Best version of this song is on the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus.

true

[@turgondoitean1378]

I disagree, I prefer this version because the vocals are a lot more powerful although the Rock and Roll Circus version is a lot cleaner.

[@dyk910523]

Yea but we don't get Moon's funny commentary and kiss to the Ox on that one!

[@knickd1979]

Does anyone else get this overwhelming feeling of longing while watching The Who in their prime?? I mean, they were so so so great that it pains me that these days are gone. There will never be another band that is this powerful on stage ever again.

[@timrock01]

Just that they came up with a Rock Opera in 1968 or so was a feat for in itself... I mean, WOW!!! Saw it live!

[@Mrmorlam1]

I second that.

[@yesman2755]

Definitely. I saw the Who in 1967, my first ever live gig. Townsend smashed his guitar to bits right in front of me and my brother ( we were 15 and 17). Life changing experience. Still burned into my memory like it was yesterday.

[@ronaldyardley8965]

Yes I feel the same, it's a shame, I loved the Who years, Bingly Hall 75' was my favourite, CRIPES wot a day, waited all day Sat, got to the front the Who came on and goodness me the power!.. and then Swansea 76"..

Keith's drumming was such an integral part of the sound of The Who. Never duplicated.

[@bobwobbabble5151]

Arguably one of the most creative musicians ever. All of them

[@anthonygerace8926]

Absolutely. Also, I would pay money to watch a three-hour video of just Keith Moon busting Pete Townshend's balls in between songs in live performances. It's like watching two middle-school kids.

[@user-zr9bh7nq3m]

The greatest drummer ever the greatest Bass player ever. One of the greatest guitar players ever. One of the greatest front men ever. PETE TOWNSHEND is a musical genius. Put them together and what do we have. THE WHO GREATEST ROCK BAND EVER EVER. I SAW THE WHO 5 TIME'S AND MY EARS ARE STILL RINGING AND I LOVE IT.

Keith kissing John was one of the most funniest moments! I have this Dvd and I have watched it countless times.. to be totally honest, I would've loved to have met Keith and go on some crazy crusades with him. RIP Keith and John, y'all were and still are the greatest ever! ❤️❤️❤️

[@shannonschaerer1010]

I Feel The Same - Would've loved to party with Keith for even just 24hrs - He KNEW How to have FUN - & could get away with Crazy Shit! If I could go back in time (1Time) - See an early Who show, & then Party with Keith after - that's what I would do - without a Doubt. Not The Stones or The Beatles or The Kinks. I am too Young to have seen the Loon, But I was lucky to see Entwistel with Rodger & Pete preform QUADROPHENIA - & I'll NEVER forget THAT show. STILL - It would have been SO MUCH BETTER if Keith had Been there TOO (of Course)!! Favorite Band - & Favorite Drummer - Bassist - Singer, & Power Chord playing Songwriter.

[@johnoberle9750]

Greatest rock Band of all time. i doubt anything could change my mind, these guys were a fucking machine.

[@johndardi1334]

I became a huge Who fan when I was 10 years old. I bought all their albums and knew all their songs by heart. I was lucky enough to see them live in 1989 when I was 18 and I remember walking out of the stadium thinking to myself…. I get it now. I understand why they’re the greatest band ever. Those songs were written to be played in front of an audience. It was the most incredible concert I’ve ever seen to this day. Baba O’Riley live? 72,000 people singing along with Pete during that break. Forget about it….. you can’t get any better than that.

[@photonotavailable7936]

Saw them in ‘67, Anaheim, and ‘68, Los Angeles. My thought exactly. Most incredible concert I’ve ever seem, Cream, ‘67, San Francisco.

[@Keith_M00N66]

I do hate soooo much "Pitt" , sooo happy for liking "the Who" with Keith and the only in this group who loved him really John Entwistle, plus what a bassist !! Thx Roger for honoring again the Moonie's genius

[@Planktontwo]

The Who were a perfect band to do a rock opera on stage. My favorite drummer Keith plays so effortlessly and enjoys his antics on stage.

Rare to see Pete in such a good mood onstage. Hard to believe it's the same guy that went off a few years later on TOTP during 5:15.

That is the best introduction to a song that I have ever heard. It doesn't hurt that I love this song, and its multiple movements. I even liked the portuguese subtitles...

[@michaeldavid6284]

Yep, great intro. Too bad the video is ruined with the slo-mo at the end. Reducing The Who during one of their most dynamic live performances to barely moving still frames is ridiculous and awful. Major fail.

[@markabicht4535]

@@michaeldavid6284 that was because the film in the camera had ran out before they were finished. So they had to use other footage.

[@Mpshfromlowell64]

If you listen to Entwistle's voice in interviews, it invariably sounds low and growly. But he not only sang a great falsetto, he sang it in tune....

[@kylemcdonald9311]

[@bholaoates1542]

For me the funniest part is at 1:13 when Pete, having had enough of Keith's verbal interjections, acerbically says of Keith, "I wish I was sitting back there surrounded by various (alcoholic) brews. He has a little (beer) tap on the side of each drum". Hilarious!

That drumming! The other big bands around were Hendrix (Mitch), Beatles (Ringo), Stones (Charlie), or the Kinks (Mick), and though Mitch came close, no one did THIS! So fluid, so tasty, so busy, yet so married to the music; a force unto themselves, a solo instrument, a melodic and rhythmic shaman!

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

But Moon's drumming worked because Townshend was a strummer, not a riff-player. Moon filled in the sparseness that would have been filled by a Jimmy Page.
