It is SO transparent that Roger still loves Keith. Look at the expressions he gives listening to the drum track. Keith is still very much a part of Daltrey.
In his book, Kenney Jones said that Roger and Keith "got along at not getting along", but when Keith died, Roger began acting like they had always been BFF's.
@@TheJohnnyCotts I have seen a lot of recent interviews that Daltrey has given concerning Moon. He's never gone on about being his best mate. It's more about his praise for his drummimg abilities and antedotes on Moon's wild antics.
The Who were close the way a gang were close- they were never best friends, they were work colleagues bonded in a very specific way. They all had periods where they didn’t get along but they still would have killed for each other. It is a unique connection you see in bands that start together as teens and play into adulthood.

Listen closely; it's almost like the crash literally punctuates every line, like a period or comma in a sentence. Most 4/4 drummers wouldn't even think to do that.
@@seamusburke639 This was EXACTLY what my father pointed out back in the 80's.. My Father roadied for The Doors in the early 70's and was at the Isle of Wight in 70 and he said Keith would just add so much flare, not just to the vocals, but to all aspects of the song. Things 99% of drummers just dont do or think to even do, they are just concerned with keeping the beat up.
02:08 - 02:20 the sheer joy expressed by Roger while listing to his former mate is uplifting, refreshing, and priceless. I might need to play this on endless loop on days when I've lost perspective of the little things that make life so worth living.
He played the break straight, then synchronized his flourishes with Daltry's vocal to act like an exclamation mark at the end of the line. Such a unique and brilliant way to drum as an integral part of the band.

It's obvious from watching this that Keith, John, and Pete all loved and miss Keith. Keith was definitely a game changer in the world of drumming, and he played the drums like it was a lead instrument. He, Roger, Pete and John were powerful together, and it's a shame he and John are no longer around. Rest in power, Keith and John...
I've been listening to the Who since I was about 18. My first record I bought of the Who was an incredible mix of live and studio songs called "The Kids Are Alright". I'm a 53 year old professional guitarist. My favorite Who song is "Won't Get Fooled Again". The drums, especially near the end of the song, were amazing. You can almost smell the drugs when you listen to his playing!
I was fortunate to have seen The Who performing in 76 with Keith Moon!! He had a spectaclar style of playing, a totally unique drummer in every respect! Add the other members, and what you had was a truelly explosive mix!! When Keith sadly died, so to did The Who! It could never be the same...As was the passing of another rock Genius John Entwistle..R.I.P..Keith & John..Long live The Who..
Listen to Ringo's astounding Fill-Sculpture on the song "She Said - She Said" - many drummers have said "I defy you to play those parts and retain that feel." - That generation of drummers had a core of solid time and feel under their 60s wildness. Moon, Mitch, Bonham, and Ringo... forever
the part where roger is at the mixing desk is absolutely true. I have never and suspect will never hear drumming like that following vocals as Keith did. absolute genius.
Moonie's been gone almost 45 years now but his popularity among Who and vintage music lovers has never diminished. I wish he were still here. He would be 76 now (77 come August) I saw The Who in concert but not until 1982 when Kenney Jones was drummer.
Roger to this day is still nerding out and, dare I say, over the moon about Keith’s playing. And Roger actually got to be in a band with him! That’s too cool.
Have to agree. Daltrey is adorable in this clip. I rarely apply the word 'adorable' to an adult, but there you have it - the man is adorable as he listens to Moon with vocals.
Roger was talking about how Keith played along with the vocals, and played straight rhythm in spots without vocals. A really unusual and "backwards" style, one of the things that makes The Who so unique.
Townshend's talent would never have been heard if it hadn't been for Keith Moon. The amazing vocals of Daltrey, followed by Keith, the solid bass of the legendary Entwhistle and the brilliant guitar work and songwriting of Peter....nowhere without the GENIUSES of the Dear Boy....
John was a HELLUVA LOT MORE than 'a solid bass player'. Jeez, he was the the LEAD player of the band, far out ahead (musically) than the other 3, providing improvising, extra melody, horn parts/chords, organizing arrangements, etc. He was named #1 rock bass player of the 20th century ffs...SO...paraphrasing John Malkovich to Clint Eastwood in 'In the Line of Fire': "SHOW JOHN SOME GODDAMN RESPECT!!!!".
You have just told us about the greatest rock band ever THE WHO. Everyone in the who are at the top of what they do. BASS PLAYER John entwistle the best DRUM'S Keith Moon the greatest ever. Roger Best front man and Pete Townshend a musical genius and one of the greatest guitar player. THE VERY FIRST SUPER GROUP THE WHO.
The RUclips video of "Who Are You" with the Who in the studio and Keith with the headphones taped to his head, gets my vote as one of the Top 10 RUclips videos. He was truly a phenemenon and it's too bad he's gone.
Townshend remembered Moon the first years after his death with more affection, fun, kindness and off course celebrated his drumming style. But through the years he started to show some deep resentment towards him. Specially a resentment to Moon for wasting his life. I can understand him.
Based on some of the interview clips I've seen, Pete was getting really fed up with Keith's drinking and his inability to play in a more "normal" manner. In his book, Kenney Jones said he was brought in for some of the songs on the Tommy soundtrack because Pete hoped it would make Keith realize he could be replaced if he didn't straighten up. Keith didn't care - he played on the original record and that was all that mattered to him.
@@TheJohnnyCotts Well, yes. Although Townshend in many interviews said when Keith died, that was sort of the end for the band. He still calls him a genius, and have some fun memories. But Keith waste sadly his life and that was way too hard to Pete, and also his drumming skills by 1977 (when Keith returned from Los Angeles) diminish. Pete was tired of that.
Someone was saying that because of drugs we got a lot of music in the 1960's and 70's. My response was because of drugs there was a lot of music we didn't get in the 1980's and 1990's. I am sad that Keith Moon died. We remember him but when we are gone he will just be a name in music history.
@daniellongstaff3408 one is proof (them) and the other is conjecture (you). The beatles created some of the best sounds, songs, albums when they got into acid. Their music since growing older (they almost all survived!) has been shite.
I love the look in Daltrey's eyes when he reminisces like this! Too cool. Any music lover can listen to Moonie, Bonham, or Peart and instantly recognize its them. Like SRV, Santana, Jimi, Slowhand ... or the Ox, John paul Jones, Jaco et al. You can hear musical genius within seconds, and this is where Moonie just absolutely farking shines. IMHO, his unfortunate death marked the end of the Who.
There are 5 drummers of which I hold to the highest of regards... John Bonham, Keith Moon, Ian Paice, Bill Ward, and Neil Peart. They all had their own incredible styles and playing abilities, but sadly... Bonham and Moon are not with us anymore and consequently can not share with us their life, vibrance, and abilities. They are and always will be legends.
Kind of amazing when you think about what an awesome song Behind Blue Eyes is, it sounds just as good with Just Roger and Keith. Also want to point out, after all the animosity Keith had towards Roger, Daltrey is his biggest champion. That is class.
I was fortunate enough to be of that age group lucky enough to see "The Who" live several times with all four original members. I wouldn't trade it for anything. The music we listened to is now considered "classic rock," never thought that would happen. These guys were my favorites and it's so sad to see them today. Keith & John are gone. Roger & Pete try to carry on without them but there comes a time when it's best to let the archival footage speak for itself.
+Roy Rogers At one time they were listed in The Guinness Book of World Records for having the loudest live show at 126 dB, measured at a distance of 32 meters from the speakers at a concert on 31 May 1976. I've been given to understand that the Guinness people have removed it from the book so that other bands would have no incentive to try to top it.
You must also have seen the "true" Pink Floyd playing "Astronomy Domine" live? That must been glorious. The studio version I still hold up as top 3 finest moments in rock history
lol, I love how Roger is so into Keith here. He has a true passion for his band and a great drummer. Make no mistake, the WHO fought and fought a lot. But in the end, they played great music. (the greatest accomplishments in life are a result of conflict!)
Roger's description of Keith's approach of playing to the vocals is so cool. I bought Who's Next in 1970 when I was 9 years old and have been hooked ever since. I was really into the Mahavishnu Orchestra and its drummer from their second formation - Narada Michael Walden. Both Keith and Walden have really similar approaches to playing, and now I understand.
The Who are my favorite band: the anger, the energy, the raw power, the voice of the common people... Keith Moon may not have been the most technically accomplished drummer, but he was perfect for The Who. And The Who wouldn't have nearly been what they were without him.
@RogerDaltryRocks He undoubtfully was a genius, but he also suffered from bipolar disorder. Despite how great he was, there's still something obscure and pretty allarming about his personality, and you can tell by his facial expressions that he isn't always in control of himself.
Jon; you are so right... I love how Roger points out how unique Keith's playing really is. In this clip, playing the break "pretty straight" and then peppering the lyric with rage and fury. When you consider the CONTENT of the lyric, it is most apropos, and gives insight into how deeply Moon felt Townshend's music. Roger is Pete and John's biggest fan, too... And when Keith died, Roger didn't want to go on without Keith, initially...
Keith Moon was one of the first rockstars as an individual... smashing hotel rooms driving cars in the swimming pools and smashing his drum kits at gigs....
I enjoy playing guitar to Keith's drumming. Only when I'm in perfect sync to the song do I see the absolute genius of Keith's drumming, it's an amazing feeling.
Love this...I've always maintained that the Who were a drum solo with colorations in trebel (Pete) and bass (John). See Young Man's Blues for a full lesson...
Keith was too cool for the earth. A true one-of-a-kind person. Genius's usually have a hard time relating to the masses; good thing Keith had money to hang out here for a while.
Wow, who knew?! Pete and John could have just sat in the audience and watched the show. Just Roger and Keith alone could carry the whole song by themselves! That was great. Very refreshing, for lack of a better word.
yeah no doubt he was and is will always be the soul of the WHO, just would not be a band without him sadly he is gone and somehow i think we all miss that
Any time that I've seen footage of Keith Moon playing live, it always strikes me that there seems to be more sound coming from the drums than his bodily movements look like they should be producing. I'm not even sure that the way I'm articulating that makes sense but it seems to say something to me about just how good he was.
that makes so much sense. roger pointed out a major thing. he followed the vocals and the unstrumental was just rhythm, damn drunk n crazy but great genius
nufc till i die ginger couldn’t hold Keith’s drum sticks. Ginger is only considered a great drummer because he always walked around telling everyone how great he was.
Moon's a huge reason The Who (once they hit their stride) were Hands Down by miles the greatest live act of their time! If anyone's better than them in their prime (which I'd to see to believe) it's only because of technology to.
For your information, Pete Townshend was an incredibly competent multi-instrumentalist, (his first solo outing, 1971's "Who Came First" displayed Townshend's inept instrumental ability, which included his falir for drumming). Thus, his comment was a fair summary of Moon's ability. I totally agree.
Keith Moon was a drumming genius - and the real reason was the way he blended drum corp drumming with Hal Blaine/Sandy Nelson surf style. 30 years later no one's figured it out, but that's really what it was - the development of the Krupa side of the Krupa/Buddy Rich divide.
am a big fan of the who am getting the history book for Xmas keith moon Roger Daltrey Peter townsend John enterwistle rest in peace keith John Paul langton keith moon the greatest drummer hope you feel better Roger daltrey
we will never see his like again, in fact we never saw anyone like him back in the day, whenever i see footage of the who the first thing i look at is keith - RIP
Just discovered this rare clip of my drumming idol and very surprised to see a connection to my R.R.R. Fusilier regiment to which I was 1 Battalion, Geordie of course!
I played My Wife from Who's Next in Windows Media Player. I slowed it down using the speed adjuster to as slow as it could be. Keith's rythmn on the cymbals was still incredibly fast.
It is SO transparent that Roger still loves Keith. Look at the expressions he gives listening to the drum track. Keith is still very much a part of Daltrey.
In his book, Kenney Jones said that Roger and Keith "got along at not getting along", but when Keith died, Roger began acting like they had always been BFF's.
If that Moon movie ever gets made, I nominate Simon Helberg (Big Bang Theory) to play Moonie & Arthur Darvill (Doctor Who) to play my sweet babboo.

Keith was like a rare comet that only comes around once in a lifetime.
Sadly true of so many artist musical or artistic.
What a fantastic description to describe a genius that was Keith Moon
He went to soon
Once in a lifetime? Keith is more rare than that.
Glad it hit us in our lifetimes. Thank you🙂
2:02 to 2:22 makes me so happy. I don't think I've ever seen a vocalist praise a drummer so genuinely. Moon deserves it.
I was going to write something about Roger's reaction at 2:10 and saw your comment. Agree totally.
Listen closely; it's almost like the crash literally punctuates every line, like a period or comma in a sentence. Most 4/4 drummers wouldn't even think to do that.

Always loved his drumming on Who’s Next. “Bargain” has some fills that are just mind blowing.

Keith Moon was the guy who thought up the name for Led Zeppelin. He said that the band would go up "like a lead zeppelin".
at 1:44 - 2:20 Roger Daltrey looks like a geeky who fan rather than the lead singer
Thats how you usually look after 50 years+ of being a famous rock star
Sweet, isn't it? Roger is just tickled listening to Keith.
Your a fucking Asshole
Question Authority - you're a moron. If you can't write English, don't post. It's "you're." "Your" is possessive, as in "your English is crap."

nufc till i die ginger couldn’t hold Keith’s drum sticks. Ginger is only considered a great drummer because he always walked around telling everyone how great he was.
Chunky McFunky lol 😂. Keith Moon rock and roll legend Chunky McFunky a nobody!
he's as much as a magician as he is a drummer - the dear boy performs miracles in his beats
0.45 Not just Who fans but anyone 'who' appreciates music will say Keith was a brilliant drummer! And that's an understatement!!!
Keith Moon = fucking genious.
Roger made a good point, and when he played just vocals + Keith, that was amazing to listen to.
Keith Moon was a fantastic character, king of drummers and the sort of person who actually did qualify as a 'celebrity'........
I never even knew Keith but I miss him so much
Hard to believe the 40th anniversary of his passing is coming up. Gone way too soon, and still very much missed.
Alice Cooper said it best: "The fact that he lived to be 32 is astounding."
Those hotels back then lacked gyms for Keith to express his energy through.
Moon's a huge reason The Who (once they hit their stride) were Hands Down by miles the greatest live act of their time! If anyone's better than them in their prime (which I'd to see to believe) it's only because of technology to.
The most brilliant rock drummer who ever lived!
Fuck!! What I would give to be Roger there getting to play with those faders! I could listen to the whole album with just the drums!
For your information, Pete Townshend was an incredibly competent multi-instrumentalist, (his first solo outing, 1971's "Who Came First" displayed Townshend's inept instrumental ability, which included his falir for drumming). Thus, his comment was a fair summary of Moon's ability. I totally agree.
id bet he was the guy in the band who brought in the relaxed playful atmosphere which is key for a bands chemistry and ability to jam and write
Keith Moon was a drumming genius - and the real reason was the way he blended drum corp drumming with Hal Blaine/Sandy Nelson surf style. 30 years later no one's figured it out, but that's really what it was - the development of the Krupa side of the Krupa/Buddy Rich divide.
He was an innovator..
Keith was a trully genius.
And genius are strange and hard to live with. They're diferent and "crazy enought to think he can change the world".
I love the last part where Keith gives Pete a high five... it was adorable
I'd love to hear more Who Drum and vocals,
Bet they're amazing.

we will never see his like again, in fact we never saw anyone like him back in the day, whenever i see footage of the who the first thing i look at is keith - RIP
Just discovered this rare clip of my drumming idol and very surprised to see a connection to my R.R.R. Fusilier regiment to which I was 1 Battalion, Geordie of course!
I played My Wife from Who's Next in Windows Media Player. I slowed it down using the speed adjuster to as slow as it could be. Keith's rythmn on the cymbals was still incredibly fast.
Roger is so damn cool!!!
The documentry is Classic Albums: Whos Next, a documentry about Whos Next lp. You can get it on DVD in the UK
Keith was so cool. The who was never the same after he left.
And his drums sounded fantastic.
LEGEND...
We love you Keith
Wow, I always could tell there was a different technique Keith used but just couldn't put my finger on it....what a genius!
he was a great drummer !
