[@davidacevedo8620]

You know, the bass player is not the showman in the band, but no doubt he did his job excellently, his bass playing has been impeccable thru the ages and I'd say he has a lot to do with the success of the band as a whole, and I guess the only one that isn't gesturing and jumping around. Roger, well, imagine Queen without Freddy, that's what Roger is to the band. Pete, the songwriter and along with Keith the eyecatchers of the group, no doubt. I admit, I have rediscovered the band, didn't know much about it until "Who Are You" back in the middle seventies, but watching their videos I recognized the sound at the beginning and since it has stuck to my mind. Keith Moon, well, Keith is a big powerhouse in the band, I have always liked his style of drumming, which reminded me of a video I was watching of Rush, "Tom Sawyer" and in one of the sudden glances at the band drummer I saw this guy that very much looked like Keith and asked myself if it was possible that Rush's recording was before Moon's passing because this guy played, drummed very similar to Moon, and of course Googled it. Come the discussion about the proverbial egg or chicken first appearance, since these two musicians play, to my understanding, very much alike. Who found who? Who cares, what I care is the both, Neil Peart and Keith Moon have easily been a big part of the band successes. It is a shame they both passed away. I can't imagine any of the bands without them, although both drummers were of course replaced. Baba O'Riley is one of them anthems for The Who, a band that was discovered by the 90's generation by the CSI Miami theme song, whoever made that choice of using The Who song made a great choice, the people from that decade who grew up watching Caruso and the show now know The Who has been making great music since the early 70's. The Who is a great band, even without Moon. Now I rest my case.

@@davidacevedo8620 Peart and Who, easily in the top three of rock drummers. Geddy Lee and Entwistle easily in the top three bassist. Alex and Towshend are two overlooked guitarist.

Between John and his thunder fingers and Keith being all over the place actually it was Pete and his prefect timing that kept the band in time. Maybe not on this song per say but normally it was just that way.

[@forestfeet5769]

This is unique for its time because the synth loop doesn't allow for any tempo fluctuation which is why Keith is wearing headphones here. Nowadays most big acts have all members wearing in ear monitors and are playing to backing tracks with a click. This particular song is sort of an early precursor to that method. The Wall live performances by Pink Floyd are an even better example because everything had to sync up with the on screen projections and continuity between songs.

In the era of the late '60s and early '70s, pretty damn good. The late 60s was a veritable Big Bang of musical Talent featuring some of the finest singer-songwriters and instrumentalists ever to walk on this planet. We just took it for granted and thought that music would always be like that. Boy were we wrong about that. We slipped from this kind of stuff into fucking Disco, of all things. Now I might like three or four disco songs but considering how many were written and got monster air time that's not a very good ratio of like to dislike. One that Springs to mind is That's the Way by KC and the Sunshine Band.

Now that I am 50, I've gained an appreciation for the album versions, but I still marvel at the excitement these songs provided me when I was a child.

With his level of energy took him almost a year to realize he was dead.

Saw them live in 73. They were astounding.

A band that is played at other bands concerts to warm you up. One hell of a supergroup. One of the best.

When this comes on the box and I'm driving, it's impossible not to crank up the volume and play air drums.

I saw this in 79 at the Charles in Boston. The first 3 notes Entwistle played on that Alembic Bass changed my life...

If I had to name perhaps the top five most incredible and satisfying things I have encountered living life on planet earth from an infant until now, this would make the list.

This was such an amazing time for music. I'm so glad that I was there to witness it.

THIS was the only version of Baba O'Riley I've ever known. I bought the soundtrack to "The Kids Are Alright" as a high school freshman, and this was the version on the album. The studio version sounds so tame and quiet in comparison, but the classic rock radio stations where I lived ALWAYS played the studio version, which I always felt was criminal. This live version has all the raw energy and power and LIFE that Rock and Roll should always have. Long Live Rock!

Just what I was looking for, great!

Stick that up your kazoo, America's got talent.
