of propriety. Just look at the cover of their album, Who's Next. I became a Who fan somewhat later in life, introduced to them by a dear high school friend. Getting to know the progression of the Who's music has been a great journey.
Don't miss 1970 Live At Leeds..my fave!!!
There's not one band in 2021 making music as vital as this. The mid to late 1960s and 1970s will never be repeated. Unparalleled.
Yes there is. You need to listen to more bands.
@@paulcollins5586 I receive new music every day. You need to develop better critical listening skills and a higher bar. There are no bands today that are on par with the major players of the 1960s or 1970s. ZERO. There are no Led Zeppelin's, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Pink Floyds, Black Sabbaths, etc. I stand by my statement. Name a new band that matches any of the above. I love some new bands, but no one will be listening to many of them 50 years from now. I can guarantee you that some kid that's not even been born yet, will discover Pink Floyd, the Stones, The Who, The Kinks, etc. 50 years from now.
@@dougtull4594 The Church.The most criminally ignored band putting out great albums for 40 years.
@@paulcollins5586 I love the Church and have had the pleasure of interviewing and meeting them. As much as I like them or the Smiths, Echo & The Bunnymen, etc. I stand by my statement regarding the impact of 1960s and 1970's rock.
@@dougtull4594 Fair enough.
'I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth '
damn right ...🤘
Haha they were so cute here! Keith looks so innocent.
He wasn't
Jim Morrison Disco Towney.
@@palamambron what
There's NO substitute!
36 years. May you rest in peace, Keith.
LynnRamos you have got to admit tho Zak starkey is a brilliant Drummer aswell
No wonder as Zak was taught by Keith, and he is the son of Ringo.. both great drummers!
Jan Binnendijk Perfect mixture
The Who was so much more than a mere rock band...they were a four piece avant garde symphony orchestra whose art was best appreciated live at 150+ decibels!
Listening in 2023 n it sounds fresh as a daisy-wasn’t even born when this came out but sure appreciate pure quality!
Pete was so talented he could make a Tele sound acoustic.
Neither the bass nor guitar are wired to amps, so I guess they're both acoustic
Cus They were miming!
Pete's Fender custom shop Strat has a piezo pickup so it can sound acoustic.
On the record Pete was playing acoustic , in the film they are miming .
Did nobody spot the irony in the original comment?
clothes in the sixties were fuckin amazing!!!..mods had so much style
the the super ultra stylish "mod" clothes where nothing more than the regular clothes men wore in italy.
just as the english have a fascination with french food (thier food sucks flying dog fuck)
they uave a fascination with italian clothes
you like that look?
you want that style?
easy
find an italian taylor and bring some money
rockhard That's not true at all? Yes, the mod looks were inspired by the sleekness of Italian clothing, as with the scooters and looking "smart", but the over eccentricity of the mid 60's mod fashion, like Townshend's backside of the jacket or all of Entwistle's medals can't possibly be classified as "regular".
Hell no! Some looked cool, while others scare me!
Yeah back in 65/66... come late 67 and the long fringed jackets and poodle head (Daltry) came to the fore
Everything that came after the early and mid 60s mods has been a serious downgrade, imo.
I'm not particularly a Who fan but there's no denying this song is class.
Well, you should!
NOT A FAN?!
If you’re not a fan just sthu instead of commenting
@@naeemakhtar928 but at least they made a positive comment about the song. Nothing wrong with that.
@@merciansupremacy5113 Cheers mate....I like to keep an open mind. 😉
The Who were punk before punk was a thing
*THEY WERE HEAVY METAL BEFORE HEAVY METAL WAS UNLEASHED ON AN UNSUSPECTING FRIDAY 13TH OF FEBRUARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
The vibe of the Who was such that it transcended generation, ideologies and boundaries. The greatest compliment that could ever have been paid to Roger, Pete, John and dear boy, Keith was that the punk movement gravitated to them.
Yep, u nailed it"
When we hadn't a care in the world and England was rockin.
The Who my all time favourite band.
NO BAND WAS PUTTING OUT POWERFUL SONG'S LIKE THIS IN THE EARLY 60S. THE WHO THE GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER
Yes, we hea...I SAID, YES WE HEARD YOU!
@@jayaybe1boomers are absolutely allergic to turning off the caps lock on the keyboard. I get these people have vision problems, but they need to understand they can make the text bigger in the settings instead of making it sound like they are yelling at everyone.

good one!
That may be the funniest thing we've ever read on UA-cam, Andrew. Please subscribe to Audio Insanity. We need weirdos like you over here.
🤣
John Entwistle was The who, Its his band, He founded the who, And was probably the greatest bass player that ever lived, he was brilliant, He never got the credit he deserved.
Frank Jackson bass players always get the shaft. Especially when they're the strong silent type like John, real shame
John was a master. But It was Roger who started the band under a different name as lead guitarist, then later vocalist. John was recruited by him. John brought Pete to Rodgers attention. He was added. It has always been Daltrey's band. But John was so very important to their sound.
tony Mckay
The Who were formed by John Entwistle And Roger Daltrey! They formed the band at school, Roger bumped into John after school and John had a homemade Bass, then they started the band and got Pete in, This was years before Keith moon was even on the scene.
I agree to extent,because old Pete did like most of the writing and composition of the songs .
He had a lot of medals too.
The Who, The Kinks and The Animals were the bad boys of their era, underrated groups by far.
Underrated!? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
On the contrary. They were rated very highly.
Don't forget the Small Faces
Hmmm may be no one knows them now(3 generational difference) doesn't mean they weren't popular in their primes ( they were all popular)
No. None of those bands are underrated. You people are starting to forget what word means.
Unbelievable that word would be so popular these days who before its time .
Moony isn't even trying to mime playing the drums in this, just takin the piss. Brilliant.
This has everything, angst, humour, passion - I defy anyone not to be energised by this.
And just a smidgen of sarcasm in the mix, hahaha
Bought this record the day it was released. Must have played it 500 times over the following weeks. I lived for The Who in the 60's and I still do today. First saw them live in 1965 and last saw them live in 2015.
This means your closer to death then I am😱👻💀☠️👽
@Making Gainz dumbest comment ever!!!!!
I ordered it from His Master's Voice in London ship to Vancouver B.C.
I played it over and over....
Best live band ever the oo
Lee Wood I’m seeing them live for the first time in October near front row! Lucky u!
the sound of this band is simply magic
I am a german WHO-Fan since beginning. In 1965 I wrote from Germany to the Magazin NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS in Durham/GB and asked for a free copy. I got it and found an Advertisment about a Single-Record "I can't explain" by a band named THE WHO. What a funny name I thought. In a Record-Shop in my hometown I asked for this one, but without success. Some weeks later I heard at night by RADIO LUXEMBURG the Record. and THE WHO had won a Fan for ever. Radio Lux. was the only Record Staton with good Rock-Music at this time we could hear here in Germany. AFN too.
This is one of the coolest and creative songs I've ever heard in my life
That songs sounds just as fresh today
What I love about the Who, is you can dance the shit outta their songs, best ever drum/base duo ever💜
Amazing. This was hardly ever off the record player in 1966.
Does the camera man know that Entwistle is in the band?
does the camera man know that Entwistle IS the band!?
probably one of the coolest bass solos ever, and they show Petes back when it's happening........
Poor John. Always overlooked by everyone filming.
John was nuts but compared to the rest of 'em he was mundane
1:53 he smiles as the camera is finally on him
One guitar, one bass, one drumset and three voices. It can`t be all! Where does the magic come from? I love this!
This song never ages. I remember the first time I heard it. Amazing. 2022 still relevant.
This song was released 4 years before I was born. I am now 52 years old and still love the Who. I grew up listening to them, and their songs never get old or out dated. I was never really a Beatles fan, but the Who, that is a whole other story. I saw a commercial when I was about 6 or 7 on TV advertising a the Who album and there was footage of Pete and Keith smashing their instruments up, and they had me hooked!
I haven't seen a drummer holding those drumsticks the way moon does. Arguably the best ever.
They are all gorgeous OMG,didnt realize how wonderful they were then arghh
Greatest rock band ever.
How Keith is holding his sticks is hilarious! Doesn't drum-sync too well lol. All for the camera.
John Entwistle is stoic boss. Damn... Everyone of them are totally genius musician. One of the most greatest musicians gathered in one group. Hell yeah.
John entwistle is a legend! The man that founded the Who and the greatest bass player of all time.
I dunno I'd say it's a tie between JE & the Stones Bill Wyman
As far as the British Invasion bass players go
@Knut Rosetten Jaco was technically better but not musically. Jazz solo music sucks, no matter how much of a master the player is. Its meaningless. Bass only sounds meaningful in a supporting role in a song. Same with drums. Jaco isn't well known for good reason.
@Knut Rosetten He isn't a better player musically because he didn't make better music. Using the bass guitar as a virtuoso solo instrument is in bad taste. That's not proper to bass guitars. He wouldn't have wanted to play in a rock band and he wouldn't have fit in with one. He was a jazz snob. Its much better to be a good player in a great band that plays great songs than a virtuoso who plays experimental music that has no human interest or expressive meaning.
Ever heard of a nice Jewish boy by the name of Geddy Lee?
One of their best songs.
I’m sorry, “Who’s Next” & “Tommy” fans. They simply never topped this.
Live At Leeds did!!!! 🎉🎉
What an absolutely brilliant song. Well crafted, catchy, great dynamics, great harmonies ,great lyrics .I think it's Townshend's best
Damn. They're so young here they look like little kids! Great song. One of my Who favorites. Thanks for posting.
Awesome!! Thanks for posting the Who videos!! I love it!! My ex-wife and I listened to the Who "Live at Leeds"; on our wedding night at 18 years of age October 13, 1970 in Fort Wayne Indiana!! Praise God!!
Amazing to see The Who in videos from so many decades. Always at the top of their game.
you wrote such a nice and wonderful comment on here and I like your comment. I can tell you're a very positive person. How are you doing today?
@@SundaeExpress no, I meant what I wrote - seeing The Who in videos from so many decades, ie across various decades.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful experience!
PURE MOD CLASS !!!!!!

Keith Moon had an awesome kick drum which is what really made him a great drummer. I hear so many drummers who can't get that right but Moon did. Same with Bonham, as long as you got that kick and can do it in time you can pretty much do anything else. Listen to the middle part of this song "Im a substitute for another guy" it sounds like a Harley davidson in idle BAM BAM BAM BAM
You don't see too many drummers hit their crash cymbal with their head!
For The Who's sound in this song and many others, the most important player is John Entwistle. He plays 'out of this world' bass and lead guitar on his bass.
Entwistle was amazing, so many clever bass lines which don't just simply underscore the chord progression. The Real Me is probably the best use of bass for me
Totally agree on Mr. Entwhistle`s playing. Played so well.
the simple things you see are all complicated timeless masterpiece
First time I've been glad Auto-Play was engaged...! Been a spot since I've heard this song.
PEOPLE DO NOT EVEN REALIZE HOW GREAT THE WHO WERE !
It was the 1990's when i was properly introduced to the Who. And this is the song that sold we to this band.
Keith is so on top of his game here, just having a great time making music -the way music is supposed to be.
Exactly. 19 years old and playing the greatest follow-up single to "My Generation". Doesn't get any better.
Enwhistles bass on this song is years ahead of any of his contemporaries. The band is four guys simultaneously trying to climb to the top of the same pole. Chaotic brilliance!
The drive and riff on the prechorus would sound right at home in a modern rock song.
This track is supposed to be a dopey pop song but the bass is too bad ass, the drums are grunge as fuck and the vocals are some punk shit. Everything they did was decades ahead of its time.
Exactly, good
You’ve got a way with words!
@@martynparker6470 "decades ahead of its time." especially
This was never meant to be a dopey pop song , , do you not understand The Who ?
If this is a dopey pop tune ...
What is Magic Bus ??
Pete's intention to make this record a play on 19th Nervous.
I have never seen such a bunch of good guys playing. Great job.
Gotta love Keith Moon's drumming style here.

My dad tells me about his childhood and how he always listened to the Who. He recently took me to one of their concerts and I had the time of my life. Dang, I wish I was born back then. Looks like I'm stuck with Cardi B and Tekashi 69
M4NGO Please do not despair - you are NOT "stuck" with any of today's crap - thank heaven for Thomas Edison and Emile Berliner for inventing the phonograph and flat disc, respectively. As long as we have the media (vinyl, CD's, etc.) great music will NEVER die...
Fr this modern stuff is horrible
Man, fuck this life take me back to the 60's and 70's Baby! I need a time machine people!
I need a time machine too haha! I’m 14 but have always had nostalgia for those times, However I didn’t exist so there’s that. But I’d Love to so I think I need a time machine too! Haha
The jacket Pete Townshend is wearing is off the scale cool wise.
They could probably fill a museum with all the Union Jack suits and ww2 RAF insignia related clothes they wore early on. They also seemed to like British traffic sign art as Pete is wearing on the back of his coat.
centralscrutinizer66 ?
+centralscrutinizer66 Somebody made the point that groups in the early 60s tended to wear identical "uniforms" - notably the Beatles, but the Who were one of the first bands not to do this.
This was Mod fashion. They were basically transformed into Mods by their managers, Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. They capitalized on the Mod movement, to their great advantage.
I think that the Rolling Stones were probably the first.
Best band ever from the 60's, still rocking all these years later. remember this first time round. in my late 50's now. ☺☺☺☺
Your sssssooooooo right, in my middle 60's now.......ouch!!
God bless both of you for sticking with good music! 😊❤️ hahaha
Yes! I’m 14 and same here
62yr old Grandma and STILL loving The Who.
Hi
What a powerhouse line up...each member of the band had outstanding facilities on their given insturment.and as a unit .....long live the who...I say
all the band members complimated each other. fantastic band
Not my original thought, but this band had a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a lead bass player, and a lead drummer. Double check on the drummer!
OMG Mod culture at it's best. AND I remember it! Great days, especially if you were there.
+Ann TwoShoes yep...#feelingveryold
Moon holds the drumsticks a little differently - I have always loved this song.
I believe thats due to the lip syncing
Spencer Olson
he's goin for the inner part of the crash cymbal to make it chime i think, tc
John Entwistle’s Bass skills were second to NONE. HE was THE standard that other bassists strove to MEET!!!!!
The greatest film clip of all time.
I freaking love the Who!!! The band is so legendary , but I never really paid attention to Keith Moon before until now
, he was an just unbelievable drummer and character, i mean in this video he's a kid, but when you watch from just a few years later,.. wow! ....He goes to town on those drums man! just killing it!
best drummer ever
Keith was great in back in the day. My favorite rock drummer. The whole f-ing band is awesome.
Greatest ever British injustice. The who never got a number one
timeless masterpiece
Better than that
Best band in history....
Townshend is the only guitarist I know that can play acoustic guitar on an electric lol
Also note it's plugged in to an amp either
SuperModwolf it's not plugged in either
The Beatles could have the chicks but is incomprable with the energy and the raw of The Who.
I think these 4 boys (particularly John) would have had a field day .................
Beatles and Who are my favorite bands from 60s, I love them equally.
i'll say one thing. the who was the best dressed band in rock !
Pure class. Great lyrics. Great musicians. I love it.
These guys are up there with the beatles and the stones.
The Who, was/ is staggeringly brilliant.
I have always LOVED this song. Best Who song in my estimation. The rolling rhythm of John, Pete and Keith at 0:27 gives me chills... STILL
