The High Numbers Live! - Ooh Poo Pah Doo 1964

[danofseb]

Uppers, Cuban heels, marraccas, and pencil skirts. Soo good.

[mrJimCharles]

The guy with the clapboard at the beginning is Kit Lambert I think, which would mean this is AFTER they had used the name "High Numbers" and gone back to the Who.

[senanLFCmcgrath]

@mrJimCharles the fact it has the who written on the clapboard gives it away as well

[Mr27Mod]

Create a disturbance in your mind!

[SamTarly]

Moonie dominating even then

[wittenbergdropout]

I would shag any chick in this video. They had class back then.

[debiedog1]

Pills and Mods!!!!

[e28stevo]

we are we are we are the mods !!!!! i shoulda been 19 in 1965 born too late !!!!!

[alonenjersey]

Live Rock-N-Roll. Just try and beat it.

[dominiccarter77]

Rocking horse shit! So glad they have got footage of these gigs!

[Zed707]

Wasn't it all really just the same song from this out? Isn't there really just one of us here, and the rest are done with mirrors? Strange how all the dynamics are all quite in focus here to be amplified later. At their purest and their finest. All downhill from here??? "Socrates1818" we know that answer already, don't we? peace&light 2 all here.

[stuthescoot]

Let the good times roll on. Keeping the faith

[getsomeCommonSense7]

THANK YOUUUUUUU!

[Grafietstift]

yooooooooo hoho

[staunched]

Brilliant, didn't know there was any High Numbers footage, now I do, great share cheers ;)

[fdghdf678]

I'm sorry, but who the fuck in their right mind would dislike this video?

[socrates1818]

Phenomenal, but kinda downhill from here, huh?! HUH?!

[wutangforever18]

now who didnt like this? The Who is what legends are made of

[mango8613]

I <3 The WHO and

I <3 Mods

[Monoloptic]

how come this was before they were called The Who yet at the very start a guy is holding a film board thingy that says THE WHO on it ?

[LukaTaylorWatNow]

@Monoloptic they were the who before a manager suggested they be the high numbers until their songs failed than they went back to the who. So the band name the who was used for them before this video

[drummer78]

@LukaTaylorWatNow That manager was Pete Meadon.

[LyLiam17]

I think that the High Numbers had talent even though they was very "homely". Best MOD band ever been... and I love mods.

[spinalCJ]

i wan't that raspy voice so much!!!

[unknownkingdom]

@spinalCJ I kind of thought he didn't start singing like this until later on. His voice on a lot of the early albums is more smooth But I guess he could always sing this way.

[astronomius]

i love this song and how they played it, so... fresh, youthful. instant party music.

[astronomius]

you know, this is a really good example of how they'd usually play: John's bass is really loud and keeping time, Pete checking his amplifier and adding rhythm riffs, Keith kind of keeping time but filling in, and Roger with his back to everything getting lost in singing to the audience...

i think things didn't change too much later on, except Keith would get a lot more impatient and Pete wouldn't have to check the amplifiers as often

[alonenjersey]

It's always great to catch a band doing a fantastic live performance at a small local place before doing it a big arena.

[rckrchck]

My friend was so hot for Roger - this makes me smile when I watch.

[Terrilliser]

looking cool Rog in the sunnies!!

[jumpinjackflash1968]

Minute 1:50 - 2:11 I Can't Explain very similar riff

[soulhoney56]

Cant get this out of my head...........So cool, my god wish it was 1964.  This is absolutely THE BEST !

[hipster65]

If this ain't cool..... I don't know what is!!!!

[tripnixon]

imagine if a carbon copy of the who was just starting today... holy crap, my mind would explode.

[mrallcock]

nice bulge roger daltry- way to rock it boy!

[WNM52]

Channel this = NO MORE ENERGY CRISIS!

[mod4life1964]

sexy motown blues

[john683011]

Greatest Motown cover band ever.

[pennylane71]

this video makes me appreciate the who even more!

[BrickUnit]

was pete not playing at 1:14

[BrickUnit]

i'd love to see them do this live in 2009

[bonglewongle]

ano could u imagine it would be amazing

[titostacos]

Amazing how much better musicians they seem on "My Generation" which is... a year later? Here, they sound kind of green.  By 1965, they're virtuosos. How'd they do that?

[moveonupcb]

What are you talking about? - they are brilliant here!!

[Terrilliser]

love the sunnies Roger...

[ferrarif40]

Daltrey is owning this... I like him best singing these kind of songs

[pennylane71]

fucking amzing song and roger daltrey sings like nobody else!

[twoslices]

and we thought punk was new in 1976!

[MIKECNW]

obviously the 70's punk rockers were inspired by the Who.

[sleazyweaz]

Amazing that in 5 short after this came Tommy. Two years after that came Who's Next.

[jfab64]

As important a genesis clip as the Beatles in the Cavern Club. Does anyone know what the earliest Rolling Stones film is?

[passarinho88]

great images thanks thanks and thanks for the post ,this is a true classic .

[akovia]

[kbohare]

[rckrchck]
