Showing the influence on the early Who of Booker T and the MGs.
This is also a good illustration of how basically ALL of the great British bands of the sixties (not just the obvious ones like The Rolling Stones and The Yardbirds) had a solid foundation of black American blues and rock and roll.
Man I love this ! To me better than the yard birds. Lol.
I like Moon's "moderation", it shows his studies in jazz, shuffle, etc; he knew the secrets of the old school, which are further embodied on the 1965 LP My Generation.
That's right. Moon was a brilliant musician, not just a madman.
High numbers what a blinding name thank you SIR PETER MEADEN
I' am an instrumental junky. So I do like many genres, mainly 60s. In my heart I believe in Mod and the 60s garage culture...as I found this you can't believe how happy I'am...this is just stunnig ...why didn't they release the songs in their time,this must have changed the times and music then,maybe many bands would have more instrumental stuff and the listeners would have appreciated it more ?!!!...anyway this recordings are a nugget - feel like in heaven!
This is FANFREAKINTABULOUS
In the LP LIVE AT LEEDS, they included the rejection letter from EMI... Something like "we just don't see the High Numbers having anything to offer musically"...
You DO hear a lot of Moonie hitting the rims on fills...
Was this session released in the U.K. ?
The Who is fucking unbelievable
Quite interesting to hear that soundwise they here seem to be "ahead" soundwise of their (then still upcoming) early hits in 1965....
This is really impressive! More down and dirty than the Beatles in 1964.
What a brilliant find, thanks for sharing this 😀
The Genesis of The Who and their first sonic testament! Priceless beyond words
and the amazing bonus: Keith Moon who just recently joined almost 6 months prior
these first studio recordings at Abbey Road. (Formerly EMI)
One for the ages and thank you for posting this.....LONG LIVE ROCK!!!! \m/\m/
Thanks Julian. I really dig this one too.
It's clear how very hip and cool they were.I wouldn't have missed news and grooves from these heroes.
Wow, fantastic Instros and R n B !
I like it.......
This is breathtaking,no more to say pure ice
wonderful to hear this, thanks
this is incredible and very significant.
I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT'S THEM BUT I LIKE IT
Where has this been hiding. Thanks so much for the post
fantastique without any doubts .
This is brilliant. Garage xx
I have a record of this session. Great, chill listening
soccerboi can I ask on what label it's on and if they give any information on the session. Maybe Yellow Dog?
1st song is Plum Nellie 2nd is Chinese Checkers both by Booker T and the MGs. The Small Faces also covered Plum Nellie.
So want this to be the High Numbers. A lot more reverb on the guitar than Shel Talmy but the elements of all 4 players (Roger on the harmonica) all fit. The problem is it has no vocal. Anyone any ideas?
Townsend had a great nose for music
Wow it's so interesting to hear Keiths drumming on all this you can hear him playing alot of jazz
Unknown instrumental ist also known as "Country Line Special" and is brilliant
Some great guitar work, especially on, Memphis Tennessee.
Gravity of Awesome Music Brought Me Here.
Imagine the lads playing this at Woodstock...
the shape of great sounds to come, personally prefer it to the early beatles and stones stuff
their jams definitely set them apart
Funkier then the Beatles and Stone for sure. Grooviest band at the time by far. The Beatles early Merseybeat/Rock n’ Roll music will always be my favorite from that time though. All the soul and swag of Elvis and Dion with a dash of Sinatra, all with a British “boy band” twist.
8:20 and later: a bass Entwistle style solo, and typical Moon-style drum work, and some Pete-style guitar work.
I can’t believe there are no comments here! Come on people
ikr
Go play Pokemon, millenial.
Merci pour la playlist ( Guy platteau Marseille)
Maximum R&B! I love this!!
Can here 'The Last Time" by the rolling stone in Chinese checkers clearly where Keith got the inspiration
Part of the jam at 14:09 is a track called "The Train and the River" by Jimmy Giuffre. And for the doubters... there's no way this is anyone but Moonie, Pete, and The Ox if you pay any attention to tone and technique. Sorry, but it's the truth
I agree Michael. Thanks and I'll check out Giuffre's "Train"
@@NonDirectionalFilms Thank you for the upload! I never knew it existed, and it totally rules!
THE WHO NO1 by far!
Fookin’ Brilliant! ❤

PROTO THE WHO
Awesome! The guitarist, according to me, is very good! Pete was underrated... He know sounds also in traditional style, but even with approach really innovative and experimental noisy sounds... better Hendrix.
He also sounds with fourth finger, that is, little finger (very rare at time; Hendrix couldn't phrasing with his little finger)!
Townshend was a revolutionary guitarist and also a (semi-)standard or a (semi-)scholastic who knew well the music theory and composition of works (see: Tommy, Quadrophenia)!
What more would you like from a guitarist?
It's my opinion.
And Pete Townshend is not my favorite guitarist.... Oooohhh!
Simply, because the real genius guitar Artists, from the 40s to the 2000s, were and are thousands!
The guitarist n. 1 does non exist!!!
@@parmec1875 Exactly. When kids say the want to play THE guitar, it's missing the point. No teacher can teach how to make these sounds. It comes from inner passion and ears to hear.
Before the vocals were laid down...there must be vocal versions of these recording somewhere. Great stuff.
There may have been some more songs. EMI said they liked Roger's voice but they weren't sure what to do with the band so they passed. The audition was set up of course by Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp.
@@NonDirectionalFilms Maybe this is one of those weeks Roger quit the band lol?
Still playing American music. Pete yet to find his 'muse'
best recordin ever
around 12 minutes and on sounds like it could be a Tommy outtake! Listen to Underture.
After being blocked for several years I was surprised to see the TOMMY demos are active again. You'll have to scroll through the channel to find them but it's worth the effort. Hope you enjoy
Crazy when u think what this band will sound like in 3 years
what does this say about Booker T and the MG's?
Contry line est devenue magic bus dyxit towshend Guy platteau Marseille
Great stuff was this Rogers day off
Roger played harmonica. Could be they recorded instrumentals to show they had some musical ability. A envelope with an acetate and a glossy of the band might get a music rep to the pub and a contract
How can I get my hands on these tracks? Great stuff!
Were do they get those recordings from
IS Roger playing guitar here ? Pete said he joined Roger's band & Roger was a lead guitarist when he joined.
Roger's playing harmonica
I don´t know. Why there is no voice ?
is this commercially available to buy , if not why not ?, I love the Tele, Strat, Rickenbacker stuff from the early sessions, my face Les Paul recordings are 'By Numbers' and' Quad', 'Are You ' is probably Schectar/Strat etc...'Next' is Gretsch I would say...I love the hungry freshness about this early stuff this is a pearl and I want it on my turntable Any Way Any How Any Where !!!!!
I'd start with amazon or ebay
ok
1st song Sounds like "Off The Hook"..
*Abbey
I never noticed that. Thanks
Tell us the last century when PT wrote a hit record 😂
The Who's record company says this is not The Who / High Numbers and to be honest it doesn't sound like them.
Sounds like them- especially moon. sounds like dreaming from the waist- captures their wall of sound too
"the record company says" rings like tin
Yes it does.
Was "Abbey Road" open in 1964 ? Why Is not Roger Daltrey singin?
@@Luileadolfo EMI then. Roger playing harmonica.
how do we now for certain there are High Numbers ??? ( the who)
Confirmation would be nice.
It isn't them, I'm pretty sure.
@@seansteel4449 It's definitely The Who.
This doesn't sound like The Who. The drums are too tight to be Keith Moon...
I tend to agree , it's not .I'm a musician/ drummer with loads of experience
And a massive who fan
Si es Moon !!!!! Hacía 6 meses que se había unido a la banda.
:D
is The Who??
Yes, they auditioned different band names-exactly Who’s lineup
Wonder who played the harmonica in the band. Roger? John?
Roger plays a decent hamonica
Are we sure It s them?
Right
C'est presque meilleur que le premier album "my generation".....
Sounds nothong like The High Numbers live footage. This is undoubtedly fake. It's good, though.
Yes I had my suspicions too,it's funny there's no vocals? Maybe the harmonica player doesn't sound like Roger?? But it's all very well played and whoever they are must be the ultimate tribute band?! It's a bit polished sounding fir '64?! If it is real it's quite amazing!
It’s absolutely them, though the first few moments don’t sound like most of the live recordings that survived the era.
It becomes much more apparent ~8 minutes in when Moon gets looser with the fills.
Also at 12:22, close your eyes and it could be Tanglewood/Woodstock/Isle of Wight/Leeds. Townshend sounded so good before switching to those horrific 1970’s Les Paul’s.
Remember, they were at Abbey Road with the white coats having strokes when rock bands came in, so the restraint is understandable. There’s a recording out there from the Railway Hotel a couple days prior (Or at least it’s also 10/64). In the context of that recording it makes much more sense.
It couldn’t be anyone else.
@@midnight-special I'm still not sure?? I have a bootleg of the high numbers stated Marquee'64 and it's very raw,although I think it's actually the soundtrack to the above footage? But why no vocals and why has this only been unearthed now?? I do like Pete's les Paul sound,especially Roadrunner on the kids are alright film,I think Pete had a great sound with whatever guitar he used.
It seems strange that these are all instrumental.
They weren't commercial recordings but meant to show they had some musical ability. If the songs were good maybe someone from the industry would come out and see your show. That could lead to a recording contract.
Instrumentals formed a large part of their set in 64/65
The sound is way too good for High Numbers. Their other recordings from this era were crap.
John, that wouldn't be allowable in court but that's ok. Merry Christmas
"Abbey Road Studio"
Did you here their live recordings? You surely did. It sounds so close to what we heard from 1965-1970 era that I'm sure it's the guys. Some typical lines and style in general.
Daltrey had a cold.
