What exactly happened to cause him to shout like that? Pete takes it so seriously, He likes to restore order to the audience, and his language got a little salty. They cause people to get happy, who usually get out of hand somewhat. What a band, 47 years worth of pure music!!
@Entwistle54 this is from the 30 years max r&b box set they released around 1994. this version of bargain is from the san francisco civic auditorium, 1971.

John Bonham or Peart couldn't....they just didn't have his creative style, they were better at their solos not their studio work (respecting Achillies Last Stand and YYZ)
Superb version. I'd say The Who were at their live/studio peak around about this time. I remember reading somewhere that Roger thought the synth/moog they used on the studio version of this song sounded like a belly ache to him, ha ha. Such a powerful band on stage, one of my faves along with Purple and Zep. Cheers for posting.
I went to the Long Beach concert where Pete told us to shut up (pretty funny, actually!), and there was a bootleg of it called "Closer to Queen Mary" which I have, and must've been used by the guy who included it in this upload (judging by the record noise). The sound quality of the song is great, not off a bootleg, that's for sure!
I was at this show at San Francisco's Civic Auditorium, 12/13/71, 14 years old (had school the next day). Joe Walsh opened. Tickets were $3.50 (quite expensive at the time). Saw the last half of the concert pressed against the stage on Pete's side, 15 feet from his HiWatts. The entire Who's Next album was played as a long medley, one song just flowing into the next (the old songs, Tommy numbers, etc., preceeding it).
This experience literally changed my life. Now I realize it was a banner show.
@LSFuckingD The friend, and what such lol ? Vegas it that such city? Where it is? I live in Russia in the city of Arkhangelsk, I am opened for dialogue. Yes, about Nadezhdy Kadyshevoj, it there was a joke, Russian humour
@TheRomarior Vegas, Las Vegas, is a city that exists...you can bet on that...quite a shitty city. I live there. Though, I have no fucking clue as to why..
chrisbass48, that messed up intro to real me was from the king bisquit flower hour. It was played on the radio in march of 74 when they announced the tour for 74. I saw them in msg june 10 and 13th...
People kinda like it when God raises his mighty voice at them, at least he's paying them direct attention. Ha ha, and kids do kinda think rock stars are Gods. . .sorta. They probably thought it was kinda cool. I think it's lame, because I don't see musicians as Gods (anymore). Great version of this tune!
@Bopalena AMEN TO THAT BRO., ABSOLUTELY UNCANNY DAMN IS ALL I CAN SAY, AND WHAT I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOR A LONG TIME. BELIEVE IT OR NOT, PEOPLE ACTUALLY THINK j. Bonham and others are as good or even better, HOW CAN ONE HONESTLY THINK THAT.
I always thought that this song was a great example of Keith's drumming at his best. There is so much counterpoint going on here between Keith, John and Pete, but Keith really makes this song what it is: Great.
I was at the SF show... F-ing amazing! They were at their highest energy at this time. Ticket was like $5.50. One of the first shows I ever saw & still rates in my top 5 of all time. My dad waited in line to get me one of the last available tickets. I was like 13 yo, & told him I would cut school. My brother drove me up to the show. I saw "Who's left in 06', ticket was $250. They were still great, but of the 5 or so times I saw them, the SF show was the best!
My brother & his girlfriend sat outside the concert in the soundtruck, so I know it was recorded. I would love to hear it, the whole show was simply amazing!
I mostly remember the intensity & energy that each band member put into it. I remember Pete sitting on a ladder during Magic Bus & doing a parody of an SF car salesman, then leaping from the ladder with a crunching power chord & landing on his knees on the stage floor. This was 40 yrs. ago, yet there are still clear images in my mind. Windmilling guitar arms & big air from Pete. Perpetual motion & swinging mic from Roger. Flying drumsticks & gymnastics from Keith, while John never moved.
Does anyone know where to get "Decidedly Belated Response" a bootleg from the American 73 tour from, it had an excellent fucked up intro to "The Real me" ?
I agree with Pete. It is very annoying to any band when the audience is making noise and generally acting like assholes. How can they give a decent performance with all that disruption? Ian Anderson told the crowd shut the fuck up or Jethro Tull would quit playing and leave the stage. I know; I was at that concert.
If only we could force people who are in bands that are on the radio and play live shows today to listen to this and hope that it could rub off on them a little bit....
The Who were always solid & professional, but live, they were always taking it to the edge, always taking chances, trying something that might take the song even higher. They fed off each others' madness. Unsparing of themselves. If you know about singing, you know that Daltrey is taking really big risks going for those high notes. That takes guts, on top of the best pipes in the biz. The Who? The best. They make no sense at all. A class of their own. 40 yrs a fan, still hear new things.
I remember this live version of Bargain from the album, Who's Missing;from the 80's. If memory serves the album listed the song as 1972 but included no date or location for the performance. As for the best live version ever??...Judging on performance alone its always subjective; as far as sound quality, this is the best I've heard. How can you beat vintage Who in their very prime..The band was a machine and Moonie in particular, was sharp as a blade in 71 and 72! VivaLaWho!!
Wrong. He may have been yelling at a solo concert, but the beginning of this YouTube is from Long Beach 1971, and there's a bootleg album from that show.
I had a bootleg called: Closer to Queen Mary that had the Pete Dialogue on it before it move right into Bargain and "That" Bargain didn't have the great sound as this version, but it was a more hard blasting ending I've ever heard live of this song. But that's gone so very I'm happy this is up to hear. Who Fan since My Generation, so My friends think I'm a lost cause by now. 56 years old and still think (KNOW) this is the Greatest Band of all time.
The "Pete Dialogue" is fuckin awesome!
