John Entwistle's bass sound is absolutely immense.. so powerful as to be able to cover for much of Pete's troubles in this performance that would ruin any other band's performance. On another note, this is probably the tightest I've seen/heard Keith with this song.
It's interesting, most of the time you see footage or pics from 73, Keith has that full second row of drums that he added, so this must be in early 73 as he's playing the same set up he'd used up until this point. I wish there was more live footage of them from 71 and 72, plenty of audio but not much film footage. Well at least we have shows like this, the less famous stuff that's still as great as their more famous gigs.
@@Alan-d4n My favorite rock drummer - not only a power-drummer, but a finesse drummer with a very unique and amazing sound that is all his own..(tick...tick...tick...just waiting for the Zep fans that troll the Who videos to put me in my place)
@@harrykadaras9459 Agreed. Moonie played with such dynamics which gets little attention. He was such an orchestral drummer painting a beautiful picture on the drums like no other.
Possibly not the best mix, but a great performance none the less. As Sun Cat suggests, with Keith, it always seemed like everything was going to fall off the rails. That was part of the reason THE WHO were/are the best live band ever. Good to see this.
As a fan who had only seen the Kilburn and Shepperton versions of this song live, this is such a treat. Huge reason being: MOON is actually playing well. I also love that Townshend is playing an SG. Would never expect that. I like the different sound. That's what the live version is for. This was the first band I got into as a kid. Such a unique one. Thank you for posting Wolfman.
Also it's noteworthy how new it was to play along with pre-recorded accompaniment (regular occurrence today, I've been at rap concerts where the performer was literally yelling over the original track, vocals and all), let alone one of a synthesizer. The band sounds tame, almost tentative having to play along with it. Not only was it new, it was unheard of. And it was a task for the least likely of drummers. But it actually wrangles Moon and forces him to play in time and he sounds heavier, more on point. I also love that it's a non/pre-metal song with a scream written into it
@ BubbaZen10 It's called a near lethal combination of brandy, amphetamines, and probably tranquilizers of some sort, but yeah, you're right, it IS joyous and scary LOL
I never heard Townsend play this song on an SG before. It sounds thin compared to when he played this song on a Les Paul. It could just be the way it was recorded, of course. I could barely hear Entwistle which almost never happens (or should happen) on these videos of The Who.
It's definitely a bad mix. I personally prefer Pete's SG sounds to anything he ever got from the LP (IMHO the LP's have much less articulation) but this is not a good sound setup at some stage in the chain.
@@lapelcelery42 I may be wrong, but I think they were using an in-house PA for this gig that was no match for what they were used to. Pete's Hiwatt backline would normally be cranked to the point where it broke up naturally, but here it sounds like it's barely on.
We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song
Studio version he used a Gretsch Chet Akins style guitar. After this concert (shortly after) he used a Gibson Les Paul for almost the remainder of the '70s. Mixed in Schecter's Tele style guitars starting in '79.
Nope, March 10th, 1973. BTW, this was likely the last show Moon played with this kit. The Quad kit (with the concert toms) didn't appear live until the first Quad shows in the fall of 1973.
It doesn't sound like a Tbird on this one, weak fundamental and lack of sustain here. I have a Gibby Tbird and whatever he's playing here doesn't sound like it.
A n awful performance....and that's why we love 'em. They're either terrible or the greatest rock band on the planet. I was there in Manchester 1973. The greatest rock band I've ever seen. I was privileged.
Townshend seems unhappy with the way things are going through this entire concert. Something's wrong with the chemistry that night. A pity that of all concerts of 1972/early 1973 (the Who's Next / Quodrophenia transition period), this is the one we have good video of. Hopefully Paris 1972 or more of the Stockholm concert (there's a short clip on youtube) will still turn up some day.
Looking closely at Pete, it looked like he couldn't get the volume up to where the rest of the band was playing? in a couple of songs he looked like he was telling them to turn up the volume and they wouldn't or couldn't and that might have caused him to shut himself down a little (?) as Pete is in need of his Power-Cords to be happy? the sound seem way down to me?
Just a note to anyone who thinks this is a sub par Who show. This show was not part of a tour. They had last played January 13th. This was march 10th. Pete may have drank too much. So what. I still love the drive Keith and John played with and Roger is great as usual. Sub par Who is still fucking great.
fuck, as much as i love keith moon, his drums are making me feel genuinely anxious. sounds as if the whole song is going to fall apart if he misses one beat. he's basically just playing a drum solo throughout the whole song.
+Stig10001 As MY drummer said so succinctly when I said neither he nor Keith Moon had any drum solos, he replied, "He's doing a drum solo for pretty much the whole song." We stick closer to Cosmos Clifford and reggae beats
+Alan Donnet you can look him up on google images. he also wrestles for BTW(Big Time Wrestling) as Mr. TA. Learned how to play listening to CCR's Cosmos Factory. Hits PREETTTTTY hard. 4 piece, high hat, ride, crash. That's all ya need for us.
Spot on. His guitar is really in bad shape volume wise. Had it been, this would be off the charts a hot DVD to be released. I agree with some other posts that it's still awesome because you can hear Moonie and Entwistle very well. Especially Moonie, because there are plenty of show that have his volume too low.
I agree Petes tone is a lil weak on this, But damn! Listen to Keith and John...I think they could propel this tune w Pete on a 20 watt practice amp! Killer post!
Pete seems disengaged...like he's pissed off or upset about something. However...I like his "less is more" guitar playing in this performance. I do get a bit tired of the expected power chords in this song. As often as the Who stretched out and improvised on their songs, they always played this one pretty much the same every time. I like hearing the song with Pete, even if distracted, distraught, or disgusted, actually playing the song as if it's new and ripe for playing around with.
Keith Moon by far the best drummer of the three ----------------- Townsend, arguably the best lead guitarist of the three ------------------- Entwistle, the best bass player of the three ------------------------ it's difficult to choose Daltry over Jagger, but, I cant tire of Daltry's voice, though Jagger was probably the better front man. ---------------------The writing capablities of the Beatles, goes unmatched …………………………………. yes, The Who are a plausable arguement as being the best of the three bands…………………………..

I know its a sin to say this, but I've always been bored by the Beatles writing. I think The Who's writing is a lot more complex and fun, and unique. Thats just me though, music is completely subjective so who cares

I dont get it, the guitar sound on the studio version is f-ing fat and just great, he could not duplicate it live. Maybe he used the wrong distortion box?
ik was bij dat concert, het werd een popgala genoemd, duurde 2 dagen en ja ze waren slecht, veel pauses, veel slecht samenspel enz. Het gerucht ging dat ze 1 jaar niet hadden samengespeeld dus voor het geld gekomen waren, zag ze daarvoor in de oude rai in amsterdam, beste concert ooit.
Pete was having major problems with his Specials this whole show, they were constantly coming out of tune, also when Pete was trying to tune the band would start a song. He was pissed this whole show. The soundboard mix is poor also.
Not the best performance by The Who, Pete was drunk as fuck, Roger's voice was a bit fucked up and his scream was a bit off, only John Entwistle was powerfull, and Keith was just, well-being Keith. If you're gonna love a band, you have to hear the good and the bad live performances, this one wasn't that good.
LeToplache007 indeed but credit to that monstrous rhythm section, Entwistle and Moon covering for Pete so well in this performance the song seems almost intact and just as powerful even with an out of tune and minimal guitar

His real name is Barnard Glassberg. Why lie? He is a multimillionaire that made all his MILLIONS where? DOING NOTHING. ALL OFF THE TAXPAYERS!!! HE VOTED HIMSELF RAISES ALMOST EVERY YEAR!!! He does deals with Wall Street and has an investor, and then turns around and calls them crooks!!??? At least they go to work and pay themselves!!! Glassberg just destroys the middle class by making US PAY FOR ALL THE LOSERS to sit on the couch!! SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR ALL THIS "FREE" stuff! He wants a 90% tax rate. That means you make $500 a week, then you take home $50!!! See!!?? That's how he is proposing to pay for all his "free" stuff!!! Why not let people be free and pay for what they want for themselves?????????? WAKE UP.
Pete never could play this live properly. it just does not stand up to the studio recording he's missing most of the parts. I hate to say it. plus his guitar tone is miserable. he's out of tune, his volume is low and he's not achieving nearly enough distortion to even approximate the record. not sure what went wrong something went horribly wrong. that being said the rest of the band sounded great.
All the "They''re the best, no they're the best"---- we were bombarded with challenging music constantly. Never to happen again.
John Entwistle's bass sound is absolutely immense.. so powerful as to be able to cover for much of Pete's troubles in this performance that would ruin any other band's performance.

Amen!… The crowd's didn't call John Entwistle " Thunder Fingers " for nothing.

Lucky to see Who twice. But after the great Keith Moon passed away. God bless his soul. He must have been a blast being around. Fantastic drummer
This is a gem. Never sounded so close to the energy of the studio recording.
1971 Young Vic is even closer
@@harrykadaras9459It is indeed! The drum sound of that time was his best ever.

I know I'm going to get a lot of backlash from my comment,but I always thought The Who was better than The Stones or Beatles.My opinion,that's it.
I guess it's a comparison of apples, oranges, and grapefruit or somethin'. I loved 'em all.
Fully agree. Both live and in the studio.
Yeah, that's about it, but hey, no problem; I love 'em all.
Entwistle was right: The Beatles & Stones made better records, but The Who could've blown them off the stage.
Honestly? It's not even close. The Who were the best of the best.
As a fan who had only seen the Kilburn and Shepperton versions of this song live, this is such a treat. Huge reason being: MOON is actually playing well. I also love that Townshend is playing an SG. Would never expect that. I like the different sound. That's what the live version is for. This was the first band I got into as a kid. Such a unique one. Thank you for posting Wolfman.
Who never the same after Keith passed. Still great band. But Keith was one of a kind.
Good catch. This is definitely '72. Townshend playing a white SG & Moon playing a smaller than Quad drum kit.
Moon gets cooking after 6:47.
How do the Who rock so tight in this Long crazy high energy song like this ???? Fucking amazing ?? WTF ??
Also it's noteworthy how new it was to play along with pre-recorded accompaniment (regular occurrence today, I've been at rap concerts where the performer was literally yelling over the original track, vocals and all), let alone one of a synthesizer. The band sounds tame, almost tentative having to play along with it. Not only was it new, it was unheard of. And it was a task for the least likely of drummers. But it actually wrangles Moon and forces him to play in time and he sounds heavier, more on point. I also love that it's a non/pre-metal song with a scream written into it
The look in Keith's eye at 9:20 is joyous and scary.
@ BubbaZen10 It's called a near lethal combination of brandy, amphetamines, and probably tranquilizers of some sort, but yeah, you're right, it IS joyous and scary LOL
Vocal is flawless!!

He used a Gretsch 6120 for the recording.
Pete used the SG more than 3 times when doing Won't Get Fooled Again
He used it in all of 1971 in Young Vic and Civic Auditorium San Francisco 1971

Not sure that it was his worst!
That happy lick had a mind of its own...
Those three kickdrum beats give me chills every time I hear them. Goodbye, Who - You guys kicked so much ass for so long. Enjoy retirement.
It is one of my favorite sounds.
Wow - never saw this one before. It's good.
Man, it just sounded so much meatier and more biting when he switched to the Les Pauls.
Never realised this was originally recorded with an SG P90S

It's the Fenderbird - you can see it clearly at the very end (around 9:44)
