Simmon Townsend looks so much like his big brother Pete. Pete has kept Simmon employed many year’s and he’s been very generous to his other brothers and whole family.
Moon is my Number 1 rock hero, but we should all be very grateful and thank Kenny for stepping up and doing a very difficult task for the Who and us fans of the greatest rock band the world will ever see and hear.
Moon was fat and even more sloppy that he always was the last 4 years of his life....they needed to hire a session for some of the recordings on the "Who Are You" album....
It's Hard is an underrated album. This is my fave version of Townshend. '75 was when Datlrey was at his best. This band is UNREAL! Godamn Entwhistle on the bass...jawdropping!
Same here - his playing in this period is better than any other. It was the custom Schecters imho. Wish he hadn't changed to strats. Don't seem right for him compared to these guitars. Kenney Jones is superb as well. Doesn't get the credit he deserves.
@@bareknuckles2u I wouldn't argue in relation to this gig. I saw them at one of the two UK gigs before they did the US tours and it was one of the best Who shows I've seen. However, there were also US shows at which Townshend was seriously conflicted and displays little enthusiasm, so it's complicated.
Was at this concert at 15 yrs old just off of stage right, facing the stage. When they show the crowd, I always struggle to see myself in the crowd from 40 odd years ago, like a time machine. It was a truly amazing concert that defined the 70's / early 80s. Little did I know that 42 years later I could watch it again. It brings me back again to those very moments, as if i were there again.
The Who with the Clash at the Kingdome in Seattle was epic. We drove down from Vancouver BC. Back then at the border we were basically just waved through after yelling "Concert" out the window. Different times.
Well, they still do that (wave you through) at the border, especially for illegals! See, not much has changed! Oh...wait a minute, for people like you, your not gonna be permitted to pass.
@ED B Me too, on the field halfway to the stage on Pete’s side🎸 Great memories - Awesome concert in Philly! ( Saturday September 25th “1982” JFK Stadium Phila PA )
@@lextualtrès bonne comparaison Daltrey ne court pas dans tout les sens comme Jagger on sait même pas après quoi il court ha ha ha 😂 ( Guy platteau Marseille)
Back when San Diego got all the best bands. They got the Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin, 3 Dog Night all on or before the 70's. They were on every great band tour list.
I saw the Stones there at Jack Murphy around this time. I thought it was '82. Yeah, San Diego used to ROCK, with great shows! Saw Fleetwood Mac, Bob Seger, Frank Zappa, Grateful Dead, etc. Missed this Who show, as I was out of town. Caught them in '89. Great show!
@@waynej2608 As I recall, when the Stones came to SD in the 70's it was at the old Arena and there were counterfeit tickets going around and it created a big mess. Also, my best friend worked at one venue in San Diego around 1972 when Led Zeppelin came to town and he got to put Jimmy Page's guitar on the stand on stage before the show. They wanted to walk on stage in the dark so the stand had to be at an exact spot. He was a guitar player, too and it was like touching King Arthur's sword, so to speak. The father of another school friend had a big music store down town and he provided some of the amplifiers and equipment for the Beatles when they came to San Diego. I ended up working in AM radio for a little while in San Diego and I tell you, it was a wild time.
Saw this tour in Tempe, AZ, John Cougar and Loverboy opened for them. That was the night John Cougar got hit in the head by a bottle thrown by a fan. He went offstage and got some stiches then came back and finished his set.
Saw the Who at Arizona State University on this tour. Sandstorm knocked out the power after 3rd song. Waited for hours for the concert to restart. When they came back It became a serious show. Played a full set show!
Saw this tour in Orlando Fla. Joan Jett opened for them. Just after Keith Moon died. My first child was born shortly thereafter Sept 1983. Nothing like the Fukin Who !!
@@LoneLee2022 Hey thanks everybody for stating the obvious. In retrospect after 50 years of The Who it is just after. Remind me what tour took place during that time lapse. Many years of hard partying may have altered my memory
In their mid 30’s I remember this final tour thinking The Who were old men when in fact they were young dudes. Strange how life is as I watch this now 55 years old.
@Timothy Turner Awesome & dang I wonder if since the Capital Center always had that in house video screen if your concert was recorded and kept? Yep my Philly ticket was $15.00 dollars also on the 25th just two days after the Landover Maryland shows! 👍
Did they go through Landover twice on this tour? I was at one of their shows there but I thought it was in April. Probably killed too many brain cells in the process!
@@scotthalligan4675 I just looked up all the WHO 82” tour dates and yes they played on consecutive nights in Landover Maryland on September 22nd & 23rd as the Sept 22 show was the opening for this tour!🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm glad this video is out there because I remember being bummed seeing this tour and missing Keith and thinking Kenny just wasn't up to it. he totally was.
@@nocarbonfootprint9120 i totally agree.. I seen the who in '76 in SD with moony.. I went to see them with the clash and walked out halfway.. kenny wasn't in his element..I seen faces on '74 and Kenny Kicked ass!.. so I was hopeful..
This is great! I remember this show but was initially expecting the Clash to open, like in L.A. just a couple days later. The L.A. show was announced before the SD show, so when they announced in on the radio "... with special guests, LOVERBOY and JOHNNY COUGAR!" I almost lost my lunch. THANKS so much for posting this!
Is Loverboy in the Rock HOF yet??? (kidding!!! bwahaha!) But seriously sooner or later the HOF will have EVERYBODY in it and it will be meaningless (like it already is).
Listening to this sounds fucking amazing, I was there for the 2nd warm up date in the UK before the USA tour - Birmingham Sept 11 1982, the crowd was going mental, best concert of my life. So despite these amazing '82 shows how did we end up with the shitty final album Who's Last ????
Excellent. Saw The Who as few days later, October 31st 1982 at Sun Devil stadium in Tempe, AZ. Almost the same, except a few songs different. John "Cougar" Mellencamp and Loverboy were also on the bill. Great show!
@@robertgarcia5809 YES! The show was stopped, then he came back out 5-10 minutes later with his head wrapped, and he finished the set. He propositioned the guy who threw the bottle saying, "You and me, motherfucker, anytime, anyplace!". The crowd went nuts.
Saw them in September 1982 in Philly. 100 thousand. When they did Behind Blue Eyes I sang every word at the top of my lungs with tears pouring down my face. To hear that song live was just incredible.
Saw this tour twice, once in Iowa at the UNI Dome and once in Chicago. For the UNI Dome show, floor was open seating, so we ended up about 8 rows back in front of the Ox. So freaking loud, I felt like my head was underwater for 5 days after the show! My very favorite band of all time.
Roger Daltrey apparently never warmed up to Kenny's drumming. Pete offered Kenny the job without consulting the other guys, and it didn't really work out. I always thought he was great, but Roger never liked his work for whatever reasons.
Kenny was actually a better drummer than Moon, Moon was erratic and unconventional, Pete Townshend was never a fan of Moon's "sloppy drumming". I love Roger but he was wrong on this one....Plus the last 5 years of Moon's life was nothing to get excited about.....Didn't they need to hire session drummers for some of the recordings on the "Who Are You" album?
I doubt this was officially recorded by Who. More likely (and I don't know for sure) this is a recording of the "in house" closed circuit feed from the stadium that was projected on the large screens for the crowd to see and also fed to the monitors in the luxury boxes. Fortunately, the feed for this show also contained the audio (sometimes it does not). What would happen was this, someone who worked at the venue would secretly record the feed since video recorders where already inserted into the system to play various tapes containing advertising and other messages to the crowd on the large screens. The tapes of these shows were not stored at the venue in any kind of official "archive" since they did not have permission to record them in the first place, but rather the master tapes were almost always taken home by the employees that secretly recorded them. Sometimes, usually years later and after that employee no longer worked for the venue, they may have made a copy for someone and that's usually how these things get out. It's worth noting the source for the officially released Who DVD "The Who Live in Texas 1975" was one of those shows recorded without permission by someone at the venue (in that case, the Summit in Houston, Texas). There is no telling how many more shows like this (for the Who and many other bands) still exist since the tapes are all in private hands scattered all over the place. I am thrilled to see this one show up. I saw the Who on this tour and I thought they put on a very solid show (even without Keith Moon).
Bought this show on DVD in Tower records Dublin - The Who Live Generations USA 1982 - Think it is the same show and not really sure if official or not.
@jmikeperkins Thanks so much for the info that you posted because I often wondered whenever The Who played the large venues and the outdoor stadium shows during this “82” tour that the shows who had the big screens set up for the audience viewing, their must be a video recording of those concerts that’s either in the bands vault of archives or like you said someone who had a connection as an employee to the venue has these gems in their possession but either way👉 release all of them please!🎸lol
I enjoyed seeing them in Iowa Falls during this tour, the last time I went to a Who concert. I had seen them twice before with Keith Moon, so without him, it wasn't the same
We came up from Anaheim in the blues mobile that Ralph from Detroit was driving, and Nick puked all over the side of it on the way home.. what a night!! Best song for me, and I still remember it was "Cry if you Want" Townsend at his best.. "The Quiet one" was really good also..
Damn I'd almost forgot the fire these guys came out with this tour - I really felt The Who thought they had something to prove this tour - a lot going one for the band ATT. Pete especially was fighting the onset of 40 as much as any man ever has. His solo stuff shortly after this is some of his best stuff. Kenny was a pro and a good fit. I had no idea this existed! I was at this tour for a couple shows - not at The good 'ol Murph tho. Thank you!
I was at the L.A. Coliseum Gig,.I went for the Clash,.of course I was just as stOked on the Who.I was a 13 year old punk rocker,.I went with a bunch of Mods from high school,.remember it like last night!,.amazing gig.X
I was at this show. Me and a couple of buddies drove down from Camp Pendleton for the show. M tv was handing out buttons in the parking lot. I still have it in a drawer. John Mellencamp and Loverboy opened the show. For a football stadium I thought the sound was excellent. It really is a good memory. Thanks for posting this video.
I’ve seen the who live a lot. I think I even saw this tour, but I hardly ever listen to them anymore. I’ll still listen to the Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Little Feat, and plenty of others, but the Who are kind of forgotten (by me). And then I see this and remember how many great songs they had. They were awesome.
I was there! Thanks for posting, brings back memories. Crowd had already seen opening acts John Cougar (Mellencamp) and Loverboy, if I remember correctly.
💪😎👍 Awesome! My big brother saw this show @ The Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY & brought me home the T-shirt when he came back to Boston for winter break! Popped in randomly to check out the quality & arrived right @ the start of "The Quiet One" - GREAT!
i saw them in brighton a few days before this so its nice to have a recording of the best gig ive ever seen yes was very especially the ox and british band nine below zero were xlnt too
Que buen archivo del recuerdo, se nota la evolucion desde su presentacion en Woodstock, lo mejor de lo mejor, Tommy y Quadrophenia.........saludos a todos los fans de The Who
Kenney is a great drummer, but his approach of playing the hi-hats on the verses & the ride cymbal on the chorus, & doing all his fills from left to right every time, doesn't quite serve The Who's music. Simon Phillips is also a great drummer, but was not quite the right drummer for The Who, either. Zak Starkey, whose first drum kit was given to him by Keith Moon, has had the best feel & vibe for The Who's music. When Moon died, The Who had massive financial obligations, they couldn't have retired the band if they wanted to. This is the problem when a band becomes a brand. Kenney's drumming was best suited to The Small Faces & The Faces. His playing on "Song of a Baker" still shines brightly (he was barely out of his teens when he recorded it). One of the best things he did with The Who was "Get Out & Stay Out" on the Quadrophenia film soundtrack. (His drumming on the Tommy soundtrack is also superb, but the production, with gobs of synthesizer overdubs, & Ann Margret & Oliver Reed on vocals, is pretty tough to take).
@@ericmalone3213 Noted to your comments. But we also must take into consideration - we were coming into the 80s at the time, and everything was changing. Even if Moonie had lived, pretty good chance he would have had to play simpler anyway (it already began with the "Who Are You" tune, probably his most straight ahead playing to date). They would not have had the same success as in the 60s/70s. "Face Dances" into "It's Hard" were perfect for the new decade. Kenney was in the right place at the right time for the Who.
@@malinwj1167 I wasn't conjecturing about if Moonie had lived. But if he had lived, he wouldn't have played "simpler" because The Who were still playing plenty of 1965-1975 material in their shows with Kenney, so Moon would have played as he had always played, he certainly wouldn't have switched to playing the hi-hat on the verses & the ride on the chorus, with conventional left-to-right standard fills, as Jones did with the 1965-1975 material (that is what began to drive Roger crazy). "the "Who Are You" tune, probably his most straight ahead playing to date". Keith's playing on "Baba O'Riley" "The Song Is Over" "Bell Boy" "Slip Kid" "However Much I Booze" & the live versions of "Roadrunner" & "Join Together", are as "straight-ahead" as his drumming on "Who Are You". (By the time of the Who Are You recording sessions, Moon was on hemineverin, the medication that killed him, given to him by a quack Dr Dymond, that should have only been taken under close medical supervision in hospital. He was drinking on it, & as a result was incredibly sluggish, which showed conspicuously in his playing). Face Dances & It's Hard are painfully awful albums, for too many reasons that I won't go into here. Most of that material was not only unsuitable for Keith, it was unsuitable for The Who--it should have been relegated to Pete's "Scoop" demo collections. I will pay money not to have to listen to "How Can You Do It Alone" et al.
@@ericmalone3213 "Face Dances & It's Hard are painfully awful albums" Well, if YOU say so. I'd say that they are perfectly adequate for a band that was adapting with the times and experimenting with new approaches. Can't live in the past forever. The Stones tried it and result show that they should have pulled the plug long ago. "I will pay money not to have to listen to "How Can You Do It Alone" et al." I would say that about most all 'Classic Rock', tbh. Including a lot of the Who's material. It's fun to watch these old videos for nostalgia, but that's about it. I saw the '82 tour in Philly. Me and my Who loving buds really weren't all that impressed. Could have been the rotten 'acoustics' of JFK. -shrug-
Saw this tour Nov. '82 at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando. Was so shredded. Went on a radio station party bus with free ticket winners. 103.5 FM WSHE, Fort Lauderdale/Miami. B52's got booed off stage as opening group.
Simmon Townsend looks so much like his big brother Pete.
Pete has kept Simmon employed many year’s and he’s been very generous to his other brothers and whole family.
Saw them in Worcester during this tour. It was finest mind blowing. They played Love Ain't for Keeping which was a real treat for me.
All you need to know about drummer filling Moonys shoes is “Who are you”… To be able to flawlessly cover that tune live is unbelievable 👍🏻💯🥁
Moon is my Number 1 rock hero, but we should all be very grateful and thank Kenny for stepping up and doing a very difficult task for the Who and us fans of the greatest rock band the world will ever see and hear.

@@pulsarlights2825 A session drummer did not play on Who Are You, Keith Moon was the only drummer.

Same here - his playing in this period is better than any other. It was the custom Schecters imho. Wish he hadn't changed to strats. Don't seem right for him compared to these guitars.

The tapes of these shows were not stored at the venue in any kind of official "archive" since they did not have permission to record them in the first place, but rather the master tapes were almost always taken home by the employees that secretly recorded them. Sometimes, usually years later and after that employee no longer worked for the venue, they may have made a copy for someone and that's usually how these things get out. It's worth noting the source for the officially released Who DVD "The Who Live in Texas 1975" was one of those shows recorded without permission by someone at the venue (in that case, the Summit in Houston, Texas). There is no telling how many more shows like this (for the Who and many other bands) still exist since the tapes are all in private hands scattered all over the place. I am thrilled to see this one show up. I saw the Who on this tour and I thought they put on a very solid show (even without Keith Moon).
Bought this show on DVD in Tower records Dublin - The Who Live Generations USA 1982 - Think it is the same show and not really sure if official or not.
@jmikeperkins Thanks so much for the info that you posted because I often wondered whenever The Who played the large venues and the outdoor stadium shows during this “82” tour that the shows who had the big screens set up for the audience viewing, their must be a video recording of those concerts that’s either in the bands vault of archives or like you said someone who had a connection as an employee to the venue has these gems in their possession but either way👉 release all of them please!🎸lol
Bits from at least this show, Seattle, and Cleveland were recorded by the band and released as WHO’s Last in 1984.
Well said! I think this is the best 1980s Who material I have ever heard or seen. It’s great, IMO. And I love that someone recorded it.
I enjoyed seeing them in Iowa Falls during this tour, the last time I went to a Who concert. I had seen them twice before with Keith Moon, so without him, it wasn't the same
Jim Eginoire……The Who is just an above average band without Moon. They should have called it quits when he died. They lost their fire when he died.
We came up from Anaheim in the blues mobile that Ralph from Detroit was driving, and Nick puked all over the side of it on the way home.. what a night!!
Best song for me, and I still remember it was "Cry if you Want"
Townsend at his best..
"The Quiet one" was really good also..
The Who are on my short list of bands at their peak I would love to go back in time to see....The Doors is another.
Creedence!
Damn I'd almost forgot the fire these guys came out with this tour - I really felt The Who thought they had something to prove this tour - a lot going one for the band ATT.
Pete especially was fighting the onset of 40 as much as any man ever has. His solo stuff shortly after this is some of his best stuff.
Kenny was a pro and a good fit.
I had no idea this existed! I was at this tour for a couple shows - not at The good 'ol Murph tho.
Thank you!
well said, sir :)
I was at the L.A. Coliseum Gig,.I went for the Clash,.of course I was just as stOked on the Who.I was a 13 year old punk rocker,.I went with a bunch of Mods from high school,.remember it like last night!,.amazing gig.X
Just watched. What an awesome performance from my favorite band. Great to hear Tattoo live.
This sounds excellent! And the video to boot! Thank you! Long Live the Who!
Boot! No pun intended?
I was in the third row in front of Pete Townshend. Great concert!
My bad, wrong year. I saw them a few years later.
Great sound! Got to be the best audio on Cry if You Want from the 1982 tour i've ever heard
Good stuff.
I attended this concert…Great gig
I was at this show. Me and a couple of buddies drove down from Camp Pendleton for the show. M tv was handing out buttons in the parking lot. I still have it in a drawer. John Mellencamp and Loverboy opened the show. For a football stadium I thought the sound was excellent. It really is a good memory. Thanks for posting this video.
I’ve seen the who live a lot. I think I even saw this tour, but I hardly ever listen to them anymore. I’ll still listen to the Stones, Beatles, Zeppelin, Little Feat, and plenty of others, but the Who are kind of forgotten (by me). And then I see this and remember how many great songs they had. They were awesome.
One of my favorite WHO songs....
Saw this show a month later 11/27/82 in Orlando, FL. I was so shredded that day. Went up on radio station party bus. My friend won free tix.
I was there! Thanks for posting, brings back memories. Crowd had already seen opening acts John Cougar (Mellencamp) and Loverboy, if I remember correctly.
That's not a show! That's a festival!
I remember this was on pay-per-view cable
💪😎👍 Awesome! My big brother saw this
show @ The Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY &
brought me home the T-shirt when he came
back to Boston for winter break! Popped in
randomly to check out the quality & arrived
right @ the start of "The Quiet One" - GREAT!
Even though they didn't have Keith Moon,they still sounded pretty awesome with Kenny Jones.
best tour they ever did
Thanks for posting. Great. Thanks for keeping it in the original aspect ratio.
This is why I play Bass.. I'm 62 and just learning how to play and how to play This Masterpiece..
To be continued...
So cool. I saw the Who twice without Keith Moon. I was fascinated to watch him perform live in this clip. Pretty impressive.
Gotta love “new wave” Pete.
I was at the 1981 UK Tour that preceded the US Tour and I will never forget my FIRST time seeing The Who
i saw them in brighton a few days before this so its nice to have a recording of the best gig ive ever seen yes was very especially the ox and british band nine below zero were xlnt too
The vocals on this were like, I was sitting close, at a live concert, with all the minor imperfections and that up front feeling.
Que buen archivo del recuerdo, se nota la evolucion desde su presentacion en Woodstock, lo mejor de lo mejor, Tommy y Quadrophenia.........saludos a todos los fans de The Who
I was at this show! Great time!
Give it up for Kenny Jones.
Much better times. Pete looks like a kid here. He's a very old man now 😥😥!!!
Was at this show.. time flies. Gréât time In San Diego..
Я люблю Джона Энтуистла!!!! Twist and Shout в его исполнил- это ДЖон из Битлов!!! Пусть обоим земля будет пухом... ВЕЛИКИЕ ЛЮДИ, ВЕЛИКИЕ ПЕСНИ!!!
Kenny Jones is a great drummer, anyone who thinks otherwise can FO
Kenney is a great drummer, but his approach of playing the hi-hats on the verses & the ride cymbal on the chorus, & doing all his fills from left to right every time, doesn't quite serve The Who's music. Simon Phillips is also a great drummer, but was not quite the right drummer for The Who, either. Zak Starkey, whose first drum kit was given to him by Keith Moon, has had the best feel & vibe for The Who's music. When Moon died, The Who had massive financial obligations, they couldn't have retired the band if they wanted to. This is the problem when a band becomes a brand. Kenney's drumming was best suited to The Small Faces & The Faces. His playing on "Song of a Baker" still shines brightly (he was barely out of his teens when he recorded it). One of the best things he did with The Who was "Get Out & Stay Out" on the Quadrophenia film soundtrack. (His drumming on the Tommy soundtrack is also superb, but the production, with gobs of synthesizer overdubs, & Ann Margret & Oliver Reed on vocals, is pretty tough to take).
@@ericmalone3213 Noted to your comments. But we also must take into consideration - we were coming into the 80s at the time, and everything was changing. Even if Moonie had lived, pretty good chance he would have had to play simpler anyway (it already began with the "Who Are You" tune, probably his most straight ahead playing to date). They would not have had the same success as in the 60s/70s. "Face Dances" into "It's Hard" were perfect for the new decade. Kenney was in the right place at the right time for the Who.
@@malinwj1167 I wasn't conjecturing about if Moonie had lived. But if he had lived, he wouldn't have played "simpler" because The Who were still playing plenty of 1965-1975 material in their shows with Kenney, so Moon would have played as he had always played, he certainly wouldn't have switched to playing the hi-hat on the verses & the ride on the chorus, with conventional left-to-right standard fills, as Jones did with the 1965-1975 material (that is what began to drive Roger crazy). "the "Who Are You" tune, probably his most straight ahead playing to date". Keith's playing on "Baba O'Riley" "The Song Is Over" "Bell Boy" "Slip Kid" "However Much I Booze" & the live versions of "Roadrunner" & "Join Together", are as "straight-ahead" as his drumming on "Who Are You". (By the time of the Who Are You recording sessions, Moon was on hemineverin, the medication that killed him, given to him by a quack Dr Dymond, that should have only been taken under close medical supervision in hospital. He was drinking on it, & as a result was incredibly sluggish, which showed conspicuously in his playing). Face Dances & It's Hard are painfully awful albums, for too many reasons that I won't go into here. Most of that material was not only unsuitable for Keith, it was unsuitable for The Who--it should have been relegated to Pete's "Scoop" demo collections. I will pay money not to have to listen to "How Can You Do It Alone" et al.
Kenny Jones was great, but, without Keith this isn't The Who.
@@ericmalone3213 "Face Dances & It's Hard are painfully awful albums" Well, if YOU say so. I'd say that they are perfectly adequate for a band that was adapting with the times and experimenting with new approaches. Can't live in the past forever. The Stones tried it and result show that they should have pulled the plug long ago.
"I will pay money not to have to listen to "How Can You Do It Alone" et al." I would say that about most all 'Classic Rock', tbh. Including a lot of the Who's material. It's fun to watch these old videos for nostalgia, but that's about it. I saw the '82 tour in Philly. Me and my Who loving buds really weren't all that impressed. Could have been the rotten 'acoustics' of JFK. -shrug-
This was a great show!
Kenny J is awesome, drums sound amazing
I didn't realize that Jones had those guns. I'm thinking he beats Moonie in an arm wrestle. Lol.
Awesome stuff 🎸
Update , no better guitar player on the planet than Townsend
No better speller than you.
Exato!
Townshed, just sayin...
I was at this show! Thanks for posting this old memory.
I was in the tenth grade it was a high energy show gorgeous nights and everyone were pump thinking TheWho were retiring
Thanks for posting this, such a great set list.
Saw this tour Nov. '82 at the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando. Was so shredded. Went on a radio station party bus with free ticket winners. 103.5 FM WSHE, Fort Lauderdale/Miami. B52's got booed off stage as opening group.
Saw this tour in 1982 as well but In Montreal. I was 21. Great show.
I was there. Awesome concert.
