THE WHO YOUNG MAN BLUES LIVE REACTION 😳🔥

[@TheNorcalmonkey67]

He shook the holy ghost outta of that guitar....greatest line ever....

[@markskorczewski4456]

Pound for pound they were the best rock band of that era. Keith Moon alone was worth the price of admission.

[@petebradt]

But not any more. Without Keith and John, Townshend's music has NO power. Pino fuckin' Palladino. *What a fucking joke.*

[@markskorczewski4456]

@@petebradt Well, nothing lasts forever.

[@petebradt]

The best band of *ANY* era.

[@edgarsnake2857]

I saw them do this three times within a few months of this performance. It was bone shakin'! Love your reaction.

[@philiprodney7884]

Wonderful performance by The Who. Really loved your review. They were the best live band in the world in their prime. Lucky enough to see them a number of times. Keep them coming!

[@bostonwhofan]

The Who is touring the United States this spring, summer, and fall. I've already got my front row seats for The Who in Boston on May 18!!!

[@philipstein1359]

Yes. Welcome to the legend that is the one and only, the late great Keith Moon!

[@jamesreckling6697]

The bass is just unbelievable this song. John Entwistle was a beast!

[@falcon215]

That was worth watching twice.. I completely agree with you on live performances and that was the definitive version of the Who performing that song in my opinion. Their 'Live At Leeds' concert is still arguably considered the best rock performance of all time. There's even a plaque at the venue to memorialize it. And when Pete Townshend windmilled his fingers would BLEED. Great reaction!

[@chrislaustin]

The drummer is Keith Moon, and he's normally rated in the top 3 R&R drummers of all time. And it's rumored the "Animal" from the Muppets was based on him, and having seen both more often than not, I tend to believe it. LOL

[@petervandervlies6427]

Yes, yes, yes,The Who, most original rockband ever. Saw them in Amsterdam 1972, i have a little tinitus ever since 😜😜 They were verry loud back then. Pete is my nr 1 guitarist, never playing the same thing twice 👍 John Entwistle is the best bass player i've ever heard. Thanks girl, this was a joy. Hello from the Netherlands 👍👊🔥😉

[@danielceo4694]

Yes, that's The Who! They are incredible, but back then they were crazy, they were hard, they were heavy, they were intense! Just think, this was years before hard rock, punk or heavy metal! They are great live in concert, but even they themselves have even said they were better in concert than on record (and I think their records are great)! Love you! You're beautiful! Love your reactions!

[@scottderechinsky9896]

If you like watching live videos than The WHO is definitely the band for you. Greatest live band ever. Going to see them in Philly on May 20 for the 100th time. Only Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are still alive but they still put on a rocking show.

[@srfdad]

Lead drums as only Kieth Moon could play.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

The Who at their best!

[@keefmack]

oh yeah! they were the original wild rock n roll band just going nuts on stage

[@michaelwebster8389]

Probably the live version of A quick one while he's away from the rolling stone rock and roll circus. That's a nice live performance.

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

Definitely )

[@benrogers3311]

1000% Mate. Woodstock also.

[@RealWickedTunes]

Best version is from the live album "Live At Leeds" which is considered the best live album of all times. This version is from "Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970". Been to 15 of their liveshows no one could touch them during the Keith Moon (R.I.P. Mooney) years.

[@keef7224]

Agree that musically the LAL version is better, but this one is just so awesome too because it’s on film. That climax where Pete does like 10 super fast windmills in a row gets me every time! 🎸💥

[@phillyghost1256]

@@keef7224 I agree this version of Young Man Blues was the most explosive performance by The Who and this video captures what the band was all about live’ more than any other!🎸🇬🇧

[@MrThumbs63]

Best band ever. It's not close.

[@keef7224]

Your reaction of utter disbelief is entirely appropriate! Every live performance by The Who from roughly ‘67 through ‘72 is exactly the same…stunning! Simply the greatest live band ever. 🎸💥 Monterrey ‘67 Rock & Roll Circus ‘68 London Coliseum ‘69 Woodstock ‘69 Tanglewood ‘70 Isle of Wight ‘70

[@petebradt]

Fillmore 1968. Fillmore West 1969. Berkeley Community Theater, 1970 San Francisco Civic Auditorium, 1971 Cow Palace, San Francisco, 1973, where Keith Moon passed out and Lynyrd Skynyrd opened. Winterland, 1976, both shows. Oakland Coliseum, 1989. After Keith died, I only saw one Who show. I never saw the post-Ox who and I intended the lower case. THe abomination that tours as "The Who," makes me want Townshend to die. Hey, he got old.

[@twowheelsandwhiskey3868]

The hardest hitting free spirited loudest rock band the world has ever known bar none

[@musicairplanes4884]

This song was written by the great Mose Allison. A piano playing jazz musician.

[@optimusprime2]

Great reaction of the best version of this song, another great performance of the who is in 1970, 2 songs: "Water" and "heaven and hell"

[@jamesreckling6697]

The greatest rock band ever.

[@Juanjin1961]

Amazing journey from the greatest rock band .Still no substitute

[@ianbrooke6342]

Filmed at the concert on the Isle of Wight (a tiny island off the south coast of England) in a field at 2am with everyone totally stoned out of their heads (including me :) ), The Who were one of the best live bands ever, and certainly one of the loudest! There are lots of excepts from The Who at this concert, plus their Woodstock performance, all are great. Sadly two of the band have since died but the singer Roger Daltry and lead guitar Pete Townsend are still playing.

[@davescurry69]

The Who are the greatest live band of all time. Period. In my humble opinion of course, but at their best they can't be touched. The sheer size of the sound they were able to achieve with only 3 musicians and a vocalist is thing to behold. If you want to react to more live Who at their peak, maybe try "See Me, Feel Me" (from Woodstock), "Sparks" (Woodstock), "Water" (Isle Of White), "Happy Jack" (London Colosseum) and "A Quick One While He's Away" are great places to start.

[@jakethomas3205]

I saw all the classic live bands including Zeppelin and Hendrix.They were good but The Who were in a different league;no-one could touch them live.

[@leegoodison]

Not too shabby from Four local boys coming from Sheppard's Bush in London town 😉

[@DJGerryfromStarlightMusic]

Awesome song and reactions!!

[@alvarhanso6310]

The Greatest Rock band of all time. Funny you mentioned Lynyrd Skynyrd, their big break cme opening for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour in Fall 1973. Bands opening for The Who notoriously saw tons of booing, no matter how big they later got, or how big they were at the time. Lynyrd Skynyrd was the first band to not get booed off the stage opening for The Who, and, they were in fact so good that Who guitarist Pete Townshend stopped a backstage conversation mid-sentence to remark on what he was hearing from Skynyrd, "They're really quite good aren't they?"

[@nem447]

Souped up blues...the precursor and grand-daddy of heavy metal.

[@bobcorbin3294]

Maximum R'n'B.

[@dsfddsgh]

I always loved how everyone in the Who were going crazy onstage and John Entwistle would just stand in one spot and never move. LOL

[@scottderechinsky9896]

The drummer extraordinare is the GOAT Keith Moon. Lead vocals Roger Daltrey. Lead guitar and main songwriter Pete Townshend. The man with the thunderfingers is Bass guitarist John Entwistle. LONG LIVE THE WHO!! 🤟

[@bopep1368]

interesting you mentioned the footwork of Pete Townsend. When I attended Who concerts, his footwork was one of the things that amazed me. His guitar playing was second to how the music moved him, and seemed like breathing to him. His body was in sync with everything.

[@robertramos6769]

You should review the Live at Leads version of Young Man blues. It’s even better by far!

[@boostphone4726]

Congratulations. Who've discovered the original Rock Gods.

[@eliorfanos9411]

Welcome to “The Who” family 🤟🤟🤟

[@danbitgood429]

Any of their Woodstock performance is worth checking out, especially the songs from Tommy.

[@brianshockledge3241]

A Quick One live at the rock n roll circus 1968 is your next port of call for The Who.

[@BlackCatLover]

I saw The Who live twice in the early 70s. Pete Townsend was wild and Keith Moon was crazy - filled his drum with fireworks once and it caught fire during a performance! 🤣 Check out “Baba O’Riley” Live *1978*!

[@Ben-sq6un]

Live, Tanglewood 1970

[@beatmet2355]

The who is the epitome as far as I’m concerned for energy and charisma onstage. I grew up hearing/seeing moments like this, so I’m biased, but there it is.

[@MrGb1965]

I’d recommend The Who doing “Water”, live at Tanglewood in 1970.

[@chickentwisties2298]

That was Keith Moon the only lead rock drummer!

[@petebradt]

And since his death, o one has even tried.

[@dadmateryn8092]

They call it the windmill its Pete's signature

[@ianpark1805]

Fury, absolute raging fury. Most bands want to seduce you, but The Who pummel you into submission. This is the band Abbie Hoffman thought he could interrupt midway through their Woodstock set and chose Pete Townshend’s mic to do it on….a really dumb move, as I’m sure he realised when Townshend clobbered him with that Gibson SG…..

[@pommelhorsepommelhorse8731]

please do 'A Quick One" from Rock and Roll Circus - but it's gotta be That version

[@bobhope3716]

Saw The Who 3 times. Consecutive nights on the 89 tour. Hey if you like live guitar performances try Frank Marino and Mahagony Rush doing the song Johnny B Goode from the Midnight Special TV show !

[@titovanzappa4629]

The Who a miracle!!

[@bostonwhofan]

While it's not a full song, you should react to the link I included here called "Keith Moon stays hydrated". Keith is the drummer. Pete Townshend is the guitarist. Watching Keith feed of the energy of Pete and Pete feeding off the energy of Keith is a sight to behold!!! This is short, but a very incredible moment of The Who live: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHTYoX2mrtKanKc

[@tedsmith7814]

What a great reaction!

[@billbitterman9487]

I got to see The Who live in 1975. The whole concert was like that. There wasn’t an encore because the left the audience as exhausted as the were. Drummer Keith Moon never kept a normal drum beat. If such a thing was possible he played lead drums. I’ve been to dozens and dozens of concerts starting in the late 60s and there was never a live band that matched their performance. Regrettably, I never saw the one band that probably could have equaled a Who performance…Jethro Tull

[@petebradt]

I saw them from '68-'89. They weren't the same without Keith and I quit going. When I watch videos of the Who, I ONLY watch them with Keith Moon. They should have stopped after Keith died and even Townshend has agreed (at last).

[@stevetrump7399]

I just subscribed cuz you got it right! Perfect reference to Skynyrd live! Exactly what I was thinkin before you said it. Nice. Hey, check out Stevie Ray Vaughan's cover of Jimi H's Voodoo Chile. Seriously.

[@robbiethepict2783]

Animal from the Muppet Show is based on The Who drummer Keith Moon.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Just for you, a quick Who primer. Drums-Keith Moon, Guitar-Pete Townsend, Lead Vocals-Roger Daltry and in the skeleton suit, on Bass-John Entwistle, aka The Ox. The Who in 1970 were a band hitting top form, which would continue until the album Who Are You. After that, Moon died, and they continued, but it wasn't the same. Keith Moon was THE driving force of The Who while he was alive, after he passed, they were just another rock and roll band. I saw them live live, twice. I know. Really, really good, just not great. As some others have indicated, A Quick One (While He's Away), from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is something everyone should see. That performance, and their own sloppiness, caused The Rolling Stones to not release the film for many years. Jealousy, ya know. Just watch Keith the whole time and you will be "entertained". Enjoy.

Even, knowing that "experts" says Pete is not a great guitarrist, at least not top ten, he's a genious, in the maner that guides melodie, given it continuity....

[@rickjanowski1965]

great music, great comments, poor analysis - almost falling asleep

[@chrisowoc3463]

The term " Rock Stars was literally invented for this band. Jimi Hendrix played this same show, he played 2 more gigs and died. And the band JETHRO TULL opened this show. Both of theyre performances are on youtube. Please dig deeper into the WHO and every other rock band feom this same era of music. Theres a REAL REASON THEY ARE CALLED TRUE LEGENDS

[@ericunderwood1186]

Check out the live version of The Who singing the song Naked Eye from a live concert from 1974. Thank me later.

The Who - Sparks Woodstock live is better this song

[@kenhewitt7357]

Now that's stage presents!!

[@petebradt]

Or even PRESENCE, you moron.

[@Rassskle]

A great introduction into Pete Townsends trademark windmill arm, but a reasonably controlled performance by The Who’s usual standards. Normally....... the audience know when the end is coming when Pete starts smashing his guitar. The song ends when Keith destroys his drum kit . lol Then they go back to the hotel and Keith destroys his hotel room and a few others if possible. lol

[@bartstarr100]

Pete Townshend is almost completely deaf. For some reason.

[@petebradt]

Headphones.

[@D13fs]

He makes a bigger deal about it than what it really is. You never see him having a hard time hearing in interviews etc. Entwistle became very deaf and had to have people repeat themselves etc. John didn't talk about it nearly as much. Both did say headphone use while recording had a lot to do with it, especially the tinnitus.

[@juliebryne2903]

The drummer is the one and only keith moon! THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE!!
