Listening To You - The Who (Tommy 1975)

[@JohnFazio-k2u]

always will be the best version of this track.

[@jennifersman7990]

Roger Daltrey received a well-deserved Golden Globe nomination for this film

[@pinkydogbear]

He was so great

[@pinkydogbear]

he was great

[@kravenraven3986]

music-wise, I actually prefer this to the version on the album.

[@gb032645]

Agreed. I prefer the version of "I'm Free" from the movie to the album version as well.

[@squamish4244]

I prefer Sally Simpson on this too. Pinball Wizard - hmm. Elton John's piano is something else, but the album version is cleaner.

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

valar Personally, as impressive as "Pinball Wizard" is on guitar, I'm more impressed by it being played on piano. I think guitar is a harder instrument to play (I think violin' s the most difficult, but I digress...), overall, but this particular song seems more difficult on piano, for some reason.

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

Trying stuff with Trevor Yes. It's more "raw," I suppose.

[@noahreaves8235]

Absolutely. This is just so much more... What's the word I'm looking for

[@glendasmilesalot2959]

Roger Daltrey did all of his own stunts including climbing this mountain! Amazing!

Good to know

[@kristineburbey4710]

Thanks he was so great

[@kristineburbey4710]

I did not know that but ???

[@TheFredismShow]

The greatest ending ever. So freeing to the soul. The shot of Daltry in between the sheer rock faces with the Lake District below him always makes me verklempt, seriously.

[@pinkydogbear]

so true

[@lakes836]

Was this shot at the Sour Milk Ghyll waterfalls in Borrowdale, Lake District?

[@pinkydogbear]

I agree

[@honmingho5708]

😊😅😮😢

[@rabbitandcrow]

This movie is ultimately about the search for a spiritual experience in the wake of trauma, and this scene knocks it out of the park

[@jaykapolka6111]

Look at that hair man. That's one beautiful mane right there LOL. Probably the best head of hair in rock and roll. Besides Robert Plant maybe.

[@hollysingleton2948]

Roger was at the peak of his manhood. He was such a beautiful man. Still is but now he's one of those English country gentleman. Still love him.

[@MusicRainfield]

He had some really great chompers.

[@squamish4244]

Handsome Englishmen from rock groups morph into English country gentlemen from Jane Austen adaptations. It's so cool.

[@marksimpson2321]

I LOVE the Who and have done since I was 16 but sadly personal-wise Daltrey has turned into a massive brexiteer. Doesn't detract from my his awesomely powerful stage persons but I doubt I'd enjoy a drink with him.

[@ThePakw]

Very good looking man and full of charm. Great singer aswell. I saw their concert in London once! I love him!

at age 12, my parents dropped me & my friend off to see this on the big screen. what an introduction to The Who- one of my absolute favorite bands!!!!

[@songdoctor5783]

Do you know what this rock opera is, and the message it's meant to convey? Especially the last scene?

[@kristineburbey4710]

Me too. I heard it took a long time to film this song waiting for the sunrise!!!

[@brendafabulous]

I was 13 when I saw this in the theater and I still love it!

[@sallykoller8864]

I believe that The Who is the best British band .

[@robbiecameron2339]

I get the impression from this film, that the story was all about a young boy being brought up & being subjected as a 'blind follower' to many influences, paths & false idols. Whether it be, his martyred father in the air force, his 'uncles Frank & Ernie', the idolatry of Marilyn Monroe in a pseudo-church cult, the Acid Queen & later with himself as a self-professed messiah, of pinball games, before finally finding God. And the lyrics to "See Me, Feel Me/Listening to You" sound like a Christian worship song... a very powerful prayer/love song to God.

[@sdprazak]

Agreed! 👍👍👍

[@timkelly522]

A very powerful song! A well thought out view of the movie, your view I agree with.... Your thoughts are deep!......but dear readers, experience the true and deep and real feeling of exhilaration by drawing near to God's only son.....Jesus. 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@summerbunbury3391]

Robbie Cameron - You summarized this movie perfectly!!! And I 100% fully agree with you that "Listening to You" most definitely sound's like a Christian worship song!! Everytime I listen to this, my entire being worships The Lord Jesus Christ =) Thanx for posting bruh {{{HUG}}}

[@squamish4244]

Yes, you're right. Tommy makes his way through all the bullshit and the people telling him he's the saviour to finding out he actually IS the saviour... I think it's heart-rending when he pays compliment to his dead parents for getting him as far as they did... And then he reveals his godlike status. It's an amazing and life-affirming rock opera. I think Pete is saying something very profound about humans here. We are all gods. The potential is in all of us.

[@Smokler]

@@jesusmind1611 It is also very hard to NOT see a song about hero worship and one way devotion as a metaphor for the relationship between musician and fan, a relationship Pete Townsend was deeply critical of and uncomfortable with.

[@kristineburbey4710]

I never get tired of this song! I ,play it all the time!!!!!

[@andrewharmon3653]

Just "Who" is it?

[@TheHManShow]

Literally same. Despite being so damn repetitive

[@GrantsPassTVRepair]

I would think this could almost be perfect worship music for a church.

[@TheHManShow]

That’s what Pete Townshend was going for

[@jamessrokajr3080]

Not really…in my opinion the whole story was one of self-enlightenment. The whole concept of religion was rejected when he toppled “Mary” in the church. In the end, he was alone, and his own higher power depicted in this scene was himself.

[@rabbitandcrow]

You’re both right. It’s about finding your own connection with…It. Whatever It is.

[@kristineburbey4710]

I totally love this scene!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That glorious moment when the synth comes in 0:40

[@michaelsmith4534]

The lakes at 1:40 are Buttermere and Crummock water, and 2:05 it's Derwent water, all in the English Lake District. Two different locations though, from Tommy getting to the top of the mountain to him overlooking Derwent water.

[@TheSamantha70]

[@jamesoniris2647]

It’s interesting how this movie and the musical version have two very different endings with the same song. In the musical- Tommy’s followers leave him and Tommy sings this song as he Embraces his family. In this movie- since his family is a bunch of evil evil people- this song is more about Tommy and accepting himself.
