*Top Of The Pops 70s*-#20.The Who-Won´t get fooled again

[astrophonix]

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss" that's what they're singing in Egypt right now, revolutions just replace one ruthless dictator with another.

[joymates]

the drumming is so fake ,anybody with half a brain can tell it's playing to a tape , I love moon dearly , but it always makes sick to see what used to be passed as "live' , maybe if you shift the camera's fast enough nobody will notice , tony fletcher is a whiny twat , trying to make a buck on a dead legend

[fault3k]

This is kinda a wimpy version of the song, but still a good performance none the less.

[12SeanH]

Just Awesome: - Daltrey being the total frontman - Townshend doing a bit of 'bowling' - Moony on a mad one - Entwistle just cool as fuck

[lewisner]

Daltrey was the frontman par excellence - so much charisma.

[HitchHikersBlues]

For all you modern twats and clowns out there...

This is fucking Rock & Roll music.

[Yorkmackem]

The Who at their creative and live peak. Absolutely fucking amazing.

[zappator]

5 minutes missing!!!

[Paboll]

@zappator It was a radio edit

[TheCottageConnection]

how can they put Won't get fooled on, at only 3:45???????? wheres the power slide?

[55westend]

@TheCottageConnection Yes, the lip synching could have been better....

[RichXZ]

@TheCottageConnection That was the single version on 45

[RichXZ]

That was the single version on 45

[AllOurYesterdaze]

Nice to see John up front and getting his fair share of screen time.

[XtrmMcjohnson]

Keith and John kill this song. They're absolute nuts on their instruments. Impossible to replicate the drums and that bassline.

[harfarhs]

3.10 - Pete hits his mike and follows up with a cute sheepish expression :D

[robin56]

Check it out! eric15746 is right! watch at 2:26 cause that is a foot NOT stompin"! They shoulda not bothered with that shot cause there it is for all eternity. A little limp foot hangin' by the peddle. Great trivial moment...and sooo Moonish!

[KawadaFan]

Great song. Too bad it's mimed. The Who were a phenomenal "live" band. So TOTP should've let them perform this live. Makes sense. Miming is a joke.

[TheSHEERHEARTATTACK]

@KawadaFan well look at queen, they've mimed and they were possibly the greatest live band ever

[KawadaFan]

@TheSHEERHEARTATTACK

I agree. However it just seems demeaning to me that all these amazing live bands like The Who, Stones & Queen were made to mime (on TOTP & Beat Club etc.). Just let them play live.

But mimed footage is better than no footage I guess.

[plimptonrocksmysocks]

jeez they need more shots of pete

[darrell7878]

moon is almost unhuman on drums on this song what hes doing would be impossible to replicate

[Noobripper]

@darrell7878 Thank u 4 ur comment. I'd bn listng 2 this song for decades, then when i saw moon for the first time i thot he wz retarded.

[kirkwallboy]

There definitely was a vibe in the early 70's. It wasn't the 60's anymore. The vibe spillage was apparent in the Who and the Rolling Stones around this time. And in the, post Small Faces, Faces. It was very fab.

[eric15746]

according to tony fletcher in his book "dear boy - the biography of keith moon" viv stanshall of the bonzos was behind keith with a piece of rope tied to his broken right foot and when they thought the camera was on moon stanshall was given the task of pulling the rope to make it look as though he was playing his right bass drum. ROCK N ROLL

[Spiderwebsider]

the Who at their best!!!

Moon the loon and the ox steal this one.

[soulhealer20]

You mean there's a guitar player in there? I'm watching the drummer and the bass player. HAHAHAHA! Madness!!!!!!

[sneha1965]

Gotta love the sounds of those P90's.

[KingHellstrings]

@sneha1965

You mean those Gretsch pickups?

[sneha1965]

@KingHellstrings I guess for the recording that we're hearing it was a 6120 but live P90's.

[tonysx]

nice to see the arp 2500 syntesizer at the begining of the video

[dockaiser]

pete's the best rhythm guitar player eva

[Cookie2Head]

i hope you know that he can play WAY more than just rhythm...

[dockaiser]

Well yes I know but his rhythm guitar playing is surely his strongest side (rather than soloing)

[Cookie2Head]

maybe in this song, but you should watch him live at the isle of wight festival. he's AMAZING (especially solo).
