I think the quote is: "The Who is the only band with a lead singer, a lead guitarist, a lead bass player and a lead drummer."

[@alpetrocelli4465]

Try Cream

[@L33Reacts]

yup thats the one. thank you lol

[@jraben1065]

​@@alpetrocelli4465 Very true, but Cream came several years after (1965), the Who had broken many barriers like using distortion, feedback, massive volume, and largely pioneering the "power-trio" rock format. Cream were master musicians who took the format to new places, and established more radio acceptance for power-rock in the later-60s. But the musical rivalry in Cream was quite volatile, dangerous, and they only lasted three years. The Who were unique in that they stayed together, despite their explosive combo of 4 lead lunatics.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

@@jraben1065 Love the Who, I just always described Ginger Baker as a Lead drummer too.✌️❤️🎶

[@jraben1065]

​@@alpetrocelli4465 Yes, I also love both bands, and Ginger was a lead drummer too. His drumming was particularly impactful, often laying down complex poly-rhythms that would transform a "traditional blues" into Cream. Moon was an impactful lead player, but in a different way. Moon would often start drumming along with the vocals, or following the melody, literally playing his drums like a lead instrument. About Ginger, have you ever seen the documentary "Beware of Mr. Baker"? I was surprised to learn that Ginger was perhaps even more insane than Keith Moon!

[@johncowan3729]

Tommy was their first concept double album that blew the socks off all of us, but the studio version is really pure and worth every minute of your time. I was totally taken aback by their next studio double album concept story in 'Quadraphenia'. Mind blowing must listen.

This is about a year after Woodstock and 6 months after the Live at Leeds performance. They'd continue to tour the Tommy album for a few more months, although by this time Pete's attention was already shifting toward the Lifehouse project. But this is pretty much as good as these guys ever got.

[@melissayost4888]

I don’t know if you’ve heard about the Cincinnati disaster where people died. I was supposed to go & a lot of my friends did. It was agony waiting to find out if they were OK. I saw them 2 days later. For a Who concert the crowd was fairly subdued until they played this. Everyone was 1on their on their feet singing pointing to them pouring out their love. What happened in Cinci was not their fault & the end of festival seating. On the album Roger’s voice is so sweet & gentle.

[@joesuszczynski4084]

Saw Daltry last week up here in Niagara Falls as part of his solo "acoustic/electric" tour. For a guy who's 80 now, his voice was amazing. Pete's younger brother Simon was in the really good backing band. Great show.

[@dandare42]

Moon the Loon at his peak. You can just see and hear his playing is so ferocious. Then he's merely good but a shell of his former self by comparison in the Shepperton Studios performance less than a decade later. They were such a finely tuned machine by 1970 and they capitalized on that touring sharpness by cutting Who's Next which rocketed them to another level. What a clip!

This constituted a big, original and very new thing called a “light show” back in 1970. This tune is on the Woodstock Album, that’s how I first heard it. There is no band NO band more dynamic than The WHO in their prime. I never grew up in a “normal world.” I don’t think anyone has. My parents, born in 1930 were kids/teens during the Great Depression and World War II. They had no idea what the future held. We see it from the future, look back and say it turned out alright, so what’s the problem? My grandparents lived through WW I, a deadly influenza outbreak that killed millions, The Crash of 1929, etc. You get the idea. We make the best with the times were given; play the hand we’re dealt. I know many who played a good hand badly….. ….and others who played a bad hand will skill and finesse and won it all. You sound like one of those

[@bostonwhofan]

One of the cool things about this performance by The Who is their set wrapped up at about 3:30am. There were no curfews back in those days, and many rock festivals like Woodstock went nonstop 24x7.

One of my favorite Who songs. Of the big 3 British bands, The Beatles, The Stones and The Who, probably The Who is my favorite, although The Beatles had so many songs, and many different ones, so perhaps a tie with The Who hard to say.

[@glenndespres5317]

The Who could not be beat for live performance. When I first saw them at the old Music Hall in Boston, 3 rows from the stage, debuting Who’s Next I was lit up for days after! They were using equipment that had been rained on at Woodstock and man, the roadies got a workout! Roger’s mike shorted out and he whipped it to the side of the stage, Pete was openly working on a bottle of Southern Comfort all through the show and his amp/guitar had issues too, but it just built the tension. You never knew what the hell was going to happen next. So at the end when Pete said to his guitar, “I guess I won’t be seeing you again, we lost our minds knowing he was going to smash it. He did, and threw the remains into the audience. Wish I had caught that baby! So have you covered all the early stuff? ‘I Can See for Miles, The Seeker, Pictures of Lilly, The Kids Are Alright, Happy Jack, Substitute?

I'm not quite sure how much time Moonie actually practiced, not a lot. (LOL) If you watch the live performances you'll see him keeping his focus mostly on Towser and followed his lead. According to Pete and Roger, he had so many drums in his kit, he just couldn't miss. Later on, near the end, Moonie couldn't master the 7/8 time on The Music Must Change and there's very drumming on the track. He's quoted a saying, Yes, I'm not having a very good day. But I'm still the greatest ... the greatest Keith Moon type drummer around.

[@L33Reacts]

just from the names alone I know it has to be somewhat entertaining lol

[@jraben1065]

Isle of Wight has some great live Tommy, and so does Woodstock (though Wight footage is better). The original Tommy Album might sound "smaller" in comparison to the explosive LIVE Who sound. But Tommy was a change for the Who, with music that was complex, subtle, and particularly focused on telling the story. There are moments of musical nuance, quiet, and ambient sounds. To Moon's annoyance, much of his drumming was intentionally mixed lower. But the reduced drum volume might have helped Tommy be more accessible on American Top-40. Try doing Tommy Side 1) "Overture" is awesome!

In the Movie, Daltrey was perfect as Tommy, and Elton John's "Pinball Wizard" and Tina Turner's "Acid Queen" added fresh, original qualities to their music. Clapton was also impressive on "Eyesight To The Blind". Moon's bizarre performance fit "Uncle Earnie". Unfortunately, some of the Movie's other musical performances were sub-par, and particularly the choices for "Step-Father" Oliver Reed, and "Doctor" Jack Nicholson were terrible as "singers". Some of the Album's spiritual themes also got lost in the Movie, but overall, the Film is worth seeing. But listen to the Tommy Album first!

Tommy is meant to be heard as it was written - a rock opera - to be experienced in one sitting. It was structured like a classical opera. There is an overture that includes no lyrics but has elements of many of the melodies. The libretto tells the story of Tommy just as the libretto of Carmen tells Carmen's story. It is somewhat autobiographical and helps the world understand Pete Townsend's early life. It's quite a story. If you need to react one or 2 songs at a time just go in order.
