Mania aside, watch old vids of Townshend and Moon constantly inventing jams on the fly and you'll understand. They'll come almost full stop in the middle of something, Pete stomps out a beat, Moon echoes it, and off they go in a new direction. Great as Kenny Jones was, he did not have the capacity/instincts/etc to do that kid of seat of the pants stuff. What had been a wild beast began to be tamed. Zak was really just starting to get the hang of it when John died, and then, as they say, the bottom dropped out. Those last runs with Entwistle in the early aughts were pretty impressive.
@@Ft.Gagiano He loved Keith, can you blame him for not liking Jones as much? The Small Faces being one of my favorite bands, I love Jones. However, I don’t blame Roger for the way he feels. Keith was truly one a kind and for Roger, he lost a longtime friend to see him replaced..
I absolutely love this album, I have always liked the Who, there's something about this particular album from the minute it starts with New Song it just gets better
1 year before Roger started feeling they were playing "like a pub band playing covers" ( "Thanks a lot Mr Kibblewhite" p270) , they are still hovering miles above all the other contenders for the title of "Best Live Act of the Millenium"
Love this song always have . This the the highlight of the 30 years maximum R&B. Love when pete gets in the groove and just before he sqings his arm stares straight down the camera lense
Pete was extremely supportive of the Punk Rock movement. He saw his own reflection in what they were doing. Of course none of them have outlasted the WHO!
I liked Kenny Jones he had an impossible task of replacing the legendary Keith Moon. But Face Dances and It’s Hard are both solid albums. Kenny toured with them in the humongous 1982 It’s Hard album tour.
Jones was there for one of their best tours, recorded some awesome tracks with them, and he kicked ass in the Small Faces! There’s no replacing the truly unique Keith Moon, but what more could you ask of the drummer who stepped up to the plate? Jones is a certified badass drummer in my opinion.

This song was only played a handful of times ever alive, when it was recorded Keith just could not get the drums right it was just too technical or something the timing Rodger said he just couldn't get it and after the album came out Keith died. Then he said they played it like twice with Kenny and then in 2002 they rehearsed it and we're going to play it and John died before they got to play it so they started thinking the song was cursed and agreed to never even consider playing it live again. Here's your rock history for the day
Como na whiplash mencionou o the who na gosta de tocar essa faixa eles dizem que ela é maldição, eu não acho isso não é uma faixa surpreendente para morrer basta está vivo, todo mundo morre um dia isso é normal pode ser segundos , minutos, horas, semanas, dias, meses, anos, a morte é normal jamais vamos ser imortais 😎👍🔊🎵🎶👊👣🥁🎤🎷🎺🎸🤟🤘🇧🇷🙌🌤️
A song the who will not play anymore. The drum timing Keith moon couldn’t play. On the album who are you, it’s not moon playing and when it was recorded moon died soon after. Also their other other drummer John died in 2002 after playing this song in rehearsal.
@@thomasrudy6132 During recording sessions, multi-instrumentalist Pete Townshend played drums on numerous tracks in the studio. For example, Keith Moon has always struggled with groove, so Pete played drums on the studio version of Love Reign O'er Me.
im a drummer of 42 yrs. No wonder Keith couldn't play the complex rhythm on this-SO they hired a session drummer instead. Its just the other 2 flexing their virtuoso music skills. And for ME is bloody awful! Try tapping your foot to see what i mean! Its not the who-its the WHAT? Kenny is great on this version though-well better than studio version.
I can’t see why anyone would have had a problem playing on this track It’s pretty much all 4/4 and 3/4. And I love this song. Fantastic solo from Pete on this version, even the few scruffy moments work.
@@TheOverlordOfProcrastination "Music Must Change" is actually a 6/8 time signature regarding the original album version. Keith Moon had problems with it. Then Pete got the idea and said to Jon Astley to record "steps," because Moon, as Astley quoted Townshend's words in an interview, "don't know and never knew to play 6/8 groove." Anyway, the drumless studio version of Music Must Change is a masterwork on its own.
This is a song Moonie could not play. He couldn't play in 3/4 time. Kenny Jones kills it. Jones was a much better drummer than Moon. Moon could only play Moon drums in 4/4 or 2/2 time. Jones could play anything.
It is not in 3/4 time, its 6/8. Like 'love reign o'er me' which he had no problem with. He was'nt in shape when this song was recorded. If you claim Jones was better you couldnt possibly have listened to Moon when he was at top. Taste is another thing completly though. You're as entitled to yours as I am to mine
I'm pointing this out only to note that Moon had been playing the same beat for years, but was not able to do so in 1978 due to his health from the drug & drink finally catching up to him. Very,very, sad!
I fail to understand how any one can possibly complain that Kenny was weak...with him they sounded utterly fantastic!
Yeah. I knever could get Roger's misgivings on Kenny Jones as drummer.
And both albums with Kenny sold incredibly well
He does an excellent job on this song. We just complain to honor the original incomparable Keith Moon.

This album is underrated. This song is so intellectual, and that groove!
I absolutely love this album, I have always liked the Who, there's something about this particular album from the minute it starts with New Song it just gets better
Although Pete wasn't totally consistent with his solos, i love his style, and some of his quirky phrases are SO tasty.
Pete singing the middle 8 was always very effective.
What a f-ing jam !!!❤❤❤
Hidden gem from Who are You! Great performance too!

Had never heard this before. Such a sophisticated composition... Good times
Wow, absolutely amazing
3:22 Awesome Townshend vocal! Love these little gems in these songs, much like the amazing Baba O'Riley "don't cry" bridge.
Buba O Riley is definitely one of the best songs ever, musicians from this era, they really knew how to kick ass whether solo or in their bands
Who moment
A very under rated song…..
But spot on….
The music must and always will change….❤😎
Pete was extremely supportive of the Punk Rock movement. He saw his own reflection in what they were doing. Of course none of them have outlasted the WHO!
Eight and a half minutes. Wonderful!
Great version, I wish the studio version was this good.
Was at this show in Chicago. First time seeing the lads. It was Fantastic
badass waltz timing
Great live version of a deep track from Who are you!
Daltrey is fantastic on this.
I just love this complex song. Pity that it remained in 2nd row althought it s a hidden treasure equal with the ones we consider as classic.
I don't God will ever duplicate the massive concentration of talent of the three Big British Bands who sprouted in the 60's.
Four , at least
Male it Four with the Kinks.
I give this song 6 out of 8.

Gran canción
Dynamic sound
Entwhistle the coolest mofo in the Who 🇬🇧
This is the tour I saw the first time I saw them...
Pete and Rabbit were tearing it up during the solo!

Roger said Mooney couldn't play the drum beat to this so somebody else played it on the LP.
I never saw this Telecaster again after this tour. Maybe on White City?
il y à le concert en entier en 4 K ( Guy platteau Marseille France)
Is that Bobby Keys on sax?
Dick parry on sax Dave Caswell trumpet & Reg Brooks trombone my dad
Daltrey said on Howard stern, moon couldn't do drums to this, died year later

Wasn't this song something of a goodbye to Keith Moon?

john? john who? entwistle? john entwistle played bass guitar, not drums

Swings even
Poor Pete looked so out of it 😢
Was on coke, H and Ativan plus booze
@user-fu2mi1nd5l he was trying to be Keith Moon as well as himself. Almost OD''d in 1980
And I didn't even mention The Cream.

You're as entitled to yours as I am to mine
Pete please go to bed
srsly, poor guy looks thrashed
Moon played on NAKED EYE , live and on ODDS & SODS, in same time
I'm pointing this out only to note that Moon had been playing the same beat for years, but was not able to do so in 1978 due to his health from the drug & drink finally catching up to him. Very,very, sad!
Rough mix!
Good lord the solos ruined this song and its energy. Started out great and then lost me
