"Baba O'Riley" The Who@Madison Square Garden New York 9/1/19

[@RyderWestwood]

Damn, Roger still sounds amazing!

[@beefheart1410]

I'm 52 and came of age in the U.K. punk and post punk era. The Who has been one of my favourite bands since that period as they always seemed to be of a part with that scene. How is it that after all those years since, the intro to this number still never fails to give me goose bumps? Townshend always managed an uncanny magical trick of writing songs that married (teenage) feelings of righteous anger, frustration and rebellion with spirituality and transcendence. This was his gift but our great benefit.

[@NeilMansfieldfilm]

I admire how Pete and Roger always search something new.

[@cungar1001]

Neil Mansfield by playing the same songs for 50 years

[@radioguy1620]

50 years later still so great

[@paulya1269]

Roger still belting it out. Impressive!!

Great ! 🙌👍🙏🤗thanks !

[@steveacevedo820]

Don't blame you for wanting to keep the camera on that violinist at 6:00, she is stunningly beautiful.

[@geol1936]

Do you think they would choose an average looking violinist for that solo? C'mon...🤣

[@josephrio4773]

This concert was awesome.

[@miguelteixido3157]

Ok with power and emotion.

[@rongautreau4044]

Great video footage ! Thanks for sharing. I caught them in Toronto a couple of weeks ago.

[@jainsworr]

Seeing them in ATL tomorrow!

[@tedkay_music]

Yes!

[@VonWenk]

Outside of the immediacy of this video, the first thing that struck me was a memory of the Who's stage shows in the early '80s being noted for their elaborate production. Flashforward to 2019, and they're down to pulsing lights.

[@randyhinojosa9811]

They don't need an orchestra except the violinist...

[@1ericamat]

your vids are excellent quality

[@daves7079]

Damn, we really need some good young bands.

[@narlus]

the fact that the who still exist has no negative effects on all the great new bands of the last decade or so.

[@northeastbirdsmore2281]

I know exactly what you mean. You were also being "respectably kind"...

[@daves7079]

@@northeastbirdsmore2281 I love The Who but they are kind of sad at this point. Only 2 original members and Roger's voice is past it's prime. The people who see them live just wanna live in 1969 forever and pay 500 bucks to see old grandpa's pretend they are still cool. Same goes for McCartney

Hope I die before I get old . This hurts ... as much soul as the orchestra could spare.

Glad I got old before I died. Said Pete and Rodger

[@genes6703]

I'll never understand why people hold their phones the entire show and record the concert. What the hell are they going to do with the amateur footage? And how do you enjoy the show doing that? It's the dumbest thing in the world when I see a million phones in the air recording!!!

[@jeffharder8706]

Gene S who says they have to do anything with the footage? Maybe they want it for their own personal recollection of a great evening.

[@TheCheryl57]

It's called memories............... plain and simple. Why do people record anything, why do they take pictures, why do you video your kids. "Memories are the illustrations from the storybook of our life."

[@genes6703]

@@TheCheryl57 A picture is taken in 10 or less seconds. People hold their phones recording for the entire show, so I'm not buyin the memory excuse. I went to see Howie Mandel and the lady in front of us was holding her cam corder for the entire show. It's just plain stupid and disrespectful.

[@genes6703]

@@jeffharder8706 I can see doin it for 20 seconds, which I've done. But the entire show or a good portion of it. It's just stupid and disrespectful to the band and audi.

[@TheCheryl57]

Gene S as with everything that is your opinion but not necessarily other people’s opinion. Believe me where I’m sitting at a concert I guarantee the band can’t see me. I don’t see it as disrespect I see it as great admiration. Believe me if they’re bad I’m not taking video. I saw Paul McCartney a couple of years ago, he sounded terrible and I took no video.

[@mudstone6497]

Hi, looks awesome, can you tell me what time The Who went on? Thanks!

[@jamessollazzo2966]

they never play past 11:00 in nyc, refuse to pay overtime for the overpaid unions that work in the garden! don't know what time they came on?

[@jimpowers10411]

They went on at 8:30 sharp, ended around 10:50

My opinion is that they should have stopped calling themselves The Who after John died.

LOL for the naysayers & down-voters....go find some fresh blood, indie or some such. Classic/iconic rock IS an acquired taste. But it's lasting.

[@daveguy11]

Oh, god, why won't they just hang it up?? Even the Stones still seem to care, a little, and Mick can still move -- these two have the energy of a spent AAA battery.
