The Who perform a selection of hits during the closing ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games during which the Olympic Flame is extinguished.
Every two years, the world's finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games - a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.
At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.
Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few.

Queen, Bowie, Genesis and more. Britain's bands rock the world. Always have, always will. V
I've never been prouder of The Who. They are a true expression of UK culture, without jingoism, just loud passionate and joyful.
It's a shame Keith Moon wasn't around for that finale. The man did love his fireworks.
Don't forget Entwistle
John Entwistle as well :(
I believe The Who's performance of see me feel me at Woodstock was the greatest live performance by any band in rock history
Queens performance at the Band aid concert in london was also one i will always remember.
At least they have Ringo's son instead. Quite fitting. :)
These guys gigged the original Woodstock. Let that sink in.
The only band to have played all the great music festivals.
The opening and closing ceremonies of London 2012 could just have been two simple gigs featuring only the best British music artists and they would have still been the greatest opening and closing ceremonies of all time.

Daz555Daz I didn't watch the opening ceremony,but the Who are tremendous always live 😀

The best opening and closing ceremony of Olympic games history.
The best games ever
I agree
Summer 2012 was so exciting: we had the diamond jubilee, the Olympics, the Paralympics, and the Queen parachute jumping. Britain was the centre of the world like never before!
The Who start playing at 5:28
Dude, you're the real MVP.
GJ Man!!
thank u
Legend. Thanks for that
Keith would have loved this. He probably would have blew something up haha
Britain Has Many Legendary Bands and Soloist Music Artist's - To-date.
We Are Proud To Be British 🇬🇧. 👑
The best OLIMPIC GAMES of britain ROCK ..EVER !! THE WHO NUMBER ONE for the perfect Closing!!!
Roger still has a great voice
Yeah he actually has a great voice just as it is - but remembering how old he is and how many screams and feats his voice has performed (endured) it's miraculously awesome. I can't believe he could do these awesome songs such great justice! And seriously, Pete's guitar playing is just getting better...
He's also a great actor! I remember him in the Highlander series as the charming immortal Hugh Fitzcairn!
Johannes Wiberg There's something quite beautiful hearing him do the middle section ("Don't cry...") which is uncommon? I wonder why this was an exception? Olympics Ceremony running low on mics?! Haha
He's also a lovely man if you meet him. I was lucky enough to last year. I will never forget it. He was such a sweetheart- and he hugged me!
@@burnsybaby1987 Ye, perhaps Pete wasn't feeling it? Maybe he had a case of diminutive equine: a little horse (hoarse). Dad jokes! I love em!
Let's be honest... The best way for the ceremony to close would be with the Monty Python foot standing on the flame.
ahahahahaahahaaaa
+Innocuoustroll Bloody classic!!!
Yes
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Brilliant
This is London!
The best opening/closing ceremony for any olympics
Best ending of the Olympic Games ever!
Sax
Best Olympics Ever!!
I actually started to tear up because of this performance. It's great to see them still so energetic on stage. It's so sad that John and Keith couldn't be here with them. They're still great, I can oblige that, because I saw them live March of 2016.
I just saw this again and tears were flowing- crazy
Listening To You is the best song to close a ceremony, so passionate
Baba O'Riley gives you goosebumps every time, and you still don't know why this time.
I was 14 then. I will never ever forget the 2012 olympics, it will treasured in my chest of memories.
Imagine if the ox was still alive and he played my generation bass solo with his amazing tone there !!! RIP John and Keith we all miss you so much masters of rock...
The best band ever
Not even a band after the loss of John Entwistle.
Only rock and roll band in the WORLD that could pull the closing song off like that with all the fireworks....
THE WHO.
The Who broooo this guys voice is still epic af!
ringo starr's son doing the drumming
Needs practice, like his useless dad.
Have seen The Who so many time live......................Roger and Pete still perform as well today as they did when they began back in 1964!!!! 53 years ago. Wonder what bands of today will still be able to belt it out 53 years from now??? Thank you Roger and Pete for such wonderful music..Truly" our generation"
They are rockin 2024😊
Pete Townshend is awesome
He is a killer
Still waiting for that book though eh?
To this day Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey don't cease to inspire me. Amazing. I won't die happily if I never get to see at least half of the best band of the world playing live.
Shame I was too young to appreciate this. Brilliant performance
Amazing performance. Also Ringo Starr's son at the drums!
Nobody will believe me when I submit this, but my grandpa actually arrested keith moon in 1975 for being drunk and disorderly in Ayrshire, Scotland although he could have been on the beat in glasgow at the time. my grandpa sadly passed away in march 2015.
+Samodus chronicals sorry for your loss. A story to be told for generations long.
Garry Barlow
You're right, I don't believe you.
Keith Moon was drunk and disorderly?!? A likely story...
Anyone can believe Mooney being arrested
Samodus, your grand papa sounds like he was a decent copper, unfortunately not like the useless rubbish we have to put up with these days.
I love how Roger sings Pete's line in Baba O'Riley.
You can't get any better than this... Absolutely epic!!
The Who one of the best shows in Olimpics London 2012.😊
The British really know how to put on a spectacular show! Thanks for the Olympics being there in 2012. I love it with Queen Elizabeth and Bond beginning. This is the end!
Just that opening of Baba O'Riley is brilliant
5:27
Wow Roger still sounds amazing after all these years...
Man, I love coming back to this because it's so great, but:
This version of "See me, feel me" is so touching and electric, it really stands out.
why you have such legendary bands Britain ?
+David Eason Well its 1 reason .. BRITAIN IS GREAT AT LOADS OF STUFF INCLUDING MUSIC .. SO THATS WHY WE ARE GREAT BRITAIN !!!!
+David Eason. The Brits are the world's great entertainers. Whether it's writers, actors or musicians the British seem to do it best.
+David Eason its the only good thing we have left maten these bands are the dogs bolox
+David Eason Because we are British.
+David Eason but seriously it's because the Americans invented the Blues then forgot about and came along Rock n Roll and the Brits put a bit of blues back in Rock N Roll with and introspective twist on it.
That is the longest CSI has taken to open.
contact1araya 💀💀😂
Lol xD
Imagine still having it after so long just legendary
Zak is outstanding when he plays the drums. He is really talented, like his father. :D ;)
THE WHO was always my favorite rock bands since the 60's, and actually had no idea they would have turned out as successful as they had. Imagine, before TOMMY THE WHO were looked upon as just another average pop group with their earlier hits such as MY GENERATION, I CAN SEE FOR MILES, HAPPY JACK, SUBSTITUTE and others. And of course we can't forget about WHO'S NEXT and QUADROPHENIA.
This is what I loved about London's closing and especially Vancouver's closing ceremonies....it felt like a cool party!!! Formality was all done once the flame went out and it was just time to have good fun
Best finish to a Closing Ceremony. Darcey Bussell and The Who!
5:50 Roger Daltrey being too early with the mic bump :D
Zac has always said that Keith, who was a great friend of his father's, was an inspiration to him from when Zac was a small boy (not unsurprisingly, Ringo, who knows perfectly well what a tough business music is, was not actually a big fan of Zac following in his footsteps although he's very proud of him).The Concert for NYC documentary shows Paul & Stella McCartney proudly tell former US Pres. Bill Clinton backstage that it's Ringo's firstborn drumming with The Who.
I can only begin to imagine what sort of surprises Keith Moon would have had for us had he still been alive!
The Who is the very definition of Rock and Roll. Every time I watch this I get overwhelmed with excitement and good feeling
Roger's voice is so powerful here
The whole closing cero,was a sound nightmare, to gather, yet the end master was the stage presence of the WHO. stunned all of us.
If Keith Moon was around I have a feeling he’d create fireworks of his own
I watched this in England and one friend said when the Who performed My Generation was - 'What? A senior citizen?' There it is!
Man, you British have created countless legendary bands:
The Who
Led Zeppelin
The Animals
The Yardbirds
The Kinks
The Beatles
Cream
Rolling Stones
Respect from New Zealand, also, my favourite band is The Who, and I'm 16, I also like Led Zepp too, but not as much as the legendary Who...... JB and other modern music are nowhere near as talented/great/enduring/powerful/raw as real music.......
It would've been cool, if they played Who Are You, or Won't Get Fooled Again, or even A Quick One, as well as My Generation........ Long Like The Who......................................
I think you have have missed the greatest of them all, the mighty Queen
MrFluff101 Whoops, sorry mate..... Thank Ya for adding Queen in.....
Shaun Templey Not to sound negative but the Animals are a one song band and that song isn't even theirs. The rest of the bands are top notch.
Shaun Templey Have you heard of Pink Floyd?
Mvern vern Yip, Ive heard of them, they're alright, but I'm not a fan of them...........
Bravo!Thank you for the music!Rock front!Hello from Volga river!
fabulous..nothing beats Brit bands...and nothing beats the sheer bloody magnificence of the Who
Very beautiful, spectacular, I enjoyed the recording!
Roger's voice is incredible here
Beat that old fart McCartney into the ground, Lost his voice, time to quit
GTFO
its lip synced.. I'm so disappointed... look at 9:18
omg, and they start playing the track at 13:24
Axel Döös Billy Nicholls & Simon Townshend keep singing
Takes me back to 2005 when I saw them in concert, Rodger still has the chops and Pete with those moves
Great great performance! The One and Only Who!
Simon Townshend bought his hat from my son's shop.
when they transitioned into the “see me feel me...” melody from tommy i started crying not gonna lie
So that's just Live Aid, Live 8, The Super Bowl, and The Olympic Closing Ceremony for The Who then.. not much more unless they are the first group to play on Mars.
Woodstock...
Of all the events The Who is in it, you've literally forgot Woodstock, the most important of it all
Never going to Mars bc Mars is a light, and non material, and going there ever, is a total hoax duuuh.
Woodstock? Isle of White 1969? Monterey 1968 where Hendrix was scared to go on after them? Stealing the show at the 2001 The Concert for New York?
Great Performance! Especially Townshends guitar solo at the end of Baba O'riley.
LEGEND
sadly two key members of the who are gone. John Entwistle and Kieth Moon. Imagine if they were there too
Only the best bands in the world can do that and they did it the best! The Who, the best and most legendary band ever!
It would be so English if someone, possibly Queen would come up to that flame with a little cup of tea and spill it over it and the fire would just go out
Jackie E. You should, i wrote that with only one hand.... i was holding cup of tea in the other
Before a RA member shot her in the mouth..
nah - they surrendered decades ago....
WRONG - for otherwise they wouldn't had voted brexit !
you IDIOT !
VC YT 441sasfgjkllXcvbn,
I don't know why but I am glad to see Pete playing so excitedly.
Yes, they are clearly older and Pete is greyer but Roger and Pete have held up remarkably well, especially Pete, considering all he's been through. Roger still has, as much as it pains a Beatlemaniac like me to admit this, the best true rock and roll voice EVER.
The transition to my generation was just the next level of incredible
I heard that the London 2012 organizers reached out to The Who to see if Keith Moon would be able to play... I wish I was kidding.
I love how at the end the commentator is saying that "I enjoyed the Olympics in your country in 2000 but for me this is very special...and I think it has been...quite wonderful".
It seems like he thinks the London Olympics were better than Sydney but he's too polite to say that, so he just says "quite wonderful". Little bit of British humility. Love it. As an Australian, I thought Sydney was pretty great, but London was maybe even better. Well done, Britain.
Boy do I love my nation and its culture. :,)
just mention Morgan Nicholls playing bass over there.
Watched the ceremony again last night,just amazing,made u proud to be British! Yanks didnt show the closing ceremony I heard! Same for the fans of these bands!
closing ceremonies: your doing it right!
To bad they did not smash everything and the audience would join and smash the stadium ;)
gertiblitz hahahahaa that's hilarious ... and man, I tried to picture that situation in my head and it looks absolutely amazing.
Greatest band ever!!
I have to admit, the Who were amazing. The moment our hear that guitar, you just know.
The who- baba o riley excelent
Despite waiting about an hour for The Who, it was surely worth it! I'd love to have been there. They still sound awesome:)
Fair play that's a brilliant cover of the CSI theme song.
You know how to make old men angry xD
MomentousGaming Like shooting aging fish in a barrel.

Response shows how naïve people are on youtube. You weren't even trying.
Jeb Bush please clap
@@Gibbo118 Watch it with that buckshot! - Aging Fish
The British olympics is the GOAT and will always be the GOAT …
I liked London Olympics opening ceremony; everything was so well dramatized in an imaginative way! ( I'm from Athens. Obviously I also liked Athens 2004 for different reasons)
The Who never old.
gosh how did i miss this! it was amazing.
..and John. He would have loved this gig.
Magistral! ótimo encerramento, e ainda com o The Who, enquanto aq no Brasil... huehuehue.
I watch this video 2 times a day for the last two months, The Who sound amazing in here, tears in my eyes!
Am I the only one who wonders where is Paul McCartney's performance on the same night? I mean, the official upload of it.
He played at the opening ceremony rather than this show which is the closing ceremony. As for him not being on this channel McCartney's first song had major sound issues and though they only lasted a few seconds they make the broadcast version unsuitable for uploading here.
It was beautiful, I m just 18 but i can say i have never seen anything like this my entire life =)) xx
Grandes The Who
Londres 2012
THERE WAS ONLY ONE BAND TO FINISH THE GAMES, GUESS WHO?
Pink Floyd with "Comfortably Numb" as in Pulse..or David Bowie with "Heroes" (with some of the text changed). or Led Zeppelin with "Stairway to Heaven" (Better than Kate Bush's "Running up that Hill") would have been good.
why do you want To change Heroes 's text?
for sure, but those songs r clearly not the Olympic vibe.
+Facundo carpceerodos Well, the part with the (Berlin) Wall with shooting guards would not be appropriate I think.
"Comfortably numb" would be for the dopers
better than Eric Idle
I love it that Zac is drumming without hi-hats just like Keith
Diana would have loved the music
Sublime... The Who are amazing... I remember the show at Bercy !
Alright,this is for the Einstein's who have said that there is not an Olympics ever 2 years, It's called , The Winter Olympics.
Awesome
This makes me wish I was from England. I live in the one place in the world when nothing ever happends. Ever. And if something would happend it would probably just be a bird that took suicide out of being bored. It happens all the time, not kidding it happend yesterday. This place is called Sweden.
Guess tou did not like ABBA Ace of base. Your country voted every year year in year out as the best place to live in the world? Guess the birds hate it though
The Doctor no abba is great, and Sweden is an amazing country economically but that doesn't take away the fact that we have nothing to do here, trust me every swedish person feels this way at least once
Lauraline sorry to hear that I guess when we do not live in the Country we only see what we hear about. Sweden needs some old british bands to come over and do a great concert!!!!!! to liven things up :))
