The Who-Long Live Rock

[JoeTheLion188]

I'm probably going to get crap for this, but, 'tho he wasn't Kieth, Kenny was a damned good drummer.

[JoeTheLion188]

DAMN IT! I Can't get my computer loud enough for this song!

[ShadowOfADoubt9]

1:53

LOL I love John!

[EuchridEucrow1]

There are some really solid performances preserved from this concert - "Eminence Front" is particularly good.

At some point between Daltrey's sappy delivery of the bridge and Townshend's Chuck Berry performance, this song seriously loses its way, though. I wonder if they even cared by that point.

[JoeTheLion188]

@EuchridEucrow1 I respectfully disagree with you... to a point.

This song, to me, is a celebration of Rock n Roll. Pete's "Chuck Berry performance" and the pianist (I wish I knew his name) doing his damnedest to emulate Jerry Lee Lewis is a fantastic!

Kenny could have done this song with a five piece trap kit and still rocked it!

And Entwistle... OK, could have done this in his sleep.

Daltrey's bridge was... Well... Maybe... Lackluster?

I always thought of this as a Pete song...

[sandee6786]

Just don't compare him to Daughtry.

[Monos4]

FUCK YOU SOBER8? ITS ONE OF THEIR BEST

[sober8]

What is your problem, I never said anything bad about this song, you can go fuck yourself asshole

[smautomat]

During the verses, Pete sounds like he's doing a sarcastic immitation of Johnny Rotten. Listen especially to his affected accent on the line "Rock is dead they say...".

[mapscannotcontainme]

He is. LOL.

[Pmccrsp]

Never knew Entwistle picked the bass on this song.

[Zigster38]

Best version of this song I've heard!

[curtisgurl2482007]

[thehoundz]

[Jaysin13]

[lmaster65]

Its always interesting to note how there are lights on Pete and Rog but not On John. Same thing with screen time. Just watch The Kids Are Alright. So sad. :(

[marymoomaguire]

great- purely for roger being very funny!!!

[Galadriel1010]

Ye gads, what is Roger doing back there lol. Don't think I've ever seen him properly dance before.

[palmettopony]

haha exactly...that's what makes him Roger!

[Galadriel1010]

And that's why we love him.

[demetersgrief]

Now you know why in Quadrophenia Roger's theme is "Helpless Dancer." But somehow, it works so very well for him.

[DangerousBastard]

Very cool! Tahnsend looking mightily Bruce Springsteen-ish in this one!

[cutiger1984]

Springsteen would be lucky to be anything like Townshend.

[alcest35]

Agreed!
