Another of the many things I love about The Who - their Monty-Pythonesque sense of humour. How Pete jumps at Russell in the very last picture is just hilarious. xD
This is hysterical no matter how many times I see it ! It cut away for a moment, and when it came back Pete was ripping Keith's shirt. I would have loved to have seen what happened just before it.
I love the near chaos of this interview. This actually rarely happens on entertainment shows in general. And it isn't time sensitive, whether in the seventies up until now, there hasn't been that many. But like Crispin Glover or Andy Kaufman on David Letterman, or Norman Mailer on Dick Cavett, although there are funny moments, there are rarely times you think it might go too out of control.
@@thecolourrose9022 Alcohol just made John age quicker than the rest of them. By 1993, John Looked like he was in his seventies and Roger looked 30, and they were both 40.
@@ianmcnally7755 my question was about Keith’s sobriety in the interview. The original comment alluded to Pete being drunk and Keith being his charming self. Not sure what you’re referring to
John adored Keith...Pete and Roger loved him too, but Keith was John's best mate, because John was just as devilish, but he let Keith take it and run with it - but he was the one, as he said, was the one 5:55 "providing Keith the matches".
Perfectly true about John providing the matches! John being just as crazy! But he wouldn't destroy his expensive rare basses! It was how Peter Criss and Ace were tight, with Criss enabling Ace!
Pete has set himself apart from the rest of the band, as the songwriter, saying he has "something going for him" i.e. more money. Keith realises that he should be with Pete, the money maker, and moves across. Roger says "Scab!" which is British slang for someone who breaks a strike and returns to work. Keith realises he's out of order and returns to the "union" of the non-songwriters in the band. All done in complete jest and with tongue firmly in cheek of course. 1970s British humour.
The musical elitist is just elitist GARBAGE that indicates a person who (even SEEING IT) knows absolutely nothing at all about rock and roll or REAL BANDS!!
Most of the rock bands dynamics in the 60's and 70's was all about the vocalist and the guitarrist!(Rolling Stones;Led Zeppelin;...).The Who were the only exception.The lead singer and guitar player were completely left in the shadow by the bass player and drummer!👍
Probably one of the most interesting interviews ever caught on film. You don't learn a damn thing (except that it maybe wasn't a good idea to be patronizing with the Who) but it's never boring. I saw this for the first time when 'The Kids Are Alright' had its original theatrical run and it keeps getting funnier and funnier. Timeless stuff.
Sadly this isn't quite the full interview. I recall Keith Moon holding and upturned cymbal and saying he was going to be sick into it, and also, when he did his stripping bit he made a reference (to his underpants, if my memory serves me) with the words.. "Interwoven pubics"..
The more I watch this interview the more details pop to my mind. Look at Keith biting John´s leg as well, but "The Ox" does not show any reaction at all. Then there is a moment when Pete seems to fear that Keith was going for his right ear. - This vid shows how close Pete and Keith really were.
I saw a 1980 interview with Graham Chapman and he said he wanted Keith to be in a pirate movie he was developing in the late 70s. Wouldn't that been hilarious?!!!
Keith was supposed to be in Life Of Brian as the Blood & Thunder prophet ("There will be a great rubbing of parts!"). He also missed out on the Graham Chapman film The Odd Job, where the main part was taken by David Jason.
No. It wasn't a BBC production. It was an LWT production, I think, as Harty was put in competition for audience ratings with Michael Parkinson's BBC1 Saturday night chat show.
Haha, I love when Keith and Pete are talking at the same time and you can't understand a word of it. This whole interview is awesome, they're such a mess! And lol at Pete jumping on Russell at the very end.
@@jeffkahl They also had Marshall amps at the very beginning when they were called "The High Numbers" and of course a mixture of other amps ( Vox ,Fender , Sunn, and of course Sound city which begot Hiwatt amps later on 🙂
If a band did this on a tv interview today, they'd be forced to make a public apology and go into "rehab" to save their careers and public image. Cause The "fans" would take to social media and rip them apart for not being total conformists.
Pedantic point - the Who performed their first gig with Moon on 2.5.64. This was recorded on 3.1.73, so they'd been together just over 8 and a half years.
He couldn't get a word in! Sometimes he was quiet, other times he was quite cheeky! He came into his own when Pete wasn't around because PT talked/talks a lot... He says he's quite shy but he doesn't seem it in solo interviews. He's lovely to talk to...
You're welcome :) You should also know that Russell Harty (the interviewer) was gay (he died in 1984) - so when Keith asks him "How long you been 'appily married then?" there is a subtext to that question, which is why Harty grimaces - again, all done in good humour with no malice intended. Harty was much-loved by everyone.
Keith was very blessed! I think you are just too blind to see it. :D He was a very talented musician with such a quick adoring wit and used his god given talents to earn million$ of dollar$ and besides, I love looking at him :DD & watching his video's :DDD When's the last time anyone said this about you, Ken from Dubliin? XDDDD
I remember seeing this interview at the time. Keith stripped down to his underpants and sat on Harty's lap, much to his embarrassment. Why has this bit been cut from every clip I've seen of this interview?
Indeed , and they've also permanently cut the section where Keith hoovers an eight inch line of freshly chopped out Columbian nostril dust up his hooter.
@metallideth83 Harty ays they are the longest surviving together group, and the camera quickly pans to Daltrey just as Keith Moon says "Well, we're not together."
I think he actually said “apart, not together”, as a play on the interviewer saying “apart from The Rolling Stones, you’re the longest surviving together group….”
Destiny ✝️ played a Big part in The Musical Journey of The Who! As with The Beatles! Both Groups 🎼🎵 Will carry on! Much like Bach, Beethoven & Mozart! They're 🎼🎶 will be Played & Performed 200 yrs. From Now!
Moon is like Crosby, talented but so attention seeking, little self worth. It's hard to watch this, knowing what a waste he became and was at this time. Too sad, Who Sad.
why the hell was russell harty so tightly wound, or is he like that all the time? regardless, the who kicked his ass and he just gave up and started going along with it by the end.

Every musician I know loves it how Pete spills his amp but not his drink.
I always wanted to see the performance from this show
Here is is: m.ruclips.net/video/2jW9d3bbsYU/видео.html
Moon is smashed here what a man God rest his soul 💙
I've lost me nerve now ...
How would it be to take someone like Keith all day every day
Keith was brilliant...he could have had his own comedy show...it's remarkable how quick-witted he was..
"'Av a seat, old luv ..."
Sadly this isn't quite the full interview. I recall Keith Moon holding and upturned cymbal and saying he was going to be sick into it, and also, when he did his stripping bit he made a reference (to his underpants, if my memory serves me) with the words.. "Interwoven pubics"..
A bottle of refreshment was later produced and they were joined by the then Miss World Belinda Green.

He was supposed to have a role in Holy Grail, but died before filming started.
@@loosilu oh ok, u must mean Life of Brian though
@@unfortunatebeam Thanks for coming back 9 years later, lol! You're totally right, it was Life of Brian.

I like how Russell Harty refers to the amps as 'machinery'. I guess the machinery needed a new set of tubes after falling that height.
I think those Hiwatts are solid state actually...
@@jeffkahl he used high watt before his Marshall days?
@@metalEric69 actually it was the other way around. Those are Hiwatts. He also used Vox before that.

You rule, Keith! R.I.P.
Keith is totally bonkers sooo funny! Lol!
It is said that comedy is the expression of true pain.
04:12 There's actually a bit of truth to this, at least on Entwistle's part

Yep
2:15 I love that eye exchange!!!
Thats a rock n roll band
3:58 I love how Keith was about to bite him again
ha ha i love keith and pete they're totally going at it with russell john and rog are just sitting there watching this is great classic who :D
Not only was Moon the Greatest Drummer Ever, but he was also the Funniest One.
Fckng brilliant.
Pedantic point - the Who performed their first gig with Moon on 2.5.64. This was recorded on 3.1.73, so they'd been together just over 8 and a half years.
haha, wow, that was great :)
Thank you so much!
this vid is just hilarious and random! the end when keith is making fun of the interviewer is the best!
iv watched this about 5 times now. i have a serious issue. xD
I love Keith Moon
So Keith was like that all the time wow
You just carry on Russell!
Exactly what I was thinking, haha! Now that would have been interesting.
Moon is so unpredictable and dangerous. There’s never been another like him. He eats interviewers for lunch. God help you if you try.
When he got aggressive with Harty about 'his sleeves', you could see Pete start to get very nervous as to what might happen!
based on what we know now, it is surprising that Daltrey and Townsend don't get into a fist fight.
Roger looks surprisingly shy during these proceedings.
He couldn't get a word in!
Sometimes he was quiet, other times he was quite cheeky! He came into his own when Pete wasn't around because PT talked/talks a lot...
He says he's quite shy but he doesn't seem it in solo interviews. He's lovely to talk to...

When's the last time anyone said this about you, Ken from Dubliin? XDDDD
Haha. I thought I was the only one who thought that. Apparently not. Totally hot on the Smothers Brothers show.
I want the whole interview :/
Read the book Dear Boy if you want to know Keith Moon. Russell here was gay. Keith knew it when he asked how long he had been married.
I remember seeing this interview at the time. Keith stripped down to his underpants and sat on Harty's lap, much to his embarrassment. Why has this bit been cut from every clip I've seen of this interview?
Indeed , and they've also permanently cut the section where Keith hoovers an eight inch line of freshly chopped out Columbian nostril dust up his hooter.
Not to mention the end of the interview where Russell is throttled to within an inch of his life by Pete , so I won't!
ahahha. there so entertaining!! i love them!!

Hey, Pete's got a earring.
Never known.
Why can’t we see whatever song(s) they played (or mimed to) before the interview? Is that video out there?
It’s “Relay”, mimed.
hahha, I knew a bit about that :) Harty's face's hilarious after such comment by Keith,
& these guys were mad :D
♥The Who
What ABOUT THE PREFORMANCE? CAN YOU SEE THAT ANYWHERE?
These boys are too fuckin much, pure and easy.
this has been put together from the kids are alright, hasnt it? ;-)
Keith moon That’s funny when he just said into stroppy now 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He’s is God is in commando 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Keith Moon outing Russell Harty
Sub title for this interview should "Russell Harry trying to interview the Who then giving up and just winging it!"
Like Russell said, he was just transfixed by it all!
Oh my god Pete went for Russel’s throat at the end 😭😭😭
This is so funny. Legends.
"How long have you been happily married then??" (it was well known Russell Harty was gay..
1:25 Keith realized, that biting an Ox is too much for His teeth to handle. No wonder, He looks disappointed afterwards. :)
3:13 Keith’s resume
Fucking hell I love Moon the Loon.
Keith he is a funny person
ooooooooooooooooh god. pete, I love you. =D
These guys were as irreverent and rebellious as the Sex Pistols turned out to be
Sex Pistols were pissants
"Is it not?"
" Are you Not?"
Gotta love the oooo

They're all steaming drunk too. Pretty obvious I'd say!
Carry On, Russell !
awesome that was areely funny moment
hahaha Keith's so cool
@WizardGlik Which one? Russell Harty or Moon?
It's the interviewer not the band that makes the conversation sounds so grand.
you're all married i hear!!! 2023 still funny as .....
What does Roger say at 1:12?
Now drape yourselves all over the upholstery
Keith Moon: brilliant drummer, pain in the ass otherwise...
He had ADHD, the drugs made it worse.
John 4:39 Lmao looks like a fake laugh
The great who.
Oh my good grief¿ WHO¡ AJ¿.. wowsers¡,,,
I think I've never seen something so unorganised. Oddest.Interview.Ever
So unsettling. Moon definitely had a mental problem and no one knew it
Stoned. Harty dealt with them very well.
@rockgrl86 No it's not just you...but you'll have to fight me for him ;) long live the greatest drumer/bassist in rock
Moon is like Crosby, talented but so attention seeking, little self worth. It's hard to watch this, knowing what a waste he became and was at this time. Too sad, Who Sad.
