The Who fête de l'humanité 1972

[kevinindublin]

The original of this tape should be sourced and restored / reprinted etc. as it is a particularly good piece of footage from the period.

GEFILTER! Da EEW! What a great piece of music history...absolutley love it!

[BethelAbba]

Someone cued me into this --- at the 1:55 minute mark, Mylon LeFevre is the bearded / Mustachio'd / sun-glass wearing hippy. He was the opening act for the Who that year.... and later went on to be a pretty strong influence on CCM in the 1980's as "Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart". Too cool (& Thanks to Jerry Bryant & Chris Hauser for the heads up info)

0:48 John, could play his guitar either way- the Jimi Hendrix of bass

[Crezzi3000]

"Anytime, yah liiike!" - One Tooth Keith

[neshanovcica]

thank you so much for this video....THE WHO was and always will be the finest art-side of true revolutionary people and youth....when I saw that beautiful USSR thing on Daltrey's jacket, the heart just runs wilder....long live rock!!!

[danstortion]

[kevinindublin]

Fascinating clip .... those were the times!!!

[TheStillLover]

Michel T.... and I hitchhiked there... from south of France for this. It was Joan Baez I wanted to see...

[TheStillLover]

I hitch hiked to this festival from Montelimar in 1971 with my friend Michel. Just amazing.

[MlleSarah57]

cool ! en plus je les adores mes pti who !!! super britishs

[korgri]

I get a big kick out of Roger telling the interviewer that the 'political side' is 'bullshit'.

Would pay nearly anything to hear a modern musician say that....

[bushface1327]

At 1:12 .."and you come last" with a big smile on his face.

[tfmuch]

I saw Genesis at the same gig about 1978. Hope The Who had better PA. The crowd kept chanting 'Louder! Louder!' Really crap.

[ShadowOfADoubt9]

John is sooo amazing. :cheese:

[annee69leo]

1:20- 1:30 =)

Moonie looks like Entwistle's kid brother or something, really fun.

[fallenleaf25]

Sometimes Daltrey can have some surprisingly smart things to say and this is a example.

Townshend would probably get too caught up in explaining his thinking (although I would kill to have a peak of what weird things go through his mind).

[drummer78]

Daltrey had old school West London street smarts. I don't think the pompous French interviewer gets it.

[andrewwigglesworth]

She wasn't being pompous, she was bemused at the stuff that Daltrey was saying when he was about to go on stage at the Fête de l'humanité.

ie. a festival organised and supporting a Communist Party daily newspaper.

"people can do without politics, people can live very well without politics"

Sorry, but I think he was a twat.

[drummer78]

I know all about the festival. Daltrey gave her a Shepherds Bush no b.s. answer. She was trying to corner him in for a particular ideology and he was essentially saying he was a musician/performer first and foremost.

[Grare007]

too bad i had to go to school these days !

[einysjame]

Wow, that was great! Is there any more live footage of this concert? There has to be!!

[fasima]

Whole show apparently but we won't be seeing sadly..

[entopic]

[soutache]

You tell them Roger! Some of these morons (so called stars) today could learn for your timeless advise!

[snocman]
