Jesus. This has to be one of the best performances by any band ever. Just insane intensity. Visceral.
Nothing beats this performance in music.
this song still rings true today
Your high out of your mind lmaooo. Go to an insane clown posse concert. Tell me that isn't wild. This shits a joke lmaooo
As the OX just stands by equipment, that is what I do , holding down the Low End
My friends Dad said I needed to move around , I just stood like the OX
The Who is my 80 year old father's absolute favorite band, so I've been listening to them for 50 years.
Whenever I'm with him and The Who is on the radio or playing anywhere. He says " do you know who this is?". Then I say "who?". He thinks it's hilarious every single time. Dad jokes. It's so Abbott and Costello.
John is like that cool babysitter watching three hyperactive kids.
LOL
Thank you
RIP John - you left too soon.
The dudes hands were hyperactive!
Entwistle was a bass god
The WHO has to be one of the greatest group of musicians ever. 2024
Sadly this was Keith Moons last performance. We will always treasure the epic drummer
Addiction sucks, takes so many good people to an early grave.
An iconic drummer, no doubt about it! #RIPKeith
It never fails to astound me how John Entwistle makes the most intricate and complex bass lines look so effortless!
he always looks so 'ho hum' about what he's playing!
John's isolated bass vid for Won't Get Fooled Again on here is sublime.
He is the absolute master! I also like Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead who is also a master, some similarities, but less 'rock'!
It was John who got me into the bass......thanks, John!
I'm a bassist of 45 years.
His stuff isn't that intricate and or hard to play.
It's his phrasing (if you know what that is) his tone, his attack, that for me, set's him above the rest..
His tone was so dynamic. It covered the spectrum.
He fingers were very long, he had piano player fingers that were made of flexible steel..
I met him once, shook his hand, showed him my Alembic.
His hand wrapped around the neck and my hand - twice.
Never be another like him..
Absolutely! John Entwistle, the bassist for The Who, was often referred to as "The Ox" because of his sturdy stage presence and seemingly unshakeable demeanor. But beneath that calm exterior was a whirlwind of creativity and technical prowess.
Entwistle revolutionized the role of the bass in rock music. Before him, bass was often relegated to the background, simply providing rhythm and foundation. Entwistle, however, approached the bass as a lead instrument, crafting intricate lines that were both rhythmically complex and melodically rich.
A few characteristics that made his style unique include:
Lead Bass Approach: He often played solos and intricate fills, complementing Pete Townshend's rhythm guitar.
Tone: He had a treble-heavy tone, allowing his bass lines to cut through the mix and be clearly audible.
Finger Technique: Instead of the more common fingerstyle or slap techniques, he often used a plectrum (pick), which gave his playing a distinctive sound.
Harmonics: Entwistle was known for using harmonics in his bass lines, adding a unique sonic texture.
Songs like "The Real Me," "Baba O'Riley," and "My Generation" showcase his innovative bass work. Despite his impressive technical abilities, he never seemed to break a sweat on stage, making everything look utterly effortless. For many bass players and music enthusiasts, John Entwistle remains a significant influence and one of the greatest bassists in rock history.
7:37 to 7:56. Keith Moon's drum solo, Roger Daltrey's scream, Pete Townshend's knee slide and John Entwistle's backstep :). All in 20 seconds. What a band! What a gas!
While at it, are Pete's trousers torn between the legs?
Marko Marjanović not sure, but his jacket is definitely torn in the right armpit for obvious reasons
The backstep, LOL 😂
😂
😂
The greatest 20 seconds in Rock history!
Fatih Güler great now I have tears in my eyes
Entwistle's bass bravado is not only sublime, its legendary.
Amazing
What the rest of the Who does with their entire bodies, The Ox does with only his fingers.
Pete talked in a recent-ish interview about John’s bass being like Bach fugues, sending kaleidoscopic harmonies into the air so all Pete had to do was punctuate rhythmically. It’s the complete opposite of all other bands where the bass plays the root and the guitarist solos. What a genius unrepeatable setup was The Who.
The scream at the end gives me chills. The best rock n roll sound clip of all time hands down.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scream makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck . didnt used to until you said it gave you chills
"We couldn't make records as good as The Beatles, but we could blow them off the stage." -- John Entwistle
I AM SURE THEWHO COULD DO BOTH
Read an article where Paul said they wrote ‘helter skelter’ as a retort to the Who’s blistering music. 1-1 draw I reckon.
@@donjohns4878 Yes there was an element of parody on the White Album. "Back in the USSR" was Beach Boys, at least the harmonies.
The Who blew The Beatles and The Stones in live performances at any day.
I'd say they blow them off the stage and write vastly superior music, but that's just my opinion.
A frontman marching in place while belting out notes and words and twirling a microphone.
A guitarist bouncing around and windmilling like a human cartoon.
A drummer exploding like a mad conductor over the kit.
A bassist barely moving while playing blistering licks like it’s nothing.
The Who were, are and will always be amazing.
amen
Who is playing the keyboards?
AlexZander It’s actually a pre-recorded synthesizer section programmed by Pete Townshend himself.
I would love to get the sheet music or notations for the synth part
YES 4 guys all playing lead.....😎🎶🎵🎶🎵
Pure energy and pure class! The tightest band of all time and all four of them were absolutely masters
The energy from this lot could power the National Grid.
LOL!!!!!
You know their original name was Net Zero?
John’s bass is like a manic wand of bliss
Paul Eames and my cat
A lot of his tone during the Who Are You years had to do with him playing custom Alembics with on-board pre-amps. He later switched to graphite Modulus Buzzards when he had his own band, The John Entwistle band. During this time, and his last days playing with The Who, John was using three Ashdown RPM1 preamps and three PM1000 power amps, feeding 3,000 watts into 2 pairs of Ashdown ASS115 and ASS212 cabinets. So, considering most bassists nowadays use 300w-500w, John certainly earned his nickname Thunderfingers. In the Who's earlier days, he was using 200w when pretty much every other bassist used a mere 50w. The dude was insanely technical and always pushing the boundaries but then again, he did like to drink Irish whiskey out wine glasses.
Yeah. He really knows how to get the listener off, in fact they all do. Because this is one big rock and roll orgasm.
He is giving those strings an exercise 🤘
Can we just pause for a moment to appreciate that amazing video quality?!
Yes! I was thinking the same thing. It looks modern.
This was filmed with a multi-camera pro setup for the movie "The Kids Are Alright". If you haven't seen the movie, check it out. You'll be amazed.
@@notanotheraccount Been wondering how they did it. It's like they traveled through time to play a concert filmed in HD! Thanks!
It's film, not video.
Have seen/listened to this vid many many times (who here hasn't?) and it's always amazed me how good the image quality is, but only this evening after you've mentioned it have I noticed that it's actually been uploaded in 4K and i'm astonished my bandwidth has been able to cope with for all this time!
Four unbelievable talents on one stage
Then add in the revolutionary lyrics and it’s an atom bomb 💪🏻👍🏻🙏
Keith moon was one of them drummers you could never take your eyes off of, you had to watch every single beat solo he did he was so good, R.I.P to the guy
I love how Keith Moon has his headset taped onto his head with gaffer tape. He was the one and only.
Could it B Duct Tape ??
LOL'S
No Disrespect Keith .
RIP
i always wonder why keith needs the headset , when the rest of the lads play with the sync track just fine .
How didn't I notice that until I read your comment?
Sadly, I think that was the very last performance he ever gave
@@paulkelly5463 It was. Also I think I saw in some interview that his timing was all over the place, and hence be needed the headphones for this performance.
This is 50 years old. And it makes this old man feel damn young.
This performance is one of the greatest ever.
The Townshed “Power Slide” Is THE definition of Rock and Roll.
Entwistle is such a beast. Doesn’t move, just shreds
He is a beast but it's not "shredding". That's a metal term. It's just total control and understanding his instrument completely.
The Ox!
John Entwistle is just up there living his best life.
someones gotta babysit the others
Nope...he's looking over the other three saying "It's going to be a LONG night...somebody has to babysit these three"...LOL
I've always admired Entwistle's ability to look so relaxed even when he was totally tearing up the bass. He could be putting on a hell of a performance, and it looks effortless because he has this expression like he's watching a weather report.
Probably cause of all the downers 😂 he was crazy talented though
So true. If you ever listen to The Ox's isolated bass tracks from recordings like these - you will certainly hear just how much and how hard he is playing.
Yep, he let the music do the talking. Fun to watch him play.
Thats his concentrating face, all his energy is going into the music!
@@muzzaball Came here to mention the isolated track. All his counter rhythms to Moon's drumming are ridiculous.
What a greeeeeat performance of One of the best songs ever. THE WHO Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!
To be young in 1978, see this live. My god, what an amazing moment to exist in and experience. I was born in 1986. I’m now older than Roger was when they recorded this performance. For the first time I’m seeing them as young men, and it makes me cry a bit. I’m so glad this moment in time exists on film, to live on and on after we’re gone.
I was a teen at a WHO concert in '78 and I couldn't see anything. Even though I'm tall, I still couldn't see anything. The crowd was just in too much of a frenzy. I was on the floor and even though I was closer than people up in the seats, I'm sure they saw more than I did. Still, I'm so glad I was there!
@@user-kh6oq9oe6t They didn't tour in 1978. 79?
i was at wembley when these were there 78 . all time fave band and ive seen about 500 in my time
It's really hard to believe this is 45 years ago! The younger kids just don't know what they're missing.
I was 15 in 1976!❤ Crazy, good, wild memories- all of them attached to Rock & Roll❤ Thank You for reminding me... it was a Epic Gift!❤
I have lost count of the number of times I have watched this. It truly is the ultimate rock performance.
Truly is a must see performance
Me as well.. I remember watching this on M TV ,and all other WHO videos .. I was in High School during the "Shlitz Rocks America" tour of The Who... ;)
I never get tired of The Who. There’s great bands and then there’s magic.
This is my first time seeing the video and I am Middle AGED. YES, I know the song but the video plus the song is amazing. WOW
Looks like 17 million times 🎉
John Enwhistle was the coolest bass player of all rockn roll
Hallelujah
Thunder fingers

@@heavensdoor844 he's good and all, but john was on of the original and raw lead bassist
John Entwistle is so talented. He’s the reason why I’m learning bass!!!!
What a line-up, thunder fingers, moon the loon, Townsend, and the brilliant Roger
From Oz... 😁
OMG! Whole band dialed in on this one. Perfect !
Entwistle’s bass on this is so……..massive, monumental, mesmerizing, *BRILLIANT!!!*
John is looking on and wondering what these other jokers have been doing in their off time.
i love entwistle so much 😭 the wise sage camel of these wild boys, gotta love it
i recall watching a bunch of live covers by pearl jam and a friend pointed out how much their bass player was sweating. "if you look at john entwisle playing these same parts, he looks like a bored office worker filling in yet another form". damn right, and it's hilarious!
yes,,it's so fast and no stress in him..brillent
Thunderfingers
"Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." Brilliant lyric. Brilliant song.
Yep
Still true and relevant 40+ years later. Every working class person knows and feels that line in their bones.
And, unfortunately, all too true.
One of the best song lyrics ever in my opinion and we all know exactly how true it is.
they stuck to em
Pete & Roger are like perfectly timed cheerleader’s the way they move together in unison, so visually appealing. What a GREAT band!
I see Rog looking quite the cheerleader with curly locks and twirling his mic, sure, but then I see Pete like a new-born giraffe on acid
Too bad they hated each other
The most underrated Band of the 60ies...
Every Band member is a HERO ............
Seriously......
I'm 70!! Damn! Got chills at the beginning!! Oh so very very sad that this brilliant genuine kind of music is in our past!
I'm 71 was my favourite group in the sixties, still love them
I'm close to that. I find it interesting listening to the words again now. It seems we're still getting fooled, the new boss was the same as the old boss! Time for a real change.
I'm pushing 50, feeling more like 90 and acting more like 12.............
I think it's so very *Brilliant* that this genuine kind of music is in our past, just think if it had never been, that makes me sad. 😥
Não tá no passado e um clássico
Music atemporal 😂🎉
Pete: I chugged three energy drinks before coming onstage
John: I am a tree
I think you mean snorted coke
No I think John would say 'I Am Groot'
@@dylanrice8341 you mea pete
@@mikeyaggams1130 dude thinks your talking about pete
@@3Bernie yes I think he took a little more than energy drinks
I saw The Who for the first time in 1975 at age fifteen. I was blown away. Completely. The next year they didn't play Atlanta but I heard they were playing in Jacksonville at the Gator Bowl. Me and my buddy decided we had to see the show. This was summer of '76. So we told his mom he was going camping with my family and I told my mom I was going camping with his family. Lol. And we got out on I-85 and started hitch hiking our way to Jacksonville. Our first ride was some guys in a Camaro from St. Louis. They were cool as shit. A cooler of beer in the back seat and some ganga. They drove us all the way to Jacksonville. Saw the show and made it back home on Sunday night just in time. God Bless those guys in the Camaro. Lol.
WOW! Pure energy straight from the beginning. You won't find ANYTHING like this now!
MEET THE NEW BOSS
SAME AS THE OLD BOSS
The best lines ever written in all of rock.
I sing it everyday...
And so current.
@@laportama Yes we are being fooled again but with a shocking outcome! :)
@@mike-fj4vd yessss
The parting on the left is now a parting on the right
Shockingly good, amazing, before my time but this is a whole new level for me. The vision, the lyrics, the fresh and rawness, Masterclass in talent and ability.
“Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.” 🎸
I could watch each one of them for a whole concert and never get bored. They were so ecclecting and different between them. Each one was a frontman. AWESOME.
Agree completely. They were all massively talented and interesting performers. That's one reason why I always tried to catch my favorite bands as often as possible. One show I could focus on the guitar player; the drummer during the next gig, etc.
Love it how John Entwistle was the lone sane man as far as his position on stage yet just as wild on the fret board as the rest of them.
And yet he was the biggest party animal out them all !!
RIP THE OX
John was by far the best musician in this band.
@@tonypowell250 Helps being the greatest bassist ever.
About to say the same thing lol
Townsend was a great rhythm guitarist. Entwistle was the masterful lead bass player.
Can we talk about how amazing this looks in 4K, being that this was recorded in 1978? This is really impressive, it's like it was recorded yesterday
They remastered the video
it's called editing...
probably was filmed on a 35mm
@@bananer9300 no, it's called film restoration, it has nothing to do with editing
The beauty of film.
Happy 80th Birthday Roger!
Pete Townsend is really feeling what he's playing - what fun to watch in a concert!
You speak the truth! Mary...That little arm-dance strut at 5:46,🤗and then looking up at the Guitar Gods at 6:26; oh he's having way too much fun here!🎸And let's not forget him (Pete) sliding on into home base at 7:48, as The Ox all casual like, steps back like it's just bizzness as usual........... 💫
At minute 7:50, the whole world stops spining.. one of the most epic moments in rock.
Seeing The Who way back when (pretty close to the stage) I knew the yell was coming and still almost peed myself a little. lol Loudest concert ever.
You can't rehearse that. The true definition of synchronicity ❣❣❣🎶🎵🎤🎶
👍😆🥳
And the last minute they’d ever play with Moon on drums
Totally 100% agree mate
Jesus Christ! There’s not one current musical act that is in the same solar system as this! This is epic
and will still be epic in 1000 years!

The BEST! ❤
One of the greatest rhythm sections ever.
I love it! Pete and Roger are jumping around like crazy men (we all know Keith was indeed crazy) and John is just calmly strutting those incredible bass chords like he's just brushing his teeth in the morning! Damn how fun this is!!!!
He isn't playing any chords.
@@Silenceeify at the end or is it just intervals.
That pretty much describes The Who in one sentence.
U saw Townsend in very good spirits. When he is pissy, if ur close enough u see this = don't get that performance. Yes 1 of the best live performances of that song.
@@devintariel3769 Yes, he is actually playing some chords in the end. I only noticed it now.

Last time they played together before Moon took the big leap
This might just be the best piece of rock and roll footage on the planet.
Yeah, I agree, it is fantastic. Moon is magnificent and he had just a couple of months or so to live, not that he knew that, of course.

One of the greatest Rock songs ever.
Even after 50 years it still stands!!!
This song is on my favorite list
@@GREG62944 I'm still awake now this sound has got going,. My dad dead now got me into Tommy
What a bought free me
Keith Moon was with us for far too short a time. He is one of the great rock drummers of all time. So intense and essential to the sound.
The band was built around him and progressed with him, there's no replacement for Keith Moon no matter what their resume is. The Who found that out and later admitted to the reality of it.
Absolutely. Keith Moon's frenetic drumming style was a foundational element of The Who's sound. His approach to the drums was unlike anything seen before in rock music. Here are some characteristics and contributions of Keith Moon's unique style:
Chaotic Energy: Moon's drumming was known for its wild, unrestrained energy. He often seemed to be on the edge of losing control, yet always managed to stay in the pocket.
No Traditional Beat: Unlike many rock drummers of his era who kept a steady backbeat on the snare, Moon often eschewed this entirely, filling measures with rapid tom-tom rolls, cymbal crashes, and unexpected accents.
Lead Drumming: Much like John Entwistle's approach to the bass, Moon played the drums as if they were a lead instrument, always pushing forward and rarely settling into a traditional rhythm section role.
Destructive Flair: Off the kit, Moon was famous for his destructive antics, from trashing hotel rooms to exploding drum kits on stage. This same energy translated into his drumming.
Influence: Despite (or perhaps because of) his unconventional style, Moon has influenced countless drummers across genres. His refusal to be confined to traditional drumming roles expanded the possibilities of what rock drumming could be.
Moon's untimely death in 1978 at the age of 32 was a significant loss to the music world. While his time with us was short, his legacy is enduring. Many consider him not just one of the greatest rock drummers, but one of the most iconic figures in rock history.
Moon was definitely a great part of the ensemble, but Bonham and , Charlie Watts, and Ringo Starr were at least as good, and Ginger Baker towered over them all...
I was lucky enough to meet Keith on this tour RIP KEITH ❤
Nope, they were mostly just time keepers. Moon had too much originality and flair for that. He was a true artist.
I was just a young pup in grammar school when this Who song was playing on the A.M. radio. I remember laying in my bed at night jamming to this song! This 60-yr-old still jams to it after all these years! Just another reminder that classic rock keeps us all young!
Yeah, and I never saw them live. Yt has its value
Okay kids listen up! This is what a REAL rock song sounds like!!
This song in general, is the pinnacle of everything Rock n Roll period! The scream, the slide, the atmosphere. Everything! It will never get any better than this right here. Ladies and gentlemen.
Totally agree
Couldn’t disagree more, if you want the pinnacle of Rock n Roll, the atmosphere, the performance, watch Led Zeppelin at the Royal Albert Hall in 1970. Nothing gets better than that, that is as so good, even Zeppelin we’re never as good as that again.
Zeppelin was a cover band.
Don't forget Keith's tiny drum solo leading up to it!!
@@JohnSmith-vk8cm lol you're a cover band. The first 5:albums was one of the most incredible strings ever put together.....ever!

Yes BUT - WHY has this channel ruined it at the end with graphics/adsfor other songs/bands? They should show Keith coming over drums and embracing Pete. It is after all Keith's last pubic performance. And would show him some respect.
Greatest rock song? Uh? Not in the top 10.
@@whatwouldiknow1759 Yeah, its a great song, but not top 10, but I love it!
7:54 this picture should literally be in the rock and roll hall of fame.
I know right
Without even clicking on the time stamp I already knew what you were talking about.
I was talking to a friend a while back and said the Stones were the biggest band of the late-sixties and seventies, but the iconic photo of that time was Daltry swinging the mike in the fringed leather jacket looking, as Pete said, like a furry little animal and the rest of the band in their usual positions, and Nirvana was the biggest band of the early and mid-nineties, but the iconic photo of that time is Eddie wrapped around the mike with his eyes bulging-out. Or maybe not, ...
Funny you should say that. I saw this for the first time in a video they played when you first arrive at the hall.
Oh, FUCK YES, brother.
I was 12 in 1984 and saw this clip for the first time. It was the most incredible thing I'd ever seen. 40 years later, the 52 year old me still gets the same adolescent excitement as I did back then. ❤
The Greatest rock song ever made! Rest In Peace John and Keith❤
Ever notice how no one ever says, “That band reminds me of The Who”? The Incomparable!
I always point that out to people. Led Zeppelin is the opposite, both still amazing.
Actually, yes, a few obscure bands from the 70s seem to sound like the who to some people, zerfas, pluto, pretty things, ananta.
Yeha like everytime people ask "who does that band remind you of?" they get their remembrance.
That's because they were such monsters on their instruments and they couldn't be duplicated
Pearl Jam used to get it quite a bit.
John Entwistle must be the designated driver.
He looks like he's ready to hurl at any moment
literally true that :-)
The only one who hasn't got ADHD
Seeing as how he died, I wouldn't bet on that.
No, he was just on downers... which unfortunately is what lead to his untimely death at such a later age...
This was just one of my generations bands.. There were many great bands around at that time....we were very lucky ...and i miss those great day's...but at least you can come on here and see them as they were back then....❤👍
Daltrey’s yell after the drum solo is the most electrifying moment in rock.
Had the good fortune of seeing this performance live in 1977. It was as good as it seems. I also lost about 30% of my hearing... permanently. It may have been worth it. Keith Moon passed a couple years later. Surprising and sad. Greatest rock drummer, IMO.
How did you get in?
actually, this was 1978 and Keith Moon died like five months later
Not a brag believe me, but they were top of the bill at the Oxford School of Architecture May Ball - part of the then Poly……..in 1970…….my ears are still ringing and the pleasure remains undiminished. Better still two months later they were in Bath where I lived………was I lucky ???!!!?!?!
My idiot friend I was with said “ let’s get down the front near the speakers “ pardon 😊😊😊
About 20% of mine. Same thing. Audiologist, looking at the wavy lines, smile on his face and honestly said, "Classic Baby Boomer Woodstock hearing loss!"
My favorite quote about the who was from one of the oasis brothers.....something to the effect of "they were all playing lead weren't they? Daltrey was lead vocals, Pete was lead guitar, Keith was playing lead drums and John was playing lead bass.
@Your Dad possibly....lol
Yes they were all leaders!!!
Yep thats about it
Near to the point is that they were all exceptional in their fields. In most other bands, each individual would have stood out because of their brilliance. In The Who they simply blended together. The sum of their parts is greater than their components.
Pete when asked about how they get their sound, we just turn up everything louder than everthing else
Still the greatest rock performance ever. Perfection in power, feel, and style.
They were simply enjoying it...gutteral...raw...pure...rock!!
Entwistle...the greatest lead guitar player who ever played bass guitar
7:37-7:56 is one of the best pieces of rock n' roll cinematography ever recorded
This was the very first use of a live laser show onstage, no other bands had it, and I saw this tour, saw that exact effect, and it was as impressive then as you see here. When they used it during "See Me, Feel Me" it was jaw dropping.
Absofuckinlutely
PREACH!!!
@@outerrealm - Hard to argue with that.
and so truth these days!!!!!
Bass playing was the backbone of the band , bass powerhouse.
I remember seeing them do this just before Keith Moon died. I was blessed to see them one last time altogether
As a bassplayer, I wish John hadn't made his extraordinary playing seem quite so effortless!
I would say the same thing about Geddy Lee, and Jason Newsted, and Steve Harris. But then again, that's how great they were. To me, IMHO, they are the three greatest bass players of all time. Whoever you think is best is up to you. I'd pick a Geddy first, then Steve, and then Jason. But, that's only my opinion.
It's not just bass players. Top musicians in general. Watching Richie Blackmore's left hand makes me want to cut my fingers off. How can he move his fingers that fast?
@@michaelmorgan4408 I agree.
As a drummer I feel the same way about Keith. He was a maniac, but damn... could he play!
train insane amount and it is easy for you too, imagine if people used those hours wasted on CS, WOW and runescape to create bands?
Years of loving this song! Hearing it again in Top Gun Maverick during the dogfight training brought me the biggest smile!
I know!,
Shit, I might have to go see the movie now.
Came here bc of this! Loved that scene
YES!!! Completely unexpected and totally blew me away when I heard it! And on my children's lives, I swear to God I just happened to be wearing one of my several Who t-shirts at the time!
@@tomatden trust, it’s amazing
You cannot get more iconic than this.
what a song!!!
Omg the quality, I absolutely love this
bad sound
@@RemoVegas what's bad about it? sounds fantastic to me :)
Townsend’s slide across the stage by the greatest shot in rock n roll history in my book
I've always thought that
The secret to Pete's success: knee pads
Haha yeah, fucking love that bit
Yes, but totally staged - not from the actual performance. Still, All HAIL the Who!
@@marksloan7438 Sure, knee pads, and plenty of 'vitamin C' ? One can often tell, when they're watching a rock band during that 'coked up' era.
I'm 70 and I have loved The Who from the first time I heard The Kids Are Alright. I thought then and still do that they were a band of leads - Keith playing lead drums, John playing lead bass, Pete playing lead guitar and Roger as lead singer holding the whole thing together. I never got to see them live, but I've worn out their albums. Live At Leeds is one of the best live albums ever.
I am 63 and have loved this group and I so agree with you! All Leads! Spectacular songs and stage presence!
I'm 50 and been listening to them since I could hear lol..
You rock!!!
I'm like you brother. I'm 70. To freaking cool 😎😎
Maximum r&b
It's said that John once picked up Thor's hammer and gave it to him saying, "I think you dropped this. "
You don’t see energy like this anymore. Lead singer, lead drummer, lead guitarist, lead bassist.
All 4 have super power talent!
Nothing ever better!
Well put, friend.
yes, this is the best
And tape machine...
Keith Moon's duct taped headphones on his head. Priceless. RIP Keith
That had to hurt like hell ripping that stuff off --- but Keith was a total maniac so it made sense
Is awesome why he tape to head I guess so cant fall off - mad fucker!
The master that is Keith Moon - conjuring drum beats with his magic sticks with the concentration of a wizard creating a spell.
The purest musician behind a set of drums there has ever been.
Thank you The Who for helping me feel ok with my feelings
Anyone else get serious goosebumps and a shiver down their spine when it's "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH" time?
If you do not, you are dead.
That’s my favorite part of the song. Every time I watch this clip I always wonder if Roger Daltry is wearing his little sister’s shirt!!!!
100%! No matter how many times I watch it, it gives me chills.
yep...pretty much every time!
only for the last 40 years...
7:50 Is the epitome of Rock and Roll.
You wait for it...wait for it...YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!🤘
Yup. Long live Keith and John!
You know they actually had to play this again to get that right? They played this twice.

@@christopheryasus3666 amen
Brilliant from ‘The Kids are alright’ movie of the Who, I saw them in 2009, incredible ❤
Wow, there are so many drums!
This was my dad's favorite song, he passed in 2019. I come back to this song after years of not hearing it and wanting ways to still connect with my father. He went to 5 shows by post Keith and always told me there will never be another live band like The Who. What a song, what a performance, and what an era for music! Love ya pops hope you're still rocking out to this.
Precioso.salud❤😢
RIP, a man of absolutely fantastic taste!!
Your father was spot on!!!! I hope he is with the Lord!
Sympathy on your Dad s passing away I don't have mine also we hang on to their good teachings and love 😊❤️
your dad had good taste in music
BEST scream in rock history, hands down!!!!
lol....do you even have ears?
Studio version
I saw them the other day in Portland. John Bonham can still totally do the scream
I saw them in march and he screamed much longer 😂
@@Amy_Co are you thinking of Rodger Daltry? John Bohnam has been dead for a while😂
These guys will still be appreciated in 100 years as the geniuses they were.
Its hard for any band to last a year and a day...This lot have done 50 years so far...Who are they...They are made in England...They have conquered the world....They are brilliant musicians, Mates and Grafters that they came from nothing ....And they will be listened to and Rocked to in outer space in a thousand years time....One of the best all time rock Bands ever....Thank you guys from my heart and soul for all of your music that you have gifted to the world and beyond...
This is a real rock band. There haven't been many that compare to The Who, back then or today.
NONE.
There were a few. Zeppelin, Purple, Foghat, Tull, Aerosmith... etc.
The Who blew all of them off the stage….
😩 I'm gonna be sad when this generation of bands/musicians finally pass away! Cause this was the actual music back when they had talent no autotune bs or anything!
@@Tessmage_Tessera the first two were peers, sure, after that you have to be kidding
Dictionary definition of "rock and roll": THIS
Sure!!!!!!
