Roger Daltrey interview 1975 pt 1

[@grahamblack1961]

Roger was very clean living, he looks so healthy and fit, like an athlete. He had such an irrepressible energy.

[@motorcitymanman7711]

What do you mean "was" he still lives clean and excercises as much as a guy almost 80 can!

[@justinneill5003]

Yes, he managed to keep his feet on the ground and tried to get the others to do likewise but sadly couldn’t help Keith. While they were rolling the up their sleeves for the needle, he was rolling up his sleeves to get stuck in down on his farm. I’ve just finished reading his autobiography, it’s a great read, and a rollercoaster ride as you would imagine.

[@kevinhanney1979]

@@justinneill5003 Daltrey wasn't a choir boy on the road while married....he says he once confiscated the others drugs and flushed 'em...Daltrey was addicted to pain killers....so yeah maybe he wasn't alcoholic like Pete, or a sex/coke addict like John, and didn't take animal tranquilizers like Keith--but he wasn't running to confession every other week!

[@HeidiIvy]

wow, handsome lad. oh when i was a little girl i loved him so.

[@ianhunterfan]

Roger is beautiful....loved his hair always!

[@wildliongirl]

Interviewer: You have beautiful eyes... Roger: ... (WTF?)

[@WeaponsEducation]

Roger Daltrey new autobiography is AMAZING. Listen to it on your Kindle! He is such a nice man plus extremely smart.

[@justinneill5003]

Or you could be a rebel and actually sit down and read the book properly! Just finished it, and it really is a gripping read, puts a new perspective on a lot of what happened over the years and his personal journey. Some valuable lessons for life in there too.

[@WeaponsEducation]

@@justinneill5003 The book is read in his voice.

[@soph4736]

he’s literally one of the most beautiful men i’ve ever seen omg

[@abbywatson1459]

6:10-6:24 the interviewer is literally me

[@langstonanderson6558]

The best frontman in rock!!

[@4everClassicrock]

why can't I find a guy like Roger?! I

[@dragicavujanovic]

There is only one and only Roger Daltrey

[@TheBeatlefloyd]

i swear this interviewer has a crush on roger...

[@SoftTangerineDreams]

Same though

[@greatgiginthesky212]

Roger's sooo beautiful :D

[@privettricker]

I remember watching this when it was first on, Sunday morning before going to church!

[@digthemusicman483]

Fancy meeting you here!

[@DXhardy831]

is the interviewer hitting on him? do not blame him

[@blackmore4]

Haha. In an uber-weird 70s kind of way, I think he might be ;)

[@SoftTangerineDreams]

Who wouldn't?

[@Arientis]

Roger is devilishly handsome!

[@meltheartist1147]

No, he’s Angelic 😇😇😇🩵♥️

[@rocnoir4233]

Good heavens he couldn't get a word in. Nothing has changed..interviewers still doing what they do. Loved it though, thanks for the upload.

[@matthewobrien534]

Roger is the most likable person ever to come out of rock and roll. Not a bad singer either!!!

[@daves2058]

A great singer!

[@HappyFlamingoBirds-xz6yb]

Not a bad singer?😂😂😂😂 He's none other than one of the greatest voices in rock! Certainly a top 10!!

[@waynedodgin7449]

He was pretty spot on!..."The next big jump"as Roger put it was punk which had started its climb but really really kick into gear a year later in 76.

[@lindadixon4341]

Love him for ever!

[@starcrossedfight]

his hair looks sooooo soft....so beauitufl

[@aljforever01]

I think Roger Daltrey , ..(Along with River Phoenix, ) Are the most amazing men that ever livedd .

[@klee13401]

Who thinks that Roger wants to run away from this guy? haha

[@MrDukemeister]

If I dude commented on my eyes I'd scratch my head and wonder if he was hitting on me. And this was 1975!

[@SittingFox-yo2oo]

Rock and Roll made society better.... Rap made it worse. That is the absolute truth.

[@johnzackarias11]

How?

[@savannahfulbananaful]

Justin Lee Bradley funny how the old guys of the 1950s-70s said the same thing about rock n roll

[@blackmore4]

I think there's more to the original post's idea than just 'change'. ALL the music acts of the 60s and 70s - whether hard rock, hard funk, whatever - _were_ more concerned with making society better. The (very broad) overall message was one of unity, coming together... kicking down doors, sure, but to open new and better ones. And, however corny and idealistic, peace and love (man). While rap obviously has some brilliant political observation, if you look at the overall message, there's way more about personal gain, the objectification of wealth and, most disturbingly, infantile machismo which denigrates women as nothing more than just another disposable trinket.

[@theweatheraviator]

rock n roll makes life better

[@johnzackarias11]

@@DefundTheFringes Spoken like someone who truly doesn't understand rap! First off, you can't make blanket statements like that about an entire genre. There's PLENTY of misogyny in rock music, does that make all of rock music misogynistic? Of course not. Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, Macklemore, Immortal Technique are just a few examples of rap music that 100% do not reflect what you are talking about.

[@5jerry1]

Daltrey is leaning away from the interviewer; he looks uncomfortable.

[@plaidpretzel]

That interviewer is hitting on Roger....

[@rockyfranklin1578]

to answer yer (rhetorical?) question if no one has, he did the solo album because pete was recording the tommy soundtrack and had put the who on hiatus. Roger Daltrey was filming Listzomania (think that's right) with Ken Russell during the day and recorded the album at night. As far as I know he never intended it to be a solo career it was just something to do before the Who by Numbers album and Who 10th Anniversary Tour. Hope that helps.

[@nonoiker]

I was kind of annoyed by the stupid american interviewer pushing hin like a kid. Your heard in the beginning, Roger knew punk was coming soon. This was in 1975.

[@johnisallin]

man, that interviewer wants Roger to abuse him backstage!!

[@motorcitymanman7711]

I thought the host was gonna ask him for a date when he was cooing over Daltreys Blue eyes!! 😄

[@unholypants]

its weird to see him looking back at his career when this was only 1975 haha

[@adrianabvitucci5856]

Along with Robert Plant he was my massive crush.

[@steviea427]

I actually saw this on TV. It was a children's show called "Wonderama" and it was on Sunday mornings from 6:00 - 10:00 am. Bob McAllister was the host and would show cartoons and have contests with the studio audience for prizes like games and bicycles. He was a known magician in the New York City area where this was aired. I went to see the show once and he had the Hughes Corporation with their big hit "Don't Rock the Boat." I was 6. I had no idea what was going on! GREAT FUN!!

[@steviea427]

One more thing. This was before cable even existed. This was local television. It was on channel 5 WNEW New York.

[@hazor777]

+steviea427 Ha! Great story - and I was gonna post a question asking what show this was , so thanks for the info. I remember something similar when I was a kid (same era) : ZOOM & Land Of The Lost had a production tour , touring several cities, and we saw it in Atlanta , at a mall. I'll never forget they had all these kids in an auditorium and after the Zoom bit, they turned the lights out , and turned on a strobe light , then a couple of Sleestaks came out and did the "Zombie walk' - I think I was 3 or so - terrified and crying, haha! It's hilarious , now that I think about it. The 70's were such a great, great time to be a kid!

[@longliverock1973]

roger must feel so weird the is interviewer is like hitting on his "You have the most beautiful eyes roger" but he does.

[@scottwallace901]

The Interviewer seams like a nice guy but he dosent know what he is talking about. He should have learned more about Roger before the tv show.

[@tosinmcboy]

Roger he looks very healthy. And he’s our favourite actor for playing the role as Tommy and he’s fit

[@Orbit6874]

Daltrey is God!

[@ComedicArtist866]

had a dream about him last night.

[@Chrisdrumz]

Used to watch Wonderama all the time when I was a kid.

[@LightningMultiBolt]

Was ready for that video!!

[@daves2058]

He predicted punk!

[@kanemura93]

He sure is, you can't blame the host for becoming gay during the interview ;) The close up on his face when the interview continues after "Proud" is played is just awesome :)

[@Scoot12321]

2:50 I think hes predicting punk rock exploding here. It's less of a prediction actually and more of a statement imo, as he is a insider in the music biz and would be aware about scenes popping up.

[@Lizzthaashizz]

He seems kind of uneasy....I think the creepy interviewer is making him nervous haha

[@519djw6]

Wasn't "Wonderama" some kind of little kids' show, aimed at the same audience as "Sesame Street," for instance?

[@wildliongirl]

Thanks :D

[@CommuneRecords]

Is the interviewer (Bob McAllister) wearing a Tommy Holiday Camp uniform??

[@wildliongirl]

Can anyone give the exact time when the interviewer says 'you have beautiful eyes'?

[@NimrodelMirage]

It's been 10 years, and you may be dead by now, but here's the answer: 6:12

[@tonydardi332]

@@NimrodelMirage hahahahaha that’s the strange thing about the internet isn’t it? I see comments 10 and 11 years old and think gee that person could be gone. Kinda creepy huh

[@ragingbull2001]

are there 7 people in the audience? 1:41

[@AlwaysAzzy]

What's the name of the song when he walks in?

[@YoSoyZuri]

I have green eyes and I don't particularly like blue eyes. I like the depth of brown eyes. Also most blue eyes are ordinary but in Roger Daltrey's case his eyes are the nicest , clearer blue eyes ever!! So, In his case, I have to say I do like his blue eyes!! :))

[@dragicavujanovic]

like anybody else, I think:-)

[@meltheartist1147]

You should see them up close. I’ve have been talking to him , one to one - up close, inches away, at sunset, with the bright orange sun 🌞 shining in his eyes and it’s almost too much to take. His eyes in real light of day life have a bit of a sea-aqua cast to the blue and it is literally breathtaking !!!!!!! ❤. I have never in my life seen prettier eyes. Only some babies I’ve seen have ever gotten even close, and their eyes almost always change as they get older. He is an Angel on Earth 🌍. And not just in looks and talent, but he should get a Knighthood for all he’s done with the Teenage cancer Trust. I will love 💕 him until the day I die. I’ve loved him over 50 years, since I was a preteen. 🌹💕🩵💕😇🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🍀

[@rachiec12]

its around 6:12

[@kevinhanney1979]

Is this guy really complimenting Roger's eyes? I mean okay, but I'm not sure Roger plays that way...let Roger talk, he's obviously smarter than you; more introspective.

[@blahdeblah1975]

The next big leap forward was Disco!

[@waynedodgin7449]

I was thinking Punk!

[@maxsavagetheshredinator5840]

@@waynedodgin7449 Nope Van Halen and Yngwie Malmsteen. We're talking the way musicians play instruments not fashion trends.

[@powderfinger71]

2.50 onwards- he knew punk was coming

[@maxsavagetheshredinator5840]

Nah he knew Van Halen was coming. Hard rock and roll that was based on musicianship like the who would be shot for the next leap forward by Eddie and that would move guitar playing towards the 80's. Honestly punk rock was just trendy preformance art that never was about playing instruments or being a musician. He is talking about the next leap forward musically with notes and technique not fashion trends. Musically punk is just power chords and basically one drum beat all the time they didn't innovate anything besides dressing like a wanker.

[@ltyr-mr2if]

So the excerpt of Walking the Dog doesn't even have Daltrey singing! What a joke.

[@kanemura93]

Yeah :P "Wowhahaha...how about that?!?" after the nude-scene in Tommy and "You have the bluest eyes ive ever seen on a man...they are beatuiful!!"
