    This is literally the last performance by The Who with Keith Moon. And yes, Pete Townshend was the first and most famous proponent of smashing guitars. Laser trivia: the blue lasers used in this were also used in Alien (which was filming at Shepperton at the same time as this was shot) for the mist layer over the eggs in the egg chamber. Ridley Scott was having a hard time figuring out how to make it look like he wanted, and he asked The Who if he could borrow the lasers and they agreed.

    Yes, The Who were known for destruction of their instruments for years (as well as hotel rooms in the case of Keith Moon). Check out the video of them doing "My Generation" on the Smothers Brothers TV show for evidence of such. It's the opening scene in The Kids are Alright, the documentary this performance is from. I recommend checking the whole film out!

When The Band were living in California, I think it was Rick Danko that notices someone laying at the edge of the water (Pacific Ocean) he ask Robbie to come and help him, and they went down where the person was, waves were washing over him, and he was passed out, the pulled him to safety and realized it was Keith Moon.

    The Who are a great British rock band formed in London in 1964. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century & have sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have so many great songs such as "I Can't Explain", "The Kids Are Alright", "Who Are You", "My Generation", "Substitute", "Happy Jack", "I Can See For Miles", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Boris The Spider", "Pictures Of Lily", "Magic Bus", "Pinball Wizard" etc.

    Some very insightful and prescient lyrics; the outcome of so many revolutions is only who is in control and not much else has changed for the better. They're still touring 50 plus years later with two of the original members, Pete Townshend (guitarist and lyrics) and Roger Daltry (lead singer). Pete is very funny on stage. The use of synthesizer on this song gives it that spacey and futuristic feel.

    Hi Saeed| Yes, Pete Townsend was the first to windmill his arm, the first guitar smasher, and the first singer - song writer to experiment with and use the synthesizer. An energy at the peak of his power, and awesome to watch! And of course, Rodger twirling his microphone, very dynamic! My favourite band of all time, they were gutted with deaths of Moonie and Entwhistle, and therefore their music library is comparatively small (such a shame), but mighty!

    The inspiration for the song was their Woodstock Festival performance (1969) when Abbie Hoffman walked on stage during the performance and protested down the microphone. Townshend hit him with his guitar. allegedly. in Far Out magazine Townshend commented, ""I wrote 'Won't Get Fooled Again' as a reaction to all that - 'Leave me out of it: I don’t think your lot would be any better than the other lot!' All those hippies wandering about thinking the world was going to be different from that day. As a cynical English arsehole, I walked through it all and felt like spitting on the lot of them, and shaking them and trying to make them realise that nothing had changed and nothing was going to change."

    One of the greatest if not the greatest performance in all of rock history...his song also has a great message. It is intelligently written. If you can, compare Pete Townshend's version he does at the Policeman's ball back in '79. He wrote the song, and you get a totally different vibe with him performing it and the message of the song becomes clearer as he emphasizes certain parts. You can type in the search bar "We Won't Get Fooled Again (Live Secret Policemans Ball 1979" to find it

    Listening to what you said in your commentary about living your life without getting wrapped up in all the nonsense, you might appreciate Billy Joel’s brilliant “Angry Young Man,” a song about a man wrapped up in his own self-righteous anger. I love the lines, “I once believed in causes too/I had my pointless point of view/but life went on no matter who was wrong or right.”

    I do like The Who a lot, of the 3 British supergroup, they are up there with the Beatles, however I didn't care for the early Beatles, but love Sgt, Pepper, Abby Road, The White Album. I love a lot of The Who's songs from Tommy. You should do The Who at Woodstock, See me, hear me, feel me, that is probably my favorite Who song. Talking about Woodstock, my favorite group is absolutely The Band, who lived in Woodstock, they were the total opposite of The Who and The Stones, no antics on stage etc. Each have their place.

    Yes, Pete was the first to smash his guitar on stage...Keith Moon also frequently demolished his drum set. Pete was famous for doing this and in one interviewvhe stated that he sometimes ran into the music store and ran out with a guitar yelling he would pay for it next week when they were first starting out! The Who were the loudest band of the time and known for their concerts as well as their albums. They are famous for their 2 rock operas, Tommy and Quadraphenia. You have reacted to Love Rein O're Me which was from Quadraphenia. I recommend, in no particular order: Baba O Riely, Who Are You, Woodstock Footage of See Me Feel Me....there is so much incredible music. Also Emenence Front which features the guitarest, Pete Townshend on vocals (he is also an amazing singer...sings some other Who songs and has many solo albums, as does Roger Daltrey and even bassest John Entwistle and the Mad Man, Moon the Loon, drummer Keith Moon even has a solo album of adorably cute songs. ) They started mid 60s and the drummer sadly died in 78 and the recorded music wasn't ever quite the same without him. They did have some great songs after Keith, *Emenance Front* being one of them, but, to me it is almost like 2 different bands. They hit every genre from Pop, Hard Rock, Psychodelic Rock, and every kind of rock music I have ever heard.

    This song is actually from earlier than the date on the video. It was released in '71. I was in Junior High back then and you are right that it felt like a 'revolution' was coming in America - altho' NOT one like we fear now. It was nowhere as violent as today's possibilities. It was more of a cultural revolt. The 'Generation Gap' was real. But a lot of it had to do with America's part in the Vietnam war. By the time of this performance, things had cooled considerably and the war had ended back in '75. Of course, that bit about being 'fooled' soon switched to being about Nixon and Watergate politics. That said - The Who were not Americans. They were English. And I was insulated enough back then, that I could not tell you how England was doing at the time. I'm pretty darn sure they had their own troubles.

      @@SaeedReacts. There were bits of violence in demonstrations in the US in the '60s. Mostly around 'race riots', but also against the 'peaceful' anti-war protestors. The shooting of 4 protestors at Kent State by the National Guard was in 1970. Again, as a young white girl in the suburbs, I was more insulated from the race riots (more urban and mostly black neighborhoods were affected there). And I'm fairly sure that The Who audiences would have been less 'interested' in those. Not that it SHOULD have been that way, but we really were more separated still then and pretty ignorant of what was happening outside our 'realm'.

    Pete Townshend was the first guitar smasher, but by default.
    His guitar broke at the neck during a performance and Pete went nuts and finnished the job out of anger and frustration.
    The lunatic Keith Moon ( probably rocks best drummer ) then trashed his drum kit completely......the audience loved the act, so they repeated it at most live gigs, but often with Pete exchanging his good guitar for a cheap mock up beforhand.
    Unfortunately, Moon couldn't exchange his drum kit and cymbles for cheapies.
    Together with Moons penchant for throwing TV's out of windows and knocking down hotel room walls, the band never made much money until Moon died.
    A drummer that has never been replaced, except maybe by Animal on the Muppets.

LOL. Saw The WHO twice, once with John Entwistle, in 1982, and sadly once right after he passed in 2006. I have to say that the 1982 show was better, Entwistle rules. Just noticed that Keith Moon "removed" one of his cymbals towards the end. And Pete Townshend bashed it with his Guitar. Roger Daltry with one of the best screams ever too.
