The late, GREAT John Entwhistle, one of the greatest bass guitarists in rock history. God rest him.
He definitely earned the nickname "Thunderfingers"
I'm sure with him, moon, Lennon, Jim Morrison, Freddie Mercury, now with David Bowie, Eddie Van Halen I'm sure they're all rocking out up in Heaven and I forgot to mention Jon Bonham
@@dennis-jamesmoynihan7440 Amen to that idea!!
Absolutely underrated bassist along with John Paul Jones...................
@@dennis-jamesmoynihan7440 ...and Rick Parfitt.
The only band with a Lead Drummer
Rush I would say had a lead drummer
Except maybe Genesis
Neil Peart
Bonzo of Led Zeppelin!
@@katehamilton7240 well, I think Bonzo was the best drummer but P&P led Led Zep, imho.
The formula was simple. Keith Moon did a drum solo and Townshend wrote a song around it.
Strike that, reverse it.
@@ChrisMaxfieldActs I made the comment tongue-in-cheek. I didn't mean for it to be taken seriously!
@TheScavenger71 It was funny
😎
Welcome to what we people who are are in our 60s and 70s grew up listening to. And this was just one of so many different Bands in this era. Rolling Stones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and on and on. We were spoiled man. There is nothing like it these days. The super band era is over with, but like good classic movies, Classic Rock, is forever here on vinyl and digital recording. There is an endless supply of music from the mid 1960s to about 1983, that is what's known as "The Classic Rock" era.
Thanks fellas
We were spoiled. We wee so spoiled that it took me years to appreciate just how great The Who and The Kinks were, and also to get into Pink Floyd. They were overshadowed for me by The Beatles and Cream and Hendrix.
"There is nothing like it these days"
Edge Of Darkness (live) 2018 by Greta Van Fleet.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss."
After 9-11. The who performed this song at the concert for new York. They stole the show! Good reaction.
Great reaction lads. I think the line at the end of the song, " Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss" is just as relevant and prophetic today as it was when I first heard it live in London 50 years ago. Sad really. Nothing ever changes. :)
British rock at its best, America, eat your heart out!!!😂😂😂🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧😴
lol, you thought Daltrey's warm-up scream was *the* scream. Hehe.
Yeah! They made a big deal about the wrong scream!! Lol! Then basically ignored the right one!! Lol!
Meet the New Boss, the same as the old Boss, how True.
I was lucky enough to see the Who 4 times before either Moon or Entwistle passed away. Moon had a drum kit with about 50 cymbals in it and he had them moving all at the same time. He was beyond incredible. Entwistle was, rightfully named the most significant bass player of the 20th century because of not only his playing, but string designs as well.
The last half of this song is like a freight train that seems like it is gonna derail at any minute, but they keep somehow keep it on the track. One of their best. Keith Moon was a crazed drummer as well as a crazed person, spent his whole short life that way.
About Keith Moon, I've seen some interviews with Pete where he joked that he was more of rhythm guitarist rather than lead because Moon's drumming drove all the songs while he and Entwistle tried to keep the songs from spinning off into the orbit caused by Moon's gravitational pull.
Greatest rock band ever
The kid on the right is great. A young kid who appreciates great rock music!
Perfect song for what's going on in today's world
Absolutely right!!
Featuring probably the greatest scream in rock history . Jim Morrison of the Doors is a close second in "When The Music's Over".
My favorite Who song. I have seen them 3 times in concert.
There is an isolated bass youtube video of this song, as well as a full band video recorded at the same time (Trident Studios, 1978). Entwistle was integral to The Who's sound, and can't be replaced
I always thought 'Animal' from the Muppets was based on the legendary and late drummer from The Who, Keith Moon (God rest him, the crazy bugger).
Me too!! Animal is just like watching Keith play. Bloody brilliant
The Who made an incredible rock-opera movie called "Tommy." Everybody needs to see it at least once.
Elton John, Ann Margaret, and Oliver Reed among others.
Saw them live in 1974 at a festival in Charlton London, boy they blow your mind when you see them live got to be one of the best live bands ever
First concert to use Lasers in the light show.
The keys are a backing track when they play live .. and when they play live they are a totally different band .. one of the best live bands to ever hit a stage.
a great album from 1971, and yes the bass is incredible on this, john entwhistle was a superb bass player
One of the greatest groups ever. Saw them 2019 with 40 pc orchestra and they absolutely rocked the whole time
You need to watch them on stage playing "Young Man Blues" at the Isle Of Wight Festival 1970.
Absofuckinglutely.
Yup... that's pure Who insanity. The Who were one of the best, if not THE best, live bands of all time.
That whole concert is astonishing.
Absolutely brilliant.
Little story by the way, Keith Moon once said a band around Robert Plant would crash like a leaden balloon, that's how Led Zeppelin came about
"What was Keith Moon on?" As I understand it, pretty much everything, but especially alcohol. Man never met restraint in his life.
I've seen the Who twice, once with all members alive in my lifetime and once shortly after John Entwistle died. The first tour was specifically 'all of Quadrophenia,' which they needed a ~20-piece orchestra to do live. Their go-to drummer from that tour onward, Zak Starkey, is Ringo Starr's son, for added musical trivia.
All of Who's Next and Quadrophenia are worth diving into.
I saw them 11 times while Keith was alive. I didn’t cry over Jim, Janis or Jimi but I wept when Keith died because my favorite band was no more. When John Bonham died it wasn’t the same. Keith and John were monsters of their craft but Keith was the unpredictable loon who was likely to do anything. He pulled down the back of his pants to show us his Union Jack undies at one concert. He’d knock over stands accidentally from pure frenzy and then intentionally to wind up some shows.
It's said Keith Moon would take any drug offered him, by the handful. Ironically he died from an overdose of the medication given to alcoholics to stop drinking. He had been clean for a short bit but went to a party and indulged. After, at home he took a mass of the medication to stop the craving. It slowed his breathing & stopped his heart. Such a tragedy, he was one of the best drummers in rock n roll.
This used to be our 'go to work song' each morning.
It’s hard to believe this album came out in 1971… it’s one of the greatest rock albums ever.
Let's put a finer point on this. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is objectively the greatest rock song of all time. If there are more than 3 other rivals for that title, I'd be stunned. It's pure genius. Even its theme -- rebellion and question authority -- totally reflects the spirit of rock and roll. When Ryan luke-warmly said "I like it," I was almost offended!
😂 Well at least you guys know we give honest opinions!
@@ViewsFromThe502 Your honesty is appreciated! To be fair, it's easier for a Gen-Xer like myself to have context for The Who's genius. A Millennial hearing this song for the first time might have a hard time, on first reaction, appreciating its greatness. If you review other Who classics -- like "Love Reign O'er Me," "Baba O'Riley" or "Who Are You" -- you'll have more context for why the band is so revered by musical experts.
I like the cut of your jib.
Yes this is an epic song. Underappreciated here is Pete's timing and impeccable power chords. This is not just a good song, it's an extraordinary song.
There is also a movie based on their double album Tommy. It starts Elton John, Tina Turner, the who of course, and many many many other top stars.
Moonie played "lead drums" the way Pete Townshend played lead guitar. He was not interest in merely keeping the beat. His work on the album "Quadrophenia" is legendary.
You guys are right, he was born in London, I agree with you guys
Two more songs by The Who that you have to do: "Love Reign O'er Me", where Roger Daltrey's vocals are the star; and "The Real Me", a song driven by John Entwistle's bass. "Baba O'Riley" is another can't miss classic.
Good review.
Musically - fantastic. Lyrically - maybe even better. The song is still relevant today. Another great one by The Who is "Who Are You?".
The who is the greatest band of all time. Hands down.
I saw them live twice in Chicago and it's hard to disagree with you. 👍♥️😎
Prince hands down
@@melanierochette6052 prince is not a band and no lol
Who are they
And" WHO"..Are you.. I really want to know
Commenting on the album cover. They pissed on that block. They were asking, who’s next to piss on it.
Keith didn’t loose his mind. He was just crazy all the time.
Only Pete did. The others didn't have to go, as it were. The rest of the "urine" was rainwater poured onto the block.
While Pete did play those keyboards, on stage they played live to the prerecorded keyboard track. Keith Moon used to wear headphones to keep the band in synch with the backing track.
I love that you actually have a gong. And I love the "the stamp of approval sound effects 😁
Loren Gold has been the keyboard player for many years now. Ringo Starr's son, Zak Starkey is the current drummer,.
Top five rock band of all time!
If you haven't done it you guys should do "Love Reign O'er Me"
This album was done in 1971...not the 60's! 😊
The trance organ at the end of the song, "the hypnotised never lie" and after hypnotism "meet the new boss ..."
Thanks USA for giving the world rock n roll and the blues, English bands just gave it back ie Beatles, Stones, Led Zep, the Who, ect.
Big hello from Perth Australia 😎🖐🦘🎵🎶🎵
Great comment. Best wishes to everyone in Perth W.A.
It's Pete Townsend who slides across the stage on his knees in the live version you refer to
The Who is a badass band from way back. Im glad the young generations are listening to the best music ever made. Today is garbage.
Just a suggestion man have a listen to Nightwish
My dad introduced me to Emerson Lake and Palmer, the who, the Beatles, the Rollingstones, the Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd... And the only rock band that I liked in today's generation is from Black Veil Brides... But the other so called Rock and Roll bands doesn't Rock like back in the day and I love drums thanks to ELP... another band you guys should react... Just 3 man band and I mean 3 freaking guys rocking out
In 1973 I queued all night for tickets to see The Who at the Newcastle Odeon in England - fantastic concert - check out "Young Man Blues" at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.
You lucky bastard Phil...ha ha which night was it?
New subscriber here. Enjoy your classic rock journey, boys. For Won't Get Fooled Again, arguably the greatest rock song ever, the lyrics are still relevant today and are as important as the amazing music. It's a straight rocker that is serious social commentary. The variable sound level keyboard solo is so mesmerizing. Best vocal done by Daltrey, best guitar work of Townshend's long career (he's very underrated) and the best drumming by Moon. Entwistle's bass is always boss.
Keith Moon is the greatest drummer of all time!
Keith Moon is the greatest drummer ever
Debatable 🤔
Buddy rich John Bonham and then moon
@@andrewallen3826 Ginger Baker
@@normandavidtidiman9918 yes forgot him you're right
@@andrewallen3826 anyone hear of Neil Peart ??? read his bio on Wikipedia ...
That album “ Who’s Next”could be a “Greatest Hits “ album.
The first time I saw them on TV was as a child. They were on the Smothers Brothers show. They ended their song with Keith Moon (who had brought some dynomite and put it in his bass drum) exploding the entire set! Andy and Alex have a CZcams show that features the crazy things that Keith Moon did during their tours. I'm surprised that he lived through a few of them! It's called "Keith Moon--Crazy Rock Stories/The Who." Keith was the first in the group to die. I need to be corrected if I'm wrong, but I think it's just Pete and Roger now.
I believe that the explosion at the Smothers Brothers show caused Bette Davis to pass out backstage.
LONG LIVE THE WHO!!!! PETE, ROGER, JOHN AND KEITH. Who Are You, Love Reign Oer Me, The Real Me, Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Join Together....list goes on and on and on. Rog has always been fit.
I saw them many times live in Britain in the late1960's and 70's. The greatest rock band of them all and perhaps this is the greatest rock song of all.
Definitely watch a live video, my suggestions are Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight, Summertime Blues or Sparks from Woodstock, or anything from Tanglewood.
If you really want to see some craziness, watch their performance of A Quick One While He's Away from the Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus.
Roger put out the Greatest, most legendary Scream (yell) in Rock and roll history
I believe Mr Moon was "on" just about anything he could get his hands on
Including horse tranquilizer
Joe Walsh was asked what was the scariest thing that happened to him while touring with the Eagles. He said that it was when Keith Moon told him that I like you.
Roger Daltrey with the ethereal lead vocals, Pete Townshend with the lead guitar, who by the way wrote this and most of the Who songs, John Entwistle on the great bass and the madman drummer Keith Moon. One of the greatest bands of all time, right up there with the Beatles, Stones, Led Zep and Pink Floyd.
Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the world......EVER.
Four front men, That's the Who.
The Who is the only band ever to have a lead singer, lead guitarist, lead bassist, and lead drummer. Won't Get Fooled Again, Rock's anthem, is proof of it. The song is an anti-revolution song, in the same vein as the Beatles' Revolution.
Yeah... I apologize, I wrote also mentioned 'Revolution', missed your post (being a new subscriber). I feel the same. I also mentioned 'Street Fighting Man' of The Stones.
Queen?
Beatles?
Cream?
Led Zeppelin?
"Wall of Sound" perfected.
Used to try to hold bong hit during synthesizer solo.
Nailed it numerous times.
I just saw the LIVE version of this song on here. Wow, they all are kicking butt...Keith Moon is amazing, as is the bass player having to keep up with him. They were amazing. I miss those days...
There is a "Paul is Dead" clue in this song. The verse towards the end says "The parting on the left, is now a parting on the right." (the part in Paul's hair). "Their beards have all grown longer overnight" (the dramatic change in the look of the band. Beards to call attention away from Paul's changed face). Apparently, there are clues outside the Beatle's Lps. Just thought it was interesting.
Paul McCartney is not dead
It's a political comment
Pete Townshend wrote 95% of the songs
I saw The Who in 1981 I believe it was. In concert. Don’t remember much about it unfortunately!
Townshend’s open cord shreds are unique and unrepeatable
If you've seen any of the CSI tv shows, then you've heard a The Who song.
Jerry Bruckheimer, the legendary producer of CSI and a heap of other TV and movies, is a huge Who fan hence the band appears on a lot of his shows.
This needs to be the anthem song for those of us that got persecuted by Narcassists. An Anthem for all the Narcassist support groups
They called Keith Moon LEAD DRUMS. Only group to have the drums as the lead he was so good
I saw The Who live at Tuscaloosa, AL in about 1972. The were the most energetic band I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of them!
Producer: What’s the tempo?
The Who: Yes
Basically Keith played an entire song of fills with a few breaks and a couple of bars of beat.
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
For my money, this is the greatest rock and roll song ever recorded.
Hi guys. First time on your channel and loved it. I've seen the Who twice and they just blow you away, but its great hearing the data you provide as well. Please consider watching Stevie Ray Vaughan doing Texas Flood live at El Mocambo. I promise you it really is something special. You will see a master at work. Oh and Happy New Year from England. 🇺🇲🇬🇧🎸
Keith Moon was known as "Moon the Loon" as in lunatic.
His sanity was frequently a question for debate. That said, he was one hell of a drummer who wasn't keen on following convention.
Got to see the boys in Portland Oregon in 1978…Great show.
Keith Moon was a insane individual to put it lightly! He is one of my all time favorite drummers! -him AND Gene Kupra.
My favorite Who song is They Call me the Seeker.
I honestly think The Who are the best four-piece ever. Whose next is probably the best album but you also need to listen to Love Rain O're me
Top 5 greatest rock song ever! LOOOVVVEEEE!🙌
Just to say that is "Love Reign O'er Me" and it is superb, so you definitely have it right there!
Where in the world have you been if you never heard this before lol
You really need to see the live Shepperton Studios of this song! Keith Moons last ever gig with the band,,,,he died a few weeks later...
One of my favorite bands of all time, Townshend is a musical genius. Easily one of the greatest composers in the last 50 years. This is their Magnum Opus
Funny you say about Daltrey sounding "British". I thought he's singing with an American twang 😉
This is one rabbit hole you WANT to fall into, especially the concept albums TOMMY and QUADROPHENIA.
Moon the loon was the model for Animal off the Muppets. He drove a new Rolls into a swimming pool.
This band was great on first base.
you must watch it live!! all of the who lives are amazing!!!
l think the Muppets "Animal" character was based on Keith Moon ! 🙂
When they tour, often it is ZAK STARKEY on drums. (He's Ringo Star's son if you didn't know)
And Keith actually taught Zak!
@@gaiusvindex959 Yeah, Ringo and Keith were great pals.
Kieth Moon John Bonham Buddy Rich the holy trinity of drummers
@Barstool Prophet agree my friend it just a matter of choice Gene Krupa was also one of my drumming hero’s played with Glenn Miller a big band introduced to as a young man by my father. I guess it’s all about time and influences but I hear what you say and have no argument
Confess. The Second Scream is the Meme.
lol at the comment that the drummer is "killing it". Yes. Yes he really was "killing it" in so many ways.
Keith Moon's madness was always right on tempo!
The story goes, Jimmy Page played a tape for Keith Moon of a new band he was putting together. It's said that Moon listened to it and Page asked him, "What do you think?" Moon was less than impressed and replied, "You guys are going to go over like a lead zeppelin."
You want a drum performance? Nothing beats Theocracy " Mirror of Souls " ! No one! One of the best composed songs ever!!! You'll never know unless you check it out!
An anthem in a half!!!
Emerson Lake & Palmer - From The Beginning Ya won't regret it.
