First Time Reaction to The Who - Who Are You

Keith “The Loon” Moon drums , Roger Daltrey vocals, Peter Towhshend guitar & John “the Ox” Entwistle on bass and probably the best contemporary bassist in in music., he was the eye of the storm . Keith Moon was a one of a kind talent, his drumming style was powerful and crazy , he constantly did fill through out a song Peter is a very talented overall musician & song composer and Rogers vocals speak for themselves You’ll get a list of song to explore. Great rabbit hole

[@jeremyfagner6808]

I agree. John “Thunder fingers” Entwhistle is one of my favorite bass players. And you have to love Moon.

[@billc.5861]

I agree Jeremy, along with Cliff Burton , Victor Wooten , Tal Wilkenfeld , Angeline Saris (my personal favorite). Pino Palladino , Les Claypool and a bunch I’m not thinking of. I play the drums and it’s all about being in the pocket and the groove with the bass As far as Moon he was just crazy. Lol.

In their heyday The Who was NOT a band. They were an assault crew with a soundtrack. They were also the most dynamic concert I've ever seen live, and I've seen a LOT!)) Thanks for the reaction! "Love, Reign O'er Me" is among their very best - an intense and powerful love ballad.

Townshend when asked about Moons drumming said " we just let Keith do a solo and we write a song around it."

[@garryiglesias4074]

Keith was so funny and nice. Although chaotic in everything. Died too young, but his trail in our world left us with some magic.

[@danieldougan269]

He had a dark, mean side though too. It was probably the booze that made him beligerant. The man treated his body like a science experiment. He was one of the most legendary drummers but also one of the most legendary party animals in rock history. He was infamous for trashing hotel rooms and passing out on stage during their concerts Ironically, he died from a drug that was supposed to help him get clean.

[@thomasgriffiths6758]

It had the absolute privilege of seeing The Who in concert, July 21st, 1989, Glen Falls, New York. One of the best concert I've ever seen.

This was the last year with Keith, because he died a few months later. So if you're going to check out the Who, they were at their best earlier than this. Some great live stuff is available, particularly from around 1969-1971 - Tanglewood and Isle of Wight. Also the Rolling Stone Rock and roll circus clip of "A quick one", and the 1978 Shepparton studios performances.

I honestly can't think of a better performance clip than that one. Even with the missing third verse, it's utterly compelling.

[@mikedonoghues4018]

The third verse, from the album, changes the sentiment of the song massively - and whilst I understand the requirement for a “single version”, the song is so much poorer without that verse.

[@morpher44]

See "Won't Get Fooled Again" (Shepperton Studios / 1978) where Pete does a running jump with his guitar and lands on his knees, Rodger whirls his microphone, Keith plays crazy drums, and John E. is loud as f*ck.

Four fantastic musicians. Roger Daltrey's great vocals perfectly fit Pete Townshend's songs and his guitar and keyboard work. John "The Ox" Entwistle, one of the greatest bass players ever, and Keith Moon, the wild man on the drums. Such a great band. Not sure what Who you've heard, but they're a deep well, from the early straight-ahead pop-rock like "I Can See For MIles" and "Substitute" to opuses like "Baba O"Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again".

As others have mentioned, two other songs by The Who were used for CSI series: "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Riley". These also happen to be two of their best and best-known songs, but another song that you absolutely MUST listen to is "Love Reign O'er Me".
