  • 70's we are in the wrong era:('

  • Yes, better than Woodstock. 

  • 4:41 I JUST HAD AN EYE-GASM

  • the greatest live performance I've ever seen... O.O

  • actually i was there and have spent the last ruddy 40 years trying to get my head back to as it was, still looking for my ears ! LOL

  • I'm seeing Daltrey perform Tommy tonight in Hartford. If his performance is even half as good as it is here I'll probably go into cardiac arrest.

  • @atgskater14

    Ill cya there buddy because im going too!

  • Comment removed

  • I wish i was John Entwistle......

  • pretty amazing!!!!!

  • Makes me cry almost everytime i listen to this, The Who are by MILES the greatest band EVER

  • has anyone ever come close to the who at there peak?dont think so!! godlike

  • is this 1970 or 1969?

  • @sashageyer95

    1970 my friend

  • Happy Anniversary!!

    April 22, 1969: The Who give their first complete live performance of "Tommy" at a show in Dolton, England. ☺

  • @StLouisEarl

    That is awesome! The world was never the same after that.

  • No rock band ever symbolized the bombast, the power, and the triumphant majesty of rock better than The Who.

  • very epic, especially at night.

  • This is even better that woodstock.

    You can't get more energy and emotions from 3 instruments and one singer. This sounds like an apocalipse.

  • their f*ucked up here...for sure....this song sounds not so good as at Woodstock!> Keith Moon strange drumming!!!! :D but this is cool stuff!!

  • @9540525 His drumming sounds weird cause hes using a single bass drum rather than his normal double bass

  • @dirtbikerdak1 Scratch that, i didnt see the other bass drum,haha

  • my brain just got melted by the awesomeness of this.... GODS!!!!! ALL GLORY TO THE WHO!!!!!!!!

  • It's hard to even listen to the studio version of Tommy when you have either The Who's Woodstock performance or their Isle of Wight performance.

  • im 14 and i know this is the best song ever

  • People who talk about Pete, Roger, and Keith forget about John. He wrote and sang maybe the Who's most underrated song, "My Wife".

  • @TheAntihero6212 He also wrote Boris the Spider, The Quiet One, and without his thunderous basslines the who would be nothing

  • "I'm still the only Keith Moon-type drummer in the world"

    -Moon shortly before his death in 1978.

    RIP Moony.

  • @TheAntihero6212 it was " im having a bad day but i am still the BEST FUCKING keith moon type DRUMMER IN THE WORLD"

  • OUTSTANDING!

  • Definitely one of my favourites of the Who.

  • Roger has so much emotion in his voice... like listening to the studio version is ok and stuff

    but you listen to it live... and it touches me so much....

  • 3 musicians and one singer, it is absolutely incredible what they are doing her. I do not think there is one band out there that has the shear talent that each member of The Who poses, and there are some pretty damn good bands out there.

  • It´s BRUTAL how Keith Moon played!!! Just no fear at all. That´s what I love about rock! Fantastic!

  • HOLY FUCK!!!!!

  • this could never get old- rock and roll forever

  • if you can find it get the latest double DVD that has the 1969 TOMMY performance in the London Theatres and the 1977 Kilarny Live - look for the interviews with Pete in the bonus sections

  • Correct - Woodstock cant compete - nothing did. Just a majical moment. This is a 3.25 song on the album.... it takes twice that long. Cant find it now, but Pete stated later " well we just kept looking at each other, and we just increased the pace slowly but surely, Roger wasnt going to stop singing and - well you cant stop John or Moon, so I kept goiong with them...."

  • simply glorious...

  • The Who represent everything I love about music. Beautiful songs, massive balls, not being afraid to take chances or making mistakes, and teetering right on the edge..

  • @eronstroud sono pienamente d'accordo con te e ci aggiungerei anche grandi testi significativi. ciao

  • Roger absolutely destroys his performance at Woodstock here.

  • @knuckle9

    i think that the woodstock version of this song is the best thing i've ever heard, it's much more pure, raw... i can't even describe the feeling i get when watching the woodstock performance

    it works better for me

  • @sharku22 I agree, the bass is so much more...consuming

    

  • I think they were disappointed with their set at woodstock, and were determined to make up for it at the IOW.

  • Absolutely fantastic!

  • Literally brings me to tears

  • is this the white light concert?

    wither way i totally agree. this is my favorite live song of all time.. talk about rock n roll and a time of peace- wish i was there

  • @johnwaynepresley yes - the white light siliout - was like the best things in all of life, never planned, spontaneous and NEVER REPEATED..  i still cant believe the sound quality - from whoever produced it... remixed... whatever

  • @guijam94

    I completely agree. I saw it a few years ago on VH1 and it was magical; it left me speechless. No other live performance can beat it. It was AWSOME. The Who is hands down the best live band I have ever heard. I don't know how they did it, but they did.

    <I clicked on your profie and saw your comment on American Trilogy- Elvis(that's one of my top favorite songs from him); you're an Elvis fan, too!

  • @guijam94 sorry dont make me feel like an idiot but what the white light slilout or silhouette however you spell it?

  • LOOOOVVE THE WHO !!!

    One of my faves of all time !!!

  • fucking awesome , let it rock !

    my bro was @ this & said it was the best performance he ever saw !!!!!!

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEITH MOON!!!!

  • The greatest song Pete Townsend wrote!
