The Who represent everything I love about music. Beautiful songs, massive balls, not being afraid to take chances or making mistakes, and teetering right on the edge..
One of the few hard rock songs where you push the anodes of your tube amplifiers into bright cherry red and bring up the volume up until the amplifier explodes and bursts into flames. This is one destructive song on any guitar/stereo amp and one of the few that inspired my monster home brew stereo amp of 1,200 watts back in the mid 1970's running into six 12 inch loudspeakers. At that time 1,200 watts in ones bedroom was like 50,000 watts today. It was so loud I had the Cops visit me after school in broad daylight to tell me to turn it down; but not after I had my main speaker boxes catch on fire playing another Lp record at my killer-watt volume. Now some 50 years later I just have to be satisfied with a small pair of headphones. Woe is me - Shit Happens !
I think Tommy was Roger's album. Pete may have wrote it but this was the album that finally created who he was in the band. With the emotion, the cool jacket, the mic swing. Tommy really helped Roger find who he was. It also works because Roger really is Tommy. Literally! He plays him in the movie. But the overall character was really Roger at the time. Both him and Tommy were looking how to connect with people. All it took was smashing a mirror and now we have one of greatest vocalists.

The best concert I have ever seen! Keith will always be my favorite drummer. No matter what people say, he was the best. The whole band is great though.
I seriously think they where the greatest live band of all time many might say it's U2, KISS, Rolling Stones, but no just watch or listen to Live at Leeds and be proven wrong. I have to give a PowerPoint in computer class with open topic and I've decided to do it on The Who and how they're the greatest rock and roll band of all time.
My brother says Pete is the hands down most prolific songwriter of that generation and he did not have a partner. He wrote everything himself. You cannot beat this.
That SG special and HiWatt amp was a beautiful combination. Everything between the rock n roll circus and this show features Pete playing through this configuration. So great, almost acoustic in clarity but simultaneously distorted due to the power tubes in the amps being cranked.
there is no way that there will ever be another album that was done like, "Tommy." How on earth, Pete, came came up with the idea is beyond me and and how each song is deeper than the marainas trench. It is simply musical genius and brilliance. their "tommy" stuff was always a crowd favorite and for good reason. high octane jam!
This song makes me think of Bobby Kennedy. This song makes me nostalgic for a time when I believed in things, when I was ready to fight and die for things. This song radiates with idealism and love. I want to live in the decade of my choice.
Estamos en el 2022 y este tema de who, sigue vigente. que hermoso tema musical. Yo lo escuche por primera vez el año 1973 cuando estudiaba en La Plata y vi la pelicula wooodstoke en el cine de los estudiantes. Cine Selec.
We are in the presence of rock gods! The greatest live band ever? fuckin right they are/were at nearly 70 still putting on one hellva show.BANG BIFF POW!
So, yeah, this song just made my head explode. But you know what.....any Who song will always "reach me", even when I'm completely senseless. They just have that much awesomeness and power :)
Keith, um baterista maluco e incomum John , um baixista incansável, Roger, um vocalista originalmente gago e que tornou-se a voz mais potente do rock e Pete, guitarrista e compositor avesso à mesmice, não poderia dar outra coisa senão o The Who , a maior banda de rock que que já existiu. Essa é minha opinião .
I actually like this version a little more than the woodstock one, Roger’s vocals are more clear and powerful. Jesus, just look at the shots like 4:56. Thousands of people, all joining together, having fun, listening to Rock N’ Roll, you can feel the fucking energy.
as my old man was a face back in sixties was brought up on his music but he never doubted my path in music stone roses /joy division/new order/the smiths/the cure & there are times in my life that I'll reflect back to his music xxx
@guijam94 I completely agree. I saw it a few years ago on VH1 and it was magical; it left me speechless. No other live performance can beat it. It was AWSOME. The Who is hands down the best live band I have ever heard. I don't know how they did it, but they did.
3 musicians and one singer, it is absolutely incredible what they are doing her. I do not think there is one band out there that has the shear talent that each member of The Who poses, and there are some pretty damn good bands out there.
Of all the commentators and rockers who emerged at this time, it's Pete Townsend, working-class London kid, who understood and captured the late 60s ethos better than anyone else.
Ha! So that's where Planty got his stage presence from! And tight trousers!!!!! But lost the tassels (shame).Thanks for posting this.Love it- and never understood why this was never a 'hit'.
+Bagheera 1 As (almost) always a great performance from a true one of a kind drummer. His technique may me unorthodox , but only a real idiot would complain. what Moon lacked in technical skill he made up in passion. Bruford also a great drummer doesn't get Keith, but really they are different peas in the same pod.
This is my most favorite Right behind you live version...I got excitement at your feet,this is my favorite line,lol! What a great band,those amazing guitar riffs,the bass line,the drums,the voice,it's perfection!!!
4 Guys one band, there's the Who and then all the rest, who are all great in their own way But for me Its Always been the The mighty WHO towering over rock music like the Rock Gods they are.
Every time I listen to great old live Who I want to grab my guitar and play along. And I can't resist doing the windmills and jumps and stuff right along with Pete.
I was there. Favourite band of all time, they should've stopped when The OX died IMHO. I must've seen them a dozen times, including last year 2017 in Birmingham.
Yeah I wanted to see Daltrey this last year down here in Vegas at the Hard Rock. My favorite stories from my dad are from when he use to work there. Probably the saddest story he has ever told me from that time period is the night John died and about all the stuff found in his hotel room. Unfortunately I was only able to purchase tickets to see the Priest and was about $20 short of seeing Daltrey doing Tommy.
its the year 1975. the place, QUAD MAKATI CITY. ""TOMMY " the rock opera featuring roger daltrey and the who. ""See me feel me"" is what i must say , the ultimate high every time i hear this piece. i wish i was at the aisle of wight when THE WHO was performing live.
I never wanted to be an atheist. I didn't. I wanted so badly to be a Christian. I envy them so fucking much. I'm not being an ass, I truly mean that. That pure love and knowing you're being cared for by something BIG. It just wasn't in the cards for me. Never will be. To damn left brain I guess. But, when I hear this song, for a moment, for just a flash, for just a glimpse, I see what it's like to be a Christian and I cry. I salute you.
Me gusta mucho la opera rock TOMMY y sobretodo este tema en genial en toda su dimensión con sus altos y bajos contraste de sonidos y formas te eleva y te unde me llena por completa viva el Rock. y the Who..

So simple but I never get tired of this song. So much power in this .
The Who represent everything I love about music. Beautiful songs, massive balls, not being afraid to take chances or making mistakes, and teetering right on the edge..
They kicked ass, everyone’s ass.
BEST Damn group EVER!!!
Don't forget talent.
Amazing, how fresh it sounds in 2024.
Timeless!
It´s BRUTAL how Keith Moon played!!! Just no fear at all. That´s what I love about rock! Fantastic!
The Who in their heyday. At the top of their game.
At the top of *the* game, period. Best rock band at the time without a shadow of a doubt.
Problem is roger was a natural singer vs a trained one.
So his voice was never going to last into older age.
That blue light against the crowd is unbelievable! Like a trance! what a show! Keith Moon is out this world!
I read they were old ww2 search lights
@@robertbaxter4021that’s so cool
Man, I've been watching bands for decades, The Who were far and away the best band ever
Probably the most majestic rock song ever written! Long live The Who🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧!!!!!

I grew up with these boys, I'm 78 this year and I listen to this song every week.
To this day, still the best live performance i've ever witnessed.

I always tell people about this concert! It's the best rock show I have ever seen on video or live!!! All four are fantastic❤
Makes me cry almost everytime i listen to this, The Who are by MILES the greatest band EVER
Agreed.
Truth
Fact.
Except for Pink Floyd , Genesis, couple more etcs.
Well they were the best live act in the world 70-71 no argument.
The best concert I have ever seen! Keith will always be my favorite drummer. No matter what people say, he was the best. The whole band is great though.
The best rock and roll band in the history of the universe, IMHO.

Great choice for your PP, Gray. As you saw, I'm in complete concurrence with your opinion. And as for Live at Leeds.... oh man, what a set!
@@GrayWoIf agreed 100%..."the who" are by far the greatest band of all time
My brother says Pete is the hands down most prolific songwriter of that generation and he did not have a partner. He wrote everything himself. You cannot beat this.
They were supremely good back then, i would delete the clowns that are kiss from the list, the stones top for me.
The era when bands stood on the music they played no video screens no distractions just the performance of singing and playing music.....stunning.
That SG special and HiWatt amp was a beautiful combination. Everything between the rock n roll circus and this show features Pete playing through this configuration. So great, almost acoustic in clarity but simultaneously distorted due to the power tubes in the amps being cranked.

Such a great performance! So special --especially to see Keith and John. RIP. Shout out -- Love you, Keith!
Sem dúvida grande banda o que levou Led a imitar, mas no caminho existia o fenômeno Beatles pop clássico
This song makes me think of Bobby Kennedy. This song makes me nostalgic for a time when I believed in things, when I was ready to fight and die for things. This song radiates with idealism and love. I want to live in the decade of my choice.
This was a really great show, glad they recorded it.
See Me, Feel Me, is matchless beautiful composition, a thunder heavenly and a voice of an angel!!!
the greatest live performance I've ever seen... O.O

Keith Moon and Roger having fun playing but Pete solo was insane.
It’s Pete’s Song. Unmatched energy when you can get other folks playing along with your tune.
Gives me goose bumps everytime I hear it,I want it played at my funeral
The goat.
A band I have loved forever. Go Roger and Pete.
Saw them last night at Alpine Valley Wi. WOW - they were awesome. GREAT concert.
We are in the presence of rock gods! The greatest live band ever? fuckin right they are/were at nearly 70 still putting on one hellva show.BANG BIFF POW!
So, yeah, this song just made my head explode. But you know what.....any Who song will always "reach me", even when I'm completely senseless. They just have that much awesomeness and power :)
I saw them when they were at there best with their entire band in 1971 at Philly Specktrum.
ある意味世界最強のパフォーマンスかも？魂が揺さぶられます😅
this could never get old- rock and roll forever
Keith, um baterista maluco e incomum John , um baixista incansável, Roger, um vocalista originalmente gago e que tornou-se a voz mais potente do rock e Pete, guitarrista e compositor avesso à mesmice, não poderia dar outra coisa senão o The Who , a maior banda de rock que que já existiu. Essa é minha opinião .
А как же Led Zeppelin, Robert Plant?
I'm literally balling right now, this is music. It's my core and it rattles my bones.
This is good beyond possible description......
I actually like this version a little more than the woodstock one, Roger’s vocals are more clear and powerful. Jesus, just look at the shots like 4:56. Thousands of people, all joining together, having fun, listening to Rock N’ Roll, you can feel the fucking energy.
Well there was about 700,000 to 600,000 people at the festival, making it the biggest in the world at the time.
The Who could see for miles and miles and miles
as my old man was a face back in sixties was brought up on his music but he never doubted my path in music stone roses /joy division/new order/the smiths/the cure & there are times in my life that I'll reflect back to his music xxx
The best performance Ever !!!! Legendary THE WHO !!!!
this makes my life a lot better! The Who rules the World!
Wow! Wish I could go back in time and attend this concert!
Pasión y fuerza
Transmite energía pura
La más grande banda de rock
Grandes todos los Who
Keith impresionante 🤩
Tommy...The masterpiece and the Who are the master of rock.
An SG with P-90 pick up's, The ultimate guitar!
Ah ~ the humble , lowly , "student-model" SG Special ... Ol' Pete took and made a LEAD guitar out of
I think it's the same kind of wonderful Gibson SG with P90 used by Carlos Santana at Woodstock...
Maranatha Come Soon OH! LORD AMEN
@guijam94
I completely agree. I saw it a few years ago on VH1 and it was magical; it left me speechless. No other live performance can beat it. It was AWSOME. The Who is hands down the best live band I have ever heard. I don't know how they did it, but they did.
They opened with Can’t Explain in T.O. 1977 Maple Leaf Gardens. Best Live band ....
3 musicians and one singer, it is absolutely incredible what they are doing her. I do not think there is one band out there that has the shear talent that each member of The Who poses, and there are some pretty damn good bands out there.
Sweet mama. How good was that band brother!
Of all the commentators and rockers who emerged at this time, it's Pete Townsend, working-class London kid, who understood and captured the late 60s ethos better than anyone else.
Greatest rock band of all time. They had great competition but they reined supreme. God they kicked ass. Everyone played leed .
Thank you, WHO, for staying fabulous and for helping close the 2012 LONDON OLYMPICS !!!
One brilliant song!!!
Ha! So that's where Planty got his stage presence from! And tight trousers!!!!! But lost the tassels (shame).Thanks for posting this.Love it- and never understood why this was never a 'hit'.
The WHO are the best rock band ever ! Tommy the album the best classic ever !
The indelible, incredible and incomprehensible Keith Moon.
Classic Keef
+Bagheera 1 As (almost) always a great performance from a true one of a kind drummer. His technique may me unorthodox , but only a real idiot would complain. what Moon lacked in technical skill he made up in passion.

5:33 Pete doesn't stop soloing. Ahhhhhh! I'm being flung off the planet by the energy and power. Please, don't help me!!!! Ahhhhhh!
Extase pur. Wonderful
still moves me after all these years !!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 Guys one band, there's the Who and then all the rest, who are all great in their own way But for me Its Always been the The mighty WHO towering over rock music like the Rock Gods they are.
Forty odd years later this song is the first song I think of when "The Who" come to mind. They aced the Olympic closing-rock on guys.
Epic concert🎸🎼🎵💉💊70 s the best years !!! Rock old school 🎸🎼
Long live rock, be it dead or alive.
The Best lovesong,
Moon the octopus...
Great, inncredible I'm always fan and forever !!! you are kings pease baby come back !!!!
Awesome to remember the good old days :) great music :)
One of the greatest performances of all time! Right next to Black Sabbath in Paris 1970.
?????
Seen them '80 -'89 both great concerts great band
F***ing epic!!!!! ❤
Every time I listen to great old live Who I want to grab my guitar and play along. And I can't resist doing the windmills and jumps and stuff right along with Pete.
wow...l love everyday more and more this band¡
It does not get much better than this,Rock Gods
The Who rocks . Real music
Happy Anniversary!!
April 22, 1969: The Who give their first complete live performance of "Tommy" at a show in Dolton, England. ☺
actually i was there and have spent the last ruddy 40 years trying to get my head back to as it was, still looking for my ears ! LOL
Best live version the who and wood stock
What a band
Wow I remember when Tommy came out at the Box Office, it was such a sensation.
Absolutely fantastic!
Great Song So Far
HISTORIC
I see the Glory Heal the soul Feel the Music
I was there. Favourite band of all time, they should've stopped when The OX died IMHO. I must've seen them a dozen times, including last year 2017 in Birmingham.
If there is a more iconic live rock song / performance out there, well I've yet to see it.
Such great music was made back then. Love it.
I LOVE THIS SONG 😍
It doesn't get much better than this - if you were born in 1951!
Born in 1996 :p Not my favourite Who song, but still awesome :)
Born 2 minutes ago. Hello world!
Born in 1952
Merci "sactown18" pour cet ajout musical en belle réminiscence 💖♪ ♫ 🎸🎷 🎻🎹🎺🌺🎧🎼🎩🎩🎩

God decided to become a Rock and Roll drummer. So he came to earth, and for twelve years, he was Keith Moon of The Who.
I’m getting tired just watching them play this one song . The energy is mind boggling ......
