Thanks Mazzy. Some great stories about my favorite band. 1976 was a great tour despite Keith's health issues during the tour. Saw them at MSG on 3/10/76.
I saw the Who in 1967 at the Cow Palace. It was with some of acts who also appeared on the bill with them at Monterey pop Festival. Eric Burdon, the Association, Everly Brothers and Sopwith Camel. If you bought an album at White Front department store you got a free ticket. It was my first concert and the sound was pretty bad in the cheap seats so I stood near the stage hoping to catch a piece of Keith's drum sticks- they were flying all over but not near me....I was 12 years old.
😊"I'm a Boy" was the first Who single I played. "I Can See For Miles" was the last I spun. "A Quick One" was the only album I ever bought (2nd hand for 50 pence) Cream''s "Sunshine of Your Love" was more popular with the kids on the dancefloor.
promoting genzolini's books (which i was unaware of and would love to have) is a great way time. i couldn't have seen cream in the 60's except as an infant but seeing the who at the filmore west during that time would have been heavenly.
I love the who. I agree Live at Leeds is a phenomenal collection of music. Meaty Beaty big and bouncy was another great compilation. Tommy has always been a grail of mine. I know i can buy it online but was hoping to find it in the wild. Enjoyed the video. 😮
Last tour with Keith Moon at MSG. They played all of Tommy, Who by Numbers and Quadrophenia. The Garden rocked longer and louder than any of the hundreds of shows I have seen. You could see the Band was really enjoying playing for a raucous crowd.
Interesting books about my beloved The Who i didn't know. I think that requires a search for me. Another great Book is: Anyway Anyhow Anywhere the complete chronicle of the Who 1958-1978 by Andy Neill & Matt Kent, made by Sterling Publishing NY. Great Video, danke🇩🇪❤
I Can See For Miles is an absolute classic that I couldn’t stop playing when I bought the 45 in 1967. The dense, layered guitars still blow my mind. It is one of the truly heaviest songs ever. Excellent video Mazzy!
I still remember the first time I heard The Who, “Live at Leeds”. Wow! Great energy. Then “Tommy”, followed by “Who’s Next” while in the Army. I never felt “Quadraphenia” either. I’ll have to listen again. Bill Graham was great for music. I’ve read that he loved the Allman Brothers. On record, he said they were one of his favorite bands. Thanks for the video. 🎶👍🏼😎
Really enjoyed your video! I'm all ears talking about my favorite band. Thanks for sharing your memories and the books. I will definitely be getting those for the collection. Take Care!
Definitely going to search for the book. Very interesting idea and appears to be well documented. Jonathan Cott has an interesting Beatles book out that I picked up but have not read as yet.This was a great video. Please do more of these Music Books presentation!
Oh boy...this is a must for my collection....I absolutely love The Who Concert Memories From The Classic Years 1964 to 1976. It's probably become my favorite Who book to date. And my birthday is August 22nd. Thanks for the video Norman.
I agree that “I Can See for Miles” should have been a bigger hit. It was my first exposure to The Who. I was really attracted to Keith Moon’s manic drumming. I hadn’t heard anything quite like it. I bought the 45 first chance I had.
As a teenager I didn't realize the social commentary of the song" Teenage waste Land" until I heard the live performance, where the music stops , and Daltry sweeps a pointing finger across the audience , and screams, " You're all wasted!", which caused the audience to cheer wildly in agreement, as though they were in tune with the music. so he did it again. Even more cheering in response. the third time, after the crowd's vocal agreement to the pronouncement that the audience was stoned out of their mind, , they went back into the song. They put on quite a show.
How lucky you and I were to be with the crowd that saw any of Bill Graham’s shows. All unique and I loved When Bill Graham would come on stage to introduce the band. It made the whole event more personable. We just flat out got lucky to see anyone at The Fillmore West and Winterland and The Cow Palace. These places were made for rock n roll. They were mostly wood construction which absorbed the sound, keeping it from bouncing and echoing like Oakland Colisium or any other modern indoor arenas would do. I know someone that works at the Cow Palace and she told me the owners are not interested in holding concerts there now. Such a shame. 👍🏼 on the Who of course. Just my 2 cents on the buildings & thanks for your videos too!
Entwistle and Moon are by far my favorite rhythm section of all time. I just watched An Ox's Tale about Entwistle and was interested to hear how his training as a trumpet player impacted his approach to bass guitar. My other favorite bassist, Phil Lesh, was also a trumpet player. Both Lesh and Entwistle took up the bass to support their guitar-playing bandmates (Garcia and Townshend) and their styles were instrumental (no pun intended) to the sound of their respective bands. It's always interesting to hear your SF knowledge and experiences Mazzy. Thanks for sharing. 👍 P.s., what a wild line-up with Woody Herman opening for the Who.
Mazzy, I am envious (in a good way) that you got to see The Who in their prime. By the time I saw them, it was a show at the Oakland Coliseum. Townshend was having hearing issues, so he played behind a plexiglass partition. They played most of Tommy. There were like 20 people on stage…The good news? Well, Entwistle was still alive. In case you can’t tell, I was disappointed.
If you go on RUclips the author of this very cool looking book, posts rare Who shows on RUclips. Look him up or type in Fillmore West who shows. I’ll definitely be looking at that book when its out.
Btw if you go to the record junkies channel i sometimes am part of you can find a tape of the who’s first ever us show in Brooklyn NY for one of those crazy Murray the K variety shows. Its only a few songs which was their entire set, which they did three times a day I think. Its not great quality but it does exist so it is what it is. Friend of mine gave me that almost gulp 40 years ago so thanks to him for that.
@@edoardogenzoliniauthor7802 just bought your first who book 64 - 76. Think thats a good place to start. I first saw the Who on 3/11/76 at MSG. Still in my top three shows ever. Plus we got one of the few unscheduled encores they did the entire tour and I remember it like it was yesterday.
Yeah, I mentioned Woodstock. The 1970 film. But their next album Who’s Next in 71 was the huge breakout album of theirs. Tommy did well but not like Who’s Next.
I've was always been a HUGE Who fan until Roger Daltrey became a HUGE WANKER when he poured £millions into the BREXIT campaign. I saw The Who live dozens of times through the sixties but my favorite, without doubt was at the small club "Tiles" in London, in about 64/65 where they supported "The Peddlers", who remembers them? But first on was, and bottom of the bill and uncredited on the shows poster was "The Jimmy Hendrix Experience", never heard of them, but WOW, it may have been "The Jimmy Hendrix Experience" first ever appearance in the UK. Pete Townsend came out after their set and said "How the fuck do we follow that" .... Indeed!
Kudos to Daltrey................"I'm not anti-Europe, I'm anti-Brussels, but people don't get the distinction. That's why I'm so angry about it. I want someone at least answerable to me" 👍
Thanks Mazzy. Some great stories about my favorite band. 1976 was a great tour despite Keith's health issues during the tour. Saw them at MSG on 3/10/76.
Totally Mazzy. 'I Can See for Miles' has to be one of the greatest songs ever written!

That book has many unseen photos from that show, too. Also of the opening bands.

Rock is dead they say, long live rock. Favorite music band with Pink Floyd, The Beatles

its a good reminder I need to find a copy 👍

Circa 1979 - 80 they were powerful live with Kenny Jones.
Kenny Jones should get more love. His drumming with the Small Faces rivalled even Keith. Perfect choice for the later Who.
Definitely going to search for the book. Very interesting idea and appears to be well documented. Jonathan Cott has an interesting Beatles book out that I picked up but have not read as yet.This was a great video. Please do more of these Music Books presentation!

“Sell Out” is my go-to Who LP. I love it more than--dare I say it--Tommy.
I’ve lost count of the amount of people I know who think ‘ Teenage Wasteland’ is the title of the song ‘ Baby O’riley’.
Graham made it happen. Saw him once and said to my daughter "that's Bill Graham."
Yes he did ✌🏼
You were too old when Q came out. It's an absolute anthem for people of my age. It helped to start the punk and new wave movements.
19 years old ain’t too young 😎🙄
I’m purging my Who records. I’m just keeping the 60’s one though Tommy will most likely go.
Blasphemy!!
@@SteviesVinylCupboard I just listened to Who’s Next. It is a great album but I don’t need to hear it anymore.
@@vinylrichie007 Double Blasphemy ; ) I find the demos are very listenable
@@SteviesVinylCupboard I think I have some of the demos on the expanded CD.
I would bow to Mazzy's greater knowledge, but was it not the Woodstock performance and film that broke The Who in the US?
Yeah, I mentioned Woodstock. The 1970 film. But their next album Who’s Next in 71 was the huge breakout album of theirs. Tommy did well but not like Who’s Next.
BBC never showed adverts, that was ITV
Radio ?
You’ve never seen The Who without Keith Moon, and I’ve only ever seen them without him. Would you like to swap? 😂
No thank you 🤠
I thought you might say that! 😊
2 bacon-wrapped hotdogs please, & don't hold back on the onions.
You gotta be British to understand quadrophenia ✌🇬🇧
