The even more amazing thing is that during the 2018/19 tours, his voice improved/repaired in some magical miracle, and he sang it even better! Townsend remarked in interviews on this vocal revival, but I had seen them already in SF before I heard this, and was simply blown away.
Oh. it's because not only Rog is using his body as an apparatus. He uses his mind and soul as well. It's a well godly designed set... And band... And this is not "just some song".
🙌 Music is, unfortunately, not what it used to be. The talent of writer musicians is still out there, but that's not what the industry showcases or pays for anymore. It's tragic. 😞
Have to give Pete big applause here. He wrote this, as he did everything Roger sang. Great front man, with a great voice, but the passion originated with Pete in this masterpiece.
@@redskywalker3374 Pete isn’t deaf. He has lost partial hearing and has severe tinnitus, if he plays too long or too often his tinnitus starts bugging him.
I would spend my last dime (and I have in the past) to see The Who. They are so moving! The combination of Daltry and Townshend is brilliant - and add Entwhistle and Moon - OMG. I first saw them at the Monterey Pop Festival live in 1967. I never miss them. They completely take over my emotions.
There's not much can be said about this song. It has everything. That they can perform it like that in 2018 is just unparalleled. Roger's voice should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame on its own. Of all the great instruments, it is up there with the very best.
I’m 53 and have seen concerts since the 70’s and I must admit this is the greatest performance of all time(with Bruce Springsteen coming in a close 2nd with Jungleland). Daltery and Townsend being the best ever in their 70’s. Amazing !! Fucking Amazing!!!
when you're a true artist you keep your instrument, your body, in good shape for as long as possible. 5:30 absolutely blew me away, thank you Roger, for your devotion to your instrument!
Roger Daltry born in 1944 in 2015 he was 71. I first heard the Who whenMy Generation came out in 1965. Got to see them live in the 60's with Keith Moon. they were awesome.
On live shows they play Quadrophenia before this song. During this instrumental song Roger takes a break and drinks some tea to be ready to sing Love Reign O'er Me. Saw them live in 2017 and man, Roger still kick ass
I know Townsend definitely gets his due as a songwriter, but damn he doesn't get near as much credit for his guitar chops as he should. They flat out rocked this song here.
Roger draws in the God energy and delivers another superior performance. With the love of God and one's soul, all things are possible! LOVE.....Reign O'er Me!
Every time I hear Roger sing this SONG… it goes right through me!!! It’s So Damn Powerful and Beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes!! This Must be a extremely hard song to sing!! He gets right through the Body!! & He’s still doing IT..! Extraordinary ! Thx you Roger!! No one else can or should even try to sing this song!!!! I’m going to say the every same thing about BEHIND BLUE EYES!!!! Unbelievable Fantastic Roger! ❤❤❤
Every single time I hear this song wether it’s live or on the album it gives me chills. The hairs on my neck stand up and I feel an overwhelming emotion that makes me want to cry and I have absolutely no idea why it affects me this way. It must be the haunting melody , the images in conjures in my mind of a rain soaked beach where Jimmy stands at the end of his tether. This song is pure emotion put into melody and belted out by a rock legend who can still hit those notes at 70+ . What a band..what a song
Loved being ther....especially to share the moment with my son then at the last minute my daughter joined us from Manchester.....a night I will never forget to see the best live act ever imo...fucking epic!
even in their rock years, they were still rock mods, and mods they will always be... Ringo's boy's a good Moon... so was Kenny.. the Who appreciate the value of having the world's best drummers in the band... Quadrophenia 1973 features the best drumming I've ever heard
Amazing. Try to listen to this and not feel nostalgic, happy, sad, inspired, moved, awestruck all at the same time. I do miss Keith Moon's epic final drumming, but Zak does an amazing job. Keep rocking guys.
It has always seemed to me logical that the musicians of any generation will be no less talented than previous ones. And at 65 years old I still believe that. I still find new music that I think is stunningly good. I loved a comment by a DJ many years ago when he played an old record from decades earlier and said 'Those days were magic, but so is today, it's just a different magic' I hope that today's generation love their music as much as we older ones do, and that it's magic for them. There is still great music being made. But having said that, this really is magic.........
Oh yeah If you listen with an open mind, and not expect things to sound the same as previously (though you do here influences) there is wonderful music (some years more others) being made every year! This song, and this band remains one of the top ever, as well.
I agree with there still being excellent music nowadays. However, if you prefer older music there is absolutely nothing like it out today. That’s the sad part. I’m so tired of hearing rap and sex pop on the radio. For the record, I’m 21 so I’m not just being nostalgic. I genuinely believe music peaked in 60’s-70’s and stayed strong until the 90’s. After that, there is plenty of good music but nothing that lives up to the classics in my opinion.
Saw them at the Grand Prix here in Melbourne in 2009 and they were louder than the F1 cars it was absolutely incredible and Roger was happy with his cup of tea.Never forget that night
Sitting in the hellscape that is Houston, TX - August 2023, the night is indeed hot and black as ink, and I can't sleep and I can't think, and lord I do need a drink of cool cool rain. This amazing performance is the next best thing.❤
Saw them just 2 months ago and wow... Just wow. Roger screamed twice; once for Won't Get Fooled Again and again for Love Reign O'er Me. I got chills both times
A classic example of how using one’s diaphragm instead of throat to sing means, no, no this man is a legend to be able to still sing this song at the wonderful age he is.
First time I saw them was in 89 at the Vet in Philly. Nothing like 50 thousand people singing every word to every song. Kenny Jones from the Faces was drumming for them back then. I never had a concert give me goose bumps the whole entire show. Still isnt any group or concert that has done that since.
One of my all time favorite songs & bands. To look at them now, seeming to be so healthy at their ages blows me away. And Daltry's voice? Unbelievable! Truly talented, and an amazing performance.. ❤️
After seeing so many older singers who quite understandably have to make accommodations in how they deliver their classics, it's amazing to hear someone who can just laugh at that.
If you're ever feeling low, take a walk on a beach/anywhere in the open and crank this up on your headphones. It goes through your soul and will lift you back up.
Just saw them in St L. Amazing!! Not sure how he does it but Roger Daltrey sounds like he always did! I was in the front row at Busch stadium years ago and the concert last week was every bit as good if not better than then! All I can say is WOW!
The Who Seen them when they started and now as they do there swan song as they will all be gone. The music is still really as Great a classic Act. Big Shoes to fill .
![Love Reign O'er Me ~ The Who ~ Quadrophenia [1973]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/nOx31OiqV8w/mqdefault.jpg)
Roger is a physical marvel. Wailing like this at age 71 is unbelievable.
@@dashriprock8596 i think he never been in drugs much
Keith's looking down and beaming at Zak and proud of how he's filled his shoes.
Zak definitely brings it like Keith did
And dont forget Zak’s father Ringo….Im sure hes proud of his son…:-)
ALL I CAN SAY IT GOOSEBUMPS!!!!!!
I was expecting him to deliver a good performance "for a 70 year old". But actually he fucking nailed it by any standards!
Roger is awesome and living proof, with love and singing about it, anything is possible.
Not a clue how he can still sing this, but I'm glad he can!
Okay yeah Roger Daltrey
The even more amazing thing is that during the 2018/19 tours, his voice improved/repaired in some magical miracle, and he sang it even better! Townsend remarked in interviews on this vocal revival, but I had seen them already in SF before I heard this, and was simply blown away.
Yet he does. Always the amazing voice.
Oh. it's because not only Rog is using his body as an apparatus. He uses his mind and soul as well. It's a well godly designed set... And band... And this is not "just some song".
One of the few of lead singers who didn’t really lose his voice. When you think of Plant and specially Ian Gillan. They can’t do it.
These legends at their age are superior to anything today.
🙌 Music is, unfortunately, not what it used to be. The talent of writer musicians is still out there, but that's not what the industry showcases or pays for anymore. It's tragic. 😞
One of the most powerful songs by The Who. Daltrey gives his all in this performance!
Truly a Roger showcase... screams of his immense talent !!
These guys are hitting almost 80 years and - look slim, and hit hard with chords and emotion! And that huge voice of mr. Daltrey! Freaking chills!
He was better in the day, but 4%. Still worthwhile
Yes! Damnnnn! I never want them to stop or leave us!!!!❤❤❤❤
It seems I'm the only one left that plays this, kind of cool though. My kids like this as well
The Piano intro - the guy threw in some Debussy! That was a Surprise!
I love John Corey. He put his all into that intro, and it's different every time.
Have to give Pete big applause here. He wrote this, as he did everything Roger sang. Great front man, with a great voice, but the passion originated with Pete in this masterpiece.
Still one of THE BEST BANDS EVER in human history, period. Daltrey explaining at 71 ;)!
Well actually, i've heard Daltrey "can't explain" ;)
Without a doubt! ❤❤❤❤
My god we had a sound track for life from boy to man, thank you The Who, The Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. Love you all! 😘
Greatest rock band of all time. One of my favourite songs of all time.
Love that look Pete gives Roger at the end when waiting to give the final strum. You can just see the love they still have for the music
Right? I loved that too, beautiful man!
Magic
I thought Pete was 1oo percent deaf ..how can he do so well ?
@@redskywalker3374 Pete isn’t deaf. He has lost partial hearing and has severe tinnitus, if he plays too long or too often his tinnitus starts bugging him.
so good to see bands that want to play and smile
They sang my generation in the 60's ,they have still got it. Rip keith and john
These two original members of The Who just age like good wine 🍷
RIP John E. 🎸and Keith M. 🥁 💔
John E. & Keith M. Defintely would proud of this rendition..
I would spend my last dime (and I have in the past) to see The Who. They are so moving! The combination of Daltry and Townshend is brilliant - and add Entwhistle and Moon - OMG. I first saw them at the Monterey Pop Festival live in 1967. I never miss them. They completely take over my emotions.
5:29 Tremendous roar by Roger...
And if you look Roger has lubricated his throat generously to protect against the oncoming roar, spits it all out in a cloud of spray
The greatest scream in rock. Goose bumps every time.
@@JohnCran I think the greatest is the signature scream in "Won't get fooled again"... but on this song is amazing.
Holy sweetness, so good
It was a thrill being at this concert.
I'm so envious!!! I saw them in Ottawa about ten years ago, amazing...
The thrill was being from the States, and getting to see them on their home turf for the first time.
@@qdog568 I bet that was fun and amazing.
I saw them in San Jose, California in October last year. It was amazing!
There's not much can be said about this song. It has everything. That they can perform it like that in 2018 is just unparalleled. Roger's voice should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame on its own. Of all the great instruments, it is up there with the very best.
2015*
I agree with you still
He is without doubt the best rock vocalist of all time
I’m 53 and have seen concerts since the 70’s and I must admit this is the greatest performance of all time(with Bruce Springsteen coming in a close 2nd with Jungleland). Daltery and Townsend being the best ever in their 70’s. Amazing !! Fucking Amazing!!!

Yeah me too. Saw them in a tiny club in London.
One of my favorite Who songs
Saw them live.This was included in one of their sets
They do not disappoint live.
MY GENERATION HAD THE BEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME. THE WHO, Led zepelin , the Beatle ect.. Me i was born in 1955 it was my music . PINK FLOYD .
Shows the balls of Daltrey to still sing this song at 70+. Most 20 something's cant sing this song.
big ones
No twenty somethings can belt this out . Millennials lack the Testicles .
They just can't free that burning love.
@@classygary well, you're full of shite.
On live shows they play Quadrophenia before this song. During this instrumental song Roger takes a break and drinks some tea to be ready to sing Love Reign O'er Me. Saw them live in 2017 and man, Roger still kick ass
Rain on me best song ever roger still got it
These Men are real heroes. I am still crying...
Every time I listen to this song, I can picture Jimmy on Brighton beach. What a masterpiece. I'd have given anything to have seen this gig.
I'm gonna be honest, hearing that scream brought me to tears and I have no idea why.
Me too. It must be tears of joy.
I know Townsend definitely gets his due as a songwriter, but damn he doesn't get near as much credit for his guitar chops as he should. They flat out rocked this song here.
Peter has this wonderful mix of rhythm, and lead playing! Love it.
I think that without John and Keith, Pete has to do WAY more with the guitar.
By the power of God 🙏 he does it now 80 and sings even better! Just had a concert in Ravinia Chicago
Roger draws in the God energy and delivers another superior performance. With the love of God and one's soul, all things are possible! LOVE.....Reign O'er Me!
Masterpiece, beautifully performed, all the notes hit full throated power
Brilliant. Age hasn't stopped them.
Age stopped having them ;)
Every time I hear Roger sing this SONG… it goes right through me!!!
It’s So Damn Powerful and Beautiful! Brings tears to my eyes!!
This Must be a extremely hard song to sing!! He gets right through the Body!! & He’s still doing IT..! Extraordinary ! Thx you Roger!!
No one else can or should even try to sing this song!!!!
I’m going to say the every same thing about BEHIND BLUE EYES!!!! Unbelievable Fantastic Roger! ❤❤❤
Yes, it has been making me cry too judy
Every single time I hear this song wether it’s live or on the album it gives me chills.

It is very intense bro
I get what you're saying. Same here. It taps into something deep.
Sweet tones...
The drums sound amazing, Pete's playing is fantastic, and Roger's still got "it."
Brilliant.
What’s the drummers name?
Zak Starkey. Ringo's son...
No way is the drummer ringos son!! That's amazing 👏
@@shayvaughan9916 he was in oasis for a little while as well, excellent drummer, dare i say technically better than his dad
God I love this song !!! Still Timeless in 2020 and After
Huge fan 4 ever ✌
The piano in this version... and the way Daltrey screams "love" 😍❤
Loved being ther....especially to share the moment with my son then at the last minute my daughter joined us from Manchester.....a night I will never forget to see the best live act ever imo...fucking epic!
I was there - a brilliant day and a fantastic night. There were tears and laughter. It was a scorcher of a day!
This song still gives me goosebumps. What a performance. Outasight.
One of the best songs by band and one of their best performances.
even in their rock years, they were still rock mods, and mods they will always be... Ringo's boy's a good Moon... so was Kenny.. the Who appreciate the value of having the world's best drummers in the band... Quadrophenia 1973 features the best drumming I've ever heard
They did try to get Remy from Stone Roses at his first gig!.
I never saw this until today. This song.....just magnificent and one of my favs ever. Love The Who🤯
Amazing. Try to listen to this and not feel nostalgic, happy, sad, inspired, moved, awestruck all at the same time. I do miss Keith Moon's epic final drumming, but Zak does an amazing job. Keep rocking guys.
Still got it ..✌️
One of the greatest rock bands of all time...

Oh yeah If you listen with an open mind, and not expect things to sound the same as previously (though you do here influences) there is wonderful music (some years more others) being made every year!
This song, and this band remains one of the top ever, as well.

Glad to get to know Who these guys are Who I read about in Tiger Beat magazines in the seventies and eighties,Jamaicans love rock too.
Top notch….one of the greatest songs ever and this performance is still completely carrying all the power of its original impulse. Stunning.
Roger is bringing it big time. Long live the who. The Best!!!!!!
W O W ! ROGER IS KILLING IT MAN!
THIS SONG HE SINGS THROUGH HIS WHOLE BODY!!
Goes right through MINE!’nnnnnn😮❤❤❤❤ Tears me up every time!!!
Saw them at the Grand Prix here in Melbourne in 2009 and they were louder than the F1 cars it was absolutely incredible and Roger was happy with his cup of tea.Never forget that night
EPIC DALTREY, UNBELIEVABLE VOCALS 3-30-2023
I love the Pete little bit of solo! . .Roger's whole haunting voice
Sitting in the hellscape that is Houston, TX - August 2023, the night is indeed hot and black as ink, and I can't sleep and I can't think, and lord I do need a drink of cool cool rain. This amazing performance is the next best thing.❤
this is even better than their live aid performace
Townsend & Daltrey sre rock & roll, hands down!
5:28.... wow. wow amazing, that feel from so long ago is still there, damn
One of, if not the best performance they’ve ever done.
I think only Roger Daltrey can sing this to total perfection
Saw them just 2 months ago and wow... Just wow. Roger screamed twice; once for Won't Get Fooled Again and again for Love Reign O'er Me. I got chills both times
Two epic rock n roll soulful screams right?
A classic example of how using one’s diaphragm instead of throat to sing means, no, no this man is a legend to be able to still sing this song at the wonderful age he is.
HEL YA , GOOD BUDDY!
I have never seen Roger in the zone like that!
I can’t believe how much I love this song ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
First time I saw them was in 89 at the Vet in Philly. Nothing like 50 thousand people singing every word to every song. Kenny Jones from the Faces was drumming for them back then. I never had a concert give me goose bumps the whole entire show. Still isnt any group or concert that has done that since.
the Who always rocked live
My favourite Who song ... amazing
Awesome!!!!!! Leaves me breathless!
One of my all time favorite songs & bands. To look at them now, seeming to be so healthy at their ages blows me away. And Daltry's voice? Unbelievable! Truly talented, and an amazing performance.. ❤️
One of the most powerfull songs ever!
One of the most meaningful songs of all time. This version excels!
They sound amazing!!!!
Hard to pick a favorite Who song but this is certainly near the top.
After seeing so many older singers who quite understandably have to make accommodations in how they deliver their classics, it's amazing to hear someone who can just laugh at that.
Grande,grande solamente Roger Daltrey y The Who larga vida al Rock
We don't get older, we get better!!!
Peter Townshend (main guitar) hasn't changed a lot since his 1979 hit single, "Let my love open the door."
That's what great songwriting does ... gives you something you can still care about when you sing it, once again, 45 years on.
If you're ever feeling low, take a walk on a beach/anywhere in the open and crank this up on your headphones. It goes through your soul and will lift you back up.
Just saw them in St L. Amazing!! Not sure how he does it but Roger Daltrey sounds like he always did! I was in the front row at Busch stadium years ago and the concert last week was every bit as good if not better than then! All I can say is WOW!
The Who Seen them when they started and now as they do there swan song as they will all be gone. The music is still really as Great a classic Act. Big Shoes to fill .
What a great show! Still a lot of energy and fantastic vocal regardles of age,amazing.
The WHO forever.
The best live version of a song ever sung. Simples.
Un pur joyau qui brille depuis 46 ans ! Merci Pete et Roger , et RIP John et Keith .
This Classic Song STILL KICKS SOME SERIOUS ASS! I LOVE IT!
One of my favorite live performances
Such a great voice. Such a great song. Such a great band. I hope the young appreciate the foundation of modern rock
Amazing song...NEVER get tired of hearing it.
Over 70yr old and has a voice like that..not to mention Townshends guitar
Awesome,unbelievable, fantastic I'm 70 years old and I look at Roger and think God you are amazing 👏 ❤️
I have other favorites but .... greatest rock singier and guitar legend/creator....... maybe these 2
One word is enough.....MAGIC
Very powerful !!
One of the best songs of all times, unfairly forgotten by that lists of Best songs ever"
Wow, Roger D is still a powerhouse at his age. The master ! The others ain’t bad either !
Everyone in the band was amazing in this song, but I gotta say roger was incredible, I would never expect someone in their 70s to sing this good
What an extremley powerfull performance!
