  • The Who performing at Live Aid in front of 72,000 people in Wembley Stadium, London on the 13th July, 1985. The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

      "Won't Get Fooled Again" is certainly one of the best if not the very best song played live in concert. Townshend has a knack for writing music that comes across as being explosive when it's played live. Chord structure, rhythm of the music, tempo, lyrics are all intense and create an explosive act when played live in concert. The Who, Thin Lizzy, Led Zeppelin. My favorite live acts in concert.

      @mustafawee Absolutely correct. One of the reasons that Queens' performance is considered great, aside from their talent and musicianship, is that they had been regularly playing live together through the early 80's. There's a big difference in playing these things during or around of tour and reuniting after a few years with a couple band rehearsals. The Who live on tour has seldom been matched and the reason they destroyed on The Rolling Stones' untelevised Rock and Roll Circus was they had been playing live near constantly since the mid 1960's if not earlier...

    My first concert. I was there to see Spandau Ballet and other 'pop' acts... Then I experienced The Who! The sun was going down, or had just gone down and this was the first act with impactful lighting. I will never ever forget hearing Won't get Fooled Again.. It was incredibly powerful, and Roger's scream partway through was accompanied with massively powerful floodlights, blinding us. It was just incredible. Queen were amazing, but for me The Who stole the day. Unforgettable.

      I was at Wembley - and to be honest, prior to the concert I think most people would have leaned towards The Who being the act to see or to steal the show - as they had broken up some years before and got back together first time for Live Aid. Listening to that keyboard intro echoing through the stadium like some outerworldly sound, The Who and that song could have stolen the day if Queen hadn't already done so an hour before.

      It was a great set from The Who, but this performance of "Won't Get Fooled Again" (definitely a great choice, given that the Brits had recently put the Conservatives & Margaret Thatcher in power...🙄..) was not flawless like Bowie & Queen were. FWIW, it seemed to me that Roger totally botched the lyrics & forgot where they were in the song at 3:19 or so (*), which threw the band off, and it took Kenny Jones & Pete Townsend (**) to get the band in synch & save the song. Nevertheless, it was an amazingly powerful performance of one of greatest rocks songs ever - with some of the most profound lyrics ever to grace popular music, IMHO. 👍😎👍 (*) It was the 80s, so methinks that someone was probably a little too coked-up...lol.😁 (**) note the look Pete gives someone off stage at 3:47 ...lol...clearly Pete was exasperated with the screw-up, but forged ahead...lol. 😁

    What I love about this performance is the screw up at the bridge. As with their entire career, they kept going and for that it is a beautiful thing. Even when we thought they wouldn't, even when it got messy. It had been several years since they had played together and I remember being out of my mind waiting to see their performance that day. For me, it gave me hope they would play together again after and maybe make new music together some day. I eventually got to take my eighteen year old daughter to see them, something I never thought possible in 1984. There are a ton of other Who fans out there who felt the same way that summer day. Kenney Jones never got enough credit for his time in the band.

    There’s never been a more dynamic band than the WHO when they were on point. Townshend absolutely the coolest guy ever to strap on a guitar with his jumps and windmills at the end. He makes it look so spectacular. I friggin love these guys and miss Keith and John. They represented my childhood from the sixth grade on through high school, along with Zeppelin. Long live The WHO.

    Roger fluffed it up at 3:19, but what professionals! Kenny looked at Pete and John, they figured it out and carried on. Im sure Roger was embarrassed, but hey...shit happens. Everyone had forgotten about it after about another minute.

      He sang it where it belonged, the band skipped it

      Actually it’s more Kenny’s fault for the mess up. He did his fill too early for the bridge while listening to the synth track in the headphones, and that’s what caused Rog to sing it early. Right after you can see a shot of John and Pete telling Kenny that he’s at the wrong place, but it’s still incredible to see them go on about it like it was nothing in front of millions watching.

      Roger was right going into the bridge of the song... I'll move myself and my family aside bit... It was the rest of the band who fkd up .

      I remember watching the whole concert live on TV and in general there was a lot of sloppiness on the part of most of the acts. The Who were definitely one of the better ones, cockups and all they always knew how to bring it.

    I agree with every comment made here....at least the first fifty! Kenny Jones deserves a lot of credit here. He's not only 'controlling' the band and making sure they stick to the flow of the song but it was him that rescues them when they fucked up. They all turned to him when it happened and looked to him for the 'rescue', even Entwhistle. That said, in my view, the song is the best, by far, rock song ever. It has everything. And the band.....jeeeez....what a band. I must have watched it ten times....and that's just this time.
    Truly remarkable.
    Everyone talks about Queen and U2's performance on the day but they didn't even come close to this.
    I doubt any modern band could do this.

    The Who sustains me! The Who are one of the first bands to understand where rock music can go! Elvis Chuck Little Richard Beatles Stones and the Who...on fire that night...still strong in break up

    It’s so refreshing remembering the days of our souls being drenched in the power and sound of rock n’ roll and not one cell phone to be found in the crowd.
    Ah, those were the good old days. I’m so thankful that I lived and breathed the music back then.

    Looking back at this show it was awesome to see all the groups perform and I recorded it on my Beta VCR 😂still have the tapes to this day, good times. If you got to grow up in the 50's through the 80's with all the great movies & music, YOU were blessed.
