@@isaacshaver6218 Led Zep is a great band, no doubt...but not better than The Who...the difference? Robert Plant is nowhere near the lyricist that Pete Townshend is...
I was at the Pittsburgh PA Concert the might before Cincinnati….The only time that I was at a concert and wasn't High....and right on top of the list of best shows I ever seen...
I got a ticket for the who at the last minute for them at capital centre at the end of this tour. It was great! At the end Pete townsend said a concert had been cancelled up state. And they will be back Monday. . I saw the who twice in four days. It was fantastic.
Underplayed back then on FM, just kept to the script. Greatest Who story told for me! Jam city here, Amazing yr for R&R...if you were 14&me -_-.... impossible not to like this. Big Thanx!
This song is proof that the Kenney Jones era of The Who is damn good. No, they aren't like the Keith Moon era whatsoever, but they could still put on a show. And this is one hell of a good version.
The breakup wasn't Jones' fault. Pete was burned out and needed a break. Daltrey needed to get over his alpha male view of the band. Given the no win situation Jones was in, he did just fine. Just wish he wouldn't play polo with the Royals...
The Who's music just takes you to another dimension.Fascinating artists.I've ways loved them.Saw them twice a few days apart at the Los Angeles Colliseum in 1982 and to be in the front watching Pete fly across the stage during,"Won't Get Fooled Again" as Roger screamed......"Yeahhhhhhh!!!!!" was a high point in my younger years.Roger swinging that mic,John just standing there but his fingers weren't and by the way where is John in this song?I'd rather see him more than that guy playing the keyboards!Lol!!Never saw Keith though he had recently died.Kenney does an excellent job.What a great rock n roll band.Gotta love 'em.
I saw them perform this at the Pontiac Silverdome (Detroit) in '79 and it was the highlight of the entire concert in my opinion. I was truly blown away as this far surpasses the studio version. Incredible concert! Thank you so much for posting this!
This is The Who, recovering from the death of their drummer and brother, falling apart from drug and alcohol abuse and still putting together a performance that is unlike anything they had done before yet still remaining true to the spirit they had at the beginning. I just wish they hadn't pushed the organ up quite so high in the mix as you can't hear the bass-guitar interplay of John and Pete, but oh well, if The Who were consistently perfect they wouldn't be the band I love.
Pete's stuff on Who by Numbers and Who are You I thought was really becoming far and away more musical and complex but beautiful at the same time, Quadro was still great of course.
@@quad5186 It was featured on The Who: 30 Years of Maximum R&B Live video from 1994. The video itself was from 1979 when Kenney Jones was with The Who, even though the song itself was from the Who Are You album in 1978 (Keith Moon's last album with The Who released less than one month before he died. Also, Keith was unable to handle playing the 6/8 drum time required for this song, so Pete Townshend recorded the percussion separately by using his footsteps to walk up and down the recording studio floor, overdubbing them onto the song recording later.)
Peter Felton thanks man ! I haven’t watched that vid in ages ! Remember that they rolled a milk (?) bottle for that sound as well . I have the Who Are You cover promo item ( 4’x4’) on foam board. Been meaning to frame it for 31 years ( it’ll weigh a ton ) , I’m inspired now.
@@quad5186 You're welcome man! Yeah, I too remember that they rolled a milk bottle on the studio recording for Music Must Change. Cool effect! That's awesome that you have the Who Are You cover promo item on foam board! What an artifact! Glad you are inspired!
Townsend is the greatest writer in Rock...His lyrics are so profound...In Prog it's Hammill and Gabriel...But; NOBODY in Rock has written a Quadrophenia or a Tommy as well as the rest of their albums...Pete wrote nearly every Who song...
Look close at Pete's face here and then in photos/videos from 1983 on. Fours years or more on he looks five years younger. Self medicating here big time.
Pete has admitted himself that after the Cincinnati tragedy, his drinking increased tenfold for a few years. And this particular show was only five days after Cincinnati. Yet, speaking as a major Who fan, I think this show is right up there with the best they ever did, with or without Moon. Only my opinion, but they were on fire this night. Chicago REALLY lucked out big time.
@@analogkid4957 The performance is edited on Face Dances. But I was able to find the unedited version on RUclips, with great quality, and I have it downloaded on my pc but the RUclips video is not on RUclips anymore.
My all time favorite band. I have many concert dvds by them including this one and I have to say that during this song Pete looks to be at his absolute worst as far as his appearance. Just seems lost .
read that they don't perform this song any longer because it's bad luck! moon couldn't keep the beat up with this tune in the studio and died shortly after releasing it and entwhistle died in 2022 after a live performance of this song in vegas!!
international ampatherater Chicago back of the yards ...where I grew up . ill never forget this show .the who in rare form this night...they booed Kenney jones that night fuckin shame ...he rocked
That is a total disgrace that he got booed. He should have been cheered for not only for helping keeping The Who together, but also doing a great job being put in a no win situation. And lastly a great drummer in his own right.
As soon as I started this video, a commercial appears!! ! Then, there is a minute of of introduction, the song begins... STOPS, ANOTHER COMMERCIAL.!! ! Pay me to use your product! Just like tv & movie stars get paid to tell me about stuff they don't really use. Bad. Bad. Bad.
He's incredible! Totally amazing. His work on Empty Glass is so beautiful. He seems to self-sabotage career-wise though. Roger had enough of him 10 years ago and gave Rab the boot. I'm not sure what he did wrong exactly, but I think his beautiful playing had to be worth putting up with it!
Greatest rock 'n' roll band of the world.
Ed Jordens Loved the way they'd stretch songs out like this back then. A little past their sell-by date here but still awesome.
Greatest band ever=led zeppelin ; the who can have rock n roll
Agree
#2, Behind The Beatles...
@@isaacshaver6218 Led Zep is a great band, no doubt...but not better than The Who...the difference? Robert Plant is nowhere near the lyricist that Pete Townshend is...
God bless Kenney. He was given an impossible task. But he owned it.
41 years ago today I was there standing on my chair at the International Amphitheatre.
Me too! Tripping on Microdot
This makes the hair on my neck stand up! One of my favorite Who songs.
This is the best song about cheese sandwiches that I've ever heard in my life!
Good music in generic.
Great quote!😄
Hilarious best song I ever heard about cheese sandwiches. Now I can't remember what the rest of the lyrics were about. Lol.
The pure sarcasm in Townshend is palpable. Yet, he plays the guts out of it.
Classic WHO - the in and out power within the song is GREAT.
but always remember, the music MUST change
This is my group! Music burned across my heart.
The middle 8 at 3:29 brings goosebumps. Keith was dead. 11 killed in Cincinnati. You can feel the pain in Pete's voice.
I was at the Pittsburgh PA Concert the might before Cincinnati….The only time that I was at a concert and wasn't High....and right on top of the list of best shows I ever seen...
Great moment in the story of who concerts. Feel inside
Spot on!

The best there ever was or ever will be. That's not to say there haven't been other great acts, but for me - it's the Who.
Jazz with a spin. The spin being the Who!!!
that guitar sounds HEAVY... never saw Pete play it again, boy, what a killer Schecter tele!! that performance is so powerful
Straight Tele... Schecters are all black... and have a distinct pitch...
@@jamesmasch9011 its a schecter
@@jamesmasch9011 who cares what brand it is, what is important is the man pulling the strings.
The brass during the jam after the bridge sounds really good!
Great vocal delivery from Daltrey. Used to have this on VHS back in the 90's.
one of my favorites, Roger´s voice was incredible
thanks for upload

+Bret Bailey I think is a good era but their worst era too but still pretty good i give it an 8
This particular show is a 10+.
keith couldn't drum to this song but Kenny could
Bret Bailey Amen.
The breakup wasn't Jones' fault. Pete was burned out and needed a break. Daltrey needed to get over his alpha male view of the band.
Given the no win situation Jones was in, he did just fine. Just wish he wouldn't play polo with the Royals...

John is there, in the shadows but there........
The Fabulous RABBIT BUNDRICK on keyboards/synth!!
Happy birthday, Pete!!
PT the greatest composer of middle 8s in rock history
Nice bit of Music from the Mighty WHO.

One of their best songs. So overlooked.
I saw all five shows at MSG that September. First shows back without Moon sure were emotional. This is a fantastic clip. Thanks so much for sharing!
september of 1979 after a cancellation of the original dates
due to the death of moon!
Feliz cumpleeeee Pete !!! Te amo chabón, sos el más grandeee !!
Mister Henry David Pipe thanks for uploading music artists.

Nice looking Tele'
Pete was using Schecter guitars by this time, which looked like Fenders.
This is much better than the studio version released on Who Are You IMO.

Wow!!!!
I so hope they resurrect this for 2019 tour with the orchestra
One Month Away, Buffalo, NY...….
When I hear the cold lies of the pusher, I know it exists. Its confirmed in the eyes of the kids, emphasised with their fists.
Middle eight is brilliant and Daltrey vocal delivery is ace
Nice Tele!
" A song about....cheese sandwiches" ~ Pete Townshend.

Pete... SMASH!
Looks like Simon Phillips on drums...A beast in his own right..

So true and the fact that he is wearing that horrible blue sweater... he looks like he was just on a bender and go out of bed.

Definitely looks half in the basket. Still,I love The Who as well.
yup. Lucky he didn't end up like Keith...
epic
Was at this show
Nice remaster full screen
Bundrick killing it.
HaoleboySurfEC Rabbit was almost as fucked up as Pete during this period. He could play though!
4:27-7:30 that foot stomping thing for over 3 minutes
Cheese sandwiches 🥪 😂 good tune
