Is it ok if I am overwhelmed with melancholy? I mean, I bought their 45's as a kid, I saw them live in the 70's, and we've grown old together in a way . . .
99% of the music made today will never, ever give you chills or bring you to tears when you hear it live. Popular music has gone from plucking the strings of your soul to merely washing away the more random noises around you.
I first saw The Who around 1965. They used to gig at the 'Goldhawk Social club' - Goldhawk rd, Shepherd's Bush west London. The old guys can still hack it. :-)))
Holy cow. You saw them at the Goldhawk?? That place has legendary status among hardcore Who fans. Did you know 'Irish' Jack Lyons by any chance? He's a longtime friend of Pete's. There's a documentary where Jack goes back to the Goldhawk. It's still there.
Yes, and that is a VERY hard song to sing. I always respected Daltry more than Robert Plant who constantly sings in lower octaves from the record. Daltry is GREAT and from what I hear, a nice, humble guy.
I was lucky enough to finally see them perform live last year in Anaheim. They can still kick ass singing and playing guitar and the violinist is gorgeous and is so talented. Great experience!
'The Who' one of the greatest of sixties origin. Bless them for staying in the present while wonderfully remaining engraved in my entire life. 'There wants was a Note' -- fade to silence --
Reading thru these comments and watching this clip I am overwhelmed with emotions. What a great clip. I was there at Riverfront Coliseum that December 3, 1979. Twenty years old and celebrating my 21st birthday with friends. Arriving late, The Who were playing Baba O'Riley when my date and I came upon the most surreal images of my life. The crush had already occurred and the plaza outside the arena was strewn with shoes, hats, gloves, purses, coats, and myriad bric-a-brac. The glass doors were completely shattered. EMS were still around. And from inside came the refrain, "Teenage wasteland, it's only teenage wasteland". Wow! I am still affected by that event. God bless the lives lost and the families of those who died there. It still shakes me to my core. Long live The Who! And long live Rock!
Im so glad to have been from My Generation. Born in Dec 1950. We had the best music, and some of the gratest people. Nothing to doo with me, but I was just glad to be in that generation. The Who sounded wonderful and their young musicians and singers were outstanding. Well done Rogger. Always liked you.
For those of you who never saw it, find the 2001 NYC benefit after 9/11 and watch the rendition of this song. Its still the best live performance of it I've ever seen. Just incredible energy.
Giants stadium 1986 or 87 seen them all 3 days to date loudest and best Concert i have seen to date i am 53 now what memories, tickets were 300$ back then on the ground center still got my Acid Queen shirt and tribute to Keith Moon shirt 81.
Remembering the souls who lost their lives nearly 43 years ago, it’s great to see this acknowledged by Pete. The Who have still got it going on. Thank you for this upload.
Pete Townshend, as part of his Audible original “Somebody Saved Me,” somberly remembers that night and the grievous loss of so many promising lives at the hands of promoter’s greed.
Oh, mercy. I'm in tears here, this was So Beautiful. The crowd throwing back the love. Her violin playing was so playful and stunning and when she neared Pete it brought a smile. Thank you, lads, forget the years, it's what's inside that matters. Long Live The WHO !!
There’ll be no more bands like them, musicians like them and music like that. Never. At the age of 80, they’re shinin brighter that any nowadays „stars”. We live in decadence times…
Wow parents used to say the same about the lates 60’s about Sinatra and how decadent the times were. Guess it’s just aging that makes ppl think that way.
There will likely never be bands like them that become popular. But there are many great bands out there that you will never hear of because they'll never be played on the radio or brought to the mainstream. The underground Music scene is still strong and thriving. You gotta go and look for it.
@@wandajames143 Thats right, we are all a product of the music, sports, culture that we grew up with, and we all like to think our era was the greatest, and it was, for us. Our parents thought their music was the best and our kids and grandkids think theirs is the best, and on it goes
I was at the concert and was in the crush of people. People fell all around me and I saved myself by lifting my feet off the ground and tightly swayed. A friend of mine’s friend, Walt was crushed and trampled to death. The concert last about an hour and we learned of people dying when we were driving home. I’m glad that The Who came back and acknowledged that tragic night.
God blesses! Thanks, Patrick. I was fortunate to arrive at the show late or my girlfriend and I would have been in the "crush". When another member of our party showed up even later and said, "I just saw a dead person," we just laughed it off. We weren't laughing after the show when we had to pull off I-75 to call our parents and let them know we were okay.
Absolutely correct. I've seen The Who 5 times ... 4 times with Keith Moon and 1 time with Kenney Jones. That group grew up with me and me with them. I get tears as well ... especially when I hear "Pinball Wizard." WE did get to see the great bands, didn't we?
EXCELLENT show! Very proud to have been there last night. The way they memorialized the 11 who were killed in 1979 throughout the show was awesome. I was 19 in 1979 and remember the event like it was yesterday. Katie Jacoby on the violin during Baba O'Riley was a highlight for me!
In the year 2072, Katie Jacoby will be telling her grandkids that she played violin on stage with "The Who." The grandkids will say "Who?" She will say: "I know WHO they are. That's all that matters."
Dammmm,.. July 5, 1980 @ the Houston Summit. 42 years ago. I saw them when I was teen,.. Blew my mind,. Ears rang for a week, They are still mind-blowing.
I’ve been fortunate to see The Who perform Baba O’Riley 3 times, the first in St Louis in 1973 when they were touring for Quadrephenia, the second in Des Moines, touring for Who by Numbers, then some time in the early 80s in Cedar Falls Iowa at the University of Northern Iowa. The last was the only show without Keith Moon. I have to say, Zak Starkey is fantastic. Watching this was like seeing them the first time in 1973. They may not have the energy to move with the music as they did in 1973, but the girl playing the violin part sure does! Wow, first time I’ve ever seen it performed with a violin, and so perfect! This is how I had imagined it performed forever.
OMG...what an epic song this was back in the day, and so amazingly played and sang today. This takes me back in time to when I was a young teenager and a group of us would play WHO and YES songs on a getto blaster outdoors. Fond memories indeed. Roger Daltrey is PURE LEGEND and the beautiful girl playing violin is amazing too.
I saw them at the Providence Civic Center a short time after the Cincinnati tragedy. I was at the front of the line before they opened the doors. An usher motioned to me to come in the side door which he had just opened. This took the pressure off the front doors. The concert was awesome! I remember Pete played a guitar with a large number 2 painted on it. After the concert a black limo was slowly exiting the Civic Center. It paused in front of me to allow the crowd to pass. In the back seat I saw Pete Townsend almost passed out from exhaustion. He gave everything he had at this concert. Great memories of a lifetime!
I can picture the scene. Thanks for sharing. I know that during that period of '78 and '79 he numbered his guitars because they were each tuned differently by his guitar tech, and he would grab the correspondingly tuned guitar for the appropriate song.
@@jazzpotes42 All Respect, but Hell, I know the history. They (John & Keith) were sidemen in the music creation process. Moon was bombastic on drums🤩, world top drummer list, but he wasn't no music creator!! Townsend and Daltrey are the signature sound of the Who! Maybe I'm a bit defensive, but Wtf, I am who I am🤙
As I recall the story their manager did not tell them till after the '79 show was over what tragedy had occurred. Pete and Roger still rock and that violinist was awesome! Thanks for the share!
Wonderful. I've never seen Pete be so understandably commutative, personable and gracious. I've seen them in concert when Keith was alive and later when Kenny was on drums. A life long fan. They've "topped their own charts" with this group of musicians and this concert. Thanks so much for posting this. Peace and Much Love
@@davidbrown5152 I read an interview with Pete years ago. He always put Roger down and belittled him. One day Pete realized that there were Only 2 of "them" left!?! Pete finally came to terms with Roger and the respect showed. Roger did a PBS show back in 1994 I think it was. "Roger Daltry and the music of the WHO". Along with the Julliard orchestra. It was excellent. Roger also, during his concert, brought John Entwistle and ultimately Pete on stage to play with the orchestra and him. I have lost the VCR tape of this show, but if you ever get a chance to find it and watch it, i think you'll really enjoy it.
I have seen them 5 times, with three different drummers over the years, and they were still one of the top live acts until after John Entwistle's death
@@HamiltonRb True, i think Pete and roger should have hung it up after John's death. But without picking Moon up in the low 60s i don't think they would have the spark they needed when performing live. I Listened to THE ROCK FROM Quadrophenia Album and a few other of my favorites like"Bargain' from Who's Next, Moon is incredible in that era.
@@jdefeo9841 Moon was a great drummer, and certainly had a intense chaotic way of delivering the beat. He was the drummer when I first time I saw them in Montreal, and although opinions vary and there is no right or wrong answer, he is in the top 4 drummers I have ever seen live, along with Bonham, Peart & Baker.
I was lucky enough to see The Who perform this with Nigel Kennedy at The Royal Albert Hall in 2000. When someone comes on and does Baba with a fiddle/violin its deeply moving, and this player hits the part incredibly, and her enjoyment is so amazing. a song that's 50 years old. And think in 1971, 50 years ago was 1921. A good year.
Thank you so much for sharing this video! As a retired music teacher from Finneytown it was pure joy for me to see my former students on stage! Wish I could have been there. The Eleven will never be forgotten! ❤️
I can't wait to see these guys. I have tickets to their Toronto show this coming October. I regret not being able to see Entwistle; I could have seen him during the Who's Quadrophenia tour in '96, but I chose not to go, because I had a night course at university that night. But koodoos to that kid at the end for rockin' it out on the violin with Townshend. She'll have something to tell her kids about.
I have tickets as well. Oct 2. It looks like a really “good feel” show. They look that they are enjoying themselves and want to be there for the audience. Hope our show is a good one!
@@davidbrown5152 I'm in section 323 on Oct 2. Come visit me, bud! (I know a David Brown in Toronto who's an engineer. If that's you--double on you to come see me!) I agree that it'll be a great show. Just wish Entwistle and Moon could be there. But I can't have everything.
The high school singers must be looking really cool to their grandparents, who like me, have been listing to the Who for more than half a century.( I hope the guys are willing to do a 60th anniversary tour in '24)
JESUS this song is TIMELESS and the WHO prove they still got it in SPADES! I totally regret I didn’t see them last year on their tour!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely f#@king epic! Violinist was fantastic and still with the guitar full round guitar swing from Pete Townshend (iconic) from the old days! I'm a musician and you have altered my life in ways I can begin to move forward to others. THANK YOU!
I'm thinking, this version of the band might have fit a bit snugly in the Cavern Club. But this was gorgeous. The violin, as usual, enormously special.
I was at this show with some really dear friends of mine. The footage of the fallen, the recognition to their families ect. And just a fanominal concert. I've seen a bunch and this was at the very top!!
those kids in the orchestra...very lucky I no doubt would have soiled or wet myself had I been in their position. I idolized this band at their age and it was goose bumps seeing them live at 15 or 16........amazing experience
@@andrewhoback1080 He's 78 for goodness. Of course there's going to be a certain decline in his voice. 99.9 of the comments on here can see past that and look to the man. !!
It blows me away how Roger still sounds that good at 78
Isn't it crazy! Amazing!
Roger struggled for a number of years. He found himself a vocal guru who miraculously put his voice back together!
@@bcushing do you know the name of his teacher at all..?
Crazy is right. His voice is still great.
Need your ears checked. I went to their farewell tour in 1989 in Giants stadium.
Roger has taken such good care of that voice. Still sounds unreal!
Absolute miracle and testimony to medical science...he's had throat surgery and all kinds of issues
@Love and Harmony - besides all that he quit smoking weed in the late 60s. Throat surgery only does so much
Rogers has had a few ops on his vocal chords
You serious 😂?
SAME KEY AS ORIGINAL RECORDING!
Teenage Wasteland .... chills. Violinist was born to be a star.
Absolutely agree 100%
@@stigy61 THE FEMALE VIOLINIST IS EXCELLENT AND GORGEOUS .ROB.
Someday she'll tell her grandchildren that she was on stage with The Who in that epic moment. How great is that?

Roger Daltrey voice is killer. 78 fricken yrs old, dang. In my opinion the best ever rock singer. Love the WHO
Couldn't agree more with you Don. Rob.
I still think that title belongs to Freddie Mercury
Damn, you go Roger! Crush the vocals at 78 years young! Damn impressive when so many other classic rock artists can't sing a note anymore.
99% of the music made today will never, ever give you chills or bring you to tears when you hear it live. Popular music has gone from plucking the strings of your soul to merely washing away the more random noises around you.
FUCK YEAH!! The crap on the radio is pathetic!! Nobody can play like The Who, the Stones 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I disagree with comments like this you just need to listen to music more often by that I mean not the same stuff
I first saw The Who around 1965. They used to gig at the 'Goldhawk Social club' - Goldhawk rd, Shepherd's Bush west London. The old guys can still hack it. :-)))

Yes, and that is a VERY hard song to sing. I always respected Daltry more than Robert Plant who constantly sings in lower octaves from the record. Daltry is GREAT and from what I hear, a nice, humble guy.
I'm continually amazed by how good Daltry sounds after all of these years. It's really pretty incredible.
@@douglasmccomb2029 I actually met Roger a few years ago when he was at UCLA unveiling a new cancer program for teenagers. He was super nice.

It’s was written in the John Entwistle book that the 9-11 show was the last great who concert.
For all of us who have seen this band, we know how lucky we’ve been. To see and hear this song live is something beyond imagination.
We saw it in DC and every time we have seen them we have been so grateful. Forces of nature they are!
The coolest part was the stadium full of people singing along with Pete during the "Don't cry" part. Roger leaves something to be desired vocally.

Roger Daltry ……. Absolutely INCREDIBLE !!!!
That violinist performing at the end of the song has such a good vibe & fun energy!
150% agree
Outstanding!!! Long live Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, LONG LIVE ROCK!!!
JESUS this song is TIMELESS and the WHO prove they still got it in SPADES! I totally regret I didn’t see them last year on their tour!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely f#@king epic! Violinist was fantastic and still with the guitar full round guitar swing from Pete Townshend (iconic) from the old days! I'm a musician and you have altered my life in ways I can begin to move forward to others. THANK YOU!
Roger's voice is still fantastic. ... pretty amazing for a 78 year old guy.
I'm thinking, this version of the band might have fit a bit snugly in the Cavern Club. But this was gorgeous. The violin, as usual, enormously special.
Damn I remember that horrible day and we know how the members of The Who felt about it. What a great way to close the circle. Love The Who...
One of the greatest bands of "all time."
There are two categories of Rock Bands of the 60s.
The Beatles - a class by themselves.
The Rest - The Who are the BEST in that category.
Keith Moon and Ringo are why I started playing drums back in 1965, and still do today at age 70. Always a favourite band for me. Peace & Love
Highly emotional concert....long due since that tragic night in 1979.
What happened that night?
Such a tragedy that was. One of the great WKRP episodes as well, it’s worth the watch
THE WHO THE BEST 🎸 OLD IS GOLD
Great video! Thank you for posting this! You had awesome seats! The WHO forever, LONG LIVE ROCK!
You’re welcome! Amazing show and performance!
Love reign o'er them and us !!!
Thank you Peter and Roger for this beautiful music. 's Next and overall ...Quadrophenia in my heart !!!
Great!!This ist the WHO
I was at this show with some really dear friends of mine. The footage of the fallen, the recognition to their families ect. And just a fanominal concert. I've seen a bunch and this was at the very top!!
those kids in the orchestra...very lucky I no doubt would have soiled or wet myself had I been in their position. I idolized this band at their age and it was goose bumps seeing them live at 15 or 16........amazing experience
The violinist is a knockout, wow.
I’d do er
Ya THINK?
Fucking Roger sounds great! Holy shit.
This was fantastic. Really happy to come across this video. God Bless ✝️🕯🙏
Wish i could sing 1/10th that good when i'm 78 ----------- FANTASTIC VOICE !!!
The Who...Stones...and McCartney are all touring this summer. Makes you miss the Dead Boys...with Cheetah Chrome.
I've Just seen them in Barcelona. Amazing and vibrating Show, wonderful and powerful músic. Wouldn't miss this concert.
My brother inlaw's brother was there back in 79 thank God he got out in time.
Damn, Rog, sounding Great mate!
WOW really good and true to the album the violinist nailed it. Great job
I just stumbled across this randomly but even I picked up on the Cincinnati reference straight away (and remember that day). Wow! Just Wow!
Interesting to see this. I was there in '79.
This is special 💖 for you then ❣️
We are fellow travelers. We who were there will always carry that event in our hearts forever.
Always knew The Who was a class act…
Always Amazing.
Who?
Roger sounding great! And recreating classic jogging/ mic swing routine too
Great to see them come back to Cincinatti, they still sound great especially Roger and having Ringo's son on drums is cool, Rock Royalty.
Great to see and hear. God Bless you all 😇✌️😎🙏🙌😎🤍🙂☮️🌎✝️🌈💪
Roger sings better than most others 50 years his junior!
Amazing! WHO CAME FIRST! [Both a question and an answer!]
Jesus was and is First.
Roger STILL sounds amazing. He doesn’t back off the high notes one but! Bravo!!!
Sorry to say, but you can definitely notice the decline.
@@andrewhoback1080 He's 78 for goodness. Of course there's going to be a certain decline in his voice. 99.9 of the comments on here can see past that and look to the man. !!
This is my dedication to the brothers and sisters back in 1979.
SUPERB ...!!! LOVE YOU GUYS ...!!! Just like on the OLD GOOD DAYS ...!!!
.
Awesome to see !!!!! Back when I was a kid they were the loudest band of all time and destroyed their instruments on stage ! It was kinetic !
