Here’s something quite rare; the pilot of A Whole Scene Going, a show for teens that aired on British TV in 1965. This episode features fashion predictions for 1966, advice for young lovers from Lulu, a segment on the up and coming skateboard craze, footage of The Who, and an interview with a very cynical, sarcastic and witty Pete Townshend.
Pete Townshend is an absolute musical genius
I love the way Pete expresses himself: very sincere and angry, maybe cynical but he prefers to say things the way he sees them rather than appeal and please other people's expectations.
And he's still like that. Even at the age of 20 he was the most articulate and expressive rock star.
Indeed......that must've been for the time highly refreshing , since most pop artists played the fake smiley media game...
Although...just like The Stones playing the "bad boys" Townshend was also acting to a certain extent , to be that "new breed" of honest pop star, .....Some things that he says here ....his "hate" for anything pop or his own musical output sounds like being obnoxious for obnoxious' sake. Townshend was a lover of good pop music. With his "quality" rant he contradicted himself.....Interesting clip ofcourse.
True, but at 20 years old he's just saying what's coming into his head, some of it isn't articulate at all. Such as the comments on quality.
Gotta love how Keith isn't even trying to look like he is playing.
@Jon Applegate:
Yeah, I've noticed that in almost every vid where they were forced to mime. It seems to be a characteristic of performers who truly value spontaneity. Iggy Pop absolutely hated miming and would purposely screw up to express his frustration with having to fake it.
He probably argued and the producers said something like "You'll look foolish if you don't go along with the song!" To which Keith probably said quietly to himself "I'll show you how to be bloody foolish"
Keith hated mimeing! It just wasn't him!
Keith brought himself to every performance (honesty).
Miming wasn't in his soul.
@@retardedcore Probably reading too much into it, but I always wondered if his 'puppet' drumming style on TV was exactly that.
Love how Pete didn't hold back then and still doesn't today.
'Its's just basic Shepherds Bush enjoyment' ; If only we could get back to that.
Years ahead of his time.
They really did Roger dirty with the way they arranged the band. Made him look a solid foot shorter than everyone else.
I thought he was at least two feet shorter than the rest of them ;)
Pete's such an intelligent guy. The Who were living art, performance art, and so many people didn't realize how truly great they were. It's time to set the record straight.
One of my biggest regrets, was having the opportunity to see them live in 1980 ( yeah.....admittedly Keith Moon had passed away by then.......and the line up was still solid with Kenny Jones on drums) )........I am fool,obviously...... but I was only 15 years old at the time..... ;>)
Pete describing punk
Anyway Anyhow Anywhere has to be the first true punk track
A very eloquent young man, and BRILLIANT songwriter and guitarist. If he hadn't existed, someone surely would have invented him. God Save Peter Townshend.
Thanks for uploading - brilliant footage..
Oh boy this makes my ... year as a 20yr Who fan!
I am familiar with exerpts from this, but hearing the whole thing certainly sheds a different light on Pete's words and even then... this was cut to fit the TV format. Very interesting to hear young Pete's vision on pop art.
+F. Lavoie Wait! its been 30 years as a Who fan... well ...that makes me an old fart. :D
F. Lavoie since I started very young, like eight years old....seriously! I am a 38 year who fan!
F. Lavoie 1975-1976 Who fan here.
Girl - 'In My Generation you wrote I hope I die before I get old, do you in fact mean it?'
Pete - 'Yes.'
Girl - '.......😶'
End of conversation. The girl's face was a picture. 😆
Easy for him to say when he's young. He's probably glad it didn't happen these days 😁
Guitar Tube indeed. I never thought I'd make 30, and here I am considering pension options!
Enty and Pete don’t need to stand on anything to be taller than Rog that’s why this is criminal
What a find! Classic!
England v either New Zealand or South Africa (1965 ) test match cricket on Pete’s black and white television . Didn’t know he was into cricket, mind you l did see Keith bashing his drums with two cricket bats at The Oval Cricket Ground , London 1971😀
that clip where PT talks of doing something 'big' on the stage and a thousand geezers go ''aaahhhh!!'' is perfectly placed in 'the Kids are Alright', because it's right after he bashes the plywood stage w/ his Gibson SG in front of 400,000 kids at WOODSTOCK. brilliant editing. this thing is new to me. love it!! they really could rock before a lot of big rock bands even had record deals. it truly is maximum R&B. unfortunately, it is lip synced ,and there'e a piano in it, which is absent here. probably Nicky Hopkins
No m8 your wrong ,the part your talking about goes straight into the live version of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere off Ready Steady Go
yeah(BTW, that live version on the soundtrack is truly badass in it's entirety w/ that explosive Rickenbacker ), you're talking about what FOLLOWS it. but the irony is that when he talked about a thousand geezers in the audience, it's just after we see a half million kids(which Pete couldn't've imagined then )going wild over theWHO .Jeff Stein placed it there for a reason .another little irony( but NOT in' the Kids Are Alright')is during TOMMY ."good morning campers". they played in the morning to wet, stoned campers .the show is available on YT.
@@tonym994 for sure bro, that live version of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere it's just incredible PT guitar sounds exactly like the vynal version ,don't quote me on this but I think JE bass was recorded because live it interfered with studio equipment, it's great seeing all these interviews in full,love his beatles quote ...
@@tonym994 and just to add on Kids are Alright movie at the end of My Gen Woodstock (just after Melvin Brags end of the 60s interview where Pete says he hated it, OMFG he strums a couple of chords that make my spine tingle ,he's just incredible.
toxic badasss yeah. the chords are very' TOMMY 'sounding. how could he help that?.y' mean where he uses Keith's bass drum to rest his foot for a second? that is one of my favorite WHO moments.I can't believe (the more I hear them here) how damn good they sound doing this genuine R&B early 60's music, w/ a little dash of that danger, w/ their volume for that time. R&B on 'roids..definitely 4 different musicians, that combine well.
I have heard how some singers are actually really small but I never believed it until I saw this!
That bass really projects.
"just basic Shepherd's Bush enjoyment"
I do love it
Those who were there in 1966 are now grandparents, hopefully still alive and maybe they sometimes think about their youth when they were young and wild while the ` oo were the hottest thing around.
This is great thank you for posting ☯️🕉🙀🐾
At the :27 mark in the show's intro, there appears to be a young Bluesbreakers-Era Eric Clapton fiddling around with his Les Paul. Very cool! Anyway, thanks for sharing!
the man and the instrument that made a great record w/ John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
I heard something or other about his next big trip was with a band called "Cream"
superb, thanks
Roger looks about three foot tall.
Status quo's pictures of matchstick men was influenced by roger
*@My Drug Hell* _He was (is)of average height , it's just the way how Entwistle and Townshend are placed.....
@@PAULLONDEN Like Heck! There's something WAY WAY WAY outta whack in the filming there, and it ain't how John & Pete are placed! Notice Keith is the same "shrunken" ratio as Roger?
That is totally weird!
*@Matthew Hamersly* Yes...hello !....might that not be because Keith was further at the back and sitting behind his kit ? .....>1:50< nuthin "weird" going on here , it's all about "perspective" ,ask any art teacher or architect .
or are ya'll stung by the "fake news" virus ?
Roll on next week's edition with the Pretty Things!
Wish I could see that!!
I love Pete Townshend. Amazing artist, and honest.
Keith Moon🌙 got away with murder here, amazing drumming.
Fantastic!! Big thanx
Roger looks like Dennis Waterman in Little Britain.
This fuckin shit sounds pretty good.
1966...oh yeah!
pre punk, punk
What did Caroline Munro and Spike Milligan do?
My grandfather's 57th birthday. Roget the black eye on new years even 1965. My favorite band of all time!
It was pretty stupid to put the shortest person in the band at the very bottom.
The girl on the stool is that Caroline Munro, the James Bond Girl?
カッコいいね
weird how the presenter looks like Mike Stax of The Loons/ Ugly Things
The Walker Brothers...not actual brothers.
"You Know Me?" this was when they played "Maximum R&B"
The title of that song is Out In The Street (You're Gonna Know Me) 👍
I preferred Daltry better when he dropped his bluesy American voice and sang more natural.
Caroline Munro
I know Roger ain't tall but he looks like a proper midget compared to the rest of the band on that riser.
HughieDixon 5ft 5 in fact very minute,but a great bloke
Roger is 5’7. On the shorter side but no midget. I have hugged him and spent hours with him. He is very normal looking. 😀
16 yr old Caroline Munro pictured here..
I noted that on THe Who facebook...wild huh
1:24 Come on sweetie. Show off them pearly whites.
Yeah, The Who were probably the worst mimer’s in the history of rock, especially Pete & Keith. Watching Moon do it makes me laugh my ass off. They gave no fucks
Not a happy band there for the first track Out In The Street.
Miming in front of the hired audience in a lit studio, maybe a late night gig night before, Maybe they didn't want to promote that material for Talmy and Brunswick/Decca and were aching to move on
Mahatma Cote Actually, The Who LOVED Decca in America (not always their promoting, but they got the records in stores) and felt bad over the Shel Talmy deal that saw Decca get dragged into the mess.
@@georgeprice7922 ok, but with the alienating from Talmy - who they must have been happy with in the beginning for his Kinks history - Decca weren't the best lable for Brit bands. The Stones returned from tours having had 3 top charting singles, to be told their touring expenses had eaten the royalties.
@@mahatmacote6478 The Stones were on London in the U.S.
@@389383 I was referring to the Stones RETURNING - to England where they were on Decca , and weren't getting anything from hit records in the UK
