I was in the Juilliard Orchestra for this concert. Watching this again brings back so much nostalgia! It was so much fun to play. And also my first time playing at Carnegie Hall! Thanks for posting this.
Simon is just living the dream,where hasn't he been ? what hasn't he done ? non stop work.Any thing he wants,he delivers & with authority..incredible sets - sounds, the people he meets...it's ridiculous.He plugs in anywhere - the world over..lol..GD !
There's two orchestras playing here actually. Simon and the OTHER orchestra. I would have given my left nut to see this live! Proof in point that Pete Townsend wrote a masterpiece in the seventies that stands the test of time. Tommy and Quadrophenia are the greatest rock operas ever to grace our ears.
I was at this show! :) A bunch of the "professional" musicians were with The Who on the 1989 Tour which was with Townshend on the Deep End shows back in 1985.
Interestingly, Simon notes he “ripped off” that fill from Herbie Hancock’s “Rockit” record. This is a fascinating breakdown by Simon: ua-cam.com/video/6ZmWj_HetZ4/v-deo.html
@@JohnLnyc Yes I saw that Drumeo video... but Simon was talking about another fill from "Give Blood"... not the fill from this video. Cool fill though ;-)
Beautifully orchestrated…. When will be be knighted like Paul McCartney and Elton John…. To hear all of these themes done as a medley…. Pete should receive the highest of musical and composition awards
Simon played on electric violinist Shenkar's album "Touch me There" which Zappa produced. He tells stories at clinics about Zappa coaching him and giving him suggestions on the music.
Simon is amazing. Greatest? Ever? Tough one. He’s up there though. Special mention for a percussionist who is also “up there” and on point here. The truly great, Jody Linscott.
@@MrRezRising They do really look alike. Linscott American born has been based in England for most of her career. A favorite of both Townshend and Gilmour she and Ray Cooper pretty much have the UK percussion scene locked up lol. Tours with Dido a lot. Dobkin has mostly performed with US artists and is California (I believe) based.
@@JohnLnyc Ty again. I have seen Ms. Linscott before, as I'm guessing that's her in Deep End Live, and probably in quite a few other gigs. Yes, Debra has pretty much ruled the percussion game over here as well, at least the high profile gigs. 🤘
I think she was the lady that Townshend took to Joe Walsh's house in the early 80's..In his book ,Who I Am., Pete describes how Joe lays out all this cocaine from one end of a six foot table to the other..Pete and Joe look on in amazement , as Jody does the entire amount !
@@musopaul5407 Isn't she that gal that Townshend describes as doing all this cocaine at Joe Walsh's house ? In his book , Who I Am, Pete describes how she was in his touring band with David Gilmour, among others , and Joe laid out this massive amount of the drug on a 6 foot ,maybe 9 foot table , and Jody amazes both Joe and Pete by doing it all ! You might no a little bit about her off-duty activities .
If Simon Phillips happened to be part of a really famous group he'd be in the top 3 or 5 drummers ever... Toto is probably what gave him the most exposure but wasn't a rockstar type of band....
The first time I saw The Who was at the International Amphitheater in Chicago, in 1978. It was right after Keith passed away. Kenny Smith drummed. The band came out, all dressed in Union Jack coats. The first song they played was Substitute. I stood on my chair and screamed for the whole 3 hour-plus set. Tommy can ya hear me? Can ya? Can ya?
@@Tamadrummer708 interesting, didn't know that. I have always admired her energetic performance since i have seen her first time on Mike Oldfields TB part 3...
I've always said if Townsend knew more than 3 chords (speaking figuratively as rock is based on a 1-4-5 three chord progression) he'd be fucking Beethoven. Stuff like this just proves how great of a composer he is. Add to that his lyrics, and he's a songwriting genius 2md to none.
Pete did great things with unexpected modulations very early on [see "Pictures of Lily] , and created some very unique guitar voicings. If not Beethoven, he certainly used as many chords as Purcell ever did.
That was the most powerful thing I'd ever heard. Trump should use all these players (including, and especially Simon Phillips) for the opening of the inaugural ball and perform exactly this!
Who arranged this? that is a meld of the themes from Tommy and Quadraphenia I would like to hear an extended version of this . That was brilliant but too short
Here is an alternative studio rendition of this arrangement; from Who's Serious: Symphonic Music of The Who (1998), featuring the London Philharmonic Orchestra along with Simon Phillips, Zak Starkey, and Billy Nicholls: ua-cam.com/video/JywJlrLYEQA/v-deo.html&start_radio=1
Ok, what’s the purpose of the round frame above the chimes on the percussionists set up at 2min 50 sec? It looks like the rear support from a rota-tom ! There’s nothing hanging from it, anyone know? I guess it could be “played” as it is, bit strange though!
Palladino már itt játszik velük! Szegény OX - ot (John Entwistle) vele pótolták a halála után.... Simos Phillips is sokat játszott velük, de végül is Ringó Starr fia lett a befutó... még most is Ő a dobos.

I went to Curtis. Would I have loved to be in this orchestra. Lucky you!!!!
I was in the crowd. How I wished I were on the stage.
This is why it is called classic rock.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

The amount of bands from so many different genres he has played with is truly astounding.
Its because he's got the bag, he's the guy you call when you want big drums and perfection.

Proof in point that Pete Townsend wrote a masterpiece in the seventies that stands the test of time. Tommy and Quadrophenia are the greatest rock operas ever to grace our ears.
It just goes to show how great Pete is as a composer when you hear a great arrangement like this. Simon of course is spectacular. When is he not?
Only one conductor in this band and he has two batons and a headband ;)
Simon is always spectacular!
Simon is a master at his craft. The best.
I doubt Pete arranged this medley, this is an exemplary performance and Simon Phillips is just amazing!!
PETE TOWNSHEND IS a musical genius
I was at this show! :) A bunch of the "professional" musicians were with The Who on the 1989 Tour which was with Townshend on the Deep End shows back in 1985.
What makes Simon great is his ability to be both melodic and technical at the same time. Plenty of great drummers out there, but few are both.
Daltrey doesn't sing at all ... 😮
Incredible. Si Phi first and foremost a musician. Jodie and Si were amazing together on the 89 tour.
Caught that tour at Alpine Valley music theater in Wisconsin. Blown away. Especially witnessing Phillips for the first time
Every person on this stage is amazing! But credit Michael Kamen for the orchestral arrangement and conducting. A genius whom we lost way too soon.❤️
It's all about Simon's fill at 4:31... mind-blowing to pull that off!
Mark O'Brien Get's me every time.
How about the one at 1:24?
@@FritzsVideo It takes some real grapefruits to play the way he does!

Simon is a hero.
Simon Phillips is probably the best drummer ever! @
+roo deejoo Did he ever play with Zappa?
Simon did play with Zappa. On just one album I believe.
Thanx! I'd like to hear Zappa with Phillips! I''ll search on UA-cam now! @ ;-)
absolutely
Simon played on electric violinist Shenkar's album "Touch me There" which Zappa produced. He tells stories at clinics about Zappa coaching him and giving him suggestions on the music.
Incredible! Such powerful, emotional music. I think if I’d been there I would be weeping.
This is amazing. The craziness of the drumming makes it, bt everything sounds so good. This is amazing, he sound of the orchestra is amazing!!!
Simon...Magnifique 🤗

Let's not forget to recognize Jody Linscott on percussion and the 'rabbit' (John Bundrick) on organ/keyboards.
Pete Townsend getting the credit he deserves as a composer and songwriter.
Simon Philips un vrai Keith Moon Bravo!
Magnificent.Timeless. Music of the Annuir for sure. Thank you to all of those musicians. Bravo!
This is what it sounds like when the streets meet the sky.
Don't forget the female percussionist! 👍👍🏾
Jody Linscott
I bet she was a fan of Ray Cooper :-)
Great!
Not to mention the girl on percussion - wow!
Simon Phillips one of the greatest drummers on this planet
This is so amazingly awesome!
If Simon Phillips happened to be part of a really famous group he'd be in the top 3 or 5 drummers ever...
Toto is probably what gave him the most exposure but wasn't a rockstar type of band....
His resume speaks for itself.
agreed! regardless of what bands he might have been in he's easily in my top 10 drummer list
Wonderful
FANTASTIC!!!!
Utter chills. I love this. :)
I wish the would re-issue this Concert on Blu Ray
I bought it in México City.
Realmente impresionante e increíble. Y la chica de la percusión se sale. Gracias.
SUPER, SUPER, SUPER - SENSACIONAL !

Trumpet player squeeze in that final high note: validates trumpet player stereotypes. :P
Hi, Tim! Damn right. :-) "We ain't stoppin' till I'm poppin'!"
Wonderful arranging and orchestra. Blows away the recent Classic Quadrophenia arrangements, which are totally anemic by comparison.
Definitely agree. I like Quadrophenia better in its original Rock Opera format. Unlike Tommy, it does not achieve insurmountable heights orchestrally.
I just found this for sale on Amazon. It's is well worth the $24 plus shipping.
Tears.
Just say WOW!!!
Tres belle musique bravo .
@TheDrummerman95 Yes, there is: Daltrey sings Townshend
A little is enough,Rough Boys, Love reign oer' me,Sparks, Had enough, Baba O'Reily,won't get fooled again ,The Rock,Listening to you,
Me hicieron llorar. Que bueno que es esto!!!
I am re-doing my resume at this moment, and this song always gives me BALLS to tell them all exactly how good I am!!
From 6.55 to 6.67....I know what he was feeling....!!
❤
I love this arrangement. I wish they did a whole album of Townshend's stuff like this.
They did in 1998. It's a CD called Who's Serious.
too, looks like Si Phi played on R Shankars album touch me there. his own discography shows leatherette as an album he played on...
Grandiose,!!!.
para los amantes del todo!!!...la gloria!!
Yeah Michael Kamen was a great conductor...too sad he died that young..also it's very interesting to see young Jody Linscott as percussionist there...
She was also with The Who on their 1989 tour
@@Tamadrummer708 interesting, didn't know that. I have always admired her energetic performance since i have seen her first time on Mike Oldfields TB part 3...
And the late, great Michael Kamen conducting, if I'm not mistaken.

Todd Heeter They wouldn't play for that orange moron Trump !
Trump wouldn't have the aesthetic ability to appreciate this. His taste in everything is chintzy.
at least this time simon could have worn a suit...
I love his style
Goodness. Simon Phillips would have been a great fit to play for Phil Collins back then.
Strepitoso bravi
It sounded like 90's stuff like Greek Gianni. So orchestrated and epic.
Guau!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I assume the title should say Quadrophenia intro.
My call.
Awesome clip posted here.
Thank you
phil palmer on guitar too
I was there!
@ylwf Totally agree :)
Jody Linscott on percussion.
Pino!
I had no idea that Chevy Chase could tickle the ivory's so well!
Check out Deep End Live with David Gilmour ‘85
Conductor looks like John Belushi with hair
I've been watching this vid over and over trying to think who the hell the conductor reminds me of....you nailed it.
Simon Phillips the true successor to Keith Moon

You can buy it used on Amazon.
@Realshooter88 Yeah, it's hilarious!
@SimonBak90 and it kicks some serious ass. I got it off EBay, it's is phenomenal!
I dont see Roger Daltrey anywhere in this?
Checking for the UA-cam 'unmute singing' switch. No luck so far...
For those who think The Who's music has too much Pete in it...
@EirasMoon google it. You should be able to get it somewhere.

Phil Palmer there too? Formerly of Dire Straits?
Yes... He also played with Clapton and Tina Turner
I’m confused, where is Daltrey singing Townshend?
Wondered if moonie was still alive would he be part of this playing the drums
Absolutely not. Moonie with an orchestra would be a train wreck of epic proportions.
Jep! by T&M
my inordinate fear of snails and psychotic delusions brought me here
This is so awesome!....not...like a commercial for Heinz beans.

Wow, that percussionist really has her work cut out for her :-P

Lars G. S. Larsen yes but she's great
Has she played with anybody famous (other than Daltrey)?
