My favorite band of all time. What do you want? '60's punk rock? Blues rock? Rock operas? Prog rock? You get it all from The Who. Sadly only half the band still lives. I think you'd really dig the story of their second rock opera, Quadrophenia. It's the story of an English teenager named Jimmy, in the early '60's, with multiple personality (4) disorder and his struggle to deal with them and the way society looks at people with mental health issues. The vocalist with the blond hair, Roger Daltrey, and Robert Plant competed for best hair and best six-pack in their primes. The Windmill is Pete Townsend's classic move
Quadrophenia is a masterpiece as is Tommy.
@@morpher44my friend back in 1972 or 1973 introduced me to the Tommy album with the London Symphony Orchestra and I was hooked!!
@@heatherbegs I think Quadrophenia is much better than Tommy because it tells a story with the Mod and Rocker backdrop. It is more autobiographical, historical.
"Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepperton 1978 is a great live performance with their original drummer, Keith Moon who died a few months later.
Pete was inspired to write "Who Are You" after he was actually found drunk in a Soho doorway by a policeman. He recognized Pete and cut him a break if he could get up and walk away.
Not just a GREAT live performance, but possibly one of the all-time BEST live performances… up there with Rush’s Spirit of Radio and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Freebird.
I concur! 😊
The performance at Shepperton is legendary! Plz get on it Britt.
agree with you 100%@@user-uh2ue4bm6w
Yes!
“Love Reign O’er Me” is a must hear- it is thier Masterpiece.
Absolutely
Yes, but hear it in the context of the Quadrophenia "full album" story. The emotion builds. I also really like "5:15". The movie sequence in the movie Quadrophenia, where he's super high and shoves his suite case out the train window instead of the slot you are supposed to store it in, with young girls looking at him strange, was brilliant.
try the studio version or 'Kids Are Alright Version" of Who Are You.
Love Reign O’er Me is a masterpiece of a song & will take you to church
This song was groundbreaking!!!! The first time I heard it (19750 I was a Who fan for life!!!!!!!!!
This was the Who in their 40s. You need to see the 1979 performance of "Won't Get Fooled Again."
I'm telling you the world changes after you watch that performance. It's like, you're still you, and the world still looks the same. But somehow, life is different. Trust me.
I think you mean the nineteen seventy eight recording. Keith moon was already dead by nineteen seventy nine.
@neillenet291 Yes, I meant the 1978 performance. The song was recorded in 1971. I associate the deaths of Moon and Bonham with being the end of the 70s. But Moon died in 78, and Bonham went in the first half of 1980.
Pete Townsend is the guitarist. While he's an incredible guitarist, his real genius is his compositions. The transitions are the smoothest you will ever hear.
He is one of the greatest rhythm guitarists ever. I'd put him right below Eddie van Halen in that regard but Pete was musically elite level all around.
Pete has some solo albums too. Rough Mix (with Ronnie Lane) 1977 is really great. "Heart to Hang On To." Also liked are these: "Let my love Open the Door". ""Eminence Front".
I have to ask. Wasn’t Pete investigated for kiddies on his pc? He insisted it was research into his own abuse. Entwistle was a huge influence on me. They call Daltry “leather lungs”😂. They have an amazing new bassist, name escaping me.
REACT TO “THE REAL ME” I think John plays every note on the bass. Check it.
@@jimmyboy131it took me some time to appreciate his talent. I like all four putting in the same effort.👍🏻
@@PhonePole68 Pete was arrested. Of the 4 different personalities in Quadrophenia, all of them are Pete, and one of them is a bit twisted.
"Won't Get Fooled Again" will definitely get The Who in the PDC Club.
(Live version, of course!)
The Who - Baba O'riley gotta hear this in my opinion their best

Britt already has!

Britt reacted to Baba O’Riley about a year ago.
@@scottNNJ did not know that i was not on her site last year
@@mdm54 The same thing has happened to me. So now I almost always use the search function on a reactor's page and search for the name of the song before I recommend it. Just in case . . . You can only do that on a laptop. It doesn't work on the RUclips phone app.
Not to mention the song everyone knows and yet doesn't know the name of
One of the best rock groups ever, right there with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones IMHO. Keith Moon is one of the great rock drummers. John Entwistle is one of the best rock bassists and Roger Daultry has one of the best rock voices. Add in Pete Townsend who plays a great guitar, writes all the music and is one of the great live performers and you have the best of the best.
I saw them in 1971 with Wishbone Ash as opener. All for the price of $2.00 for a lawn seat ticket. What a show. Jim
Please add "The Animals" to that list!
@marleybob3157 My late friend Pete Alenov was good friends with Pete and John. My friend dealt in vintage guitars and bought and sold them to the biggest names in Rock & Roll.
Agree 💯 %
Beatles are boring af
The Who are one of the original British invasion bands from the 60's (1964). All 4 members are masters of their instrument... Pete Townsend (guitar), John Entwhistle (bass. Aha: The ox, Thunder fingers), Keith 'the loon' Moon, (drummer), and Roger Daltrey (vocalist). Pete is the principal lyricist and composer, the man is a genius. Truly great R&R band. Unfortunately Keith died in 1978, John died in 2002. Roger and Pete still tour on occasion, they are 78 and 77 years old.
If The Who are your spiritual band, you are a 'WHOLIGAN', welcome to the club
Well said
PETE TOWNSEND is Guitar Windmill Supreme...he is far from the Quiet Storm...he is a Maniac on stage....The leader of the band, Song Writer Words and Music...He is a 100% Genius.....Thed who was 4 of the greatest musicians in One Band
Exactly!
Pete is the one "behind blue eyes".
Entwistle was the quiet solid Ox on stage
Your husband is the luckiest guy around. If he doesn't know that, you need to tell him. Not only are you gorgeous, but your reaction to The Who is just everything! Pete Townsend, the guitarist, is a musical genius. He is the creative force behind a group made up of top-tier musicians and vocalists. They were a cutting-edge group in a time of great musical experimentation. You need to check out "Baba O'Riley" next, but you also won't go wrong with any of the songs suggested by others. You made my day with this reaction, because the joy is contagious. Many blessings to you and yours. 🥰
I second both. She's drop dead gorgeous, and her reaction is how I wish music reactors would react to music. She just gets into it, and I can't get enough.
I think everyone loves Britt! Would have been the experience of a lifetime taking her to all the early to late ‘70’s rock concerts! I feel so bad about the crap they call music these days!
My Generation from their Live at Leeds album is EPIC. The musical masterpiece, the power and energy is unmatched.
Their Live at Leeds album has copies of schedules and receipts from their early days, and I found a listing of how much they earned when they played in my hometown in the UK, where I lived before I moved to the Bay Area. It doesn't have the year, just "17th June Bowels Lyon House, Stevenage =£140 = 65%". That's about $200, and I think it was 1965.
I’m 68 and bought that album when it came out in 1970 in the manilla folder cover! I listened to that hundreds of times!
The gig in Hull the night before was better but there was an issue with the recording so Leeds was second choice
The guitarist is not unassuming. You should check out the Who at Woodstock 1969. The guitarist’s windmilling and non stop leaping sky high will blow you away.
"Won't Get Fooled Again." - Live 1978.
Live at Leeds is regarded as one of the best live albums, well worth a listen.
Absolutely right 💪😁👍
Someone else will agree -"Love Reign ore Me" "I can See For Miles" " See Me Feel Me" " My Generation" ( One of their 1st and Biggest Hits ) are all good to check out for one Who does not know this band. They were one of the Big British invasion Bands. Up there With Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and a number of others that made great music. I put lead Singer Roger Daltry High on the list of Front Man Lead Singers.
Roger Daltrey has been swinging the microphone by the cord like that since the early 1960s... so he's got it down by now 👍 😁
The Who played their hit, "Won't Get Fooled Again" at the concert in New York after the Twin Towers terrorist attack. Really brought the house down, pun intended. Great song. There is a great live video of the song if you google the song, then "Live at Shepperton Studio." I saw The Who in concert and then went out and bought a guitar. They are that good.
The Who part of the British Invasion formed in 1964. The early years 64-67 were the Mod era which along with bands like The Kinks planted the seeds which would later become punk rock in the late 70’s and early eighties. Then the bluesy hard rock came in. Pete Townsend lead guitarist lyricist and composer ,Rogue Daltrey harmonica lead vocals mic swinger,John Entwistle bass,deceased and Keith Moon drummer deceased. Invented the Rock Opera with the album Tommy later became a movie.
All the CSI shows use The Who for their theme songs.
Only the Las Vegas series. For example, CSI Miami used "Won't Get Fooled Again".
@@JeshuaSquirrelthat's The Who.
@@tomroome4118 Apologies. I looked it up and saw a different name. Must have been the writer or something.
I still cant get over how they did Warrick in Vegas 😑 haha love this gem
Best part of the show
Britt, The Who is just an ass-kicking band, incredible energy, live is just insane! One of the greatest rock bands ever, no doubt!
For the PDC. EMINENCE FRONT. The who is been my favorite band since 1978. My ex hated the The Who. Except for Eminence friend, she said it was the best grinding song she ever heard.
I was 13 when this song/album came out. I remember my friends and I thought it was so cool that the line/lyrics "Who are you? Who, who, who, who? Alright who the fuck are you"? was played on the radio.
thee rock opera tommy pinnball wizard
One of my top bands all time.❤❤. Listen to their song WONT GET FOOLED AGAIN from 1971s Who's Next album.
Been around long time! Nowadays Ringo’s son Zach plays drums for them. Keith Moon a good friend of Ringo Starr,gave Zach his first drums at age 9
Behind Blue Eyes is such a vibe that it nearly brings tears to your eyes.
Lead Singer: Roger Daltry
Lead Guitarist: Pete Townsend
Bass" John Entwistle
Drums: Keith Moon.
If you have never listened to the Who before ,you are in for a real treat. The Who are unlike any other band. In reality, the Who were: LEAD drums, and LEAD bass, with guitar and vocals.
You have found a rabbit hole from which you can never escape. But a few suggestions:
1. "Baba O'Rielly"
2. "Pinball Wizard"
3. "The Real Me" (A rock song with LEAD bass!!!!!!!!!!)
4. "Squeeze Box"
5. "My Generation"
6. "Pinball Wizard"
7. "We Won't Get Fooled Again"
8. "behind Blue Eyes"
9. "Bargain"
10. "5:15:
11. "Acid Queen"
12. " I Can See For Miles"
And so many more,,,, One of the greatest rock groups in history.
The British Invasion = The Who a cultural phenomena way back when, an amazing art form!
The Who’s two best songs:
“Won’t Get Fooled Again” (Live at Sheperton)
“Love Reign O’er Me” (studio version)
Yep!
YES!
Calling Townsend the quiet one with John Entwistle on stage is quite funny.
Apparently don’t know the band members
I won't hold that against her or fault her for it. She's just getting introduced to them. But, yeah, John Entwistle is definitely the unassuming one.
These guys were incredible every time I seen them, they have such a wide catalog of songs that are worth listening to
Britt, The Who is arguably in the top 5 greatest bands to ever grace Planet Earth..................'nuff said
GOTTA HEAR BABA O'RILEY‼️ IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND‼️
The magic of Townshend compositions, great musicians, and high energy shows. Nobody does it better. You better you bet.
No one can throw a microphone like Roger Daltry, it's a lost art.
PDC recommendation “Love Reign O’re Me”
Go find the official video. Not allowed to give links. Theme song to CSI. Also used on Mask Singer. Your reaction was priceless. Yes, the Who is that good. Looking forward to you going down this rabbit hole. Note that Keith Moon, their first drummer had passed away by the time this live version was done. All those antics are normal for this band. The three great bands from England in the sixties, The Beatles, Stones, and The Who. Really enjoyed this reaction. You picked a great live performance! ❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction, Britt. The Who’s original drummer Keith Moon was the inspiration for the Muppet character animal.
I understand that live videos are much safer than not. But it's too bad when you can't do official videos. This one in particular is hilarious. And sounds great, also live. Legendary band. Woodstock performance See Me Feel Me is a great choice. You must learn about Tommy. And eventually do studio version of Love Reign O'er Me, from Quadrophenia album.
The Guitarist also was an early synthesizer user and used early sequencing stuff to make this sound and also write songs and produce and sang, the entire band is stacked with talent it's unbelieveable.
Roger Daltrey is running to escape his Tommy persona. "Sickness will surely take the mind where minds can't usually go. Come on the amazing journey, and learn all you should know." This is not unlike Jimi Hendrix asking "Are you Experienced?"
Just 45 seconds in and I am already loving your reaction, Britt. I just love how you totally get into the music. That's how ya do it, baby.
These guys were the real deal, and they wrote probably the. first rock opera called Tommy. They were a huge part of the 60's. Good stuff, Britt. Thanks for sharing this one. 🙂
You should check the studio version video when they are making it. Its bad ass. The unassuming guitarist Pete Townshend would write all this stuff in his head and come in the next day and throw it together with the bad. He is a genius with music.
The Who’s drummer - keith moon - was in his own zone 24/7 for his whole life.
Love Reign O'er Me, is the song you need.
The Who hit the British scene hard, contemporaneously with Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Beatles, Stones, Jeff Beck, etc.
All Who videos should be with their late drummer Kieth Moon.
Pinball Wizard rock opera Tommy. They were one of the biggest bands of their era and it was a great era.
Dive deep into the who and you will not regret it. Each member is considered to be among the greatest of their respective instruments, yet the sum is still more than the parts. They have a certain mojo about them. Their live abilities are unparalleled, IMO! Also, much of their early live covers are from Motown and R&B... so that down south, black music is part of their roots.... their version of that music was deemed Maximum R&B.
"He just gave us a full windmill." Pete Townsend invented and perfected the windmill (as well as smashing his guitar).
Oh I think if you watched some of their earlier live stuff they would for sure end up in the PDC, lol. Based on your reaction to this, it would be hilarious for you to watch some of that early stuff, and there are a few of them that are really popular because they're just so good and I've seen lots of people react to them. It's a real eye-opener trying to understand this iconic band. This was a massive hit for them and this is one of the most revered live videos of them, all the certainly not the only one! And if that little bit of microphone play caught your eye, make sure to watch Rodger Daltrey all the way through this because you'll see how just beyond he was in that department. And don't get me wrong, there is much earlier footage than this, it's just that this is so incredible and they were really at the top of their game here.

This also features the original and infamous drummer Keith Moon, who died way too early and that actually happened not too long after this. #RIP
They opened with this song when I saw them a few years ago, at Boston Garden. I'll never forget it, all those Boston accents singing every word to every song. "We're all wasted!!!"
So happy to see you discovering this legendary band! I love that you picked up right away how much deep feeling and spirituality is in their music. You have so many great songs ahead of you to experience!
This is why I come back. You get into the music like I do, and I love it.
I always dug other bands from that era more than the Who, but they were insanely creative. Rock operas, wild stage shows, and when they're rocking hard, they rock harder than most!
The drummer is phenomenal!
I got a new stereo for Christmas in high school back in the early 80s. this song was playing and about the time he said who the f ae you my deeply southern Baptist mom walked by. I almost lost my new Christmas streo.
This is from their 1989 “The Kids Are Alright” tour, and specifically it’s from the charity presentation of “Tommy” in California during that tour. I saw them just a few weeks before this show.
The "windmill" harder thing is not slicing your hand off on the steel strings. Pete has stated that more than a few times he left the show with a bloody hand.
The song they were parodying was The Who's "My Generation"
You’re in for a treat going down this rabbit hole…The Who’s musical catalog is awesome…
This is from their "Tommy and Quadrophenia Live" DVD - this particular performance was in 1989 at the Universal Amphitheater in LA. Simon Phillips on drums.
I loved this song as a 13 year old. Apart from the shear musicality and great lyrics, the song just exuded attitude.
I saw them live in the old Tampa stadium in Tampa, FL in the 80’s and they absolutely brought the house down with their performance.
I went with my siblings. My mother bought us the tickets saying, “Everyone should see The Who live in their life at least once.”
Great seats by the way. On the floor up front.
Thanks, Mom.
I was lucky enough to have seen The Who three times live during my lifetime. They are an amazing experience, or they were at their prime and I'm sure they still would be if they would ever play again. It's ironic but the first time I saw them was for their "Who's Last" concert at the Los Angeles Coliseum. It was intended to be their retirement tour, but they didn't stop.
Legendary band ❤
I read some of the prior comments before writing this and I agree with all of them.
They were one of the wildest bands ever when they started out. At Monterey Pop,
they actually smashed their guitars after the last set and their friend, Jimi Hendrix
set his on fire! Behind all the theatrics is genuine talent.
As a poet, I like the song "Behind Blue Eyes", exploring the mind of a bi-polar
person, maybe even an Irish terrorist by some accounts. In the late '60's and
early '70's even rock music was crafted much more than today.
Much of today's music seems to be a jumble of noise but in that period they
wanted you to listen to the lyrics and hear what each member of the group
had to say with their music. 4 or 5 different performers doing their own thing
yet making it work as a whole. Many of these bands were out to prove something,
their message was as important as the establishment and they did it! Rolling
Stone says that era was the best era ever.
There are two ways to enjoy music, by listening in awe or jumping in, you are
right. Each way is good, in its own time. Use your right brain to experience the
ecstasy, then the left to know how it was done so you can arrive once again
to the God given spot in your frontal lobe. It's like having fantastic sex!
Notice what they do, fast, slow, gentle, rough like electrical nerve impulses.
Ask your husband, he'll understand.
They have quite a lot of fantastic songs. My all time favorites are "I'm Free" and "Behind Blue Eyes".
Can You See the Real Me is just amazing.
Lead singer : Roger Daltrey Bass : John Entwistle Lead Guitar and Vocals : Pete Townshend Drums : Keith Moon (The Legend - God Rest his Soul) Replaced by : Kenney Jones in 1978.
Britt - you are in the land of GIANTS now!!
Thanks for pulling wonderful treasured classic out!!! You have a natural ear for great things.
More Who! Great reaction, Britt. Pinball Wizard is another terrific song from this amazing group.
Love that you love this! So many ways to go from here. "Love Reign O'er Me", Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled AgaIn, but also with your spirit animals listen to "Magic Bus". No way to adequately shepherd you into the Who; just GO!!
The Beatles, The Who, and The Rolling Stones are the British triumvirate of rock bands. Nobody can touch them as far as creativity, song writing, innovation in music, and incredible performance. You are right, this song is a great marriage of gospel, rock, and some downright stanky funk. They are such a fabulous musical experience! Dive deeper into their catalog. You won't be disappointed. Three of my favorites are Won't Get Fooled Again, The Bargain, and I'm Free.
As a Who fan since the mid 70’s, I do think the Zep needs to be added…they were as ground breaking and inventive as anyone else!
What ellet6560 said! Won't Get Fooled Again at Shepperton 1978 will blow your mind. The Who's catalog is rich and deep, but THAT performance is sheer legend. Please do it 🙂
If you'd like to see them in their prime, try MAGIC BUS from live at Leeds! Pete bounces around like the energizer bunny,!❤❤😂
You commented on how unassuming Pete Townsend looked on stage here. This is the 1989 comeback tour, after he'd been retired from rock and roll for several years and working as a book publisher. Watch some of the who's 1970s concert videos, like the "Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again" performances from `1978, and you'll see a much more visually dynamic persona.
All of The Who were amazing performers. They used to say they had a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a lead bassist, and a lead drummer. Drummer Keith Moon died in 1979, so you're you're not getting peak Who here (though it's still amazing -- I saw them live in the 90s and again in this century and was blown away both times, but I know if I'd been able to see them in the 70s it would have been even more magical).
They started as an R&B cover band in the early 60s and started to find their own voice as a "Mod" band with songs like "My Generation" in the middle of the decade, then really blossomed in the psychedelic era and the arena rock era that followed. They INVENTED the rock opera. Their individual songs like this were incredibly powerful, but to fully appreciate the band you have to listen to albums that linked multiple songs together in a single narrative, like the TOMMY and QUADROPHENIA albums. Though if you want to stick with (or at least start with) singles, "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," the above-mentioned "Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again," and "You Better You Bet" and "Eminence Front" give you a good overview of their evolving sound from the 60s to the early 80s. Plus there are songs like "Blue Red and Gray" if you want their softer side. They're known for their power and aggression as performers, but they could get sweet and contemplative too.
Also bass guitarist John Entwistle was a fine composer in his own right (though guitarist Pete Townsend penned most of the Who's original work), and his songs usually had a sardonic, darkly humorous edge to them -- "Boris The Spider" and "My Wife" with the who are prime examples, plus he had about half a dozen solo albums of his own. "Too Late the Hero" is my favorite solo song of his, sonically quite different from his usual work and more introspective, though also with that dark humor giving it an edge.
The Who is a legendary rock group going back to the 1960s. Their peak, IMO, came from the early to mid-1970s in back to back albums, Quadrophenia and Who's Next. Any song from those two albums are rock classics, but the most famous songs from those albums are Won't Get Fooled Again, Baba O'Riley (from Who's Next), Love Reign O'er Me and The Real Me (from Quadrophenia). Quadrophenia is a rock opera (double vinyl album) and one of the masterpieces of rock and roll.
they have great songs we used to put the speakers out the window when i was at my grandfathers cottage the entire lake heard it
"Won't get fooled again" is a must, live version. Story goes that the technicians from Star Wars we're in the next Studio and we're so impressed with their use of lasers, they use them in the film! You want crazy energy, that was CRAZY!
This is a later concert from when they were older and after their original drummer, Keith Moon, died. If you REALLY want to see them at their crazy/wonderful/scary/beautiful zenith, check out the live recording of "Won't Get Fooled Again" at Shepperton Studios in 1978. The energy of the music AND the performance is off the charts.
Since the early 1960’s, The Who have played literally thousands and thousands of concerts, they have played everywhere to millions of people….the writing by Townshend (who went to art college btw), the Titanium throat of Roger Daltrey, Thunderfingers on bass John Entwistle and Keith Moon the Loon on drums…just one of the greatest bands ever! Quadrophenia is perhaps the greatest rock double album of all time…a journey, a story, an epiphany…dive in Britt!
I saw Roger Daltry (singer) and Pete Townshed (guitarist) a few years ago and they still got it! Great that you're channeling your inner Who!
Studio version is amazing, too.
Found you when you were digging through classic country and now between Bob Seger and The Who you're hitting some of my favorite rock and roll.
Unfortunately, I never got to see The Who before Kieth Moon passed away. But I did get to see them in 1999. They were awesome. When talking about rock bands, with Keith Moon, one of the GOAT drummers RIP, Roger Daltrey, one of the GOAT singers, Pete Townsend, one of the GOAT guitar players and composers, and John Entwistle, one of the GOAT base players RIP, you have one of the GOAT rock bands!!! By the way, you made the comment about John's fast fingers, I thought you would be interested to know his nickname is THUNDER FINGERS. When you see him play, you understand why. One of my all time favorite bands.
Won’t Get Fooled Again… Shepperton Studios… if this doesn’t do it for you? There’s no hope. It “IS” “THE “ rock anthem. Not to mention one of the best performances ever.
I went to a concert at Lagoon Theme Park, just outside of Salt Lake City Utah in 1966. There were three bands there: Herman’s Hermits, The Who, and The Rolling Stones. At the end of their set, The Who destroyed their guitars, etc. it was wild. The Rolling Stones played their new Song: Paint it Black.
Love Reign O’er Me it absolutely outstanding.
My first concert~ 1980 Wembly Arena London!
If you were to listen to the rock opera 'Quadrophinia' start-to-finish, I believe this band would be forever at the top of your list. Songs from that double album are often recommended, like Love Reign O'er Me (great song!) or 5:15 (another classic), but listen to those songs in the context of the opera and you will get much more from them. Reading the liner notes written by the main character (Jimmy) will do a lot for you in understanding the story -- they are available online someplace.... About the best two hours you could spend listening to music.
I saw them at Shay Stadium in 1980. Great memories.
👍👍Awesome, Old School Goooodnesss! 🖖❤
The greatest rock band, their slogan was Maximum R&B. Each a genius & to really get the full perfection of this song and who The Who truly was before the sad lose of one of the greatest drummers & biggest personalities in music you need to see the band’s favourite version of this son, this is Who they are: ruclips.net/video/PNbBDrceCy8/видео.htmlsi=ZTcVV9-ktqgKuMyX
Part of this song has been my ring tone for 15 years
You need to see Magic Bus, Live at Leeds. That will confirm their PDC induction!!
Love that you make me hear something different from the music I grew up but took for granted.
Baba O'Riley is their premier song. It has a large history. I can not tell which is their best live person because they're all AMAZING! But, if you really wanna give your fans a treat, find the one where they played it for the very first time. Rock and Roll broke into a million pieces that day.
Great early use of synthesizer. Keith Moon was one of the first to wear headphones to a click track
