Sorry if our voices sound a little funky with the new mic set up, will make sure to do more sound checks next time! Any how! What’s the next track we gotta check out by THE WHO?! They’ve gotten 3 back to back 10’s from us, what’s the next track to blow our minds?! Let us know down below! Have a great weekend friends!!! 🔥🤟🏻
Wow this reaction was better than I imagined it would be. Thanks. Loved this. Behind Blue Eyes, SqueezeBox, I Can See For Miles , Immenance Front.. soo many 10 bangers.... and by the way this song was one of the themes for a CSI shows.

"I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name. He said, 'You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away'." One of my all-time favorite lines.
Gavin Steiner Townshend wrote this after drinking in London with Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Pistols. There’s an interview on RUclips with PT and Jones talking about that night
he based it on a real experience too, 'I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name' because he acc did wake up in a soho doorway, and a policeman did know his name
Roger said that Pete wrote Who are you? as a contemplative question about the singer's self and meaning of his life. Daltry said he decided to sing it angry rather than contemplative. Well, of course he did! 😂👍👍
@@VideoDotGoogleDotCom Time and experience. I do believe you steel feel young emotionally/spiritually in your old age. But you can’t help how life and time changes you in some ways either.
I was thinking of a different song for them to do other than the 3 they listed and THIS is it. Daltrey was the FIRST power vocalist. This is one of his best!
You ain't kiddin brother. Zeppelin, The Eagles, Steely Dan, Boston, Styx, Queen, Bad Co., Aerosmith, Chicago, Fleetwood Mac, the list could go on & on.
As a Scottish British man, I have to say that the English British have historically been the masters of the universe when it comes to rock music. Untouchable, man!
Entwhistle was the greatest fat-stringer, and that's saying a lot with Geezer Butler, Paul McCartney, Billy Sheehan, Geddy Lee and Steve Harris out there to choose from.
Kieth Moon was a fuckin beast John Entwistle a bass god Roger a demon on vocals and Pete the visionary writer producer badass guitarist what a great band
Every Who song is a 10, and then there's The Who in concert. In person. The Who right in front of you. Daltrey, all over the stage dancing and yo-yo-ing the mic way out over the audience. Townshend ripping up the guitar, swinging mighty windmills and destroying equipment. Moon zig-zagging all over his kit, in the end blowing it up. Entwistle standing still in back banging at full volume. It was wonderful.
Yes, listen to their songs in order of release to truly appreciate their growth. They had an unbelievably long period of progression. They went from the era of early 60's bubblegum, through 70's arena rock and the disco era and never sounded like they were musically stagnating over the whole time. Very rare.
@@andyball8379 So many great lyrics; I'm a substitute for another guy, I look pretty tall but my heels are high. The simple things you see are all complicated, I look pretty young but I'm just backdated. Or; All I did was have a bit too much to drink and I picked the wrong precinct.
@@dancingbear1776 They got 40+ years of homework to do - That's a lot of rock to review. They'll both have gray hair by the time they finish - and we'll all be in our graves!
"The Real Me" is one of the most badass bass guitar work John Entwistle ever did. There is also a really cool live in the studio video version of "Who Are You" that you'd love
Quadrophenia is an underloved album with a lot of bangers. "Real Me," "5:15," "The Punk and the Godfather," "Love, Reign O'er Me," "The Rock." Such a great album, start to finish. Better than Tommy and Who's Next, in my blasphemous opinion.
Who Are You", composed by Pete Townshend, is the title track on The Who's 1978 album, Who Are You, the last album released by the group before Keith Moon's death in September 1978. It was released as a double-A sided single with the John Entwistle composition "Had Enough", also featured on the album. The song was one of the band's biggest hits in North America, peaking at number 7 in Canada and at number 14 in the US, and has become one of the band’s signature tunes at their live shows. The piano on the track is played by Rod Argent. The lyrics of "Who Are You" were inspired by an incident Townshend experienced. After going out drinking with Steve Jones and Paul Cook of the Sex Pistols, Townshend was found in a "Soho doorway" by a policeman, who let him go if he could safely walk away.
A+A often speak of dynamics...in the case of the "interlude " the lack of dynamic range of the digital versions (CD/MP3, etc) when compared with the original vinyl, is substantial. I remember having to increase the volume considerably to hear the bass solo when listening to the LP...only to be blown back in my chair when the synth came back in.
"Love, Reign O'er Me" is a straight 10. You won't be disappointed. "My Generation" is fun and iconic, but it's definitely raw. You can tell they did it when they were young. It's awesome in it's own way, but if you want another mature, well crafted, perfect 10 song, you gotta go with "Love, Reign O'er Me"
A friend of mine in college back in the mid-80's told me he almost crashed his car when he heard Love Reign O'er Me for the first time when it played on the radio in his car. If the other songs from The Who Alex and Andy have reacted to are 10's.......Love Reign O'er Me is a 15.
If you listen to "My Generation," do a contrast between the single release at about 3:00 and the epic live version on Live at Leeds, clocking in at over 14:00. Both showcase one of the greatest rock bassists ever, John Entwhistle.
This is an example of why the late 60s to late 70s is the best period of rock music. Super talent, super songvwriting, and super production. Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Stones, Yard Birds, The Doors, Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, Yes, Rush, Queen, Steely Dan, Heart, etc, etc, etc
They should just react to the entire Who's Next album the way they reacted to the debut album by Boston. Who's Next is one of those rare albums that contains no clunkers. Another great one on Who's Next is "Getting In Tune"!!!! It's great when Roger goes from a sweet, mellow voice to full-fledged Leather Lungs Daltrey in a span of a few minutes like he does on "Getting In Tune".......as well as "Behind Blue Eyes".
Been a Who fan for 45 plus years. They really shine Live. Live At Leeds is the best live album ever. Young Man Blues or My Generation off that album would be my picks.
@@kenthunter6850 You could be, and probably are, right. I always thought it was them, but I'm not a big fan of theirs, so I'm not sure. Great song though. IMO.
You're both doing a terrific job. I love seeing two young people appreciating the classic rock songs of the past. As far as the Who goes, listen to Love Reign O'er Me...Incredible song, especially Roger Daltrey's voice in that one. Keep up the great work boys.
The Who has always been an enigma to me. In some ways, they were the first punk band ever. But in other ways, they were the best prog rock band ever. I guess they were just The Who!
I’ve heard the punk part before. Always made sense to me. They were punks before punks. I mean c’mon, My Generation. “People try to put us down, just because we get around. The things they do look awful cold, I hope I die before I get old.”
"Eminence Front" is my fav Who tune ~ I saw The Who in Folsom Field in Boulder early 80s. I was loaded, I don't remember a lot - but I do recall dancing to this.
I’m sorry for all who weren’t born in my generation!! Early 80s were the best time for me learning all theses great rock bands!!! Lovin it!!!!! Love u guys!!!!!
Moon died right before this album's release, and he's sitting in that chair on the cover that says Not To Be Taken Away.....tell me there isn't something cosmic about that!
To be fair, that caption was printed on the chair after he passed. A very early photoshop I guess you could say. But still an amazing tribute and final album for him.
One of the best bands ever, each member great in their own right. Daltreys vocals second to none..Keith Moon attacking the drums.. Pete Townsend on guitar and vocals.. awesome..John Entwistle one of the best bassist ever. Arguably the best band ever..Just sayin there is a good argument for them..👍
I don't remember a lot from the time back when this song came out, but I definitely remember my friends and I waiting for this album to drop and tearing it apart for days!! The song is still fire!!
Pete Townsend is a genius for the ages. He's the writer / composer of the who. But then you have the unique, powerful and possessed Moon on drums, followed by the innovator and originator of the rock bass, Thunder Fingers
"Join Together" is a must, "Behind Blue Eyes", "Eminence Front", anything you can check out from the Live Secret Policeman's Ball is so cool too! Earlier work "I Can't Explain" was their first single as The Who, "I Can See For Miles" from 1967. The 1973 Quadrophenia album is amazing, live is the best. Enjoy guys, great choice!!
A true factoid- all of the CSI franchise use different The Who songs as their opening credit songs. The original series used this song, with it being revived this year as CSI:Vegas I suspect we’ll be hearing it again.
This was the last album to feature Keith Moon on drums before he died. Behind Blue Eyes and Love Reign O'er Me are both 10's that you should listen to.
Thats a great double album release, "Live in Toronto". I was at every Toronto WHO concert from 1975 to 2012. That's like 15 concerts tours or specials. (I missed earlier and later ones due to my age or living abroad). Only the first 3 with Keith Moon as drummer.
Watching you guys makes me feel like I'm hearing this song for the first time, again. What a great feeling. I was 20 years old when this song was released in 1978. It blew me away. 🤯
I was born in 78 and have listed to 60s and 70s music all my life but only found the who a couple of years ago and wow their fabulous quadrophenia is probably my favourite album ever.
1978, their last album with Keith Moon on the drums. If you want a religious experience of classic Rock music, listen to all of 'Quadrophenia' (1973) - they were hitting their peak.
"The Real Me" "Bargain" "5: 15" "Had Enough" "I Can See For Miles" "Slip Kid" "The Quiet One" "Getting In Tune" "Join Together" "Goin' Mobile" "The Punk & The Godfather" "Love Reign O'er Me" "Trick Of The Light" "Pure & Easy" "Sister Disco" "I Can't Explain" "Long Live Rock" "The Seeker"
@@jayrice5156 That IS a nice cover! (...but that was only released 'cause some dimp decided that, "for the upcoming anniversary reissue, on CD..." ...they needed ...additional unreleased cuts ... ...It's not, really, "a Who song," at all.... (Just sayin'...👍👍)
I heard this on my radio the other day in the car, and I immediately thought of you two, and that I wished you'd listen to this classic piece of art. Cosmically cool. BTW, research Pete Townsend....he is a legit musical genius.
That killer strumming in the first part of the solo is John Entwistle, playing the bass - he was widely considered one of the most skilled bassists of his time.
It’s so weird for me, the music I’ve taken for granted (I knew it was slamming) is getting it’s rightful due all these years later. ROCK And ROLL will never die. It’s true, my heart swells with happiness, very, very loud happiness. Peace, Phil.
Bend your ears their Quadrophenia album. Every one is in full flight through out the entire. Special stand out tracks are the opening song The Real Me and the closer Love rein O're Me . "Love....." has to my ears the ultimate rock screaming and probably my favorite rock closer on an album of time. When I first heard it it I was mesmerized and speechless.
Not only did Kieth Moon play the hell out of the drums, he also sang along and performed a bit of slaptick as well. If you can watch him play it is joyous.
"Behind blue eyes" I think the Who arn't given their due when people talk about greatest bands ever, their music is consistently quality bangers. It is no surprise for me that you have given them three straight tens.
Pretty much anything off of the Royal Scam or Aja albums is awesome. They have some more mainstream hits from earlier in their career, too, like "Do it Again," which is the song that got me into them as a kid.
Mention the irony of the “Not To Be Taken Away” chair Keith is sitting on. It broke my heart in the day...still does. Edit: By the way...the Shepperton video of this song will blow your socks off! Actually “The Kids Are Alright” is a classic.
BEHIND BLUE EYES - This shows how fabulous they are at gentle songs as well.... Roger (the singer) has said that he loved Keith's (the drummer) playing because he played along with what Roger was singing. As for the synthesiser, even the best Moog players, including Keith Emerson, said that only Pete Townsend could really use the instrument to its full capability. So glad you enjoyed the song as they were one of the soundtracks to my teenage years. Believe it or not, they are releasing a brand new Who album in time for Christmas.
If you want to Keith Moon at his peak, than it's "A Quick One" from The Rock and Roll Circus. No one can touch The Who live when they were in their prime. No one.
@pbr streetgang The Who definitely blew The Stones off the stage at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus gig, but The Stones version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at that show is incredible! Mick Jagger at his finest! If you haven't seen it, you should.
Behind blue eyes is a really deep emotional song that obviously was written very carefully. Just please listen. It's about a guy who is frustrated and feels he has to watch what he says and how he acts.
Again, as I commented on the other Who song you played, I saw them as a tripleheader at the Boulder field in the mid 80s. When they sang this song, Roger Daltry was running in place and when they reached a crescendo everyone in the stadium reach the crescendo with them, and were up on our feet and it was such a unifying oneness that we all experienced!

You can say that, "all these great bands", but the Who always stood out head and shoulders above 97 percent of the bands listed.
The next song by the Who that would most likely be another consecutive 10 is most likely "Behind Blue Eyes".
Oh hell yeah!
They should just react to the entire Who's Next album the way they reacted to the debut album by Boston. Who's Next is one of those rare albums that contains no clunkers. Another great one on Who's Next is "Getting In Tune"!!!!

I agree, Eminence Front and 5:15 should be added to the list as well
It still pisses me off that somehow, someway people think Limp Bizkit actually wrote "Behind Blue Eyes." Those people must be found and killed.
Just have to put in ONE more vote for another 10 after you do "Pinball Wizard": "Behind Blue Eyes". Just an amazing song.
Behind Blue Eyes gives me chills!
Behind blue eyes!
The way Townshend's guitar goes from tender to brutal is breathtaking.

John Entwhistle is insane in this song! Classic bass line!
Been a Who fan for 45 plus years. They really shine Live. Live At Leeds is the best live album ever. Young Man Blues or My Generation off that album would be my picks.
Heaven & Hell from Leeds is the song that turned me into a Who fanatic
See? What he said. Or Substitute, or Summertime Blues or Shaking All Over. Greatest live album ever imo.
Young man blues is my fave off that album
Also forgot Fortune Teller, which is on longer version of live at leeds. Killer tune
If yoi haven't, check the video of "Young man blues" at the Isle of Wight, 1970.
I still think this is the most well-composed, arranged, and produced song in Rock and Roll history.
"Eminence Front" Guitar solos for the most part come at the end of the song, but it comes at the beginning of this one, and it rocks.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that was Pete's solo album... not really The Who, correct?

You're both doing a terrific job. I love seeing two young people appreciating the classic rock songs of the past. As far as the Who goes, listen to Love Reign O'er Me...Incredible song, especially Roger Daltrey's voice in that one. Keep up the great work boys.
The Who has always been an enigma to me. In some ways, they were the first punk band ever. But in other ways, they were the best prog rock band ever. I guess they were just The Who!
I’ve heard the punk part before. Always made sense to me. They were punks before punks. I mean c’mon, My Generation. “People try to put us down, just because we get around. The things they do look awful cold, I hope I die before I get old.”
Well said.
"Eminence Front" is my fav Who tune ~ I saw The Who in Folsom Field in Boulder early 80s. I was loaded, I don't remember a lot - but I do recall dancing to this.
I’m sorry for all who weren’t born in my generation!! Early 80s were the best time for me learning all theses great rock bands!!! Lovin it!!!!! Love u guys!!!!!
My g-g-g-generation!
Welcome to MY world kiddos! Graduated from high school in 1978. What a GREAT time for music...
"Love Reign O'er Me" has every element of a great song. You won't be disappointed and will be another 10.
Mark Allen you were right they rated it a 10
Moon died right before this album's release, and he's sitting in that chair on the cover that says Not To Be Taken Away.....tell me there isn't something cosmic about that!
apparently he sat that way because of his beer belly, he didnt like it.
To be fair, that caption was printed on the chair after he passed. A very early photoshop I guess you could say. But still an amazing tribute and final album for him.
Us old timers know that Keith was the inspiration for Led Zeppelins name.
Prophetic
One of the best bands ever, each member great in their own right. Daltreys vocals second to none..Keith Moon attacking the drums.. Pete Townsend on guitar and vocals.. awesome..John Entwistle one of the best bassist ever. Arguably the best band ever..Just sayin there is a good argument for them..👍
John … The Best Bassist of All Times…😄😉
I'm a bit jealous watching someone else get to enjoy this song for the first time.
Me too, because you and I won't believe that they'll enjoy as much as we do!!!!! I feel you!!!!!
Isn't that the point here hehe
Same!
I don't remember a lot from the time back when this song came out, but I definitely remember my friends and I waiting for this album to drop and tearing it apart for days!! The song is still fire!!
Matthew Lee Yeah but come on everyone has heard this one on CSI
Pete Townsend is a genius for the ages. He's the writer / composer of the who. But then you have the unique, powerful and possessed Moon on drums, followed by the innovator and originator of the rock bass, Thunder Fingers
My Generation baby
And ofc Meaty with his crazy belts
Not their biggest hit, but the appreciation for this track seems to have risen over the years. It's fantastic.
Being the theme song for CSI had to have helped a lot.
Ten Years After I'd love to change the world. Definitely a ten.
I see you like the One Hit Wonder groups...me too!!!
Absolutely one of my favorite 60s groups
@@yolandajohnson86852 other great songs are Love like a man and the classic go'in home done at Woodstock?
And Love like a man, and these 2 bangers will Love "Going Home" done at Woodstock
@@HenryInHawaii oh okay
I've listened to this 1000's of times, and still find hidden treasures in it. Old or new, you can't beat quality!
The genius of Pete Townshend. Possibly the greatest musicians assembled in one band.
So many great Who songs... "The Real Me" from Quadrophenia will BLOW. YOUR. MINDS.
"Join Together" is a must, "Behind Blue Eyes", "Eminence Front", anything you can check out from the Live Secret Policeman's Ball is so cool too! Earlier work "I Can't Explain" was their first single as The Who, "I Can See For Miles" from 1967. The 1973 Quadrophenia album is amazing, live is the best. Enjoy guys, great choice!!
I love Pete's solo version of 'Drowned.'
I would pick I can see for miles as the banger on the earlier stuff over My Generation.
A true factoid- all of the CSI franchise use different The Who songs as their opening credit songs. The original series used this song, with it being revived this year as CSI:Vegas I suspect we’ll be hearing it again.
This was the last album to feature Keith Moon on drums before he died. Behind Blue Eyes and Love Reign O'er Me are both 10's that you should listen to.
Love Reign o'er me , Emmenince Front Live from Toronto 1982
Thats a great double album release, "Live in Toronto".
I was at every Toronto WHO concert from 1975 to 2012. That's like 15 concerts tours or specials. (I missed earlier and later ones due to my age or living abroad). Only the first 3 with Keith Moon as drummer.
Watching you guys makes me feel like I'm hearing this song for the first time, again. What a great feeling. I was 20 years old when this song was released in 1978. It blew me away. 🤯
I was born in 78 and have listed to 60s and 70s music all my life but only found the who a couple of years ago and wow their fabulous quadrophenia is probably my favourite album ever.
Such a powerful voice... And the bassist ....john entwhistle..... Arguable besr bassist in rock.
One of the best for sure!!
@@AlexScheibli check this out.......

Pete Townshend, certified musical genius. I love the way he used his guitar as a 'synth'.
1978, their last album with Keith Moon on the drums. If you want a religious experience of classic Rock music, listen to all of 'Quadrophenia' (1973) - they were hitting their peak.
"The Real Me"
"Bargain"
"5: 15"
"Had Enough"
"I Can See For Miles"
"Slip Kid"
"The Quiet One"
"Getting In Tune"
"Join Together"
"Goin' Mobile"
"The Punk & The Godfather"
"Love Reign O'er Me"
"Trick Of The Light"
"Pure & Easy"
"Sister Disco"
"I Can't Explain"
"Long Live Rock"
"The Seeker"
5:15 is just pure mayhem. They would lose their minds.
@@gregcox7477 Agreed!!
Had Enough was actually featured in an episode of WKRP in Cincinnati. Great song
"Baby, Don't You Do It."
@@jayrice5156 That IS a nice cover! (...but that was only released 'cause some dimp decided that, "for the upcoming anniversary reissue, on CD..." ...they needed ...additional unreleased cuts
...
...It's not, really, "a Who song," at all.... (Just sayin'...👍👍)
I heard this on my radio the other day in the car, and I immediately thought of you two, and that I wished you'd listen to this classic piece of art. Cosmically cool. BTW, research Pete Townsend....he is a legit musical genius.
When it comes to music, the Baby Boomers win. And it’s not even close.
Matthew Hetzler too bad you guys fucked up everything else
Jimmy Plank, who do you mean by “you guys”? Are you assuming I am a Baby Boomer?
@@jimmyplank9824 I'm guessing you own either an iPhone or an Android device. You're welcome.
@@osimnod I have both. I'm a boomer. And have shell scripts in production that are older'n him. :D
@@richardsteiner8992 Don't you just shake your head at some of these posters?
Love Reign O’re Me.
Close your eyes, and it will take you on a journey. Another hauntingly beautiful song. Powerful...
BEHIND BLUE EYES!!!
That killer strumming in the first part of the solo is John Entwistle, playing the bass - he was widely considered one of the most skilled bassists of his time.
It’s so weird for me, the music I’ve taken for granted (I knew it was slamming) is getting it’s rightful due all these years later. ROCK And ROLL will never die. It’s true, my heart swells with happiness, very, very loud happiness. Peace, Phil.
Y'all ought to do "Behind Blue Eyes". It's easily their best song in my opinion, definitely a 10. Or their set from Woodstock is awesome as well.
I totally agree. My favorite Who song.
It's a nice song but you really like it better than Love Reign O'er me? That is a masterpiece.
Yep
The Who is my favorite English band! Won't Get Fooled Again is my favorite and then this!
Bargain from Who’s Next. Amazing. All of Quadrophenia. All of Tommy.
Agreed, Bargain is another 10
tommy is overated but agree about quadrophinia
@@neilpye6089 - Completely agree.
Quadrophenia is a masterpiece. Pete Townshend at his musical and lyrical best
Bend your ears their Quadrophenia album. Every one is in full flight through out the entire. Special stand out tracks are the opening song The Real Me and the closer Love rein O're Me . "Love....." has to my ears the ultimate rock screaming and probably my favorite rock closer on an album of time. When I first heard it it I was mesmerized and speechless.
Honorable mention: 5:15.
Not only did Kieth Moon play the hell out of the drums, he also sang along and performed a bit of slaptick as well. If you can watch him play it is joyous.
THE WHO..... LOVE REIGN O'ER ME.. IS TOP TEN SONGS EVER WRITTEN YOU DON'T GET MOVED BY THIS SONG YOU SHOULD HAVE YOURSELF CHECKED!!!!
Only four in the band but such power.Andy and Alex are a scream,good fun.
"Behind blue eyes" I think the Who arn't given their due when people talk about greatest bands ever, their music is consistently quality bangers. It is no surprise for me that you have given them three straight tens.
Would love to see you guys react to some Steely Dan. Some suggestions: Kid Charlemagne, Green Earrings, Peg, Josie, Aja. Keep it UP boys!
Pretty much anything off of the Royal Scam or Aja albums is awesome. They have some more mainstream hits from earlier in their career, too, like "Do it Again," which is the song that got me into them as a kid.
❤️❤️❤️
Agreed!
Yes, Yes, Yes, Charlie Freak, Night By Night, King of the World, Your Gold Teeth
YES, please do Steely Dan. "Kid Charlemagne" is a great first choice, or "Don't Take Me Alive."
Going on four years and still your best ... and most real reaction.
Behind Blue Eyes
Pinball Wizard!! Pinball Wizard!!! And, Pinball Wizard!!!
Your reactions when the vocals drop is priceless!
Love Reign O'er Me.
Mention the irony of the “Not To Be Taken Away” chair Keith is sitting on. It broke my heart in the day...still does.
Edit: By the way...the Shepperton video of this song will blow your socks off! Actually “The Kids Are Alright” is a classic.
So unbelieveably ahead of their time for the 60's. And so unbelieveably fresh today.
Released in 1978, but your overall point is spot-on!
@@gravizfake Thanks for the correction. So much good music from that era it's sometimes had to remember exact dates.
BEHIND BLUE EYES - This shows how fabulous they are at gentle songs as well.... Roger (the singer) has said that he loved Keith's (the drummer) playing because he played along with what Roger was singing.
As for the synthesiser, even the best Moog players, including Keith Emerson, said that only Pete Townsend could really use the instrument to its full capability.
So glad you enjoyed the song as they were one of the soundtracks to my teenage years. Believe it or not, they are releasing a brand new Who album in time for Christmas.
Gentle song, but with savage lyrics.
@@LadyIarConnacht Spot on..
So many great options but I'm confident that Love Reign O'er Me will be an instant 10!
Damn, you two instantly picked up on what makes this song so special. You all are some intelligent listeners.
The Real Me - THE WHO One of the best base lines of all time!
If you want to Keith Moon at his peak, than it's "A Quick One" from The Rock and Roll Circus. No one can touch The Who live when they were in their prime. No one.
@pbr streetgang The Who definitely blew The Stones off the stage at the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus gig, but The Stones version of "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at that show is incredible! Mick Jagger at his finest! If you haven't seen it, you should.
THE WHO is the most attractive live band ever with Moonie and the Ox
Queen is the best band live it's like a fact at this point lmao
Yeah remember that Townshend would WRECK his guitar in live performance!!!
@@eznor5103 Queen can't touch the Who live at their peak.
THANKS AGAIN for not stopping every two minutes in the minute of a transition!
Hey guys Pinball Wizard opens with the fasted strumming ever recorded where all six strings are being strummed. Behind Blue Eyes has killer lyrics.
My Generation next
Andy's face during this song makes me so happy. Great happy facial expressions reacting to the masters, The Who.
the "left mix" section being praised is the bass, the great John Entwistle
Behind blue eyes is a really deep emotional song that obviously was written very carefully. Just please listen. It's about a guy who is frustrated and feels he has to watch what he says and how he acts.
Again, as I commented on the other Who song you played, I saw them as a tripleheader at the Boulder field in the mid 80s. When they sang this song, Roger Daltry was running in place and when they reached a crescendo everyone in the stadium reach the crescendo with them, and were up on our feet and it was such a unifying oneness that we all experienced!
The Real Me next please guys, you won't be disapointed.
Probably the best bass sound on a record ever. Period.
@@zackattack635 I had a favorite until I heard this, I thought that honor went to Frank Zappa's bass run section of the song "Apostrophe"!
John Entwhistles bass makes that song. I could listen to it all day and not get bored.
Agreed. “The Real Me” May be the most powerful song in The Who canon. Do it!
RUclips has an isolated bass track for The Real Me. Incredible.
