- In June 1966, The Who's co-manager Chris Stamp filmed the group up on the roof and in Pete Townshend's flat on the top floor of 87 Wardour Street in Soho, London. The interview lasted for approximately 20 minutes and this five-minute segment was intended for broadcast later in the year in the US on ABC TV's 'Where The Action Is' but it was never ever shown. The live clips towards the end include footage of the group at the 6th National Jazz & Blues Festival in Windsor, 30 July 1966. A couple of brief clips from this film were included in the 1979 documentary 'The Kids Are Alright'.

Never saw Keith so calm and laid back.
5:01
Sobering…
Were you a close friend of his?
Leapers were like autism meds for Keith. Poor dude had a hell of a case to hold together. Let's alone be GOAT!
It’s funny to see how their personalities changed through the years, Keith seemed so calm and reserved in this interview and Roger obviously had a chip on his shoulder and seemed like he played the tough guy. Pete was more light hearted and of course John doesn’t say a word as usual.
Roger was the tough guy. As a matter of fact, he got the lead job because he was a tough guy and the others simply were not. Sure, later on Pete tried to be the tough guy, but we all know about him throwing his fists around and 'preaching from his chair'. They are all bad arse, in my book. The WHO rules...
The Who was Roger's band from the start. Pete took over only because he could write songs.
@@dajdools8834 Rog kept them in the right direction at the start for sure.
Roger turned out to be the nicest person ever.
Tough guy Roger was a bad mother F'er. He didn't do drugs and he didn't drink. He got kicked out of the band for putting all of the drugs down the toilet. He punched Keith Moon in the face so they kicked him out of the band. But I have been a big a big WHO fan. I was reading that Roger would not take any SHIT. He would just punch people in the face. So acting like a tough guy it's not an act.
I like Keith like this. Seemingly completely sober and clear-minded, but still charming and funny. Great!
Sober!! All are high on speed!! Just look their eyes!!
@@SpaceGuitar69 not Roger. He was the one who stayed clear of that stuff. But you are probably somewhat right for the others.
@@Yakkymania you might be right but then that Mod scene they were synonyms Mod and speed( then they were Mods, later they denied being nothing more than rockn roller's). Roger even straightened his hair because of natural hair courls because of if you were a mod with courly hair it didn't fit )....somehow I think purple hearts kicks here and there but like it is Keith looks sober again...AD/ HD and speeds makes you act calm and focused..aww....sorry my speculation....great band one of the greatest !!
@@SpaceGuitar69 well, he's certainly very calm here anyway. And he doesn't want the camera on him at first. Very Un-Keith like. If this is summer 1966, then he just became a dad. His daughter, Mandy, born in July 66. That'll sober you up quick, figuratively anyway. Maybe real life kicked in for a fleeting moment between visits to the pub. Hehe. Love Keith. Most natural and unique drummer in rock.
he is on speed here
John stays in character by not saying a word.
@ArtMusic8 And Keith wants a tan. Give him a bloody tan already!
@@caveatemp Just guessing, but I think he probably got sunburned easily… lobster-pink for a few weeks~
RIP the Ox. He changed the way bass takes over the sound in rock imho
he is on pot
Rock’s best drummer, bassist, singer and songwriter in one room.
Couldn't have said it any better, Mike. And therefore, with all of these towering individuals in one room, it adds up to THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!
Rush comes in second for this!
Don’t forget best electric guitar player too.
Well...
Debatable
I would easily watch a three hour interview of them just talking like this, it's so good!
Cool to see “Revolver” on the desk!
It was such a great album.
I can't see it
When during the video do you see it
@@terrybono5995 1:14 on the left
Arguably, the Beatles best album, along with RUBBER SOUL. It's obvious Pete kept abreast of the competition, and held his own songwriting to the same standards.
Great snapshot of Who/Pop history in mid 60s. Thanks for uploading.
@@thehunter3387 In 1966, they would most definitely have referred to themselves as a pop group.
Keith’s voice. Pre-posh.
Yeah, the real working class boy from Wembley.
Very great band ! I'm 55....i started to listen the who at 14......time past so fast. England gave birth to the best rock bands in the world of all time
John was the coolest.
like Bill Whyman
@@victormorgado5318 No way!!! Coolest stone was always Charlie!!
The best band in the world folks!
100%👍🇬🇧🏆
DAMN STRAIGHT!!!
Without a doubt
Amen!
Second to the Beatles but probably best band live.
They seem like such nice kids...
It is postive that such films about the Who are uploaded, please continue!
Townsend is a true genius, I don’t say that about many people
@@JustTurned61 That brings me great pleasure thank you
Amen!
All around genius
@@The_D_Man truly….what a catalog of great music he’s “ fathered” it didn’t hurt that he had a great vocalist, the best drummer and the best bassist
This is the sort of film that I'd like to see more of on TheWho YoutTube channel!
Yes. We must preserve the past.
This is just delightful to watch. It really gets me emotional, also because 2 of these wonderful musicians are no longer with us.
A huge thanks for uploading this.
...and this is the first time I ever saw Keith Moon seem serious, straight forward and not playing it up. Amazing.
He’s like 20 here
That's what made The Who "it" for me. They always (esp. Pete) seemed to have that self-effacing sense of humor going, like they're winking at you and saying "we don't take ourselves too seriously here". They even did it on stage...until suddenly, they were DEADLY serious (like the crescendo in Sparks or the end of Won't Get Fooled Again). Then? Clear the runway!
While this is recorded The Beatles were not far off recording St Pepper's. Revolver can be seen in the background. Pete never caught up with McCartney until he did his musicals, something that made The Who one of the greatest bands of all time.
Unique testimony. And Roger, very intelligent
Very based; recently read his autobiography. Great book.
@@vayabroder729 😃😍 I will get It ASAP 😍😄
And gorgeous
Best Rock band ever!
The were punk before punk was a thing. Great band.
Hi Judith
They were also glam before glam was a thing too!
Wild how relatable they still are all this time later. I'd watch the full 20 min interview if it was posted.
You had a dramatic drummer, who smashed up hotels. Pete opened up about changing their look and drawing attention. Nice little chat💥
Nothing better than a smartly dressed man ramming his fucking guitar into the monitors.
THE GREATEST ROCK N ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD.
How about the Rolling Stones who incidentally never felt the need to ram their *ucking guitars into anything.
@@randybackgammon890 Wankers. Obviously.
3:29 “Detroit” they mean the Grand Ballroom in Detroit where I hung out, Pete was good friends with their manager. Great shows
Amazing!! This has made me so happy!!
I know it's an old joke, but... it really is very unusual to see Keith being so NOT loony.
Interesting how polite and well behaved they acted in this interview, especially f one is familiar with the history of The Who as a band, and as individuals.
It was different times back then.
Thank you for this time warp…warmed my heart!!! The Who is my favorite band of all time…and in my humble opinion the greatest rock and roll band ever formed….every little glimpse is like seeing rock royalty….thank you!
The 60s style was brilliant. This is a great video, thanks for posting.
It's so great to see them just hanging out. Especially at that time. Historically, it's usually live, or in a still life picture. This is what people want to see. Amazing footage.
Their first USA hit was
"I Can't Explain" played on DETROIT radio!!
Pete mentions Detroit if u listen close when Roger is talking about a hit.
Listen at 3:29. Saw The Who play at the Grande Ballroom Detroit
Awesome archival footage of a great rock and roll band. Cheers! ✌️
The greatest live Rock band that ever lived! 😉💪
Anyone else notice the Beatles Revolver album sitting in the background?
Fantastic rare film love it. Great to hear Keith speaking in his normal voice not the "dear boy" stuff. I'd love to see all the film. Thanks for putting this up.🎯 ⬆️⬇️
I’ve been looking for a video like this all month! What a freaking coincidence , thank you for uploading!! Love seeing these youngens, way before they knew how legendary they would become. Such babies 😭
The BEST years of The Who!
I really love seeing the old stuff like this. You're all wonderful guys, so talented and decent. My favorite band ever.
I saw them on TV in California late 1965. I think it was on the popular Shindig show. I had just taken up drums and was completely blown away by Moon's performance.
Keith Moon is 19 years old here. Townsend, Entwistle are age 21. Daltry is 22 years old here.
Truly rare footage. To see and hear Keith speak so calmly. Excellent to any The Who connoisseiur.
Love this. Glad it has finally been released.
I heard that Pete attended art school and one of his art projects was smashing up a piano. I would think that is what led to them smashing up their instruments. It's art.
Pete had studied under Gustav Metzger at art school, who specialised in such "auto-destruction."
Wow -- amazing this footage in its entirety is just surfacing now -- 55 years later. Interesting retrospective.
yeah bits were used in Kids are alright film back in 79'
I like that Keith wanted to record in California because it’s sunny and you can get a tan.
He was a dedicated surf music/Beach Boys fan. The California of that era fit Moon like a glove.
He also was infatuated with surf music, particularly The Beach Boys!!!
One of his favorite LPs was by the Ventures “Ventures in Space”.
When they were 4 normal
young people outside of the stage , drugs and
alcohol ruined their lives especially Keith Moon.
With the exception of Roger Daltrey .
Before Roger transformed into Tommy incarnate🌞
Finally with sound
Roger using dippitty doo ,phase the band called him The Duchess
I've got curly hair and wonder how he got it so straight even with the little dab'll do ya!😂
This is fantastic and gives good insight into the band before they became msssive after tommy in 1969
Gotta love this! Thank you!
I was born In 1966. Wow. 55 years ago. "Hope I die before I get old" Too late haha
You ain’t old....55 is the new 35...but you gotta work it
Love this clip!
the who are the greatest rock band ever # 1 period !
3:25 if you look close you can see a copy of Revolver in the background
Amazeballs. Thank you 🙏
Look at Roger chaining them ciggies off! I didn't even know he smoked!
You probably know this already, but Pete wrote a song for the American Cancer Society around the same time: ruclips.net/video/HdN7miwZv18/видео.html
"Do you plan on going to America?"
"Oh yes, and getting banned for life from every Holiday Inn!"
And a 19 year long ban from live US TV
Those little limeys would've been banned in the UK had they pulled the same shit.
The kids are alright
@@missingremote4388 if they would have just listened closely to Quadrophenia maybe they would have understood them better.
Keith Moon 👏👏👏 unforgettable.
Jeff Stein (Director of The Kids Are Alright) had this listed as March 1967. Revolver wasn't put out until August 1966 and Where The Action Is was cancelled in March or April 1967, so that's possibly why this didn't make the cut. Persnickety about specific dates - I know. Either way, an excellent find and posting. Much appreciated - a longtime Who fan.
Cheers for this👍🇬🇧🏆🎸🎤🎼
I love my WHOBOYS!!!!
4:05 sunnier! ☀️😎. People always hate English weather! Great post!
They need to make a biopic ASAP, a rebellious punk attitude one like Quadrophenia, with the gritty cinematography of Trainspotting and sensitivity of Billy Elliot. Make it happen Pete! Cast Tom Hiddleston as you!
Nothing could ever top “The Kids Are Alright”.
@@mikew5858 True.. and most biopics turn out naff...
Any good names for a potential Who biopic? Maybe Behind Blue Eyes? Eminence Front?
@@Mario-vq6jv or 'Out In The Street' their first track in the My Generation album, sounds youth culture cool. I can picture them hanging out in clubs and having mods vs rockers brawls every weekend until they get famous, for the second act we get to look at Pete's artistic Avant-garde mind exploring spiritualism and creating masterpieces such as Sell Out, Tommy, etc. intertwined with live performances like Woodstock. With the third act being drugs, alcohol addiction, etc. And finally closing the film we get to see the Won't Get Fooled Again shepperton's performance.
Fantastico!!
What a lovely bunch of lads, I hope they enjoyed themselves
Great video, keep them coming if you have more like this ;)
I've seen all the Who videos & documentaries, but never seen this footage. Thank you so much. It's nice to be surprised at this stage of being a fan.
*LONG. LIVE. THE WHO!!!!!!*
This group was , and is , the best ever "supergroup" I mean who would you replace and with whom ?...........
Stones come close and maybe Zep
Fascinating clip into 1966 Who. Great clip - more like this please!
This is pure gold - thanks!
Either Pete got a copy of The Beatles' Revolver spectacularly early or this is from August 1966 or later.
That's what I was thinking
Even in June they had barely finished it
The Beatles finished recording Revolver at the end of June, but even if they were finished in the studio, the album cover couldn’t possibly have been ready as the album title wasn’t decided until July.
Either way, Revolver didn’t hit the stores until early August, so unless Pete was good enough friends with The Beatles to get an advance copy, this interview would be from August at the earliest.
@@vinceventresca6763 I'm A Boy was released around this time so the interview would be publicity for that.
@Gene Brandi Gant I think the title "The Who - 1966" is a clue 😁
Simply amazing ❤️
Cool footage
This is soooo cool!! Thank you very much for this gift
Colour footage exists of Bath Pavillion from 10/11/66. Theres a very brief clip on the Michael Caine "My Generation" documentary film about the 1960s. Malvern Winter Gardens 21/6/66 was also filmed by CBS but probably just as part of another 'swinging London' documentary and not a whole gig.
Source Link?
@@JZen_25 Source?
@@see4miles67 Yeah. Are there any sources of the footage? (Via RUclips, URL Links, etc)
@@JZen_25 No but you can rent or buy the Caine documentary. It’s about 7 seconds high resolution colour film of Bath. Again probably another ‘Swinging London’ program and not a Who centred project.
27 seconds in you can see The Beatles Revolver album.
❤️😎
To the dude that filmed them for “Who are you?” Massive brain for filming in the best HD at the time!
Keith and those t-shirts! In rainy old England. T-Shirts!!! Beautiful!
Nice footage of the 1966 Windsor Festival
The Who archive--please release the entire 20 minute interview.
Yes don't hold back please. We need things like this in these dark times.
So young and cute! Roger is adorable - but I usually think that anyway...
We are the MODS ! a way of life.
The real life gang from A Clockwork Orange.

Thankfully they weren’t raping and pillaging
That “Revolver” Lp on top there..
Looks like Roger is trying to wind Keith up by placing jacket on a drum whole Keith seems to get a dig later " albums Roger " lol
Leave the video up
I coulldn't help noticing "Revolver" L.P. in front of his vinyl collection left up on the screen shot.I don't believe this is random,minding that Pete knew for this broadcast in advance.Anyway ,this means that apart from a great mucisian he always had a good taste in music.
Amazing footage thank you
HOLY MOLLY!!!!!
September 2021 a great clip of a very young looking members of The Who, John saves is voice by letting Pete, Roger and Keith do all the talking for him.
🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧👍😊Ⓜ️
Why mention the date?
Probably the summer of 67 they were featured on the “Today” show. It was my first exposure to The Who. My older brother and I watched the feature and my reaction was “why would a drummer use two bass drums, that’s stupid…”. At that time in life, I was aware of Ringo and Charlie Watts, both of whom used basic drum kits.
Funny because at the exact same time Pink Floyd were introduced to the US with Nick Mason playing double bass as well.
"so we started to make our act aggressive"... lol..
Am I the only one that thinks the Penguins of Madagascar's personalities were based on this guys. Roger is Skipper, Pete is Kowaltski, Keith is Rico, and John is Private.
So young...
I'm in love with Keith
Que registro incrível!!! Todos meninos, tímidos. Acho que é a primeira vez que vejo
Keith calmo e sóbrio.
