I love when younger people love our older music. We lived in the best era for music!!🎵🎸🤘

[@luckylisa5496]

We had NO IDEA how lucky we were to grow up with this music! I actually feel sorry for younger generations having nothing but crappy auto tune pop songs, new Country (pop with a twang!) and so-so rock bands to listen to.

[@toddrotton218]

Roger Daltry the guy who sang " I hope I die before I get old" in my generation is turning 80. Thank God he's not too old to rock still. Rock on Roger. Love hearing that voice.

[@korybeavers6528]

Happy Birthday Roger Daltry!! he turns 80 tomorrow

[@bostonwhofan]

Also, The Who are performing several gigs at the end of March in London for their annual Teenage Cancer Trust charity concerts. Teenage Cancer Trust is similar to the Ronald McDonald house except for it focuses on housing near hospitals for teenagers who are battling cancer. Squeeze is the opening band and other artists including Robert Plant and Eddie Vedder will also be performing.

​@NotThatJen Same here. I don't know if it was the small radio market where I grew up or what.......but we didn't hear the "scrubbed and sanitized" version until about 15 years ago. Thank God the morality police came in and saved my "soul" just before my 45th birthday 😁!

One of the greatest rock songs ever made. Pete Townshend wrote some of the greatest rock and roll tunes of all time.

[@eschaflowne]

You really need to hear “Baba O’Reily.”

[@tjrivers]

The Who also made a rock opera, Tommy, which was also made into a movie and I think, a play too. It’s about a deaf, dumb, blind Pinball wizard…awesome album in toto. Really cute pup ya got there!

[@nickcangemi]

They actually made two album-length rock operas! The other being Quadrophenia (1973).

[@louisejohnson6057]

​@@nickcangemiQuadrophenia is an amazing album!

[@matthawkins8880]

Next one should be Baba O'reilly (Won't Get Fooled Again) or Behind Blue Eyes.

[@CdnTrader1]

Shon is ready for the musical journey of The Who. Try ‘Baba O’Reilly’, ‘Boris The Spider’, ‘Squeezebox’, ‘Love Reign O’er Me’, ‘Behind Blue Eyes’, ‘Eminence Front’. That would be chapter 1 of The Who text book.

[@JeffreyTheTaylor]

...This song is based on a day in the life of Pete Townshend. It began with a very long meeting dealing with royalties for his songs: "Eleven hours in the Tin Pan, God, there's got to be another way." The "Tin Pan" he is referring to is Denmark Street, the "Tin Pan Alley" of London where many music publishers and songwriters were based. After this excruciating meeting he received a large check for royalties, left, went to a bar and got completely drunk. In that bar he encountered Paul Cook and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols, who thought very highly of Pete for paving the way for punk rock music. Townshend was conflicted because he feared The Who had sold out, and seeing The Sex Pistols, who were icons of rebellion, exacerbated him even more. Pete left that bar and passed out in a random doorway in Soho (a part of London). A policeman recognized him ("A policeman knew my name") and being kind, woke him and told him, "You can go sleep at home tonight (instead of a jail cell), if you can get up and walk away." Pete's response: "Who the f--k are you?" ... www.songfacts.com/facts/the-who/who-are-you

The who was considered one of the greatest live bands ever. Age old question stones vs Beatles answer the who

[@TheMightyShank]

His voice isn’t raspy….. It’s FEROCIOUS ! Thee absolute greatest rock group of all time

[@toddrotton218]

You are right about them being one of the greats. Possibly the most overlooked and underrated band of all time. I started thinking about their songs that I love and holy $#!+. Longevity and a cool name too. Who are they ? One of the greatest

[@darrylbirt6049]

The Who, just like Pink Floyd are an experience. I was introduced to them by my cousin when I moved to Scotland at 14. I'm 50 now and have only one regret. I never saw them live!

[@codjh9]

I wish you could've a ways back. I saw them in Austin in 1980, Dallas in 1982, but the Austin show was indoors and was just incredible. Also saw Pete in 1979 in London, and that was a great show too.

[@Fairygrl_TW]

Last time I saw the Who live in concert was at the The Who concert disaster in Cincinnati at the Riverfront Coliseum December 3, 1979, which ended in tragedy where 11 fellow concert goers were killed in stampede outside the doors. It was an amazing concert but such a tragic end. It was a scary night, I was only a teenager (14) and never witnessed anything like it before. The band was devastated and never played Cincinnati again until...forty-three years after that tragic night, the Who finally returned to Cincinnati. Thanx so much, take care, Peace

[@Whateva67]

Wow man,that’s cool 😎. I was only 12 in 79 and didn’t really listen to the Who much until the mid 80s. Love them

[@davidburton9136]

Yeah, you get it! They really were that good! The Who made a LOT of songs like this, and even better. And they were easily the best live band I've seen. Untouchable!

[@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus]

Great reaction sir. I'd suggest 'Behind Blue Eyes' next. Cheers.

The synth sounds your hearing is Pete's guitar running through the ARP 2600 synthesizer. Amazing sounds.

[@vieella389]

One of the best road trip songs of all time!

[@jimbryl2614]

There is also a promotional video of the song and you get to see the personalities of the band members as they record this song.

[@watchwmn]

Awesome! Got to see them live one time, it was kick- ass! Tight! Love this song- you might like their song, " Behind Blue Eyes" one of my favorites.

[@xanajak]

This song is played during one of the best scenes of Louie when he takes his daughters on a country drive to see their grandmother.

[@johntarnowski9086]

Greatest Rock Band Ever

[@robbob5302]

This was the 70’s. When Originality was Standard Issue from a Rock band. When all bets were off. And every rule had bullseye on it, waiting to be broken.

[@hollygolightly1302]

I LOVED this concert! I saw them back in '81 or '82 at the Kingdome in Seattle before it was torn down! ❤

[@justjack0715]

How prophetic... Look at the words on Keith's chair, it says "not to be taken away." This wound up being his last album. He died shortly thereafter! 😳

[@enchantedwooddesigns3462]

Their sound is why they have been a top band to me since I was a kid )

[@lightningbug276]

I saw them in concert but after Keith Moon died. Ringo Star’s son sat in for him. Great Concert

[@Juanjin1961]

Happy birthday Roger. Rock God

[@scottNNJ]

The Who has some brilliant and unique instrumentals in their songs. “Love Reign O’er Me” is my absolute favorite, from a musical perspective.

[@ScottDeBerg]

FYI - Keith Moon is the great original drummer of the Who. Unfortunately he’s also part of the “27 Club” - a group of famous musicians who died when they were 27 years old. This was the last album that Keith was the drummer before he passed away. He’s the one sitting on the chair that is labeled “not to be taken away”.

[@amitabhhajela681]

He was 32 when he died (1946-1978)

[@Serai3]

Those little ripply-beepy-boopy sounds are from a synthesizer. The 70's were the synthesizer decade, when bands were experimenting in crazy ways with them. Townsend liked to use them for atmosphere and for those long solos.

[@martinellis7156]

Great music never dies.

[@BurkleyBarthel-rp5pt]

Nice pup man. And you got it!

[@chrislaustin]

I became a fan of The Who from clips like WGFA, as it lit a fire in me of what a kick ass live performance could and should be. But The Who's library is beyond deep and you'll almost never hear the same song twice. Pete the bands guitarist and main song writer was just on another level, and even when the lyrics might not have been that deep, you will certainly move your feet. Their "Live at Leeds" album is considered the greatest live Rock & Roll recording of all time, and personally I would agree. I'm sure you'll get tons of recommendations for songs, but I'll leave a few anyways. I think you would really like "Behind Blue Eyes" for the subject matter, and "A Quick One" from the Rolling Stones R & R Circus is another killer live performance that has to be seen to be believed.

[@robbob5302]

The Who were my first concert ever. And still my best concert ever. They have lots and lots and lots of hit songs. Amazing songs. From the mid 60s to the early 80s, they just cranked them out non-stop. My favorite song by them is Eminence Front. But you can just close your eyes and jump in the rabbit hole anywhere. You can’t go wrong with The Who.

[@dianesaienni5466]

oh I love your dog cameo! he/she was rocking! Adorable

[@nidatracy274]

I may be well versed in music simply because I was raised by my grandparents part of the time and my Grandma's born in 19 0 2. She brought me and she took me when I she was 72 years old. She came from the Missouri ozarks. Say you want to talk a tough womand Yelp, am I great aunt? Even tougher, we had 6 feet of snow out there. And she was still splitting around wood at 99. Then she was making a homemade angel food cake and an old wood stove and complained the entire time because your son kept telling her she couldn't split wood and that using the room to cover for footprints wasn't gonna do any good and my great auntie said that's too bad as long. As I can sweat wood, I'm gonna sweat it. Why not? I'm not dad. You should keep on doing it so. Come from pretty good Montana, stock there. But you seem to have an open mind and I just enjoy you. I think you're just a darling

Such a powerful Band. Lyrically, instrumentally, &, Personality. It has been said that The Who were a Band with a Lead Singer, Lead Guitarist, Lead Bass Player, &, Lead Drummer.

[@robbob5302]

The Who introduced the synthesizer to the world, with their classic hit Baba O’Riley.

[@sj49770]

The Beatles used a Moog before that. In "Strawberry Fields Forever" iirc.

[@Ebvidur]

@@sj49770 The Beatles didn't have the moog up untill 1969, so strawberry fields had a mellotron. Beatles didn't really use the moog that much, I believe it was only on here comes the sun and I want you. On I want you it was just white noise, and in here comes the sun it mimics the guitar. The Who had the first real song that was built around a synthesizer.

[@Coolrockndad]

"Love Reign O'ver Me" by the Who is a must react to.

[@bella-xp7qd]

They use portions of this song on The Masked Singer. Also on CSI

[@fredblassie]

[@cindydegraaff5083]

Did you watch any of the CSI shows? All of the shows had/ have a unique theme song from The Who. ( Who Are You, Don’t Get Fooled Again) That’s where most of your generation knows their songs from.

[@cyclops60]

Decent song and well known through CSI TV, but they've done so much better. The Who are up there with Stones and Kinks for being great British bands that started in the 60's. Four brilliant individual musicians that made magic when they came together. 'My generation', 'Substitute', 'The kids are alright', 'I can see for miles',' Pinball Wizard', 'Baba O'reilly', 'Behind blue eyes', 5:15, 'Love reign o'er me' to name just a few hits. The albums 'Who's Next' and 'Quadrophenia' are my favourites, both masterpieces. Cheers
