The Who, Roger Daltrey - I am free.

[rockingwhiterabbit]

yes...the man really can walk over water..... B-)

[claudiobl6]

Puyol!!!!!!

[MilesFive]

I'm pretty sure that's a dummy at 1:14. Was poor Roger afraid of getting hurt?

[ComedicArtist866]

how can i follow?

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

I love how cute Roger looks after he spews water at the camera <3

[XxDazedandConfusedx1]

@TheBeatlesRoooock OH MY GOD ME TOO (: and your Name is fucking awesome.

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

@XxDazedandConfusedx1 Hey, thanks! I got another channel called GoingWithTheWho. That's a line from a movie called Almost Famous, from a scene at Rolling Stone Magazine.

"The band just denied 90% of the story. You weren't honest. And worst of all, you wasted our time. We're going with The Who."

[XxDazedandConfusedx1]

@TheBeatlesRoooock Oh cool, I'll subscribe :) I so love The Who. And Rolling Stone magazine! :)

[kautilya21]

i'll play this song in my party when i'll be discharged from the navy

[msbeadingchef]

This is from the movie Tommy, which is such a great rock opera and the cast is a who's who of rock. I have seen it so many times it is almost embarrassing, but had such a crush on Roger when I was younger.

[sandibeesting]

yes, freedom tastes of reality. Am lovin the freedom, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day.

[krizonras17]

paul mccartney at 1:35

[krizonras17]

@krizonras17 john lennon i ment

[pinkjammies666]

Where can i get this version from?

[sliferzzz7]

5 people aren't free

[ninyae]

Free enough to run through a field being sprayed with biocides!

[DoctorSmurfo]

Roger is walking on water on 2:30 I KNEW HE WAS JESUS

[Hollywoodsteve]

@DoctorSmurfo another great example of use of symbolism in this absolutely brilliant movie.

[ChrisRocks997]

Roger just doing butterfly. :D

[Hitheroes]

2:05 is amazingly hilarious.

[jjdecani]

This is what I felt like when I realised God didn't exist.

[NAMAS8888]

@jjdecani

This is what I felt when I realised that God exists ... ... and that none of the big industries can be more powerful unless we leave them such power

[jordansalmela]

@NAMAS8888 queer

[sharonb7323]

wow a real hottie.......

[xxJulieFlugtxx]

Oh, hi good-looking!

[mbonmik]

[mrdupo]

[400meter]

[1974LEDZEPPELIN]

I really Like this version Better than the studio. :)

[matmicmj]

PEACEANDLOVE

[YoungBelaLugosi]

Sorry i can't stop laughing ... so this is FREE !!

[dude1231456]

at the very right at 1:35 is that John Lennon

[TeraStrataGeM]

@dude1231456 yes

[jimman123456789]

@dude1231456 haha lol i might just be

[Hollywoodsteve]

@dude1231456 no, it is not.

[entwisleisgod]

the album and the live performances of tommy >>the movie though =/

[mastersam23]

@entwisleisgod i love the live performances the most but for the most part i like the movie more than the album

[Monoloptic]

this daltrey singing?

[maximocremoso]

immmmmmm freeeeeeeeeeee :) gracias a dios

[Greenday0550]

1:30 Isn't that John A Romero in the middle?

[Vlaqq]

the.message.for.degenerates.

[Mariekesone]

So Glad i got to see them Live in Auckland last Year...

They still amaze the really young with their Powerful sound!..:-)

[stanssoapbox]

When you pause it at 1.36 you can see it looks nothing like John Lennon.

[plurrjunkie]

@stanssoapbox your right it looks more like john cooper clark

[soedel1]

his voice was blessed by god

[gplan372]

still good in french!

[gabitazeppelin]

He is soooo handsome... no doubt about it :P.... I LOOOOVE THIS VERSION ! is way better than the one of 1967

[silentgreytiger]

i'm sure the original album is very meritorious in some fancy music professor way, but by goodness when i listen to it i don't get the lively kick i do from the film's songs. partially because of the new focus, and partically because of all the amazing artists not featured in the original!

[Blubrackets]

He was good at gymnastics! awsome video!!!

[Blubrackets]

2:04 to 2:35 is awsome (Even though cheesy graphics)

[Blubrackets]

LENNON How did they get him??? So Cool!!!

[crixxxxxxxxx]

Sitting next to "John Lennon" is the fat kid from the Goonies.

[crixxxxxxxxx]

One of the few songs done better in the movie than the original album. Too tame in the original, but after touring Tommy, Roger found the energy and character it needed.

[stang32]

so freakin true!! I felt that way for years.

[HHHKingOfKings101]

i prefer this version to the origonal personally

[KrugK420]

dude can swim

lol

[Hollywoodsteve]

great song, great movie, great everything!!!!

[GlamRockRuth]

Stop at 1:36

John Lennon!!!!!

[Hollywoodsteve]

"There's an internet rumour that John Lennon can be seen sitting in one of the cars Daltrey runs past - it's not true. He's just some bloke who looks a bit like Lennon." - this is according to a very knowledgable source on all things the Who. Actually Lennon was in the STATES the ENTIRE time "Tommy" was being filmed in the UK. This rumor has officially been debunked many times over.

[cataglia93]

no he's not john lennon....is his lost cousin!!!..haha

but he seems like john

[MasterVee69]

i dont like movies that are like bands music always sound terrible, If anyone ever walked up to me and said that Pink Floyd The Wall, was the best movie ever i would probly kill them... really... This song is badass but like this gay as shit.... dont be mad at me and give thumbs down, just becuase the who are like really great diesnt mean they cant suck too

[myrnalovescats]

i saw this movie for the first time . i don't know what to think i guess i liked it. I liked this song and some of the other songs .. lol i just kept watching it and staring at it like wtf !

[schizoidboy]

This song sounds better in the movie I think, besides it sounds like he means it, because he's shouting it.

[schumatrix]

Wow that butterfly and the cartwheels are prettly legit! Roger Daltrey = manbeast!

[rennieallen]

All that exercise goodness, and then he proceeds to run through a cloud of pesticide spray... LOL!

[HammerToFall13194]

i love roger in this movie! :)

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

... and freedom tastes of reality

[maricnba]

I'm Free!

Je suis libre!

Ja sam slobodan!

[Kaeleeman]

1:28 Arnold!!! 1:29 its a man!

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

lol

[1stLadyLazarus]

yes

[Ari721]

Roger Harry Daltrey is made up of genes that will never be matched! I mean, look at him!

[wesgriff]

One of his parents must've been like a centaur or something.

[x0001234567]

I would think that running underwater would put me in a panic but seeing Roger doin it I want to

[modman1960]

yes your right it is john lennon if not he is a dead ringer for lennon

[luvfinger]

I just noticed for the first time -

Can someone confirm if that is John Lennon in the last car that Roger runs past on the beach ,,,,, time frame at 1:36 - or so???????

[FingerFramer]

Looks JUST like em

[davidgrahamscott]

Stanley Kubrick at 2:03

[davidgrahamscott]

Je suis libre

[Globalizator1]

This moment 0.12-0.15 happens with everyone once in life.Tommy is the best opera ever made.

[WhoBeatlesPriestPink]

good lord roger is sexy!!

[Renwerx]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

[ComedicArtist866]

@WhoBeatlesPriestPink Hell yeah!

[Latetothepartyreview]

@WhoBeatlesPriestPink *Was

[dx3444]

great they have lyrics in spanish does anyone know spanish now

[Leberteich]

That's french, mate.

[CatholicPancake]

Je suis: i am

Libre: free

FRENCH!t

thats prolly why younanar named it i am free. idk.....

[yesledman2]

Spanish would be: soy libre.

[skipiorz]

Pure joy.

[rainman0006]

And he says he doesn't work out.... sigh.

[kumabati]

TOMMYのI'm Free大好き！

[musicelliott]

Oh yeah!  And I love the first few chords in the intro

[cookielova]

ahh me 2

[musicelliott]

Is it me, or does that dude sitting at the far right of the screen at 1:36 looks a hell of a lot like John Lennon...

[OrkSlayer3434]

I just realized that too

[warfrek93]

dude, did john make an uncredited cameo?

[schelter300]

I could have sworn it was him, I thought the same thing.

But John was in a WWII film in 1967 and found ithe filmmaking process so boring that he vowed never to appear in another film again, so I doubt he would cooperate. Looks exactly like him though.

[Coolconman1Alt]

Well he was in the movie, as himself, during Pinball Wizard

[kstaff690]

whoa, how did they get him to run on the water like that?

[bluefroggie2290]

oh i have to say i love the green screen action

[greaterthenlife]

roger does better cartwheels than the cheerleaders at my school. but i pay more attention to HIS body than the girls' at my school :)

[chocolateluver39]

roger daltrey + white pants=magic

[jninja12]

When I was a young boy i played that silver ball!!!

[supermanwich23]

I think the "singing" and "speaking" is symbolic of an awakening...

If you were through the hell Tommy was, and were healed- you'd want to do all the things you never could right away- swim, run, cartwheel, scream at the top of your lungs, and sing.

He shouldn't be able to do any of this but it's symbolic.

[davidgrahamscott]

That is very true

[supermanwich23]

need to go rent this movie again- I'm sure there's tons of stuff like that.

[thebeast8883]

...I did know, thats why I said it.

[thebeast8883]

Oh I thought he went deaf, dumb, and blind at like age 2

[davidiscool123487]

He did go blind, deaf, & dumb at the age of 2. With the Window crash woke up his senses. If you don't know this you should listen to The Who at all.

[pirateofthecarabiner]

He shut out the world, though his eyes and ears still worked and he stopped speaking..so he was aware of the world around him all along.

[thebeast8883]

I love how when he is able to speak, hear, and see, he can autimaticaly speak english.

[enlightening]

lol

[longhairhiggins]

He could speak English before he went deaf dumb and blind.

[ilikepie33445]

i sware i see john lennon in two of the cars

[cookielova]

ahhh me 2 i had to like play it back and i swear its himm

[mts2457]

first 3 chords are almost like the beginning of the Yardbirds' "For Your Love"

[yakywilly]

wooow that was exactly my first thought XD

[CatholicPancake]

unfortunately, theres a lot of obvious screw ups in this movie look on imdb. like you can so tell that roger falls into a pool you can see the walls

[CatholicPancake]

my family and friends say that roger isnt a pretty man. im just like "bitch please. watch this video.

[ledzepgirl92]

That movie is awesome and that´s my favourite scene!

Roger Daltrey is banging hot!

[greasergrls4eva]

you can watch Tommy online at ?Netflix & they show it every once in a while on VH1 Classic.

I freakin love this movie! My all time fave!

[wellowspickhammer]

was tommy a movie, and how hard is it to find. awsome song

[1960jack]

Daltrey is fuckin cool!

[FadeToParonomasia]

Tommy is the greatest movie I have ever seen.

[SplinterCell128]

This is the best song in the movie.

[FrejaSaga]

I love Roger

[jethrotull105]

thats not john lennon trust me i paused on it and it totally wasnt him

[Ari721]

he's so freakin' sexy doing that back stroke!

[silentgreytiger]

john lennon in the last car!

[6161andysa]

Is that really him? Cause I didnt realize that.

[Solid121410139]

yeah, he just happened to be on holiday in Southsea when they were filming

[curyboop]

This video always makes me smile. The great thing about Roger is he is so comfortable in his sexuality - it isn't an act, he just is. The eyes, smile, hair and body help too. :)

[thewhorocks524]

does anyone know where i can get this amazazing film on dvd?

[guitarsquiddy]

Try a shop.

Should be available on amazon, too.

[xocandyox123]

hottest hottie that ever lived!....i love when he runs in place on the lava. sooo cute. He still is very cute <33333333

[LuloopProductions]

Roger Daltrey is hott.........but he was probably on something when they made this movie lol

[misfit9]

daltrey actually stayed quiet clean throughout his career, it was the other three that did the drugs

[LuloopProductions]

yeah...probably, paul wore those jumpsuits lol

[fallenleaf25]

Who's Paul? Don't you mean Townshend?

[rubasub]

The Who had to compete with many pop gurus at the time, hence the line "freedom tastes of reality"? if that's what he sings. It reminds me of Burning Spear's "the fittest of the fittest" They wrote for an audience who were busy getting hood winked by a lot of hairy people in communes lol. The Who came from a Mod foundation and I'm not sure if they were comfortable with fake spiritual alternatives: so it meant they had to find realistic and wacky subject matter, hence their pop musical ventures.

[kaitlynm2014]

OMG! SUCH A HOTTIE AND STILL IS!!!!!

[jacknbex1]

47 48 looks like richar hammond

[2bTop]

Roger Daltrey is hilarious! I love the Who!!!!

[xocandyox123]

yummy!

[what123456789012]

the beginning sounds like knights of cydonia

[longliverock1973]

i saw the who last night for the first time and before i thought i loved roger now im completely in love with him he is so hot : )

[pamphish]

I fell totally and completely in love with Roger Daltrey in the seventies. "I'm free! I'm free! And freedom tastes of reality!"

[Thunderfinger2]

It gets slightly weird after 2 minutes

[fallenleaf25]

Only "slightly"?

[joeyhumbo]

the whole film is weird lol

[kaitlynm2014]

I love it when he is running in place on the waves, I also love his cartwheels, their hot!!

[Ari721]

It's not very fair that Roger got to look like that

It's also not fair that I wasn't alive in the 70s

[gibson1714]

i dont even understand the need for the green screen

[Trogdor250]

they lost me at the greenscreen.

[Shanethefilmmaker]

I am gonna sing this when I graduate!!!

[stratdude905]

That's interesting... does he do his own stunts?

[masterofmonsterz]

He is hott!

[chintia13]

i love roger!

[longliverock1973]

i do tooooooo i also love this movie roger is soooooo hot :D

[teegan1977]

I watched this movie last night and i absolutely love it.

[DmthNeedsAudio]

I love how he goes from having no sense his entire life to a world-class swimmer in less than ten seconds.

[Ari721]

LOL. Well, with a body like that who wouldn't learn to swim in ten seconds

[BradyAlice]

haha i friggin love the part with the green screen...i laugh so hard....hes so silly

itd be way better if he was naked..being free and all

kidding!

..sort of..

[EvilWeevil]

JE SUIS LIBRE!

[chubby2097]

i played this when i broke up from my last girl friend

[greasergrls4eva]

omg! I watched Tommy the night before my boyfriend broke up with me. After about an hour of "why"s after he dumped me, I shrugged it off, I looked up this song & set it as my profile song xD.

[bitchandahalf8]

good for you!!!

[ViviOrunitia1111]

I like this version of the song better than the album version.

And Roger is very hot in this movie >>

[xMatressKingx]

This is a great tune. At the beginning, it sounds a bit like "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds.

[danielmills3]

now you mention it yes apart from the difference from guitar and harpsichord

[daliabalia]

crazy...so funny
