I can't get enough of watching Moon playing the drums.. Their performance on the Rolling Stones RocknRoll Circus Playing "A Quick one".... Thank you for uploading.
The Who had just got off of a big tour when they did Rock n Roll Circus so they were in tip form and the Rolling Stones couldn't stand up against their powerful performance and Mick didn't like it, jealous. But what I remember, Mick was his most slithering self and very seductive to the camera!
This party was up there with the greatest event of the 1960's. The lineup was Jacques Dutronc, The Troggs, Françoise Hardy, Aphrodite’s Child, Johnny Hallyday, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, The Small Faces, P.P. Arnold, Booker T & The MGs, The Pink Floyd, Marie Laforet, The Equals, and many others. I will say however that The Who are not actually performing, they are miming. Apparently, they were seen as on the way your and so they were just booked to mime to a couple of their old hits. Yet, they are just months from releasing Tommy and becoming one of the greatest live bands of the 70s.
Thanks -- never seen this one before. LOL at the titles... "I CAN'T See for Miles"? And as usual, only the French can look bored while having a good time! But it must have been a bit frustrating for the Who to play this show when they were about halfway through the process of recording Tommy, knowing they had all these great new songs in the wings. And of course they had to mime everything when they were a pretty kick ass live band by this point. Still, that didn't prevent Keith from bashing away anyways. No wonder that one girl is covering her ears!
Looking at that crowd just made me think, "remember your parents (grandparents) were once much cooler than you ever were." I think they were pretty selective with that crowd though, to be sure.
Great studio look of set..french audience well dressed some what detached from band..men in audience like I'm a boy lord fauntleroy!! Video has title on screen...I can't see for miles? Clean good period peice...thank you for posting..
How these 4 talented musicians came together is an amazing thing. Love the who especially the Keith moon years. One of a kind drummer one of a kind bass player one of a kind guitar player and of course one of a kind singer.
Pretty sophisticated looking crowd there, with lots of amused / bemused, knowing expressions going on. The joke might be the miming, the earnestness of The Who's 'performance', Pete's tanktop..any one of these. Fun times!
The people on these Melody Varietes clips look like fashion models who've never actually danced to a rock band until now. Perfect hair, but square as fuck.
The whole thing is lip-synched of course - still great. Awesome things of note - Roger's mic swings on I'm A Boy, Keith going full lunatic with the wood blocks on Magic Bus, and for some reason Pete switches guitars.
Looking at the people in the crowd, it'd be interesting to find out what happened to them, where they ended up in life. I know it's stupid, but For some reason I'd find it interesting.
@@michaelbettonville5085 According to Mark Lindsay from Paul Revere & The Raiders the venue had to pay top dollar to groups for performances that were really live. The songs The Who performed were all studio recordings. This was the case for all groups. Or as Mama Cass Elliot said, "Cue the tape." during one of the performances; I believe it was on the Ed Sullivan Show. You can find it on RUclips.
It's the one that was included on their greatest hits compilation "Meaty, Beaty, Big And Bouncy". Better to my mind than the 45 rpm single version released a few years before.
The Director needed to really give Keith Moon some more camera time because some of the angles are really stiff but the band still comes off as entirely explosive. 🧨 🔥💥
So in 68 the doors already had The End out, and was st pepper out? I think The Who we’re still in a sophomore phase. They started getting incredible between sell out and Tommy. In fact if they didn’t do Tommy I highly doubt they would have survived. The needed that huge opus to keep up w the stones, zep etc
1:18 👈🏻 Now *that's* a _boy_ to my taste ........Lousy sinc performance , couldn't even be bothered to let Entwhistle do his French horn trick for this ultra hip French crowd. 1968 ...a great year for black hair dye .

The reason they never performed it live was because the harmonies they recorded in the studio were too difficult to re-create live. They did eventually add it to their set but that wasn't until 1979. They also did it occasionally in 1982, and in 1989 they did it every night because they had back-up singers on that tour.
@@tomcarl8021I know. I've seen them do it live and there are a dozen live videos, after the days of Keith Moon. There are at least three or four videos from the original band but they're all lip synched. Considering how much The Who hated lip synching and how much they liked musical challenges, I'm surprised they didn't find another way. They managed to recreate Baba O'Riely live, without a keyboards player or violinist.
@@Zacdawac I don't recall any of them ever saying they hated lip-synching. I don't think they gave a damn whether they did or not. In fact, they probably preferred to lip-sync. They didn't have to spend hours getting their sound right in a t.v. studio. They could walk right in and get it over with, and leave. The viewers would hear the studio recording, which is what they were selling in the first place. And the viewers could also see how exciting they were visually. Lip-synching was win-win for them.
@@tomcarl8021 That's not what I always heard and I've sat down with members of the band and people in their inner circle. Your argument makes sense, though. I guess it might depend on the venue and situation. If their goal was just to sell the studio versions of their songs, they wouldn't have put so much focus on their live act that they prided as being the best in rock and roll. After a specific album left the charts, the bulk of their money came from touring and live performances. In later years, that was pretty much most of what Roger and John had, since they didn't get writing royalties (Entwistle songs were rarely used in film or TV). If you watch the lip synched I Can See for Miles videos, I don't think they showed off their live act very well or would have made people want to line up for concert tickets.
I remember reading somewhere that I Can See From Miles was reportedly performed in either some of the 1967 or 1968 tours, but for the life of me I cannot find where I read that again. Needless to say that a recording from any of the shows that it could've been played at, doesn't exist.
Went to their show in 83 at the old JFK. Yeah, kids. I grew up in the GREATEST era of music. We were so cool that only babies cried because someone was smoking on the club dance floor. Music was better. Clothes were cooler. Real anti establishment. Not this "I still live with mumsy and dada" shit while crying fake angst. Kids today are missing out on the world while attached to their umbilical cord phones.
This is miming. You can tell the way Keith is playing. He had two styles. His "real" playing, live, and his miming style which was hilarious and totally not accurate. He forgot what he played on the record because he was so unique, so he just does weird gestilucations and hits the wrong things at the wrong times. My favorite drummer of all.
@@joaofernandes2827 it is, but the usual approach these days (and for the last few decades) is to take "The" as part of the group name - which remains untranslated, just as "Who" remains untranslated.

Every beat Keith did was like a beat in a fight...
Kieth's style of drumming was just so original, amazing.
Heavily influenced by Gene Krupa…and drugs.
Moonie beating the drums like they owe him money. what a time capsule.
Moonie always steals the show! I lovvit.
Most of us are toasting the New Year with champagne. The Who spend New Years Eve lip syncing....lol
Pete's New Year's resolution was to go write an monumental rock opera named Tommy.
That opera (lol) was a piece of crap ...
Keith giving it all and sweating like a good 'un despite them just miming!
It's so fun to watch Moonie make fun of this lip-synch garbage.

Weird that some bands performed live on this show and others mimed. This isn't the version of 'I'm a Boy' that I'm familiar with.
pretty sure this audio is from the studio versions of these songs. They are definitely lip-synced.

Most likely it was recorded live before the show, then mimed for the broadcast. That’s why it’s not a familiar version. Common practice back then.

Why is every "live" video of I Can See for Miles from Keith Moon's day lip synched? Didn't they ever actually perform that song?
The reason they never performed it live was because the harmonies they recorded in the studio were too difficult to re-create live. They did eventually add it to their set but that wasn't until 1979.
