@davidabinns Hey but there are still kids nowadays that listen to great music. ._. I mean, why even bring him up? There's just no point. Yeah, he sucks, let's build a bridge and get over it.
This song has such an incredible power. That is what The Who means to me, youth and power. Just listen to "Magic Bus". It's such a great song, but it's also one big build-up. It gathers all the energy around it but doesn't waste it, so when the next song comes, you are ready to jump around, bang your head, scream euphorically and break shit
must be real hard to play such complex songs to a track when drunk..so sad the best who album has the worst/ least recordings live, thanks for finding and putting this one up
im a Zeppelin man, but The Who is right there with them, man they are just kicking all kinds of ass with this song, and all the others i have heard of them, fan fuckin tastic !!!
yeah chills, goose bumps this songs causes this and more. I get so emotional listening to these kind of songs. thats when i can tell its really a good song when it hits you hard in the heart and soul. excuse me while I dry my tears......
I by NO means want to come off self-righteous about the dilemma of anyone's addiction - certainly, it's an 800-lb gorilla on one's shoulder. And I say that as one who as a young man "experimented" with a few substances myself. So I totally get why one might "try" drugs. But I guess I just hate to see someone so extraordinarily talented, who has brought so many such joy through his music, throw it all away so pointlessly - that and the fact that he should have had the courage to seek help.
i've gone on a few 'the who' videos cos im interested and you've got loads of morons going on about how all music today is crap which isnt true! if you judge that opinion on what most people listen to then you might see it's a bit rubbish, but then that's the same as every era in music. The 60's and seventies were prolific times but we can only see what is brilliant twenty thirty years on!?!
I can't believe what an incredible song this is. Townshend is absolutely a genius. AMazing metaphor, filled out perfectly lyrically, not ot mention the beauty of the music.
Just astonishing. A very high bar to match for sure.
@EFunkRock :I would agree with you ten years or more ago...as much as I adore his back catalogue,he's ruining it with shitty albums and songs these last..what is it..15 yrs or so?..And he's only in it for himself,aparently..
@MrTrajan69 Not to dis McCartney, but he wasn't exactly a fantastic showman or producer... He was/is pretty boring live (compared to these guys at least), and Paul doesn't produce... Plus his lyrics got so marijuana-infested that that went downhill... At best he was a pretty decent singer and a pretty good bassist...
Can't think of any other rock band so immensely talented at every key position. And even though Townsend was never exactly a guitar genius, he nonetheless was brilliant at how he musically, melodically, texturally, sonically, and theatrically incorporated it. Also is a wonderful composer/lyricist. Daltrey: a voice with the range, timbre and power of the gods. Entwistle: lead bass extraordinaire, phenomenal improviser. Moonie: A wildly manic, cymbal-crashing genius - the rocket driving the band!
Yeah - greatest rock bassist EVER. And where is he - DEAD! For all his amazing talent, I can't for the life of me understand why someone who survived Woodstock and the '60s drug culture, could nonetheless still manage to die of drug abuse all the way into the 2000s. How stupid, how tragic, and how totally unnecessary! Still, I'm grateful for the brilliant tracks he left behind. But just like all addicts, John first started getting high and thinking he could handle it. Guess not.
@philipatoz :you ever wondered WHY he did all those drugs?..You may say he's stupid,he might have thought different,right?..You ever thought about the ones who like to live fast and take the risk of dying maybe for reasons you will never understand?..Just a thought ;)
It really doesn't matter WHY Entwistle continued to do drugs, as the end result would still be that they helped kill him. And when you think how selfish and narcissistic one is to put their family through drug addiction and to subsequently cause them to suffer through the emotional agony of losing a father, son or brother, well, it's just very sad and unnecessary. The only difference between John and addicts on the street is that John could afford to live comfortably while indulging his demons.
@philipatoz :and so he did..Ever wondered WHY someone ever started to do drugs?..Selfish in your view maybe,to some there'just no other way,believe it or not..And no,I don't think most drug users are proud of the things they put their family through..ask 'em ;)
reminds me a bit of suicide victims:you may think it's selfish,you can also say that there's just no sollution for some.
Don't you have Won't Be Fooled Again from the very same concert ? I'm struggling to find Moon falling on his drums. Actually I can't believe it as long as I don't see it, regarding how he's still following the rhythm in this one (although the sound quality is not great enough to figure it out very well) !
Roger Daltrey is the greatest frontman in rock. He is also one of the greatest singers in rock and one of the few frontmen who acts like a man. The Who is the greatest live band.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
roger has certainly got a great voice but there is no way he has a more powerful voice than robert plant. and i am a much larger who fan than a led zep fan
yeah, plant stole rogers hair cut. Roger wears it much fucking better then that stupid screeching peice of shit. Roger lays down those monster yells, and plant just screams the whole entire concert/album. It gets annoying. Grow a ball sack plant.
OH and to TheLibertine1991, your wrong. Roger has a much more powerful, stronger voice then Plant, any day. Plant is a big fat peice of shit now and Roger is still fucking owning shit like you woudlnt believe. If you prefer screaming, screeching hippies then w/e yur opinion but ur wrong bud. Roger > Plant
In their primes, Roger had a voice tremendously more powerful than Plant's pathetic, high-pitched screechings. Roger had just an astonishing range and could hit those highs with power that just seemed endless. But now? I don't think so. I've heard YouTube videos of this tune in which he was just a shadow of the voice he once was. Likely way too many years competing with a guitar and bass cranked to 120 decibels. Lad is lucky to even hear, much less sing!
@philipatoz Wouldn't say Plant's vocal nuances were pathetic,..or most rock singers over the past 40 years wouldn't have tried to emulate him. Plant and Daltrey are legends as are Jones and Entwhistle, Moon and Bonham, Townsend and Page. It isn't a competition. It's great music for all of us to enjoy. Take the good in everything and everything good will follow
OK, maybe using the word PATHETIC was a bit harsh, as I DO appreciate Robert on various LZ tunes. And you're right, its not a competition, but I do believe that we all make personal judgments about the level of quality of various performances and performers. My observation is simply that Robert never had the power or range that Roger once did. It's just my opinion, but I feel that Plant tried to push his voice into ranges he really couldn't do justice, as he didn't have the pipes to do it.
@philipatoz Fair enough,...and as time went on Plant's voice did change, for better or worse is up for debate. Plant says in interviews his voice was at its best around 1975, so who knows. But in listening to multitudes of bootlegs, I would say Plant had the best pipes around between 68-71, almost out of control power. But Daltrey and Plant are 2 different styles of singers. Maybe Gillan and Plant would be a better comparison. Either way it's all good.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Roger and Robert has one thing in common. They can`t carry a tune if you staple it to their hand :D HOWEVER, both has a stage presence and they both added what was necessary to the bands to make them work. I love them both, great artists.
@applesmurfen . But who else could have made it work so memorably to stand the test of time for generations to come and beyond !!! Could Janis Joplin sing Madam Butterfly to tune? But I'd bet it would be interesting... ;)
At 60+ years old I don't think Roger can handle the gut wrenching screams anymore and fulfill a full tour. However those gut wrenching screams is where the emotion in this song is.
He definitely can't. His voice is shot. One thing that drives me nuts about these bands is that they are sell outs. Why do they have to sing songs that are out of their vocal range? The Who do it and so do the Stones. They can play whatever they want and people will come see them. Daltrey and Jagger need to dig deep into the catalogs and pull out material that they can handle.
Great video! although it kinda sucks that this is the only clip of this song live that I can find with Keith on drums, since he's obviously not at his best. (as evidenced by Pete talking to him at the end, and the fact that he does a facedrum before the end of the next song :P)
In my mind, this is one of the greatest rock songs ever! First, melodically, it is absolutely beautiful as well as epically powerful. The strings, synth, dynamics, passionate delivery - all are simply awesome - no doubt Townsend at his compositional peak. Daltrey's vocals are so powerful and the register of his range are just amazing. I still get chills when I hear this through a great sound system, as this song is what great rock music is all about!
Roger Daltrey's vocals are simply amazing! John Entwistle isd an awesome bassist, Keith Moon unleashed Hell on his drums, and Pete Townshend is a brilliant guitarist! What a flawless band!
I'd consider John Enstwille, John Paul Jones of Zeppelin and John Deacon and Phil Lynnott the three greatest bassists ever.
The three Johns all used the bass like a lead instrument, they could pick and slap and always gave their own distinctive groove to all of their bands songs.
dude you are bang on - these four guys are indee the greatest bass players ever.
I also dig Paul McCartney a great deal - often under rated but if you listen to how the bass shaped the Beatles tracks (e.g. paperback writer) you see his genius at work). He was an all round musician rather than stricktly a bass player.
Lynot is amazing. John Decon, often forgotten but like McCartney, made a huge contribution to his bands 'sound'. As for Led Zep and Who, well, simply amazing bass players.
check out my songs... (if you do, I'm Coming For You Now and Don't Care At All are my best) though Summertime Breeze and some of the others are fine, just need to be rerecorded... tell me what you think... if your interrested that is.
@swampdonkey5150 Dude i wish i was born on '73, that year they released quadrophenia, dark side of the moon, brain salad surgery, Thick as brick, Houses of the holy
I have never heard too many of The Who's but whatever I listen I like. I am a big fan of Pearl Jam and they did a really good cover(which is what I heard first) but I can see why an original is an original.
what about a cd and a dvd?! and it would also be nice of a nice live show from their who's next tour 71'. or what? I just got my hands on their amazing dvd "the who Kilburn 1977", really amazing to see how the band had changed from 1969 to 1977. also funny to see pete being so angry with the people around him. for example after "my wife", "i'm free" and "tommy's holiday camp", go boys!:)
would be cool if they made a dvd release of the 73' tour, perhaps not this show, but another one..would be so great to have for example an old classic version of love reign over me on dvd!!

I saw this live from the Who like 3 days ago. When they played this, it had the most energy and passion of any band I've ever seen(And I've seen the Stones, Aerosmith, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan, Chili Peppers and U2)
I Never Saw That Movie I Just Thought That Was The Name. And Pearl Jam Does A Pretty Good Version Of This Song. They Plated It On The Who Rock Honors On VH1
My dad saw the who in Quadrophenia 1973 aside from saying it was one of the best concerts he ever saw he said when they did this song it was the most powerful song he has ever seen live from any band. I'm so jealous he got to see the who with keith and john in there prime RIP
I wonder how sperm would react traveling up the fallopian tubes of a woman's on their to fertilization of the female egg while listening to Who's Quadrophenia & Who Are You for three days straight.
The same thing kinda goes for Pearl Jam, that's why Eddie Vetter tried covering this song, which I believe that he failed at, but I do give him credit.
I wonder how sperm would react traveling up the fallopian tubes of a woman's uterus on their way to fertilization of the female egg.
Eddie Vedder failed covering Love Reign O'er me ? I'd like to know why, because i'm listening and I can't figure how he failed. Personnaly, I love both version, but i'm still curious, and i'd like to know your opinion ...
hahaha. i like your comment. i reckon he'd be very eager to "blow" in his bit of life. Quadrophenia is reason enough and fair for living. listening to it over and over and over. cheers
I agree, I feel the song is short lived, unlike most Who songs, which is depressing, because this song has the most soul behind it, and having it be longer could only make it be that much more enjoyable.
...epic... btw...can everyone stop arguing over who is best and just enjoy the rock n roll?? its not about who is better...its about the music.....artists today...and guitarists today...dont seem to understand that... nowadays with rock n roll its all about who can play a faster guitar solo....nevermind the fact that it sounds terrible...
Further clarification: Keith passed out on the very next song. After Moon's failed attempt to rejoin the band, Pete infamously asked the crowd: "Can anybody play drums?" He then repeated the question more forcefully, adding "I mean somebody good." As a result, Scoot Halpin played with The Who for a few minutes of what must have been pure rock heaven.
what was the point of bringing up Scott for just a few minutes, if that was the case? i thought he ended up playing for a while to continue the show? how long & what tunes did he play? anyone know? on the u-tube it looked like some jam thing they did & that was all, but that does not make sense..
WOW!!! First time seeing this performed live by THE WHO from the actual 73 Quad tour. Keith did better than I would have expected. Awesome job by all in the band... It's performances like this that explain why THE WHO are still the worlds greatest live band...
Keith was extremely talented. I generally rate him #1 of all time, and view Peart as probably the best "technical" drummer. Please don't bring Bonham, Starr, or any other drummer into this debate. That's not my point. During this time, Keith was often quite inebriated on stage to the extent of passing out on occasion. It is common to remark on Moon's individual performance on live recordings as influenced by his level of intoxication.

I much prefer that end scream as opposed to the falsetto one he 's been doing the last 20 years.

At 60+ years old I don't think Roger can handle the gut wrenching screams anymore and fulfill a full tour. However those gut wrenching screams is where the emotion in this song is.
rsaathoff 2 years ago
He definitely can't. His voice is shot. One thing that drives me nuts about these bands is that they are sell outs. Why do they have to sing songs that are out of their vocal range? The Who do it and so do the Stones. They can play whatever they want and people will come see them. Daltrey and Jagger need to dig deep into the catalogs and pull out material that they can handle.

Great video! although it kinda sucks that this is the only clip of this song live that I can find with Keith on drums, since he's obviously not at his best. (as evidenced by Pete talking to him at the end, and the fact that he does a facedrum before the end of the next song :P)

In my mind, this is one of the greatest rock songs ever! First, melodically, it is absolutely beautiful as well as epically powerful. The strings, synth, dynamics, passionate delivery - all are simply awesome - no doubt Townsend at his compositional peak. Daltrey's vocals are so powerful and the register of his range are just amazing. I still get chills when I hear this through a great sound system, as this song is what great rock music is all about!

I'd consider John Enstwille, John Paul Jones of Zeppelin and John Deacon and Phil Lynnott the three greatest bassists ever.
The three Johns all used the bass like a lead instrument, they could pick and slap and always gave their own distinctive groove to all of their bands songs.
And we all know how good Phil Lynott was.
mfl1992 3 years ago 2

JRR951 3 years ago
dude you are bang on - these four guys are indee the greatest bass players ever.
I also dig Paul McCartney a great deal - often under rated but if you listen to how the bass shaped the Beatles tracks (e.g. paperback writer) you see his genius at work). He was an all round musician rather than stricktly a bass player.
Lynot is amazing. John Decon, often forgotten but like McCartney, made a huge contribution to his bands 'sound'. As for Led Zep and Who, well, simply amazing bass players.

Really, really good.

This is really great, if the audio and video were better I think this might have been one of the best performances of this song.

what about a cd and a dvd?! and it would also be nice of a nice live show from their who's next tour 71'. or what? I just got my hands on their amazing dvd "the who Kilburn 1977", really amazing to see how the band had changed from 1969 to 1977. also funny to see pete being so angry with the people around him. for example after "my wife", "i'm free" and "tommy's holiday camp", go boys!:)

would be cool if they made a dvd release of the 73' tour, perhaps not this show, but another one..would be so great to have for example an old classic version of love reign over me on dvd!!

The same thing kinda goes for Pearl Jam, that's why Eddie Vetter tried covering this song, which I believe that he failed at, but I do give him credit.

Further clarification: Keith passed out on the very next song. After Moon's failed attempt to rejoin the band, Pete infamously asked the crowd: "Can anybody play drums?" He then repeated the question more forcefully, adding "I mean somebody good." As a result, Scoot Halpin played with The Who for a few minutes of what must have been pure rock heaven.
rmyers79 3 years ago 2
what was the point of bringing up Scott for just a few minutes, if that was the case? i thought he ended up playing for a while to continue the show? how long & what tunes did he play? anyone know? on the u-tube it looked like some jam thing they did & that was all, but that does not make sense..

victor2775 3 years ago
Keith was extremely talented. I generally rate him #1 of all time, and view Peart as probably the best "technical" drummer. Please don't bring Bonham, Starr, or any other drummer into this debate. That's not my point. During this time, Keith was often quite inebriated on stage to the extent of passing out on occasion. It is common to remark on Moon's individual performance on live recordings as influenced by his level of intoxication.
