I met Roger Daltrey a couple of times back in the 1960's. Even at the height of his fame, he was very approachable and kind.
I met the Who in the Marquee Club, Wardour Street, London. I was awestruck by their energy and power even though their instruments were so rough and the PA borrowed. Keith Moon was hilarious and very kind to Phil Collins who was only about 14 at the time. Those were the days....
@@francesleader2746 amazing being there...lucky you
Great man
@@francesleader2746 I bet those were the days - if only for the simplicity and casual intimacy with the bands. Keith was a low-key kind soul though - seemed like most of his antics were just to make folks smile. Makes you wonder what wisdom he conveyed to young Phil.
Roger is Pete's greatest translator. Roger is no one's fool and at times was the band's driver and we live better lives because of it.
And he beat Townshends ass sometimes which is a good thing cuz Pete was a smarmy prick back then and he STILL IS
Thankfully Roger did not die before he got old. What a remarkable guy! I could listen to him for days.
There is not one day ever that Roger Daltrey's voice is not heard in our home. Thanks for that Roger.
I never thought I would watch the whole thing! I thought I might listen a few minutes but Daltrey just captured my attention and I had to watch to the end. He sure looks fantastic for 74 years old, wow!
This interview as a story of someone who had to endure hardship, and later an acknowledgement of good fortune, in addition to Roger's singing, plus Pete's writing, playing and singing, plus Entwhistle's playing, singing and writing, plus Moon's playing gives you an idea why The Who is one of the most beloved musical forces of all time
What an amazing character Roger is! Not only one of the best Rock lead vocalists of ALL time, but a man, who through his work on teenage cancer, is giving true value to society. How he hasn't been knighted by now is beyond me! Look at the other British musicians who have been knighted and they pale in comparison in terms of 'actual' achievements.
I love this guy. I have never heard any of the who talk like this. He sounds like he could go on forever. He is very funny, very cute, not too emotional, fantastic memory, swears at the right times and very factual. I think I know who the who are now. Will certainly buy the book. Thanks for the music, thanks for your charity work and thanks utube.
I read the book "My Generation" and I liked! I really do recomend it!
If you wanna really know The Who, listen to Pete’s writing and compositions. Then read Roger’s book. Then watch any live material or interviews, especially those with John and Kieth. These will give you a complete and informed understanding of who The Who were as people and as a band.
@@allbottledup9513 thank you very much for your suggestions. I am 75 and love their music. Look forward to any background material😀
@@stephengiese7549 You’re very welcome. I’m a young man of 22 but believe it or not, The Who are my favorite band/artist of all time. Always happy to share them or about them with others!
@@allbottledup9513 thanks again. Always a pleasure to text younger texters. I am always open minded and nonjudgmental.
This interview is a gem even for those not familiar with The Who.!! You can't help but love Roger Daltrey after this!
A wonderful interview indeed very heart warming.
Roger is the best frontman ever. Just a naturally cool guy, but genuinely friendly with it too.....very rare in the Rock business.
@degree7 AHEM, **Rock**
@degree7 Nope
@degree7 Nope
Well, I am not sure I totally agree with you there (I do understand where you are coming from though)...but in the pantheon of frontmen, he definitely deserves his own chapter!
i still don't wanna mess with rog.ever.
Lived the life of a rock star and the most down to earth guy.
My thoughts exactly....feel like he is my best mate 👍
concisely!!
@@philknight7954 My friend was invited to a Highlander Cruise by her sister who loved the show. My friend, Sue, didn't know that much about the show, so was sitting with her husband alone at a table a bit far from the crowd. This fellow approached them and asked if he may sit with them? It was Daltrey. She said he totally turned the evening around from a dull fan convention to a nice funny night. She didn't know who he was until the night was over. She's a country and western fan. Now she's a fan if his, because of his personality.
@@tannaeros What an amazing story. And certainly, this fits Daltrey's humble and truly good human being nature. Thanks for sharing!
This interview was awesome. I could listen to him telling the stories of his life for hours and hours. He is quite a charming and witty person.
I effing love Roger Daltrey. What a god damn legend.
Great hearing him talk about WWII. I feel my parents and grandparents were all affected in the same way.
Roger is indeed an incredible guy as everyone else here has already commented. Liked him quite a bit before hearing this but now have a great deal more of respect for the guy!
He is a living legend,thank god he is still around.
i think he'll be around for quite a while yet
Everyone from the who are/were legends in their own right, its so refreshing to see someone thats a household name but not up them-self.
If god existed, Moon would still be here...
Agreed
teppolundgren
God does exist.
Keith's still around.
Saw him at the Bag of Nails the other night.
He took off all his clothes and blew up all the toilets again.
That laugh of his is priceless! God bless you Roger
Roger is such an amazing man. God bless you Roger for an incredible job.
I'm not a Who fanatic and not into arty stuff like Tommy. Well this year I saw Daltrey at age 74 do Tommy in its entirety- in 105 degree heat no less. It was unbelievable. Seriously unbelievable. The notes he consistently hits, the emotions and storytelling, the stamina and charisma, the orchestration. All without the now-standard lyric teleprompters. Pretty sure nearly every person left that amphitheater blown away. He does everything but walk on water.
He lives for and is in love with his craft. And gives everything he's got. EVERY time. Even when the voice was failing from the throat stuff. He sounds pretty darn good right now. SEE THEM.
@Mike Stevenson. Go to Live At Leeds and listen to “Amazing Journey and Sparks”. Then come back and tell us what you think. THX.
And no one had a heat stroke. Hoped that u at least bootlegged the show
Roger comes across as a very human person and very real. He really seems to care about things. And he tells a good story that holds you. This was an excellent interview.
WOW! What a wonderful guy ❤️
This band changed my life on so many levels. I was in high school when Keith Moon Died I absolutely loved keith as a drummer.
It don't bb get much better than this, the 50s- 70s were real life. I hope I die before I get old!! Lol
Roger Daltrey is a truly wonderful rock musician! Thank you, Roger...
'Genuine' is a rare commodity in the business of show, big voice, extremely big bowling shoes, but an even bigger heart
I've also been a Who fan since the age of 10. I never get tired of reminders that Roger is a lovely person. The book is really great by the way. Not rocket science, but fascinating and a joy to read.
Just watched a recent interview (2012) with Townsend about his book, and I'm struck by how different these two men are in terms of their approach to music and the band. Pete is so esoteric and artsy, while Daltrey seems to feel his influences were born of the working class - a 'get her done' attitude. Amazing they lasted together so long - I suppose opposites do attract.
Roger Daltrey what a man.
No ego, just a down to earth, nice man. I can't imagine the red mist because he seems so gentle.
Roger is such a down to earth, self deprecating guy. Very endearing. ♥️
I love him. He is down to earth, humble and open minded.
totally agree with Roger, Townsend is one the greatest songwriters of all time
Pity he's a nonce.
@@paulduffy1889 ~ No, that's been cleared up. Don't be a troll or a Band-Wagon jumper.
Paul Duffy yup . And we All have fallen short . What’s your claim to fame Duffy ?
@gary grine have you ever tried to drag a fully fuelled Nimrod?
The best concert I ever saw was Roger Daltrey at the FOX theater in Detroit. Entwistle was there, along with Townshend's son. They ROCKED. Started out with "My Wife", ended with "Love, reign o'r me" with almost every song one would want to hear in between. The venue was intimate enough that you could actually see them. It was amazing.
When did u see him at The Fox??
I'm absolutely floored!!..I think I just witnessed the greatest and most enjoyable "Rock" interview ever in my life, and at 59 years of age, I've seen quite a few. Roger had me in stitches throughout most of the conversation. But it was the honesty, and the emotionally touching moments that really got to me. I've loved this guy as a vocalist for 50 plus years, but I love him as a human being even more. Can't say enough about this marvelous discussion. Thank you very much for this upload, from Tim in Canada.
Corea kixx. . I'm 56 now...And I absolutely adore this interview...Covers so much...WWII from a Britt's perspective...How horrible all the Mum's had it during the War.....His Dad being a Higgins Boat Capt. At Normandy on D-DAY... My Father was an Island Hopper had plenty of Higgins Boat rides and also died with Shrapnel in him.... And all the other stuff.. amphetamine use how Roger flushed it....like hell with this..
And the principal's involved...Roger is such a GREAT GUY..... Had the honor of seeing them at the Hollywood Bowl this year... just lovin it ..... Merry Christmas to you and yours up there in Canada.... blessings from California. Eric Underwood class of 81 Downey High School
Totally agree!
Corea Kixx I agree with mostly everything you’ve just said Tim .. this guy is in my top 3 rockers of all time on a personal level ..
This SC, USA Gal always loved The Who. I wrote my senior term paper on the difference between hard rock and heavy metal. I made a 110+ which was the best grade in my class.

Queen of useless information ❣
Ok
Age has done Roger well...all that energy has found a good place.
Just stumbled on this interview this man seems very much a good character and very down to earth.
He's a really intelligent and amusing bloke.
The best interview I have ever seen on Roger. Very open and honest. The Who still remains as the greatest Rock band ever. Roger is still the best looking Rocker of the 60’s. He looks and sounds amazing. Long Live Rock!
The greatest rock singer, and a great man as well! Awesome interview.
Was impressed by Rogers singing from first hearing him in my childhood. Still am, im now 57. Time passes....
@m k i wont contest that claim! He has other admirable attributes also.!
Excellent interview with a living legend. The London boy behind blue eyes has had a most adventurous and, paradoxically in the rock world, a stable, rewarding long life. Long may Roger continue his meaningful journey.
The the very best singer in Rock music even in his 70s
One of the greatest voices in history of rock!
I'm so so glad I listened to this. His post-war experiences are fascinating as is all of this.
Whos Next and quadraphoenia were the sum of my youth , thanks
Roger Daltrey is amazing talent
Roger is such a sweetheart. He has led such a wonderful rock and roll life. Props to Judge for letting Rog tell his story.
Roger is a legend, and so personable.
Thank you so much Mr. Daltrey.
You've made life so much more enjoyable with your music over the years.
You truly deserve all of life's blessings for the happiness you have brought so many of us "great un-washed" out here in the hinterland's of this crazy world.
Keep on rockin' !!
We love ya !
My first impression was "sheesh not ANOTHER interview by someone who doesn't know their history nor appreciate their music". But Judd did a great job and brought out Roger's story very well. Thank you@
Right on
Man what a great session. Rog’ is such a decent and down to earth human being. What a great man. And much respect for making his situation with his wife work, even if it is an “unconventional marriage”. And Judd did a wonderful job too!
what does that mean? is it like with entwistle where he shags on the road but is loyal at home?
The only time I have ever heard him mention the evil disposition he had in the early days. According to Keith Moon's biography, Moon was really scared of him. He knocked Townsend out cold once. And, according to Pete, he joined Roger's band to be protected by him because he was so tough and such a good fighter. In the early days The Who was his band, and he was reputed to have "ruled it with his fists". It is amazing to me how he has matured into this genial, kind man that he seems to be today.
as he has said, Daltrey realized he needed the Who if he was going to do something more with his life than being a sheetmetal worker. A humbling realization to be sure, but he was right, just like the fact that everyone else had to be asked to join the band. Really a concerted effort to pull together to make it all work. That's probably how all bands should operate if they want to last long-term. Most have proven that they can't otherwise.
Great interview, Roger Daltrey is such a great person and a stand up guy. So refreshing to see people like him when there are so many jerks in show business. He's a true role model!
I met Doug Sandom once, original drummer for The Who. They still loved having him come around, and he's glad people still know who he is/was. Cool guy.
Nice! Is he still alive?
@@fernandomaron87 I think he's passed away now.
I could listen to Roger forever!!!
Great Singer,great looking guy,great Sense of humor and he is so funny. He is complete!!!
I loved the book. He came across as truly honest and down to earth. I only got queasy two or three times. It's not for the extremely sensitive. What a lovely man. Thanks for all the inspiration, Roger!
Never understood why people are constantly comparing one band with others.
Just take what each has to offer and enjoy it for their own merits. Don't limit yourself.
Most music from The Who's era was fucking amazing.
If you think The Who were/are better than anyone else then great but it's only your tastes.
I love them all. Beatles, Zep, Who, Stones, Kinks, Small Faces, Grateful Dead, Creedence, Hendrix, etc.
Magical times.
amen.
Yes. See you on the other side of the entrance.
"Hope I die before I get old"
Better Not.
LEGEND 💖
what an incredible interview, honest, caring and interesting
Pure Legend. Also likable and down-to-Earth.
an artist still bringing insights. Roger Daltrey is someone you can look up to. Nice interview, too. Rock on!
Good interviewer just letting Roger talk pretty rare these days
I loved his bio and all three of the recent bios have made me appreciate his contributions to the band.
This man still is a rock god. Best hair ever !!!!!!
I've got the best hairballs ever, if you're interested?
I'm 57 and he looks younger than me LOL
Yea he is not Bald like all the rest of us!!
This was a delightful watch. A great Raconteur and very warm Human being. He and The Who have provided the main sound track to my life.
Absolutely fascinating! Bravo Roger....thanks Judd. I ordered the book.
Mr. Apatow knows how to do an interview. Thanks for bringing so much to us from Roger Daltrey.
Roger and Pete are both great storytellers. I couldn't stop listening to this.
I love the who, and roger is the ultimate front man, great vocalist, true rock legend.
What a great interview of an icon of Rythm and Blues music.
One of the best, hands down !
Roger is frickin hilarious! I was eating as I watched this and I was spitting food all over the place!
I could listen to him tell stories all day x
Fantastic interview and total respect to Roger Daltrey and The Who. Remembering seeing Quadrophenia for the first time aged 12 in the midst of the mod revival ... happy days!
Love listening to Roger and his great memories!
I love Roger so much. I saw the Quadrophenia & More concert twice a few years ago. It was such an excellent night, and it was a thrill to hear my favorite The Who album live.
I saw them do that over 20 years ago with Billy Idol and Gary Glitter in tow. I then saw them do it what - 4 or 5 years ago? That show was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I've seen them over a dozen times and they get better and better - even without John. I've also seen roger do Tommy. It was excellent. The last time I saw them was 2016 and he sounded great. They had had to cancel twice due to his health. As long as the three of us are still standing I'll go see them again.
By far the best interview I've ever seen regarding the music industry.
Roger is such a great guy. Wonderful things he has done for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Gosh...so much RESPECT! Thank you for all of the great years of great music!!!
What a phenomenal interview...Roger is The Greatest Vocalist of The Greatest Rock Band Ever
Uh, no
who is better over the last 50 years?@@Izzbadd
@@hardrockindaddy Freddie Mercury wasn't half bad. I agree though that this man is one of the best
@@dave32566 Freddie and Roger and Bowie seem to all have lived ion the same era! Have we run out of great front men?
Why do stupid fucks compare bands and vocalists?
Queen couldnt have done what the Who had done and vice versa
What a Wonderful human being 🙏
Wow, great Interview as always,' THE WHO ,Roger has always been my Idol as well as Pete, John and Keith since the late 1970's .. Still sing their songs to this day & till the day i die , not forgetting a many of bands which i have been very lucky to have played in since i was the age of 16 years old now not far off turning the age of 55 years in 6 months time lol
Oh! .. One more thing to say! ..
Roger Daltrey, Only lives under a mile away from me in a small Village out in the sticks & luckily for me from time to time are paths will cross at the local shops or the local garage. It always makes my day.
Love The Who Forever
🤩
Roger is a nice funny guy with a great sense of humour 😀😎😍❤💋👍xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Fantastic! Great stories by Roger, one of the best ever, and funny stuff by Judd, great video!
seen the who four times with moon in the band, they'll never be another drummer like him
Nor a bass guitarist like John Entwistle.
Moon would have been great to witness ,amazing showperson✌✌
I can’t imagine the who without daltrys vocals he’s an amazing frontman one of the best to ever do it
I've often thought Daltrey's voice could be described as a force of nature.
great interview Roger is a true legend the worlds a great place with roger in it
Happy Birthday Roger.. he turns 75 today.. March 1st .
What a lovely fucking Rock god this man is. Singer in the greatest Rock and Roll band in the World and helping save kids' lives into his pensioner years. Legend.

What a great man he cares about people and their wellness thank you Roger Pete Keith and John for all the great music. Hope Roger and Pete keeps on going.
That was fun. Very happy to have watched that. Thanks Roger.
He looks better with age, and his hair is beautiful.
he's still cute right?
I Loved watching Roger on the 90's TV Series Highlander as Duncan MacLeod's Immortal friend Hugh Fitzcairn.
Roger is a true, genuine Gentleman!
Wow, Judd Apatow is such a respectful guy. Great interview and also great video, thanks for uploading it...
The great Roger Daltrey.
