"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Totally iconic coda in rock history. What a mike drop!
I'm not the hugest Who fan, but that's one of the best lines ever written. So simple, but really poignant. Anyway, this song kicks ass.
100%
Pretty cool the way Shon picked up the meaning of the song after just the first couple of verses. This performance was being filmed at Shepperton Studios near London for a movie by The Who called "The Kids Are Alright". In the studio next to where this was being filmed, the movie "Alien" was being filmed. The cast and crew of "Alien" took a break and went to watch The Who concert in the studio next door. They liked the laser show at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again so much, they ended up borrowing The Who's laser equipment and used it in the movie "Alien". So next time you're watching Alien, be sure to keep an eye out for The Who's lasers!
dude NAILED IT fast
Very impressive most people don't even listen to the lyrics let alone put the whole story together.
60 year old white guy from Kansas here man definitely throw the studio version on your playlist. In fact that whole album on your playlist. You can't go wrong. And it actually has pretty good sequencing.😊
Great song but would recommend the studio version first. I really like their early stuff from the 60's-70's. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century & have sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have so many great songs such as "I Can't Explain", "The Kids Are Alright", "My Generation", "Magic Bus", "Substitute", "I Can See For Miles", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Baba O'Riley", "Boris The Spider", "Pictures Of Lily", "Pinball Wizard" etc.
Guitarist Pete Townsend of the Who wrote much of their songs including the Iconic 1970 hit, "WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN" Against Political Propaganda..
Almost every song by The Who is like a mini concert. Especially the early years. Pete Townshend is some kinda genius.
The energy! The message! The musicianship! Love it!!
Perfect version of this insane song. They were always best live.
Pete Townshend never disappoints. Smashing his guitar.
finally someone who actually understands the words to this song. thank you so much
The most significant line in any song, “meet the new boss, same as the old boss “.
Some other amazing Who songs to react to: I Can’t Explain, Love Reign O’er Me, Behind Blue Eyes, Magic Bus, I Can See For Miles, Baba O’Riley, Eminence Front, You Better You Bet and many more I went to one of their so called ‘last’ concerts in Toronto ‘83. It was fantastic!
Did you know that The Who also provided the title songs for the original CSI ("Who Are You"), CSI:Miami ("Won't Get Fooled Again") and CSI:New York (Baba O'Reilly")? It's actually what sold me into watching the series -- any producer who'd choose one of my favorite bands from my early teens was all right in my books. 🙂
The smashing up of the instruments at the end signifies perfectly the message of the song. It's a song driven by anger and frustration. This is one of The Who's finest tracks, and they all give it their very best here in front of an adoring live audience, and live music is always the best (for me). Pete Townshend (lead guitar, backing vocals & songwriter) Roger Daltrey on lead vocals, the greatest ever rock bass guitar John Entwhistle (RIP) and the legendary drummer, Keith 'animal' Mood (RIP) were one of the UK's greatest rock bands of the '70's and '80's. Check out their brilliant hit. 'Baba O'Reilly' too if you can Shon. God bless.
That is a Gibson Les Paul one of the most used guitars in hard rock as well as a Fender Stratocaster usually played through a marshall amplifier One of a Kind sound keep up the videos love you expanding your mind to different genres of music
They sound pretty good through Hiwatt anps too.
And they're HEAVY.
And hardest to tune! Watch Joe Walsh tunes guitar.
Man, I am just discovering your channel and am on a binge -- just have to say I love how much of the lyrics you catch on every song. I've watched a lot of reactions to The Who over the years, and NO ONE ever hears "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Nicely done, sir 👏❤
I love The Who! One of my favorite Who songs. Roger Daltry’s scream is epic! Thanks for the reaction. ☮️❤️😎
important and great historical rock song and group The Who is that all my favorite rock music came from the 60s and 70s i hope more young people listen too this music its really great
My first concert ever was The Who in 1989. And is still the best concert I have ever seen.
This band has many, many dozens of hit songs. Plug your nose, and jump into the rabbit hole.
And welcome to the British Invasion!!
Guitarist is Pete Townsend, that's a Gibson Les Paul, arguably the greatest electric guitar ever made; he beat the ever loving dog snot out of his guitars; that guitar likely didn't survive; and that drummer is Keith Moon, absolute madman, truly, his crazy stories are legendary...like driving cars into pools and blowing up his drums, live on national TV, with too much gun powder (it's on YT)...madman!
Roger Daltry on vocals and Pete Townsend on guitar. He was famous for often smashing his guitar on stage.
It was a time of social revolution Shon. Boomers, black and white, were flipping over the tables of social norms. Had we not, many of us would not have the personal freedom to be who we are now. It was a great time!
Pete Townshend’s energy is a great example of what cocaine can do for you lol
I am very glad that new generations understand the message of this song!
The guitar Pete Townsend is playing is a Gibson Les Paul. If you watch the full concert movie, you'll see a number on each Les Paul because each one is either specially tuned for one song or set up for a specific sound. He has multiple Les Pauls that he uses. I have been to 3 Who concerts at Madison Square Garden going back to the mid-1970s. I also play guitar and can play Who songs.
Actually, contemporaries of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and the Kinks.
They were an established and adult band by this time with a mission and the means and the ability ❤🎉❤to get there.
Meet the new boss,
Same as the old boss 😮
At least in Germany, the tv series "CSI" uses songs of The Who as theme songs. The song "Won't Get Fooled Again" is the theme song of "CSI - Miami", while "Who Are You?" is played on "CSI - Las Vegas". And then we have "CSI - New York" with the track "Baba O'Riley" by the Who.
the who live at Leeds magic bus banger.
The guitar that Peter Townsend played during his live performances was a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe (modified with a DiMarzio pickup)
another good video is the Who on the Smothers Brothers show where they do a short interview before the song My Generation-with a surprise ending!!
This band is amazing
Next you should do studio versions of Who are you and Baba O'Reilly
Another cool band is the doors
Try studio versions as well of LA woman and roadhouse blues
Would love to see your take on all of them when you have time
Loving your reactions!!
Now check out another great group during this time, Yes.
These four albums came out in 1971:
1. Yes, Fragile
2. The Who, Who’s Next
3. Led Zeppelin, Zeppelin 4
4. Jethro Tull, Aqualung
The Who predate Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. They where part of the first British Invasion of the USA with the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Kinks, Animals, Hollies and Yardbirds!
The Who was one of the top bands in the world of Rock and Roll at this time, put on a great show with theatrics as much a component as their music. There were many sad and controversial components to their story though, The drummer, who was fun to watch, but crazy as a loon did not make it to his 28th birthday, dyeing of a heroin overdose. If you want to see another iconic example of them in their prime, watch the video for the song, Magic Bus. They were right up there back then with Cream, The Beatles, Rolling Stones etc. but, I remember they preferred to play in England and to audiences in Europe. They were very big though and made a lot of money and gave a hellluva show when they showed up.
That guitar is a Gibson Les Paul but on the studio version, he wound up playing a Gretsch given to him by Joe Walsh. Pete Townshend , the guitarist , said a guitar that is great live and for the stage is much different than when they were in the studio. The Chet Atkins Gretsch guitar was the perfect studio guitar to record this song
Wow, apparently Joe Walsh was really into giving cool guitars to his fellow musicians, lol! I think he turned Jimmy Page on to Les Pauls by giving him one of those right after Zep's debut album! Good call on that!
@joescott8877 I always thought he was using the Gibson SG on "Who's Next", but Pete said it was really this Gretsch that did it for the studio. Which are overlooked guitars if you ask me, the pick ups on the guitars are not just for country. Pete proved that! 🙂
I finally can play this 100% on the drums but god damn Keith moon just goes ham for eight and a half minutes straight
Pete Townsend on guitar
And that, my good man, is The Who. Loudest rock band in the world for a while (maybe still, dunno lol). Welcome to the revolution kid. 🤘🏼😄
Several people have said you should listen to the studio version first, which might be good from a purely musical aspect, but The Who are a very visual band and half the pleasure of watching them is to laugh and smile at Moon the Loon on drums ( Keith Moon is widely accepted to have been the inspiration for Animal in The Muppet Show), and to wish you had been there watching them live.
Agreed but we're watching that as fans who already know the song. For someone listening for the first time I definitely think the studio version would be the right way to go imo.
@@blitz3643
I really can't decide in this case as both have their advantages - I often think reactors need to do the original studio version, a good live video, and then for some artists another live video when the artist is much older - thinking of Simon and Garfunkel, Heatwave, Boz Scaggs, Madness and many old soul acts from Motown, Stax etc
@@samolevski1119Most reactors don't do more than 1 version of a song (there are exceptions of course) so I've always felt they would get the true sound of the song by doing studio. It also enables them to hear the lyrics easier and follow what the song is actually about. I guess it's all a matter of personal preference.
Part of a killer rock concert in the late '70s was the light show. Lasers were fairly new. That what you saw. Checkout Blue Oyster Cult. They had the best laser show by far until the government stepped in and stopped it for fear of burning out someones eyeball.
The guitar is a Gibson Les Paul. Iconic.
Do the studio version to get the full effect of this song and the insane drumming by Mr Moon.
And not one, but two epic screams from Roger Daltry. (This performance only has the second and longer one). Still, the studio version doesn’t match the energy that this one does.
@@scottNNJDo you remember his scream in the beginning before he starts to sing? I think it's been erased in the studio version.
To answer your question, I think Pete Townshend was playing a heavily modified Gibson Les Paul here. On the studio version of this song, I have read that he played a Gretsch Country Gentleman, which even by the name you wouldn't think would have a great rock sound, but it does! You won't be disappointed if you decide to check the studio version...or any other song on that epically great album that featured this song, "Who's Next". That album doesn't have anything but great songs.
Thank you young man what a blessing you are now you understand my culture in England ❤❤❤❤
Listen to the studio version. One of the greatest hard rock songs/recordings ever! They were great live, but the studio version is an amazing creation.
Awesome reaction! Glad you did this live performance , its amazing! Certain bands I think need to see their live performances and The Who is one of them. You learn so much about them and I think they give better versions on the song but the studio version definitely worth listening cause some parts are so clear and amazing on that.
You now gotta do "The Who - Baba O'Riley (Shepperton Studios / 1978)" from the same concert
My first concert ever.
And still the best.
😀
Shon was on to what these gentlemen were singing about right away.
Man you GOT to do a reaction of The Warning!! Do any song off live at the Teatro Mexico, highly recommend the song “When I’m Alone”, also “Queen of The murder scene”, you will be blown away by this band I promise!
Pete Townshend (guitarist) is also the songwriter, and you got it right: he's the heart and soul of the band. These guys are special, and I hope you'll dive in. Meanwhile, this performance is up there in my top three, ever, along with Dire Straits (Sultans of Swing, Alchemy Tour) and the full version of Santana (Soul Sacrifice) at Woodstock. Special!
I bought this album in 1971. It is most favorite album of all time. Cant say which album is the best but this one is my most favorite.
Start with the studio version
The studio version can be found on their most iconic album;...... Who;s Next
Check out their performance of ‘Young Man’s Blues’ from the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.. You won’t be disappointed!
Glad this popped up in my feed. Yeah I think you got most of it. And it's really something just to see how much energy they had and I don't know if you caught it, but Rodger Daltrey the lead singer, he was swinging that microphone around by the cable in the most dangerous and destructive way, and yet it fit with the energy of it and I've seen other live performances of this and it's always different. It's not like the same thing every time. That whole album and their live performance of it really kind of opened the door for all kinds of things.
The movie Tommy was a rock opera done by The Who. I highly recommend it.
The guitar is a Gibson, this particular guitar is one of Townsend personal favorites the wine red #5.
Häppy to see so mäny The Who fans! And that Shon liked it as well! 😊
The whole album is great. "Who's Next" by The Who is the name of the album.
In 1979 concert in Cincinnati Ohio people rush to get in resulting in 11 deaths.
'Effin rock and roll Sir!
They are a british band
Baba O"Reielly
Glad the algo fed me this reaction--my first with you but not my last, i'm sure! You mentioned Zeppelin, so i'm psyched to see any reactions you may have to my favorite band! The Who is right up there on my list as well, and you have SO much awaiting you, dude! Pete Townshend, the "energetic" guitarist, is any many ways the brains behind this epically talented group. Deep lyrics? Sheee-it, you ain't heard the half of his words, lol! "Behind Blue Eyes," "I can see for miles," "Who are you," "5:15" Many more...and ...they all ROCK!!!
The album Who's Next is in a way like Boston's 1st, every song was a hit. Pete Townsend's windmill shred is so fkn iconic and he always smashed his guitar. It may be an urban legend that Frank Zappa used the parts to build his own guitar.
60 years later, we're still getting fooled...
This song was 70s but they were around in the 60s too. Check out My Generation or Substitute from 65.
Constitution need no Changing , Just needs be Followed.
Yep. Pretty much every reaction should be the studio version first.
So much better live!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pete Townsend is playing a Gibson Les Paul.
I Roger Daltry He is well-known for doing that. Scream in pete townsend for destroying his guitar
Coming from the 60s and now I'm in my 60s. I'm still have that rebellious attitude I have issues with atore authority. You should check out baba o'reilly
Jimi Hendrix - Message to Love (Live). You won't regret it!
effing enjoyed that a ton. alpha tier sonic material. Really cool band, super talented, pretty eclectic 🤘A suggestion as well! October Ends' new song is on a whole other level. You should react to their new song! 🔥
Perfect reaction for a perfect song.
The Who had to cancel their UK tour during Covid lockdowns. They were due to do a USA tour last year (2022). I don’t know if that happened.
Great reaction
I highly recommend checking out The Who - A Quick One (While He's Away) from The Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus
Another great one!
Check out the Temptations, Ball Of Confusion. Talk about a song written in 1970 that could have been written yesterday.
the more things change, the more they stay the same.
The WHO are one of my favourite bands and I’ve been lucky enough to see them live in concert. There are so many songs of theirs you can react to such as My Generation, Who are You, Substitute, Pictures of Lily , The kids are Alright and You Better You Bet. Plus there’s Baba O,Reilly. You really need to The Who’s version then check out the version by The Blue Man Group live on Americas Got Talent.
My favorite band of all time. So many great songs.
perfect analysis!!! dude. "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!"
I think Pete is playing a "Les Paul" a lot of those 60s rockers loved that guitar made by Gibson in the USA
Great reaction to a fantastic song.
Great response..and interpstion 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
all 4 csi shows used the who songs as their theme tunes.
who are you-csi:crime scene investigation (2000-2015)
won't get fooled again-csi miami (2002-2012)
baba o'riley(2004-2013)
i can see for miles-csi cyber(2015-2016)
lead singer roger daltry had a cameo as a master of diguise criminal in 1 of them.
they also did a rock opera called tommy that became a film with cameos from elton john and tina turner
Should have went for the original studio version in the first instance.
Guitar player wrote most of their stuff. What if... Someone reacted to concert AND studio versions of iconic songs?! You heard it here first!
Your insight is phenomenal ❤
Great comments, Dude. You're right on target.
Shon, ask your parent's what songs or groups they bumped in their cars as early adults. Do some reactions on a few of their favorites.
The guitar brand never mattered because it was likely to get destroyed in concerts. He and the drummer Keith Moon the Loon broke a LOT! Add in Keith destroying hotel room and pools as well ) They are on the top list of my bands forever!
Roger tells the story of Keith Moon driving his Rolls Royce through the front door of their hotel up to the reception desk and asking for his room key !
And Pete tells how he was relaxing in his room when the wall was smashed through and Keith’s head appeared in the hole, asking if he fancied a drink!!!
Epic rock’n’roll behaviour!
#replay Best ever rock scream at the end there. I prefer them live to the studio recordings, incredible power & energy they have. Check out a live version of Baba O'Riley, it's❤🔥
If you're into that song and you watch old TV (old, OLD TV) It's the theme for CSI Las Vegas I believe.
Hey Shon, big fan of The Who... Great reaction and you did a great job on your first listen. And your totally right about their being a deeper message in the lyrics. This is a "rock anthem" and is about the futility of political revolutions and how they fail to bring about any real political change. Here's another suggestion, if interested. The Who - Behind Blue Eyes (1971)" (Live) (by the channel: fkwk101)
One more from Hendrix. Power To Love (Live). Nothing like him never been duplicated. Amazing talent!! Enjoy...
He talking about the world leader ours too...don't get fooled again.....
The sound is more determined by the guitar player than the guitar being played. Hendrix or Van Halen or Pete here will sound like themselves on just about anything they pick up.
Bunch of people saying just how cool and influential this band was/is; these cats are still considered one of the loudest live bands in the history of live concerts, in fact, there are noise volume laws at most venues now that prohibit the volume these crazy mf's reached, like 125 db+, which is like standing next to a commercial jet airliner as it takes off, like hearing damage level volume, frr
What you are hearing from Pete Townshend is a customized Les Paul through old school tube amps cranked up to full volume. The Who were known as the loudest rock band in history, regularly playing at an average of 110dB - i.e. permanent ear damage levels. There are some sounds from a guitar that you can only get at stupid big volume and he did it. And he didn't give a F#@4 about the guitar or its materiality - Just eff it. He played the music and left it out there.
Grew up listening to The Who... you have to try Pinball Wizard!
