"Every crazy story you've heard about Keith Moon is absolutely true...and you haven't even heard 1/10th of them yet." - Alice Cooper
They once had to go back to a hotel they were staying at because a drunken Keith Moon forgot to throw the tv into the swimming pool..lol..true story.😊
Fun fact - the character 'Animal' that plays drums on the Muppets is based on The Who's drummer Keith Moon.
Helen Mirren's Keith Moon story on Conan (2008) czcams.com/video/7DqHsppJYs8/video.html
That's cool, thanks for that! I know the Muppet guitarist was Jeff Skunk Baxter. Always thought the woman with the beret was Rickie Lee Jones, but it can't be because she was created before Rickie hit the scene. Maybe it's Joni Mitchell?
Skunk is a fascinating character. He was involved with the federal government weapons environment.
Man I just thought that if those real life Muppet characters, Moon, Baxter, and Mitchell, had formed a super-group that would have been intriguing 🤔
@sirgalahad3574 Skunk was a consultant for the Department of Defense. Missile systems is what I've been told, but I could be entirely wrong.
Tin Pan Alley was an area in London, around Denmark Street, where all the major music publishers and songwriters were based. There was an earlier Tin Pan Alley in New York, but I imagine the Who are referring to the London one.
I knew about Tin Pan Alley NYC first, so always thought it was New York...but it probably was London ("I took the tube...")
I think '11 hours in the Tin Pan' is referring to being in the studio here
Roger was a Tin Cutter before the Band I think that’s the reference
You know you are absolutely nuts when you have to TAPE yhe headphones to your head
Moon the Loon, he had so much of a prankster inside, besides his amazing and unique drumming. One of a kind, through and through
This was Keith Moon's last album before he died that same year 1978.
John Entwistle was an outstanding bassist. Listen to the bass part in the section where they were goofing around at the mic! It’s amazing.
Keith Moon with the duct tape holding his headphones in place never ceases to crack me up!😅
Saying John Entwistle was outstanding is like calling Michael Jordan a good NBA player!
This song was late in the run of the original Who. It was written by Pete Townshend after a night drinking with younger musicians, including members of the Sex Pistols, and he was disturbed by the punk posturing of wanting to destroy all the old bands and dismissing them as irrelevant, especially when the 60s/early 70s bands went out of their way to honor and credit all the prior musicians who inspired them.
A lot of the up-and-coming bands were having a hard time getting noticed because they didn't have all the big expensive equipment, bands like the Who, Pink Floyd, and ELP had.
Yup, and Niel Young put in his two cents with "my my hay hay (out of the blue and into the black).
@neiloliver4745 This conversation happened after a Who gig. Pete chatted with Paul Cook and Steve Jones from Sex Pistols and asked them why they were thrashing the old rock bands. They looked at each other one of them said they liked The Who and the other nodded condescendingly. I remember going to some punk rock concerts and was proud to see some of the kids wearing a The Who patch on their jackets.
No, this song was from their 1978 album Who Are You. Its them just having fun with their own band name. The Who got started in the early 60s.
Tragically, this is one of, if not the last videos we have of Keith Moon before he passed away. So that's the true value of this promo video.
The WHO (this was around 1977/78. Drummers last album before he died) . A band few have heard of now, but almost everyone have heard their music or parts sampled by many big artist. (listen to Baba O'Riley and you know right away what i mean ). They also 'invented' smashing your instrument at the end of performance (look up (live) videos of My Generation, another song you have heard snippets of..sometime). The WHO was a great live band, with the Animal on drums, Townhead going nuts on his guitar, The bassist dong noting but stand there and play(absolute brilliant player), and singer doing tricks with the microphone.
These guys are insane. Each in his own way.
Keith Moon, the Drummer died on September 25, 1978 of an overdose.
That bass player is outstanding.
I got to see the Who 3 times in my life: 1974, 1975, 1982... They were a great band...
It's a very introspective song late in Townshend's career. He was lost at the direction he wanted to go in, with the band or without them, and felt like his prior work had no real impact anymore. The "Tin Pan" was the music publishing offices on London's Denmark Street (The Kinks have a song titled "Denmark Street" on their Lola album that speaks to the business side of music as well, but in a much different way), which was known as the British "Tin Pan Alley" where pop songs were crafted by "professional" song writers to be recorded by prettier, more marketable singers in the '60s. The reference is Townshend minimizing his songs, which he intended to "change the world" and be meaningful, but that he now felt were just meanigless pop. In the end, he is asking himself "Who are you?" because he's lost and does not know who he is or what he stands for anymore - he's having an internal crisis as an artist.
Tin pan (alley) refers to a part of London where a lot of music publishers and writers were based.
Thanks for the Info.
Pete Townsend spent 11 hours in meetings about legal matters in the Tin Pan Alley, signing papers about contracts & copyrights.
“11 hours in the tin pan, god there’s GOT to be a better way…
I always thought tin pan was “tin can”… and tin can being working class slang for a factory. We’ve all felt that I suppose lol
The sad fact was that Keith Moon (drums) of The Who died soon after this video was filmed in 1978... Apparently, it was an OD on pills that he was using to curb his alcoholism ironically... 'Who are you' was also the last record Keith Moon recorded w/ the band and the album cover was a strange coincidence - a band photo of The Who on a studio set w/ Keith Moon sitting on a chair that had a sign that read, "Not to be taken away".
Keith Moon was a maniac on the drums... If u listen to The Who's live album 'Live at Leeds'... u can hear Keith Moon thrashing on the drum kit behind the band. Roger Daltrey (lead vocals) recalled the first time Moon jammed w/ the band on drums, it was "like a jet engine starting"... and they KNEW that he was the band's drummer.
Originally formed in London in the early 1960's, they were a cover band called The Detours ... Roger Daltrey was the guitarist at first when he met John Entwistle (bass)... Daltrey was intrigued when he saw Entwistle carrying a bass guitar and had no idea what instrument it was. Apparently, John Entwistle had BUILT his own bass guitar because he didn't like playing the traditional ones available... Entwistle recommended his friend Pete Townshend (guitar) who he knew in school.
Eventually, Roger Daltrey fired the singer and became the lead singer... Pete Townshend recalled that when he and Entwistle jammed, it sounded great... In 1964, they had to change the name because there was another band called The Detours... Pete Townshend recalled a local bar or pub that was called 'The Hare and The Who'' ... and they were inspired to name the band The Who... They switched drummers for a while before Keith Moon (drums) came to one of their shows and claimed that he was better than the guy they had on stage... After just one jam session, the maniac drummer Keith Moon was the final piece that had completed the band... Roger Daltrey recalled that Moon's playing made everyone work harder and changed the sound overnight to something more powerful.
After a while, they decided to change the name to The High Numbers and were a 'mod' band in London playing American R&B covers... but their managers who signed on to handle the band did not like the new name, so they changed it back to The Who. Pete Townshend wrote his first original song in 1965 - "I can't explain"... and it became a decent hit. From that point, Pete Townshend would write a majority of The Who's original songs (John Entwistle also wrote some songs) and The Who scored a major hit single 'My Generation' which saw the band tour the USA for the first time and become a major name in the Sixties and Seventies decades.
This is such a fun video. It shows the band’s chemistry together. As always I love your reaction
Thank you so much!!
Who are you? This eternal question is still ingored forever.
From Wiki: "The lyrics of "Who Are You" were inspired by an incident Townshend experienced. After going out drinking with Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, Townshend was found in a "Soho doorway" by a policeman, who recognized him and said he would let him go if he could safely walk away.[3]" Apparently the policeman admired Townshend, and was distressed to see him in the condition he was. It made an impression on Townshend.
Love the Band, Seen them live in 73😎
Back in the day, the question was often asked, are you a Beatles or Rolling Stones fan. My answer is the same today as it was then... THE WHO!
Love the Who, But for me hands down, Zepp! It was all so fucking good back then!!!!!!
I like you someone agrees with me the Who were favorite of the 1960s British Invasion
@@williamreiser3118 The Who were way more daring and dangerous.
I was a huge Kinks fan, as were The Who, especially Pete Towshend.
@@michaelm6948 me too loved the kinks more then Beatles The Who number 1 of 3
Keith Moon is using duct tape to keep his phones on … that is crazy. I love the guitar work here.
The CSI shows, series used to have The Who songs as an opener song of each episode, so this one too. The theme song of CSI LV I guess "Who are you ?". Awesome song from the album with the same title.
You know it will be good when the drummer has to duct tape the headphones to his head.
USA 🇺🇸 radio 📻 liked this so much they let the naughty word go unnoticed & played it anyway. Great vocal by Mr.Daltrey !
It was not unnoticed. Each radio station makes a decision on what it will or will not broadcast based on their determination of what their audience will accept or not. The FCC regulates broadcast content based on documented complaints it receives from the public. If one person files a complaint about Daltrey's f-bomb, there will likely be little or no action (fine or suspension of station license) taken. But if dozens or hundreds of people complain about specific offensive/objectionable language or content, then the station could be penalized under "violation of community standards". I only saw it happen once in the 15 years I worked in a big metro midwest market.
@@michaeldavid6284 What was the song ?
@@davidellis5141 It wasn't a song. It was a morning show host at an alternative rock station describing a stripper doing a pole dance and lap dance live in the studio. The station was fined $250K and suspended the jock for a month. The only reason he wasn't fired is that his ratings were far and away the best of any radio slot in town.
@@michaeldavid6284 Sounds like Howard Stern ... Thanks !
What a band! Thunderfingers on bass, Pete ripping those power chords on the Les Paul, Roger's vocals, and the incomparable Moonie on drums. Fantastic!
All three CSI series used Who songs.
Oh wow! Lol The producer must be a huge fan
Every CSI iteration had a song by the Who as it's opining title, I think.
The Who’s Tommy- The Pinball Wizard is first rock opera album (double album) recorded in 1969.
Q. Who Are You? A. you are a reactor who reacts! I love finding reactors who actually react to what they are seeing and hearing. Do watch a live performance by the Who.
They can be hard to watch if you respect musical instruments. Keep Reacting!
Yes, Jerry Bruckheimer (the producer for CSI) is a big fan of the Who. He used another one of their songs also.
I did meet Chuck Mangione after a practice for a concert which was pretty big for me because I was just a 14 year old kid that worked at the civic center, and played trumpet.
Bright Angel Maddy - I love the smile on your face and the light in your eyes when you feel the music touch you. You understand
that music is the language of the spirit. thanks for all the hard work you do to bring is so much joy.
Pete Townshend and many of the London British invasion artists hung around together in the guitar shops. Pete was instrumental in the development of the Marshall amp, as a "user" vs. a technician.
Your joyous smile says it all!
The Drummer Keith Moon was known as the "Loon".
One of my favourite bands and Keith Moon was one of rocks "wild men". Example : Like many wealthy rock band members Keith had a very large house and thought it would be good to get a Rolls Royce, so he did, he picked up his new car, drove home, down the driveway around the back and straight into the swimming pool, the house was marketed after his death with "Pool including Rolls Royce".
They did love each other like brothers, But wild man Keith was loved by all them the most. So ironic--On the "Who Are You" LP cover, he's sitting on a chair that says "Not to be taken away", and less than a year later, he's gone.
Great reaction, Maddy! The Who is a fantastic band. I am glad i grew up listening to them.
Thank you for another Who reaction. A great band composed of a group of musicians who all wanted (and had the chops) to be the lead. I'm partial to the bass player John Entwistle since I had the chance to meet him-genuinely nice and funny guy. I'd like to ask you to do a reaction to another legendary musician who could have been a member of the Rolling Stones (he passed on the chance)-the incredibly talented Rory Gallagher. Known as "the greatest guitarist you've never heard of", Rory was in the same class as Clapton and Page. For a wonderful introduction to his incredible style, try checking out "Tattoo'd Lady" from his 1987 performance at the Cork Opera House. Thanks!
🎶🍃 booom- chick - ahhh - boom 🍃🎶
THanks MMaddy. Fun reaction to a fun video from a fun group/
The lyrics to this song depict and actual experience had by Pete Townshend (Guitarist and writer of the song).
Thank You Maddy! ❤❤❤
You are so welcome!
Hey, Maddie. Been a while. But I couldn't resist this reaction. The Who are a top-tier group with an eclectic sound and deep catalog. You will always find guitarist, singer, and primary songwriter, Pete Townshend, working the garden for fresh ideas and musical fruit. Roger Daltrey is tge only singer, besides Townshend, that could voice the great songs this made famous. It is always an experience to hear again even after all this time.
Your reaction to these songs is going to be great.
SQUEEZE BOX,
EMINENCE FRONT,
THE REAL ME,
BEHIND BLUE EYES,
and LONG LIVE ROCK.
You look great again today. Enjoy the suggestions.
I've been a Who fan ever since a friend of mine talked me into seeing the rock opera movie, Tommy by The Who. That was back in the 70s. As a band that lead a new generation towards rebellion and pioneers for punk. The Who sealed a place in musical history.
great request, from one of THE greatest albums of all-time... amazing to see live too 😎🤘
Respect & Peace ☘
Fun fack. They had to tape Keith Moon's headphones to his head because he was so energetic.
Hello to the most beautiful on the Internet !! xx
Hello 😊
Keith Moon , Master of Fun!
You will love "A quick one while he's away" by the Who, live at the magic circus. (1968)
I love watching your reactions. You are so gorgeous ❤😊
Thank you so much!!
Good day, wonderful friends! Maddy: The deep thought that dances on my tongue is: that the song is really brilliant, (immortal) but my focus was left, 10 minutes on a bright smile! (Yes, I'm lost too🙂): because for your fatal beauty,...words haven't been invented yet.😇
The band formed as The Detours in 1962, and changed their name to The Who in 1964. They were one of the top bands as part of the "British Invasion" (of the U.S. music scene) in the mid-1960s. This song was the title track of their 1978 album, so they had been around for 14 years by that time, still continuing to crank out great rock and roll music. There was another band from Canada called The Guess Who, which had a shorter music career and not so many hits.
I saw them At Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center in 71' and as far as I know it is still the largest audience ever there.Over 35,000 people lined up on the lawns out to the bath house.I remember that most people were just a wee bit high
I am from Scotland & The Who used a few names previous to The Who & their 1st big hit was My Generation
And that was just in the studio...😊. Keep on reacting! ❤ Greetings from Jonas Gothenburg Sweden.
Tin Pan Alley was the street where all the music industry had their offices in the early 20th century. Songwriters would go from office to office pitching their music.
I remember when this was new. Summertime on Pensacola Beach! I believe the tin pan in this case is a British jail cell overnight, after being caught drunk and passed out by a cop. They started in England in 1964. This was 1978, but we always appreciated the play on their band name in this song.
Little River Band : "Lady"
All CSI intros have The Who’s songs.
CSI Vegas: Who Are You
CSI Miami: We Won’t Get Fooled Again.
CSI New York: Teenage Wasteland.
The Who were contemporary the The Beatles and they were part of the “British Invasion” craze of the 60s. Their rhythmic section (bassist and drummer) are regarded as some of the greatest of their field. By far one of the greatest rock acts of all time, they were present when Jimi Hendrix took the world by surprise and the were part of the mythical 1969 Woodstock Festival. Words are short to describe their significance in the rock scene.
Ooooh
It's not called "Teenage Wasteland, but "Baba O'Riley"
@@JRSiebz True, the funny thing is I always correct people for saying it wrong and now I’m doing it.
I did hang out with some other 'names' you would know besides Toy, the guys in Foghat and Molly Hatchet are the most known besides The Marshal Tucker Band boys.
Keith Moon great talent, the first !
Drinking with the drummer Keith Moon and George Best the footballer ⚽ , would've been fun in the 60s & 70s 🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃🥃
It looks like fun, but in practice they were not best of friends.
Keith the drummer worshipped Pete the guitarist, but his best pal was bassist John, being the beating heart of the band.
They all fought constantly, and rarely went on stage if not angry, drunk, or (usually) both.
Keith Moon reminds me so much of Dudley Moore he is hilarious and a master of his craft
Great up close video of The Who ... thanks Maddy.
You might want to react to the Who's legendary appearance, in 1967, on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. That CBS network TV show was one of the few in America that treated rock music seriously at the time. The Who made quite an impression by destroying their instruments and drummer Keith Moon blew up his drum kit, almost causing serious injuries.
Great Band, Great Video, Great Reaction. Love&LIght
The Who. Who? The Who. I don't know, who? THE WHO! I... DON'T... KNOW. WHO?!... nevermind...
Saw them in 1971 when this album came out. Their opening group was Wishbone Ash. All for the price of a $2.00 lawn seat ticket. Jim
If you're asked the question, what rock star living or dead would you want to party with? The correct answer would have to Keith Moon. His antics are beyond legendary. To see then live you need to see "Young Man Blues" live at the Isle of Wight. Rock on
The song was one of the LAST songs recorded with drummer Keith Moon before he died. They began around 15 years before and were originally called the "Detours." I've seem them live about 7 times including 3 times with Keith Moon in the 1970s. My kids have seen them with me 4 times.
Also, called " The High Numbers" :)
One of the greatest singers of the rock era is Bob Seger. Since you’re young and have a lot of living to do you may want to watch the official video for “Like a Rock”, and take it to heart.
Very cool band one of my favorites of all time I got to see them back in the very early 80s probably 1980 when the song first came out then I got to see them way later after Keith Moon and the John Entwistle passed away. Still very exciting a lot of fun great music keep up the great work. I just remembered I saw them in LA one time and The Clash opened for them at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium.
Maddy - you should add the movie 'Quadrophenia' to your watchlist, savage movie which The Who did the soundtrack for 😎🤘
Respect & Peace ☘
The only rock band with a lead vocalist, lead guitarist, lead drummer, and a lead Bass guitarist. THE WHO. Period
I think the song is about questioning your own identity. The guy spent an unfulfilling day working, then got slobbering drunk, then started a fight in the Tube, then got home to a loved one. Full day, many sides of his personality taking over at different points. Say, Maddy...who are you?
I love how the closed captioning AI is trying to translate Pete Townsend's guitar lines
That’s hilarious 😂
Breakout comeback album and iconic song by the genius of The WHO, Pete Townshend!
The tube is the train as well
Tin Pan Alley where all the music biz in London was,,
I've always thought that the words "I staggered back to the underground /.../ I took the tube back out of town" implied riding drunk on the subway unable to get oneself home (where wifey is waiting with a rolling pin) but perhaps the Tin Pan Alley explaination is more correct? I don't know since I'm not a Londoner...
I love your reaction and I love The Who!
Love the pretty smile , can tell when you enjoy the video 👍✌️💜
Thank you! ☺️
The clip is missing the third verse which is on the album version of the song.
I suggest,if you haven’t done them yet,are “Won’t Get Fooled Again “ and “Baba O’Reilly”.
Another great group from those magic times and one of their best songs. Not trying to put in another plug for machine Gun but remember there were only three members in the band and on a private note they released it two weeks before I was deployed to Vietnam I was in the USMC
Hi Maddy first time I ever used the telegram app (I’m an old guy) you will have to let me know if it worked.
This is a fun video, but it doesn't even include all the verses. The studio version doesn't share the laughter, but it's better. You should check it out! As to why the funny face the lead singer Roger made, I think it was in a reaction to a random guitar lick Pete played that he didn't like at all. That lick was not on the studio version.
I think he's saying tin pan alley, a rundown low rent place.
There are some that may argue that the Who is the greatest rock band.
I believe Pete penned Who Are You after spending a drunken night with Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols? Having had some sort of epiphany and realising that perhaps the Who were passing the torch to a new generation of musicians?
Just a point of interest.....I don't think these guys were bothered too much about studio time. Where this Pro Mo was shot, a studio in South London, they owned it..yep, it was their studio!
Rock Gods
This song is meant to be heard as loud as you van bear it, probably the greatest rock song ever. When heard like that, in a car, its seems like you are in a space ship. LOL, the reason its repetitive is its one purpose is meant to cause our inner man to be reflective who the eff we are.
Keith Moon the Loon and John Entwhistle the Ox were just 2 of the greatest losses to the world of music the world has seen, if there was a band that i could reunite and bring back members from the dead, The Who would be it!!!!!!!
Great Band
Greatest Rock Band Ever
I think all the CSI intro's were Who songs. Another good band are Pulp, Common people and Disco 2000 to name but two, like the Who there's a good story told in each song.
Keith Moon the crazy nut lol , Mick Jagger said he woke up in a Hotel in Hollywood and the first thing he seen was a Man dressed like Spiderman standing in front of him , so he was all de-shoveled and tried to fight him , Finally Keith Moon said it was him and Mick calmed down , Apparently Keith went into his room through a window lmao , Mick tells it funny
