"And if I swallow anything evil, put your finger down my throat" - my favorite Townshend lyrics, such dark yet empathetic feeling to it. Brilliant songwritter!
@@meneymueller6471 Doug Sandom is original the who drummer, he was the drummer since 1963 to 1965, Keith Moon was since 1965 to 1978, RIP, the Best rock bassit, the Best drummer, and RIP the Best ritmic base of the rock
@@markbunce3405Bonham was fantastic, but he just didn’t make you feel the way Moon did. Bonham made great music, Moon made you feel great. Just my two cents. They’re of course both two of the best and there is no such thing as the “best of all time.”
I was fortunate to see all four original band members in New York City, 11 March. 1976. And saw then again in 1979 when Kenny Jones played the drums. My favorite rock band!
Saw the Who for the first time in 2014 in Birmingham and this was the song I was waiting for. If the power had failed after that I would still have left a happy man. Absolutely brilliant band.
Rubbafingaz1 I don’t think this is the best song ever written but I also don’t think it’s hey Jude either, but it’s definitely one of the Beatles songs
When you listen to Keith Moon's drums in isolation, they sound all over the place (Townshend says he played a beat you could fall down a flight of stairs to), however, when you add The Ox's bass lines, you realise you're listening to one of the best rhythm sections in the history of Rock'n'Roll music 😎
@@AnotherHoustonKid57 Saw then 73, 76 and early 1979 in Fort Worth. I was working at a record store (Sound Warehouse) at the time of the tragedy in Cinn. and we played Who songs all the next day and I'll bet you also saw the WKRP episode about the horrible night. You probably also saw when Daltrey visited a small town high school outside Cinn. where I believe three of the kids that died were from What a nice gesture from hi. He's a great guy.

May I encourage you? It's not gone - listen & see here - sound will get better - one of the best bands I discovered in the last 20 years - I saw them live - georgous and so much more to come: ruclips.net/video/isjGsh4AlpQ/видео.html
quite simply thee best british band ever , they were all geniuses , keiths theatre , rogers voice , petes lyrics , thunder fingers on bass , what an outfit , snappy dressers too
My favourite group. Arguably the best rock band. That bit younger than Stones and Beatles, they hit their full stride as Beatles broke up. Certainly less prolific as they relied on Townshend almost entirely as writer. Certainly not as popular nor as good a pop group as Beatles. Stones were a different genre as they focused on mining American roots music. The Who were far more about urban British young frustrated males children of post WW2 PTSD UK. Raise you... The Kinks
Roger always said this was his story ,and one of his favorite of petes songs ! its truly a classic and so many of us can relate too it ! including myself , with our vertion , it takes me back too those days , in acton west london , where both still have their family homes where they grew up ! and still keep in touch , with their mates from their youth !
Exceptionnel The WHO.. Keith Moon à lui seul est LE phénomène de la batterie. Je n'ai jamais vu un tel génie des drums jouer comme ça . Jamais. Le bonheur absolu à écouter ce groupe. Oh oui !.

Michael Murray saw them in may at Tinley park Illinois. Such an amazing experience. One of my favorite concerts I’ve been to. Ringo stars son does an amazing job on drums
My fav Who song and saw this on TV the other day included in the whole concert...remembering why I abs adore Roger Daltry..he's so hot here,😘 love that long crinkly blonde hair and of course those blue eyes 💙..a great frontman to an iconic band, oh and that voice, what a singer🎶🎵Kudos to Keith 💕🎶💕🌟and his intro. I have the original vinyl Who's Next and Who by Numbers my fav Who albums..those albums had the best most underrated Who songs and now thanks to top American crime dramas some tracks live again as if they were new songs at the time these shows were launched..but unfortunately John wasnt able to enjoy that new success with his sudden passing on the new tour launch, nor Keith RIP both of you 😢 this show was refreshing to watch on TV last week amongst all the rubbish politics and corona virus stuff plugging out the airwaves...I couldnt believe they put something decent on at a reasonable time...well done BBC.
Thanks for this man. Needed it & it was so wonderful to see the original members. Didn’t get much exposure to The Who until after Keith’s passing. Tragic. Thanks again.
This band was so, very good. I can remember the first time I saw them. It was on the TV perhaps in the 1960's. They did their song and then destroyed their equipment. Attitude!!!!The song may have been "I can see for miles"
It was most likely My Generation since that was the song that usually ended their sets as well as the drums and guitars. Look up My Generation Smothers Brothers. That may be the one. It destroyed Pete's Hearing.
One of the things people don't realise about the who is that there will be that odd song that Roger fucking connects with, well there's countless who tunes you could say that with actually. But a stand out example is this. Roger perfectly interprets Petes tunes. Writing this I've even kinda along the way just realised how much roger gets into these tunes personally, The Song Is Over always gets me to that point im on the bridge of tears and many off Whos Next, but I've got back into quadrophenia recently, and the story being so relatable to me has yet again just swept me off my feet, best fucking concept album ever bar none could discuss it all day
He’s so underrated. I think he was possibly the best rock bassist of all time. I also think he was the best at his instrument out of all of the who, which is really saying something when you consider who the other guys are.
To man, now with no name! You did me wrong. I thought I understood you but I was wrong I could never understand stand your vengeance! Thanks The Who you have helped me ex spell the unwanted remnants of that experience.
I love the who because they provided 2 different experiences. The who never sounded the same live as they did on their records. However, they were decent live. So no one missed out on much. But that whole tommy album was studio magic !!!
I don't know what got up their bum (or nose, more likely) but these 77 Kilburn songs all burn really hot, and they're playing and sounding just great. This was all just in a sound studio, right? No audience to speak of. They're killing it and then so-long Keith and so-long the Who.
No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes And no one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated to telling only lies But my dreams they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what its like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what its like To be mistreated, to be defeated Behind blue eyes An no one know how to say That they're sorry and don't worry I'm not telling lies But my dreams they aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what its like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes
Certainly the best rock band for about ten years. Extremely good now in their 70s with Zak Starkey as drummer and able to replace prerecorded synthesiser with backing musicians

Even better are the next 2 lines....though they wouldn't be as effective without the lyrics you mention....
Roger semble vraiment furieux en chantant Behind.
Beaucoup d’expression et de réalisme. 2023, la dernière année pour voir Pete et Roger.
Let’s go🤩

@Lukas Hahn good to bring Keith in the group. He is the best.
Moon is on fire on this number. He played that kit like a madman. Best rock drummer ever
He's the best.
the greatest ever , he puts everything in to it
Would disagree Moon is magic - Bonham was brutal 👍💛😁
Yeah he was amazing, truly a great drummer!
@@markbunce3405Bonham was fantastic, but he just didn’t make you feel the way Moon did. Bonham made great music, Moon made you feel great. Just my two cents. They’re of course both two of the best and there is no such thing as the “best of all time.”
The drum part to this is brilliant. The accents are amazing.
Pete always said the Who was three musicians backing up Keith Moon.
Nice! The drummer drives any good band!
“Roger sang lead vocal, Pete played lead guitar, Roger played lead bass and Keith played lead drums.”
Never once heard him say this anywhere.
Keith Moon was so talented back in the days. He'll never be forgotten. R.I.P
This song grabs my soul. Sends chills down my spine. I love this song. Because it's me mainly. So true.😮😮😮

I feel that ❤

it’ was a code that my college friends and I lived by...saved a cpl of us ..once upon a time more than a few years ago
One of their great songs thank you Peter. For writing this song and thank you roger for your great vocals
My dreams aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
In other words his conscience isn't empty either.
Pete townshend is an excelent writer
That's some of the lyrics from this song
Classic lyric
Saw the Who for the first time in 2014 in Birmingham and this was the song I was waiting for. If the power had failed after that I would still have left a happy man. Absolutely brilliant band.
Far and away one of the best songs ever written , by four of the best musicians ever
Goose bumps every time
Definitely agree with you... so much better than "Hey Jude" which normally is voted no. 1 in all time song lists....
Rubbafingaz1 I don’t think this is the best song ever written but I also don’t think it’s hey Jude either, but it’s definitely one of the Beatles songs
I think their greatest song .
Never ever gets old either. Goosebumps each time, you're right.
@@Rubbafingaz1Well, Yesterday is most covered recorded song in history. Here Comes The Sun is most downloaded Beatles song on Spotify
When it comes to rock bands, The Who are the GOAT, IMHO.
I've always loved this song. Keith Moon's unpredictable drumming at the end is tremendous.
I remember buying the "Who's Next" album back in HS in the late 70s. One of the best ever ...
From a millennial to a boomer, you are cool. \m/
@pauldonavon me too! First heard it in '76 in 9th grade. Still one of my most favorite albums.

Heavy,heavy base and stuff from Mr.Entwhistle. Salud!
The audio quality on this recording. So, SO GOOD!
The gig was performed specifically for the band’s autobiographical film the “Kids are Alright”. So all the recording equipment etc.was 100% spot on.
The sound was recorded on 16 track tape
Totally disagree. Sounds like a front room, unplugged, version of the real thing to avoid disturbing the neighbours. Amazing song, though.
It's 2022 and this still sounds better than anything out today.
Never been a band like them and I dont think there ever will be!
May your troubles be less and your blessings be more.
I love the grit Roger has in the bridge! His voice is so unique how it can go to very clean and smooth to tough and gritty so quickly

Hi
How are you? Truth spoken.Nice meet you here Rachel
Fantastico!!!!
I like how completely stoic the bassist is compared to the other three.
John was fanominal
Most people don't realize what the bass player has to be able to do in a 3 instrument band
He’s so underrated. I think he was possibly the best rock bassist of all time. I also think he was the best at his instrument out of all of the who, which is really saying something when you consider who the other guys are.
Nothing new beats the old stuff...
Unlike Zeppelin these guys created their own music and they still tour today!
To man, now with no name! You did me wrong. I thought I understood you but I was wrong I could never understand stand your vengeance!

To be the sad man

But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you
No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To be mistreated, to be defeated
Behind blue eyes
An no one know how to say
That they're sorry and don't worry
I'm not telling lies
But my dreams they aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That's never free
No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
*fated, not faded. He's fated to tell only lies. It's his fate.
