Bolin's Show there IS a version of this where it shows John,but it's from another song that same night. (John commented that the closeup was from" Substitute" .)
Saw The Who in 1967 on one of those silly package tours they used to do in the U.K. where each band would be do a “turn” for about 20 minutes each. The Who were top of the bill but ran over their allotted time and the management pulled the curtains on them. Townsend ripped the curtains open and proceeded to smash his guitar all over the orchestra pit. My brother and me looked at each other with our jaws on the floor. This was my first live gig and one of the best I’ve ever experienced. The impression they left on me as a 15 year old kid is buried deep in my psyche.
~ Despite some crappy editing (No shots of John Entwistle during the bass solo, putting in a visual segment from another song), this stands up as one of the best clips of The Who on stage. This is pure energy, embodied in a three minute clip. Absolutely love this.
There is a real punk ethos to this performance, in particular. You can see why so many of the punk bands from the 70's and 80's drew from The Who for influence.
Still doesn't beat jimi, also Pete failed to get any feedback, while with jimi its almost like he could control it it's that good, even when he set his guitar on fire, with no movement from the guitar it changes tune
One of the hardest hitting live bands to ever play. Who cares if they started punk or metal. The who live is in a class of its own. Dirty, grimey, and down right chaotic. Idk what people think heavy music is but live Who is heavy. Their albums aren't always heavy but that's what makes their performances so special
And also the birth of hard rock and heavy metal, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple layed their cards down. The Who took the jingily sound of the sixties and turned it around. They are pioneers no doubt. Their the world's first real rock n roll band.
it was they were on the Smothers Brothers Comedy show of all things and Keith blew up his bass drum with gun powder Pete Townstead was literally deaf for a month afterwards and it took 6 months for his hair to grow back, on the back of his head
Well I was only 8 when they performed this but trust me when I say our attitudes have changed slightly singing along with "I hope I die before I get old..."
@@mikemaxwell1801 Being 65 years old I can tell that many of us have, at least in our minds, changed that line to "Don't wanna die just because I'm old..." Time is truly the great equalizer.
The Who's wildness was wonderful to behold, and hilarious. I was 12 in 1965 when it was released, the same year as my other favourite rock song, Satisfaction by the Stones. It was just the right age for such bad influences to fuel my entry into teenage rebellion. The timing was GREAT.
Saw The Who mid 70's. They went a Tour and 1/2 without breaking equipment. But the audience in Springfield, Ma. was so excited, they busted up equipment big time. I had binoculars 10X50, so I watched like I was 20' away. Pete was something else! 🤠
THAT'S ROCK N ROLL - !! ,..the crowd screaming at the end of this brings tears of pricelessness ,.... and after this gig ,...ALL music would never be the Same again !!
It adds on the years since then for me.I was coming up to 21 then now 74 still ticking and glad to have been young and around then…..Fuck these crappy shit days.
@@alfching2499 sir, this song is about new generation being sick of old fucks who can't just stop complaining about literally everything what youth do that being said I ask you one question: why don't you just fade away?
This is such a prime example of raw emotion and raw energy that no other group had at that time. I remember watching this as a kid and being slightly terrified at the display of auto destruction. Then I got into my teens and it became eye candy. A visual outlet. Talk about clearing the area and making yourself understood and noticed. Any other group that took after them always looked staged and predictable. The Who were always unpredictable and always on the verge of combustion. The "in your face" energy alone was unreal. To this very day, they're my favorite group to watch.
you st#pid #ss, this is probably the saddest moment in recent history, metaphoricaly trashing all then and current nazi generation including nazi hippies its sad, horrible, nothing to admire or laugh, the great tragedy of humanity real live
I always loved this filmed version of the song...Right at the end with the smoke enveloping the bass that said 'Who' with that thud heard in the back ground...That expressed it all!
He might have been. None of that was The Who's actual equipment. They rented/borrowed it all for this performance. That's why Moon is playing Slingerland drums instead of the Premier Drums he usually used around the time.
This was The Who's American debut at the Monterey International Pop Festival in 1967, the first music festival of its kind, I believe, and the basic of the documentary movie Monterey Pop. Later in the music festival, Jimi Hendrix would set his guitar on fire while playing Wild Thing.
Pete has always said that "Tommy" saved him because they were able to move past the instrument-smashing schtick which cost them close to a Million Pounds over a three year period.
A friend of mine played as an opening act for them back in late 60's in Stockholm and they had to bring their own gear. The Who fucked it all up entering the stage. Afterwards backstage they said "hmmm eee you kinda ruined our equipment" and the manager just handed them some money. My friend said that after that they could buy some even nicer mics and shit. Those were the days.
The Who four totally individual and talented guys who came together and created a sound only original too them. In their time they created the Rock opera besides being the best live act, the Loudest too, first to use a laser act in their on stage routine. Their music hasn't aged and its rooted in an era that will never be surpassed in my view. Think of the era I was born in, the late 1960's The fashion especially the girls, the cars, the music scene and the colour TV shows like The Avengers just for example.
Hernan pages Si_los who otra de mis banda faborita My generation fue la cancion de todo el metal que yo oi por primera vez en el año 1969 recuerdo que el difusor era ivan locher de radio capital
Best live band EVER! This is the 1st time I've ever seen Keith's one bass with the "Slingerland" on the front. Must've busted the one with "The" on it??
Pete Townsend penned “My Generation” on his 20th birthday, May 19, 1965. A HUGE HIT that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for its “historical, artistic and significant” value❕ Roger Daltrey sang the lead vocals with a stutter, which was quite unusual. He recalled : “I have got a stutter. I control it much better now but not in those days. When we were in the studio doing ‘My Generation’, [our manager] came up to me and said ‘STUTTER!’ I said ‘What?’ He said ‘Stutter the words - it makes it sound like you’re pilled.’ And I said, ‘Oh… like I am!’” In 1967, Townsend called this song “The only really successful social comment I’ve ever made.” He explained : “‘My Generation’ was very much about trying to find a place in society. I was very, very lost […] then.” The lyrics contain the famous line “I hope I die before I get old.” Keith Moon sadly died of a drug overdose in 1978, at age 32. The remaining Who* members found themselves still playing the piece decades later, making those very words sound ironical❕ Today, Englishmen Peter Townsend and Roger Daltrey are regarded as living legends having co-founded one of the most influential rock bands of all time‼️ 💙🎶💜 May you rest in peace, Keith John Moon (1946 - 1978 🌹, John Alec Entwistle (1944 - 2002) 🌹, Douglas Sandom (1930 - 2019) 🌹… * The actual name of the group is “Who”, and not “The Who”.
My Generation The Who People try to put us d-down (talkin' 'bout my generation) Just because we get around (talkin' 'bout my generation) Things they do look awful c-c-cold (talkin' 'bout my generation) I hope I die before I get old (talkin' 'bout my generation) This is my generation This is my generation, baby Why don't you all f-fade away (talkin' 'bout my generation) Don't try to dig what we all s-s-s-say (talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm not trying to 'cause a big s-s-sensation (talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (talkin' 'bout my generation) My generation This is my generation, baby Why don't you all f-fade away (talkin' 'bout my generation) And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (talkin' 'bout my generation) I'm not trying to…
I remember going: wow, I don't know who that is, but they must be the greatest musicians in the history of modern music. Little did I know I was actually right for once.

The power, energy and random of Keith Moon. Greatest drummer ever.
I was the same on speed
@@raymondmorgan2488 sry, but no one cares.
@@js0303 i hate to be the bearer of bad news but i accidentally cared
I think Townsend was mad because Entwistle stole the spotlight on bass.
@@vulcan4705 then you probably a servant, just like him.
I just love how during the bass solo they don't put the camera on Entwistle not even once
Not even a spotlight on him at all
It's like look at the head of that bass in the spotlight of roger
EVERYBODY SAYS I'M THE QUIET ONE, YOU HEAR BUT YOU CANT SEEE MEE
I think the only bass solo in pop music !?! Keith is pure rythm, a drumming angel, now, and then, I think, -- I know !! !!

That sounds awesome
Saw similar show in NY. Murray the K Easter show. Changed me too. I was 15.
Cream there too. They sucked.
Sweet Jesus, that sounds like an epic experience.
I whished i was there i ll keep the pieces as a memory keepsake 🎸💥💢💥👌
The impression they made on you, I imagine so. There was nothing like it at the time.
a full decade before the Sex Pistols and the Ramones, but still punk as all fuck.
Iggy Pop and Stooges, the MC5, all considered as proto-punk.
except every player was ducking amazing at there instrument
@@jackpearson18 lmao yeah
This is the real birth of punk rock.

Absolutely love this.
John saw it and said the footage was of Substitute
There is a real punk ethos to this performance, in particular. You can see why so many of the punk bands from the 70's and 80's drew from The Who for influence.
Even the Smothers Brothers crew figured it out by the second stanza of the solo.
Still doesn't beat jimi, also Pete failed to get any feedback, while with jimi its almost like he could control it it's that good, even when he set his guitar on fire, with no movement from the guitar it changes tune
I think that's why Townsend was upset.
I always wondered how much money John Entwistle saved by not destroying his equipment
Lee G I read somewhere it was about 12 pounds. He had a heroin habit to support or it would have been more.
John was not about saving money. The main reason they would tour in the 90s is because john was bad with money
he didn't destroy his guitars, he blew the toilet's hotels with a cherry bombs a lot with Keith
Lol...Not nearly enough to cover his clothes and coke habit
@TrampolineLemons Except that sadly he isn't alive anymore.
I was an angry young man then, I lived this song, now I'm 68 and they sing it to me. What goes around comes around.
Love It
R I P Keith and John
I saw them on a Concert 1978 in Germany
I was 16 year old girl and
thought
what old men on the stage😊
Backstage staff trying to save as much as they can at the end :D
I cannot believe it happened 50yrs ago AWESOME
I can, lolo, just went onn Amazon and bought Quadrophenia album
I always love to see keith and john jamming till the very end between all the chaos, its so badass
Keith Moon is a god
SlowScizor And John Bonham (Led Zeppelin)
Santiago Alban oh piss on those boring thieves.
Was*
Are we just ignoring the actual god???? Neil peart????????
THE WHO es una máquina de puro rock
Never get tired of watching Keith. Almost 60 years of him killin it never gets old.
One of the greatest things i have ever seen. Fury, Pop Art, punk rock, auto-destruction.
Hey if you like The Who you should check out my brothers band, it's called The Doublejumps
The birth of punk rock
These are real musicians!!!
I can't believe nobody was moshing
Pete: *Destroying guitar*

Golden comment!
This is punk song ... amazing
Agus Setyawan Good to know.
Ross Smith oh shut it Ross.
Joanie mallen Oh. Apparently Agus has hired Johnny Rotten as his spokesperson. Just more proof that, 'punk,' and the kids are alright.
Saw 3 times, late 60's - early 70's - It was ALWAYS a buckle up, you're in for a ride -- pure blitzing power !!! Thanks Who for the memories.
Hey if you like The Who you should check out my brothers band, it's called The Doublejumps
73 and I still rocking to this great band...man we really did have best music ever....rock on kids
One of the hardest hitting live bands to ever play. Who cares if they started punk or metal.

EVERYBODY wanted to form a heavy metal or punk band after this unbelievable Earth changing performance !!
The birth of punk rock
Mat Sentol Dogol uh,,,,riiiiigghhht.
Yes!
True
It should been aborted
And also the birth of hard rock and heavy metal, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple layed their cards down. The Who took the jingily sound of the sixties and turned it around. They are pioneers no doubt. Their the world's first real rock n roll band.
Keith Moon R I P flies around the kit like pure magic
Still my favorite performance ever!
back when bands were not afraid to show their anarchic side of life
BRUTAL ENERGY ,..PROPER EMOTION,... PERFECT STAGE ANGER ,.... GRETTA VAN FAKE COULD "NEVER' UNDERSTAND THIS ,...

Kieth Moon! so good here!
One band I would have loved to see live back in the day awesome
My favorite song by the who
Imagine hearing this in the 1960s… must have been absolutely wild
it was
they were on the Smothers Brothers Comedy show of all things
and Keith blew up his bass drum with gun powder
Pete Townstead was literally deaf for a month afterwards
and it took 6 months for his hair to grow back, on the back of his head
YES it was GREAT !
It's wild now!
and live even better! 71 and can still remember the presence of greatness, back in Minneapolis, 1969.
It was always - come on and join together with THE BAND ... and we did !!!
The ultimate anthem of every 15-year-old male.

My all time favorite band, they give a energic, spectacular show...

Million times better than most of the music today.
There is no music today. It’s like cotton candy,you take a bite and it’s gone

Great band. Great song. Don't see any use though in smashing your equipment.

Poor John. Even the cameraman is barely paying attention to him.
i agree 2-D

classic lyrics... same for every generations of teenagers
Oh my god! Awesome. Keith and John are so incredible in this jam... listen and watch.
Yes please still feel this way at 72
I think this is the birth of punk rock right here.
Que performance do Keith Moon nessa música, genial...
Ahhhhh, tão puro, exacerbado e único!!!
Keith Moon was so ahead of his time! The Who had one of the most powerful rhythm sections in rock.
I always loved this filmed version of the song...Right at the end with the smoke enveloping the bass that said 'Who' with that thud heard in the back ground...That expressed it all!
Moon the loon...the greatest
R.I.P Keith moon
Still watching in 2018. Keith Moon is 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
And he's still dead. Moron millennial.
The cameraman should be burn in hell for showing no love for John
Tran Hoang Hieu ikr thats what camera man deserves
I agree! Poor John man!
Actually there was a cameraman showing john but they didnt edited so really the editor should
Bit dramatic but ok..
Exactly!!
That dude at 2:16 crying because of Townshend destroying his strat
WAA WAA WAA, all you crybaby millennials will NEVER get it.
He might have been. None of that was The Who's actual equipment. They rented/borrowed it all for this performance. That's why Moon is playing Slingerland drums instead of the Premier Drums he usually used around the time.
GREATEST BAND LIVE EVER!!!!!!!

Its fun fact for his mum.

@TrampolineLemons : Interesting... A fact that I did not know!
On this tour most of the backline - drums and amps- were rented by The Who’s management.
THIS is Brutal Energy !! Untamed , Amazing Anger ,... Frustration put to rock n roll !!

Pete Townsend penned “My Generation” on his 20th birthday, May 19, 1965.
A HUGE HIT that was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999 for its “historical, artistic and significant” value❕
Roger Daltrey sang the lead vocals with a stutter, which was quite unusual. He recalled : “I have got a stutter. I control it much better now but not in those days. When we were in the studio doing ‘My Generation’, [our manager] came up to me and said ‘STUTTER!’ I said ‘What?’ He said ‘Stutter the words - it makes it sound like you’re pilled.’ And I said, ‘Oh… like I am!’”
In 1967, Townsend called this song “The only really successful social comment I’ve ever made.” He explained : “‘My Generation’ was very much about trying to find a place in society. I was very, very lost […] then.”
The lyrics contain the famous line “I hope I die before I get old.” Keith Moon sadly died of a drug overdose in 1978, at age 32. The remaining Who* members found themselves still playing the piece decades later, making those very words sound ironical❕
Today, Englishmen Peter Townsend and Roger Daltrey are regarded as living legends having co-founded one of the most influential rock bands of all time‼️ 💙🎶💜
