Had the good fortune to see them several times in the '70s. Hard to say who was the most entertaining or the most talented. Awesome shows!

Sin duda, lejos, los mejores rockeros de todas las épocas.

And let’s not forget it’s Entwistle,s driving bass Octaves that lay the foundation for this song.

Watch Isle Of Wight! Dayum!

Keath moon killing it

Nobody has the guts to do this.

He's like an orchestra...winds, brass and strings

Anyone know the year?

I've always been a fan. To me this proves how powerful a sparse guitar part can be. Pete doesn't play a lot here. In fact he never does. It's just a few riffs here and there and a couple of bends at the top of the neck with one of the most beautiful suspension chains in music history. (not just rock music history because according to Pete he was inspired by English Baroque composer Heney Purcell) Sparks is as great a dramatic moment as you'll find in Wagner, Verdi or Mozart, a brilliant piece of instrmental music that sets a dramatic mood. The Who's special contribution to rock is writing specifically for the dramatic stage. While Tommy and Quadrophenia have proven to hold the stage as full musicals/operas the fact that The Who in their prime presented these works as a quartet more powerfully than any larger production of them is still pretty stunning.

TownsHend.

WOW

He wasnt like all the other guitarist coming out of the sixties he had his own unique stile which people tend to over look

Excellent job!!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

SPARKS is the greatest rock song ever written.

After 11 years only 8.3k views? Very sad. I'm 66 years old and I wish I could turn people on to this band. I live in the US, and when I discovered them in the mid-80s I thought I had discovered something magic.

Sparks. Wow

Townsend is a parody of a guitarist.

Let there be..."SPARKS!" :)

Moon's looking good here too. Sparks from Tommy. Greatest live act in rock.

He plays melody guitar not like J Page, Blackmore and Hendrix etc.

Their first incarnation was Tragic Minds?

Pete is a fucking monster!! The most radical guitarist ever to come from England. Simply Awsome!!

Oh it is out of our hands we never stood a chance And living in the perfect land we fail to make much sense Life's a circle, that's for certain, 'round our dreams we fly In drunkenness we stumble... for a moment...for a moment Where emptiness is meaningless and feelings never stray And laughing at such pointlessness is all we'd like to do Life's a circle, that's for certain, 'round our dreams we fly Repeat the lines that they have spoken...for a moment...for a moment We're like monkeys on juice Monkeys on juice The poison in our system it is getting out of hand No faith in such religions, we have seen these things before Life's a circle, that's for certain, 'round our dreams we fly In drunkenness we stumble... for a moment...for a moment We're like monkeys on juice Monkeys on juice Monkeys on juice Etc.

Keith - always looking for something to hit!

Magical....

Love Pete’s guitar….. But that bass tone…….That was my favorite Who “tone” era. My God!

Fkin love this version

Nicee

Great!!

Superb...is there a copy of the full gig on audio available? The Lorries were so under-rated...such a powerful band on stage with those driving riffs

While I agree with this heading, I am still laughing because you made no mention that Moon tore it up as well

Brutal attack on a simple riff from Tommy. The almost chaotic energy of this sound, channeled by a master musician, is so unique no other rock guitar player comes even close

Oh it is out of our hands, we never stood a chance 🎸

ty

It's spelled 'Townshend'.

This is the song that totally got me into them because I'd never heard anything like it; the raw energy just radiates out of the notes he plays. This is pure rock at its finest..and it's their own unique sound...nobody played this type of stuff before them. Townshend is a pioneer, and I'd rather listen to this than endless monotonous shredding by the so-called "best"...

Does anyone have the lyrics of this song please?

I know that I am going to regret saying this but, what does it all mean?

This is a great video, needed as a follow up for the MC5 and a look into them a little deeper! 👍

This is me, looking round with my eyes wide open This is me, this is energy

This album is damn good!

Blasting off is absolutely underrated. This one, Don't think about it and Train of hope are special to me and remind me of my lifelong buddy Stefano. We were at your gug in Rome back in 1986
