Do you need to check out the video from the smothers? Brothers variety show the who we're on that. You might want to look it up. I could try to look it up for you. You'd be surprised what they do.
That dance he's doing? My guess would be the Benzedrine Boogie.
@Reno_Slim IT looks like the benzodiazapam shuffle , I'm fkn awesome At it ,
so this song or bits of it were used i think in one of the CSI shows or a similar crime drama
so likely thats where you heard bits of it before..
I'm sure Pete will like the fact you called him n.g.r. really
John Entwhistle is so underrated. Yes, Pete and Roger are trying to outdo each other, but John on the bass is just killing it.
Townshend and Moon get the credit they deserve, but Entwhistle is hardly ever mentioned and Daltry was one of the greatest rock frontmen ever IMO.
He doesn't get much "air time' in the videos...but he's generally on everyones list as either the number 1, 2 or 3 greatest bass players of all time.
@@dansmedstadmediaand to top it off, The Ox was the lead guitarist of the band even though he was the bass player
The Ox is in no way under rated by any bass players.
Underrated by who? The guy has been in the top 5 of every rock bassist list ever published in the last fifty years.
I am so happy I was a teenager in the 70's. So much great music.
Yes!...
Ain't that the truth! One great band after another.
No doubt about it.
It was fantastic.
The best time for rock and roll!!
Another of my favorite groups. The drummer, Kieth Moon, was a legendary wild man. Joe Walsh said of him, “One of the most terrifying things that ever happened to me was that Keith Moon decided he liked me.”
😂❤
Keith Moon was the inspiration for the Muppets' drummer, Animal.
Can you imagine going for a drink with Keith and his buddy Oliver Reid???? Legends
The Who. One of the best bands ever. So glad I grew up in the 70s. ❤
With ya🥁🥁🥁
Daltry was one of the hottest, most impressive, most talented rock gods that has ever lived.
Damn straight!
POLO, you nailed it....The WHO was the greatest Rock & Roll group ever....there are more songs, & once you hear them all, you will know this...
The drummer is also on the list as being one of the best ever! Keith Moon
Moon the loon!
The Who is arguably the grestest live rock band of all time.
Best & the loudest...
I wouldn't argue with that....
I seen the stones, u2 Floyd, roger water doing the wall, the dead , the cult , aerosmith, van halen, bon jovi and about 200 other rock bands i have even seen the who do Tommy with an all star cast including Elton. But los angeles kids are alright tour 100,000 people at rhe coliseum. It was the loudest, rowdest craziest show i have ever seen. BEDT BAND OF ALL TIME
If you’ve seen any of the CSI tv shows you’ve heard The Who’s music. It was used for the opening and closing credits sequences. This song was one of them.
This one was on The NY shows
The "Scream" heard around the world!😊
Also great to hear them in Top Gun Maverick. When we saw it in the cinema and the training scene came up, and Don't Get Fooled Again kicked in, my wife looked at me, knowing I would have a big grin and clenched fist 🤜
Rodger Daltry also starred in an episode of one of the csi's.
The 2006 episode was called "Living Legend" and he played mob boss Mickey Dunn. He did a great job. @@markscott4420
Well I'm a Boomer...and we had the best music ever! They are legends!
"We're all wasted....."
Great reaction! The Who were a top level, monster band in the earlier days of rock and roll. I saw them do this live 50 years ago and it was fantastic.
" I don't need to fight to prove I'm right. I don't need to be forgiven " All is said...
The best line in music. Maybe the best line possible.
Honestly, Polo all 4 could sing.
The bassist sang on several tracks, including "Boris The Spider" and all 4 sang on "Who Are You"
Don’t forget “My Wife”!
well, keith, well he could sing about as well as I can. 😂 but his drumming is incomparable!
@@wdrauchI haven't forgotten her, man she was damn good. LOL
@@bdr32965🤣
Unfortunately, "Boris The Spider" sux. "My Wife" is way better.
The live version is way more fun, but the studio version has a lot better audio quality.
Agreed. Only chiming in cause it seems like everyone else is in unison saying the live version is better…..I like the studio version better (for this particular tune)
@@davidaldridge5716me too
I dislike live performances. The audio quality, the timing, and each individual band member making up their own version all contribute to a poor experience, imho.
@@susancurry5224 It depends on the band. In general, I agree with you, but I saw the Bangles live and it was the best live performance I ever saw. They were incredibly tight, did a lot of improvising, and actually sounded better than their albums. Other great live performances I saw were The Carpenters, Gordon Lightfoot, Cat Stevens, Prince, The Dixie Chicks, and Sonny and Cher.
@@srellison561 okay, I can get behind that. Living in a very rural area limits my ability to attend live performances and I have to depend on CZcams uploads for the experience. So I’m not well versed.
What a bass tone. John's bass is like electric power lines zapping you. I miss John and Keith. RIP
My Mum met Moon the Loon during the filming of Quadrophenia in Brighton. She adored him
I'll bet somewhere deep inside, the hotels and their bathrooms miss them too!😂
Oops, wrong button. . . Two songs: Won't Get Fooled Again, live, from the SAME concert. it's the best. With the best scream in R&R history. And 'Love, Reign O'er Me', studio version. Roger Daltrey isn't just a powerful singer, he's one of the best, and those two songs will show it. And make sure you notice the bass player, esp. on the first of the etwo. These guys are special.
Live is great but the studio version includes an iconic violin performance on the outro of this song . Brilliant.
I'm 57 years old. Not quite a boomer, that is, someone that was a teenager in this era. I'm a Gen X'er. But I had older brothers and because of them, I can listen to 1950's Rock up to Queens Of The Stone Age, as an example. With that said, I'm going to say something extremely sacrilegious: I prefer The Who to The Beatles. All day. Everyday.
Same age, same “sacrilegious” thought 😂
I'm a little older and I agree 100%.
The Who aged well compare to the Beatles IMO
56 and completely agree
@@JamesKP17847 Respectfully, as a Gen X'er, They both sounded somewhat antiquated to me, especially The Beatles. The Stones less so. But The Who always sounded more edgey to me ...more of a Rock N Roll band. I think Pete Townsend is a far more superior guitarist than Keith Richards. I truly respect the songwriting of all these bands mentioned and listen to them with great reverence. Ultimately, it's just a matter of taste and respect your point of view.👍🏼
The Who is a very interesting rabbit hole to go down. I believe that was an Alembic bass. One of the most intense rhythm sections in rock history. If you want more Live from them, Check out My Generation from the Smothers Brothers show (1967 i think), Young Man Blues from the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 or Won't Get Fooled Again from this performance (1977 Sheperton Studios, I think). You might like the studio cuts of the Real Me from Quadrophenia, there's just a ton of gold to be mined with this band.
Man, I can’t tell you how excited I am to see you get The Who on your channel! Now that you’ve heard your first, I’m betting you have at least 5 songs from their catalog that will make the 4Runner
Take the time to watch their musical/Rock Opera “Tommy”. It’s amazing! Tina Turner, Elton John, Ann-Margaret, Eric Clapton, and most importantly Who lead singer Roger Daltrey.
It. Will. Blow. Your. Mind.
Ah, the Who. Between them and The Clash, they were what I grew up with; what still means reality to me.
Same.
Although I add the Misfits, Ramones, Howard Jones, and Information Society to that.
It's that dark cynical humor that follows me to this day.
I saw the Clash open for the Who at the old Kingdome in Seattle '83 or 4. Sat next to about 5 20 year olds that came to see The Clash. When they were done they got up to leave & I said something like "You really need to give the Who a listen." Out came the Varsity! 65,000 in an arena Pete called "a fishtank." About 4 songs in one of girls next to us got my attention & asked me "Were they like this before?" You ain't seen shit until you see The Who.
Those magical nights back in October of 1982 when I got to see The Clash open up the show for The Who at Shea Stadium in NYC!
I saw The Clash open for The Who in LA. It was a night that leaves you speechless.
Polo is gonna LOVE Keith Moon!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
An OG legend.
Great reaction!
I was fortunate to get the lead guitar player Pete Townsend and the new drummer player Kenny Jones autographs on my airline ticket from Toronto to London and they were on the same flight! December 1982...
Baba o Reilly.
That explains this song.
Irish and indian.
The finish tells you the combo
Rocked up.
Superb.
It's been a long time since I have seen a young Pete Townsend windmill movements on his guitar. To see Keith Moon on drums who was considered one of the best of his generation. Roger Daltry doing his whipping up his microphone who as a young kid I copied, much to my Dad's chagrin. This IS CLASSIC. Thank you for reminding me of how awesome they were. Some bands like Mr. Big do Baba O'Riley as an encore. This clip cut down the intro. On the recording it's much longer. One of my favorites.
The quirky things, the geewiz mic swinging trick, the ping pong Pete action. The solid musicianship happening along with the stellar performance spectacle made them one of the best rock bands in an era when there was so much mind boggling talent that you constantly needed to bring your A+++ game. This song got me so fired up. The memories whipping through my head where they were playing loudly from the car speakers. Those were the days, my friends.
This was also used as the theme for the TV show CSI New York. and the front man Roger Daltry had a recurring on the TV show Highlander as Hugh Fitzcairn.
I saw The Who for the last time in 1997 on their Quadrophenia tour. It was a 22,000 seat arena, and you could feel their energy and charisma projected from the stage. They were absolutely electric. I've seen a lot of live music, including bands from the 60s-70s era, and they were special.
Omg "His sister's shirt on"! That is so true, and so funny.
heard it 1000 times and I still get goosebumps....check out the studio version as well.
Watch the live of the band from like 1967 that the live was a tv show that The Who were a guest in this show and the band sang the song who was a 60 classic named My Generation and in the end of this song that they sang the drummer of this band named Keith Moon did something crazy!
I'm 34 and The Who has been my favorite band since i was 12, when my dad had me watch Tommy and Quadraphenia. It was on my bucket list to be able to see them with him and we crossed it off 4 years ago. Roger Daltry was one of my first crushes as a teen, weird I know😂
I got to see them once in the 2000s and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. Ringo Star's son Zack was the drummer and he nailed it.
I saw them in concert twice! I was lucky!! 😃😆🌵👵🐺🖖
The WHO is a group that now that I am in my mid 50’s am only in the past few years really appreciating their artistry; love this song, and Polo, “Eminence Front” is a straight up banger 🔥
August 2, 1968, I was 16, first-ever concert: The Who opened for The Doors. There was a riot (at the Singer Bowl, on Long Island). Need I say more?
It's interesting that you mention feeling proud and heroic listening to The Who. Since I was a kid, they've been my "power" band that I go to when I need that kick-in-the-ass energy to get me out of a slump. I'm forever indebted to the really cool babysitter I had in 1969/70 who introduced me to FM radio and album rock at a *very* young and impressionable age.
POLO, you really should watch Won't Get Fooled Again from the same concert! Incredible song from the same album as Baba O'Riley, with a jaw-dropping finale.
ENERGY OFF THE CHARTS, POLO!!! LOVE The WHO!! Thanks for reacting to this one!! HUGS!
Pete was dancing a bit of an 'Irish Jig' at the start. Saw them post Keith in '80 & Rodger jogged in place nearly the whole set & again in '82. That shirt of Rodgers in the vid is based upon old, old French sailors T's called low & behold French cut. Like the other viewers stated. 'Live at Leed's ' will deliver the goods.
Every "who" song should be listened to live!❤❤❤❤
One of the few I enjoy live much more than studio
No truer words were ever spoken. IMO, the best live band of all time.
Couldn't agree more Robert. I've had the luck to see them live 5 times and they're still, in my opinion, THE best live rock band of all time. (I've also seen a number of my other favourites; Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Yes etc., but no band created the same "insane energy" along with musical excellence. Pink Floyd were probably the closest.)
THAT IS SOUL FEEDING !!!! OMG the world needs MUSIC !!!
PEACE OUT xxxx
It’s long been said that the Muppet Animal was inspired by drummer Keith Moon. Keith taped his headphones to his head with gaffer tape so they wouldn’t fall off lol.
He was a madman. That studio show where he blew up his kit was hilarious.
This!
@@wordup897 I saw that!! It was great 😂
On the Isle of Wight Festival Pete was dropped on stage from overhead in his white boiler suit wind milling his guitar. Pure theatrics but it was enough to put everybody in a good mood.
Epic band...seen them many times...most recently this past summer and they still sound amazing
Theyve done about 5 "final tours" since 1988.
@@wordup897 I've seen them about 6x since their 1989 reunion tour (the last time was 2006), and NONE of them were labelled "final tour". They took a lot of grief from reuniting in 1989, when they toured "Tommy" (with a full orchestra), but think about it... They were probably about mid-to-late 40s, hadn't toured together in six years, and really missed performing all these great songs! They were crazy (impulsive) to give it up, and they'd have been crazy (foolish) to continue with retirement!
There are no words… period. And to be there live? Even a more lack of words!!!
This song gives great vibes and joy ❤
These guys have been around since the 60’s. Co-rockers with the Stones, Beatles, Yardbirds, et al.
Keith started using headphones on stage in 1971 for certain numbers, which he taped to his head with gaffertape, so he could hear the backing tape for Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again.
Rodger Daultry and Pete Townsend both sang although daultry was the lead singer. Check out Pete Townsend's " My love opened the door". You will love it
they do call and response quite a bit.
If you ever watched any of the CSI shows, whether the one in Las Vegas, New York or Miami, they each open with a song by The Who.
That rhythm section of bass and drums is not only in the top 3 of all time but the most unique. It’s like they solo through the whole song. Then the guitar player hardly ever plays a solo, but he wrote all their hits. The singer may have been wearing his sister’s shirt but don’t tell him that. He was one bad ass little guy with a huge voice.
Top 10 rock song of all time by a top 5 rock band and a great live performance to boot
I used to listen to the Who way back in the day, thanks for bringing them back to the front of my old mind :)
Most people have heard the who and didn't know it, Who are you❤❤❤great band
After 9/11 there was a benefit at Madison Square Garden for the NYPD, NYFD, and first responders. The Who did 4 songs that brought roof down. I'm aware or no Moon ( drummer) and up in years for the band, but they totally were amazing.
This is in the days before large video screens…the best bands put on a performance for the people in the last row of the Stadium
A great band Polo. Lots of hits to uncover. Remember not to get them mixed up with, The Guess Who. They are another fine band from the 60's and 70's. I love lots of their music as well.
I saw The Who in 1989 in Raleigh NC. I was 15. Killer show.
Just raw instruments
Love it.
Love you. You certainly have an old soul. God bless. Enjoy the music I grew up with. ❤
I ENJOY YOUR COMMENTS....I GREW UP WITH THE WHO...I WAS LUCKY....... A WHO FAN SINCE 1970
Me too. 😊
It was the theme song of one of those CSI shows. They each used a Who song as their theme song.
The rock bands in the 60’s and 70’s was epic‼️
The use of these electronic rhythms was groundbreaking when this was released. Baba is a reference to Pete Townshend's Indian guru, and O'Riley is a reference to he classical electronic artist Terry Riley, who influenced the songwriting of the song.
Someone you should checkout that I haven’t seen requested is the Jeff Healey Band. Jeff Healey was a guitarist/ singer that was blind. He played his guitar in his lap while he sang. You may recognize him from the movie Roadhouse. Check out As The Years Go Passing By or either his cover of All Along The Watchtower
This song did more than just rock. It introduced a new instrument to the world.
The synthesizer.
I was blessed to see them in early to mid 1980s. Goosebumps and awe. They had to have been completely exhausted. ❤
Polo is a cool guy AND he's a good analyst...and he knows how to direct a video. Just launches in...
A true classic musical composition.
The guitar player gyrating and bouncing around that makes you smile is the legendary Pete Townsend. He's the leader of the band. He's one of the greatest song writer's and rock composers in rock history. He won a Oscar for the movie Tommy. He's also referred to as "The Chairman". The Chairman of Rock n Roll.
Townshend was nominated for best original score for the movie “Tommy” but he didn’t win the Oscar. He did however win a Tony Award for the Broadway play “Tommy.”
The drummer was definitely "in his own." Great way to describe Mr. Moon.
There’s more of this show on CZcams. I especially recommend “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. If you thought the lead singer (Roger Daltry) was powerful in this track, that one will blow your mind!
There is so much in The Who repertoire. Please listen to "We Won't Get Fooled Again." It has the best scream in rock 'n roll. Also, listen to the rock opera "Tommy." It was ahead of its time.
That drummer was Keith Moon, another phenom drummer, right next to John Bonham from Zep., who we also lost! Hard-core drummer! RIP. Peace ✌🏼
Nice reaction. Very good quality production and funny remarks and useful comments.
They did My Generation too, which is often considered the first punk song.
CMON MR PETE TOWNSEND!!! What an absolute FRIGGIN LEGEND xx
Reign O'er me is a great song. Roger decided to sing the song the way he wanted, he went all out on it It's a phenomenal song!
One of my top 2 favorite groups from when I was 13. Long time ago!
I saw them in a small venue and swear i lost my hearing that night! They were great!
Check out the live song "don't get fooled again" this same concert. Then you can say wow that's a real rock band
This is the who!! Energy! You have no idea how these guys would play for three hours like this!! So great!!
The Crowning Jewel for you to watch is "Won't get fooled again" from the same show.... True "ROCK N Rolla's"
This is, one of my favorite songs. I love it.
The "ass wiggler" is Pete Townshend, who wrote a majority of The Who's songs. He went on to have quite a successful solo career. And yes, this song is FIRE!!
The Who was my second concert. They were electrifying. Keith Moon is one of my favorite drummers
To see then live was a great experience I got to see them two times
In college I lived in a fraternity house and the guy in the room next to mine played The Who on his stereo system every day - practically all day - for like 6 months. He blew out his stereo a couple of times because he liked to play it LOUD. I kept fixing it for him (I was studying electrical engineering) and I never got tired of listening to them as they were one of my favorite bands. He must have played Eminence Front a thousand times - no exaggeration.
Rock legends... these four guys.
The WHO was so hot! They put on a great performance in the concert I was @!! ❤❤
Have you seen A Quick One While He's Away from the Rock and Roll Circus? That performance is legend. Moon is absolutely magnificent...
"He definitely has his sister's shirt on" hahahaha
--- That's halarious Polo
Keith playing air drums on the opening...what a hoot.
My favorite Who song is Behind Blue Eyes. You should check out the stories of drummer Keith Moon, he was wild. And it was Keith who said that Lead Zeppelin would be a cool name for a band. So, that’s where it came from. 😀 (Minus the spelling.)
For a half hour of Who bangers live,check out their slot at the Concert for New York in 2001.
It’s a good introduction to their huge catalogue and they blew the crowd away.
Well worth a look.
If you've heard it before it's probably from CSI. ALL fhe themes from the CSI series are Who songs!
The bass guitar is really unique: multiple pickups and lots of controls. Mystery guitar.
