I was 12 when this song came out and it made my eyes leak. I'm on the way out now at 63 with cancer and the song still makes my eyes leak and yes, I have very blue eyes.
Man.....so sorry to here this glad to have you here in 2023. Find peace live life the best you can..God bless you . I'm praying for you and your health!
I am 72. I grew up with these guys and hundreds of others just as good as them. I kept thinking that Rock would just go on getting better. Man was I wrong. The shit they call music these days is a joke! But I am proud to say my generation gave the world this music!
I was born in 83, my dads record player was my introduction to music,I loved the who as a young man, now as an older man with a more cultured ear.....still the best I've ever heard, this music transcends even the era it was created in, timeless
only thing I'm not sure about in the original post is the "hundreds just as good as them"....nah...the who were in a league of their own, especially when it came to live performances
Id say its one of the few perfect albums i have, by which i mean every song is a masterpiece and not a single poor song. Theres no even a single average song.
I still remember the first time I heard this album and this song... probably 14 with friends... I was totally amazed...stunned... one of those beautiful moments growing up you can never forget... the emotion becomes part of you for the rest of your life...
They looked good,wrote amazing songs,were powerful,made social statements, played and sang brilliantly,and lasted a very long time due to their many great abilities .....The Who. Incredible band.
I'm French and I was a 14 girl when I heard this song.. Then, I always love The Who. I'm now 67 and I have blues eyes. And thé song is always in my soul.
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man, to be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated, to be fated To telling only lies But my dreams, they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance that's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger, none of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams, they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance that's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man, to be the sad man Behind blue eyes
Being a Viet Nam combat vet, sad to say, I was looked at as a "bad man." All I was trying to do was to stay alive so I can go back home to the NORMAL life I once knew.
@@fastted9390 You were only doing what the old men hiding in their bunkers were ordering you to do. You are not the bad man. Thank you for your service.
This would be a masterpiece for most other bands. And for the Who, it's just another song, albeit a great one, but one of many. That's how great they are!
@@lilajagears8317 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I like VH, but they are not in the same league as The Who. I always thought of VH, especially in the Diamond Dave years as a party band. I guess fastted9390 just lumps them together as hard rock bands. Well, to each his own.
I missed that so-called final tour. They played stadiums all over the country and everyone new it was their swan song tour. MSG in NYC, but I couldn't go and had seen them there in 1979 on the Who Are You tour.
As a black man the first time I heard this song, i thought he was talking about black men in general.(No one knows what it's like, to be a black man, to be a sad man, behind brown eyes) This during the time of empathic consciousness. It's been anthem of mine ever since. And i lasy saw the WHO, in 07! Great show!
I'm not good at figuring out song meanings but this song made me cry often because my brother and I were raised by an alcoholic single Mother. Through sports I was able to connect with our Father if he ever came around. But my brother Mike wasn't able to connect at all. He was left out on an island all alone. In turn he started to get in trouble as a young teen, ran away from home a couple times and ended up in children's homes. But we loved The Who TOGETHER. It was special. I have brown eyes, his eyes are blue. And I'm crying as I type this. Wow.
Yes he is, great bands don't carry passengers, there's 4 of them and that's what makes them . When you actually think about the greatest bands, not just the decent ones it becomes a case of stating the obvious really, eg, the who, the stones throughout the change of guitar players (3), zep etc, that lot are unrivalled
Yeps, and on the Quadrophenia album, he really shines. Every track a masterpiece. The final track, Love Reign O're Me, says it all. I still cant decide if Who's Next or Quadrophenia was their best album, at least of the 70s. They did some good late work too. 1981's post Moon album Face Dances had some good songs on it.
And then Disco happened and infected so many bands. I still can't listen to Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 and not feel nauseous. Genesis goes all pop in the 80s. Sad. Those late 60s and early 70s, till about 75, were quality.
WITH YOU THERE MY FRIEND 60s till 75, ,76 EPIC WE HAD PROPER MUSIC THEN IT JUST SLOWLY WENT DOWN HILL, I,M LUCKY I BROUGHT MY 4 BOYS UP ON OUR MUSIC AND KNOW I,M GETTING MY 10 GRANDKIDS INTO IT TOO. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
to go back to those days and relive those times would be magical. So much good music in my childhood... didn't know how good it was but looking back now... I can see it was epic!
I once went to a party, years ago, that went on through the night and all the while Who's Next played endlessly over and over. Toward morning I said to my buddy, "No one is changing the music and I am glad for it. This album is so great it doesn't get old". He enthusiastically agreed.
Very funny , for me it was meeting some friends who were traveling through town , picking me up from one Dead show to go to another 5 hours away. I thought they had their own tapes to listen to so, not wanting to be rude I just bought one....Animals by Pink Floyd. Unbelievably , they didn’t have any tapes. So , that tape stayed on continuous play. for the trip to and from the show. It never got old. On the fare occasion everyone gets back together these days we always raise a glass and say “ ANIMALS” over 35 years later .
Another killer song by the Who, Keith Moon really did add a lot to these songs. When viewed by each element comprising the song, they’re sparse and perhaps even simple sounding but when combined it’s rather complex, great composing production engineering and mastered. Just a f’ing awesome song
The thing to notice here is that known wild man Keith Moon reserved his drumming for the rocking part of the song. Roger Daltrey kept the growl (mostly) out of his voice for the verses. The Who was well known for rowdy hard rocking, and in this song the tension created by calm and pretty verses was felt by every rocker who heard it. That's suspense, and frankly, great musicianship.
Yes tight as Moon's bass drum. Sparse and like most Who songs straight to the point. The sharp end of the stick. And the master songwriter, Townsend, is once again writing about himself. His blue eyes.
Who's Next is a masterpiece 1971 was a very special year for music. Who's Next, Led Zeppelin IV, Jethro Tull Aqualung and on and on. I will forever be grateful I got to experience it all!
Live at the LA Forum...1969 or so...I was there...this takes me back...we all held up our lighters at the start of the concert..joints and pipes in the other hand...it was all passed around freely one brother and sister in rock to another...a security guard passed out just breathing our air...they carried him out..small faces opened the concert...or at least I think they did...lol...I'm a old man now...67 years old all my close family are dead..Mom Pop and Brother...my ex is a psycho that enjoys ripping my heart out with her ...Gaslighting and...Emotional affairs....with other men...she has a " Hes just a friend " she likes to have sleep over with her for the weekends and whenever...she showed me on a skype call from 6 thousand miles away one time while he was handing her a glass of wine on a Friday night at her apartment alone right in the middle of our talk of getting back together...But you know what...I still like myself and try to take care of myself and I have memories like this concert and my Brothers and Sisters I feel that are out there young and old that love this old Rock and Roll...Be good to yourself
A very well constructed SONG in all its parts: captivating SOUND, VOICES of a significant sweetness, superb CHOIRS: it is simply a HYMN for WHO LOVERS; a true MASTERPIECE...!!! ❤✌☮
Yeah I grew up with this too,. But it makes a whole different meaning now ,,the point of perception is a mother _________!! But at the end of the day, it's still great
I remember buying this on 8 track tape when it first came out. I had a girlfriend in college at the time and I would visit her on weekends and drive my 1963 VW bug to visit her , playing this over annd over again on the way. I've always loved this whole album and every song on it. It brings back such good memories and I still love it.
I've loved this song and many others from the who since I was a little girl. Fleetwood Mac was my favourite band as a child and I'm 37. No new music will ever come close to these bands. Beautiful and timeless ❤🩵
@@marksanzone4948 yes, you're absolutely right. All this auto tuning and showing your tits doesn't make for good talent. There's so many of them but no one can compare to the classics. Some have tried, and we had some decent music in the 90s, but it still didn't hold a candle to these timeless bands
@@marksanzone4948 I guess I'm very lucky I have a dad with exquisite taste in music lol. Even my daughter loves older music. I remember her being 5 and asking me to play Metallica. It blew my dad away lol. I think it was a proud moment for both of us. And yes, I know Metallica isn't as old, but they're good imo loo
Having not been a Who fan in the 60's+70's, I'm starting to appreciate them now. One things for sure, I'm really glad they captured the footage on proper film instead of crappy videotape. Looks good even on todays 4K screens/monitors!
YEARS AGO; I was doing on duty as a C. O. at Fishkill Correctional Facility, New York State, when one of my fellow Officers put this song on the yard's speaker system for everyone to hear. I thought it was cool, being a "Who Fan" and VERY APPROPRIATE! INMATE'S LOVED IT TOO.
There a great bands, super bands, bands who's music is timeless. The Who are all of the above and more simply outstanding number of incredible tracks ❤
What’s you boys so angry about? Life is short. Gett over being angry and get to living. You’ll be real angry sitting on your death bed thinking I wasted my whole fucking life being pissed at the world!
What kind of group creates "Behind Blue Eyes" AND "Baba O'Reilly"... maybe my two favorite songs of all time - or, at least tonight. Happy I was there to hear it in real-time.
Absolute Rock Royalty at their creative zenith , this timeless classic serves as a testament , over 50 years may have passed but the magic they created back in 71 lives on .
I discovered this song in a cereal box as a kid. For some reason, the cereal company included a Who single in the box. "Who's Next" became my favorite Who album. This song explains the first forty years of my life - the legacy of being a bullied and unpopular kid. "My love is vengeance" explains most of my unsuccessful pre-forty relationships. I am old now and have made peace with my upbringing and past experiences. Yet this video takes me right back. Thank you for posting.
The who never made a big impact until i was working on third shift in a grocery store and we would put our radios thru out the store waiting for this to come on ,amazing
I think the Who was a very underrated or forgotten as one of the biggest influencial bands ever Roger Daltrey Keith Moon and Pete Townshend what legends and Iam a Floyd man
1. This is Moon's song. His drumming to the vocal is brilliant and he just smashes the cymbals at the end of Roger's sentences once the song kicks in hard. 2. The Who's very best songs (this obviously being one of them), are better to me than any other bands very best songs. Not writing The Who is the greatest band ever, but they reached highs I don't think anyone else did.
@@morganclare4704 it's a fair question. I guess their best songs hit me in a way no other band did. That doesn't mean others did not. I guess The Who had the highest highs. But I have a long list of favorite bands and individual artists too!
I saw them in Boston when Moon passed out over his drum kit. Show over after two numbers, but save your ticket stubs. The make-up show was outstanding!!
This song meant and still does mean so much to me. I first fell in love with it in 1971 and now in 2023 my feelings are the same. It will be with me all my life John Eadington
@@The_Invisible_Self They may have been famous and one of our favorites back in the 70's, but they don't have the following today as other bands from the same error. Nor is their fan base growing. Hey, I like the Who and my statement is saying that in being underrated they are not as popular today as I feel they should be.
I was 12 when this song came out and it made my eyes leak. I'm on the way out now at 63 with cancer and the song still makes my eyes leak and yes, I have very blue eyes.
Take care of yourself but make sure to do what makes you feel good. I'm always happy to hear this song -- and this band -- on the radio, too.
Best wishes.
Sending you prayers and positive energy Sir 🎶🙏🙏🙏🦋
Man.....so sorry to here this glad to have you here in 2023. Find peace live life the best you can..God bless you . I'm praying for you and your health!
Well you are in my prayers and thoughts. I am also 63 So I know your thoughts on the song

Agree 1000 %
exactly. I never thought we'd think of rock music in the past tense.
Who's Next was the absolute best that Keith Moon ever hit.
I was born in 83, my dads record player was my introduction to music,I loved the who as a young man, now as an older man with a more cultured ear.....still the best I've ever heard, this music transcends even the era it was created in, timeless

Not only is this song great, the entire album is a timeless masterpiece
Agreed🎶💯
I consider 'Tommy' their absolute masterpiece, 'Pin ball wizard' at the heart of it.
Id say its one of the few perfect albums i have, by which i mean every song is a masterpiece and not a single poor song. Theres no even a single average song.
@@Joe-lb8qn I agree, not many albums reach this level. I can think of maybe 4 or 5
I still remember the first time I heard this album and this song... probably 14 with friends... I was totally amazed...stunned... one of those beautiful moments growing up you can never forget... the emotion becomes part of you for the rest of your life...
I'm 70 and this is still epic
I'm 73 and this is still epic! 😂
I'm 73 also. Love this song...and the Who alway's.@@zoechristopher7824
The last we see of moon the loon..
There will never be another drummer like you..
Rip Keith Moon 💞
The great Keith Moon. Just like John Bonham, the bands were never the same. Two of the greatest drummers of all time. R.I.P.
Not only the greatest drummers in the band.Even the best Bass Player. Absolutely love John Entwistle
They looked good,wrote amazing songs,were powerful,made social statements, played and sang brilliantly,and lasted a very long time due to their many great abilities .....The Who. Incredible band.
The Hu from Mongolia are very similar.
@@tixximmi1 Homophones kick ass.
But I was glad only few artists were spinning their microphone like a lasso. That was so stupid
Keith Moon and Rodger are an amazing duo , 🎵🎶🎤🇬🇧❤️🇺🇸
What is this song about??
This song has never been more relevant in 2024. We must protect and preserve the boys behind blue eyes.
It’s “man”; not “boys”-and where does the lyric talk about protecting and preserving?
Great and timeless song!
I'm French and I was a 14 girl when I heard this song.. Then, I always love The Who. I'm now 67 and I have blues eyes. And thé song is always in my soul.
What color eyes did you have when first heard the song?
@@jeffryphillipsburns Blues. Always blues.
I'm born with blue eyes.
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated, to be fated
To telling only lies
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
No one knows what it's like
To feel these feelings like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger, none of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams, they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance that's never free
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man, to be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
thanks
Being a Viet Nam combat vet, sad to say, I was looked at as a "bad man." All I was trying to do was to stay alive so I can go back home to the NORMAL life I once knew.
Brilliance …. Right there

Who’s Next is one of the finest albums ever every song is gold one of the finest bands of the era of the greatest music ever
The 70s were made of legendary bands and songs like this. Now the past can only bring memories like these👍💯🎸🎤
The Who were a force. To see them live was an event, powerful, electric, energized. What a group.
I saw them in 1982 at the Pontiac Silverdome and it was incredible!!!!!!!
@@JayVonck I seen the Stones there Steel Wheels tour the Silerdome was huge :-) Peace
Roger has such a powerful, masculine voice❤️
This would be a masterpiece for most other bands. And for the Who, it's just another song, albeit a great one, but one of many. That's how great they are!
Indeed
Well put
Yep.
Yes and again Yes - precursors of so many and timeless quality.
I like the way you said that. Right on the money!
This is what every true ROCK band wants to look like and be like....rock perfection!
They were an stoppable force that went out for blood every time they hit the stage and they took no prisoners, no one could top The Who !
Let us not forget that it was Pete Townsend who first smashed his guitar on stage in 1964. I'm pretty sure they were punk before punk.
Classy...and just fabulous ...thank Gawd I was here for it all and 50 years later this music STILL moves me. That's POWERFUL!!!
The most authentic Rock and Roll band ever. Teenage angst, overdriven aggression and incredible players.
Van Halen took over for some years with Dave at the front tho.
First time seeing these videos and they are very great. I completely overlooked and was never exposed to the who and now I am Middle AGED
Linda cancion de The Who!!
@@fastted9390 You have to be kidding.
@@lilajagears8317 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I like VH, but they are not in the same league as The Who. I always thought of VH, especially in the Diamond Dave years as a party band. I guess fastted9390 just lumps them together as hard rock bands. Well, to each his own.
When I saw The Who in 82 I sang every word to this song with tears rolling down my face. Such a beautiful song.
I missed that so-called final tour. They played stadiums all over the country and everyone new it was their swan song tour. MSG in NYC, but I couldn't go and had seen them there in 1979 on the Who Are You tour.
Saw WHO in Philly 1965.
Last on the bill with Herman's Hermits and The Blues Magoos.
@@robjordan9438 Who?
I indeed saw them in 1982! Pontiac Silverdome. Best live show I’ve ever witnessed
Perfect song!
OMG..true genius'. Blessed are we who grew old with The Who ❤
Anthem of all rock anthems... Salute to the era ! There'll never be another like it !
Keith was absolutely amazing RIP 🎶🥺🎵🤯♾️
As a black man the first time I heard this song, i thought he was talking about black men in general.(No one knows what it's like, to be a black man, to be a sad man, behind brown eyes) This during the time of empathic consciousness.

some of the lines are a loose translation from The Bible. You can find peace with Jesus. Run the good race brother.
I'm 😢 with you.
An absolutely beautiful song from the BEST R & R Band to grace the earth❤
I kept wanting this song to go on and on. Probably the best rock lyrics ever right here. Felt every piece of it.
Two types of people in this world: Those who grew up on The Who, and those who didn't.
Ohhhhh so true,....I’ll side with the former
Pete Townshend is a song writing genius!!
Yes he is, great bands don't carry passengers, there's 4 of them and that's what makes them .
When you actually think about the greatest bands, not just the decent ones it becomes a case of stating the obvious really, eg, the who, the stones throughout the change of guitar players (3), zep etc, that lot are unrivalled
yes his is Sonja
@Mike Lewis - a few is about three, I count 29 out of the 40 tracks in the ultimate collection as legitimate classics.
Yeps, and on the Quadrophenia album, he really shines. Every track a masterpiece. The final track, Love Reign O're Me, says it all. I still cant decide if Who's Next or Quadrophenia was their best album, at least of the 70s. They did some good late work too. 1981's post Moon album Face Dances had some good songs on it.
Was he gay? This is a sincere question and not meant as an insult. I read that he was in another comment but he never came out and loved opening gay.
Late 60’s early 70’s was the best time in music history ever!
Glad I lived through it
Just such a prolific period
And just brilliant songs
And then Disco happened and infected so many bands. I still can't listen to Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 and not feel nauseous. Genesis goes all pop in the 80s. Sad. Those late 60s and early 70s, till about 75, were quality.
WITH YOU THERE MY FRIEND 60s till 75, ,76 EPIC WE HAD PROPER MUSIC THEN IT JUST SLOWLY WENT DOWN HILL, I,M LUCKY I BROUGHT MY 4 BOYS UP ON OUR MUSIC AND KNOW I,M GETTING MY 10 GRANDKIDS INTO IT TOO. PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴
There was a sweet spot in the 90's that was magical. But then all the lead singers OD'ed.
oh man the drumming in this song is out of this world. only Keith Moon could do this.
Yup, genius, he was like a meteorite on the rock scene, bright as lightning but gone just as quickly, rest in peace Keith, burnt out far too soon.
You can see for a second how many drums dune had in his kit.. Awesome, played with magical energy
@@3-dwalkthroughs he had a double row of tom toms above his twin bass drums, and a pair of floor tom toms on either side of the kit.
LOL! Nope! He was just human, sorry!
Keith Moon blurred the distinction between playing 'time' and playing 'fills' in a way not really done before.
with Keith it was like an athletic event.He wasn't the most technical drummer but he was energy personified and it worked!
Gotta love the passion in the drummer.
Moon the Loon. It was said that even at his worst he was still utterly amazing.
I was born in 71, and this is my all time favorite song,.. best wishes all,..
to go back to those days and relive those times would be magical. So much good music in my childhood... didn't know how good it was but looking back now... I can see it was epic!
All members of this band, so genius!!! I am a drummer, percussionist, and l always thought Keith Moon,was definitely one of the best, BIG TIME!!!!!
Yep..you don't realise in the times..only when you age you appreciate it👍

I believe Keith Moon was happiest sitting behind his drum kit banging away on his drums.
Few bands could hold a candle to The Who as a live band
Little Feat!
Moon was amazing!!
Who's Next is a masterpiece 1971 was a very special year for music. Who's Next, Led Zeppelin IV, Jethro Tull Aqualung and on and on. I will forever be grateful I got to experience it all!

It blew my dad away lol. I think it was a proud moment for both of us. And yes, I know Metallica isn't as old, but they're good imo loo
Having not been a Who fan in the 60's+70's, I'm starting to appreciate them now. One things for sure, I'm really glad they captured the footage on proper film instead of crappy videotape. Looks good even on todays 4K screens/monitors!
2023 and this song never die ❤
Así es amigo estas canciones nunca mueren
I'm always in awe of Moon's drumming when I see old clips like this.
He was a powerhouse!
And the whole band is so tight. LOVE it!!
YEARS AGO; I was doing on duty as a C. O. at Fishkill Correctional Facility, New York State, when one of my fellow Officers put this song on the yard's speaker system for everyone to hear. I thought it was cool, being a "Who Fan" and VERY APPROPRIATE!
INMATE'S LOVED IT TOO.
There a great bands, super bands, bands who's music is timeless.
The Who are all of the above and more simply outstanding number of incredible tracks ❤
Used to listen to this back in the day powerful song, beautiful
Le groupe le plus sympathique des 70 ! Ils m'ont toujours apporte de l'energie et de la joie !!!!!!!!
Totally forgot about this song. It is wonderful to hear them all singing together.
It just doesn't get any better than the Who.
One of the best ever IMO..What a band!!☘
My favorite song of the Who! Love this excellent and emotional song: thanks
Fantastic classic song...will never get old.
When are we going to have again Great Bands like these ones??? 😮😮 Never.
Saludos 😮
A true masterpiece! RIP K.Moon, God bless The Who
This song says everything that I am, what I'm going through. The pain and anger i feel.
You're not alone.
The Who original.revive by Limp Bizkit.
What’s you boys so angry about? Life is short. Gett over being angry and get to living. You’ll be real angry sitting on your death bed thinking I wasted my whole fucking life being pissed at the world!
A masterpiece ....Not a simple song....
Lyrics from another universe! The music is unsurpassed!
What kind of group creates "Behind Blue Eyes" AND "Baba O'Reilly"... maybe my two favorite songs of all time - or, at least tonight. Happy I was there to hear it in real-time.
I wish you all could hear the bass track isolated. Brilliant playing, yes, but, the actual sound production is phenomenal.
Enjoy
The anarchic energy emanating from Keith! A powerhouse driving the group.
The Who was always my favorite in the 70's, these videos make me realize why! Incredible!
Спасибо ОГРОМНОЕ за публикацию...
ЗВУК просто Потрясающий!!!!👏👏👏
Absolute Rock Royalty at their creative zenith , this timeless classic serves as a testament , over 50 years may have passed but the magic they created back in 71 lives on .
What an amazing band!! god I miss good bands like the 70s and 80s and also the 90s!!
From Baba O'Riley to Won't Get Fooled Again, many great songs in this album. One of my 10 on a desert island.
For sure...cheers
I discovered this song in a cereal box as a kid. For some reason, the cereal company included a Who single in the box. "Who's Next" became my favorite Who album. This song explains the first forty years of my life - the legacy of being a bullied and unpopular kid. "My love is vengeance" explains most of my unsuccessful pre-forty relationships. I am old now and have made peace with my upbringing and past experiences. Yet this video takes me right back. Thank you for posting.
Godspeed❤
One of Rocks greatest songs
Just found this, brought back so many happy memories, best music era ever, so many greats. Truly great artists. Mad Moon ❤️
I feel vary lucky to have seen th WHO LIVE !! What a show !!
That's incredible. All this years I have thought it's limp bizkit's song.
But now I drink from the fresh water spring.
My parents had all the Albums. Wish i still had them.
Great emototional song
The who never made a big impact until i was working on third shift in a grocery store and we would put our radios thru out the store waiting for this to come on ,amazing
amazing... Saw them in Paris 1976🌴... Still amazed in 2023, pete roger john and the craziest drummer of Rock
😂😂😂
I think the Who was a very underrated or forgotten as one of the biggest influencial bands ever Roger Daltrey Keith Moon and Pete Townshend what legends and Iam a Floyd man
don't forget the Ox on bass. the great John Entwistle, one of the best bass guitarists ever.
1. This is Moon's song. His drumming to the vocal is brilliant and he just smashes the cymbals at the end of Roger's sentences once the song kicks in hard.
2. The Who's very best songs (this obviously being one of them), are better to me than any other bands very best songs. Not writing The Who is the greatest band ever, but they reached highs I don't think anyone else did.
Not anyone?? cheers
@@morganclare4704 it's a fair question. I guess their best songs hit me in a way no other band did. That doesn't mean others did not. I guess The Who had the highest highs. But I have a long list of favorite bands and individual artists too!
Zappa kind of beat them. Remember Keith Moon was in Zappa's 200 Motels. He played the Nun with the harp. Ringo played Zappa.
I saw The Who in concert shortly after Keith Moon died. One of the best live shows I've ever seen!
I saw them in Boston when Moon passed out over his drum kit. Show over after two numbers, but save your ticket stubs. The make-up show was outstanding!!
I saw The Who in LA in 1982 too young and wasted to remember if they even played this song😆
The Clash opened
Love practicing the drums to this song. Eventually was able to play Keith's role in the song. Those were the greatest days!!!
The Who war eine großartige Band
This song meant and still does mean so much to me. I first fell in love with it in 1971 and now in 2023 my feelings are the same. It will be with me all my life
John Eadington
the best band i was lucky to have seen in my life in 78 wembley, in awe of them ❤
I always like it when they lay the studio track over live footage. Verrry convincing.
One of the most underrated bands out there. Their talent was mind boggling
@@The_Invisible_Self They may have been famous and one of our favorites back in the 70's, but they don't have the following today as other bands from the same error. Nor is their fan base growing. Hey, I like the Who and my statement is saying that in being underrated they are not as popular today as I feel they should be.
Underrated only by the ignorant. The Who was a MONSTER band.
Underrated? WTF???
@@francehaardt8698 yes. As in they were not as globally recognized as other bands.
Not hard to argue that Who's Next is one of the top ten rock albums ever recorded. Utterly brilliant, start to finish. Maybe top five.
Got all of their albums...great songs...love this and 🎵Won't Get Fooled Again🎵
