Awesome, but I still love the Live at Leeds version the most. That song is possibly the greatest ever live performance of The Who, and it's a shame there isn't a video of it.
Saw the Who do Young Man Blues in Music Hall in Cincinnati this same year on the US leg of this tour (with the James Gang. . .I can still remember it to this day. Moon and Townshend were unbelievable. Entwhistle had the skeleton suit on that night, as well. Saw many Who shows back when they were "the Who" (i.e. with Moon) . .all memories now but no one can take that away from me!!
If there's ever a real rock and roll hall of fame,not that piece of crap in Cleveland, this performance should be on a huge screen on a continiuous loop, to show all future generation what rock and roll is all about and to show them how to do it right.
anyone notice that keith breaks his bass pedal and puts his right leg round the other side of the snare and plays it all on the left kick untill the tech swaps it! Hes god!
The incomparable Who. The greatest ever Rock Band. The most magnetic frontman, the greatest drummer, the manic guitarist, the thunderous bass. Magic. Long live rock!
Pete Townshend is jaw-dropping here. He is a natural showman, just as much so as Mick Jagger or David Bowie. You could say the same about Moon and Daltrey.
I pay atention on your opinion about music. I did also a lot of times. But never express an opinion , bad or good, about any writer of youtube. I think that kind of coments not interesting to anyone. Think about it.
Oh yes they were, Revolution,Twist and Shout,Hard Day's Night were definitely rockers. The Who were definitely better rock musicians but the Beatles had the biggest influence especially with Sgt Pepper. With album they said you can play rock and roll anyway you want to.
yea i have to agree with tht. The Bealtes r my fav band ever, followed closely by the Who. But yea, live, th Who would kill the Fab Four. Plus, the Baltes stopped touring after 1965. IMO, their best stuff came out with rubber soul and on. I aint a fan of their early pop rock. I wish i coulda seen the who live with all members.
Led Zeppelin songs are all better before you read the lyrics and try to take any kind of meaning from...When you read the lyrics to WHO songs that Pete wrote you end up liking the song more. Pete didnt just string together a bunch of words that rhymed and call it a song.
Led Zepelin?? please compare live perfomances..The Who were a lot better. And there is no doubt Keith Moon was and is the very best drum musician in rock history...till now. Now the truth remains: the 3 best bands in Rock´n roll hitory: Beatle, Rolling Stones and the Who.
dude, listen. you are wrong on so many levels. First off, you can't compare. Like the others said, educate yerself and go effin listen to Tommy and Quad. they are amazing with a lot of meaning. Did Zep do that? NO. And Townshend put A LOT of thought into his songs. Most of em weren't the typical love songs that everyone does. Pete is an amazing song writer who obviously had more meaningful songs! I don't bash Zep, but I think The Who are better. Shut up you ignorant fool.
hahhahaha what did they ever write about? Did they ever write albums that consited of ONE story? NO...they just wrote about random shit dude, shut the fuck up and go buy Tommy and Quadrophenia for meanging you ignorant prick
I think Bonham looked in the mirror each morning and hoped and wished and fantasized that he could be Keith Moon...or maybe even half as great. Yeah, I know Page was a bit better than Townshend and Plant was cooler and a better front man than Daltry...But Entwistle and Moon were on another planet musically. And Zeppelin songs are very lightweight when you really break them down...you want meaningful...go buy Quadrophenia.
Of course Keith Moon was and is the best baterist in the Rock history....Bonham??? ha ha...,also the who are my 3 favourite group inmediatly after Beatles and Rolling Stones...the thre better rock´n roll bands ever.
Keith Moon was like Bruce Lee with drumsticks.If you people like this check out Long John Baldry's Don't Lay No Boogie-Woogie on the King of Rock and Roll
The Who were a revolutionary band, breaking every rule in the book. R-n-R drums, bass, and rhythm guitar are not lead instruments, right? Wrong!! With all of them soloing at once it's nothing short of incredible. Daltrey's in fine form as well.
Like Ted Williams... they should have preserved some of Kieth Moon somewhere cryogenically..... someone really should have thought of it. Effing hippies....
They were indeed playing very loud...this was a woodstock-like festival with over 650,000 people. They used all the best,most powerful equipment that was available at the time. Thats why all the other bands playing the festival used The WHO's personal P.A. system.
They are the most underrated rock band ever. This is the beginning of punk and metal music. Everybody else was singing about the flowers in their hair, while these guys were defining what it means to rock. I've never been more sure of anything than I am of the fact that no band from any generation could out-do these guys on stage. NOBODY
Ummmm. My head just exploded.. Is what I just watched even possible? I guess not anymore..
