A drum teacher said this was the toughest song for any drummer to try to keep up with cuz Keith Moon is god-given ambidextrous with all four limbs moving independently so he's faster than anyone ever and he goes back and forth from left to right and right to left like nobody else can or will ever do
Trapeze in their prime was probably the best band ever live. SRV best singular performer. Rush of next era is best live band I saw, and I saw many. Including The Who, who weren't in their prime and an outdoor football stadium in Dallas on a 100 degree day with terrible acoustics. They drank more than the thirsty audience, so it was a brief show. Not fair, as I bet seeing The Who in a small club in SOHO in London was probably a religious experience.
@@Greg-io1ip Pink Floyd, I saw them twice in the 70s and saw them do Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and Animals in their entirety, they encored with Echoes the first time. They and the original WHO and Black Sabbath were the best I ever saw, I saw SRV several times, he is in my top 20, David Gilmour was by far the best I ever saw. Tony Iommi was the most powerful. You have to remember there are so many great guitarists and bands, my top 20 has about 30 other bands that I like almost as much just outside. Music was so fun back then...
Getty Lee from Rush once said if he was stranded on a Deserted island and only had a record player and three albums he could play Who’s Next would be one of them
We were posting same thing same time. I'm pretty sure Farewell To Kings is Geddy and Peart 's homage to The Who. Which I don't believe Airplay Beats has broached that perfect album yet (Farewell To Kings).
Keith Moon playing "lead drums", Pete Townshend playing lead guitar, John Entwistle playing lead bass and Roger Daltrey lead vocals. IMO, never better in the studio than on WHO'S NEXT and QUADROPHENIA.
Who's Next is one of few nearly perfect Rock albums. Keith's playing added great drama. Led Zep II, and Yes Close to the Edge are others. Non Rock near perfection: Heavy Weather by Weather Report and The Romantic Warrior by Return to Forever. Happy listening!
Steve Winwood Arc of A Diver, Icehouse by Icehouse, Zenyatta Mendatta (spell check!) by Police...lots of less prominent perfect albums. But this Who album is pretty stellar by a legit heavyweight. Has everything. I'm positive Geddy and Peart did Farewell To Kings in honor of The Who.
Townshend was an early adopter of synthesizers mixed with his power chords on guitar, and on 'Bargain', he used a new one: the ARP 2500 synthesizer on "Who's Next". The relentless power of the drumming by Keith Moon, the killer bass of John Entwistle together with one of the best frontman ever in Roger Daltrey made that album one of the best ever made. Not a bad song on the entire album. Everyone played lead, and thought they were the best. Great band live - saw them twice in the 70s.
You are so lucky to see them in the 70's !! My son and I saw the current tour last year, while a much lesser tour, I was glad my sone got to see them, and while only 2 original members, it was a great show (70 yr olds out rocking current folks)
You nailed it, he's able to play fills for the whole song, yet there is a background beat of sorts , maybe our minds know why this is such a badass song, it's on a level higher than most.
Geddy Lee's favorite album. Can't argue with Geddy! Early Who is lost in all the greatness but it's timeless. Pete Townshend is a genius. I was hooked on this album for a year of my life. It's good all the way both sides.
You guys need to see them. Check out footage of them at the Isle of white in '70. I Don't Even Know Myself is a personal favourite, with great footage of Moon the loon on drums!
Ah, an anthem from my 70's days! Driving in a Chevy Nova, with the ol' Jensen Triaxial speakers and a cassette deck, blasting the Who or Led Zep or Lynyrd Skynyrd or whatever else!
Totally underrated song. Absolutely amazing track. You guys are doing a great job. I can see you both truly like The Who. Shows you have great taste in music.
There is only a handful of foundational, influential bands from the 70s, The Who are certainly one of them, along with other bands like Zep, Deep Purple, Floyd, Sabbath, etc. Pete Townshend is a raving genius. His rock operas set the standard for concept albums: Quadrophenia and Tommy. Pure, unapologetic genius. I can't say enough. You should also look into his solo music, such albums as Empty Glass and White City: A Novel. Great stuff.
Being a bassist myself, my two favorite bass players when I was a teenager were Entwistle and John Paul Jones. Now I’m in my 60’s and still love those guys.
I’ve always loved this song. It gets overshadowed by Babba and Won’t Get Fooled. I’ve played this album 100’s of times in my life and I always look forward to this song. The use of the word “bargain” is so unique.
John Entwhistle, bassist, so under rated. His nick names, THE OX, and Twinkle fingers, ( cuz he would often play high on the neck of bass) Entwhistle, probably only bassist to catch Crazy ass Keith Moons drum fills. Must be like catching a high fly egg, at the fence, with out breaking it,! You gentlemen are killing it with reactions. Thank you!
This entire album is just ridiculously fantastic. But I always thought "Bargain" had a really weird kind of atmospheric quality to it----the reverb, the guitar volume swells for the intro, the acoustic guitar, and the little electric guitar licks. the drawn out chords and Keith's drum fills, the tempo changes and the build up to the end...and I love all of it...
A very sspirutual song. I encountered this about the time I first started reading the Bible and coming to Jesus. I know Townsend isn't Christian, but this song spoke to me at that time.
That`s a great song and...what a great album ! For me the best they ever made. Thanks for sharing this period of a fantastic band. Best regards @all from hamburg (germany)
Keith Moon is awesome but need to give respect to their engineer Glyn Johns who played a key role in getting the massive drum sounds on the album. "I'd gladly lose me to find you" and much of the rest of the lyrics are Townshend's version of the teachings of his guru Meher Baba, the namesake of "Baba O'Riley" (along with composer Terry Riley, the model for most of the keyboards on Who's Next.)
Great album. Love seeing live Who videos in the Keith Moon era - truly a madman - it was Bonham of Zepplin or Keith Moon - I was a Moon guy. If you were a kid guitar player in the 70s and you wanted to sound like Cream or the Allman Brothers - you bought Marshall stacks - if you wanted to sound like the Who - Hiwatt amps. Love seeing the Hiwatts in the videos.
The imitable Keith 'moon The loon' Moon, on lead drums. All 4 members were like co-leads in The Who, according to Pete Townshend. This is my fave Who album...'Who's Next'
Just as “I can see for Miles “ was a jump up from their pop phase 1964-67 this album Who’s Next was another leap from the Tommy/Woodstock era. This is one of the most tightly wound and cleanly produced records by anyone at any time.
Always been one of my favorite Who songs… the Moon is shining here. Great reaction too. I don’t think people realize how hard it is to do a song justice off just one listen. 👏
Yes indeed, you guys need to do the whole album, it is a 9 alarm fire for sure! The expanded version has great bonus songs from that era as well. Can't wait for My Wife, a studio classic featuring John Entwhistle, great song that exploded live. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Great choice. This whole album is a must-have in any collection of Classic Rock. Also check out The Who Live At Leeds. One of the greatest live albums ever recorded.
"Who Are You" is also Great"...! "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..."
you boys are right on as usual.....a quick story, basicly the who, hendrix and janis joplin were introduced to america at the monterey pop festival in 1967. the who and hendrix haggled over who would play last trying to out do each other...i urge you guys to look at footage of that festival....the american audience had never seen anything like it before, a true memorable time in rock history to say the least!!!
If such a thing as a perfect album exists, this is it. Entwistle is HUGE on this track.
Probably one of the best 5 albums of the 70s.
@@indycarcomplainer2304 Definitely.
Totally agree!!!!
Agreed !!! Every song is a classic !
you find the bass being prevalent ???? seriously
This whole album is fire…
Took the words right outa my mouth Tim
A drum teacher said this was the toughest song for any drummer to try to keep up with cuz Keith Moon is god-given ambidextrous with all four limbs moving independently so he's faster than anyone ever and he goes back and forth from left to right and right to left like nobody else can or will ever do
The Who in their prime! They were the best live band during this time.

Live at Leeds, My Generation jam is all the evidence I need. 🎸

London Coliseum 1969, Tanglewood 1970. Holy fucking shit! 🎸💥
One of the best drummers in my opinion, terrific band all around 👍
Oh yes and I think the unsung drum masterpiece is behind blue eyes . Some of my favorite drum parts !!
I'm 67.........................from my favorite album of all time. "Behind Blue Eyes" is another gem.
John Entwhistle on bass is a BEAST
My Bass guitar inspiration!
Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Who’s Next are 3 of the greatest rock albums ever made. Every song is killer.
Absolutely agree. Love every bit of Quadrophenia! Wish it got more attention.
Getty Lee from Rush once said if he was stranded on a Deserted island and only had a record player and three albums he could play Who’s Next would be one of them

A great start to another Saturday. Just my opinion. This is the Who's best album. As always fellas great reaction. Much appreciated 🙏
2nd best. Quadrophenia is their best
Odds and Sods #2, although I know just a collection...
IMHO… the best rock album ever
Arguably the best rock album ever. Its as perfect as you can get
Moon's double bass work in this song is absolutely the stuff of legend.
My Generation Medley Live at Leeds. ...17mins of FIRE
This lp is one of the great lps. It capped off the 60s and pointed the way forward for the 70s.
Who's Next is one of few nearly perfect Rock albums. Keith's playing added great drama. Led Zep II, and Yes Close to the Edge are others. Non Rock near perfection: Heavy Weather by Weather Report and The Romantic Warrior by Return to Forever. Happy listening!

Moon doing fills the whole song, but yet it never feels like he is overplaying and doesn't take from the song. He is a beast!
Playing circles around it.
You nailed it, he's able to play fills for the whole song, yet there is a background beat of sorts , maybe our minds know why this is such a badass song, it's on a level higher than most.
One of the greatest albums ever made. Every single song is smoking.
Top Shelf Album , gentlemen .
More , please .
Keith's drumming is both bizarre and amazing....wow
Greatest Rock Band Ever
Keith Moon gives a stellar stellar stellar performance on this.
Geddy Lee's favorite album. Can't argue with Geddy! Early Who is lost in all the greatness but it's timeless. Pete Townshend is a genius. I was hooked on this album for a year of my life. It's good all the way both sides.
This is a banger.
This whole album is great for a road trip. From beginning to end ...👍
The whole album Who's Next is the stuff
You guys need to see them. Check out footage of them at the Isle of white in '70. I Don't Even Know Myself is a personal favourite, with great footage of Moon the loon on drums!
Live at Isle of Wight is my favorite - I think it’s even better than Live at Leeds.
I Don’t Know Myself is a great song, Pure and Easy another, not sure why they weren’t on the album actually
Ah, an anthem from my 70's days! Driving in a Chevy Nova, with the ol' Jensen Triaxial speakers and a cassette deck, blasting the Who or Led Zep or Lynyrd Skynyrd or whatever else!
You nailed. Jensens tri-ax's and a cassette deck. Blasting down the road with the windows rolled down. Blaring out the Who or Zep. Great times.
Pete Townsend's Empty Glass is a perfect album as well. Pete Townshend is a genius. I say it often. But not often enough.
With Keith and John as the rhythm section, The Who could jam as well as any three piece band.
The Who had one of the top 3 greatest drummers in rock, and the GREATEST bassist, the Ox!
This is some of Keith Moon's best work, period, hands down, some of the best drumming he ever did.
This entire album needs a review by you gentlemen. Great reaction as usual. ✌🏼❤
One of the finest closures to a song.
I sit lookin' round
I look at my face in the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing
Without you
Great reaction gentlemen as usual 👏
LOVE this song!! The Who are incredible. Love Reign Oer Me still gives me goosebumps.
Another great song from The best rock album there ever was or will be in WHO’S NEXT! You will want to react to This Song is Over from the same album.
On the album, Bargain just FLOWS into the next song.....
All truly good music will always sound current. The 79s ruled!
My favorite Keith Moon song, his feet on the double bass drums are incredible.
The DRUMS! He keeps time and plays lead.
Keith Moon was always someone to emulate.
Well drumming, not lifestyle ;)
Great reaction guys.
One BAD ASS BAND! That's it.
I recommend this entire album!
Yes, another track from this classic, perfect album.
This is the best album of all time
One of those flawless albums.

Great song guys, one of my favorites by the Who.
Not sure if you guys have done these, but "Join Together" and "5:15" are two more excellent songs from The Who.
Yes!!! Two of my favorites.
Being a bassist myself, my two favorite bass players when I was a teenager were Entwistle and John Paul Jones. Now I’m in my 60’s and still love those guys.
My favorite Who album and one of my favorite songs. KEITH!!🔥 And that bass!
This is as classic hard rock as classic hard rock gets. Thanks for reacting to this!

Sorry mate NO Twinkle Fingers desscribes John Entwistle. THUNDER FINGERS ...YES!
I thought it was thunder fingers
Perfect album. This album never leaves my playlists.
One of my favorites on an album full of them...
One of the greatest outros ever!
Classic album
Keith Moon was a monster. Best drummer to ever live.
Moon and Entwistle are neck and neck with Bonham and JPJ just different.
Once again..I'd forgotten how good this song was , thanks, men!
This song is better than current music.
Aside from this album just being great,
Look at the cover
It’s hilarious who’s next ?
Always cracks me up
The BLoody WHO

in 1971 there were many epic rock releases. This album is essential classic rock, and stands up to anyone's best work.
This is really high on my list of Who favorites and always has been. Keith was playing lead drums on this!
That`s a great song and...what a great album ! For me the best they ever made. Thanks for sharing this period of a fantastic band. Best regards @all from hamburg (germany)
This album is a stone cold classic from start to finish.
This song rocks....❤❤❤❤
Moon's drumming is fantastic.
One of their very best imo

This album was on everyone's 8 track player when i was in high school. This was my jams.
Those Keith Moon fills are just magical...and to know he can trash the living heck out of a Holiday Inn is gravy on top! 😄

the Who , the Greatest Rock band ever and Entwistle was among the top5 bass players
