  • Spine-tingling stuff! The Who rule and Zak Starkey is a gr8 drummer His godfather (Keith Moon) would be proud

    

  • This needs Entwistle's falsetto backing vocals.

  • Looks like Pete's away bowling after the show.

  • The Who is the greatest band ever!!

  • Been a while since I heard this. Class!!

  • I still get chills every time I hear this song.

  • The new corporate anthem "XeeMe".....

    Axel

    

  • Classic! so awesomeee!!

  • I saw The Who perform 4 times back in the 70's. It was amazing.....Transcending time and space.....Taking me to a higher place!

  • I tihnk this is the last show John ever played... But to rthat day, the ox is still strong. Keith i guess that night got a little lonlety

  • @coreyorama Nope,this show is sold on ebay as Johns last performance but it actually was in '99 AND was part of a scam - google the who vegas job internet scam

  • puts shivers down my back just superb "listening to you" georgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • tell me guyz, is pete so big or roger so small? or both? :D

  • @rohulda both :D

  • q calidad carajoooooooooooooo

  • Sadly this is nothing compared to their Woodstock appearance

  • Hear me feal me i want out

  • @bugger545 Haha it's ok

  • Un clásico de todos los tiempos y saber que Roger Daltrey estuvo en Cali con David Gilmour, jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • Simply the best!!

    They dont get there do. In this lame ass city.From a so called lame ass classic rock station. Q107 Toronto,Canada

  • roger's still pretty remarkable!

  • The song is great and within Tommy even better. A classic, not just a great rock tune.

  • There can be no other band in the history of the world as good as the Who.

  • watch?v=46CNp89_52Y

  • Scooter See me ,feel me is better,but i don´t kown that Scooter only covert this song for the who.

  • Nothing matches the performance at Woodstock!

  • @argos3003

    I agree!!!!!!

    

  • @bugger545 you mean roger,not robert

  • @bugger545  May the force be with him !!!!!

  • Best song on Tommy. Tommy was no where near as good as The Wall. The Who is a great band but Floyd is the greatest in my opinion not everyone will agree.

  • All hail the first and greatest rock band in the world!

  • Esse som é muito louco!!!!!!!! Os caras são demais!!!!

  • Come on...does it get any better? Brilliance.

  • Still the best!!!

  • un monument fabuleux !!!

  • brill song

  • Who gives a crap if their 'old'?? Age is just a number. They can still rock better and more sincerely than most young asscracks these days.

  • I think what made the Who great is that each of the musicians played however they want, regardless of how it sounded in "the mix." Listen to Entwistle popping those bass notes. It would sound out of place in any other band. Moon's drumming is another good example...

  • thanks deadzoner, i now like the who better than the stones!!!

  • compare this to the 1969 at woodstock version.

    pretty wow

  • I don't care if they are old.. They rock this song.. THE END

  • ricordi struggenti e grande fortuna ad avere avuto una gioventù con questa musica !

  • This is my favorite performance of this song.

  • Great song !

  • Brilliant anthem! The Who rule! But I agree with Canaveral: whatever happened to Entwistle's wondrous vocal participation? Smoking, you say?

  • una sola parola:

    GRANDE!!!

  • They are old but still awesome!

  • Questa è la mia canzone preferita

  • I really really really LOVE this song!!!!!!!

    What a jewell, I was only 3 when it came out, it will always be a part of my life! What a song!!!!!!

  • It's just not the same without John's high harmony... why didn't he sing ? :(

  • a lifetime of smoking

  • Sounds great

  • I think he still preforms very well... but after 2+ hours of rocking the house down... the mans voice is entitled to be slightly weak... I saw Roger last night in Denver and he was as great as the 1st time I saw him more than 30 years ago...He also looks amazing...

  • They Will Always Be Great! :)

  • he's like 65 but only looks 45

  • unlike the stones who look about 65 milloin years old

    "neard joke"

  • Comment removed

  • oh, yeah, fuck me!

    the who sounds great!

  • mmmmm yes i believe the who is the best band ever

  • OH YES

  • I think the life was taken out of the band when Moon passed away and then sucked dry when John departed. But still fantastic

  • God it's wonderful. Beautiful.

    Just pure awesome.

  • I love the who and this is one of my favourite songs but to be honest if you cant sing the song anymore then dont perform it live. There is no life in their performance, they dont look like they want to be on stage. Im comparing this to the woodstock version which is the greatest ever live performance by any band so my comments are a bit harsh.

  • For the present-day Who, I agree with you. I think they can't perform it well anymore, and I'm an absolute Who-freak. I think it should be abolished with the Tommy encore that has been in place since 2002 - while of course dropping a Tommy song or two somewhere in the set.

    However, I think this is a fine performance. Roger sounds great, and if there's a bit of fire lacking, it's Zak since this was possibly the first time he had even played See Me Feel Me live. Pete seems to be on fire to me.

  • This is the best two-man vocal performance of "Listening to You" I have ever heard. Especially compared to Woodstock.

  • funny you say that cause the Who regard Woodstock as the worst gig they ever played. And I've heard Roger sing this and he still has it 40 years after he first sang it

  • People age, They're obviously not going to have as much energy as they did 37 years ago .

  • I had to sing this today for an audition for the musical tommy at the river run

  • WAy to clean

  • ROCK ON DEWD!!

  • roger's still got it

  • The best version on youtube.... Thanks..

  • This version is to clean.

  • An a amazing song...The power of this song was driven home on the 89 tour ..From shea stadium.Roger is simply the best..

  • this performance is so lame compared to for example Woodstock.

  • well of couse that was 20 year before so there not so good and they have a diffrent drummer so that may account for it, and also even if roger was tone deaf and pete was missing a finger all the emotions in the room would make it seem like them in 1970's

  • I totally agree.

  • I heard that when this tune was being written Roger just totally blew everyone away with his opener and Pete got jealous and came up with the "listening to you" melody which in itself is actully a new tune.

    They should have continued the opening ballad and made the whole song around that, which in my opinion is pure genius talent.

  • i saw the who do tommy in 1971 or 1972 and they kicked ass and they still do. they are in the top 5 best bands of ALL time! rock on lads!

  • Sorry to break up the lauding of Daltrey's vocal performance here, but did anyone actually pay attention to performance?

    Here's a hint that Roger wasn't quite on the top of his game - Pete's microphone is LOUDER!

    Rog's voice was shit for the 1999 and 2000 shows. Since 2002 he's regained some of the power he lost, thankfully. At least enough to put this performance to shame.

  • i saw the musical about a month ago it was fuckin awesome breathless sure it wasnt the who but their essence was there in Tommy

  • I had the privilege of seeing them last night in Boston. Awesome show!!! =)

  • hey, me too! My friend and I actual snuck up to seats right next to the stage, and stayed there the entire show. But not before getting kicked out of a couple of other spots.

  • I was wondering if your friends were a couple of the ones who got kicked out of the seats next to me, but if you were born in '79, I doubt it. They were about 15 or so. I was on the floor in section G. I'll be going back there to see Metallica in January. Funny encountering someone on here who was at the same show!

  • actually, i wasnt born in 79, its just a random number. The seats we got kicked out of were close to the stage (if you were standing on the stage i would have been to the right). then we got kicked out of other seats that were pretty close to there. Then, finally, we remained in seats we snuck into that were almost directly opposite the ones we first snuck into. We got kicked out by this up-tight looking old guy.

  • You're lucky that you got to be so close, if only for a short amount of time! My seats were good. I was close enough to be able to see everyone's faces, but this woman in front of me was so tall and kept talking to the person with her the whole time, so they would lean in, lean out, etc. and I would have to change my stance and it was so aggravating. When they finally bumped heads, my friend and I died laughing to the point of tears. I'm tall for a woman, but this chick was f'n Sasquatch!

  • we saw them in october man

    f'n awesome!

  • dude i saw them 2 in october where did u see them

  • td banknorth garden it was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i know when they did tommy i got one the tamborines that roger broke

  • You were the guy( or girl) that got his tambourine?!!!!!

    Thats so cool dude

    man, I saw that and I was thinking wow, what a lucky s.o.b

  • ya i got it and it is now hanging up in my room next to my posters

  • I got the other one

  • I always thought this was two tunes but See Me piece is an absolute classic...if that was a long piece turned into a full 3:40 track it would extend the incredible vibe and feeling in the opening minute or so....

  • ke mostra esta cancion...

  • Dude Daltry sings with such passion, he really did take the character of Tommy to the next level

  • Sempre capaci di stupire... Soprattutto con questa canzone FANTASTICA!!! GRAZIE ROGER GRAZIE JOHN GRAZIE PETE GRAZIE ZAK e per ultimo ma non certo da ultimo GRAZIE MITICO KEITH!!!

  • . . . from you, I get the story" and it's BRILLIANT! Props Pete!

  • A classic. Probably the greatest song ever written.

  • fuck you. no seriously. do it.

  • WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL!!! The Who you are the best!!! Vi adoro!

  • Pete's really trying just to get back into playing electric again here. It had been some 23 years since he'd played the thing live in a five piece like that, after all.

    It's a bit erratic, but the spirit's there.

  • Gotta love Townshend's shirt.

    Such a flash old bugger. LMAO!

  • Are you kidding? It looks like a bowling shirt!! LOL!

    Now the striped shirts, scarves, and funny hats he wears these days...hooo! Those are FUN.

  • I think Pete called it his 'Country and Western Shirt'.

    Besides, bowling shirts were all the rage in the late 90s!

    I can't stand those damn hats he wears now. He looks like a chef. Not very Mod of him.

  • Maybe Pete is paying tribute to his inspirtaion of his windmill- watch the The Who live on the Smother's Brother's where Pete says bowling is the inspirtation behind the windmill. lol Either way love them!

  • The Who are still amazing...how many other bands are still going like this? Pete and Roger are on point as always, please don't say anything negative about the greatest band of all time. I love the Beatles, but if they were still playing in 2008, I doubt they would sound half as well as The Who, and I'm saying this as the Beatles are my fav band. They're in their 60's and rock out more than most 20 year olds! They are truly timeless!

  • Well said!

  • bahh, Pete's tone sucks now.....Fender strat is too thin sounding for this music.Oh well The Who still effing rock

  • totally true. i always prefered pete doing his windmills with either an sg or a les paul.

  • getting old really sucks...

  • Man the OX was great, they should have stopped after he died.

  • That's exactly the thing I said too. He died while they were on tour but Pete and Roger found another bassist and continued. Guess the show must go on huh? I thought it tasteless.

    Pete doesn't do many windmill whirlies on that guitar anymore. He almost impaled his hand on the whammy bar. Besides, rotator cuffs get old too.

  • amazing song, amazing and awesome group!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • pete looks older in this than he does now.

    how does he do it!

  • how is everyone sitting down at this concert?? where is it they should all be shot in the leg

  • Go Pete.

    By the way the simple reason John isn't singing here is because at his point, after 40+ years of smoking tobacco and God knows what else, his voice was shot to shit.

    What has hald up surprisingly well are Pete's vocals. He can be a blues wailer or a castrata.

    It's too bad as he used to be the most versatile vocalist in probably all of rock and roll. His range was incredible. The same guy doing to grunt on "Boris the Spider" was doing falsettos on "A Quick One". It's astounding.

  • That last paragraph was in regards to John, not Pete.

  • i hate to sound hippie-ish buh this is sweet mahhn =P. great song and lyrics.

  • i love the band but roger has elf ears!

  • Hee-hee! I never noticed Rog's ears.

    But they do fit in with the rest of his elfin packge of goodness.

    (OMG...what a creepy fangirl I've become LOL!)

  • ggreat song but Roger's voise dosen't seem a powperful as their old prformances of it.

  • well he has gotten older

  • agreed

  • gives me goosey-gogs

  • Out of all the great bands from back then I think Roger has the best voice now than any other lead singer from then.

  • Watching this just makes me miss John. :-(

    It reminds me how much of a musical prescense he had...I'm really glad that Roger and Pete are still going strong, but Pino needs to play LOUDER!

  • I KNOW!

    His amps are always too low.

    When you see them live, yeah? And they do My Generation, you have to strain to hear the bass SOLO. It's horrifying.

    Aside from that....Still the best show around!!

  • They rocked then, They rock now, And they WILL rock on and on o/

  • No one, and I mean no one, can beat The Who

    In this Video they are around 53-55 and they still Rock

    Long Live The Who!!

  • That 1st "See me" Roger does sounds almost like he's back in his twenties! Showed he still had some of it at this point!

  • :-).

  • I saw this tour (with Zach on drums) I love the Who, I wish I had been born in the sixties so I could have enjoyed this music that much longer. Sad to think by the time I have kids I won't be able to take them to see The Rolling Stones, Yes, and The Who. I'm not loving this video, they played it better at the concert I saw, great band though and great song.

  • What a lie. Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend don't have aids, their both in their 60's that's just for starters.

  • hah you guys are such losers i cant believe that really offended you

  • zach starskey(ringo starrs son) is a great drummer but i dont think he is worthy of playing with such a great rock band kieth moon was absolutly amazing!!

  • The trouble is, he is prob the best drummer around 2day so if he is 'not worthy' of playing for The Who, then where does it leave them?

  • Who is worthy then? Someone has to bash the drums! Nobody will ever replace a deceased musician from a band that grew up successfully together that is agreed. The band must move on re-invent and develop itself even if it still has to replay the original back catalogue. The fan should respect and honor that and not hurl cheap insult at replacement members.

  • I agree The Who in Marlay park was an amazing gig, they sounded alot better than they do in this video, i could not believe how good Roger Daltreys voice was he sounded exactly like he did in the sixties and so did pete, i actually thought this song sounded better in marlay park than the woodstock version, The Who still to this day put on one of the best live shows around with a great set list of classics and new material.

  • saw them last nite in marley park in dublin 20,000 people they were epic best gig ive seen this year daltrey and townsend were brilliant

  • watch them now in '07 they are better than here in some shows.(particularly the european shows since Rog didn't have bronchitis,unlike all the american tour)

  • They have not lost steam, they have not lost anything. They are the best rock group ever. Pete Townshed is a genious and Roger is the best singer. Love them!!!

  • they lost steam..

  • well 40+ years will do that to ya no matter who you are ;]

  • the woodstock version of this was better- it had more feeling

  • duh.

  • Let's see, ummm Woodstock was in 1969 right after this song was written. That was 37 years ago ok. Maybe their lack of energy has to do with the fact they are 57 instead of 20!

  • by far the best group i have ever seen perform live,english rock rules! go the who i love ya xx

  • Y dusnt Joh enwhistle sing

  • he isn't supposed to in this song

  • yeah, john entwhistle doesnt sing very much, or anything like that. but he is one of the best bass players.

  • when was this?

  • '99.

  • and on tommy

  • he never backed vocals for this song crazy lady

  • YES HE DOES in woodstock version

  • He always sang backup vocals on this song. And he sings it like he usually does.

  • pete isn't singing his backing vocals like he usually does.

  • I love this song, really really love, And this performance was great as well, But don't get me wrong...But no Keith, NO who... Really nobody can replace him. BUt still great:)

  • Zak is a worthy member.
