The Definitive Won't Get Fooled Again

[@dweebonic23]

It's amazing that Daltrey never brained anyone with the mic.

[@TheGranty1739]

Anyone doing that is a tit.

[@wmrxb15]

I turned it up LOUD.... Holy Shit!!! Nearly knocked the paintings off the freakin wall!!!!!!

[@josephkolmansky8965]

It was high time someone decided to cut according to the musical interest of what is shown. Hats off to the brilliant work especially for the chance to see John when he plays some off his best licks.

[@Warbux2112]

I came for the Scream, the Loon, the Ox , the Voice, and the ..........Slide. Incomparable.

[@everydaystuffandthingsguy4554]

I have often asked myself this question: What was the greatest rock song ever recorded? I understand that such a question is opinion and not fact because an answer to that question is subjective and an opinion. As I get older I fancy myself a rock historian because of the years invested in my love of music on such a deep level wanting to know everything that I could about every band and the history of the band and how they made certain songs. What was the inspiration behind the song? How did the song come together? How did they record it? The dynamics of the band? I thought about this song and this band a lot. This band is damn near perfect collectively. You know it’s the Who because nobody sounds like them. This song is damn near perfection! From start to finish it is incredible with each member part of this perfect masterpiece. This is the greatest Rock song of all time!

[@danvers0549]

BEST live group ever!! Wish I could have seen the whole gig..Saw them first in '65..They are amazing!

[@burningrabbitacres8330]

Thank you Sameer!!!! One love❤

[@ironhide70]

the leyend never die long live the who

[@afibber]

This IS the definitive edit of this performance in my opinion, and I absolutely love the original "Kids Are Alright" edit which I watched about twenty times at the Tower Theater in Philly when it came out, and perhaps hundreds of times after it hit various video media... well done by The Who, and yourself!

[@metallideth83]

this is SO much better than the original version! great job, dude!

[@FilmBros]

Some of the most animated, unbridled, letting it all hang out Pete.

[@Gamarama8]

The blue laser lights starting at 7:17 were the same used in ALIEN!!

[@scarpergirl]

I've never seen such an exciting cut of this. Amazingly well cut.

[@JStarStar00]

This is called "spiking the ball in the end zone."

[@julietparry6688]

That WAS AMAZING!!!!!! Breathless!!

[@whsonic]

fantastic clip! It's great how Ox is looking when Pete throws the cymbal in the air (9:31).

[@3Bernie]

That's why I love this band cuz it gives me goosbumps

[@TheHappySpaceman]

Such an amazing performance just got better. Thanks.

[@wolfshozzer]

Wow today is May 28 so this is 32 years old... Anyway I like how the power slide is in regular speed, all of the other vids on youtube have it in slow motion. Great job on the editing

[@johnsurrey7426]

Apparently the drum track was re-recorded because the original had so many mistakes in (see Pete’s concern for Keith at the end). Does anyone know where you can hear the original drum track? The Who were undoubtedly the best live band ever!!!!

[@tazkb]

the hammond organ is one of man kinds best inventions

[@ZachValkyrie]

I could watch that slide at 8m27s all day! great edit!

[@RubberSoul846]

Greatest concert performers ever!

[@marktheelf53]

The Who pushed me to buy a guitar at the age of 12..after their concert in Rome. They will be forever the first rock band..no Zeppelin, no one other!

[@journeythruthepast]

This performance is everything I love about rock & roll. It doesn't even seem cliche, just a perfect send-off for the Moon-era Who, before anything they did seemed too distant or in the past. Still in their 30s, still vital and incredibly pissed. If only Moonie was at the height of his drumming abilities still!

[@jimmyjam4ever]

Thanks for the great upload.

[@stephenokeefe7068]

He smacked it into Keith Moons drumkit and sent him into a rage, destroyed his drums in the middle of a show, thus became a legend...my thing is how many mac's Daltrey went through ?

[@905Alive]

my brother saw the mike go flying out of Rogers grasp once and crash into speakers making a wild noise, I've heard of another where the mike went into the drums, not sure if he ever hit anyone, odds are he did with the amount of shows the did

[@ScuddyGuitarsThings]

As performances go I don't think this was their definitve version of the song, However, it's definitely the best filmed and recorded. And their frustration at having to play the song repeatedly comes across in excellent fashion. It's one of my favourite live videos ever.

[@PJNARS]

Watch every frame and you'll never be the same!! The Who didn't just play Rock N' Roll---They ARE Rock n Roll!

[@GreenRiver72]

The genius is that it is simultaneously both in the trenches and the officer's club, no matter Who's in charge...

[@zzyoman]

the timing of tht power slide is impecable

[@JStarStar00]

I wonder how many times over the years Pete got clouted with Daltrey's flying mike. LOL.

[@burningrabbitacres8330]

Prototypic laser show fucking glorious.❤

[@ScuddyGuitarsThings]

I still don't know which edit is my favourite, but I do like the alternate angle on the powerslide here.

[@schmittelt]

@ around 8:59 Roger catches his mic and it comes less than a foot from Pete's head. Pete notices and gives a quick double take. I love that!

[@morklind]

I was at the charlton fc gig in 76 .. bad seats at the back .. or so I thought .. man! it was fucking LOOOOOUUUUUDD! .. I remember thinking those poor bastards at the front.

[@whonut]

Brilliant post mate!

[@burrowsreise]

Simply awesome!

[@mwrobbin]

Brilliant work!

[@PJNARS]

I LOVE when Pete literally "Gives Blood at about 6:15 !!! oh oh oh !!! watch and see ohh oh

[@Smakutus]

Awesome job on this video..

[@TGiannini007]

Awesome!

[@Frankincensedjb123]

I LOVE this shit! It is LIFE!

[@3Bernie]

Its sad that people say they don't like this like that scream gives tear drops to my eyes

[@MrLogan8r]

every band should reference this video if they want to become great at live performances

[@ronb9191]

entwistle cool as fck and flawless. sad loss.

[@dimethaltryptamine1]

WOWWWwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Need I say more ;)

[@Frankincensedjb123]

Try, just TRY to compare ANY shit band of toady to this. Rock royalty. Top shelf. One of a kind to never be seen again. Te amo!

[@BROSBEFOREHOSS]

Much better than the original, Nice job ! :)

[@terminalninja]

you should of slow motioned the bit where he does the famous jump at the end, that would of been awesome :D.

[@MrGb1965]

The definitive Won’t Get Fooled Again is Stockholm 1972.

[@k1llk1ngph30n1x]

@livelifefit yeah i know, i got it too :P. i was just telling you fyi :)

[@CT68]

The part from 7:17 to 8:18 always reminds me of the end of the movie 2001.

[@matthewjosephharrington6773]

Idiots cut out those first three thumps. You are not an idiot. Makes a nice change.

[@schultz970]

I'd like to do to American Idol what Townshend does to a Les Paul.

[@canonigoemma]

The Who Lyrics Videoke

[@ziovas]

Its the who because I saw Keith Moon

[@ZachValkyrie]

they should have set off fireworks at 8:28!

[@markothwriter]

When Townsend goes over to the stack.............does he turn it up to 11?

[@wolfshozzer]

@wolfshozzer May 25 I mean

[@Nightwing690]

[@michaelh102]

You couldn't get much realer.

[@terminalninja]

[@runningonice-music605]

How on Earth did we end up with the likes of Coldplay and Elbow?!…………

[@yayis401]

@sbamkmfdmdfmk QUE GRAN SALTO EL DE PETE TOWSHEND

[@k1llk1ngph30n1x]

@livelifefit wrong, theyre all on coke except for the singer, who was mostly sober.

[@garnetfaulkner4667]

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again A change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fold, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again, no, no I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half-alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do you? Yeah There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are effaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new Constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again, no, no Yeah Meet the new boss Same as the old boss Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Peter Townshend
