Blue Man Group - Baba O'Riley - Live

[justashitnugget]

Hey HUGE1113  she still sing's better then your mom any day!

[justashitnugget]

hay Huge she still sing's beeter then your mom!!!!

[huge1113]

I really liked it till she started singing. Had to turn it off immediately!

[mothergrace1]

great---gave great respect for the who

[Ba1k3n]

She may not be the best singer but at least give her some props all.

I mean would no vocals have been preferred?

I for one love this cover but to each their own I guess

[mothergrace1]

took at least 3 to cover keith moon too and at least 3 to cover john maybe the the best rock bassist of all time great cover ty

[Dodger0107]

Great

[justashitnugget]

my mom is still better then yours

[KravaLLT]

even I could sing better

[angelboss121]

i do not sympathize dislike trolls... >:O

[maxiyupo]

Three drums and Keith Moon still be better.

[0087McKay]

Why do they have a grand piano on its side beating it with a stick? Those things aren't cheap...

[markbethnickmatt]

how about three drumkits to get half the sound of what keith moon was capable of

[jasonkutchma]

I dont think it sounds that great, hiting the piano strings with a hammer. Come on.

[RagnaroekChaos]

@jasonkutchma ...you do not seem to know how a piano works.

[MapexMonster]

Amazing cover of one of the best rock anthems EVER. I actually like it better than the original. My favorite part is the keyboard player dancing and clapping completely out of rhythm around 1:30. I'm certain he is an amazingly talented player, or he wouldn't have that gig, but WOW, not even close!

[bbmre125]

This video rocks I love it!!!

[1willhughes]

JUST CLEVER AS SH-T AND BRILLIANTLY , SUBTLY, EXECUTED...SMOOTH

[snefan100]

Oh my god ! I am totaly in love in that girl tath sings and play the violin ! Michele Jonasson, Gothemburg, Sweden.

[prairienyx]

@snefan100 - Her name is Tracy Bonham, known for singing "Mother Mother" among other hits... check her out!  :-)

[MrStark3y]

@Becix97 Well for one thing they have different strumming styles the "nood" in the vid uses a pick and only upstrums so he couldn't possibly be as fast or smooth as John who used his index and middle fingers to upstrum with fast "gallops"

[Becix97]

@MrStark3y i was meaning noob not nood :) But we should remember that John was one of best bassist ever!

[Becix97]

HOLY SHIT THAT BASSIST IS AW... ful! John Entwistle is facepalming in the grave! Best Bassist in the world covered by a nood! Oh dear God! This cover would be more awesome if there was a good bassist!

[adamdxion34]

why the fuck is no one getting down to yhis just clapping what the fuck

[phoretunawallie]

@adamdxion34It's one of my pet peeves,I got some dirty looks at a Yes concert in Vegas,I finally went over the a lil nook and rocked out.

[adamdxion34]

fucking yes yes yes and i love the the who but this is is fucking o yes

[karaokechad]

That was awesome! If you've never seen Blue Man Group, you have to.see them live. BEST SHOW EVAR!

[craighful]

the chick is Tracey Bonham,shes way cool and she had some good songs on her own, that she wrote,shes pretty good on the violin too.

[Becix97]

HOLY SHIT THAT WAS EPIC! BEST COVER EVER!

[Hefenstahg]

I thought it was really good... the singing I mean

[BooMmaking]

damn there hands !! AWSOMEE !!

[nonodaenie]

a female voice is less agressive than a male...

the music becomes softest...



[dropeff]

Not that she is not a good singer... I just didnt like the way she sing it

I preffer the way Daltrey/ Townshend sings..... or even Eddie Vedder's version...

[nonodaenie]

she sings very well..

[TheMentalMinion]

The Chick is a really good singer .. cant see what all the fuss is about.. you haters are just jealous

[QuestyonMark]

I really have to wonder what the fuss about the singer is. She sounds fine to me...

[jrconlin]

As soon as the broad started singing I moved on.

[MrJambadharma]

i love this "Avatar band" .

[Babbaboooey]

I turn it off when she starts singing

[andrewdooley115]

Wow the girl can't sing for shit maybe Roger Daltrey do a tour with Blue Man Group to make up.

[VonTrousers]

@andrewdooley115 Tough, since Roger Daltrey can't sing anymore. He's absolutely awful. Poor old guy

[samucadz]

HOLY SHIT THAT GIRL SUCKS

[Lowgaen11]

The girl singing sucks and this song is more meant for a guy to sing

[varsityvballgirl6]

wow that chick is freaking awful...even by today's standards.

[Voice3D]

Doctor House!!!^^

[BooMmaking]

im watching this in 2011 :)

[hallithecrescent]

mein gott! heute  ist reformartionstag. es lebe martin luther und es lebe THE Who.......pete spielt die gitarre alleine und die blue men group brauchen eine ganze band gruß halli

[justashitnugget]

Thank you She has been playing for almost 45 years now,She might not be able to sing ,,,but she can play!!!!!

[yaknbo]

I "cook" for my meals? Was "fight" too anti-labour? WTF?

[mfighter96]

@yaknbo She was a woman, she had to change it.

[gtv2500]

sono senza parole!!! :D e' incredibileeeeee!

[Taubi81]

THE WHO!!! Great cover, looks and sounds great! Thanks Blue Man Group.

[bgisger]

Schlag den Raab...

[MrKirkenstein]

blueman was pretty cool - back around 1992.

then they went cirque-de-blueman.

[CaptainCrash1995]

pete townshend is so good that any cover of his songs require three guitarists. true story

[Becix97]

@CaptainCrash1995 don't forget that they used five drums because Keith Moon is awesome!

[EpicPacoChannel]

@Becix97 50 drums

[leigh8959]

@MetalGod4287 agreed... it started off so good too.



[ShinyMon321]

Wo cares if the singing kinda ruined the song? i thought it was really good with it, especially when she began playing the violin in EPICNESS MODE

[KATOMATE01]

the singer ruins it for me....wow now that I see the top comment I guess I don't have to say this, but I PROMISE I THOUGHT OF THIS BEFORE READING THAT! there shouldnt be any singing in blue man group....

[justashitnugget]

Thank you all !! and you all are right 1st amendment right????????????

[justashitnugget]

THATS MY MOM, AND THE ONLY REASON I STICK UP FOR HER,OTHER WISE SHE DOES SUCK,BUT STAY UP FOR 18 HOURS A DAY FOR 32 DAY'S AND SEE HOW YOU DO!!!!!!!!!

[Mileneum69]

@justashitnugget lmao, way to represent your mom....lmao. If you cared so much about her then you would not be here swearing and insulting everyone who has a negative comment. if it were my mom ide be loving and supporting and wouldnt give a rats ass what anyone thinks about her. I love my mom regardless of what anyone has to say. I would definately not be here in ALL RAGE CAPS. lol. Which leads me to my second comment, I dont even think youre related to this person in anyway.

[devryjosh]

@justashitnugget 18 hours a day, 32 days...and your mom is still a beast on the violin. 

[RustyCatalyst]

She totally says "I fucked for my meals."

[twosheds316]

@RustyCatalyst Yeah, like she'd really sing that in a show aimed at a family audience.

[twosheds316]

A question for the observant people. How can you tell this clip is from two different concerts?

[rangefinderrick1]

I like her vocal interpretation of the song. Great stuff.

[justashitnugget]

SHR DID BETTER THEN YOU YOU ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[vastspace91]

It would suck if they had a sinus cold.

[reddexred]

love the twist she gives the classic!! .....Blueman Group = Awesome

[bugsy6]

They definitely need a new singer

[Minuteofdecade]

Great song until the singer began

[currykev]

Not sold on her voice, but musically it's damn interesting and a great tribute to a classic song.

[justashitnugget]

SHE DOES A BETTER JOD THEN YOU CAM DO!

[VAB0L0]

@justashitnugget How the Hell can you know that? Perhaps she can hit the right notes, but even an tone-deaf teenaged guy can sing with more feeling than her. She just sounds like a generic female singer, unlike, say, Jane Slick or Ann Wilson.

[cowman602]

the chick singer kills it though...

[TheHighRoller473]

I have nothing but good shit to say about this

[john440t]

I think the point many of you miss is the fact that The Who had to digitize and overdub that unique line in the song and these guys manage it with percussion.

Tracy Bonham or no, this song ROCKS!

[TornNable]

Yah, it'd be great if it was The Who and Blue Man Group, the lady isn't making me feel it

[banoolee]

Teenage wasteland played how it should be!

[justashitnugget]

I WOULD RATER HER SING IT THEN YOU ,,,,YOUFUCKING FUCK

[mbphofan]

i saw blue man group at luxor in vegas iin 2003 when they were first starting out. What an incredible show. The way these guys captivate an audience is amazing. For some reason im just not feeling this rendition of baba o'riley. Im not taking anything away from these guy tho, their talent is through the roof and the show is electrifying, but no matter how hard i try, im not liking this cover. Maybe its cause i like the original soooo much. Either way, these guys are the shiite

[yuakigoto]

fuck that woman wanna-be

[mikeman9412]

I wish Roger jumped out there and started singing instead of the woman...

[justashitnugget]

If you watch the one from the regis and kelly show it was alot better but if you have been up for 3 days, it will NOT help you out

[horlur]

The woman had no energy at all, terrible, terrible.

[HolsingerLeVraie]

Surprenant!! j'aime! mais la chanteuse est mauvaise..

[justashitnugget]

It took 17 people to get the same song from THE WHO but still a great song

[MrSystane]

The chick is hands down the worst part of the song...

[1willhughes]

@MrSystane ...VERY TRUE, HOWEVER, I 'VE HEARD HER SING THIS ON A NOTHER LIVE CUT AND SHE SHINED

[shaneywoood]

thats one way to play a piano i guess........

[shaneywoood]

i hate my piano so i play it like that now!

[joe630426]

Un azul homenaje a unos grandes The Who la versión es buena y los chavos tocan con unas ganas que contagian

[rohdboy]

Sarah Silverman?

[FlamingCatTurd]

i want one of those pipe things!

[NeytiriAndJake]

I love this song!!! great video!!!

[MrUksgt]

YOU'RE ALL WASTED

[responder208]

To all those that think so negetively about the singer. How many of you are singers yourselves? If not then stop talking as if you know everything about singing. To capitolemiproducer- the music just isn't in time with the video. I have seen them in concert and they rock. And no I am not one of those people that were faked out. I am a musician and I can tell when something is pre-recorded or live. sounds like the only one faked out was you.

[CainamZiggy]

@responder208

You are an idiot. Just because someone doesn't have a good singing voice they are required to be impressed by someone else singing?

I don't design buildings, but I know a bad one when it falls over. This woman just falls over at singing.

[capitolemiproducer]

Attention All This is pre-recorded. Watch him carefully at the beginning. The music stats then he follows. Too bad all these people were faked out

[hootdoog10]

@capitolemiproducer eat a dick

[capitolemiproducer]

@hootdoog10 profanity is not the way to deal with the truth

[hootdoog10]

@capitolemiproducer sir im going to have to ask u to calm down

[BIGLOU48]

@capitolemiproducer I thought it looked like a Nilli Vanillli. You'r e right after rewinding a few times, the beginning is a fake

[Rockinghorserider1]

@capitolemiproducer Why mount this kind of production with all these people onstage, just to fake it?

[capitolemiproducer]

@Rockinghorserider1 Well Madonna-ELO-STYX all did it for the same reason money

[Rockinghorserider1]

@capitolemiproducer I don't know- to me it seems counter-productive. Long as you're up there, you might as well play for real.

[hootdoog10]

@capitolemiproducer seems like ur pissing everybody off with your hoax

[stereofreakdude]

@hootdoog10 Sorry CEMIP is riht, look at it carefully and the music starts before he starts. Just like ELO-STYX-Madonna- Nilli Vanilli and yes Jessica Simpson BUYERS BEWARE!!!

[hootdoog10]

@stereofreakdude kk

[capitolemiproducer]

This would be sooooo much better if Roger Daltrey did a guest appearance

[Evildead74]

great group but the singer sucks on this cover

[chucktaylorforever]

This was a pretty decent cover...still doesn't top The Who...

[ElZappata]

71 people are wasted

[baddoyle00]

1:06 is that a smile on his face?!?!?!?!?!?!? lol i didnt know that had emotions o_o

[joeperryfan13]

everything was awesome except the terrible singer

[stgz13]

theyd be alot better if they had a singer who could sing

[RPGprayer]

Too bad the singer sucks, otherwise it's awesome.

[miaphoto]

@RPGprayer Yeah, sure... tracy bonham sucks. Sure, what rock do you climb under every night?

[Proximitus]

If you can't play the piano, just hit the notes with a huge percussion mallet!

[tHexUnLeAsHxJoEl]

Even the maracas' dude rocks!

[Mr1969Hippie]

i love how everyone runs to get showered by their white string haha

[NibblerUA]

"The Complex" was such a fun show..

[tstlz10]

the energy on stage is great

[Treadlightlyful]

But where's the "Rappers" ?? ;o)

Yah agree , her voice is not what would be called ideal for the song but she definitely gets a pass for the violin.

(the percussion is real ? Not just digital machine made ? lol)

[thedarksideofthesun]

The audience sucks!

[TheMafagafo]

Man, I don't really like this lady's voice. She can sing it well, but it doesn't fit the song.

[10valk]

who ever new PVC pipes could be so beast?

[jonquil4000]

Keith Moon must be rolling in his grave,

[har0buyer]

Nice!! all it is missing is a good Scotch Burned Voice... she has a too nice and soft voice

[SISSAL5EVER]

In this video you learn "how to play the piano right"

[MrHightop68]

still it's a rather interesting way to play a grand piano

[ElGuayoteo]

Amazing as hell, and great cover!

I think the singer is really good actually and her violin part was fantastic!

[crysisguy05]

i fucking hate this singer espacially in this song

[countquackula]

NO! NO! NO!

These vocals are without doubt THE worst style possible for a song with this much energy! Completely ruined it!!

[wilddriversb]

Sorry, only Pete is allowed to do the Windmill

[GOCHICAGOWHITESOX]

everybody says she is a bad singer. i dont really think so

[webmatros]

@GOCHICAGOWHITESOX She's good but not as good as Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend (who sung the original version)

[PabloMGP]

@webmatros Who can?....give her break. At least she's not singing some fucking GAGA crap

[webmatros]

@PabloMGP I didnt mean it in a negative way, so take your attitude elsewhere;-)

[PabloMGP]

@PabloMGP I didn't either. I was actually punctuating your statement about Daltrey & Townsend. Sorry if you missunderstood.

[thestainisgone485]

@GOCHICAGOWHITESOX its not that shes bad, shes not right for this song

i dont mind it but i see their point

[Jrod111892]

Holy. Shit.

[BigBubba8410]

creative but horrible

[LooseControles]

Sorry, I spelled 'took' wrong :/

[LooseControles]

This song is a referance to Pete Townshend's religious views regarding 'Meher Baba'. It comes from Lifehouse (which was made into 'Who's Next' because Pete toock about 25 years to complete 'Lifehouse', and he still hasn't done it to his own standard). And it is called Baba O'Riley, not Teenage Wasteland!

[Serrarh]

Who on a vocal?

[davemr1966]

Jesus , get off the girls back .Tracy bonham is an ace vocalist , a top musician and looks  dam hot . This is their version of a classic , if it was meant to sound like the who then maybe they would have roger doing the vocals ,.

[737Pilot122]

It was amazing until she started singing

[ooKRE8Roo]

Very cool & original.!! Just like my amateur music vids.

[patapirate]

No disrespect, this a great version and the rythm section is awesome, and she's not a bad vocalist AT ALL, but she doesn't have that oomph needed for the song, i'm just sayin'

[BeatlesAreLife89]

is she saying teenage wasteland?

[patapirate]

@BeatlesAreLife89 Yes, those are the lyrics to the song, Baba O'Riley by The Who, just in case you don't know ;)

[BeatlesAreLife89]

@patapirate Oh hmmm... still its a good song thanks

[torod213]

This would make Doctor Octopus jealous!

[joebove4]

I saw this show at the University of New Orleans Lakefront Arena. It was so incredible, and got me to pretty much fall in love with Tracy Bonham.

[Boomkid38]

Pretty fucking epic in my opinion!

[TheColSamson]

@Boomkid38 Aye I agree.

[maxwax117]

the guy in the yellow at 2:45 in the crowd is sure having a good time

[dbr712]

The singers wierd interpretation of the song ruined the performence.

[gincanonassis]

she doesn't have a bad voice, but its no good for this song .. not enough power and sustain

[SuperMike82]

love how many musicians are up there contributing to one of my favorite Who songs!

[stjames888]

64 people with NO music taste!!!

[78r0ckarolla]

Fuckin´killer version!!!!!I´m amazed and jazzed...

[billworld2]

64 deaf people voted...................

[Goku611]

BEST GUITAR SOLO EVER

[madpegg]

The percussion section of this group is incredible, and I personally think this version is just as good as the original, kinda like the Korn version of Another Brick in the Wall... its just bad azz

[Opie852]

@madpegg i'd hope they were good at percussion. it's really all they do

[Cokeylata]

@madpegg Re: Korn version of another brick in the wall

You BEST be trollin'.

Regards.

[MapleLeafAce]

@GREENDAYROCKS123100 except that the original has the same exact part in it...

[Immortalbus]

@GREENDAYROCKS123100 The Violin is in the actual version -_-
