Saturday Night's Alright [For Fighting] - The Who

[@qdog568]

You can't let The Who cover one of your songs. They will blow your version away!!

[@cantorcarl]

Whatever the Who touches turns to gold. IMHO, this version is better than the original.

[@SuperBlargle]

LOVE the Who and this song!!! They totally rocked it and they're the best band ever!! (In my opinion, anyway)

[@TheCapitanDJ]

This make it seem as if Elton's version is fast tempo cover, love both versions but The Who's got something magical about it

[@ltyr2001]

The Who is my favorite band. They just kick such serious butt! NO singer has the sound of Daltrey! Entwistle is a monster. Pete Townsend IS ROCK!

[@jemgrrargh]

love love love LOVE the "take me to the pilot" chorus starting at around 3 mins.

[@schmittelt]

I love singing "Saturday-Saturday" at the end of "Who Are You" since this song was originally written with The Who in mind and they probably threw the chords to this song at the end of their song as an acknowledgement of that. Fitting they get to cover it.

[@piandey]

cette version est purement géniale, interprétation magistrale du meilleur talent des Who, fantastique groupe!magiciens du rock and roll! Rip Keith and John.

[@Blaxfax]

good! It was a very long time since I heard this awesome version!

[@LibertyAtStake]

The most organic cover ever. Period. End of sentence.

[@loonymoongirl]

OMG, This is incredible & so unique!! ALRIGHT!!!!!!!

[@mandab819]

As big of a fan I am of The Who AND Elton John... how did I not know this existed til just now? haha

[@fls13ec]

Never heard this version . . . lots of fun!

[@quad5186]

God , I love this video….

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

1991, and Kenney Jones had left the band by then. Jon Astley (according to wikipedia, so don't yell at me if it's wrong) was the drummer for this track.

[@B1ggu5]

Love the bass at 2:55. Entwistle steam-rollers it.

[@Thewhorox12]

Just think how much this song would have rocked with Moon on drums!!!

[@trivium149]

all very talented musicians

[@dano4876]

Great video long live THEWHO

[@quad5186]

I remember when they released this video in '90 it was featured on this pay per play odd off channel, like the video jukebox systems at some bars at the time . I probably spent fifty bucks playing this, ( VCR was busted ).

[@Domydoor]

i'm personally offended if i meet someone who doesn't like the who

[@scofflawphredduhr6867]

Who you talking bout?

[@ladyfuschia4729]

Let me know if you ever find one!

[@scottschumacher7926]

@ 2:54 Entwistle really starts to thump it. Can't beat the Ox!

[@YAKGZAS]

i copletely agree,,da superbowl halftime show will be completely great,,,,,perfect to compliment da saints

[@ront9459]

Elton John was the better performer and showman while the Beatles were more influential. However when it comes to actual musical quality, few bands can approach the Who. It's just like the way Bach could take a Vivaldi composition and work it into something far in excess of anything Vivaldi could have imagined.

[@fireglo450]

Before now I never knew this existed. Sounds like 80s: I recognized Jones's not-as-awesome drumming.

[@trfesok]

1991

[@bedrosnersesyan6975]

This version is axiomatically superior to any other....

[@jackcrane7853]

And to think that these savages survived all hippie bands!

[@sammydwm]

Somehow I find it easier to believe that Daltrey would know more about being all right for fighting than Elton.

[@trfesok]

Well, Bernie Taupin does -- he wrote the lyrics.

[@timfortune9]

As completely balls to wall awesome as the original is, it just somehow seems more natural for The Who to be sing this.

[@doctorzaius77]

Great video, go post!

[@invaderzimgirl14]

the who in my opinion is better! not this video in particular but the actual song itself! got 2 luv good music!!! keep calm and rock on!!! go the who!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~YAMMY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[@pbstratocaster]

Never knew they did this....

[@slammy102]

@sammydwm absolutely! fabulous Elton John song, and its great sung by him.... but it's as though he wrote it for Daltrey! Love this version more :D

[@TheJohnny990]

@DavidLoike the na na na's are from take me to the pilot

[@gfh110]

It might be a cover, but this song really exemplifies Roger's description of The Who's music: "The Stones write songs to fuck to; The Who write songs to fight to."

[@GrantStoke]

Apparently The Who said they were getting their own back for Pinball Wizard!,from memory i think this was for a charity thing.Anyway they nail it in my opinion.Hats off to Mr John and Mr Taupin though, it is a fucking killer tune. Check out Thunders version of Gimme Shelter for another awesome cover

[@hanshendriksen72]

@funkyjo2 i hate to break it to ya but this version was recorded somewhere in 1989 and had Jon Astley on the drum computer. Nice computer rolls, but no Keith Moon.

[@WhyBrothers]

la version de Nickelback es buena pero nadie se compara con The Who !

[@beatlequeen06]

Awesome!! Nuf said, lol.

[@LOCKED1982]

the beatles,the rolling stones, the animals y the who....ese es el orden del rock n' roll

[@Drakyelz]

@countryfirst32 but elton john didnt do a version XD, he is the original performed of this song

[@Centurion101B3C]

The combination of straight and gay testosterone culminates in this, for me, all time favourite and brings back the days into rememberance in which I myself was young and foolish. I now realise that I am currently just foolish, but this track brings back the delightful memories of when I was gloriously both.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

@TheJohnny990 "If you feel that I'm real, I'm on trial/And I'm here in your prison//Like a coin your mint/I am dented and I'm spent with high treason//Like a glass eye, your throne/Is the one danger zone/Take me to the pilot for control/Take me to the pilot of your soul ..."

[@Brufordophile]

The bleeding video images suck for the lack of sharpness and how they hang up on an image at PRECISELY the wrong time .... but I think this version is better than the one Elton did. But WTF do I know?!?

[@TheJohnny990]

@hanshendriksen72 so the drums are loops?

[@gent11763]

Was this the actual video for the song?

[@mdavidification]

This version beats Elton's ne day gotta love the who

[@Pantechnicon]

I guess this is fair, since Elton's performance of Pinball Wizard ate The Who's lunch first.

[@tucoramirez6058]

Where's the video of the one where it shows all the 1960's pub scenes complete with fighting?

[@invaderzimgirl14]

@countryfirst32 yea!

[@FuzzboxVoodoo94]

wow. that's an old VH1 Classic logo.

[@geathWAWAW]

When it comes to cover versions….. the who, hold my beer

[@GrantStoke]

From my comment posted where do i actually infer that Elton stole it? This was off an album called "Two Rooms" where various artists were paying homage to John/Taupin.That quote although slightly paraphrased is on the sleeve notes.I am sorry that my comment invoked a reply ,but i believe your words are misplaced when you look at the actual content of my note.Just trying to set the story straight

[@SGguy0425]

I fucking love the added Who-ish intro it fits so damn well!

[@thomsonpete]

definetly better than the elton john version , the who are awesome!!!!!!!

[@stclemmons1969]

It's Saturday night.....anyone wanna go at it?

[@moggy1231]

the who is the only band that can cover this song.

[@electrifyed1]

Actually of the remakes of this song, Nickelback (w/ Kid Rock) is by far the best Sure did become popular when elton did it back when. We just hafta remember, this is the way it was meant to be played .

[@EuphrasieF]

@DragonicaYoutub The Who used synthesizers a lot more often than Elton John.

[@VallinSFAS]

How anarcho-nihilist can you BE?!! Lord knows these Shepherd's Bush yobbos know the point of this song from many memories.

[@NZimmer01]

I'm pretty sure it's Simon Phillips on drums, bro... but perhaps I'm wrong

[@DavidLoike]

I'm I the only one who hears a bit of Hey Jude towards the very end? :P

[@1964dangerous]

You take a classic...and improve it...that's talent, that's The Who.

[@bofts]

@OxAeroBabixO You aint kidding

[@steveweed3488]

The Who give this song more TEETH

[@jaz988]

i am a big fan of elton but i prefer this version although elton's version is verry good 2

[@jmackable1]

Ya know what's wierd? I kinda prefer this version over Elton's. BUT I prefer Elton's version of Pinball Wizard over the Who's. woulda thunk??

[@TravisMackie12ft4]

I dunno... the point is it wasn't Kenny Jones.

[@iamobeliskquake]

@moggy1231 alice cooper could too

[@NZimmer01]

oh, it definitely isn't

[@TJBetelgeuseMCR]

Not bad but Elton's version is better. And I'm saying that not because I'm Elton John fan :)

[@jamesdavies1291]

I love this song but I hate Elton John I wish they’d have written it

[@Brian-xu9di]

Like Elton’s version, but LOVE this version.

[@jaz988]

i am a big fan of elton but i prefer this version although elton's version is verry good 2
