This is a really deep well of music. Good start with this song, but there is so much from these guys that is iconic. I look forward to you delving into it. I think you'll appreciate the vast majority of it. And yeah, Moon was a beast. There are songs where it's one long fill with a little beat thrown in here and there for good measure. A good suggestion would be "I Can See For Miles."
And so your journey with The Who begins. As many commenters have suggested, "Won't Get Fooled Again", "I Can See For Miles", and the rock opera, "Tommy" are just a few of so many to hear and see. I love their live performances as well as the studio versions. Have fun exploring! IMHO, I think The Who and the Beatles are the two most influential rock bands of the 60s...I can hear touches of their influence lyrically, vocally and instrumentally on almost every other rock band that followed in the 70s, 80s and beyond.
Fun fact: A very young guy, just finishing college, named Farrokh Bulsara, had just a few albums to his name. One of them was The Who's "Tommy" which his buddies/roommates have said he played over and over again. After college, Farrokh changed his name to Freddie Mercury, convinced his bandmates - Brian May and Roger Taylor (and, eventually, John Deacon) - to change the name of the band to QUEEN and, on their 4th album, released his own operatic rock song, "Bohemian Rhapsody"...and the rest is history.
The Who will always leave you flat out speechless
When you listen to Won't Get Fooled Again make sure its the live version from Shepperton Studio. Watching The Who live is an experience!
I've been waiting for quite a while, and finally MMBxMOB meets "The Who"! So glad were starting on this important musical step. "Baba O'Riley" is a great place to start, the first song on the classic album "Who"s Next". Follow with "Won't Get Fooled Again", the last song on the album. Two of the greatest all-time Rock songs. And "Fooled Again" has the best rock drums of all time, as far as I am concerned. Then you need to see some "Live Who".
Groovy tunes. I like hearing your interesting comments. By the way, it’s “baa baa” orielly, not bubba.
Moon the Loon. lol He was a beast on the drums! You should catch their live stuff. Then you can really see him cut loose.
Like everyone else has said, “Won’t Get Fooled Again” should be next. Their greatest achievement from over 50 years of brilliant achievements.
The WHO wasn't a top 40 singles band BUT their albums sold A LOT in the USA and they where on the radio a TON. They were and are very popular in the USA--they still sell out concerts and they always did.
Wait until you hear some stuff that features the bass player more prominently......you'll understand where he got the nickname "Thunder Fingers."
Not for nothin, but the guitarist of the proto-punk band Death (from Detroit), his favorite guitarist was Pete Townsend. Well, Hendrix might have been #1, but Pete was a close second. That's a band you need to check out. Watch the documentary A Band Called Death.
Great job analyzing this song, man! You really went in-depth, nicely done! Definitely one of my favorite songs of all-time. These guys are obviously musical geniuses.
My first WHO concert finished with a drummer out of the crowd after the second time Moonie passed out.
Cow Palace?
I saw a tik tok video about that last night.
When Kansas City played Tampa Bay in the super bowl, CBS at the end of the 1st quarter used this song to go into the commercial break. Timeless!
Greatest Rock Band Ever
Best comment I have heard from ya about Roger Daltrey's voice. Singing like his life depended on it
The meaning behind a "rock opera" is an opera, a story told through songs and musical pieces, with a central theme, but with rock music instead of operatic music. The Who's album "Tommy" is the first commercially successful rock opera. It tells the story of a child dealing with a secret he is not allowed to share, which involves his parents. This secret affects him in major ways.
Opening to csi tv series
If you do listen to "Won't get fooled again" please make it the 1978 Shepperton Studios live version, you will see why ...🙂
Go hard on the Who.
Keith Moon brought in the violin player for the end of "Baba O'Riley, and he played the drums following the violin. Moon got "producing" credit for the violin. The term "Rock Opera" is refering to a group of songs, intentionally writen and structured to tell a story. The Who dabbled in two short operas, and then their classic "Tommy" was the first double-album rock-story ever done. Without the Who, you would not have all the other rock story-albums following, including Pink Floyd's "The Wall".
The Who was the first to stack cuz anyone who heard them always needed to turn the volume up to full power
Keith's drumming style was 'the melody.' The Who didn't find his equal until Zak Starkey (Ringo Starr's son) stepped in for their Quadrophenia tour in '96.
The Who was the 1st group to use the drums as the lead. Give Pete Townsend credit for using the drums as the lead instead of the typical guitar as the lead
This is a fantastic yet restrained performance for Moon. He was unlike any other drummer.
The Who were one of the best - part of the British invasion. Enjoy the rabbit hole of The Who. Rock opera - listen to Tommy. The movie can be strange, but the music is best from the LP. By the way, you should see this live!
"Tommy" was their rock opera which was turned into a movie "Baba Riley" was part of their unfinished 2nd rock opera along with my Favorite "Behind Blue Eyes."
From Tommy - "Look Into The Mirror" has the See me Feel me part people can't find because of the name. The big hit was "Pinball Wizard"
The Who Rock Operas...Tommy and Quadrophenia.
They played Tommy at Woodstock.
An EPIC performance.
Watch Roger's microphone technique.
My favorite group, favorite album of all time, Who's Next.
The Who have many great songs/albums/eras but my favorites come from their Live at Leeds album. It was recorded in 1971, a time which perfectly mixed their youthful energy and musical growth, creating a raw powerful sound that hits different. My Generation, Young Man Blues, Amazing Journey/Sparks, Magic Bus, and many more are all incredibly powerful performances.
This is the best song for a reaction because it always starts with “What is this electronica nonsense, I thought this is a rock band” and ends with “this is the hardest rock song I’ve ever heard”.
Pete Townsend was emulating the modern music of Terry Riley, and his composition "In C," for the synthesized introduction of this song.
It may not surprise you to learn that the Muppets Animal was based on Kieth Moon
Well done man. Keep going. So much great music from this band. My first album by them was 1968. Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy. The Who were one of the biggest bands EVER! they were way ahead of the rest of the pack in all ways. Great reaction . Recommend for your next song "Won't Get Fooled Again " from 1971.👍👍🤟🤟Go crazy man says the 64 year old rocker 👍👍
I think you would really enjoy Love Reign O'er Me, and Eminent Front, Won't Get Fooled Again, The Seeker. The Who has so many hits. One of the best.
Always watch the live version of any Who song.
Originally Marshall made speakers 8ft × 4ft. Pete Townshend had them make them 4ft × 4ft
Yeah you’ve probably heard the intro if you’ve watched any of those CSI shows!
Moon’s style: chaos
Off stage the only real controversy about Moon is how he managed to live as long as he did.
His nickname was Moon The Loon.
Enjoying the channel up here 🇨🇦
search for the live version of this with Pete doing epic guitar leaps, and landing on his knees and slides and Roger doing microphone swirls and Keith doing his crazy drum style
Great reaction, man. There is so much more that I'm sure you will love. I have to say Pinball Wizard is high on your list I would think, it literally is one of the most iconic rock songs of all time.
Check the Real Me and hear how John kills the bass on one take . The live version of a Quick One on Rolling Stones circus is awesome! Most of their live stuff is great
Yes! Thank you! The studio version of "The Real Me" has the greatest Bass playing, awesome drums, all out crazy musicianship. The best video of Moon playing drums is on the live "A Quick One While He's Away" at the "Rolling Stones Rock & Roll Circus". That video shows why so many fans love Keith Moon even more than the great Bonham.
@@jraben1065 Sparks at Tanglewood is fantastic too.
Rock Opera is a different beast than the violin. Listen to the songs from Tommy., a real roc,k opera.
Pete Townshend's two leading philosophical and musical inspirations: Maher Baba and Terry Riley.
The song did not chart in the US because it was not released as a single. It has to be released as a single in order to chart. It did receive heavy radio play during the 70's. The album it came from, Who's Next charted at #4 in the US and is 3x platinum album, selling at least 3 million copies here.
If you're able, and like films, "Tommy", a rock opera with Daltrey, Tina Turner, Elton John, etc. is a very good time spent; and many think Quadrophenia, also The Who, is also of the best rock films done. The Who we're popular(my time in high school in the early/mid 70's)in their time thought of as awesome, if not risky. Pete Townsend was pretty much the first guy, we saw them, to smash his guitar into the amps at the end of shows, his arm swinging on the guitar was wild to see. Like yourself, with the really really good stuff it's hard not to spot it. Keith Moon was/is a rock drumming god, special talent, and was a mad crazy fucker! Keep on, baby; ups to your stuff.
Keith Moon is modeled on Gene Krupa...Fantastic drummer, Keith Moon was
If you want to see them playing (especially Moon) watch the version of "Who are You" where they are making it in the studio.
I played through Marshall stacks several times and I have to tell you it really is a thrill. It's just so much power. I've played through half-stacks but I've also played through several full-stacks.
It was Townsend who urged Marshall to make amps louder.
They used this song on the TV series House a lot too. A Lot of talent in this band for sure.
Basically the music couldn't get loud enough for Townsend so he went to people, like jim Marshall, and said, "It's got to be louder!"
I would wholly endorse Young Man Blues Live at the Isle of Wight after your observations in this reaction 👍
Baba O'Riley refers to Indian Spiritual leader Maher Baba (1894- 1969) and American musician Terry Riley (1935- ) , two men guitarist Pete Townshend considered his spiritual and musical inspirations.
You might want to watch a video of Sina-Drums covering this song wherein you see her playing the drums up close for the whole thing. You sadly can no longer get anything like that from the long gone original artists, but talented cover artists can show you what it was like. Sina is an amazing young lady at this sort of thing.
if you haven't yet you ought to listen to "Won't Get Fooled Again"
Moon's style was called "pandemonium" (maybe only by me, but it fits). The Who was actually NOT a band. They were an assault crew with a soundtrack.
Wanna hear the mighty Who at their funkiest?
Check out “Eminence Front”,the live version.
Guaranteed to get you on your feet.
Roger Daltrey was known to have one of the strongest voice in the 70´s among ronck singers
Really, the next song you listen to should be Won’t Get Fooled Again. It is incredible in that it beautifully showcases the talent and artistry of each member of the band - Keith’s drums, John Entwistle’s masterful bass, Roger Daltrey’s iconic singing, and Pete Townshend’s synthesizer and power guitar. All happening at the same time. One of the greatest rock anthems of all time.
For a completely different take on The Who from the exact time period that song was created and recorded, check out the film clip of them performing "Young Man Blues" from the 1970 Isle Of Wight festival. You get an idea of what a force of nature The Who were on-stage.
When I was a kid, there were 3 great rock singers. Robert Plant, Roger Daltrey and the fabulous
Paul Young. (Free and Bad Company).
Check them out and prepare to be amazed.
Amazingly, that synth intro isn't a computer loop. Pete Townsend actually played every note of that on a keyboard. These people were absolute masters of their respective instruments. They've also been called the first "punk" band, and I can see that.
Love your reactions. You’re a good dude.
What a great reaction. First time here.
Love Reign O'er Me... this one will blow you skirt up. Lol. Seriously listen to it.
Won't Get Fooled Again, Love Reign O'er Me, The Real Me, My Generation and the rest of the Who's Next Album, oh and Who Are you
Moon was a hard drummer, but he could play light. His greatest music strengths was how he would play the fills and how he could seamlessly shift his part of the rhythm section with the guitar, the bass, and the vocals. Daltrey's roaring voice and harmonica has its roots singing American R&B and blues. The violin solo is not "rock opera." The two "operas" are "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia," both outstanding albums, especially "Quadrophenia." The Who were already well broken through and "famous" in America by the time of the release of "Who's Next." They broke through with Tommy and subsequent touring, plus Woodstock, being in the film, as well as performing at and being in the film "Monterrey Pop." Who's Next pushed them into massive radio play and super-stardom. From about 1970 through to the mid 80's The were a staple on FM Album Rock radio. From about 1970-through their tour in 1975 they were one of the premier touring rock acts and sold millions of albums. The Who albums are good, some great, and well produced, but there is nothing like this band live. Which is why you should probably consider listening to "Live at Leeds," which is basically The Who at the height of their powers or to see them on stage, "The Who - Tanglewood." No one touched this band live.
Fab reaction - thanks! I've known the Who and loved their sound for several decades now. Mainly think that they were such a small band numbers-wise but each member absolutely top of their game. I especially appreciated John's skill. Cheers!
Check out “Won’t Get Fooled Again” live Shepparton studio 1978! Awesome !!
Not the greatest demonstration of Keith's playing style. This one he plays very straight. He was a one of a kind. Some of the earlier live performances are a good start to learn about Keith. Live at Leeds was a great album, and there's great youtube videos of various performances. Near the end close to 1978 when he died, he declined somewhat due to his lifestyle and alcoholism.
Moon was definitely the wildest man of rock and roll, even up against the huge competition.
Great reaction and commentary! Well done!
Thanks for giving them a whirl. Incredible band of collective and individual brilliance.
Thank you!
Moon once drove a car into a swimming pool boys we get f***** up Destoroyah tell rooms
I love seeing a new generation being exposed to stuff I love. Keep in mind most of these things were BRAND NEW. at the time. Synthesizers had just recently been invented, and Pac-Man was years later. Before Keith Moon drummers still wore suit and ties to perform. And being there when this album first came out - Holy Crap what a great time to be alive.
I am of the second generation of The Who's fans. My older brother 'discovered' them when he bought a record player to listen to our Dad's college records. Who's Next is a great record. I'm glad to see a third generation discover them.
The Who were one of the iconic groundbreakers, up there with the Stones and Beatles, back in the 60's.
Baba O'Riley was used as the theme song for the TV show CSI New York. All of the CSI shows used Songs by the Who. The original and now rebooted CSI Las Vegas is "Who Are You" CSI Miami is "Won't Get Fooled Again" CSI Cyber is "I Can See For Miles"
If you want a good example for Moon, check out the next song in this album after this one, “Bargain”.
Moon is not just a drummer he is a lead drummer........
I love it when you young people (😂😂😂) educate yourselves....Marshall Stack...fantastic!!!
I love at the end they bring in the east Indian sound. I went to ‘one of’ their last concerts in Toronto in 1983 when I was 18! I think you’ve got the right idea! ❤
The unique dynamic of the Who musically. Was that the 3 players were all supreme soloists in their own right. Individually or combined, carrying a song. Your observation of Rogers powerful singing is spot on. But LIVE is where they could shine. Others mentioned the spectacular performance on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. One of their early operatic like compositions, A Quick One While He’s Away. This vid and their performance of Young Man Blues at the Isle of Wight in 1970. Will show you the speed, power and showmanship of Keith Moon in particular. There’s a lot going on in both, so watch them all though!!!
The Who were more an albums band than a singles band -- they had nine top ten albums in the US, though no number ones in America (they hit #2 three times). Who's Next, the album that included "Baba O'Reilly," hit #4 in the US and #1 in Britain (their home country).
They had a handful of top 10 singles in the US and more in the UK. "My Generation" was probably their most successful single in their home country, reaching #2 in the charts.
Their "rock operas" are works where several songs form a single narrative -- sometimes the entire album like in Tommy or Quadrophenia (both of which got turned into movies).
Who's Next was supposed to be a rock opera called Lifehouse, but Pete Townsend's plans for a multimedia interactive album were just too ambitious to realize. The internet didn't exist yet in 1971, and that's kind of what Pete Townsend needed to bring his vision fully to fruition.
All the CSI shows use the WHO as intro music
One of the rock Legends whose name I forget said that if John Bonham was the best drummer ever then Keith Moon was by far the most Sensational drummer ever
The Who is very popular in the US.
Try listening to a Classic Rock FM station.
This was composer and lead guitarist , Pete Townsend’s reaction to seeing the films of Woodstock. He hated hippies!
The Muppet’s “ Animal” was based on Keith Moon’s playing. There are some great studio videos of them playing live - WHO ARE YOU is one.
You are one of the very best reactors! Your analysis and genuine enthusiasm is great to see.
All if the CSI shows use the Who as their theme song openers. You might’ve recognized this from that.
Oh my gosh, Animal from the Muppets is based on Keith Moon! If you want to just Keith going bonkers, watch "A Quick One Whilr He's Away" it's fantastic, all four of them are top of their game.
you need to listen to anything from ,live at leeds or isle of wight to see what Moon is really about , Moon is the only drummer that nobody has ever done a convincing cover off , says it all to me .
Well done, reaction. "Won't Get Fooled Again" is particularly good, with insightful lyrics. Valid point, about who is commercially successful and how they got it. Similar to who is and who isn't inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
This album Who's Next is basically an unfinshed rock opera, Lifeboat, as I recollect.
*Lifehouse.
@@jkorshak thank you
Moon always seemed like he'd do a hip-hop beat to me, The Who.. truly one of my favorites and definitely one of the greats.
Proto-metal, in a lot of senses
And youve been one of my favorite reactors for years, my guy. We all gotta get together before we get much older 💯
You should have done the live version from "The Kids are Alright" 1978
If your looking for their real Rock Opera...It's the Who Quadrophenia Album.. Buckle up !
In the 1970s, a huge proportion of young people were unemployed - I believe this is what Roger Daltrey refers to as Teenage Wasteland - the business community has wasted them by failing to employ them.
Keith Emerson of Emerson Lake and Palmer was the pioneer of Synthesizers. Carl Palmer did the 1st ever recorded electric drum solo in ELP's "Toccata"
Ever heard of Kraftwerk?
that's not what Rock Opera means. Tommy by the Who is a movie that is a rock opera. Also, Pink Floyd The Wall is another rock opera. It's a musical story that is scaled large like an opera.
Growing up in the 70s it was always The Who 1st & Led Zeppelin 2nd or Led Zeppelin 1st and The Who 2nd. No one else was in their range cuz no one else had their power and raw energy
recommend playing the full album Quadrophenia
and then the next song...
It wasn't Led Zeppelin you were thinking of comparing them to was it? Keith Moon was an incredible drummer and so was John Bonham
Woodstock
Bubba O'Reillys auto parts
