I am definitely not gonna knock Pete (he's my favorite guitarist), but it was The Who, not just Pete. So I guess I'm just reinforcing your post, cheers.
I grew up listening to The Who. There’s always an edge in Pete’s guitar, Roger’s vocals, John’s bass and Moon’s drums - none of which I hear in this rendition. At least these guys must admire them enough to play this great song.
You won't find a bigger Who fan than me.......and this is AWESOME!!!!! Such a great cover! BTW, I'm going to see The Who at Fenway Park in Boston on Sept 13, 2019!!! I can't wait!
The Who took Mose Allison's song and turned it into an anthem. Their version was fueled with the requisite anger and raw musicianship to make it uniquely their own. The Foo Fighters gave it a shot. But, really, there is no comparison.
People saying it's not as good as the who 😫 their not the who, their a bunch of guys having fun and rocking out, that's what it's all about! Would u rather have some X factor loser on the telly or these guys. Oh and I love the who with passion
I knew at 0:29 this was a good but not great performance. The Who set the bar way too high....they outman this band at every position. Just too strong. But kudos to the FF's for bringing YMB to the Millennials. The message remains true as it was 50 years ago...even worse today.
Hey! Look at you! Look at me! Look at me! Get the FUCK out of my show! You don't come to my show to fight, you come to my show and fucking dance! xD Dave is awesome.
Everybody talking Pete this and Keith that alwhile forgetting John Entwistle really set the bar high fir bassists on this song dude was literally playing lead while keeping the rhythm section tight and coordinated
this is in no way bad. it's good rock n roll. but light years away from the who. it's actually great but give me Pete with an SG with P90's in. the 69 to 72 period and I'm in rock n roll heaven
Trying to play a song by The Who and actually sound anything like them, is like a 12 year old trying to keep up with a cheetah. *It. Just. Ain't. Happening.* Not even The Who can match The Who of 1970.
Hey I'M not a foo fan by any means, but they did that song well, it wasn't great but it didn't suck that's for sure I think Townsend would like their version
currah 41 YEAH YOUR RIGHT ABOUT TOWNSEND, BUT I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT BAD, SURE IT DOESN'T EVEN TOUCH THE LEEDS EVENT, BUT WHAT DOES? THAT ALBUM IS A FULL BLOW.N MASTERPIECE, DO NOT EXPECT TO EVER HEAR A DRUMMING PERFORMANCE LIKE THAT EVER AND THE LIST GOES ON, ONE IN A BILLION ALBUM
currah 41 Maybe I'M wrong but are the foo fighters better than that,I DON't know I like one song they have done, Who let Dave be the lead singer because he can't sing he can yell but he can't sing
So flat and mild and tame compared with The 'Oo, who they clearly admire. Pete T alone was somehow more powerful than these three guitars, or even three dozen of them. What is evidently gone from These Young Men???? The balls, the dynamics, theatre, the fire, tthe power to go beyond themselves??? It's like a Hollywood remake of some great classic...
The Who Tanglewood 1970. I was surprised by how much of a lack luster performance Dave Grohl put into this song. The drumming is great but the vocals suck. You realize how much better Daltry is as a front man.
Well that was fun...I don't what's with the all the haters...yea yea The Who is great, but this was great too, you can' t say that mashed the song up...they respected it well and did with honour. It was great, you haters just get off the internet. I love The Who's and this was powerful, tight and great sounding.
Nah I respect them for respecting the music. They're not trying to one up The Who, it's a homage. Ok the guitar bit was a little too long and self indulgent maybe. But no doubt there were people in the crowd on that night who were buzzing at listening to this.
Song is originally by Mose Allison and best known is the version by the Who. Foo Fighter's version is okay but the best version I've ever heard is the one by Joe Bonamassa at the Beacon Theater. If you like this song do yourself a favor and check it out. Joe B. on guitar and Tal Bergman on drums are unbelievable!
Song made great by The Who, not done justice by the F.F.'s (and I'm a fan of boh. Over contrived, and nowhere near the sheer raw power and virtuosity of The Who, live. Listen to their performance at the Isle of Wight. Nuff said
The singer, of course, is not as good as Roger Daltrey, the drummer is not as good as Keith Moon and the bass player, specially, doesn't even attempt to play like Entwhistle...
Fred Weiss lol, weak guys. These are modern day rock and roll legends. Dave Grohl is almost worth 300 mil and was part of Nirvana which had a diamond selling record with Nevermind. Smh.
They obviously have talent, why did they have to imitate, (badly) The Who, Live At Leeds version? Does no-one have any original ideas? Do modern musicians have to imitate bands from the 60s all the time?
You completely miss the idea of what the Foo Fighters is all about, then. Also, just because they tried to play a song they didnt make doesnt mean that they don't have any original ideas.
2:09 - What the hell was that??? “And a young man and a young man and a young man and a young man and a young man.” I quit watching. I’m going over to watch The Who’s version. The REAL version.
I dont get all these comments saying this is bad... I think this is a great cover. I think it blows Bonamassa out of the water, I think its better than The Who at Leeds. Just sayin.
This exemplifies what I can't stand about this band. They, despite their success and experience, cannot hold a candle to the Who's version of this song. And it's not the FF doing "their" version... they're simply wishing they could harness the lightning in a bottle that was the Who. Overwrought and stodgy, FF's best material was well over 2 decades ago. If anybody needs to hear what they are trying to do, here it is... ruclips.net/video/lgR4SDxBJAo/видео.html
Love the tribute, but this really go to show you how dynamic The Who was. Pete outdid 3 good guitarists🤙🏼
I am definitely not gonna knock Pete (he's my favorite guitarist), but it was The Who, not just Pete. So I guess I'm just reinforcing your post, cheers.
The WHO outplayed and sang them, but it is still really cool they covered this.
I grew up listening to The Who. There’s always an edge in Pete’s guitar, Roger’s vocals, John’s bass and Moon’s drums - none of which I hear in this rendition. At least these guys must admire them enough to play this great song.

How was it?
I.Whoanjo
the who would blow them off the stage
I like the foo but yeah!
RIP Taylor Hawkins. What a drummer.
He’s jamming with Keith and John
This is fantastic.
But the Who version from Kids are Alright is absolutely insane.
Not even 100 miles near the Who s
great band but nobody out whos the who
J 16 You’re right. Some things are just better left alone.
Well there is that.
This performance really shows, how amazing The Who were live.
Oh man. No idea they covered this. I’m impressed anyone does. It’s pretty hard to nail even though theoretically kind of simple.
The passion, intensity, insanity, inspiration, and pure charisma of the Who is impossible to match.
three guitarists attempting to get the sound The Who with one!
Patrick Jordan Shut the fuck up boomer!!!
And totally missing.
@@Left4Green why because our music singers song writers and concerts put you to shame😂🤷♂️
exactly what I thought
and the riff isnt right...
Meh...

The who fighters
From a Who fan, this is a great version. Also checked out the Joe Bonnamassa version, and again, it had a different slant.
The who covered it as well. Mose Allison wrote it in 1957.
Was at this! Superb!
People saying it's not as good as the who 😫 their not the who, their a bunch of guys having fun and rocking out, that's what it's all about! Would u rather have some X factor loser on the telly or these guys. Oh and I love the who with passion

Amen!...came here from the Isle of Wight and this was fun.

The Who absolutely destroyed every other band before or since. this is a good cover. The who was a excellent cover
.
Great comment. I like the Foos more for them being basically last big rock band than I do for their music, though they do have some solid songs.
Hey! Look at you! Look at me! Look at me! Get the FUCK out of my show! You don't come to my show to fight, you come to my show and fucking dance! xD Dave is awesome.
Stick to what you know in future lads, no-one can match The Who!
Studs Ramrod They aren't trying to match them. This is their rendition of the song.
incredible. cant say much else. I love them unconditionally
Dang that was excellent. Foo Fighters are my second favorite cover band, right after Green Day.
Pearl Jam is a good cover band too.
omg ive been trying to find this song :D i went to see them live in the itunes festival
Now the young man aint got nothing in the world these days
Leave The Fantastic Who Alone !!!!!!!!!
Fair play to these lot for having a go, just goes to show how good Pete townshend was on the guitar
and the rest of the Who....
@@heftosprod most people can’t even name all the Foos’ members. Everybody knew all the Who members.

It's not by the Who.
The Who didn’t write it.
They own it now and have for a long time.
I wish I could find them performing this song (or even the whole show) anymore, the Austin City Limits concert, any info?
If the Allman brothers had covered "Young Man Blues"; with only ONE drummer.

thanks for the cover !your drummer in this track is no worse than Keith Moon! I respect the drummer !
now listen to The Who Young Man Blues (Live At Leeds)
Me too‼️
No need to. The Who’s version was etched into my brain the first second and third time I listened to Live at Leeds the day I bought it
He can never be Keith Moon.
The Who only had one guitar and it still sounded better.
Sahara fire fox XD Foo Fighters don't have John Entwistle or Keith Moon 2
@@thewho6743 FF dont have anything vaguely approaching that
Ah good ol’ Mose Allison!
Almost got it, gentlemen...

People on here saying The Who wrote this song. 😂
Mose Allison.
Cover of a cover
super BIEN¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
The Who
@AHybridMonkey Who cover
time to be funny, time to pretend while your drummer find a new stick
The Who sounded like a hurricane, this sounds like a drizzle.
exactly -- total crap trying to pass themselves off as being long term cool -- when they are just flash in the pan

Nice cover of The Who (Mose Allison too) - but nowhere as good.

But it´s one guitar, played by Pete Townshend! Of course it would be better
Nice 🎸 (but the who is the who )
Most of these kids have no idea this is a Who song! 😹
I don't see the point, you will never play it better than The Who, or as well.
Thing about The Who was they were always on the edge of chaos. That is where real excitement & creativity happen (ref. Jordan Peterson)
Man... 3 guitars that don´t do a good job of only ONE GIBSON that Townshend used to play when Who cover this song on Live At Leeds! #ShameOnYou
Song made great by The Who, not done justice by the F.F.'s (and I'm a fan of boh. Over contrived, and nowhere near the sheer raw power and virtuosity of The Who, live. Listen to their performance at the Isle of Wight. Nuff said

etika
This is an awful version by an awful band. The Live at Leeds version can"t be touched.
I love the Foo, but this is not good. Have you heard the Joe Bonamassa version?
I totally agree
i prefer the live at isle of white festival version
Agree. Grohl really makes a fool of himself here, especially with his singing ...
dave grohl cant sing !!!
Mr Moon smiles from above
how embarrassing
Absolutely not impressed.The Who were The Who.And they really had steam on it.And Keith always a feast for the eyes on the drums.These are weak guys.
Fred Weiss lol, weak guys. These are modern day rock and roll legends. Dave Grohl is almost worth 300 mil and was part of Nirvana which had a diamond selling record with Nevermind. Smh.
@@bubbasernie5762 little more than corporatised frat rock is the FF. Cobain wouldve loathed them too.
Shit....
Nah, it's all about that bloke who broke his leg and his massive ego. The Who was a collective of individuals who liked playing R&B.
Yeah. There were no massive egos at all in The Who. ;-) Anyhow, this was ok but pales in comparison to The Who.
They obviously have talent, why did they have to imitate, (badly) The Who, Live At Leeds version?

Holy crap...all you Foo fans need to go watch The Who Live At Leeds version to see how this should be played....this is fucking horrible
Good but not even close to the Who !!
Sorry America, but this is poor. Terrible vocals, Daltrey at 100 is better.
Such a weak voice and pitiful guitar tone. But good tribute tho
2:09 - What the hell was that??? “And a young man and a young man and a young man and a young man and a young man.” I quit watching. I’m going over to watch The Who’s version. The REAL version.

I think this is a great cover. I think it blows Bonamassa out of the water, I think its better than The Who at Leeds. Just sayin.
No accounting for taste.
Nah you right lol. Obviously the who rock it it's Thier song lol. But this was definitely a very nice cover.
Seems to me they are trying to hard to impress. The Who impressed, but it came out as a smooth natural flow of energy.
This is the biggest brainfart of all time for me who wrote this ? He is so unknown that might as well have buried him along with trotsky.
Cute version. The Who did it so much more powerful.
It's a no for me dog.
Dave, you can try many things but not this. This is crap. The Who was soo good
Wow. Not even close to The Who. Sounds like a garage band.
this is terrible
