Yeah, the one thing that bothers me about the Who is that this song, which is so great, really features the keyboard, and nobody ever really gets credit for it. We ALL know the Who as the four people you mention, but in this song, it's the un-named keyboardist backstage that really drives this home!
The “keyboard” sound that kicks it off and stays there in the background… that’s a recording which Peter Townsend made on a Lowrey organ using the ‘marimba’ repeat setting. The violin was played by Dave Arbus from the band East of Eden. Keith Moon called him in from the studio next door. When they played live, Roger Daltrey played harmonica instead of the violin.
@@fretless05 Pete Townshend who wrote most of the songs himself in demo form before bringing them to the band to make magic had one of the first synthesisers which were massive bits of kit. The layers were patched in via cables from a lowery keyboard which was painstaking. When playing live they used tape for the synths which moonie had no problem playing along with. Hence big headphones taped to his head. As new technology normally is, sometimes the tape machine broke which could be a nightmare live. In recent decades synths could produce the sounds manually but in the early 70s it wasn't possible. Credit goes to the legend that is Pete not some synth session player. This is why the Who are of legend.😉 Quadrophenia album released 1974 was a big issue live because of this.
The CSI shows all used the who songs for their theme tunes. CSI Vegas-who are you CSI miami-won't get fooled again CSI NY- Baba O'Reilly CSI cyber-i can see for miles.
Roger Daltrey started a foundation for teens with cancer. Part of what they do is set up areas in hospitals to give them place where they can go and just be teens video games and other things just for teens.
They are my favourite band too. Have been since i was a teenager…early 80s. Each member of The Who is a GOAT. Collectively they are even greater. And they speak to the fears and trials we meet as young people. Great reaction from you both. I like seeing your confidence in describing music grow. More Who please. Julia
Ya'll need to hear some more The Who, they are one of those iconic super-bands that only made timeless songs. Their song Won't Get Fooled Again is a great one you could check out.
Saw them live in 75 and they tore it up. We were in a Teenage Wasteland 😎The Who has a movie named Tommy about a pinball wizard, they all star in it with Elton John, Tina Turner and others it's so good.
The Who is a well-respected, popular band, yet my opinion is that even with that they are still underrated. Keith Moon, their drummer, was certifiable. he joined the band with no background or experience in playing drums, so self-taught from his beginning with them. From there, freed from conventional norms of drumming, Keith turned what HAD been solely a percussive instrument, an instrument usually used to set tempo, into a LEAD instrument. Keith elevated drums to something on par with any other traditional instrument in a band. Genius. RIP to a man who never recognized a 'no'.
He was that good even Ringo from the beatles got him to teach his son Zak Starkey who played with Oasis for a short time, but mainly The Who in more recent years. Says it all.
You gotta check out *_The Who -"Young mans blues" Live at leads_* video, it's on RUclips. It's a juiced up Blues cover, or as I call it, the great grand-daddy of heavy metal. Chur from NZ. 🤘😁
Pete Townsend wrote used the name Baba O'Riley as an homage to a musician Terry Riley who he admired. The Teenage wasteland reference is to two concerts - one in the UK where concert goers left rubbish everywhere........the 2nd is to the fact that so many kids got wasted at Woodstock and 20 ended up with brain damage. It is a warning song.
If u really want to hear the talent of (the late) Keith Moon on drums, listen to The Who's live album 'Live at Leeds' from 1970 🔥🔥🤘🤘Their studio records didn't capture the barrage that he could unleash on the drum kit during live performances. Moon is the only drummer in music history who detonated his drum kit in a TV performance.
At the time this was originally released...( yes they're British)...in the U.S....the " Exodus was kids leaving home to hitch hike to Los Angeles, and San Francisco...by the hundreds to thousands daily over about a year or two...it was very relatable both here and in Europe.
I feel like you need to see The Who perform live (in a video) to get the true power of the band. Roger belting out the vocals while Pete goes nutz on guitar and John is stoic on bass....and yeah, Keith DESTROYING the drums!!!! Their recorded music is fine, but watching them tear up a stage is the only real way to appreciate them.
Great song. U gotta check out Love Reign O'er me by the who. It will blow your mind. The power in Rogers vocals. The other obvious one to do is won't get fooled again. Check out the video too for that.👍
Fun fact: The Who and Deep Purple are considered the loudest live bands ever. They have the highest decibel count of any band or artist. So loud that people in the crowd would sometimes fall unconscious
@@subway5907 Nope, actually there is no longer a Guinness world record for loudest band due to fear of promoting hearing loss. But Blue Cheer was the very first band to hold the title. Then came Deep Purple at 117 db, Then The Who knocked them out at 126 db. Then Manowar took the top spot and then Guinness stopped the record. Motorhead then was recorded at 130 db and were dubbed 'the loudest band on Earth'
Keith Moon was the king of all rock star hotel room destroyers. He once destroyed 3 hotel rooms at once. His room had a big water bed and he and his crew were trying to lift the mattress out of the frame so they could put it on an elevator and send it to a floor full of American tourists; however, the mattress split and filled the room with water. Then water then flowed to the room below and filled it, and then down to the room on the floor below that.
My favourite story is how he first met Oliver Reed his drinking buddy and the one where he drove a rolls Royce into a hotel reception. There's so many rock n roll stories it's unbelievable. They reckon only Jon Entwistle 'the ox' could keep up with him from the band. RIP to them both.❤
"Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Love Reign O'er Me" are both must-listen songs by the Who. Also, in addition to Keith Moon, one of the best rock drummers of all time, and Roger Daltrey, one of the greatest singers, the Who also had one of the best---if not THE best---bassists of all time in John Entwistle---"The Real Me" is good example of what he could do.
Yes you're reacting to The Who!! Saw them a few years ago at Fenway, they had Zak Starkey on drums. Awesome show with a wonderful lady violinist for Baba O'Riley. These old dudes still rock it out!
You want to listen to the who live at Isle of Wight singing young man blues (watch the video) and see moon the loon at work. This was them at the peak of their powers a must watch
Keith Moon, one of the best rock drummers that ever picked up two sticks, he had the nickname "Mad" Moon, to see how he got that name you really must see a video of the Who playing, you will soon see how he got the name!
This song written by Pete Townshend of the Who has roots in Woodstock. Its another song that speaks of the that experience. This is about the teens strung out on acid at Woodstock including the 20 teens who were brain damaged as a result of the acid trip at Woodstock. Melanie's song is about how the rain brought those attending Woodstock together and that many were holding candles during the rain and the impression those burning candles made upon her. Melanie's song is called "Lay Down" with subtitle "Candles in the Rain". Joni Mitchell also wrote a song about her experiences at Woodstock that she gave to David Crosby of Crosby, Still, Nash and Young to record. That song is simply called Woodstock. I didn't write any songs about Woodstock as I couldn't attend as I was serving aboard the U.S.S. Sylvania which was as sea during Woodstock.
Funny story about The Who. I live in NC and when my brother and I were little my parent's went to TN to see The Who in concert. We spent the night with a friend of our's, but my brother thought my parent's moved away and left us. He went to school the next morning and told his teacher they moved to TN and left us behind. They called CPS. Needless to say my parent's weren't very happy.
If you watch the live recording you can see just how talented and how much fun they had doing this song. Keith moon used to duck tape his head phones to his head because he played so actively.
Listen to the Real Me from Quadrophenia. It is probably the best bass playing you’ll ever hear. The Who were amazing musicians and can’t be beat. The best TRUE rock band coming out of the 60s and 70s. They lived it.
I definitely recommend checking out their “rock operas” The Who’s Tommy and Quadrophenia-just like I would recommend checking out the film for Pink Floyd’s The Wall, I recommend watching their respective films as well. “Pinball wizard” and “love, reign o’er me” are of course the go-to songs
I remember hearing this album for the first time in the early 70s when it came out. It's a classic, every track is brilliant, this is the first cut, listen in order is my reco. Add 'Pure and Easy', which was also destined for the 'Life House' project, it follows naturally from 'Song is Over'. Saw them in '75, one of the all-time great rock acts.
I grew up on British Rock and The Who are one of the best to have done it. If you ever get time you should watch them live at the isle of wight in 1970. It's unreal. Keith Moon is the GOAT of drummers.
Love The Who. I remember as a kid calling the radio station to get them to play this song always asking for the incorrect name. Teenage Wasteland is not the name...lol...it's Baba O'Riley
This is actually one of my favorite from the who! Thanks for the reaction...appreciate it...glad you all appreciate music from 50 years ago...it still resonates!
The live version from Shepperton Studios(1978), is hilarious and just straight ass rock n roll. Pete Townsend dancing around the stage, doing an Irish jig.
WOW!! I have heard this song ...even a lot for years on the radio driving etc..but this time it was different with both of you .I have to say I actually appreciate when you pause it and explain your thoughts about what your hearing . Its too cool how you break it down like you do ! So that being said experiencing this song with you both in that way....it made me smile the whole time too😁😁😁😁😁 These are so really fun reactions definitely! Thank you for the effort for the content you put out also once again
Pearl Jam does an incredible cover of this tune. Eddie is a big fan of The Who and PJ has covered a handful of their songs. You guys should check some out. Love, Reign O'er Me is one that really resonates. ✌ The grins on your faces towards the end, took me back to the first time I heard this song. I think I couldn't stop smiling either. Behind Blue Eyes and Squeeze Box are some you should dig into.
I very much enjoyed this one! They did have an amazing drummer - one of the best ever. Since you mess with their drums so much, one of their tightest songs with superior drum elements you should check out: "We Don't Get Fooled Again." That song is lit, and the drums are showcased heavy! Also that wasn't a violin - it was keyboard/synthesizers.
Dave Arbus [East of Eden] played the violin outro. The synthesiser was apparently an early ARP with a feedback loop, doing it's own thing [but I coulld be wrong on that]
I can never have enough of this track infact the whole album Who's next is great..try.. magic bus..I can see for miles..Happy Jack..there are plenty to choose from..Good reaction keep them coming
WHO'S NEXT, one of the best albums I ever owned. It ranked right up there with some of my Beatles albums. BLACK AND BLUE by the Rollingstones was an equal to it... Good reactions guys!👍
Keith Moon, wild man of the drums, wild man of life, inspiration for Neil Peart. He pounded the skins with more physical force than anyone I know of. His whole body was into it. The video of 'Who are You', in the studio...if you look closely at him you'll notice theheadphones he's wearing are duct taped to his head. If they weren't, he'd sling them off.
So cool that you both are enjoying The Who. You should try Bargain from Who's Next and Heaven and Hell live from the Isle of Wight in 1970 (Keith is on fire).
Great band. Great song. Great reaction. You should react to The Who's Eminence Front but make sure u watch the live version from Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in 1982. That was supposed to be their last concert ever. They played 2 shows in Toronto back to back. I live in Toronto and remember it was on regular tv here. Pretty crazy considering it was 1982 but one station did a live simulcast.
I won't go into details, it would take to long. But Pete was amassing and playing with the earliest prototypes of synths and sequencers in his home studio. Over the years as tech improved, he literally agonized (sometimes for months) on programming these instruments to make the sounds he was trying to achieve and to cohesively time them to go with what the other band members were playing. For another brilliant example of an early sequencer sound check out Pink Floyd's "On the Run". Cheers from the canadian Queen nut.
Baba O'Riley was part of an unfinished Rock Opera. Also part of that opera is " Behind Blue Eyes" I prefer the studio version. The Who had great success with their Rock Opera "Tommy" They had a top hit called "Pinball Wizard". It was made into a movie and they got Elton John to sing Pinball Wizard.
Great reaction! Love seeing you both smile with happiness and joy at certain parts of the song. You both have very good ears, and this song does have some hidden subtleties that you you can easily miss. Good work on picking those out!
I notice everybody is commenting on Keith Moon their drummer. He deserves it as he is a great rock drummer. However Jon Entwistle on bass guitar is also world class. He is always in the top 5 greatest rock and roll bassists when they rate such things. When Entwistle and Moon are playing the place starts rocking. Good follow ups would be Love Reign O'er Me The Real Me or Behind Blue Eyes.All great
Roger Daltry is a beast of a vocalist and Pete Townsend is a master guitarist and Keith Moon is one of the Best drummers ever and John Entwistle is a monster to give them a foundation to Rock on!
The WHO….. “The Kids Are Alright” Tour 1989. Rich Stadium Buffalo N.Y…….. AWESOME After the concert the Who were being interviewed on the local radio station and the DJ asked the band…. “So what do you think about that new RAP music coming out”…. Roger Daltrey laughed and started to answer when John Entwistle said….. “let me answer this one….. It seems to me that if you can’t write music, can’t play music, can’t sing music, if you know absolutely nothing at all about music, well then, you do rap now don’t you”….. Then. Pete Townshend said….. “If Hitler was going to come back and torture the world again he would use rap music. Roger Daltrey laughed and said…. “Isn’t that the truth”
I remember playing this song on rockband on drums. I got to the end and would throw my stick with anger because I had no idea what the hell he was doing 🤣
Listening to The Who is like listening to a band that has a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a lead bass AND a lead drummer, Unique love them to bits.
Unique?
@@billviola7884 All I meant was that The Who are instantly recognisable.
Buddy, you are correct! I have seen them live. You are not the same person when you leave the show.

A lot of your top rock bands in the era came out of England The Who were among the best, along with Zep, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, etc.
Tbh.. Feels like everyone from England. Back then Murica songs aren't that great. Even England holds the best for new wave songs.
Their performance of their song "Magic Bus" from the "Live at Leeds" album is the one that blew me away the most.
Greatest rock band ever
Saw the Who 3 times ! Three of the best concerts I've ever seen.

"Amazing Journey/Sparks" on the deluxe version of "Live at Leeds" shows off Keith' brilliance unlike anything else I can think of.
Young man blues and the 14 minute riffage of my generation on live at Leeds is branded in my mind and will be forever. Wot an album!

Listen to the Real Me from Quadrophenia. It is probably the best bass playing you’ll ever hear. The Who were amazing musicians and can’t be beat. The best TRUE rock band coming out of the 60s and 70s. They lived it.

Since you're planning to review more Who, watch any of theirs LIVE. The bomb!
You just listened to one of the greatest rock bands of all time my friend.
Y’all are in the soundtrack of my youth! ☮️
The Who’s “Who’s Next” one of the best albums ever
Kieth Moon rip was one of rocks greatest drummers along side Ginger Baker. John Bonham and Neil Peart.
Really glad you enjoyed this one. This is my favorite of theirs. The intro makes you go hmmm. The middle is nice, but that outro makes the song. 😊
6:13 if you like the Violin part, you absolutely should hear the german Band "City - Am Fenster" you will love it
This song was played in the comedy movie " The Girl Next Door".
great choice love watching young kids react
Lady's and gentlemen (THE WHO) (play young man's blues I.O.W 1970 ) all live at Leeds 🎸🇬🇧👍
So cool that you both are enjoying The Who. You should try Bargain from Who's Next and Heaven and Hell live from the Isle of Wight in 1970 (Keith is on fire).
Love reign ‘ore me is perhaps their best song, you’ll love it
Great band. Great song. Great reaction. You should react to The Who's Eminence Front but make sure u watch the live version from Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens in 1982. That was supposed to be their last concert ever. They played 2 shows in Toronto back to back. I live in Toronto and remember it was on regular tv here. Pretty crazy considering it was 1982 but one station did a live simulcast.
One of the top five greatest Rock bands of all time!
I won't go into details, it would take to long. But Pete was amassing and playing with the earliest prototypes of synths and sequencers in his home studio. Over the years as tech improved, he literally agonized (sometimes for months) on programming these instruments to make the sounds he was trying to achieve and to cohesively time them to go with what the other band members were playing. For another brilliant example of an early sequencer sound check out Pink Floyd's "On the Run". Cheers from the canadian Queen nut.
Wonderful! I think you two would love their BARGAIN and also UNDERTURE.
You should react to them at Shepperton studios playing won't get fooled again.
Baba O'Riley was part of an unfinished Rock Opera. Also part of that opera is " Behind Blue Eyes" I prefer the studio version. The Who had great success with their Rock Opera "Tommy" They had a top hit called "Pinball Wizard". It was made into a movie and they got Elton John to sing Pinball Wizard.
When they asked Geddy Lee from Rush what band he would most like to play in if not Rush, he said The Who.
Love The Who!He beat the hell out the drums.RiP Moon.
If you have time try "Young Mans Blues" from The Who Live at Leeds !
Or at the Isle of Wight festival... Epic moment.
@@francoisdelpeuch8527 Agree. An incendiary performance!!
Try "reign o'er me," their most powerful song
"Pinball Wizard" Live at Woodstock...legendary
Great reaction! Love seeing you both smile with happiness and joy at certain parts of the song. You both have very good ears, and this song does have some hidden subtleties that you you can easily miss. Good work on picking those out!
You should definitely react to some live who - hopefully late 60s or early 70s stuff. They were a legendary live band.
I notice everybody is commenting on Keith Moon their drummer. He deserves it as he is a great rock drummer. However Jon Entwistle on bass guitar is also world class. He is always in the top 5 greatest rock and roll bassists when they rate such things. When Entwistle and Moon are playing the place starts rocking. Good follow ups would be Love Reign O'er Me The Real Me or Behind Blue Eyes.All great
Roger Daltry is a beast of a vocalist and Pete Townsend is a master guitarist and Keith Moon is one of the Best drummers ever and John Entwistle is a monster to give them a foundation to Rock on!
You guys really should check out The Zimmers. It's a really big group of old people singing My Generation by The Who! Really fun!
The Who are legends.
btw if you like The Who check out Deep Purple's Child In Time. But you MUST watch the live version.
The WHO….. “The Kids Are Alright” Tour 1989. Rich Stadium Buffalo N.Y…….. AWESOME
After the concert the Who were being interviewed on the local radio station and the DJ asked the band…. “So what do you think about that new RAP music coming out”…. Roger Daltrey laughed and started to answer when John Entwistle said….. “let me answer this one….. It seems to me that if you can’t write music, can’t play music, can’t sing music, if you know absolutely nothing at all about music, well then, you do rap now don’t you”….. Then. Pete Townshend said….. “If Hitler was going to come back and torture the world again he would use rap music. Roger Daltrey laughed and said…. “Isn’t that the truth”
They're both smiling toward the end.
I remember playing this song on rockband on drums. I got to the end and would throw my stick with anger because I had no idea what the hell he was doing 🤣
