The High Numbers- I Gotta Dance to Keep From Crying (Live 1964)

[@andyriley992]

THE WHOLE VIBE IS WILD

[@123jhouse]

Even if you're stone deaf to how good Mooney's playing is, his style of playing is so fucking unique. Ain't never been anybody as good before, during or after.

[@Peppers19781978]

Greatest drummer ever!

[@loafoid]

[@ryanallen1396]

I love how they were singing a Motown song! I was born in 1967 in Detroit and all radio stations played Motown music 24/7 back then. To be honest, I got tired of hearing Motown music all the time. Every TV commercial; every radio station. But, I love how the Brits, like "The Jam" and Clash took the great Motown music and went with it. The Who too, of course.

[@potenseat]

This is, hands off, the most mmagical video that I ever saw in my whole lifetime.

[@darrenbennett06]

Keith Moon was a master of his craft even back then as an 18 year old.

[@MrBamcito]

Keith Moon inspired by Gene Krupa her teacher0

[@DR-mq1vn]

I know! He is so young and adorable!

[@garymay799]

Ye raving mad man love him

[@timothysader7060]

You can tell it just came naturally to him , no matter what he did in a drum fill he always came back in on perfect time !! I’ve had friends say he was “sloppy” , I totally disagree !! I could listen to Keith play all day and not get tired of it !! Not technical ..... but musical .

This might be considered one of the greatest documentations of rock music in the early 60s. Everything about it is so rock and roll. From Daltrey’s badass shades, to Keith Moon gleefully mouthing the lyrics at the beginning. Not to mention a great song with an even better melody. Gives me chills…

[@vernonsmith6176]

Ah....a great cover of smokey robinson song.

[@illiteracy]

Sixty years ago... unbelievable.

[@adrischneider9379]

I love the way John is singing the high notes in the chorus. it gives me goosebumps everytime I listen to this masterpiece.

Yeah, considering "Boris the Spider". Talk about range.

[@koont666]

What an amazing version ❤🇬🇧

[@johnniecanuck]

This video shows just how unique Keith Moon was, and how much the Who are missing that critical element . Zach Starkey is a great drummer. Keith Moon was the Who's drummer tho.

[@edwardmiller2329]

Kenny Jones did OK, too - but he wasn't Keith.

[@F1lmtwit]

Ya, Zach could keep a beat.

[@allanjones6415]

Zack it's not a official The Who drummer, he's okay but not is official member.

Is that Ringo junior?

Fascinating footage, I can't stop watching this.

[@me-fl5rg]

i love how you can see keith mindlessly mouthing along to the lyrics,,,, its just so wholesome and precious wtf

No, He isn’t “mindlessly singing” he is singing because he’s copying the melody with his drumming 💕

When you see this clip, you are seen the work and vision of The Who s managers. They conceived the image of this band, from the beginning,

[@someguy42093]

And marketed them to guys rather than women. Lol

[@letsstartawarsaidmaggieoneday]

I saw Roger Daltrey live in 2022. He was great

this is great I'm a massive fan of the who and this is deaf the earliest i my self have seen of them they look so young and moon so tame lol but its quite noticeable that he nocks it up a notch when he notices the camera on him such a show boat

This is good, but if you were there in ‘64 and someone told you that’s an arguable best drummer, and an arguable best bass player, and one of the best guitar players, what would you have said?

I see it here- well it’s harder with the simple bass line- but the tone is great- but who could play like Moon here?

[@citymad2mancitymad644]

Kool 😮

[@fredceely]

Thank God that Keith never had a drum lesson. He taught himself to be the perfect drummer for the Who.

[@nostromo526]

Carlo Little was Keith Moon’s drum teacher. The first thing he taught him was to play louder and work your way around the kit. To say Keith took this to heart would be a severe understatement. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goWanJRrp6-WqqM

[@corrindion]

WOW!!!

[@mikethomson7650]

2016 keep playing

[@gigisdad]

The visual between what John appears to be playing and what I'm hearing don't match up. Starting at around 0:14, John's fingers are plucking wildly but I only seem to hear 2 notes alternating between E and A flat.

[@christinecollins6648]

Noticed to but like with Hendrix and Moon ( and Townshend)it’s always hard to know how Entwistle is actually producing sound . Stamp or whoever made the promo film probably shot randomly and cut wildly.
