I've never heard, or seen in print, Keith Moon ever putting anyone down. As far as I'm concerned, Ginger Baker was totally Overrated. I don't care what Clapton said. Moon could Drum rings around Baker.
@@gatoryak7332 I always loved Moon’s facial expressions, especially the way he looks at Townshend. He looks totally excited like a kid and enraptured in their performances. You said it best, he was their biggest fan. I guess Townshend was their biggest critic lol!

This is a fleeting moment in time when The Who solidified their place in rock-n-roll history as the greatest live band-ever. One year post-Tommy, about to release Who’s Next, they were rightfully arrogant...and at their peak. The amount of sheer power emanating from this band could not be reproduced by any rival, including Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones. The Who’s 1970 Isle of Wight performance is a tour-de-force of musical prowess and showmanship. Nothing like it will ever be seen again.
I agree totally. This is some of the best rocknroll ever written. Top of thier game in these times. Brilliant writing and incredible musicianship. I love it all. 😊
I know, I know, I know....Keith..Keith...Keith..blah, blah, blah....etc...etc..etc..... BUT....this is just such a joyous performance by him. I'm 50 years old. I have seen this performance loads of times. It always ends up with me giggling at just how good he is here to be able to play like this and mess around at the same time. And having this much fun as well. It is spellbinding.
Under. A raging Moon 🌝, Roger was awesome 👍 as well as Pete and John ,what a true spectacle man,loved them back then and still due for ever ,God bless.!!!.
Charlie Watts could play any style at all, with effortless ease i may add, moon i fucking love, belongs in the who and they could never have been the same without him, but Charlie was the greatest.
It must have been magical to see The Who live during this period. Fucking Brilliant. Keith Moon! What a drummer, cant take my eyes off him, he is the embodiment of sheer unadulterated Enjoyment.
I love the first time they focus in on Keith playing the wood block, his face is a combination of pure joy and lunatic fringe, the only thing that changed faster than his facial expressions were his emotions and his hands and feet. A truly remarkable performance by all.
I know these comparisons are stupid but I am huge fan of the Who and Zep but at this stage - 1970 - no one could touch this band for live performances. Original songs, raw and powerful, no posing, no mystical lyrics, no proto prog noodling, the better bassist, a real hard soulful macho singer, a stripped down boiler suited guitarist who would run a mile from a pretty lick and a demon drummer who had his own truly unique style and who played off all the others, sometimes verging towards the chaotic but overall underpinning all those fantastic jams perfectly. Look for it here - blues, punk, hard rock, art rock - long live rock. sadly Keith waned after 75 and that was it.
There's no better then the machine gun moon I was blessed to see him when the Quadrophena album came out I new they were the band for me I remember u in those crazy days that was45yrs ago and I'm seeing them one last time in Yes Detroit Keep on keeping on
I swear to God Zeppelin fans troll these Who Videos just to reply to someone, anyone who says Keith Moon is the Greatest Rock Drummer of All Time and they always have to say John Bonham was better and you know what? They are ALWAYS wrong. Keith Moon, the Greatest Rock Drummer of All Time. Second to None.
@@mjf2891 Hurt Feelings? Not Hardly. Bonham's drumming is Boring and Consistantly Repetitive. Moon's drumming is Exciting and Dramatic, and way faster than anyone else I've ever seen or heard. He threw all the rudiments and technicalities of drumming out the window and developed a style all his own. There is/was No One like Keith Moon in Rock Music.
Wow…. The look on Keith’s face…. If looks could kill…. I ( think ) Roger stopped something that could had gone south when he walked back & said something to someone, to calm Keith down a bit.
Conheci o the who quando eu assisti esse show pela primeira vez !!!!! Faz exatos 50 anos!!!! Live at the isle of wight festival 1970... Showzaço!!!!!!!!
The b-side to the single version of "Won't Get Fooled Again", and left off "Who's Next", much to my disappointment at the time, though I had purchased the single when it was released prior to the LP. They did perform this when I saw them at Forest Hills that summer (1971)! Great show! Keith's been gone 45 years now! In my mind he's still the best ever! His death ended The Who insofar as I'm concerned!
This live version is SO GOOD. I really like the album version as well but there's something about this performance. It's so raw and filled with emotion that kinda gets a bit lost with the flourishes of the studio version. I get goosebumps every single time Roger sings the chorus. I've always held Pete's lyrics very close to my heart. I just love The Who.
It's all this in between music that these guys presented. Never for the albums, it's for people to seek out. Pete is a frigging genius. We get to look at Lifehouse soon. You'll soon see it.
No doubt true. Greatest live band in rock history (the R&B Who) from Live at Leeds and other concerts of that era. I always say after Tommy they got soft.
The "album that we're about halfway through" never came about. This song was also destined for an EP at Christmas 1970, but it didn't happen. Then it was supposed to be on Lifehouse, but that got abandoned in favor of a single album, Who's Next. However, the lead single for the album is a 3:35 severe edit of Won't Get Fooled Again, with I Don't Know Myself on the flip side (and clocking in at 5:00, you gotta wonder why shave WGFA to 3:35?!). I have loved this song since Isle of Wight came out in late 1996, and I had a bootleg VHS from Japan of the Murray Lerner film, and was blown away by the song, but also seeing Moon just destroy it while doing gymnastics, and also with the precise timing to hit the woodblock. Talk about dynamics! The Who's deep cuts would be other band's best songs.
Please. We all love Moon for his historical significance, the way he liberated the drums and made them a viable soloistic concern. But...best rock drummer of all time? No one has come close since?? That's just not true. The reality is that Moon's performances were so often hindered by drugs/alcohol, poor musical choices and a rather limited rhythmic vocabulary. Let's not forget that he struggled with such simple tasks as playing in triple meter and working the hi-hat pedal. Not exactly the hallmarks of the greatest rock drummer ever. Again, a marvelous performer with a solid decade of great, ground-breaking drumming to his credit ('63-'71, thereabouts). Let's leave it at that.
I didn't say greatest waltz drummer, I said rock. He played the hi hat fine. Style, in spades, and inimitable, and as powerful as it gets. It's subjective, and you can have your pristine, perfect, slick masters.
What a negative, condescending attitude you have Sevenlayer. Not everything has to be perfect, polished or pristine. A lot of those polished greats rever and love Keith for his chaotic, messy and musical playing. No one has replicated it since.
@@skidvicious411 What an inane reply. I *love* Keith Moon and everything he did for the liberation of the drum set. I merely stated my opinion that he is *not* the greatest rock drummer of all time, for the clear and obvious reasons I stated. Clearly you're incapable of having an intelligent musical discussion, so please don't wast my time. Go to Reddit, why don't you?
Everything about the intro to this song is perfect: the calmness of Pete’s guitar, the melody of Roger’s harmonica, the fluidity of Keith’s intro, and a stellar vocal intro✊🏼
I LOVE THE SINGER .HE HAS A GOOD BEAUTIFUL VOICE. THE WHO DID A GOOD JOB .ALL OF THEM. SEEN YOU GUYS IN LIVE .IT WAS GREAT. LOVE YOU GUYS. SO SAD ABOUT KEITH MOON.RIP. HE WAS A GREAT DRUMMER. THANKS FOR THE GREAT MUSIC.
This is what makes Keith great: the little kick rolls at 3:55 ; so lyrical, so difficult, and so understated yet powerful. Perfect, is what you call it.
That moment! The camera! I'm just trying to fight my way out of this Dream Pete's jump and Swing Roger Everything about this song This era! Has always been my True Who Definitive!
1971 I DONT EVEN KNOW MYSELF .....THE WHO. LOVE HIS SINGING. GOOD DRUMMER AND BOTH ARE GOOD GUITAR PLAYERS. THEY ALL DID A GOOD JOB .LOVE THEM. THEY ARE GREAT. LOVE HHIS VOICE. LOVE THE BEAT AND THE SOUND. GOOD JOB .LOVE IT
I never tire of listening to this video. The Who are great to watch as well as listen to. Did Pete actually hit Keith? Roger Daltrey went towards Keith and said something. What was the drama?
I think this might be the single classic rock band that has comments of people appreciating the music but not bitching on modern music. Love these guys, love this band
To think that this and Pure and Easy didn't make the final cut of Who's Next. Scary to think that one of the greatest albums ever could have been better. Thank goodness they put them on the expanded edition. Would love to see this one live.
I know! That floored me. Since I saw them in '71 (previously, too) and Pure and Easy was the 2nd song performed - it was *jaw dropping. Because on the Original Vinyl it appears at very end of the already gorgeous Song Is Over, as this achingly beautiful (snip of a) coda of P&E. It's sort of mysterious* - because that's all there is! UNTIL 7/29 & 31/71 at Forrest Hills Stadium when they performed it! Omg - a *whole song* of this! :O Thank goodness I snuck my cassette recorder in & taped the show. A bit of a wait till Odds & Sods was released. Way later it's on WN Delux CD! 🧡👍🎸🎤🎶🎵
There's nothing in the way I walk that could tell you where I'm going, There's nothing in the words I speak that can betray anything I'm knowing, Don't think about the way I dress, you can fit me on a labelled shelf, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, Ooh I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Don't listen to the words I say, weighing up if I'm enlightened, Don't shiver as you pass me by, 'cause mister I'm the one who's frightened, The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, I don't mind if I cry once in a while, The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. Do you remember me, I don't remember you, Do you still love me, you know I think you do, I have been gone, and some prison warder knows my scream, I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream. There's only five who know my real name, And my mother don't believe they know it, What she called me is the way I'm staying, And no one'll ever know it, Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves, Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself, I said I don't know myself. I don't mind if you try once in a while, And I don't mind if I cry once in a while.
...and this track reminds me why Pete Townshend was 1/2 of what got me into playing the guitar (the other being Malcolm Young). More than 40 years later and I feel the same rush of pure excitement.
I told my son that Who songs on the album sound Exactly like Pete's demos, except COMPLETELY different, and the live version sounds exactly like the album version, except completely different, HE agreed
Jimmy Howitzer I saw them live with Keith Moon twice everything that they played on the stage they played just a bit faster with him at the drums. Also for all his complaining Townsend is more relaxed on stage. it seems between 1969 and 1976 was the time to see them. They were at their peak.
A band of contradictions. On everything pro con or otherwise. The best ever. They played whatever they wanted . Fractured and conformity. You name it The Who were everything rolled into one. On paper it should never have worked. No one comes close in my view I love them.

I think that Moon was the biggest Who fan ever, too. It's evident in this video.
yeah & Baker dismisses him entirely as fucking if
I've never heard, or seen in print, Keith Moon ever putting anyone down. As far as I'm concerned, Ginger Baker was totally Overrated. I don't care what Clapton said. Moon could Drum rings around Baker.

Imagine being there. The power of this band at that time is unmatched.
Even better in '71 with WN Live! What shows! Power & beauty.
The "Live at Leeds" album has laid countless stereo speakers of mine to waste for the last 50+ years! Yes. I'll say it, "THEY'RE ALL WASTED!😂
I was...what an night or early morning when they came on)....phenomenal!
Roger’s voice is magical 👍😍
Roger is so Hot!
I agree, wonderful voice!
When I saw Keith Moon play in Rock and Roll Circus hot DAMN I’m in love!! Kindred souls forever 🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️
Nobody ever played like Keith Moon. Nobody. Ever. He’s just phenomenal.
Fuckin legend sir kieth moon 🌙 they all were 😁
The goat
Right On Brother.
You are absolutely 100% right.
One of a kind!! Loved his personality ❤.. WILD MAN!!!

Me to, there's a bunch of us. He'll never be forgotten!!!
Keith is into it! ☺️ You really can't take your eyes off of him!

Geoffrey Gabriel nuff said!!!
I think Deep Purple got pretty close
The Who just had everything, tremendous frontman and all ! Huge act !
I wish their show at the Young Vic was available.
Deluxe Live At Leeds, too.
Half the fun of watching the Isle of Wight concert is seeing Keith Moon’s drumming. He is/was absolutely amazing. Definitely one of my top 5 drummers.
This is my favorite Era of the Who...
I agree totally. This is some of the best rocknroll ever written. Top of thier game in these times. Brilliant writing and incredible musicianship. I love it all. 😊
@@ianparrish6543They were untouchable. The best live band to exist. I think Pete said one time that these (69-71) were "glorious years".

The Who didn’t play play blue’s or jazz. So he was able to invent his own style. He said “ I am the best Keith Moon type drummer in the world!
Under. A raging Moon 🌝, Roger was awesome 👍 as well as Pete and John ,what a true spectacle man,loved them back then and still due for ever ,God bless.!!!.
Had this on dvd, truly what made me want to be a musician.
The best enough said .
It´s just incredible how someone just doesn´t think how to play......He just plays. Keith Moon.
Their unreleased stuff blows away most bands hits.

Andrew Garcia Yes it was
Oncle Gerard Studio no. Bonus tracks yes.

it's pure joy to watch Moon play the drums, I love him so much forever. xoxo
Me too I’m in love with Keith Moon!❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💋💋💋💋
Me too❤
Keith Moon was beyond words. The Who was beyond anything imagine. Wish I could have met, drink, drunk, drugs, with The Great Keith Moon.
Hands down the greatest rock drummer of all time he played the drums like a lead guitar!!
I agree 100% hands down. Best drummer in the history of Rock and in the music industry. That's just my opinion.
Charlie Watts could play any style at all, with effortless ease i may add, moon i fucking love, belongs in the who and they could never have been the same without him, but Charlie was the greatest.
It must have been magical to see The Who live during this period. Fucking Brilliant. Keith Moon! What a drummer, cant take my eyes off him, he is the embodiment of sheer unadulterated Enjoyment.
My 2yo son is just mesmerized by Keith....oh, and I have been been for over 40 years 🤙🏻
This live version is fast becoming one of my favorite Who songs . . .
aaaahhhhhhh Keith Moon! The world's best ever lead drummer.
I love the first time they focus in on Keith playing the wood block, his face is a combination of pure joy and lunatic fringe, the only thing that changed faster than his facial expressions were his emotions and his hands and feet. A truly remarkable performance by all.
Love him
Moonie: so unorthodox and unconventional in his drumming. It was like watching a ballet .
Whenever this pops up in my feed, I have to stop what I'm doing and watch Moonie play.
I know these comparisons are stupid but I am huge fan of the Who and Zep but at this stage - 1970 - no one could touch this band for live performances. Original songs, raw and powerful, no posing, no mystical lyrics, no proto prog noodling, the better bassist, a real hard soulful macho singer, a stripped down boiler suited guitarist who would run a mile from a pretty lick and a demon drummer who had his own truly unique style and who played off all the others, sometimes verging towards the chaotic but overall underpinning all those fantastic jams perfectly. Look for it here - blues, punk, hard rock, art rock - long live rock. sadly Keith waned after 75 and that was it.
One of the best bands to see n' hear live.......... in order to appreciate the Who, you have to WATCH them play, as well as listen.
well said man
MOON was in tune.
Roger said something to the effect of "we have a lead guitarist, a lead drummer, and a lead bassist." They all played lead.
Along with Zep, The Who to me represent the quintessential 70s classic rock bands
There's no better then the machine gun moon I was blessed to see him when the Quadrophena album came out I new they were the band for me I remember u in those crazy days that was45yrs ago and I'm seeing them one last time in Yes Detroit Keep on keeping on
Saw quadrophenia tour in 74 in Detroit Cobo Hall
They're all incredible, but I adore Keith Moon. He was a wild spirit.
Always thought that The Who were the original English punk band. This shows it.
Keith is just a blast to watch!
Greatest rock drummer of all time that EVER walked this planet. No-one compares.
John Bonham
I swear to God Zeppelin fans troll these Who Videos just to reply to someone, anyone who says Keith Moon is the Greatest Rock Drummer of All Time and they always have to say John Bonham was better and you know what? They are ALWAYS wrong. Keith Moon, the Greatest Rock Drummer of All Time. Second to None.
Carl Weaver it’s pretty much universally agreed upon that Peart and Bonham are 1/2 however you want to slice them. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.
@@mjf2891
Hurt Feelings? Not Hardly. Bonham's drumming is Boring and Consistantly Repetitive. Moon's drumming is Exciting and Dramatic, and way faster than anyone else I've ever seen or heard. He threw all the rudiments and technicalities of drumming out the window and developed a style all his own. There is/was No One like Keith Moon in Rock Music.
Carl Weaver “not hardly” implies that you actually are sad. Uniqueness alone does not equate to greatness.
I mean... What words do you use to describe this❓.
A band that gnarls it's teeth, catches it's prey and and will not let go.
As músicas e bandas de hoje nem chegaram perto disso nem fudendo isso e rock roll de verdade 🤘
Keith. No words.

The police just came and left, they wanted me and no one else,
Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself,
I said I don't know myself.
I don't mind if you try once in a while,
I don't mind if I cry once in a while,
The doors aren't shut as tight as they might seem,
I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
Do you remember me, I don't remember you,
Do you still love me, you know I think you do,
I have been gone, and some prison warder knows my scream,
I'm just trying to fight my way out of this dream.
There's only five who know my real name,
And my mother don't believe they know it,
What she called me is the way I'm staying,
And no one'll ever know it,
Come on all of you big boys, come on all of you elves,
Don't pretend that you know me 'cause I don't even know myself,
I said I don't know myself.
I don't mind if you try once in a while,
And I don't mind if I cry once in a while.
Everyone speaks of their playing, but Pete's lyrics up there with Dylan, Donovan and at least the Fabs! Pete is pure poetry in motion!
Pete Townsend: genius.
When the Who goes to 11... the intensity of this track is crazy. Moon's drumming over Townshend's guitar and you've got a sonic switchblade knife.
...and this track reminds me why Pete Townshend was 1/2 of what got me into playing the guitar (the other being Malcolm Young). More than 40 years later and I feel the same rush of pure excitement.
Did Pete actually slap Keith at 6:39 looks like keith was pissed. If looks could kill...
He is eternal!
Genius drumming on this clip.
3:52, Keith is doing some Wingardium Leviosas
rofl he on some of that swish and flick-shit
I wish I could show you how hard this made me laugh!
Very rarely does the drummer get so much attention, unless your name is Keith moon 😂
John Bonham, Ginger Baker, and Neil Peart as well
@@joeyhuebner10 Moon was the most theatrical of the four.
@@loosilu- No doubt. Fantastic musician and performer.
Supergut! The Who were outstanding! I love that videoclip.
lol look at keith, who the fuck drums like that? Classic shit
Michael nobody.. Peart says the same thing
Certanly, a big drummer.
Kieth sounds like a triplet machine gun,..!!#!
For some reason this sounds significantly better than the studio version.
Basically the entire show sounds better in my opinion, sometimes i think this show is better than live at leeds
I told my son that Who songs on the album sound Exactly like Pete's demos, except COMPLETELY different, and the live version sounds exactly like the album version, except completely different, HE agreed
Jimmy Howitzer I saw them live with Keith Moon twice everything that they played on the stage they played just a bit faster with him at the drums. Also for all his complaining Townsend is more relaxed on stage. it seems between 1969 and 1976 was the time to see them. They were at their peak.
The Who was amazing in that they sounded much better live than in the studio. Most bands are the opposite.
Anyone here to see keith moon?
A band of contradictions. On everything pro con or otherwise. The best ever. They played whatever they wanted . Fractured and conformity. You name it The Who were everything rolled into one. On paper it should never have worked. No one comes close in my view I love them.
