Met Mr Daltrey a couple of years ago at Charing Cross Station while waiting for a train...believe he was coming back from a day at Wimbledon, had seen him guest at a Weller gig in the woods at Pinerum Forest Preserve the previous weekend ... was a total gent, funny & self effacing sense of humour, more than happy to expend 5 minutes chatting to a total fan... always great when ur legends turn out to be even more awesome than you dared to hope LoL
One of THE BEST EVER... as a Led Zeppelin devotee, this Who album would still be my choice for "the one" album to go into the Time Capsule, or with a Space Mission to the Stars.
Who’s Next - a true classic album that was one great song after another! Saw the band twice - once with Keith Moon and once after his passing. That was a rock and roll band!
Of course the band would nail at, but at that age, I was a little worried how Roger would sound, but, wow, I agree, his voice certainly sounded older but GREAT!
I thought he sounded absolutely terrible, I've listened to this record several times over the last year so I have a clear vision of the original soundtrack. This was awful.
@@danman6669 Like many old boxers who return pass their prime and it turns out to be a mistake. Well, they should have just walked off in the Sunset. It is time for Roger Daltrey to retire.
@user-zy1hh2wb6g you my friend, are completely clueless. His voice has changed and the raw emotion in this version is phenomenal. If you've only listened to a couple of studio tracks, you really have no idea what you're talking about. That's not live music. Daltrey in particular has a fantastic range, depth and tone that really can only be appreciated in the flesh. I'd suggest you put away spotify and invest your money where real coniseurs do... Seeing these artists live!
I love The Who. Pete and Roger still going strong after all these years. Thankfully, they are still here and they sound great. Saw them many times in concert. What a nice surprise to see them on The Late Show tonight.
Did anyone see Pete Townsend's Psychoderelict tour? ~ Pete did 2 full sets of acoustic Who songs AND the Rock Opera ~ seriously almost 4 hours of killer live music 🎶🎵 it was great
@Morse Dregs OMG I saw him at the Berkeley Community Theater, too. 🤙 That was one of the best live music shows I've ever seen...the venue was small and intimate. Where did you live?
@@catherinefisher8534 No, but l would have loved to! I happen to love Psychoderilict, but my all time favorite album is Consequences by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley, so my taste and opinion can certainly be called into question. 🌎 🌬️ 🌊 🔥
Was lucky enough to see them in concert in the SF area around 20 yrs ago. From growing up with them to hearing them now, they will always have a special place. It makes it a little easier getting old when you see your rock idols wearing comfortable shoes
I wanna go so bad!!!! Just can't do it. I've seen them 12 times in 50 years, first time in 1971, most recent 2016....I adore these guys and will be cheering them on from home when they arrive in Seattle in October....fantastic!!!
is that due to body parts wearing out like me .. i wanted to see Genesis's last ever gig last month in London, but my body simply wasn't up to it. The mind was willing but the body was too weak.. arthritic pain.
@@MultiPetercool I do envy you!! You not only get to go see them, you have a son you get to bring! I wish you both a fabulous time...(your son is lucky to have you, too!)
@@bonnie43uk Nope. I'm 70, fit as a fiddle but an emotional disaster from a broken brain and precious old doggie with no one else to care for her like I can. Roger and Pete will be adored from afar!
Ha! Yeah right. He has most certainly aged. Why don’t you point to the iconic photos of the band where Pete is sitting through the whole song while smashing his guitar. Don’t be so deluded.
@@Duckhead3000 Exactly. Plenty of more talented guitarists out there, technically speaking. Not one of them ever hit my ears and heart like Townshend did though. The man really gets what music is about, and what it means to us.
Yeah, I doubt they could perform it with the same energy as they once did, so they've rejiggered it a little to fit what they can do. While I do prefer the older versions, I prefer this option to simply not performing it at all.
@@StarkRG The song is still exquisite. Townsend has the easier job as a guitarist's fingers don't age as obviously as vocal cords. Daltrey's voice is much weaker, but bless him for trying, anyway.
Their smile at the end of the song says everything. Mr. Colbert looks very happy as well to announce the living legends in the old simple classic way! Very cool. The Who 4 Life!
Grew up listening to The Who and I think it is utterly sad to put down on some of the best musicians ever, just because they have aged. They are iconic and always will be! Keep on Rockin in the Free World!!!
@G Walker well you could just accept that the limp bizkit version is a tribute to this mighty song, but sure just keep bitching on. you surely understand appreciation better than any of us, lol
As humans age, Voices change.. something about hearing this song sung in a older mans voice hits differently with that extra something kind of emotion.. It went from young guys singing about the wild life they’re about to live to singing about the wild life they did live..
@@DARWINZOO I think I like this version more than the original recording.. it’s like how when Johnny cash covered the NIN song hurt. the emotions in the song go to the core yet this band just preformed one of their own songs and somehow hit me like a ton of bricks in a new way..
that scream in .. "wont get fooled again" is one of the great segments in rock. I doubt if Roge could pull it off today. Great they still sound good though.. what a performance.
First seen The Who in 1975. I was 14 an worked at a Pizza joint (my 1st job!) which gave me the money($8.00) a ticket to get two tickets for my brother,who was 23, an myself. Only reason I was allowed to go because my brother went too. Saw Pete, Roger, Keith, & John that night and it was, and still is, the best concert of my life! Seen them 10 other times over the years including Movin On tour which I took my wife and two girls to see in 2019. It was a great thrill to see them again so many years later with my kids! Will do it all again in a few weeks with the wife an kids and can't wait! LONG LIVE ROCK!!
Oh, so happy to see them in their latest incarnation. They still have it. I got to see their "last" American gig in 1982 before retiring from the third row.Brilliant show, of course.
Am I mistaking it for an accordion? Anyway..I can picture this song being played in many a pub from even before the days of rock and roll. It captures the essence of human emotion so good.
@@kennethshort2016 it's a kind of accordeon with buttons instead of keys like on a piano. The other difference is that each button plays a different not depending on whether the bellows are being pushed or pulled. Not the easiest instrument to play well.
Humm last year or the year before the Teen Cancer Trust show was livestreamed because of Rona. Not sure about this year. It will pop up on some channels this week i guess.
Outstanding! Just perfect in it's imperfection! I'm waiting on baited breath to see them again when the come back to Toronto this fall. Finest band in the world!
I feel fortunate that I got to see them 30+ years ago. Even then I considered them old when I saw them at the old Meadowlands stadium when they played the entire Tommy album for the first half of the show and then played the rest of their hits the 2nd half. Ox was still alive then too but sadly not Moon the Loon. Great show with Kenny Jones on drums. The music is timeless.
THE WHO have always been the most wonderful combination of raw power rock performance, incredible voice harmonies and great lyrics. I'm thankful to to have come of age at the same time as them.
Very emotional !! watching and listening to this iconic band and i love this song, there only a few years older than me. AMAZING !!! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗💕💞♥️💟♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
These guys are freaking amazing. Went to my first show in 1982 as a senior in high school. Seeing them tonight at TQL in Cincinnati. Their first appearance here in 40 years. Can’t wait!
I have been involved in music for over 55 years... There are only a handful of songs that I have liked the first time I heard them... This one is at the top of my list... Mr. Townsend, if you can hear me across the Internet, I want to thank you for this song... Above all the others, you have captured how I have felt for most of my life... and yes, I have blue eyes...
I spent many hours in the same room as the original four WHO listening to a most wonderful noise. I love this arrangement of BBE. I met Roger many years ago for a little chat at Tanglewood and he couldn't have been more gracious and interesting. What a great musical legacy this band has. I will never figure out most of John's bass parts.....way beyond me.
The Who ~ St. Paul Civic Center.. 4-30-80. ..my 1st. concert Ever!!! main floor seats.. Blackfoot was their backup band~ I Was 13yrs old. This concert.. set the stage for the rest of my life!! Dope As Hell - Stephen!!!!! 🙌⛩️🕉️☯️⚛️⛩️🙌.
Amazing, Roger is 78 & Pete is 76 years old. Definitely a blast from the past. Rock icons.
Yep! So sad Kieth and John aren't with us anymore. )
And Pete will be turning 77 on May 19th of this year!
Indeed !
Considering neither of them can hear worth a crap anymore, this performance was pretty great!
Def should have stayed icons

Feels good to read something like this about one of my idols.
The Who! Talk about iconic. They're still rockin' the world!
Not the same without Moon on drums, but otherwise okay.
One of the best of 1971. The classics live on, spectacularly.
One of THE BEST EVER... as a Led Zeppelin devotee, this Who album would still be my choice for "the one" album to go into the Time Capsule, or with a Space Mission to the Stars.

I don't know if the tears I shed are for them being still together or my own mortality.

Roger Daltrey's hoarse voice is beautiful. It gave me chill bumps.

@@HynoDesignsvIII He's not young anymore. Give him a break. Just be glad he's still with us to sing, even if his voice isn't as great as it once was.

Saw them at Glastonbury a few years back. They were still incredible. Roger belted out Love, Reign O'er Me like a boss.
I'm so jealous!!
I would have loved to have seen that!
My heart literally swells thinking about Roger + age plus Love, Reign Over Me live. This song is how love feels.
I love this group. One of my favorite songs.
One of those ones where you want it played on your deathbed. And I mean that in a good way 😁
They seem so comfortable and at ease knowing the fans realize its ok to unplug and still enjoy these great songs!
Teenage Cancer Trust is a wonderful charity. Thank you The Who! 👋👋
Beautiful to see The Who together and rocking after all these years. The memories!
My fav band ever. Still sounding good enough at 70+
They still got it ❤️
Roger Daltrey will always be my favorite rock singer. God bless Roger and Pete!
Was lucky enough to see them in concert in the SF area around 20 yrs ago. From growing up with them to hearing them now, they will always have a special place.
It makes it a little easier getting old when you see your rock idols wearing comfortable shoes
Amazing, there are people in the group who weren't born when this song came out. They are great as usual.
It raises the question: who are The Who?
And the answer is, of course, Who are The Who.
I watched Quadrophenia in a movie theater in Brighton and in the film they ran down the exact street.
Surreal
@@daddymuggle Third base
I actually was there it was unreal I cried my eyes out
I saw them on my 21st birthday for their final tour! Im 48 years old now. I love the band so I am glad they keep doing final tours!

I’ll be 62 this year. Going to see them in Seattle with my 18 year old son. We’ll be in the nosebleed section but it will be worth it!
@@MultiPetercool I do envy you!! You not only get to go see them, you have a son you get to bring! I wish you both a fabulous time...(your son is lucky to have you, too!)

Awesome to hear them still playing, saw them on the Tommy tour in Hollywood...A long time ago!
My absolute favorite band when I was a teenager. 💖💖💖
Still mine
Classic, just classic!
Pete Townshend doesn't age! I love the chord progression in this song.
He is 76
He is my favorite guitar player. There are many better guitar players but not many that can write a song like Pete. My hero
Ha! Yeah right. He has most certainly aged. Why don’t you point to the iconic photos of the band where Pete is sitting through the whole song while smashing his guitar. Don’t be so deluded.
@@Duckhead3000 Exactly. Plenty of more talented guitarists out there, technically speaking. Not one of them ever hit my ears and heart like Townshend did though. The man really gets what music is about, and what it means to us.
Saw the Who 2x in the 70's. My ears are still ringing. We're all aging with you. Thanks for the tunes
Oh my God! The Who! On Colbert! Am I dreaming? They will rock forever!
Brings me back to the day. The Who were my 1st concert in 1980.
You always remember your first…
Wow is it me or is it clear from how they sound they are certainly old now but damn that was still a good song
Yeah, I doubt they could perform it with the same energy as they once did, so they've rejiggered it a little to fit what they can do. While I do prefer the older versions, I prefer this option to simply not performing it at all.

@@serendipityshopnyc Roger had a pre-cancerous growth taken from his throat. That and his age means his voice isn't going to sound the same.
@John Dew See above....
Good music and great artists are timeless.
Wow. I am blown away. Thank you.
9 years since i was introduced to this amazing band long live rock
Timeless....
I grew up on The Who in the early 80s. The headphones with Baba O Riley...
Pete is great lead guitarist. He is a virtuoso on acoustic.
100% agree with this, his fingerpicking is unbelievable
Their smile at the end of the song says everything. Mr. Colbert looks very happy as well to announce the living legends in the old simple classic way! Very cool. The Who 4 Life!
HELL YES!!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!! Thanks, Cobert
I saw them in 1968 when they were first getting started they rocked then, they rock now.!!
As soon as I saw they were on, I pulled up my ROCKin’ chair.
Grew up listening to The Who and I think it is utterly sad to put down on some of the best musicians ever, just because they have aged. They are iconic and always will be! Keep on Rockin in the Free World!!!
Took me a second to get used to this version and Roger's timbre, it has matured so well and the little variations he chooses suit it perfectly!
An all time favorite ❤️
Great way to end the show. Love the WHO and Roger's voice is strong even now. All the best to him, Pete & their band for their tour ❤️
I'm so happy to see this! Still sounding good for their age.
No, its not a Limp Bizkit song!!
The limp bizkit version i had no issue with, but nothing beats the original, nothing.
Is Limp Bizkit another old timey band?
@G Walker well you could just accept that the limp bizkit version is a tribute to this mighty song, but sure just keep bitching on. you surely understand appreciation better than any of us, lol
We pretend durst never ruined this song
@@Esrom_music no, just a shitty band from the late 90’s/early 00’s
Man do I love weeping like a baby while watching my phone at work! Strong work brothers! 💪

It went from young guys singing about the wild life they’re about to live to singing about the wild life they did live..

This song works well at any age.
Lovely rendition but my god the best part of that song is when the electric guitar comes in at full force!
Yes! I kept waiting. Miss the exciting, rock & roll ending.
Thanks guys! You’re music has been an inspiration for my whole life! When I release my first album I’ll have some Townsend inspired solos!
Damn! I’m only 64 & I’m impressed they remember the words!
These guys' smiles at the end of the perfomance 🥰
One of the best bands ever! Definitely a see-in-concert if you can!
Gonna see them in May in Boston.. can't wait!!
I can not wait to catch them next week!!!!!
They NEVER disappoint Live… always so moving… my heroes.. always
They're still incredible!❤️❤️❤️
I was there for this! They put on an amazing show x
Thumbs up for the Who.
They are still amazing.

I fall in love with this hit by legion Tv series 😍
WOW, incredible!!! I saw The Who in the Pontiac Silverdome in 1981. It's so good to see them here!
One of the best songs they ever did, a classic ,

Outstanding! Just perfect in it's imperfection! I'm waiting on baited breath to see them again when the come back to Toronto this fall. Finest band in the world!
Love them so much
Saw, and heard them live at Wembley in 1979. Legends then, and now. Sensational.
I feel fortunate that I got to see them 30+ years ago. Even then I considered them old when I saw them at the old Meadowlands stadium when they played the entire Tommy album for the first half of the show and then played the rest of their hits the 2nd half.

The best rock band in the world.
These gentlemen inspire me
Outstanding & Timely !!!
Thanks LSSC !
Long Live The Who🎸🎶
Rog and Pete! Sounding great! My last concert was Who, October 13, 2019 at the Hollywood Bowl. Also December 8, 1971 at San Diego Sports Arena.
The Royal Albert Hall is such an iconic venue, mainly used to classical concerts. i saw Henry Mancini perform there in about 1974.
These guys are freaking amazing. Went to my first show in 1982 as a senior in high school. Seeing them tonight at TQL in Cincinnati. Their first appearance here in 40 years. Can’t wait!
