The Who - Heaven & Hell (live 1970 - USA)

[superlou1s]

RAW POWER.

[slimshadyrealrealrea]

Why can't we have eternal life? And never die

Never die

[shredmaster100]

why cant pete townshend play like this today he sucks and should never have switched to fender because its the same for clapton his tone went bad after the 60,s only certain people are meant to play fenders like srv hendrix blackmore buddy guy yngwie malmsteen they r more individual than gibson players

[julsluke]

black sabbath?

[RogellParadox]

@julsluke the Who

[CueBaLLonE1]

Why the hell do people compare this song to Black Sabbath's Heaven and Hell.. They aren't even the same song, they are completely different.. I don't know how u can even compare The Who to Black Sabbath in the first place!

[AeolianSeventh]

Look at Pete Townsend stepping back, stepping forward, over and over again.

"Man, the crowd is so far away. I need that energy, that amazing fan feedback! I should go closer to them." Steps forward.

"My God, that's a lot of people.  Some of them look pretty rough...I don't want to get too close." Steps back.

"Wait, I'm too far away again." Steps forward.

"What's happening?!" Steps back.

"Aah! Step forward! No! Step back! WHY DO YOU TORTURE ME?!"

[townshendsmash]

john's outfit wins every award



[batosai370]

2 people have been bad boys apparently.

[zappafrank1970]

the ox keeping it real

[zappahart]

anything by the who in this time is the best no matter what i heard they were almost broke until this tommy tour

[zbgb68]

Hello Ox, Keith and Bill Graham....Eternal life and never die....

[gnar420]

damn, the who is the best, a fucking indestructible ball of energy! Every time I play the who, my stereo turns itself up to 10!!!

[stewgotz1]

WHY ISN'T THIS SHOW OUT ON DVD YET !??? AMAZING !!!

[BritIronRebel]

@stewgotz1

Because the video goes sour about 1/2 way through the concert.

[2085spartan]

@BritIronRebel

What other songs are on it before it goes out?

[BritIronRebel]

@2085spartan:

The entire concert is available on video, it's just the the quality drops very badly at around the half way point.

You can see all the concert/songs from this concert on YouTube @ bigconnerguy's channel.

[eevalko]

@BritIronRebel

Or listener goes sour if not very ready for this kind of music :)

[bwc3821]

I'd give my middle nut to go back in time and see them live. Damn baby boomers got everything, man....

[videostan]

The boys were on this one....I just admired the last 3 seconds. They.....all.....stopped. Live? Terrific. Pete's legs did a little windmill...and.... stopped. I look at this and at the Isle of Wight '77 show and see why Pete was despondent.

[Pukeman44]

is this show on dvd ? it should be....long time coming !!!

[ahoudori001]

please more spot light for bassist! this song made by him.

[ox092]

ah love johns Frankenstein bass.

[kazi101]

Townshend sure gets some gnarly fuzz tones

[Rocky54167]

I have the full bootleg of this, i take it this was off the original 30 Years Maximum R&B? either way this was a sick concert its to bad that the who, and the opening band Tull(Which i also have the bootleg of) don't remaster this show i mean they both had a GREAT PREFORMANCE That night.

[Motoicon]

I actually think that modern rock is better than 60's-70's rock by a wide margin. But....The Who are the exception and still more sophisticated and better. Yes, Keith Moon is the most talented drummer in history, Pete Townshend the best writer and the very best live song EVER ......is Magic Bus on Live at leeds.....Thanks for posting this rare vid.....

[AZEIDJSKSQMM]

@Motoicon The rock is a VERY BIG SHIT from the late 70s, with groups of NWOBHM, the disappearance of groups rooted blues and progressive dinosaurs do not exist ... The only good point is the emergence of some good groups of new wave and punk (I do not mean the Pistols, of course LOL)

Period 80 'is the worst rock (at least for me rock and metal are different), appearance of sub genres of metal ...

But groups of the same movement as Led Zeppelin and Who do not exist ...

[chippy783]

Man, Pete far outclasses the guitarists of thd Beatles, Stones. and even the Kinks. Not like I'm worthy to even carry thei luggage. Shout out to Steve Marriott

[gta4rulzu]

at 3 and a half minutes in keiths right pedal fucks up :P

but this was good as hell :)

[MWL4466]

Gibson SG through a Hiwatt amp! Still gives me goose-bump's!! Especially in Pete's hand's!! I have a copy of this on VHS titled Maximum R&B, which I bought in the late 90's, but recently purchased it again on DVD and this song and a few other thing's were not on it!?!? What the hell guy's? These are fucking classic performances!!!  Ya, John's a little flat at time's, but so what! It's great stuff!!!!!

[BritIronRebel]

@Composer19691

And while you're a complete nobody that no one ever heard of, The Who are in the Rock Hall of Fame.

Pffft!

[LearnerChess]

@BritIronRebel Composer19691 must be given some slack, I suppose. The sound quality on this is a bit muffled. One would have to have heard "Live at Leeds" to appreciate the quality of the band's performance. Indeed, I do hope they clean these tapes up asap, 'cause they need - and deserve - it. (And those tapes are further deteriorating ever so slightly day by day.)

[nocturnus65]

@Composer19691 off-key? You're talking about one of the greatest rock singers ever seen on Earth, a living legend who's around still now in his sixties and whose voice still today is incredible for strength and vocal extension. Nothing to do with yr shit Lady Gaga and so on who have no voice and will never have till they live.

[Canaveral305]

@nocturnus65 Exept that Roger Daltrey DOESN'T sing this song. It's John Entwistle singing. But still, I agree that he's not too much out of key, considering this is a live show.

[whorumessinwith]

@nocturnus65 Actually this is John Entwistle singing he died in 2002.

[nocturnus65]

@whorumessinwith I wouldn't say. His voice sounds a lot like Roger's. Anyway, watching the clip better, I must admit you're right. Roger only sings backing vocals.

[sebassucc]

@Composer19691 Not that bad for a live show...

[Gammu]

@Composer19691: Doesn't open with their best vocal performance, and Entwistle is merely a good vocalist in band with a great one (Townshend), and one of the greatest (Daltrey). That said, The Who usually sounded remarkably like they do on their studio albums. Most bands, even some big names, didn't sound very good even when when they added musicians for the tour.

[5556665012008]

@Composer19691 its in key man, you must be tone deaf!

[embeleshow]

Happy Birthday, Ox. Thank you for gracing this planet with your presence

[ffefp]

If you wanna see someone grab a new stick fast check out at 2:52 A stick goes flying and Moon doesn't miss a beat. Amazing!

[ZeppFloydSabbath]

Now this is disappointing... I was expecting the who covering black sabbaths heaven and hell... Even though this couldn't be cuz it's 1970- not 1980 ;)

[Brannich15]

That's a crime - not mentioning John at all. So what if he didn't run around, swing his microphone and windmill his guitar? You gotta credit the bass player too!

[eaglerus1]

I love this tune and they in no doubt rocked the hell out of this performance.

[mlmr11]

This is just god damn delicious!!

[stephenmyers99]

Johns pants? Spectacular troos.

[michaelp5590]

like sabbath*

[michaelp5590]

man... how can you say this is bad, and compare it to a band live sabbath... these guys are putting all the energy and sound into a song they have and they're tight... tighter than you so ease up!

[BritIronRebel]

@Corleonetone: But not nearly as stupid and ridiculous as the comment you made.

[ToddSweeneyOnce]

@BritIronRebel I'll take this any day over Sabbath!

[alec12]

yeah man you just made yourself look like a big idiot

the who were way bigger than black sabbath and dio

[evilnewwargod]

@alec12 Who cares if they were bigger? Popularity does not always equal quality. Both Sabbath and The Who are two of the greatest bands I've ever heard and people are usually right to praise them. That dudes comment however was stupid, I'm sure we can all agree on this.

[The12Child]

@Corleonetone You should compared my generation to hevean and helll

[stockliskirep]

@Corleonetone ....Have you seen either band LIVE in the 70's I would say NO ! There is no comparison while both bands were popular but the WHO were in a League of there own,...Sabbath couldnt even quilify to be roadies for the WHO !

[RayManzarekGod]

@Corleonetone Nothing can come close to The Who.

[actron]

Oh really? I thought just the opposite.

[PageandPlant4Life]

@Corleonetone Black Sabbath sucks. Tommy Iommi really lost the tips of his fingers when he stuck them up his boyfriends ass, and the dude squeezed and twisted. It broke them right off.

[akoppen]

@Corleonetone whahaha, you is funny guy! with good sense of humour and no sense of good music

[dareangel69]

@Corleonetone really I can't understand how one can compare two completely different kind of songs & music...leave it or love it

[mikuz007]

@Corleonetone black sabbath has no melody it has no rhythm it has no energy it is booring. this song is simple but complicated and thats what makes it so good

[DElasee]

What guitar is Pete using???

[THEKINKS08]

@DElasee

it's the Gibson SG Special

[DElasee]

@THEKINKS08

thankyouthankyouiloveyou!!

[THEKINKS08]

@DElasee

Wow!! you can ask me everything now..Please to meet you, i'm Cesare from Italy.

[meals7]

this is the same band except for the legendary keith moon!!

[BritIronRebel]

...and John Entwistle (The Ox)

[sharku22]

@BritIronRebel

indeed! how could he forget John ??

[weef67]

Keith.

[pptthik]

Pikkusen hyvä, jätkät!

[fluffyusa]

a great opener song, then followed by i can't explain. saw these guy's once on the 25th reunion tour in Philly. the Greatest Rock Concert til this day that i ever saw. this video is found off the 30 years of Maximun R and B.

[ifutureman]

WOW!  Thank you so much for posting this! The Who at their ferocious finest.

[servetakid]

the who really needed,"moon cam" and more "ox cam", it would be great to see more of the two most talented players ever

[BritIronRebel]

Excellent comment! Yes, it's too bad that the front men usually do get the most camera time while ignoring the awesomeness that was Ox & Moon.

[servetakid]

thanks, i just think it would be so much better if the camera time was more equal, when kieth does a drum roll, camera focuses on him and when john does a fill focuses on him, you get the idea

[camerooniepooniepoo]

this is live at leeds?!

[BritIronRebel]

No???? The title says (live 1970 - USA). The details say: "The Who performing 'Heaven and Hell' live July 7th, 1970 - Tanglewood Music Shed , Massachusetts, USA ". And the beginning of the video says: "Tanglewood Music Shed, Massachusetts"

[beelzabubba]

Indeed, Moon is an animal here. He doesn't play a straight beat throughout the whole song.... just jams it ahead with fills and crashes... that's rock and roll, babies!!!

[panzertex]

Outfuckingstanding! Heil Moon!

[mkerwin1]

The Oo's finest moment!

[Lesterdevin]

i say townshend had it together that night damn

[tigerarmyrule]

Straight into it. The greatest rock band anyone will ever see.

[Borat980mis]

wow moonie was really on his game that night!!!

[wildliongirl]

I'll say!

[BritIronRebel]

"wow moonie was really on his game that night!!! "

In an interview Pete said that this concert was one of their best if not their very best performance-wise. He alluded to Keith being at his very best that night.

[alec12]

Keith Moon - best drummer i would say has ever lived

there are a lot of other talented drummers out there..but if you play drums you will know like me...he is just fucking crazy

[braino2000]

@alec12

Oh all of us fellow drummers know that!! His style is simply impossible to duplicate. Technically skilled? Not so much as incredibly original. Humanity will never, EVER produce another talent like Moonie.

[DougRoxxx]

OMFG - I was at this show - In The 9th Phukkin' Row, slightly right center (Stage Left), directly in front of P.T. and his HIWATT wall of terror - Awesome show! "Live at Leeds" had just been released, and Jethro Tull was the opening act - The "Benefit" album tour for them. This was the last real Rock Concert ever held at Tanglewood - They didn't expect and couldn't handle 30,000 plus people, most without tickets and so pkukkin' high they were looking down at the sky - A memorable event it was!!!

[beelzabubba]

I always figured it was something like an overcrowding issue to cause Tanglewood to become an orchestra pit and never have rock bands again.... actually I found it hard to believe they ever had rock bands when I found this, and I'm from MA. Moonie must be to blame somehow....... bless his soul. What a fucking band.... The Who..... at the hieght of their powers right here... I have to watch this again. Ok, thanks for listening....

[BritIronRebel]

In addition to The Who, Jethro Tull, and (the original line-up) Chicago were also on the bill.

You can find a few videos of them also here on YouTube @ the same venue.

PS: That's when Chicago were a rovk band and weren't so pop-oriented.

[Hammerofthegods86]

The who had the most intense and moving rhythm section ever.

[kungpoofdoofdoof]

rogers voice sorta dies out around 1:23

[fucktheutubeusername]

wouah best solo ever,the sound is awesome they are awesome,the bass line is genius ouahou i like it

[kc768]

that was Pete at his prime.

[braino2000]

This is effing ridiculous!! They didn't even mention John!! That man never got the fucking credit he deserved... Absolutely heartbreaking I'd say.

[Johnny6666]

He's mentioned right at the start of the clip!

[yrrebhsuk]

yeah they said his name first

[MasterShower13th]

Agree u_u

[gunsanddrugs]

hey, didnt jethro tull back them here?

[Canaveral305]

Funny, he didn't say "Vocals" for John Entwistle, while he's the one who sings lead vocals this song xD

[fortunateson08890]

If there's one classic drummer possibly better than John Bonham, it's Keith Moon.

[raymacdonnell]

that is the best solo of all time

and i am irish so i know

[filippone55157]

Pete's solos are usually better live than what he does on the album.

2:52 - Keith loses a drumstick!

[kungpoofdoofdoof]

he did it on purpose, he grabbed a stick right before

[Veggieman87]

AT LAST, a full video version of one of the hardest-rocking songs ever!

[skutter2001]

the movie I saw in 1979!!

[skutter2001]

then i saw the who in 82.. mind you I saw the kids are alright in a movie theater where you could drink beer and smoke pot and i was hooked after that movie ..long live rock!!

[skutter2001]

That was in 1983 as I was 17 year old working as a mall maintenance guy on the weekends lol lol with the head phones on!!

[skutter2001]

All I have to say is how in the hell did we ever manage without youtube before youtube came along!!??I remember cranking this tune off the rarities lp on my sony cassette walkman!!

[Frizzlebee1981]

Who would of thought that the who would go to a small ass place like tanglewood in lenox mass. I deliver spring water there.

[mullinator7]

i live so close to there

[li4m]

One of their best songs

[foamybutter]

This has to be one of the most underrated who tracks. It rocks so HARD.

[mecetnoca]

true rock n roll band

[buskerdude69]

man they opened at the isle of wieght with this song and keith just literally exploaded into it check it out Isle of Wight 1970

[bluu999]

Their best most unrealeased song of all time. Turn it up immediately! Right Now!! Crank it up!!! Now!!!!

[THECLASH1994]

You fail!

This is girls eyes or something.

Can't remember-

I will say it to you wen I remember.

[BritIronRebel]

That's funny...I wonder why this song is titled Heaven and Hell on the 1995 Remastered CD version of Live at Leeds then?:

The digitally remastered Live at Leeds CD, released in 1995, had the original tracks, which were expanded, and many new ones:

Track 1. "Heaven and Hell" (John Entwistle) 4:50

[Emyrsaurus]

no, this is heaven and hell. best stick to the clash dude

[BritIronRebel]

Yeah....if this isn't Heaven & Hell then all the people who have different versions of it on YouTube are also all wrong.

Sheesh????

[THECLASH1994]

I have the orgianal and It is not Heaven And Hell!

I have lisned to The Who really much!

"Betther stick to the clash"

Don't judge by my username, some other retarded people do that!

I love The Clash yes. But I am more a Metal/Prog guy!

I am not a punk rocker!

-WillyTheHurricane

[BritIronRebel]

Dude, he said that because you keep arguing when the entire world knows you are dead wrong.

This song has ALWAYS been called "Heaven and Hell"...P-E-R-I-O-D.

You can't have any "original" of this song named anything else.

[THECLASH1994]

And this is Heaven And Hell?

No thats a THE WHO song made in 1970, don't remember the name!

[BritIronRebel]

The name of the song is Heaven and Hell written and sung by John Entwistle originally released in 1970 as the "B" side to "Summertime Blues"

[RayNDeere]

If I remember, the Who would occasionally alternate 'Heaven and Hell' and 'Can't Explain' as the opening song because 'Heaven and Hell' allowed Pete to get really warmed up.

[BritIronRebel]

You are 100% correct.

[warmadscot]

Moon is nuts on this!

[macaroni8cheese]

hmmm lets see what compares to the who?

certainly no other rock group

oh i know -Krakatoa!

[peacelovemusic224]

the who is ausome! my dad and i are into rock and roll, and 60s-80s music! im a sixties baby on the inside!

[screamineagles92]

same here... talkin bout my generation... im just in the wrong generation... lol, we should be petes and rogers age right now.

[peacelovemusic224]

your totally right

[AutographSale]

Legends.

[MattHatter]

It's so amazing to realize just how far rock had come in one decade! 1964-1970 was just a friggin' tornado, avalanche, snowball, whatever you want to call it of immense talent pushing the boundaries further and further with every year that passed and every album that succeeded each band's previous effort! What a time to have lived and witnessed all that! To bring those records home and have your mind blown repeatedly.

[fujicity]

いいもん見せてもろうてありがとさん

[woodoven]

i really love how townshend pretty much just relies on those really overdriven HiWatts, and uses the volume/tone knobs of his guitar to affect his sound, and uses a fuzz pedal when he needs to really lose it. Very simple set up but totally effective.

[thaibites]

Good for saving a bit of energy, too. If you watch closely, Keith hits the drums/cymbals 35 times for every Pete stroke of the guitar.

No matter what, it all adds up to the ballsiest, biggest sound in rock history!

LONG LIVE ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!

[BritIronRebel]

Actually, it's 38 times....but who's counting LOL!

[AndyCorn90]

watching this makes me wonder why people seem to think John Bonham form Led Zeppelin is better than keith Moon? Hes not a patch on keith

[therealQueenrhiannon]

No kidding - I am sick of people trying to compare the two - Keith was and always will be the greatest rock drummer that ever lived.  Others were good in their own right, but Keith was alone in his field.

[thaibites]

I agree. I love Keith's manic bashing on the drums. It totally augments and complements what John and Pete are doing.

[JeroenK]

My favourite single filmed song performance ever, and in great quality too! Thanks for uploading this!

[slipkid78]

I love this song,

and I just love when entwistle sings!

[TheWholigans]

Oh yes.... -that's- THE WHO !!!! :)

[sixtieschick5]

this is great, thanks for posting!!

[Cissy2cute]

Do I ever agree! Why not release this on DVD? I have the Isle of Wight performance and this one tops it. Excellent guitar work and of course Keith's crazy drumming.

[alanr5682]

one of the great who concerts that should be released to the masses to enjoy! instead of wasting away!

[BritIronRebel]

Pete said that this concert was their best and certainly better than they were at Isle of Wight where Keith was pretty loaded.

[THEKINKS08]

totally agree, best concert along with live at leeds
