@@larryrowe5259 Yeah , they probably should've stayed with that. They lost what it was to be a Live act. When Brian Epstein died something died in them . I hold George Martins control for how he kept them in the studio. No band ever perfects their sound unless they play Live.. It also to me creates unity and that's one of the biggest differences between the Beatles and the Stones. The Stones from day one never lost that. Some of the Stones actually stayed in the same hotel as Keith on the road. 😜❗
@@FantomWireBrian , yeah, the Stones never lost their unity except when they ostracized Brian Jones. The Beatles excelled in the studio. The Beatles perfected their work ethic paying their dues in Hamburg. The Beatles live acts were a joke during Beatlemania. The fans drowned out the music. George Martin was a genius.
Moon just added so much to R&R drumming. He was so creative and quick with those fills...something certain other 60's rock drummers lacked - except for the best like Krupa, Rich, and of course top shelf jazz drummers like Elvin Jones...who to me was the best...
@@martinlintzgy1361 tell me marty , is it true that one DOES shit where they EAT when living in a CAVE ? lack of space but the STANK? oh well just another thing you dont REALIZE , i guess !
He was probably on speed. To be fair, Pete and John were also taking it around this time, much to Roger’s consternation. Still love Keith, though! There wasn’t anyone quite like him!
Every week we saw the top groups on our televisions. I’m old now. I don’t know if young people today have any shows like SHINDIG and HULLABALOO. I know for a fact they don’t have groups and music like we did. What GREAT years we had!!
us bass players owe john so much because he took us from flat wound strings to round wound stings,rotosound to be exact,evry rock player on the planent owes him big time,and what a great player he was to,he held the who together with bass balls.r.i.p.brother.
Over the years, there have been so many stories about how Moon didn't know how to use a hi-hat, or other ludicrous claims that he could not play traditionally. Well, this video blows those theories away. Great shuffle on My Generation. Keith just had a bigger concept than many can accept. He evolved. He played the waves; played the ocean.
@@dewardroy6531 was the 1st too use 2 hi-hats stage and studio time, part reason using 2 14 inchers were not LOUD enuff and at that time ringo used larger size {16-18} but only onstage {live} plus the actual CHEMISTRY used by some companies CHANGED ergo so did the SOUND!
I saw Moon and Charlie in 75 . I really can't say who played best because they were different style drummers. I mean towards Charlie staying steady and holding the other reckless Keith going. Maybe it was who's going to drop first of both Kieths . Moon and Richards were both definitely on the edge for sure. We got lucky with both and both bands performed true to out of control Rock n roll. Saw Zeppelin also in 75 but it wasn't their best night. Bonham was out of it .
@@MichaelGiordano777 I was 19 when I saw Zeppelin in 75 . You're right ,they played too loud and Bonham was wasted and got lost in a drum solo. When the band finally walked out he didn't even know what song he was bringing too. Louder isn't better and being wasted when people paid to hear you play is second rate. Jason Bonham is a far better and more disciplined drummer than the old man ever was . 😎
@@MicroSoftner Yes, the Ludwigs sound great! Of course it was English (Premier) for Keith almost all of his career. He did use those borrowed Slingerlands at Monteray though.
@@JOHNWLOUCKS Moon actually preferred Ludwig drums and played a Ludwig snare throughout his career and played them on Who's Next.Premier offered him an endorsement deal so that's why he used them.
Cool to see an actual live-to-tape performance! IIRC, ABC’s Shindig often made the effort. NBC’s Hullabaloo stayed with the mime-to-playback fakery, which was bogus, even to us as kids.
This is probably the only Who video that shows more of John than Pete. And what a wildly different version of My Generation! Anyone know when this was filmed? EDIT: I just looked it up and this performance was August 3, 1965 and they recorded My Generation on October 13, 1965. Definitely explains why it’s so different as they were still developing it. I wonder if this is the earliest known version of the song.
@@skyemacallister1306 I remember seeing it on tv also, can't remember what night it was on. Yes Karen, we were teenagers during a wonderful period in time.
That was the angry young Mod look of the time. The whole song was about a frustrated young youth (s) not being able to express themselves. ..And the fact that Roger loved a fight ...and still does !!
Looks & sounds like they're playing live. I didn't think they did that on TV shows back then. They still don't, really, although there's exceptions. I give credit. Sounds pretty good, BTW
@@robsan52 Ed Sullivan also. Unfortunately the Who never appeared which is odd because Sullivan would have appreciated the stage antics. As Roger once said The Who were 75 percent music 25 percent circus. Sullivan would have loved them.
Pete Townshend on Rickenbacker 330 or 360 (can't tell through the video fuzzies), John Entwhistle on Danelectro Longhorn bass. Sweet. The background vocals are fer-what-they-are because producer Shel Talmy had to teach the Who how to do them. He brought The Ivy League ("Tossing and Turning") in to do the background vocals on the Who's early records. Nice piece of history here, despite the film quality. Better than nothing.
Really good discussion! I think that this is a Rickenbacker six string 1997 Rose Morris (F hole) model- the 1998 (the three pickup Rick made famous on the Maximum R&B poster) was smashed in 1964. Personally, I think Pete's sound here is so good, those Rickenbackers just ring! He sounded especially great through early Marshall Plexis.
john played me a personal rendition of the M.G Bass lick at the olympia music show in the 90's R.I.P when I spotted him on his own at the warwick stand of which he actually designed I think RiiiiPP
Keith looks like a 17 yr. old (maybe he was?!) and he completely owns those drums. I saw a video recently where there were 2 girls playing "Barracuda" over Zoom or some other video conferencing and the drummer gave me the same impression as to her skills.
There was not anyone better then Kieth Moon! Watch him play! So sad he died so young! He would have set a bar so high... Damn it! Nice to have videos to see what a genius he was!
A neighbour of mine in the seventies was a sessions drummer I remember asking him was Ginger Baker the greatest drummer in the world he said no way that title belongs to Keith Moon
Just guitar, bass and drums but left the Beatles and Stones for dead when playing live. Unfortunately didn't write as many classic songs as the other two.
Wow never seen this version of My Generation before. Of course, I've seen I Can't Explain as it was in The Kids Are Alright, but never seen My Generation before. And of course, here we have a continuation of the "We must never show the musicians during the instrumental parts of songs" thing that plagues virtually every band that's ever appeared on television, with those dancing girls during Entwistle's bass solo. The really funny thing is, as I recall, in The Kids Are Alright, that's the same dancing girls footage that Jeff Stein inserted into the Anyhow Anyway Anywhere montage, later in the film!
It would be another two years before the Who would set foot on this side of the Atlantic. Thankfully Shindig as well as Hullabaloo would show clips of the band to give American audiences a taste of what was to come.
I don't get it. How did The Who fly under the radar in the States like they did in 1965 and '66? They were chock full of great tunes and incredible musicianship. And it took "Happy Jack" in 1967 to bring them to light here?! What was going wrong in 1965 and 1966?!
Shel Talmey said American Decca was run by old men and really didn't know what they had.....You need to realize that the biggest Rock acts on Decca's roster at that time was Brenda Lee and a posthumous Buddy Holly. It wasn't until Lambert and Stamp started their own label that they went to the US.
I don’t think The Who aspired to overseas fame back then. They were provincial, “mod”-oriented,, fought amongst themselves, and struggled just to keep the band together. By late 1966, the English “mod” fad was fading and therefore the core English Who fans were untrustworthy as to their continued support. Only then did band management perceive that continued success depended upon outreach to the US market. That lead to their breakthrough at Monterey. Still, success in the US was slow. The Who first toured America as the opening act for Herman’s Hermits!
Get a grip. "I Can't Explain" is pretty close, but they NEVER topped the intensity of the studio version of "My Generation." Then again, you probably say that about every remake and live version of every song.
the whole band is great...
hi keith, wherever you are.......you are the holy father of mod, rock, pop.......drummers., R.I.P for all the eternity
REST and PEACE in moonies language was a NO to the afore mentioned and the latter in-PIECES ! but agreed on your sentiments !
Yep, his style was so loose and effortless.
Led Zeppelin II
Without Keith we might still be listening to the boring same old elementary type rock drummers from the 60s......ringo... charlie watts ...... yawn
SIR MOON OF LOON
Keith be busy whit them drums , love this man
Actual live performance, with camera work on Moon (arguably at the height of his power) and even The Ox. Groovy!
Unusual for the era they are not miming to a backing track.
keith moon was killing it on the drums 🔥
I always called the Who "good organized chaos". It always amazed how they somehow made it come together so well. LOL
I always thought the Who's early stuff was the perfect blend of pop and punk.
Definitely the beginning of Punk . The Stones also with " Get off my Cloud" and "Satisfaction" . 😎
The Beatles also were proud of their early "leather" cavern performances , before the started wearing their suits.
@@larryrowe5259 Yeah , they probably should've stayed with that. They lost what it was to be a Live act. When Brian Epstein died something died in them .

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how far ahead of time Keith was?
Keith was the star.
The director had to be Mesmerized by Moon. I dreamt that I could play like that. Lol! Just a dream!
I’m been taking decades appreciating (loving) Keith Moon! One in a million.
☮️💟
Thats why hes THE BEST IN THE WORLD

Definitely a killer performance and a seemingly sober Keith Moon just kicking it on the drums. Fantastic snare sound on this also!
Partly straight, at least. And as you say, kicking it!
I didn't realise moon was such a good drummer
He's fabulous.

John was also playing a Rickenbacker before this, one of the first imported into the UK (according to Chris Squire.)
I suspect The Ox needed the top end of roundies on a Ricky to fill out the three-piece sound.
oddly enough he ended up using a jazz with rounds on the studio solo, after breaking strings on his Danelectros.

Watching Roger Daltry dancing just like the dancing in To Sir With Love! Great clip
Copying James Brown, like Jagger did, both found their own way in the end tho
Hard to figure out how to be the frontman, still is when you're up and coming.
😍 the drums in this.
How can you not love Keith’s pounding. Thank you.
Maximum R&B.
One of my two fave drummers. The other one outlived Moon by 40+ years. RIP Keith and Charlie.
Bruce Gary of The Knack.

It only takes the cameraman a minute and a half to give us a glimpse of Townsend.

Keith at his musical and unconventional best and he has a h-hat !!
Yeah I noticed that too. Rare.
@@eightinches6094 I noticed the Hi Hat. I wondered if he used open Hi Hat in '73 Real Me song on tour(?)

This is one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from this group, and they’ve done a lot of great performances
Anyhow anyway anywhere is awesome around this time 1965 live
It’s great to see rock’s greatest drummer working hard. Thank you.
well I just love this arrangement of my generation.... rock and roll is at its best when done live
This was actually filmed two months before they recorded My Generation....take this and Pete's demo that's elsewhere on yt and see the evolution.
Keith with a hi-hat. You didn't see that very often in the early days.
Not the biggest fan of The Who, but I am partial to their early stuff. That bass solo in "My Generation" gets me every time.
🎉camera on Keith as usual.😂😂
Cool to see an actual live-to-tape performance! IIRC, ABC’s Shindig often made the effort.
NBC’s Hullabaloo stayed with the mime-to-playback fakery, which was bogus, even to us as kids.
What you said👍
ABC was always my favorite network growing up...Shindig..Batman..MNF..the list is endless...
Keith totally steals first half of this show. I could not be more pleased !
Actually he steals the second to. Only the camera sadly seemed to forget.
I think any way
The elusive high hats make a rare appearance...
This is probably the only Who video that shows more of John than Pete.

Drummer workin his ass off!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Cuatro extraordinarios talentos de la música, entre ellos el mayor artista del rock del mundo (Pete) hacen el mejor grupo de siempre.
At least John didn't break the strings on that Danelectro.
Keith's on top of his game! Killing it! Seamless!
without him, these guys would sound like a boys choir.
Keith ❤❤❤❤
Keith moon one hell of a drummer.
Pretty good at keeping that honker off camera as long as they could
Dang those drums were busy !
Shindig and Hullabaloo were awesome 1965 music shows and this is super Shindig classic!!
That was the angry young Mod look of the time. The whole song was about a frustrated young youth (s) not being able to express themselves. ..And the fact that Roger loved a fight ...and still does !!
This was before they added the 'stuttering effect' and it really makes a difference.
Nobody was ever really interested in filming Pete.
He looked sweaty here
Oh, my first real crush band . . . Saw 'em live coming back from Monterey Pop in 1967. Close enough to the stage to interact w/'em!
Dig the early Who. Their songs are pretty cool.
Keith at his best! Amazing!
This is one of their earliest songs. It's from December 1964.
Good to hear before what would develop into the single that finally got recorded.
Keith Moon is in my top 3 best ever drummers list. So ahead of his time.
Cool old footage...needed more Pete!
Danlectro Longhorn bass !
So great music...that is missing from the present times... Keith is so prominent with his unique voice quality... Thank you
I can't even do that drum beat in my head
@metsfan164 It because Keith’s drum beats sounds has the sound of someone falling down the stairs! 😂
Their very first hit
Looks & sounds like they're playing live. I didn't think they did that on TV shows back then. They still don't, really, although there's exceptions. I give credit. Sounds pretty good, BTW

Can't explain by the who classic song from the sixties good song from them fifty years old still sounds good now good song
O melhor baterista da história ❤❤
Concordo
Incredible.
I can watch Keith Moon play drums all got damn day loooooong!
Keith was finally able to cut loose on "My Generation." Was fortunate to see The Who in Memphis, 1975.
A true bloke's band
its a little known fact that at 3:46 Roger lost the use of his hands due to the intensity of the song only to regain it again at 3:52
Moon playing with a hi hat... Doesn't get any better.
Yes a sober Keith Moon wonderful
The genius of Keith Moon really comes through in this vid.
A drumming savant.
I prefer Keith's hi-hat era to his double-bass era. He's doing some really cool stuff here.
that guy in Oasis got it right - if you could write the bass solo from MG down you'd put it on your Headstone . . .
Live, this has the same energy as "Clash City Rockers", which employs the same riff
0:48 Барабанщик! мое Почтение!
Keith Moon and the band....
Rodger was tripping his balls off at this performance.
John Entwistle and Keith Moon easily the Best bass player and drummer , easily
They sound right with the right amount raw and live especially during this time
Brilliant
John starts his solo and camera shows tarts dancing rather than the best bass player in the world play the most famous solo great work
Keith looks like a 17 yr. old (maybe he was?!) and he completely owns those drums.
I saw a video recently where there were 2 girls playing "Barracuda" over Zoom or some other video conferencing and the drummer gave me the same impression as to her skills.
Here's the link, if anyone cares (spot on vocals, BTW)
ruclips.net/video/Z3ecFdRhwPc/видео.html
I think he was 19 when this was filmed in the summer of '65.
What!?! No smashing instruments at end of My Generation! Needed to see more young Pete T.
I miss the explosion! They made up for that omission on the Smothers Brothers show sometime later.
There was not anyone better then Kieth Moon! Watch him play! So sad he died so young! He would have set a bar so high... Damn it! Nice to have videos to see what a genius he was!

un gran solo de bajo con coreografía, nada más jonh podía hacerlo.
Yes I like the way they show each musician.
So many early videos concentrate on the singer, or show the bass guitarist while there is a lead break!
