Pretty gutsy move by Townshend to do the windmill given the fact that his hand is bandaged from when he was impaled by the pitchbar on his guitar doing the exact same move.
@@rodneylee4026 I concur I was wondering. I think I avoided listening to live for this reason. LOve his playing on the more cerebral Pete stuff though and many others.

@YouzTube99 I really like the contrast between Townshend and Entwistle. Both have great Musicianship but love seeing Pete going crazy on stage with the music while John stands there like a badass playing his bass.
@@marokokisetter yeah, i actually snatched some suspenders because of him wearing them in this concert, but mostly my fashion style is influenced by John, the best dressed guy in the band
@Juan Pancho Oh yeah! Through this period he played with The Who a lot and was fantastic in Townshend's 'Deep End' band, e.g.: ruclips.net/video/LeXf90OGTHE/видео.html
Good drummer but didn't like him in the Who. His flow was not fitting for the songs. Kenny Jones was a better Keith replacement, though not the best either.

You could be right but I think he was a better fit for Toto and he was a monster for them. Without a doubt one of the best drummers ever to pick up a set of sticks.

Townshend was kind of fucked up on this tour. He'd had urethritis that wouldn't go away - that'll mess with everything - severe tinnitus in the ears, impaled his hand on the bender on his Strat and was having a hell of a time staying on the wagon. 45 is a hell of an age; first part of being over the hill and it hits with a vengeance until everything gets fine tuned again...which takes a few years.
I am a massive Simon Philips fan. No question, he's one of the greatest contemporary drummers. Technically gifted and superior in every way. I love everything he does - - - except this! He doesn't get it. No drummer does. Perhaps, I would argue that Kenny got it more (even though he is also technically lacking, as was Keith Moon). I know you have to come into and inject your own stamp, personality etc - but this song and the WHO are all about busy, messy drums that 'sing' the vocal parts. The endless busy fills, just under the verse - is what's all about. It's not about just keeping the tempo on this. Mooney wasn't a patch on the trousers of Philips in terms of technique and all round playing - not in any universe - but he nailed this the way it was supposed to be played. So too did Kenny, mostly. That's why Mooney was a great drummer.
I agree with you about these 2 drummers, that have influenced me a lot since the 80s. Simon's drumming is awesome but he is simply unable (or rather unwilling) to emulate the "messy" or "loony" style of Keith ...
That's why he was Keith Moon, the perfect fit for the WHO and in a class of his own. Just like Simon Philips is. It's all about chemistry, passion and groove. It totally NOT about superiority, such BS.
You're an idiot. He's what made The Who so great. They were meant to sound raw & on the edge of total devastation! Simon makes it totally predictable. BORING...
Simon is a MONSTER. I saw this tour.
Saw them at Wembley arena on the same tour,seats were not great but I had the best view ever of the drummer he was unbelievable! Best live show ever !
I saw this tour at the Cotton Bowl! One of the best!

Damn Phillips is tight on those drums. Rip Keith Moon... The one and only.
Too tight for the two i always thought.

I was just thinking the same, lol.
Entwistle is standing in the airport shop browsing a magazine & Pete is out on the tarmac chasing after the plane.

I had no idea...
The Who should have held onto Simon Philips

Keith Moon is a Genius!
Simon Phillips is also a Genius.
Too bad this isn't Keith Moon.
What about Zak Starkey?

He was sober in 1989.

It's not that much different.
You seem to idealise something/somebody, just because it's the 'original'.
I love The Who but this sounds like a cover band version of the song. None of the energy of the early 1970's live version.
The horns were not needed but for some reason Pete wanted them?? Glad to see Pete be able to still do his jumps back in the late 90s
Simón is totally superior to Keith, musically and technically, Keith couldn’t keep the rhythm
That's why he was Keith Moon, the perfect fit for the WHO and in a class of his own. Just like Simon Philips is. It's all about chemistry, passion and groove. It totally NOT about superiority, such BS.
