True fact. Keith Moon was the inspiration behind Jim Henson's creation of the drummer 'Animal' in 'The Muppets'. God rest Moonie.

[@ajruther67]

I never knew that but I can see it now. I love Animal. Thanks for sharing.

[@pmbbmp]

Animal looked like Keith Moon but played like Mitch Mitchell

[@jamesdignanmusic2765]

The official video of this song is fun - showing the band fooling around in the studio. They clearly had fun making it. One of the best bands of the 60s and 70s. You'd recognise the hook from this but not the full song because it (and several other Who songs) was used as the theme of one of the CSI shows. The song is about Pete Townshend's battle with alcohol - he got so drunk one night that he was found by a cop asleep in a doorway. The cop said "I know who you are and I'm a fan. If you can stand up and get home, I won't charge you." Try some of their earlier, rawer songs, like "I Can See for Miles" or "Substitute"!

[@justjack0715]

Mick Jagger wishes he could sing like this! 😆😆😆😆😆

[@jeremygray1331]

I’ve seen The Who multiple times since 1979 (sadly never saw them with Moon). And even recently, down to Roger and Pete, they still put on a hell of a show. They tour with Zak Starkey (Ringo’s son) who is one hell of a drummer.

[@scottzappa9314]

Yep I saw them too doing Quadrophenia in 2013. Pete's brother is also in the band. Love Zak.

[@northerngurl6178]

Saw them in Toronto 2019, 2nd row, one & only time, I figured I better not leave this planet without seeing these legends, I agree, Moon would have been an experience not to be missed

I woke up in a Soho doorway A policeman knew my name He said, "You can go sleep at home tonight If you can get up and walk away." I staggered back to the underground And the breeze blew back my hair I remember throwin' punches around And preachin' from my chair Well, who are you?

[@io2467.]

The Who are such a great band, have so many good songs

[@tobeski]

The story behind it: Pete Townshend had a meeting in London with his record company and it was so depressing that he went out and got as drunk as hell in Soho. He was in such a terrible state that Steve Jones and Glenn Matlock from the Sex Pistols found him after a cop had woken him up from a refreshing nap in a shop doorway, sorted him out a bit and then put him on a Tube train back out to his house in Richmond

[@tobeski]

Oh, and one Who song that I've not seen many reactions to is "I Can See For Miles", which is so mystical that it didn't sell well and thoroughly depressed Pete T. It's all great, but Keith Moon's drumming on it is immense.

[@kevindeschenes4537]

The Magic Bus needs your reaction also. They have many greats. Thanks for your reaction

[@msfoodiediva]

You need to see the who performance on smothers Brothers show. Keith blew up his drum kit and actress bette Davis reportedly fainted after seeing the who perform. They did i can see for miles. my generation is considered 11th greatest song of all time with John's greatest bass line of all time

[@ambrosiafuentes87]

If you guys ever seen any of the CSI franchises the theme songs they used were The WHO songs. Who Are You is also used on "The Masked Singer". (I have no life).

There is a video of The WHO doing this song in the studio, with a slightly different mix, but it is fun to see the band in a different setting than usual. Roger is in a little booth, and Pete, Keith and John are having some interplay, and a lot of fun, seemingly. Worth a look and listen.

[@JamesJoyce12]

This was the Who reacting to the punks of the '70's saying "who the fck are you?". Most of the punk music is forgotten but we still have this!

[@WolfFX13]

There is SOOOO much Who y'all need to check out. Probably the greatest band of all time.

[@vespoint]

I’ll always say that Zeppelin is my favorite but The Who is the best.

[@mikeb36240]

Interesting trivia...on this album cover, Keith Moon is shown sitting in a folding chair with the words "Not To Be Taken Away". He died after the release of the album.

[@cyclops60]

A plague of dolphins on both your houses! The Who are legendary UK rockers (not psychadelic), four superbly talented guys. 'My generation, 'The kid's are alright', 'Substitute', 'squeeze box', 'I can see for miles', 'Behind blue eyes', '5:15', 'Love reign o'er me' are just a few worth reacting to. Cheers for the smiles!

[@io2467.]

I think all of those except Squeez Box are good picks. I personally hate Squeeze Box, but each to their own

[@Funktaro5]

Imagine being the band that made "The Seeker" and having so many great songs that that doesn't even get mentioned.

[@io2467.]

@Funktaro5 I think The Seeker is ok, but a pretty weak song, most of they're songs are better than The Seeker

[@PeeWeeGerman1313]

Most embarrassing date was when I was highschool. I wasn't feeling that well to begin with but I was so excited to get to take this particular girl out to dinner and a movie and didn't want to cancel. In the middle of dinner I ended up having to go to the bathroom to puke my guts out... That happened like 3 more times. I'd already bought the movie tickets though (Silent Hill) so we still went and a damn mouse was in the theater and crawled across her foot mid movie hahaha so she screamed and caused a whole scene and then when I finally get her home her dad is pissed and yelled at me about getting her home late. Despite all this she still ended up being my prom date and ended up being my fiance until she unfortunately passed away from leukemia at the age of 21. She was an angel

You have to see them live especially to see Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry never stops moving.

13:25 - THE WHO - Three of their iconic songs were used as themes to the 'CSI' TV cop show franchise. Crime Scene Investigations - 'Who Are You?' CSI: Miami - 'Won't Get Fooled Again.' CSI: New York - 'Baba O'Riley (Teenage Wasteland)'

[@metalguru85]

The Who have a deep and rich catalogue to dive into. Great song.

[@catmanduu66]

The lyrics of this song are so British. If you don't know the slang it won't get most of the references. This was the modern radio edit because the original song you can clearly hear the word F*CK in it. I say modern edit because back in the day they let that through on radio. For that reason alone The Who were considered a super cool band back in my youth. The song would play and people would be like, did you hear it? He said the F word.

[@vespoint]

I remember the first time I heard it on our kitchen radio and thinking “I hope mom didn’t hear that.”

[@louismarzullo1190]

The song's composer, Pete Townshend, is asking the question of God when he (Pete) is at a very low point in his life. This is especially evident in the last verse. He has always been a spiritual seeker, as reflected in the album "Tommy" & many other Who songs plus his solo work. Thanks for the reaction!

[@msfoodiediva]

The who were hard rock (blues base) they were first ones to destroy their instruments and destroy hotels. Not considered Psychedelic. More anti establishment thought provoking.. punk came from them. Rock n roll circus which was buried for years because the who blew the stones off the stage. Roger just turn 80 and still has his voice. Robert plant recently jumped on stage to perform with him. (Couldn't hear plant) the who is considered one of the greatest live bands of all time. Check out isle of wight 1970 great performance. When the who performed 9 11 concert for new York they blew everyone else off the stage. BTW who songs were used for csi shows. You should check out love reign ovr me. Tommy is 1st rock opera. Quadraphenia is another great rock opera from them. Because of Roger's range, very few can cover who song. The who is still one of greatest bands of all time. Fun fact current drummer zak starkey was taught to play drums by original who drummer keith moon not his father who is Ringo starr. John entwhistle is considered one greatest bassists of all time

[@petervandervlies6427]

You Guys Ever Heard Of The Who Song “Eminence Front”? Cause That’s The Song You Guys Should Check Out Next.

[@therealimnotjiminy]

Garbage. Anything that came out after/without Keith Moon is garbage and not worth anyone's time.

[@io2467.]

@@therealimnotjiminy I think most things after Who's Next is already garbage, with a few exceptions

[@therealimnotjiminy]

@@io2467. I do not disagree. 3 Songs on Quadrophenia, None on The Who by Numbers and 2 on Who Are You. But what is it with people recommending "Eminence Front"? LOL It's like the Jackson Browne people drooling over "The Load Out/Stay", which is possibly the WORST thing on Running on Empty. OR people recommending that Curtis Lowe song, out of all the good Skynyrd songs. (But we know why they're constantly pushing that song.) The same reason they recommend "Hurricane" by Dylan, because it's not as if there's an enormous amount of other songs that could be recommended. We all know that's about "demographics" too. And really, "Hurricane" is dreck. I'm also not a fan of people recommending live versions of anything. They usually suck. With certain exceptions, like AIC Love Hate Love.

[@io2467.]

@therealimnotjiminy I think some live versions can be good. But yes, most suck compared to the studio versions. And oh my god yes, The Who by Numbers is by far the worst Who album with Keith.

[@therealimnotjiminy]

@@io2467. Agreed. Some live versions are good. But anyone should always listen to the studio versions first. ALL of the effort for the artist to get what he wants out of the song is in that version. The Who by Numbers...LOL

Please try bass-o-matic with fascinating rhythm it's a dance hit from the early 90's and I think you'll like it, as it has a rap twist in the middle 😊

[@seamusburke639]

The lyrics were inspired by a real life incident. Pete Townshend came out of a long meeting straightening out The Who's finances, and even though he was successful, he was understandably strung out and went on a bender across London. Waking up in a Soho doorway and being sent off by a police officer who recognized him really happened. The part about the story that sticks out to me, though, is apparently at one point Pete ran into the Sex Pistols and they were concerned at how drunk and despondent Pete was. Just the image of Johnny Rotten patting a drunk Pete Townshend on the back like: "It's gonna be okay, man..."

[@bobashley7533]

I was 13 when this was released & my 13 year old ears were stunned & amazed they could drop an F bomb in a song

I have an interesting first date story. I was suppose to go to dinner than a movie. My date's mom made him dinner, so we were going to just go to a movie. We stopped at a place to have a drink first. I made the mistake of drinking on an empty stomach. So in the middle of the movie I went to the bathroom and vomited. I did not tell my date. The end of the date comes and he goes to kiss me. I shook his hand instead...lol...I eventually told him why several dates later. He has wondered why I shook his hand that night, happy I chose to do that instead of kissing him...lol...

Amazing how hearing something over & over will make someone think ohh yeah, I know this…. But they really have no idea what it’s about. I think lots of reactions are too dependent on, Oh I know this was in a commercial or movie somewhere. Everything has been on a commercial or movie. But if you bought the record, put the needle on, and listened…… it was a different experience. Love y’all’s channel .

[@mikecaetano]

The Rolling Stones, sure, easy, because they lean on the "whoo hoos" in many of their songs -- "Sympathy for the Devil", "Miss You", and "Doo Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)" -- right there in the title! Heh. The Who dropped "Who Are You" right around the time I got my first boom box. It was just the right size to fasten to the handlebars on my bicycle with a bungee cord or two. And when batteries lasted longer playing the radio instead of a cassette, songs like this made listening to the local FM rock radio station easy and right when I was finding my own music apart from my parents and school and the rest. That was the seventies, later seventies. Anyway. It was cool at first when The Who songs took over television in the late nineties, but saturation, over saturation, now fortunately fading so that the music itself can shine through. For a taste of The Who from way back check out "I Can't Explain", "Substitute", and "Pictures of Lily" or perhaps "I Can See For Miles".

[@Tomi_BuzzCat]

Some of My favorite ' The Who ' songs: - ' Won't Get Fooled Again ' (* CSi: Miami) - ' Baba O'Reilly (* Teenage Wasteland) ' (* CSi: NY) - ' Join Together '( with the band) - ' Can't Explain ' - ' ( I Can See for) Miles and Miles ' - ' Pictures of Lily '( Lilli is My daughter) ... got lots more, BUT that'll be enough for now ✌🏻😸✌🏻

I was living in Dallas Texas in 1975 working at a pizza parlor. This pizza parlor had waitresses and I had a crush on one of them. I had bought tickets to go see Led Zeppelin months before. It was their Physical Graffiti tour. I decided to take this waitress that I worked with and halfway through the concert, she fell asleep because she was bored. To this day, I don't know how you fall asleep at a Led Zeppelin concert but she did. I had already made plans to go out with friends of mine after the concert but she wanted to go home. So, I gave her taxi fare and told her goodbye. My roommate was especially upset with me because he wanted that ticket.
