Greatest live act in rock & roll history- The Who!! Absolute command of the stage and just an electrifying spectacle to watch and hear. In their prime they were untouchable. In fact, this particular performance wasn’t even released for over 25 years because The Rolling Stones were so embarrassed by the fact that The Who blew them off their own stage and stole the show! 🎸💥

[@brendandoherty7819]

That, to me is the finest piece of live rock n roll ever recorded. The Who were home off the back of a tour and firing on all cylinders. The Rolling stones much to their chagrin never released it until 1996 - it was recorded in 1968. Eddie vedder and My Morning Jacket played this live... about 7 or 8 of them on stage. Goes to show how effective and organized The Who were. BTW, I loved watching your face and disbelief in what you were watching 😜🤪 Great upload, tnx.

[@willdevenport6980]

1996? This clip was in The Kids Are Alright from 1979.

[@gregnewman2512]

Also, the guitarist wanted to write a ten minute song. At the time, it was unheard of. So he wrote 5, two minute songs with the same theme and stuck them together. The genius thing for me is that they wanted to add cellos but couldn't afford them. Hence, they sing repeatedly, "cello, cello, cello..." where the instrument should be. Brilliant.

[@mickwinters3509]

Man, your smile says it all! Every one in The Who played “lead”… lead vocals, lead guitar, lead bass, and lead drums! Everyone out front 100% of the time.

[@mattshaw6180]

The Who = the GOAT live rock band. Controlled chaos. This was a sweet starter since they got to hit a lot of their tricks, but it was just 1968; they got _better_ . Try the live 1978 vid of "Won't Get Fooled Again" or the studio version of "Who Are You" for more!

[@johnr.8275]

I absolutely agree with your first sentence. No one could touch these guys live, even in the late '90's and early '00's up until John Entwistle died. I remember seeing them a few times in 2000 and being absolutely blown away by how great they were. And they were having so much fun up there, it was infectious! It was such a shame that John died so young, because they were BACK again: no thirty other musicians up onstage with them, watering down the sound, no Pete on acoustic and Simon on electric, etc. It was just Pete, Roger, John, Zak Starkey and John "Rabbit" Bundrick on keys. I saw them with Pino Palladino on bass not long after John died (September of '02, I believe), and it was just so sad. They didn't sound remotely as good as before, and the band also seemed (understandably) depressed and in low spirits. Saw them again in '19...it was ok, tickets were only twenty bucks and my buddy dragged me along, but the whole time all I could hear was the gaping hole in the sound that John left behind.

[@jcriverside]

Love that this is your first Who, your reaction delights me. So much more to enjoy. Pete's solo stuff is brilliant too.

[@jons3808]

Great reaction!! I saw the Kids are Alright (this footage is in the movie) when I was 12 (back in 1979) and that was it for me, I HAD to play the drums after that. I had never seen anything like Keith Moon… before or since. The Who has an amazing catalog and are one of the all time greats.

The drummer, Keith Moon, is considered one of the 10 best drummers of all time. In fact, all four group members are listed in the top ranks lists of drummer, bassist, guitarist, and vocalist, one of the very few bands that can boast that feat (Rush or The Police would be a couple others).

Gotta see The Who at Woodstock - they were the loudest band (record 120db Charlton Stadium, 1976) for the time and most intense band possibly ever!! Keith Moon was 100% nuts, Roger Daltrey got fired from the band for fighting and actually knocked out Pete Townshend one time.

[@loosilu]

He was thrown out for beating up Moonie. He flushed Moon's bag of pills down the toilet and Moon went at him, which is a bad idea because Rog was a street fighter. Moon ended up in the hospital adn Roger was thrown out of the band (because Moon was the pill supplier for the other guys).

[@kencoakley3959]

My brother in law and sister's first date was to see The Who at Boston's Music Hall in 1973. They were promoting the "Quadrophenia", which I strongly recommend you listen to. The line up was Keith Moon on drums John Entwhistle on bass Pete Townshend on guitar Roger Daltrey on lead vocals A Quick One.was a mini Opera, which was 4 or 5 regular length songs that tell one short story. They had 10 minutes to fill on the album so their co-manager, Kit Lambert, came up with the idea of the mini Opera. 2 years later they made Tommy, the very first full length Rock Opera. The performance was from a tv special in England The Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus. It ran in theaters but was pulled by The Rolling Stones because they felt that The Who had blown them away. It came out in video in 1996. Their drummer Keith Moon died in 1978 after overdosing on barbiturates that were prescribed to combat his alcoholism. They were never the same after that. They replaced Moon with Kenny Jones from The Faces after Phil Collins offered to join. Jones played on Who Are You when Moon was too drunk to perform. My brother in law and sister went to see them again, this time at Boston Garden in 1976 but Moon fell from a barstool and couldn't perform so they had to postpone it. When they did the make up show they did Tommy because the movie Tommy was still in theaters.

Keith Moon the Loon on the drums. He was lost to drinking and the pills he was taking to help him stop. He was crazy off stage as well as in cars in the pool and totally trashed hotel rooms )

3 things you gotta keep in mind bruvv, 1. What you just witnessed is hands down the greatest British rock drummer who ever existed, Keith Moon (other than Bonzo). 2. The Rolling Stones were upset and in the original screening of this film, they considered removing The Who's performance because it slaughtered everyone else's sets 3. Pete Towsend (the guirarist) composed 3 rock operas ALL on his own. And he's the very first person ever (in rock) to popularize smashing instruments on stage. Really glad you liked this!

Keith Moon was their Drummer. He was absolutely nuts! No matter what he did, he had to it better, and harder than anyone else. That is what finally killed him. Keith was so intense, and funny as Hell. He just went overboard when it came to partying, and drugs and booze. He died of an overdose of Booze and drugs. Sounds Familiar doesn't it. Actors, artists, and musicians have a tenancy to need to self- medicate, because of the pressure of being in the public eye or whatever, it's nothing new to being a celebrity.

[@michaelwebster8389]

Actually he overdosed on heminevrin which was a drug prescribed to treat his alcoholism, as he'd had the dts previously, and his wild partying ways were catching up to him in a big way. It's doubly tragic that he died from the treatment he was taking to try and fix his lifestyle.
