    I always thought the Who were the purest rock'n rollers of any of the big bands, Stones always had a foot in the blues, Beatles were experimental, but as for pure raw rock n roll energy, bordering on punk enthusiasm, the Who knew how to rock at it's most primal level.

    A bit of trivia. When they taped the video for Join Together circa 1973 I went to the studio with a couple of girls and my friend John Maxted.
    There was a tap on my shoulder and Roger Daltrey is standing there and says" "Nice Jacket Mate! Can I borrow it."
    It was an army fatigue jacket which my mum had sewn a John Bull/Union Jack tea towel on the back panel (It'd burned it trying to put an iron on transfer of in).
    Well of course I said.
    And here it is. You'll see the Jacket around 3.42 when he turns around. I didn't make the cut though....Still have the jacket. He signed it. My mum washed it. Arrgggh.

      Re-watch the video, especially in the beginning-that is 100% Moon.
      And, No, Jones was nowhere near as good as moon. He was just a replacement to allow the group, as it was, to continue on, same as Ringo's kid is doing for Townsend/Daltry now. Talk about not knowing when to retire BTW. You'd think they were both Jews...I mean, they dont really need the money, and their quality is not there, and what was once 4, is now only 2. As bad as the Rolling Friggin' Stones. I guess someone will stuff them up and prop them onstage, while their music plays thru a sound-system, and call it a concert soon.

    Correction I did see about 9 seconds of John as he is the second half of the harp. It looks like the London Who fan club was invited to take part in the video. God bless the 1970s groupies. I think Pete Townsend is beyond a great guitar player. His synth work is second to none. What can be said about The Who leaves me speechless. They are the best of that time period.

    I just finished reading Roger Daltrey's book. Fascinating story. Keith Moon was hilarious from the outside but a total nightmare for anyone close to him or trying to work with him. He cost the band a fortune. John Entwistle was very dark and moody and had a mean streak. Pete Townshend was a volatile creative genius and he knew it. Roger had the toughest working class background working in a factory and was fighting to escape from it. He had the strongest work ethic and avoided the drugs. Unlike most bands, with the Who it was the lead singer and front man who man both feet most firmly planted on the ground. Roger was the anchor that kept the ship steady all those years.

      Maybe , but Pete Townnsend cartainly was an inspired msucian who kept the WHO running even after Daughtry left . I never saw "the who". the one time I could have(the Its Hard tour 1982), I traded for a two week party and about 14 grams of nearly pure cocaine , which corrupted about 50 people and was a ton of fun . Did I make the right decision ? I still don't know. But missing the Who , remains as the only Wood Stock band, I ever missed. Never miss a band who was at Wood Stock, I learned that well , over the years. And If I get the bucks, I do want to see them "Live at Leeds" as they promised after this covid-flu bull is over with.

It was actually Townshend who wanted to stop touring in 1982 and become a studio group, and a year later he quit the band and the Who ended, except for periodic reunions, until they reformed in 1996.

      +Brock Landers He did play an Alembic on occasion, but in this video it's clearly a Thunderbird. Look at the video at the 1:00 mark to get a good look at it and compare it to pictures of Thunderbird basses at the Gibson website. Also, at the 1:15 mark when he comes on with the bass line you can hear the characteristic strong fundamental and ringing sustain of the notes, due to the Thunderbird's stiff multi-ply neck thru design. I have my Gibson Thunderbird sitting next to me right here and I've just finished practicing some bass lines. I'm considering getting a fretless Alembic Europa or fretless Warwick Thumb bass sometime in the future when I get my bass chops down better.

      +Yamaha 26003 There are different versions of the Thunderbird that Gibson makes. The Gibson Thunderbird has a narrow and fast 9 -ply mahogany and walnut neck-thru laminate construction, switchable MM style multi tap hum bucker pickups with Alnico V pole pieces, a thick rosewood fretboard and a Babicz FCH aluminum bridge. The bass is PLEKed at the factory for very uniform fret height. I was able to set my neck relief and string action much below what Gibson specified, with the effect that the already fast neck is extremely fast and easy to play and I'm beginning to lose some of the callouses that I had built up from playing with a higher action setup before. I did upgrade the stock Gibson Tektoid nut for a custom cut bone nut, for greater sustain and tuning stability. These basses are going for about $2200 now at Guitar Centers.
      Gibson also sells its Epiphone line of the Thunderbird. It's quite a bit less expensive but from what I've read it seems to be a good value.

      I think it's interesting how so often, people consider their musical tastes as the best. Not to be critical to you guys or The Who. It's just interesting that you could put that very comment after a Maralyn Manson song, or a Bach piece and you'd get the exact same response. It's not bad. Just interesting.

    Every time I play this video, I get such a kick out of watching Keith Moon.

    Words can't describe it. I listened to this song before football practice in 1972. It was inspirational.

    First time I heard Join Together, I was 16 learning English in Oxford. Since then I have been a fan of the Who. And I finally saw them in stage in Washington DC in 2000. My dream had finally come true. Even though Keith was long gone. But it was Zak Starr at the drums. Ringo's son.
