- THE WHO perform BABA O'RILEY to close out their show in Cincinnati, Ohio as a tribute to the victims of the 1979 tragedy at their concert at TQL Stadium on 5/15/22. Footage shot in high definition in AVCHD mode using a Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 using "iA” mode.
Roger has taken such good care of that voice. Still sounds unreal!
Absolute miracle and testimony to medical science...he's had throat surgery and all kinds of issues
@Love and Harmony - besides all that he quit smoking weed in the late 60s. Throat surgery only does so much
Rogers has had a few ops on his vocal chords
It blows me away how Roger still sounds that good at 78
Isn't it crazy! Amazing!
Roger struggled for a number of years. He found himself a vocal guru who miraculously put his voice back together!
@@bcushing do you know the name of his teacher at all..?
Crazy is right. His voice is still great.
Need your ears checked. I went to their farewell tour in 1989 in Giants stadium.
Teenage Wasteland .... chills. Violinist was born to be a star.
Absolutely agree 100%
@@stigy61 THE FEMALE VIOLINIST IS EXCELLENT AND GORGEOUS .ROB.
Someday she'll tell her grandchildren that she was on stage with The Who in that epic moment. How great is that?
Damn, you go Roger! Crush the vocals at 78 years young! Damn impressive when so many other classic rock artists can't sing a note anymore.
Is it ok if I am overwhelmed with melancholy? I mean, I bought their 45's as a kid, I saw them live in the 70's, and we've grown old together in a way . . .
That girl stole the number. Bravo!
99% of the music made today will never, ever give you chills or bring you to tears when you hear it live. Popular music has gone from plucking the strings of your soul to merely washing away the more random noises around you.
FUCK YEAH!! The crap on the radio is pathetic!! Nobody can play like The Who, the Stones 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I disagree with comments like this you just need to listen to music more often by that I mean not the same stuff
I first saw The Who around 1965. They used to gig at the 'Goldhawk Social club' - Goldhawk rd, Shepherd's Bush west London. The old guys can still hack it. :-)))
Holy cow. You saw them at the Goldhawk?? That place has legendary status among hardcore Who fans. Did you know 'Irish' Jack Lyons by any chance? He's a longtime friend of Pete's. There's a documentary where Jack goes back to the Goldhawk. It's still there.
Roger Daltrey voice is killer. 78 fricken yrs old, dang. In my opinion the best ever rock singer. Love the WHO
Couldn't agree more with you Don. Rob.
I still think that title belongs to Freddie Mercury
she got that violin solo perfect
I was lucky enough to finally see them perform live last year in Anaheim. They can still kick ass singing and playing guitar and the violinist is gorgeous and is so talented. Great experience!
I really wasn't expecting this to be that good! Well Done 👏 Roger Daltry.....awesome performance 50 years later!
Yes, and that is a VERY hard song to sing. I always respected Daltry more than Robert Plant who constantly sings in lower octaves from the record. Daltry is GREAT and from what I hear, a nice, humble guy.
I'm continually amazed by how good Daltry sounds after all of these years. It's really pretty incredible.
@@douglasmccomb2029 I actually met Roger a few years ago when he was at UCLA unveiling a new cancer program for teenagers. He was super nice.
Townshend might have wrote most of tommy but it was rogers baby he sung his heart out on that damn thing!!
'The Who' one of the greatest of sixties origin. Bless them for staying in the present while wonderfully remaining engraved in my entire life. 'There wants was a Note' -- fade to silence --
They have aged well. A lot of class up on that stage. Thank you to the Who.
Roger sounding strong here. I always thought of Who's Next as a hippy record with balls. Beautiful girl NAILED the violin solo. LONG LIVE ROCK !
I was a junior at Reading HS in 79. The guy that sat next to me in chemistry class was a senior and had gone to the show. Back in the day, it was common that the crowd would press together towards the entrance, and you could lift your feet and be carried along. I remember doing that for a Queen concert and being carried for 20-30 feet.
Anyway, my buddy shows up for school the next day after the Who concert and tells me how the crowd actually pushed him through one of the closed doors. He'd gotten there early and was about 50 feet from the entrance. Once the crowd heard the sound check, people from the back started pushing forward. The people up front had no where to go because the doors were closed. The surge of people popped the doors and my classmate got pushed through a door. Scary as hell, and a day none of use will forget.
I've always loved the Who, they're one of my faves, but that day will always be with me.
I'll never forget that on the 11 o'clock news.
Wow! Roger is still in good voice. Bravo!
These two are some of the coolest old dudes on the planet!!!!
amen.
me and my mate saw the who perform this in october 1970,liverpool empire.such a great gig,hooked on the who ever since.
Reading thru these comments and watching this clip I am overwhelmed with emotions. What a great clip. I was there at Riverfront Coliseum that December 3, 1979. Twenty years old and celebrating my 21st birthday with friends. Arriving late, The Who were playing Baba O'Riley when my date and I came upon the most surreal images of my life. The crush had already occurred and the plaza outside the arena was strewn with shoes, hats, gloves, purses, coats, and myriad bric-a-brac. The glass doors were completely shattered. EMS were still around. And from inside came the refrain, "Teenage wasteland, it's only teenage wasteland". Wow! I am still affected by that event. God bless the lives lost and the families of those who died there. It still shakes me to my core. Long live The Who! And long live Rock!
Excellent comment Varn. Blessed you who could assit to this great concert.
Wow, thanks for sharing that,,,that must have been awful ...
Hi, who is EMS that you state in your comment?
@@barriejackson965 Emergency Medical Services
43 years ago tonight. God bless the families of those who died at Riverfront Coliseum. Prayers and thoughts always!
Dammmm,.. July 5, 1980 @ the Houston Summit. 42 years ago. I saw them when I was teen,.. Blew my mind,. Ears rang for a week, They are still mind-blowing.
Going mobil
Pure and easy
My wife
The song is over
Those are just a few of so many great songs. What an awesome group.
Roger Daltry ……. Absolutely INCREDIBLE !!!!
The Who is Timeless...thank you for your talent!!
Remembering the souls who lost their lives nearly 43 years ago, it’s great to see this acknowledged by Pete. The Who have still got it going on. Thank you for this upload.
I saw them in Philly one week later also GA. That was an awful thing.
Pete Townshend, as part of his Audible original “Somebody Saved Me,” somberly remembers that night and the grievous loss of so many promising lives at the hands of promoter’s greed.
@@YragFlow1966 In 1979?
11 died in a stampede when ‘ opening the doors ‘ . The crowd rush was really an expected thing in the 70’s but this time , Cinci really blew it up
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Who_concert_disaster
For those of you who never saw it, find the 2001 NYC benefit after 9/11 and watch the rendition of this song. Its still the best live performance of it I've ever seen. Just incredible energy.
True.
They're so fucking good at the 9/11 show. Just tremendous.
I’ve been fortunate to see The Who perform Baba O’Riley 3 times, the first in St Louis in 1973 when they were touring for Quadrephenia, the second in Des Moines, touring for Who by Numbers, then some time in the early 80s in Cedar Falls Iowa at the University of Northern Iowa. The last was the only show without Keith Moon. I have to say, Zak Starkey is fantastic. Watching this was like seeing them the first time in 1973. They may not have the energy to move with the music as they did in 1973, but the girl playing the violin part sure does! Wow, first time I’ve ever seen it performed with a violin, and so perfect! This is how I had imagined it performed forever.
The Who will live on forever
I saw them at the Providence Civic Center a short time after the Cincinnati tragedy. I was at the front of the line before they opened the doors. An usher motioned to me to come in the side door which he had just opened. This took the pressure off the front doors. The concert was awesome! I remember Pete played a guitar with a large number 2 painted on it. After the concert a black limo was slowly exiting the Civic Center. It paused in front of me to allow the crowd to pass. In the back seat I saw Pete Townsend almost passed out from exhaustion. He gave everything he had at this concert. Great memories of a lifetime!
I can picture the scene. Thanks for sharing. I know that during that period of '78 and '79 he numbered his guitars because they were each tuned differently by his guitar tech, and he would grab the correspondingly tuned guitar for the appropriate song.
Roger is no longer human! He’s superman level!
I graduated from Finneytown HS in 1967. Good grief, how awesome!!!
Oh, mercy. I'm in tears here, this was So Beautiful. The crowd throwing back the love. Her violin playing was so playful and stunning and when she neared Pete it brought a smile.
Thank you, lads, forget the years, it's what's inside that matters.
Long Live The WHO !!
That video brought tears to my eyes...like I tell my sons, I may be half deaf but I got to see all the great bands!!
Which Half?
Absolutely correct. I've seen The Who 5 times ... 4 times with Keith Moon and 1 time with Kenney Jones. That group grew up with me and me with them. I get tears as well ... especially when I hear "Pinball Wizard." WE did get to see the great bands, didn't we?
and your brother rolf?
Wow that violinist absolutely NAILED that solo!
For all of us who have seen this band, we know how lucky we’ve been. To see and hear this song live is something beyond imagination.
We saw it in DC and every time we have seen them we have been so grateful. Forces of nature they are!
The coolest part was the stadium full of people singing along with Pete during the "Don't cry" part. Roger leaves something to be desired vocally.
Giants stadium 1986 or 87 seen them all 3 days to date loudest and best Concert i have seen to date i am 53 now what memories, tickets were 300$ back then on the ground center still got my Acid Queen shirt and tribute to Keith Moon shirt 81.
I will never forget it. Best night of my life.
The two sparks of 'The Who' Townsend/Daltrey🤩! Flame softens but glows Eternal🌌 Heartwarming 🤘
There were a third and fourth spark but Keith and John have passed away !
@@jazzpotes42 All Respect, but Hell, I know the history. They (John & Keith) were sidemen in the music creation process. Moon was bombastic on drums🤩, world top drummer list, but he wasn't no music creator!! Townsend and Daltrey are the signature sound of the Who! Maybe I'm a bit defensive, but Wtf, I am who I am🤙
for ever young💓
I was at the concert and was in the crush of people. People fell all around me and I saved myself by lifting my feet off the ground and tightly swayed. A friend of mine’s friend, Walt was crushed and trampled to death. The concert last about an hour and we learned of people dying when we were driving home.
I’m glad that The Who came back and acknowledged that tragic night.
God blesses! Thanks, Patrick. I was fortunate to arrive at the show late or my girlfriend and I would have been in the "crush". When another member of our party showed up even later and said, "I just saw a dead person," we just laughed it off. We weren't laughing after the show when we had to pull off I-75 to call our parents and let them know we were okay.
That's amazing that you were part of that history. Something you'll never forget i'm sure.
EXCELLENT show! Very proud to have been there last night. The way they memorialized the 11 who were killed in 1979 throughout the show was awesome. I was 19 in 1979 and remember the event like it was yesterday. Katie Jacoby on the violin during Baba O'Riley was a highlight for me!
Any relation to Robin Trower? 🎶😜
In the year 2072, Katie Jacoby will be telling her grandkids that she played violin on stage with "The Who."
The grandkids will say "Who?"
She will say: "I know WHO they are. That's all that matters."
@@WallyPost I was wondering if you were going to go all Abbot and Costello on us.🤪😜
OMG...what an epic song this was back in the day, and so amazingly played and sang today. This takes me back in time to when I was a young teenager and a group of us would play WHO and YES songs on a getto blaster outdoors. Fond memories indeed.
Roger Daltrey is PURE LEGEND and the beautiful girl playing violin is amazing too.
There’ll be no more bands like them, musicians like them and music like that. Never. At the age of 80, they’re shinin brighter that any nowadays „stars”. We live in decadence times…
You're absolutely right.
Wow parents used to say the same about the lates 60’s about Sinatra and how decadent the times were. Guess it’s just aging that makes ppl think that way.
There will likely never be bands like them that become popular. But there are many great bands out there that you will never hear of because they'll never be played on the radio or brought to the mainstream. The underground Music scene is still strong and thriving. You gotta go and look for it.
@@wandajames143 Thats right, we are all a product of the music, sports, culture that we grew up with, and we all like to think our era was the greatest, and it was, for us. Our parents thought their music was the best and our kids and grandkids think theirs is the best, and on it goes
Pith what our kids missed.
Roger and Peter still sound fucking amazing great to see them still playing live
How bloody good is this? Amazing vocal from Roger. Rock on. Downunder, South Australia
Im so glad to have been from My Generation. Born in Dec 1950. We had the best music, and some of the gratest people. Nothing to doo with me, but I was just glad to be in that generation. The Who sounded wonderful and their young musicians and singers were outstanding. Well done Rogger. Always liked you.
The high school singers must be looking really cool to their grandparents, who like me, have been listing to the Who for more than half a century.( I hope the guys are willing to do a 60th anniversary tour in '24)
They rock! They're unbelievable! I heard them for the first time on Thursday and I haven't slept since!
THE WHO THE BEST 🎸 OLD IS GOLD
This brought me to tears remembering the very night of the original Ohio tragedy. Godspeed, Peter, Roger and all the fans.
Who?😗
As I recall the story their manager did not tell them till after the '79 show was over what tragedy had occurred. Pete and Roger still rock and that violinist was awesome! Thanks for the share!
You’re welcome!
Stunning !
Marvelous violin !
All these years later and I still love this song!!!!
Roger's voice is still fantastic. ... pretty amazing for a 78 year old guy.
I'm really happy to hear Roger can still belt it out. The years weigh heavier on singers than any other member of the band.
Bon Jovi can vouch for that.
That violinist performing at the end of the song has such a good vibe & fun energy!
150% agree
Wow!!!. I've loved The Who for almost 60 years. God, where does the time go?
At 77 you are young when you are already immortal.
Greatest live band on the planet between 1967- to the end of Kieth Moon..
I have seen them 5 times, with three different drummers over the years, and they were still one of the top live acts until after John Entwistle's death
@@HamiltonRb True, i think Pete and roger should have hung it up after John's death. But without picking Moon up in the low 60s i don't think they would have the spark they needed when performing live. I Listened to THE ROCK FROM Quadrophenia Album and a few other of my favorites like"Bargain' from Who's Next, Moon is incredible in that era.
@@jdefeo9841 Moon was a great drummer, and certainly had a intense chaotic way of delivering the beat. He was the drummer when I first time I saw them in Montreal, and although opinions vary and there is no right or wrong answer, he is in the top 4 drummers I have ever seen live, along with Bonham, Peart & Baker.
@@HamiltonRb I agree with that list
I was at this show with some really dear friends of mine. The footage of the fallen, the recognition to their families ect. And just a fanominal concert. I've seen a bunch and this was at the very top!!
Wasn't that lady violinist really quite a talent, she really played her heart out... Bravo !!!
That looks like the same violinist that played with the Who in 2019 in Buffalo when I saw them. Incredible!
How she can play the violin that well while she moves around as she does is phenomenal!
Check out the girl that plays violin for the Celtic woman 😎
Was she playing rhythm violin?
Her movements didn't match what I was hearing....
Damn, that girl was amazing!
Damn I remember that horrible day and we know how the members of The Who felt about it. What a great way to close the circle. Love The Who...
I'll be in DC Monday the 23rd! I CAN'T WAIT! Practicing my air windmills all week!
@Paul Mosmiller just don’t destroy all your amps 👉 🎸 🔊💥💥🔊…..🤣
Wonderful. I've never seen Pete be so understandably commutative, personable and gracious. I've seen them in concert when Keith was alive and later when Kenny was on drums. A life long fan. They've "topped their own charts" with this group of musicians and this concert. Thanks so much for posting this. Peace and Much Love
Pete has mellowed in his old age. He used to be such a contrarian.
@@davidbrown5152 I read an interview with Pete years ago. He always put Roger down and belittled him. One day Pete realized that there were Only 2 of "them" left!?! Pete finally came to terms with Roger and the respect showed. Roger did a PBS show back in 1994 I think it was. "Roger Daltry and the music of the WHO". Along with the Julliard orchestra. It was excellent. Roger also, during his concert, brought John Entwistle and ultimately Pete on stage to play with the orchestra and him. I have lost the VCR tape of this show, but if you ever get a chance to find it and watch it, i think you'll really enjoy it.
Such a tragedy that was. One of the great WKRP episodes as well, it’s worth the watch
I was lucky enough to see The Who perform this with Nigel Kennedy at The Royal Albert Hall in 2000. When someone comes on and does Baba with a fiddle/violin its deeply moving, and this player hits the part incredibly, and her enjoyment is so amazing. a song that's 50 years old. And think in 1971, 50 years ago was 1921. A good year.
Highly emotional concert....long due since that tragic night in 1979.
What happened that night?
I can't wait to see these guys. I have tickets to their Toronto show this coming October. I regret not being able to see Entwistle; I could have seen him during the Who's Quadrophenia tour in '96, but I chose not to go, because I had a night course at university that night. But koodoos to that kid at the end for rockin' it out on the violin with Townshend. She'll have something to tell her kids about.
I have tickets as well. Oct 2. It looks like a really “good feel” show. They look that they are enjoying themselves and want to be there for the audience. Hope our show is a good one!
@@davidbrown5152 I'm in section 323 on Oct 2. Come visit me, bud! (I know a David Brown in Toronto who's an engineer. If that's you--double on you to come see me!) I agree that it'll be a great show. Just wish Entwistle and Moon could be there. But I can't have everything.
Jesus still going{and still kicking ass} at their age.......and here I'm 60 and feeling every year of it. "Bows to the Masters of Rock"!!!!!
Thank god for The Who!! Seen them in 79 in boston right after Keith passed.i was 14.my parents got us who tix for xmas!
JESUS this song is TIMELESS and the WHO prove they still got it in SPADES! I totally regret I didn’t see them last year on their tour!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Wish i could sing 1/10th that good when i'm 78 ----------- FANTASTIC VOICE !!!
I'm thinking, this version of the band might have fit a bit snugly in the Cavern Club. But this was gorgeous. The violin, as usual, enormously special.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! As a retired music teacher from Finneytown it was pure joy for me to see my former students on stage! Wish I could have been there. The Eleven will never be forgotten! ❤️
UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks, Gents For The Happiness!
Simply amazing.What a great band!
They still sound powerful.
Greetings from Kosovo🇽🇰🙏🏻🏴
She is amazing!
I saw them in 1968 Miami on the float, Biscayne . grateful to my friend Dave Matheson
So glad they returned after all these years!
Outstanding!!! Long live Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, LONG LIVE ROCK!!!
Roger sounding great! And recreating classic jogging/ mic swing routine too
Living legends! Hope they stay among us in good healthy condition and make great music for years to come.
This is my dedication to the brothers and sisters back in 1979.
Pete is a cool and witty guy ... plus playing Great Rock guitar ..
One of the greatest bands of "all time."
There are two categories of Rock Bands of the 60s.
The Beatles - a class by themselves.
The Rest - The Who are the BEST in that category.
Keith Moon and Ringo are why I started playing drums back in 1965, and still do today at age 70. Always a favourite band for me. Peace & Love
yes Daltrey you nailed it !!!! as for Townshend....I pity the poor soul! Now I get the orchestra part.
Awesome to see !!!!! Back when I was a kid they were the loudest band of all time and destroyed their instruments on stage ! It was kinetic !
Damn, Rog, sounding Great mate!
Always knew The Who was a class act…
Always Amazing.
Who?
Roger sings better than most others 50 years his junior!
Amazing! WHO CAME FIRST! [Both a question and an answer!]
Jesus was and is First.
I just stumbled across this randomly but even I picked up on the Cincinnati reference straight away (and remember that day). Wow! Just Wow!
One of my all time favourite groups
The violinist is a knockout, wow.
I’d do er
Ya THINK?
those kids in the orchestra...very lucky I no doubt would have soiled or wet myself had I been in their position. I idolized this band at their age and it was goose bumps seeing them live at 15 or 16........amazing experience
Great to see them come back to Cincinatti, they still sound great especially Roger and having Ringo's son on drums is cool, Rock Royalty.
Good music transcends generations. 😎🦉🏴
THE WHO, Another Legend band. There wouldn’t be another who anymore.
My brother inlaw's brother was there back in 79 thank God he got out in time.
WOW really good and true to the album the violinist nailed it. Great job
Pete really is a true genius
Great!!This ist the WHO
