@@whisky2roxy I'll back you up on that. Saw them twice, both times they were a poor approximation of the album versions, and not in a good 'improvisational' way.
Pete Townshend's Guitar riff on Can't Explain is Priceless and more particular memorable in this live 2000 version than the 1966 original But as I will always say The Who essentially helped invent punk Rock Punk Rock was always around before the late 70s it was just more concealed and hidden with Bands like The Who.
Another prime example of John Endwistle's excellent showmanship. ;) ...As if he needed showmanship. He was already too badass standing there staring at his fretboad...
pure magic... blessed to have had The Who as the sound track to my childhood. When we lost Keith, it was definitely tough to get my head around it, but when we lost John, it was as if the movie suddenly stopped, the lights came on and the ushers pulled us from our seats and pushed us out the door into the dark night. As a bassist, I always knew that he was the one who had written the holy words onto the stone tablets and dutifully held them high for us children to see... Thanks for sharing this glimpse into some of the final moments of greatness
Try 10-22-21 at 9:20am in Hagerstown Md. Waiting for my client to come out. At 6'1" 250 lbs 65 yrs old black male still rocking THE WHO EX LOUD ! AND I STILL CAN'T EXPLAIN!
I was at this concert when I was 7! So lucky to have gone there!! I just noticed after watching one of the earlier performances of this song, that they use more distortion on this version. There is one positive thing in my opinion that has evolved in rock and that is the increase in distortion! This is probably the best version of this song!!!
The Who did some mighty stuff, but this, as far as I'm concerned was the best. Saw them live when it came out, and from then on, this piece always gets me on the move. No arty-farty stuff.
What a band! What a time! The mod band of the age, Vespas, Lambrettas, purple's and blue's and a weekend run down to the coast with hundreds of others to party till you dropped.
I think this version of the song is the best version ever - far better than the original. What makes it so much better I don't even know. I guess you could say I "can't explain" why!
This is one of those rare tunes in that I like almost evert remake of it, by any band with real passion that gives it a try. None as good as these guys, of course. But I like them all, nonetheless. :)
@ 1:14 I find mastery of a guitar, that riff could sustain me aesthetically for a good long time. And during the riff, if you watch, that Bassist is playing frets very quickly...
crazy how if some kid saw this as their first time seeing the who, they would go back and think wow the drummer didn’t age a bit 😂and they all sound the same
Best windmills since Silverdome '75. I was there: 5 Fahrenheit, 6 Schlitz, 3 liverwurst and mustard on rye; 3 peanut butter and honey, also on rye; 15 bucks, rockers, 100+ decibels, 4 buddies.

Pete is Angry Hungry and ready to tear the whole place down... That's what Rock n Roll is all about... Greetings from VIENNA Austria

You Dude. I lived in Salzburg, Austria in 1996. RUclips - Jonny Weiss “Burning Man!” Music Video. I’m Cowboy stealing A Car. 🇺🇸 🎶
Pure rock 'n roll. Best 3 chords ever written.
Love this and the Cover - Version from David Bowie on ( Pinups 1973 ) ❤❤
Townshend looks to be the most dangerous man on the planet. Like a lightning conductor channeling energy straight from the Big Bang.
How fitting that only Ringo Starr's son could come close to what Keith did on this song. Excellent drumming going on here.
GREAT SHOWMANSHIP!
YEARS AND YEARS LATER AND THEY STILL SOUND GREAT.
Godson to Keith
Moon taught him.
Also his playing style is close to Keith at times.......but he damn sure can play ! 🥁
Moon lived just up the road to the Starrs. Used to go over, grab the sticks and say, not like that, like this
this is the greatest concert opening ever in rock history
Those boyz sounds just as fabulous as the first time hearing them do this ! Ringos son sounds and looks like Keith Moon ! WOW !
under my thumb was cool but equal
@@92908777 Under My Thumb in 1981-1982 sucked. Give me JJF over that every day
@@ctrlshiftqq9846 Remind me what we're talking about. I cannot find it.
Arguably, the best live post-Moon performance of "I Can't Explain" ever!
No, the best are those old grainy black and whites of the original when Moon was still alive.
OKAY I WILL ARGUE , IT IS IS NOT .
Agree 💯
I'm guessing Kenny Jones on drums?
@@gregv79 No, it's Zak Starkey on drums.
Townshend gets me chills.
Yes... He is a ANGRY... EXPLODING ROCKIN REBEL WEAPON
OH MY GOD!!!....the ENERGY....that comes through....on a damn computer screen!!!
Pete Townshend is one of the most articulate people in the music business. If he can't explain, nobody can.
He's also allegedly a pedo so you enjoy supporting that weirdo
Still kick ass like no other band ever
Best live rock band in the world.
Saw the Who for the first time, I think 1970 in Cleveland. James Gang was the opening act, followed by James Taylor, then the Who. Best concert ever.
Never before, never since, wi) there
ever be anything as good as this.
Maybe the greatest live band ever... Amazing band, amazing journey!!! 👍🏾👍🏻🎸🎸🎯
I reckon they are. Total excitement.
Hard to argue with that comment.👍👌
I went to one of their farwell tour shows in 82😜
RIP Ox. You are missed.
Why does this song let me feel so great? I can't explain....
Seen the WHO in north London 1973 . Started with can't explain. i can't explain how good this was. Never forget it. Ever.
Seen?
Saw The Who 1976 in Glasgow as a15 yr old. Goosebumps then and now. Saw many bands but none came close to these guys....
Park head, Alex Harvey Band supporting?
Nobody can windmill like him MISTER!!
My favorite live Version. RIP John
The perfect rock band. Keith and John sadly missed now. Seeing them live.. incredible
Pete is always IN YOUR FACE guitar playing. Gotta love that.
Some of the best rock guitar performances ever, the last minute is pure onslaught 😵😵😵😎😎
No matter how many times i see the WHO perform this song it still sounds fresh and strong. BEST LIVE BAND PERIOD !!!
HELL YEAH BROTHER THAT'S ROCK N ROLL
best performance of i can't explain i've ever seen!!!!!!
Zak Starkey is a freaking monster!
God help any band who had to follow there act. Such raw power!
Isn’t that why Hendrix set fire to his guitar at one festival?
Best rock band ever. The rule of thumb for acts was never follow The Who on stage. The Stones ,Chili Peppers, and others found out the hard way
Well except for Zeppelin !😀
Neither should have appeared within a Marshall of one another.
@@gregg06141969 Zep was an awful live band. Usually drunk, sloppy and boring. However, they have five of the greatest rock albums.

To be fair i think The Who,Mod influenced everything the best youth cult of them all,only my opinion....
The Who at The Royal Albert Hall, this is probably the best concert hall on earth!!

Garetphelps should we tell him?

I can't turn this up loud enough
NEITHER CAN I ??? ... ETERNALLY BLOODY BRILLIANT !!!
Bei tempi puro rock❤
The Who.... food for my Soul.
First class, This is what Real Bands used to sound like
I can't explain my love for them ❤❤❤
Zak Starkey good job.
Have figure of all the young drummers in the world, he would be the least likely to have been "star struck" or intimidated at that first audition.
How many people think Zak is a better drummer than his Dad Ringo?
mary k not one person, including himself.
@@maryk446 bit unfair that, different styles different abilities. Horses for courses
@@maryk446 Even his dad said Zak is better than him. But Zak is an extremely humble man. A proper musician. Not egotistical prick.
still here in 2019 and loving it

I love The Who
I just love the start the way the band just rips into it as in the past
who ever said you are too old to rock and roll was wrong.
Best performance of This song.
Now THIS is rock and roll
kick-ass timeless classic.
If you never listened to The Who, you missed something in your life...
Townshend's dive bomber guitar is priceless
Absolutely legendary. No other words can explain.

I couldn't decide if I was a Mod, or a Rocker... so I became a Mocker.........
William Oliveaux You mean Ringo
@@thestrengthwithin4249 They both said it at different times
mod for me
That's a vauxhall car
brilliant

Unreal. Talk about kicking ass six ways to Sunday
We are the Mods, we are the Mods, we are, we are, we are the Mods!! =D
WHO are you
The Mods! Obviously.
We are the oaps we are we are the oaps
What a band! What a time! The mod band of the age, Vespas, Lambrettas, purple's and blue's and a weekend run down to the coast with hundreds of others to party till you dropped.
If this was from 2007,he would have been 62-63 there.The guy is in amazing shape and still is.
I think it was early thousands entwistle died in 2002
This concert was in 2000 so he would have been 56 here
This is how legends do it!!!
Quelle puissance, merci
That sounded MEGA!
Pulverizing! And yes, Pete has become a real lead guitar beast in latter times
Whoa! I didn’t even know the guy hack it even half this well!!’

No. Just no.
This Video Deserves more Views.
Fantastic Who Concert....brilliant sound,great guests.
@ 1:14 I find mastery of a guitar, that riff could sustain me aesthetically for a good long time. And during the riff, if you watch, that Bassist is playing frets very quickly...
Fantastic song
Notice how this video only has two dislikes. And you know what? Those two are probably Justin Bieber and Katy Perry!
This is one the best ever CE
So amazing
Nailed it, sounded incredible
Entwistle
Awesome set list!!!
crazy how if some kid saw this as their first time seeing the who, they would go back and think wow the drummer didn’t age a bit 😂and they all sound the same
I'm in the crowd somewhere here,fantastic gig which I also remember was the day I packed up smoking.
This is how you make a good song great!
That was a HOT way to open up a show and get the crowd's attention.
I lost this dvd

Great stuff !!!
thx!!!!
spot on.
Daltry's voice takes me right back to the 60s and the fabulous "British Invasion". So glad I lived through that time.
True guitar god moment @1:56
Esta canción es la hostia y esta versión es cojonuda. Da igual cuando leas esto.
amazing
so powerful...
Grande show
man these guys know how to rock!!!!!!
Ox is a beast.
Can't top this!
Holy shit, Pete.
I can't explain, but Ringo Starr's son makes total sense on the drums!
The Ivy League, who had a number of chart hits, and also providing backing vocals on The Who's "I Can't Explain
Pete going nuts on the guitar.
Old people fucking rock
Bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!!!!!
On point!
ピートタウンゼントかっこよすぎる。
