The Who & Tina Turner - The Acid Queen (from Tommy)

[TourDeFlexTVJC3]

Ike who?!

[superkenalmighty]

I think it should be made mandatory to show this scene to every child, simply so they don't do drugs ... and also to scare the ever living crap out of them.

[landline00]

This is amazing!

[DRpretorius39]

I love this movie! These artists took the Who`s song and made them their own! Personally,I prefer the movie versions to the Who`s versions of these songs.

[spoilednancy1]

WATCH THE FILM

[krizonras17]

HE PAYS HER IN TOOTHPASTE LOOK AT 1:29

[MyCodeNameIsSofie]

how is it possible to dislike this song?

[DevastationCroatia]

This movie is a masterpiece, and this track is an early orgasm.

[goatboy420]

@DevastationCroatia Good God, man, that is an outstandingly concise description! You have both splendid taste, and a stunning turn of phrase...

[lanesakorane]

kakav dobar intro...

[petriec2]

The only woman who looks like a transvestite......without actually being one.....

[fasioletti]

@petriec2 tina turner doesn't look like a transvestite, she's fucken hot. trannys look retarded.

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

@petriec2 Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a transvestite.

[FromQC94]

@TheBeatlesRoooock agreed I never liked her!

[MOSKII58]

wonder exactly why he came up with Gypsy acid queen..whaqts the little story behind it..

[demarcos69]

Best scene right after Weird Uncle Ernie....

[luvtinaturnerlots]

Happy Birthday Tina Turner 71 today x x x

God bless 'The Queen of rock and roll' cant imagine a world without you

[Colatron]

Best movie ever. Best concept album ever. Best Oliver Reed ever

[bioarnie867killer]

The who is a amazing band but Tina turner, she's dreadful in my opinion No offence Tina turner fans.

[FreeVlogger]

awesome, but still creepy nonetheless

[zombiemonster]

that laugh at the end was perfect

[Hdpyou]

The best version. I think Tina is awesome here.

[lrd9999]

I wasn't a big fan of the original Who version of Tommy; it sounded sterile compared to their earlier work. But the soundtrack had the edginess that was lacking in the original, not to mention the soul that Tina Turner brought in. I never saw the actual movie, but I'll have to add it to my NetFlicks queue; this clip, especially that iron maiden thing, is really disturbing (in a good way, of course).

[J43265]

Best scene in the whole movie

[peteyc27]

I wish I could just listen to the first 55 seconds of this song on an endless loop.

the guitar licks and bass are ridiculous.

[HOKKLORD]

awe aye!!

[robbiemelo]

Capillus ...este viedeo esta parando no meio ...ta normal ou é uma coisa do you tudo !!! Capillu this vieo in gonna being stop in the midle ...is that a problem from your uploud or from YouTube ?? thanks Beto Melo ...msn bobmelo@hotmail.co.uk

[MadonnasMrDj]

@jay23beer You mean Lady GaGa's Bad Romance is like "The Acid Queen"

[aswerecool]

is that a tube of  toothpaste at 1:13 ??

[SSt4rr]

of course Keith moon would be working at a strip club

[Bethfromwigan]

is it supposed to be uncle ernie in this clip, or is keith moon supposed to be playing another character ?.

[tonymontana1974]

@Bethfromwigan Id say he was palying the character of uncle ernie working at a strip club.

[jaydabaron]

2 HELLRAISERS TOGETHER KEITH MOON AND OLLIE REED 2 CHARACTERS YOU JUST COULDNT HELP LIKING! THIS IS A BRILLIANT SONG TINA TURNER ROCKS HER VOICE IS AWSOME.

[luvtinaturnerlots]

TINA ' Queen of Rock and Roll'

[pedrodiesel87]

[serotine9]

[WillScarlet16]

Man, Roger is SO hot!

[ComedicArtist866]

@WillScarlet16 IKR?????????

[TheSirFERDINAND]

what an acid trip !! lovely

[halfbreed009]

i want to bang her so bad

[Breen31173]

Is that Uncle Ernie who's the ticket taker?

[Breen31173]

Tina Turner claimed she did this film without knowing what acid was Yah Right

[jkguffin]

anyone else notice she has like 5 costume changes in this 8 minutes???

[krizonras17]

im the cocaine king

if tina turners the acid queen

[TheSirFERDINAND]

@krizonras17 the ROYAL COCAINE KING is CHAILE YORKE aka CRAZY BOY no other

[soaringvulture]

This is scarier than the flying monkeys. And they were scary.

[entheogenic135]

Simply fantastic and what a performance

[rysim1984]

I wish wish wish stars could be like this today rather then carbon copies. we had queen of sould queen of rock n soul, quen lioness Tina but today we get jack shit. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxx love you Queen

[CodySkytower]

Is he getting high or is he getting a blood transfusion? Dear lord that machine looks wicked. Haha I love this film.

[tinafanforlife73]

Tina!!!! I would take acid if she were administering it!!!!

[TurboVW2004]

The BEST celebrity performance in Tommy, maybe even for all of rock music. The song, Tina, the music - all of it is perfectly astounding.

Nobody new on today's music scene could pull off 5 min of this film.

[Urbanhip123]

This segment demonstrates John Entwhistles' procilivity for cranking out on the bass. He was one of the best! Pete throws out some good licks also. It is unfortunate that neiher John nor Keith could show up for the last Super Bowl Performance.

[mrJimCharles]

@Urbanhip123 It's Ron Wood on lead guitar on this, and John should still be here, he had a heart problem that he knew about and a problem like that and coke don't mix. Keith was fated to die young, when he died he had already cheated death at least 3 times

[lrd9999]

@mrJimCharles Unlike his chauffeur.

[scottmanduzy]

Provocative for 1975!

[WilloLFC06]

"Give us a room, close the door...", yet she leaves the door open. Great song though, love Tommy the album and the film.

[mtfune]

I enjoy this song as well as Tina Turners provacative acting!!!!

[ma1968rkm]

great film/ken russell at his best/who needs hollywood

[ruffskin1]

Oliver Reed was a hot bastard .....

[OE34466]

I love the guitar from 0:55 - 1:00

[Fieldsfangirl28]

wow this is trippy and Tina Turner is awesome!!

[usspike]

What did that guy 'pay her' before she started? at 1:30

A tube of toothpaste?

[Monoloptic]

@usspike lube

[pixiewilson42]

Ken Russell at his most psychedelic...Turner is fantastic here....Oh not forgetting Ann Margarette +the baked beans..every time I eat them I think of her!! lol

[jeanniedee]

Whole movie is one amazing drugs trip(without Drugs) but try it WITH drugs a toatally mind blowing expeience , OMG turner and her legs are fantastic , Wow ,watta movie !!!!!

[IHugShortPeople]

lol I showed one of my friends this scene and the pinball wizard scene with Elton John. Now he wants to see the rest of the movie. :D He cracked up at her face at 7:48. it was so funny to see his reaction.

[AutumnDearest]

I love the shoes she wears in this, and I love her legs in those shoes!

[DullTorpor]

Hey, it's an "Acid Maiden."

[tt247jer]

put me inside!

[rocknrolldaddio]

,this may be mild compared with todays FX's. but, in '75 watching this on a 30' screen, whoa!

[ma1968rkm]

yes

[Terminaldogma]

Is the creepy guy in the ticket booth Keith Moon?

[gnunlee]

@Terminaldogma i believe so, he also plays uncle ernie later in the movie

[tnway]

Yes... unmistakable ;)

[ChuChu353]

YES!!!

Starting at :51, Oliver Reed and Moonie are some sinister SOBs

[lalalalee]

the guitar solo in the middle of the song is omitted from the soundtrack... wtf were they thinking ?!

[novaberbe]

man that bass.....thats funky...

[JMB30]

John Entwistle, Ronnie Wood , Kenney Jones . Different class. English r&b at it's best ! !

[Azoicum]

Tina is Great. btw did MJ use the same This is it injecktion body armour ?

[Skeeterhaxxorz]

What the hell is that random face at 6:35? Who is that?

[vansmeiter]

That's Oliver Reed, playing Tommy's stepfather.

[EZGOinRI]

I listened o Patti Labelles version of this and prayed for a deep brain bleed 30 seconds in. Some things should just never be redone.

[josbo51715]

I agree. Patti really butchered this song.

[ThePookie27]

pay me before i start..... gather your wits and hold on fast your mind must learn too roam just as the gypsy must do you gotta hit the road.......the who 4 ever yall

[millvalleyrn]

the acid queen scared me when i was a kid....go tina!

[soaringvulture]

@millvalleyrn The acid queen scared me when I was an adult. Especially when I was stoned.

[theacidking78]

;) I'm the acid kiiiiiiiing!

[beyoncetyratina]

Damn you guys should hear Patti sing this song. WONDERFUL!

I haven't heard this song in a while now. Lol I actually miss it. 'Specially the Guitar. That Bass is like... real low.

WOW, this was in 1975, and it STILL ROCKS!!!

[rickjr37]

One of the very best musical performances ever caught on film. 1975 also gave us Tim Curry's masterpiece performance of "Sweet Transvestite" in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show"

[YougotFacepalm]

One of the best songs of the film, and the performance of it at Woodstock in 69 (album came before movie, so don't start in on me that the movie wasn't made till 75).

[justray911]

hot hot hot i saw this show on broadway and it was the bomb

[iman5497]

YES!

[MrTenessee]

Happy birthday queen ^^

[portoferraio2003]

Happy Birthday, Tina!

[Boerenfox]

I simply love that thick fat bassline under this song, with Tina's excellent performance on it.

[mukatuna]

I love that deep fat bass-line as well. Tina doing Acid Queen is certainly my favourite song of the whole movie. It's like she was just made for this part.

Seeing that iron maiden thing with all the hypodermics still gives me the creeps though. Especially that massive needle at the top, when the camera zooms in on it...it's just gross.

[elwanning]

Is the dude at the beginning Greg Kinear?

[rexcat]

This is, of course, NOT how acid is absorbed into the body but still, WOW!

[JMB30]

This is not the who as such as it's John Entwistle, Ronnie Wood , Kenney Jones and TT . R&B at it's best

[Herstory4321]

I disagree. The acid queen used a hypodermic to inject LSD. This is about an acid trip, that shocked him out of his catatonic state. (If anything could, that would be it!) She did not bother to have sex with Tommy. The movie depicts his trip.

[Dalmaik]

One of the main points is that he can't see her colour...how fucking thick are you!!!!!!!!!!!

[Azoicum]

male or female

[missmistyo]

Go Tina Go.

[CelesteStorywriter]

Personally, it sounds like she's half-screaming, half-yelling and half-singing.

[Azoicum]

It's all acting because Tommy can't see nevertheless a very good listener. He has no chance to fuck a black woman in those days.

[Herstory4321]

Tommy was deaf, dumb, and blind. Remember the lyric from Pinball Wizard, "That deaf, dumb and blind boy sure plays a mean pinball!" But he wasn't really, he just saw his Dad kill someone and went crazy. Saw it on stage in London, 1979, man.

[Azoicum]

right, the brain and his dick (woody Allen)

Tina on the bed is my favourite filmscene

[Dalmaik]

It is about Tommys first sexual experience...race is not an issue!!!!

[MissReige]

You can't have three halves at once.

[bckm54]

she is...very clever the way you put that, celeste... :) and she pulls it of GREAT! btw, i did NOT give you a thumbs down.

[bogercs]

What kind of Machine is that?

[CelesteStorywriter]

It's made up.

[googaORANGE]

my favorite song

[Boerenfox]

I agree, Tina's performance is convincing and outstanding!

[pinkydogbear]

@Boerenfox  I agree.,

[pinkydogbear]

@Boerenfox I agree.........................­..
