The best scream in Rock history! The best guitar slide in Rock history! The best over the top drummer in Rock history! The best bassist in Rock history! The loudest band in Rock history! The Who!
Rock bands like The Who were never intended to last more than a couple of years, but 50 years later and we’re still lapping it up. Thank God for The Who.
Tommy-The Who By NUmbers might be the greatest 5 album streak in rock history. Man I would kill any amount of people to see these guys live in their prime, hell even now they still sound good!
Pete's jump slide after the keyboard break has to be one of the most rock moments in the history of rock. And then you have John at the end looking at Roger and give him a simple nod of, "Well played, mate." What a performance by the band!
I've seen the Kids Are Alright version of WGFA hundreds or perhaps thousands of times. But this edited version of Pete in mid-air as Daltrey goes into THE scream if epic!!! I really can't wait to see The Who at Fenway Park in Boston tomorrow night!!!!!!!

Pete Townshend's maniacal guitar playing, leaping and dancing. Just simply legendary. Yet John Entwhistle, often overlooked and forgotten in my view, contrasts Pete with his soulful, Godfather like playing. I love The Who!!!!
He did hurt them over a period of time and has been seen to say that onstage he became possessed and just did what he felt . Entwistle said he would always be watching as he did not want him sliding into him. Amazing this whole band were a lead everything and I don't think people get that. And many bands have stolen much from them , the microphone twirling, smashing drums, and guitars, ??? I am a bass player and in later years found myself marvelling at the Ox and saying why do I bother ? But he was the best bassist of all time !@@jwprimetime9795
Michael Marshall man I agree! I’m 44-the first time I saw The Who was in 1995 when they did the Quadrapehenia (I know i spelled it wrong) tour. I took my dad-we were on the left side by the Ox and I couldn’t take my eyes off his playing. And on Pete’s knees-even though I’ve seen this video many times before today was the first day I kept running the knee slam part back over and over-that landing was so violent and he didn’t flinch. But it’s one of the most insane moves I’ve ever see in a live performance. I just bought tics this am to see The Who in Tampa. Two tics cost me $495. My wife is so pissed and not talking to me now bcuz of spending that much and I knew she would be. I just took the yelling and kept telling myself it’s worth it!!! Lol!
When it comes to The Who, everyone talks and talked about the bass. John Entwistle is the greatest rock bassist to ever live. His bass runs on 5:15 are absolutely incredible. The shit runs right through your body. RIP, John and Keith. Best rock band I've ever seen and heard live. From the first time I saw them as a 15 year old kid in 1965, unti now, I've loved this band.
*HAPPY 76th BIRTHDAY... Peter Dennis Blandford Townshend is an English guitarist, singer and composer. He is co-founder, leader, guitarist, secondary lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the Who, one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s. Townshend has written more than 100 songs for 12 of the Who's studio albums.*
Isn't it amazing !!? Rock will never die, when the youth generation is rocking hard in their 70s. We are where "they" were, the ones who's oppression, and constraints of soul and love and integrity we were calling out [or fighting/rebelling against]. Well, we're not totally where they were. 😉
Some songs you hear on the radio a thousand times don't do it justice, some are just meant to be performed live, this is definitely one of those songs!
Props to the camera crew for capturing this epic performance in all of its power with such excellence!! All of the camera angles are mesmerizing. This is fucking outstanding! 💯🎸
You do understand this was all very well rehearsed, like a film, because they were filming it? My favorite is the acoustic guitar that lays underneath the track that pulls it all together sonically, think about it.
There are six cameras being used here. You can tell by the lettering in the lower right of each shot. John and Keith only needed on camera each, of course.
Totally the best screamer in RockNRoll. Damn those were good times. Great records coming out all year and my hair looked EXACTLY like Rogers, lol. I'm almost 70 years old now and still love these guys. My hair is different but my love ROCK will never die. If I could take one album with me when I leave, it would be WHOS NEXT.
I’ve listened to this song 100’s of times. The build up to the scream and the scream itself gives me goosebumps every time! That moment really defines the pure energy Rock ‘n’ Roll
The Who. One of the best live groups ever. I mean, Live at Leeds is so incredible and beautiful... Better than 99% of studio albums ever recorded by any band.
I was lucky enough to see them twice in 1976. The most vial rock band in rock history, most political, most relevant. Best is relative, but as many have said, the Who mattered, largely because of Pete's song writing.
I've had friends & acquaintances foolish enough to try and argue against this claim. They might look at their official LP count of, what? 4 studio albums of new material in the 70's. It is to miss the point. Watch the movie. If you like rock, and have a pulse, yours is the only conclusion, Louise Mitchell.
Saw this tour in March and Oct 1976 at Portlands Memorial Coliseum. I was only 20 years old and now 64! Still one of the best concerts I have ever seen to date! They started the show with Baba O'riley and ended with this!
Hallucinant, jamais vu Pete avec une telle pêche !!! Inoubliable...Quel groupe hallucinant, formation originale ! Les lancers de micro de Roger sont incroyables. Et quel plaisir de revoir Keith Moon, batteur exceptionnel. Et John Entwistle, forcément. R.I.P.
@@williamoliveaux3435 Keith moon would be 72 today, miss him he made me want to be a drummer,iam Still playing at 60, having a few Beers for ya dear boy.
Let's face it Keith was his own enemy. He had his chances to clean up but always found his way to destroy everything around him. Brilliant drummer when 'on' & quite a showman but hell if he was intoxicated and fat. He barely made it through this song.
Glad I witnessed great rock concerts back then. When raw guitar complimented screaming vocals. Your body shivered in response to these bands who could deliver. And deliver they did.
It’s human nature to say “ the greatest band” or the “greatest player” or the “ greatest actor” etc etc. The Who are unique among the “Mount Rushmore “ rock bands. They are my favorite band of all. For a million reasons. But the biggest is that - live during 67-75, they were without question the greatest rock group to ever perform. You can’t compare them to Beatles , Stones in terms of mainstream popularity. Or to Zep for their blend of atomic blues with pop integration. The Who were great in the studio with dozens of well known songs and all time great albums. But live they were supernatural. If you listen to anyone with experience and taste in terms of music critique, all are unanimous that The Who were head and shoulders above the others live. No debate.
To say no debate is pure arrogance. The Who was a great live band, and if you force the bottom of the period to 67, you could be right. That said, I don't know if you can testify to this without ever having seen Deep Purple live in the early 70s. They were off the hook good. In 72 I saw the 2nd to last ever concert with Gillian and Glover in Tampa Florida. My mouth hung open for the last 2 hours of the show. They were unbelievable. Give made in Japan a listen sometimes. I think musician for musician, as GREAT as the Who was (and they were great) Purple was even better.
I believe for those of us around in the late 60s - growing up on this music - we're all able to say we saw some of the best of the best bands, ever back when Each contributed to the tapestry of my musical background; I can't take away from any of these bands people have named. To say one was better than another - is to diminish the thing about each we liked. Their unique rock pioneer style (I can't name it - so call it what ever you want )--it's what has made them collectively great of course, but God! I've seen most of these bands --Who, Stones, Deep Purple, Tull, Led Zeppelin----and savor each and every one for their differences. My life was enhanced by all of them!
My kids used to make me max out the second scream on the album cut when they were growing up it never grows old I have but I consider myself so lucky living in the generation that encompassed the 50s 60s and 70s seeing these guys live in a bunch of others those are the days when we still had music
Good point. I have purchased new, retail (when copyright owners were getting paid): Kids are Alright Soundtrack LP around 1979 TKAA movie ticket around 1981 at midnight movie (not sure if original studio was still sharing in profits, but at some point they got paid) TKAA VHS around 1981 TKAA DVD around 1990 TKAA Special Edition DVD around 2003 "The Book of Rock Lists" co-written by Jeff Stein's (TKAA director) brother Kevin Stein. (Ok, that one is a stretch. But it's an awesome book. Partly responsible for my obsessive love of all things rock & all things Who.) Don't get me started on Who music and other stuff which is non-TKAA. I've earned it, and I'm sure we all have similar tales.
I CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR THESE GUYS. THEY WERE THE REAL THANG. THEY PUT THEIR WHOLE ❤ AND SOULS INTO THEIR MUSIC. PETE TOWNSEND AND MR. MOOM. MAY HE REST IN ✌ ☮ 🕊 🏳 ✌ ☮
On their night, The Who are the greatest rock 'n roll band ever. One of the most inventive bands of all time with a truly original rhythm section in both Moon and Entwhistle, a cracking lead singer in Daltrey, and a fabulously anarchic and intense lead guitarist in Townshend. An extremely exciting band to watch as well with many insights to offer about youth and alienation.
Just the best rock song ever by one of the best rock bands ever! Just look at those guys go! All supreme at their own art. Townsend, Daltrey, Moon and Entwhistle. Shivers up the spine for me. Thanks you guys for giving me years of happiness since I was a kid!!!!!
We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again, no, no I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky Though I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeaah! There's nothing in the streets Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again, no no Yeaaah! Meet the new boss Same as the old boss
For decades I thought he was saying "And the beard's a problem on the road at night'. It certainly was for me, trying to hitch-hike after dark in the 70's. There is a website that lists (supposedly) authentic lyrics that agrees with your version here, but has a slightly different version of the line 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the next war. They say it's 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the LAST war. That's what I remember hearing as well. Many touring bands often update old songs with a new word or phrase to keep up with changes in the world. It's all good. When I first heard Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days" , I thought the creepy voice was saying "One of these days I'm going to dance with your little feet"! Ha-Ha! A few years later I was dancing to Lowell George and his band "Little Feat". HA!
Just saw them this past Tues night at Cuyahoga Falls (Blossom Music Center) in Ohio!! Enjoy your full moon performance tomorrow! Wish I could see it all over again! Rock on!!! ✌
@@kimgrandi9937 awesome, yes full moon! Wow, I saw them when Keith Moon was still with them, that was incredible. I'm sure tomorrow will not disappoint. BTW I have an extra ticket if you want to come to Boston! :)
It's been many years since i listened to Who's Next but tonight I needed to listen to this. The zenith of rock. All those years i have loved this song and nothing gets close.
@@Rich6Brew Are you bloody serious…. we’re you in the U.K. in the 60’s, 70’s. I was there and they were huge…I was at the Hyde Park gig after moonie died. It was a huge gig, Wembley stadium July 16 1988 72000. The list goes on and on. Stop spouting absolute crap.
For those that may not know, I believe this is the performance where the band played this song for the second time that evening. Amid the filming of 'The Kids are Alright' the production crew failed to fully capture the band's first performance and asked them to play the song again. While the audience may be delighted, Townshend is clearly perturbed - hence the even greater exaggeration in movements and antics. As a friend would say when viewing Townshend's 'rock star poses,' "there's a man enjoying his rock AND roll."
Epic. Whole song was amazing. Everything sround 7:40 was exceptional. The lighting and effects. The drumming. The feeling. Then the cream and jump. I do not usually care or react to those kinds of things but it was awesome.
Well there are no words to describe my love of this live version. Epic historic and in the annals of a genre of rock long over looked. Cream of Rock and Roll for sure.
How on earth could anybody give this a thumb down? This is the best of the best in my humble opinion - and I'm a musician, for whatever that may be worth.
Keith's air drums in the beginning are epic! Also please note Keith has to have his head set duct taped to his head so it does not fly off during the concert!!
@@joycemckay7488 The keyboard parts are all on tape, so Keith is listening to a click track as he plays to stay in sync with the tape. He HATED having to do that, as it locked him in, whereas normally he'd just react to what the other guys were doing.
First concert I ever went to by myself was 'The Who' and I think it was this year. Hitched 400 miles and it snowed on the way back. Intense! Would do it again. 18 years old.
Wish I was in the audience, omg the sheer power & electrical performance, so fantastic! Biggest regret is not seeing them live, whoever did was sure lucky!! 😊
don't know why Roger dislikes this song,it's one of their best.Of course,everyone misses Keith And John RIP Gents.Still,one half of The Who is better than no Who.
You can see and hear here how exceptionally talented each musician in The Who was. Bloody brilliant. Around when Hendrix was, and friends with the same. SUPERB!! With the loss of Moon and Entwistle definitely a different sound. Listen to this and weep with joy for the musical beauty, incredible sound, and uniqueness The Who once was. THE BEST.

Four musicians, zero bullshit. Just incredible talent, drive and conviction behind one amazing song.
Only in the Who where the bass player is the lead player and electric guitarist is the rhythm player. Pure genius.
It's 2024 and this song still rings true.
I love the comment: "Entwistle is like the cool babysitter watching three hyperactive boys!"
Classic comment
Agreed!
Cool eh?
No way !!!
He is pushing them !!!!
someone needed to have judgment in this band man...kkkkk🤣🤣🤣🤣
This film, is a fucking historical treasure
The best scream in Rock history!
The best guitar slide in Rock history!
The best over the top drummer in Rock history!
The best bassist in Rock history!
The loudest band in Rock history!
The
Who!
The best LEAP in Rock history :)
Well you got the greatest bassist one right
HIWATT Steve eh, I wouldn’t say so. Bonham is deffo better; just listen to moby dick and IMO page is a better guitarist
💗
You forgot to say best band in rock history
Rock bands like The Who were never intended to last more than a couple of years, but 50 years later and we’re still lapping it up. Thank God for The Who.
Exactly, they were great from the 60's tho about 1970 after that they started going down
That's what Keith thought, anyway.
Tommy-The Who By NUmbers might be the greatest 5 album streak in rock history. Man I would kill any amount of people to see these guys live in their prime, hell even now they still sound good!
No shit man, they were right up there with the Beatles and the Stones.
I do too
It can't get any better. This is what Rock musik is.
Good morning Aviators
Pete's jump slide after the keyboard break has to be one of the most rock moments in the history of rock. And then you have John at the end looking at Roger and give him a simple nod of, "Well played, mate." What a performance by the band!
Agreed. Absolutely iconic moment in rock. One of their greatest ever performances!
You're right ! I kept replaying that jump slide over and over!
A pity Pete split his pants 🤣🤣🤣🤪
Absolutely! Here's "THE JUMP" from another prespective ruclips.net/video/UDfAdHBtK_Q/видео.html
That jump alone
Surpassed anything
Hendrix done on stage.
7:46 The single most rock-n-roll moment in the history of rock-n-roll.
I've seen the Kids Are Alright version of WGFA hundreds or perhaps thousands of times. But this edited version of Pete in mid-air as Daltrey goes into THE scream if epic!!! I really can't wait to see The Who at Fenway Park in Boston tomorrow night!!!!!!!
Correct!
The scream the jump/slide could not have been timed better.
Bloody hell I agree - like a missile - an amazing shot
WITHOUT A DOUBT! Long live The Who!!!
My god if this isnt the Greatest moment on rock n roll history im definitely right and you know I'm right
Not even close

Saw them in Paris, January 1976. Only rock concert I ever went to. Only one I’ll ever need. It stayed with me. It was amazing.
WOW

Unlike the Beatles The Who really had John Entwistle's bass mixed really low. Good thing Paul was co leader. His bas was in your face.
@@zeretubeCheck out the bass playing on The Real Me, from Quadrophenia.
The OX!
😎💖😎 watching Keith play is better than a cup of coffee in the morning!😎💖😎
John Entwistle was the soul behind the band.
John Entwistle's bass playing was out of this world on Won't Get Fooled Again perhaps the best bass playing i've ever seen
The only one not under cocaïne ?
James Hope he was an absolutely insane bass player, no one is anywhere near his playing ability, especially on this song.
what he did before dying: get drunk, took a drug and slept with a woman dancer. all the rock n roll can dream of when they die. rock n roll forever
"The Real Me" is amazing too!
Amen sir !
You can't get anymore Rock and Roll than this.
I'm almost 70 and this band still gives me goosebumps and the shakes at the same time every time I watch this clip.

Yes my friend. Bloody well right.
Not Led Zeppelin? or Rush?
@@preving yes def the zep and rush! Caught rush 3 times in the 80s.. Unfortunately no zep they was calling it quits my 8th grade year..
I saw Rush twice but not in the 80's. I was too young. Countdown from the Signals album is my favorite song from them
The point where Keith Moon starts rolling on his drums with the blue lasers dancing around his head still gives me goosebumps EVERY TIME!
It’s human nature to say “ the greatest band” or the “greatest player” or the “ greatest actor” etc etc.
The Who are unique among the “Mount Rushmore “ rock bands. They are my favorite band of all. For a million reasons. But the biggest is that - live during 67-75, they were without question the greatest rock group to ever perform. You can’t compare them to Beatles , Stones in terms of mainstream popularity. Or to Zep for their blend of atomic blues with pop integration.
The Who were great in the studio with dozens of well known songs and all time great albums. But live they were supernatural. If you listen to anyone with experience and taste in terms of music critique, all are unanimous that The Who were head and shoulders above the others live.
No debate.
couldn't agree more
I disagree.
To say no debate is pure arrogance. The Who was a great live band, and if you force the bottom of the period to 67, you could be right. That said, I don't know if you can testify to this without ever having seen Deep Purple live in the early 70s. They were off the hook good. In 72 I saw the 2nd to last ever concert with Gillian and Glover in Tampa Florida. My mouth hung open for the last 2 hours of the show. They were unbelievable. Give made in Japan a listen sometimes. I think musician for musician, as GREAT as the Who was (and they were great) Purple was even better.
Paul I agree Purple were tremendous. Not given enough credit. Blackmore and Paice right up there with anyone.
And I love Made in Japan.
Respect.
I believe for those of us around in the late 60s - growing up on this music - we're all able to say we saw some of the best of the best bands, ever back when Each contributed to the tapestry of my musical background; I can't take away from any of these bands people have named. To say one was better than another - is to diminish the thing about each we liked. Their unique rock pioneer style (I can't name it - so call it what ever you want )--it's what has made them collectively great of course, but God! I've seen most of these bands --Who, Stones, Deep Purple, Tull, Led Zeppelin----and savor each and every one for their differences. My life was enhanced by all of them!
Pete Townsend and The Who amongst other great achievements they are the greatest stage act ever. No one will ever come close to them.
Agreed but catch Emerson Lake and Palmer .
7:46.. the single greatest moment in rock history.... 'nuff said!
U. Soo
The Who had so much energy to give. The power slide proves that.
Man. Has there ever been a rock guitar player with the energy and moves of Pete Townsend?
yes, lil wayne.
That was a huge joke. hell no.
HA
Angus Young. Edward Van Halen in his prime.
No
@@johnbalducci3507 yeah alright Angus Young too
The Who Still Kick Ass In 2019 And Will In 2099 And 3099
That scream man I'll tell ya . Still sends chills up your back dosnt it?
Every
Single
Time
I saw them in 2017 in Vegas and this was their encore song... He fucking KILLED it then too, even 40 years later! It was incredible!
My kids used to make me max out the second scream on the album cut when they were growing up it never grows old I have but I consider myself so lucky living in the generation that encompassed the 50s 60s and 70s seeing these guys live in a bunch of others those are the days when we still had music
Pete (and record company) if you read this please don't get this taken down. We've bought your music. Let's us enjoy this!
Good point. I have purchased new, retail (when copyright owners were getting paid):
Kids are Alright Soundtrack LP around 1979
TKAA movie ticket around 1981 at midnight movie (not sure if original studio was still sharing in profits, but at some point they got paid)
TKAA VHS around 1981
TKAA DVD around 1990
TKAA Special Edition DVD around 2003
"The Book of Rock Lists" co-written by Jeff Stein's (TKAA director) brother Kevin Stein. (Ok, that one is a stretch. But it's an awesome book. Partly responsible for my obsessive love of all things rock & all things Who.)
Don't get me started on Who music and other stuff which is non-TKAA. I've earned it, and I'm sure we all have similar tales.
I CRY EVERY TIME I HEAR THESE GUYS. THEY WERE THE REAL THANG. THEY PUT THEIR WHOLE ❤ AND SOULS INTO THEIR MUSIC. PETE TOWNSEND AND MR. MOOM. MAY HE REST IN ✌ ☮ 🕊 🏳 ✌ ☮
Just brilliant.
Crying right now!
On their night, The Who are the greatest rock 'n roll band ever. One of the most inventive bands of all time with a truly original rhythm section in both Moon and Entwhistle, a cracking lead singer in Daltrey, and a fabulously anarchic and intense lead guitarist in Townshend. An extremely exciting band to watch as well with many insights to offer about youth and alienation.
Holy crap, this is rock and roll.
Just the best rock song ever by one of the best rock bands ever! Just look at those guys go! All supreme at their own art. Townsend, Daltrey, Moon and Entwhistle. Shivers up the spine for me. Thanks you guys for giving me years of happiness since I was a kid!!!!!
~ There's no h in Entwistle. I hate when people do that.
@@5jerry1 Mhe too!
Who gives a shit you t****r
Go and get a life w****r
70 yrs old but won't get fooled again....
I got chills when Daultry screamed and Townsend jumped through the air behind him!!
Ooo get some curtains loveyszzz?!!..
We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worship will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
They decide and the shotgun sings the song
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
The change, it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they are flown in the next war
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, no, no
I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya?
Yeaah!
There's nothing in the streets
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight
I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again, no no
Yeaaah!
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
For decades I thought he was saying "And the beard's a problem on the road at night'. It certainly was for me, trying to hitch-hike after dark in the 70's.
There is a website that lists (supposedly) authentic lyrics that agrees with your version here, but has a slightly different version of the line 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the next war. They say it's 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the LAST war. That's what I remember hearing as well.
Many touring bands often update old songs with a new word or phrase to keep up with changes in the world. It's all good.
When I first heard Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days" , I thought the creepy voice was saying "One of these days I'm going to dance with your little feet"! Ha-Ha!
A few years later I was dancing to Lowell George and his band "Little Feat". HA!
These were the words of a prophet and a genius
That's a perfect example of Controlled chaos.
Agreed. And there's no error possible
unleashed
Chaotic neutral
Complete control
Entwhistle held it all together.
This never gets old!!!! Greatest Band Ever!!! Going to see them tomorrow Friday 13, 2019 at Fenway Park!!! Rock on!!!
Just saw them this past Tues night at Cuyahoga Falls (Blossom Music Center) in Ohio!! Enjoy your full moon performance tomorrow! Wish I could see it all over again! Rock on!!! ✌
@@kimgrandi9937 awesome, yes full moon! Wow, I saw them when Keith Moon was still with them, that was incredible. I'm sure tomorrow will not disappoint. BTW I have an extra ticket if you want to come to Boston! :)
It's been many years since i listened to Who's Next but tonight I needed to listen to this. The zenith of rock. All those years i have loved this song and nothing gets close.
Pete bled for our rock and roll sins.
Imagine someone in 1978 who has yet to experience The Who, so you take them to a concert and this song is their introduction to The Who.
A gift. Most talented and crazy band ever. So under appreciated
The Who were never underappreciated. They were as popular - and famous - as anybody in their day.
Eh? Where exactly?
@@DavidJohnson-pp4sy The UK and America, for starters.
Under appreciated??
@@Rich6Brew Are you bloody serious…. we’re you in the U.K. in the 60’s, 70’s. I was there and they were huge…I was at the Hyde Park gig after moonie died. It was a huge gig, Wembley stadium July 16 1988 72000. The list goes on and on. Stop spouting absolute crap.
Look anywhere you want,this is the track that defined the 70s, performed by the only explosive super group that defined that generation, full stop.
Legends. Would have loved to see the Who and AC/DC together, nothing would be left standing !!!!
I did just that - Wembley 1979 - epic!
sandra greenwood
Moonie and Bon out together. That would have been beyond insane !!
The definition of Rock and Roll..WOW!
Best,bar none,the best live show I have ever seen
I love the opening to this song, it sounds so spacey and futuristic even though this song is pushing 50 now. It still sounds great!
For those that may not know, I believe this is the performance where the band played this song for the second time that evening. Amid the filming of 'The Kids are Alright' the production crew failed to fully capture the band's first performance and asked them to play the song again. While the audience may be delighted, Townshend is clearly perturbed - hence the even greater exaggeration in movements and antics. As a friend would say when viewing Townshend's 'rock star poses,' "there's a man enjoying his rock AND roll."
Man, I’m 28 years old and I wish music today came out like this
Epic. Whole song was amazing. Everything sround 7:40 was exceptional. The lighting and effects. The drumming. The feeling. Then the cream and jump. I do not usually care or react to those kinds of things but it was awesome.
Well there are no words to describe my love of this live version. Epic historic and in the annals of a genre of rock long over looked. Cream of Rock and Roll for sure.
How on earth could anybody give this a thumb down? This is the best of the best in my humble opinion - and I'm a musician, for whatever that may be worth.
My first ever concert was 1981 Portland Oregon. The Who. Have not been the same since...
7:47 i love how Pete just flies by
This show was the best of the best of a band that will go down in american folklore as legends!!
Keith's air drums in the beginning are epic! Also please note Keith has to have his head set duct taped to his head so it does not fly off during the concert!!
joseph melican could you explain why he’s wearing a headset? Not joking, I am curious. Thank you.
@@joycemckay7488 The keyboard parts are all on tape, so Keith is listening to a click track as he plays to stay in sync with the tape. He HATED having to do that, as it locked him in, whereas normally he'd just react to what the other guys were doing.
Than you very much.
First concert I ever went to by myself was 'The Who' and I think it was this year. Hitched 400 miles and it snowed on the way back. Intense! Would do it again. 18 years old.
Wish I was in the audience, omg the sheer power & electrical performance, so fantastic!
Biggest regret is not seeing them live, whoever did was sure lucky!! 😊
don't know why Roger dislikes this song,it's one of their best.Of course,everyone misses Keith And John RIP Gents.Still,one half of The Who is better than no Who.
That scream still sends shivers through me! So raw and powerful!
its my new alarm tone
Gaffer tapes the Headphones on.! What a drummer!
always amusing: "Gaffer" in German means "gawker".
@@kulturfreund6631 LOL! Fun!
You can see and hear here how exceptionally talented each musician in The Who was. Bloody brilliant. Around when Hendrix was, and friends with the same. SUPERB!! With the loss of Moon and Entwistle definitely a different sound. Listen to this and weep with joy for the musical beauty, incredible sound, and uniqueness The Who once was. THE BEST.
The Who my number one for 40 years!
It's just so powerful, you can't get enough!
