@@christinecollins6648 hi Christine. Seen Stones 3 times and front row. Stones in UK next year. I think Who playing not sure yet. I'm David in Bournemouth. Fancy meeting up? Sounds like we are both 58.
I saw them at Derby on the same tour but we had to sit in seats. Also saw them at Buxton in April or May. The best gig I ever went to. I made sure I was right by the stage directly in front of Pete.
Just great. This is the era when you could see a world class act in a ballroom in a hotel. Stadiums were still a good half a dozen years away, with the exception of the Beatles of course. Remember seeing The Nice and the Moody Blues in a hotel near Coventry in 1969 called Chesford Grange. We just paid on the door, no advance booking crap, kids are ripped off right left and centre these days.
Evidently they were light years ahead of their time, to this day many still do not understand them. True precursors of ROCK, NOISE, PUNK, HARD ROCK, ROCK SYMPHONY, OPERA, ETC; ETC; ETC.
@javier3585: So, according to u, there never was and there never will be another band like THE WHO? Iyvho is that what ur saying here? Well, YOU’RE DAMN EFFING RIGHT!!! Despite my loving many other bands there are only two which still matter to me: for the mind it’s Floyd but for physical involvement…for jumping, for pogoing, for fist-pumping, for singing along so loud that I wound up hoarse (even had laryngitis) the next day at work there’s only one other band…thank you Roger, Keith, John and, of course, The Genius…just needed to get a little nostalgic…
in 1966 most Yanks hadn't even heard of the The Who. By then they were a veteran band that had been performing live since they were teenagers. They really kicked ass.
This band is why I fell in love with music. The single best debut album ever. Still love it now. People talk about Beatles and Stones, quite rightly, but The Who said - ahh I see what you're doing there but this is how we do it. No one came or comes near them! Christ they give me tingles even talking about them. I was born in '67 wish I could have seen them back then but then that's where RUclips comes in. Rock On!!
I SAW THEM IN 89 WHEN THEY RECRUITED DRUM MONSTER SIMON PHILLIPS AS THEIR DRUMMER AND THEY SOLD OUT THE LAKEWOOD AMPHITHEATRE IN ATLANTA GA FOR 5 SOLD OUT SHOWS AND I WAS AT THE 3RD SHOW, IT WAS THE FIRST TOUR SINCE THEIR BREAK UP IN 82 AND WHEN TICKETS WENT ON SALE, IT WAS A COMPLETE MAD HOUSE BUT I SAW THEM AND THEY WERE GREAT, I WAS BORN IN JUNE OF 1964
Agreed! I am a professional visual artist. But when I speak of greatness in art I always mention THE WHO my favourite of all time. Im so crazy for this band, too young to have seen Moon. Im an atheist but Love Reign O’er Me is a powerful prayer indeed. The Who have meant so much to me since my friend first introduced me when I was 12 or 13. Im 57 now and still in love with THE WHO.
I was there that performance ,cost 2 shillings to get in . A few months before I had seen the Stones,Nashville teens and the Kinks together at Ipswich Odean ,ticket cost a few shillings and 3 pence wish I had kept it.
I was therewatching in the wings as a support to "The Who" and still have the poster, they were a fill in for The Spencer Davis Group. They played the gig for £350
When you see the who you can see the energy and the drive and ferouciness when they smash there instruments it is why they are the greatest rock band of all time long live the who.
Fascinating it certainly is! I think that's Kitty Lambert lurking in the wings. Can you imagine today, the greatest band in the world playing the Felixtowe Pavilion!!
I just love the sound of the old drum kits no matter who you watch! The Kinks, The Who, The Rollin Stones! Can I go on... Etc etc! Probably because it was miced as one instrument rather than separate ones nowadays!
Yes! Drums don't sound like drums anymore! haha! And with some actual mistakes so its not all perfect. I think it sounds shit when its too spot on digitally! Too many bands use gimmicks! Thats why my band do it the old way! None of this backing track pish
No compressors squeezing the life out of the drums ... I never get why people spend a fortune on drums and then have it put through a compressor to level the volumes and it squeezes any dynamics out of it and sounds like cardboard boxes... back here the drummer had to play well... had to play loud
@@xblood1978 the lowest point in drum sounds IMO was that unbelievably bad gated mid-80s snare sound that sucked the life out of a kit like no other plague. Teflon sounding.
imagine stringing together these five singles in succession: my generation, substitute, a legal matter, the kids are alright and i'm a boy. townshend as a solo british songwriter was only par with one ray davies.
I must have seen them around this time when they played at The Dorothy in Cambridge. Wish I had seen them more. Loved them from the first time I saw them perform "I Can't Explain" on Ready Steady Go! THE greatest group in the world - ever! Townsend is a genius.
Just fantastic. The British Invasion was these guys flying overhead dropping bombs! Love the subtlety of Pete flipping the camera off at the end also 😁
Impossible to put in words what this does to me. Some of - if not the best footage and certainly most intimate. If any cameraperson had dared get that close to Pete in 5 years' time they would've paid dearly!
It was recorded for French TV, and organised by Chris Stamp. They interviewed Kit Lambert, and filmed the band over 2 nights onstage and off....Georgie fame was also on the bill.
Love the Who, especially any of their live stuff from the early 70's. The Rolling Stones released Satisfaction in 1965, Paint It Black in 1966. The Kinks released You Really Got Me in 1964. There was a lot going on back in those days....
THEY WERE RECORDED IN 1972 WHICH MADE IT INTO THE GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS AS THE LOUDEST CONCERT AT 120 DECIBELS, DONT KNOW IF THE RECORD STILL STANDS BUT I BET ITS PLENTY LOUD.
I COULD WATCH THESE OLD SEGMENTS OF THE WHO ALL DAY LONG AND ON SUNDAY, JUST A PURE POWERHOUSE ON THE STAGE AND COULD HAVE BLOWN THE BEATLES OFF OF THE STAGE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK EVEN BACK THEN.
tfmuch They were a force of nature Live at this point. I saw them in '67 too at Kingston Granada. Moon had just got the 'Lily' kit. My ears are still ringing!
+Andy Thomas Me too but at Derby in the May but it was a cinema and just not the same. A tour with the Merseys and the Fruit Eating Bears. It just didn't work, not on a first show at half past six anyway.
+tfmuch At fifteen years of age It was the early years of my concert/gig going. I had no prior expectations then! Admittedly it was different to a club experience, but I had no club experience! The cinema circuit may have been a bit weird but I saw some great bands that I would otherwise have missed out on. The Mojos/The Sorrows/The Spencer Davis Group/The Animals/The Herd/The Hollies/Small Faces and Manfred Man....to name a handful.
+Andy Thomas I was fifteen when I saw them first - at the Dungeon Club in Nottingham in April, 1965. You could get in. There was no bar. Townshend had plastic G-clamps round the neck of his Rick. But there was a lot more attitude on the 66 tour. I saw the Small Faces at the same venue a while afterwards. Marriott got pulled off the stage. He went over, just like that. Ian Mclagen was furious. But it sounds like you did more gig going than I did.
Poorly recorded, but it really illustrates the challenge for Roger: he had 3 of the most talented musicians in the world like a roaring freightrain on his heels, & if he didn't hold his own vocally they would RUN. HIM. OVER. lol. What a band. I'll love them forever for their music, but no doubt that for me part of the appeal of the Who is also the complex personalities of the individuals involved, & how they knit--or failed to knit--themselves together as a band. The story of the Who is almost as good as the music of the Who, & that's saying a lot.
Just as a fun comparison, here's Roger years & many shows later--powerhouse vocals, & living so large on stage he actually outshines even Pete, which is hard to do: ruclips.net/video/oyR3TzIgi-U/видео.html In some ways, 'Tommy' was the making of Pete as a writer & composer, but in the way it allowed Roger to expand on stage & become a bigger more confident performer, it was also the making of Roger.
The date is wrong it's the 9th September and the spelling Is Pier Pavillion. I was the Compere and DJ for the concert. On the poster Spencer Davis Group were booked and The Who stepped in as second choice. The Who were £350, we all played with Daltrey's Scalextrix back at the hotel until the early hours.
@@anthonycoe1019 You wrote that comment regarding the 'Scalextrix' seven yrs ago. You replied two days ago as to what it is. I'm here now acknowledging you. What an experience your life must have been.
Would be the Rose Morris 1997 made specifically for the British market. The 330 had the slash hole instead of the f. Hope you still have that guitar. You would be sitting on a gold mine.
Punk rockers in 1966 in Felixstowe, Suffolk?! Impossible? No ladies and gentlemen cause they were the precursors of 1977...they were, at least, ten years ahead!
Much as I loved The Spencer Davis Group, I'd say 'second choice' was by far and away the best option. It could have been much worse. Imagine having tickets to see Jeff Beck in Cardiff and arriving to find out he had cancelled and Status Quo had stepped in!!!!!
At 7:22, you can just feel the love Pete has for a damn cameraman on the FREAKING STAGE. I guess it was a foretaste of what happened to Abbie Hoffman when he got up on stage at Woodstock. Oops. Kids, don't bother Uncle Pete when he's working.
This band is the reason why I hate rock music from the 70ies onwards. The Who did it so much angrier and more exciting, plus they were real innovators. The Marshall stack wouldn´t have been invented without Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix wouldn´t have happened the way he did...can´t say how much I love these guys. The only group who ever combined pop and REAL rock for me. Aggression, anarchy, and a way of organic playing that was and still is completely unique.
Actually you can thank Keith Moon for the Marshall stack. Entwhistle went to Jim Marshall complaining he couldn't hear over thirty loud drummer....the rest is (deafening!) history.
Nothing past Dec. 31, 1969, eh? I feel sorry for you and all the great rock you missed. You've got an extremely narrow and limited view. Total tunnel vision of the brain!
@@Elias-no9fy WTF are you talking about? The Who were practically the only 60s band that punk rockers respected. They were LOUD and trashed their stuff live. And though they were mostly hard sounding pop, some of their lyrics were about real rebellion.
@@JUNKY33 exactly. it's one of the first if not the first 100 Watt stack, it's is probably worth a quarter million today, who cares about that fucking guitar?
As I understand it's the who, who started all genre of rock music from pop ,hard rock & metal,just I listen these songs , I can see for miles, I won't get fooled again ,young man blues ,my generation,. Not even the stones & Beatles.
How effing original were these boys. Would of loved to have watched these bad boys. The first thing I heard about this band was they smashed their gear up. What a band.
I was born in 1966. 20 years too late. My fav band. Seen them 5 times but too late for Moon.
Same, same!

I saw Moon in '75 also full Led Zep '77, Floyd in '80 all at MSG, but was too young for Hendrix or Duane Allman.
I'm standing next to the pillar on Roger's right. First group I saw after leaving school in July.
Lucky man!
How loud was it?
It was not that loud as I recall. Nowhere near the noise that they were making a few years later.
Slade were louder!
I saw them at Derby on the same tour but we had to sit in seats. Also saw them at Buxton in April or May. The best gig I ever went to. I made sure I was right by the stage directly in front of Pete.

in 1966 most Yanks hadn't even heard of the The Who. By then they were a veteran band that had been performing live since they were teenagers. They really kicked ass.
They honestly started off the Punk AND the heavy metal generations to come. We owe them everything.
And that makes Pete the inventor mastermind of it all. I'm 60 and still never get tired of watching The Who.
1000% Hakan,
100% or even 1000%correct..
As they made it all happen..
They were definitely a massive influence on both genres but the inventor award has to go to The Kinks. Only by a few months though!
Stones, the first punks. Ask Pete.
This band is why I fell in love with music.
The single best debut album ever. Still love it now.
People talk about Beatles and Stones, quite rightly, but The Who said - ahh I see what you're doing there but this is how we do it. No one came or comes near them!

Man, that Rickenbacker sounds great through those early Marshall stacks...
I was so pleased he didn't smash it up! ;)
yeah, ALL THE WAY through the stacks 😉
@@hball6695 Ha! He did impale a few, didn't he?!
Terrific early live footage I’ve not seen before… at the peak of their powers the Who were one of the greatest live acts on the planet.
Somehow, the amateurish and chaotic camerawork perfectly captures the raw energy of music. What a great band.

Simply the Best. We got Keith destroying his Drum set, Pete throwing the Bird and Mad Lads rushing the Stage. All and all a Pretty fine show.
When you see the who you can see the energy and the drive and ferouciness when they smash there instruments it is why they are the greatest rock band of all time long live the who.
The were just so mellow back then.
Ah! I love the smell of speaker cones frying in the morning!
Proud heritage to have the who play at Felixstowe
They put on a good show. Keith Moon at his best, random camera work but a nice piece of rock history.
Miss you, man
I ad just seen ''WILD IN THE STREETS' with ,my Mom at the Joy Show.
Fascinating it certainly is! I think that's Kitty Lambert lurking in the wings. Can you imagine today, the greatest band in the world playing the Felixtowe Pavilion!!
No it's Tony Coe the DJ and compere and Mick Knoller the guitarist of the support band Sullivan James.

Just wish I could time travel and be in Felixstowe on this particular evening back in 1966!
Andy D me too! A time machine would be used to travel to various who shows, most likely over and over, just like I watch them over and over here.....
Rarement un concert de cette époque n'a été aussi bien filmé... Rarement on n'a été aussi proche de cette machine infernale qu'on appelle The Who.
THE WHO ; PURE ANARCHY !! 50 YEARS AGO THOUGH !!!
They did a similar show about the same time in Lisburn NI. Was my first real band experience.life long fan
not seen this one before absolutely brilliant

The bass and drums at the start of Substitute :)))))))
It was the bass what kept it all toghether i think. The others could do anything, it gave them a spine

7:23 Pete Townshend probably the first guy to have the punk attitude in rock
He was (is) a repressed nerd who could throw it all out onstage but also say do not take this too seriously
Glorious

This is an awesome bit of footage. Many thanks for the upload.
