  • This is my first time hearing The Who, and I'm really excited to be reacting to perhaps the most famous song by The Who, My Generation! This music video was WILD too I'm excited to listen to more of their music in the future!

    The Who = Mostly-controlled Chaos. Keith Moon was one of my inspirations to become a drummer, the other was Ian Paice of Deep Purple. Moon's drumming was all over the place, Townshend's guitar playing inspired a lot of young guitarists, Entwhistle always looked like the calm one of the group - all while playing some of the most extreme bass lines, and Daltrey's vocals were always wonderful to hear...even his raspy screams. Check out more of their stuff and you'll find some wonderful songs to listen to.

    The first time I saw The Who was July 6, 1989 at RFK Stadium in Washington DC on their 25th anniversary tour. It was an absolutely amazing show. Local radio station, WCXR, held a banner contest where they would select the two people with the best homemade banner that mentioned the radio station and The Who to be moved to the tenth row, center stage. And that's how the young lady I went with and I got moved from nearly the last row of the nosebleed section on the other side of the stadium down to the 10th row.

      I was also at this same show as well, my younger brother got us the tickets at the box office in front of Robert F. Kennedy Stadium more than two months before the concert date. It also was the 20th anniversary of the Tommy album, so there were significant parts of the album in the show that hadn't been performed on tour in more than 18 years. In addition, the kids of the Vice-President of the U.S. at the time (Dan Quayle) were at this show in a mezzanine level box, chaperoned by their mother, Mrs. Marilyn Quayle.

    I'm not sure if you've watched any of the "CSI" TV shows, but one of their songs got used as the theme to that respective show. For the one that started it, "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation", they use "Who Are You?", "Won't Get Fooled Again" is for "CSI:Miami", "Baba O'Riley" in "CSI: New York", and "I Can See For Miles" in "CSI: Cyber". The one that's currently on the air, "CSI: Vegas", is a follow-up to the original series, so they use "Who Are You?" for that as well.
    At one point during the original series, lead singer Roger Daltrey made a guest appearance.

    Another explanation for the stutter is there were two different and mutually antagonistic youth cultures in England at the time: Mods and Rockers. Rockers listened to Gene Vincent and wore black leather jackets and blue jeans, worked mostly blue collar jobs like auto mechanics. Mods dressed sharper, suit and tie but with a green wartime over coat on top, rode scooters, and worked entry level white collar jobs. Mod also were known to take amphetamines to juggle their day jobs with their night time partying, so quite often developed that characteristic amphetamine stutter. The Who were a well known Mod band back in the day.

    You probably have heard The Who's songs all your life, just not realized it was them. Their music has been used for some TV commercials for cars and computers for example. They are in the Woodstock movie, made many TV appearances, and had a long string of hits into the 1980s. Lead singer Roger Daltrey became an actor (since you like movies) - starring in "Tommy" (their Rock musical); "Lisztomania"; and as a continuing supporting role in the Highlander TV series.

    Diane, you couldn’t do better than The Who’s “My Generation” to represent the fast, mod, style of mid-60’s England and the upcoming social tensions and clashes to come in both England and the USA. The Who was driven by a lot of incredible talent and a lot of inner conflict and before they were done broke barriers and set standards and precedents for Rock that created possibilities for decades to come.
    Would there ever been Queen without The Who, would Bohemian Rhapsody ever been written without Tommy and Pinball Wizard?
    So many amazing hits but their performances is a major part of they’re impact.
    Woodstock, would have happened without them, but would Woodstock have had the same impact without The Who?
    Love your reaction to it! I can totally see you in mid clothes visiting London in the 60’s.

I feel they had 3 phases of music, their 60s stuff like My Generation, Magic Bus, & I Can't Explain, a softer side in I Can See For Miles and Miles, See Me Feel Me & Behind Blue Eyes, their 70s harder rock Pinball Wizard, Baba O'Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Reign O'Er Me, and Who Are You, and a more 80s style Eminence Front.

    Diane, as a movie nerd you may find interesting that The Who wrote and performed one of the great Rock Operas. Called Tommy, after the main character it explores the life of a deaf, dumb blind kid. It later became a film performed by some of the greatest artists in music and film. I recommend that you watch it. It's probably a bit long for your RUclips channel, but I think you'll truly enjoy it.

    Chewie took interest as the club girl came out in Diane, as she grooved to the beat of "My Generation". Well, how could you not. The Who were always trying to subvert expectations as a band. Chewie wasn't quite sure what to make Diane's gyrations initially, but her happy noises and actions led him to not being worried, about Diane just being weird, again.

    I saw The Who live in Stuttgart, Germany. It was one of three times where I was almost crushed in a crowd.
    The Who were famous for smashing their instruments at the end of their shows.
    My favorite Who song is "Won't Get Fooled Again". It was written at a time when there were a series of revolutions taking place in Africa, where each new leader was as bad _(or worse)_ than the previous one. I enjoy listening to it during every election season, paired with the Beatles' electric version of "Revolution".
    Both the drummer _(Keith Moon)_ and the bassist _(John Entwistle)_ have passed.

      There's a famous episode of the late 70s-early 80s sitcom WKRP in Cincinnatti about the Riverfront Coliseum disaster in 1979, when 11 fans were crushed to death as a mob tried to force their way through a few opened doors, attempting to get the best festival seating for the first Who tour after Keith Moon's death. "it was so cold outside"

    As an American AND a "music nerd"(amateur keyboardist.), this is FUN. The "British Invasion" into the US (~1962-1971~) forms the CORE of my music collection. OH, Man there's a LOT to explore! I can't wait until you get into American stuff of the era like "The Doors" and "Jefferson Airplane"! Also the lack of a "bang" finish is part of the idea of "outsider"/ noncompliance. Actually, one can consider the early tracks from "The Who" to be "proto-Punk").

    Diane- that was a great video. I love the song and it is always funny to see film/video from the 60’s (seeing the hair and clothing styles). My parents always listened to classical/jazz music when we were younger, so I was never super knowledgeable about the different groups (I always had my favorite songs without knowing the name of the band). However, over the past couple of years I have been trying to educate myself on the background on the bands from the 60’s and 70’s). This video definitely has me interested to learn more about The Who.

  • @donpietruk1517
    @donpietruk1517 Год назад

    Diane! Lovely reaction. I grew up in Detroit which was one of the first cities in the US to sprout a huge Who fan base starting like in the mid 1960s. The Who were very much British working class guys and the music resonated with the working class ethos in Detroit. We had a very forward local music promoter who heard their records and somehow booked them in a local high school auditorium and another venue in nearby Ann Arbor. Once they achieved superstar status whenever The Who played in the Detroit Metropolitan area Pete Townsend never failed to acknowledge Detroit fans for adopting them as their own so early in their careers. You will still meet Who fans who hold their Southfield High School ticket stubs from when The Who played there in 1967 or people who caught them at The Fifth Dimension in Ann Arbor (University of Michigan) a few days later. Or people who caught them at The Grande Ballroom in 1968 and 1969.

    I would suggest you watch the movie _Quadrophenia_ to get a real feel for this era of time. It depicts the Mod v/s Rocker culture of the mid 1960's and a series of riots between the two groups in 1964 in a variety of seaside towns. It's based on a rock-opera of the same name, and is considered to be semi-autobiographical to the band. It's not to everyone's tastes and can be kinda slow, but it is one of the best depictions of Mod v/s Rocker culture ever filmed.

    I saw them on their farewell tour before you were born, but they re-formed less than ten years later.
    They had said they wouldn't play this song again, because it didn't feel right to sing about dying before they got old, as they neared their 40's. They played two nights, one at a stadium, then at the adjacent arena. We expected the same opening song for the second show, but they opened with My Generation, and the 10000+ fans screamed in approval.

    I'd guess that their most famous song from The Who would be _"Won't Get Fooled Again"_ off the album _"Who's Next"._ That album has several really *great* songs on it. They were also famous for the rock opera called _"Tommy"._ That's where the song _"Pinball Wizard"_ really comes from, although if you've heard that song then you've probably heard the version done by Elton John for the movie version of _"Tommy"._
