HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING "The Who - Baba O'Riley" | GENUINE REACTION

Oh you already know I had to come back with some more of The Who for the channel. Ever since reacting to Won't get Fooled Again I knew there was something special about these guys. After seeing just 2 of their performances, I can definitely see how so many bands after The Who would have been influenced by them. These guys to me seem like true pioneers. Today we're getting back into The Who with Baba O'Riley. Baba O'Riley seemed to have a slightly different vibe to Won't Get Fooled Again but it was still an interesting song. Here's to many more The Who reactions on the channel.
Here is my reaction to hearing The Who - Baba O'Riley for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

Just realize that what you've heard so far is in their later years. They broke up officially in 83 but there was not much music from them in the last few years so these songs are from the late 70s. Their earlier stuff is much more Beatlesque than what you've heard so far.

[@JohnMorris-c5v]

When the British Invasion came to America around 1963 and introduced American audiences to The Beatles & The Rolling Stones, it also brought with it The Who & The Kinks. The Beatles had harmonies and catchy pop hooks. The Stones basically made a name for themselves covering classic blues tracks. The Who were straight-up in-your-face rock & roll. For about 30-40 years, The Who owned the Guiness Book world record for being the loudest band on Earth. One of their concerts was recorded at over 120 decibels. ...the sound 10 feet behind the engine of a 747 jumbo jet at takeoff is only about 100 decibels. The Beatles were cute. The Stones had swagger. The Who would wreck the place.

When I was a little, I got my first Who album, “Who’s next”, I believe. When my mom found out she took it from me. She said they were violent and not appropriate for my little ears to be listening to. Back then they were known for smashing the instruments on stage, tearing up hotel rooms and even driving the occasional car into swimming pools. Needless to say, it was too late. I was already hooked. 40 some years later they are still one of my all-time favorites. Enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole young man!

And just listen for his bass lines in basically every song of theirs. Very much like John Paul Jones in Led Zeppelin. You can hear it. Their fingers are flying, and they play with such power.

This song was originally meant for a new rock opera singer-songwriter, guitarist Pete Townsend was putting together called "Lifehouse". The Lifehouse project fell through, however they were able to save several songs and this is one of them. It's often called "Teenage Wasteland", however, the title is a combination of two people's names - spiritual figure Meher Baba and minimalist composer Terry Riley, both of whom Townsend was interested in learning about, at the time.

[@carolynfrancis-mclucas6185]

A few things: -Drummer Keith Moon has to have his headset taped on because he gets carried away -Guitarist Pete Townsend writes the music, and also a lead singer. He has taken his rock opera "Tommy" to Broadway. Perhaps you've heard "Pinball Wizard". -Bassist John Entwistle, I call him Luigi fingers.

The drummer, Keith Moon (Moon the Loon) was a larger-than-life figure, wrecking hotel rooms, driving cars into pools, etc. He died 3 months after this performance. A "rock-u-mentary" about the Who called "The Kids Are Alright" came out a few months later. It gives you a real good education of the band and their unique personalities.

As a GenXer - the Who dominated every house party and was the major band we all danced to in high school - your reactions bring such simple joy to me watching you respond to this music the way we did back in the day. As for energy, Green Day live 100% have the same level of energy - they literally don't let anyone sit down at the concert up through the rafters. And as for a deep dive, if you ever do a rock opera long reaction, Tommy by the Who and Pink Floyd's The Wall should be on your list! Thanks for bringing moments of pure fun into my day.

Great reaction! More Who!

During the soundcheck immediately before the performance, they couldn't get Keith Moon's headset to stay in place; so, as is apparent if you look closely, Moon said "Duct tape the motherf***ers".

John Entwhistle is a magician with that Base Guitar..... The best of the best !

The Who is easily one of the best... they were one of the pioneers of modern rock. Their stage presence is amazing, as you noted. For a modern band with killer stage presence, check out THE WARNING!!! lol I know I keep bugging you for it, but I know you will appreciate their energy. They also block nothing that people react to from their KZbin page, so they are very friendly to reactors. Do "Evolve" at the MTV VMAs from 2023. Nice, energetic performance... and good hard rock/metal sound.

On the studio version on Who's Next , the harmonica part is played on fiddle.

Great fun watching your reactions. There is such a breadth of Who material to listen/view. Since you enjoy their live energy so much. Young Man Blues, Isle of Wight, 1970. Enjoy this journey, it’s quite worth the time!!

[@bobsteele9581]

Another great reaction young man. Loving your channel 👍

I just can’t get over that the Who has some of the greatest performances in rock ‘n’ roll history.

[@Alan_CFA]

It takes a little searching on KZbin, but you can find isolated looks at each player form these sessions. Watching John Entwistle as he stands still and lets his fingers fly over the strings is something.

These guys invented loud rock. So many things that they innovated that lead to the sound and look of 60’s rock. These songs were from 1971 but performed at a special concert while they were making the documentary “the kids are alright”. The studio was actually their base they had 6 acres of Shepparton studios at the time including the main old mansion house that was their offices. The concert was shot with at least 6 cinema quality cameras and there are various videos around with all six camera shots at once, or with individual band members isolated.

You love that Analog sound, just a lot warmer and raw.

[@oneeyedjack4727]

You spoke of the "sound" of the 70s recordings. We were analog back then. Many people have made comments about analog having a warmer richer sound than digital. Some recording companies are releasing albums on vinyl again (one of my favorites is Ayreon) and people are digging through attics and marketplace ads picking up old turntables and stereo receivers. I hope you can continue enjoying your quest into the music of my teen years.

The Who is and always will be my favorite band. Live at Leeds, 1969, still takes me to nirvana. The greatest live album ever imo.... playing along on my lespaul \ marshall gets me emotional at times lol...(67 yr old usa rocker )

[@mattblatchley2061]

LOVE LOVE LOVE The Who reacts!!!! keep em comin'!!! sil vou plait !!!

[@paulshoup5805]

the who live at Leeds magic bus banger!

[@TheOrlandoTrustfull]

I'm a huge MMA fan and have been going to UFC events since the early 00s. For me, apart from a good fight, the best moment is just before the main card starts. On the big screens they show highlights of some of the best KOs and moments in UFC history, while this song blasts around the arena. Chills every time.

[@jmkqfnvyl87]

Such a full sound from the bass in the beginning 😊

[@GaryCain-qf5vi]

The Who always pleases 😅, they have so much more keep up rolling and a Rockin' Em'😂 Peace 😊✌️ Gary, Great Reaction👍 suggestion "Tommy" & "My Generation"

Saw The Who 3 times. The first time was in Los Angeles in 1982 with about 92,000 others with The Clash opened for them. I was on highschool football and lost my 1st position when I told coach I wouldn't be there for the Friday night game. Told him I wouldn't miss this opportunity to see these legends. . So he dropped me from first string the following week, which I regained after the first series of plays in the game that week. Lol The next 2 times i saw them 2 nights in a row in Oakland on their 25th anniversary tour and they perform their rock oprea Tommy in it's entirety, took a break and then came back and plyed another 1 1/2 hours

I have this as my morning alarm on my phone. Nothing better to wake you up.
