[@DJ-ov9hu]

R.I.P. John Entwistle, one of the greatest bassists to ever play the instrument.

[@PamelaKilburn-c3w]

Add Keith Moon's drums...magical & hard rocking.

[@spicy321]

This song was intended to be part of a piece called Lifehouse that Pete Townshend eventually abandoned. This song was told from the villain's perspective, exposing his inner feelings.

[@willtheangrydudeist9120]

Psychderelict was a sort of sequel to Lifehouse, wasnt it? I know he references it on the album.

[@JeroenK]

@@willtheangrydudeist9120 True! And the Wire and Glass mini opera on the 2006 Endless Wire album is another sequel.

[@brodemonz]

Interesting.

[@brodemonz]

Question. Was Pete Townsend the main song writer in the band? Of course I've heard of the who and their songs and liked them but never really indulged into them like I have with other music.

[@willtheangrydudeist9120]

[@janxander6535]

With John Entwistle and Keith Moon driving the band. One of the best bands ever.

[@toddweis4530]

In the sixties and seventies these guys were a juggernaut. They pretty much invented hard rock. Pete Townshend made the power chord famous and they are probably the greatest live band of all time. Their shows are truly legendary. They were the blueprint for what every hard rock band wanted to be.

[@maeseman]

"Love reign o'er me". You will be blown away.

[@MassLox]

I associate that song with Adam Sandler thanks to the movie Reign Over Me.

[@jaewok5G]

then listen to "Boris the Spider"

[@eleganceandwhimsy]

One of my top 5 favs of all time!

[@loosilu]

He already did it!

[@Ezukore]

This.

[@thephilster6860]

This song: "nobody knows what it's like to be..." I heard The Who perform it at Giants stadium, and everyone, all 60,000 of us, were singing along. Ironic, considering it's a song about isolation, loneliness, and individuality. Nobody, except 60,000 people there, knew what it was like to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes.

[@robincortez6586]

That's a moment of PURE MUSICAL GOLD that you and the rest of the 60,000 fans will NEVER, EVER FORGET. LUCKY DOGS!!🤩

[@chrisdiana3525]

i saw them at Giant Stadium in '89 ...I think. Great show.

[@JaDem148]

Was that '89? Loudest show I ever attended in my life. Outdoors no less! They lived up to their reputation. It took about three days for my ears to stop ringing. That's coming from someone who saw Rush several times and had his head under an 81mm millimeter tube for a couple of years. Ear protection to somewhat under the tube of course. But still... No wonder why Pete is near deaf!

[@Meyzen76]

This song and "Love Reign O'er Me" are, in my opinion, their two best. They do great versions of "Summertime Blues" and "Squeeze Box", which are more on the upbeat side of The Who.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Squeeze Box is so fun.

[@garylindsey5174]

And "My Generation " :)

[@lipby]

Reign over me is their greatest song

[@joelliebler5690]

Meyzen76 so true also add we won’t get fooled again!

[@michaelloveland1330]

IIRC, Pete Townsend started off in a skiffle band, playing banjo and accordion. Thankfully, he ceded the accordion-plating (mostly) to Weird Al, but his skills are extensive.

[@bostonwhofan]

Not many people know this but Roger Daltrey's dog got hit by a car and died on the day The Who recorded this song. His grief on that day led to one of his greatest vocal performances of his career. BTW, another great song off of the Who's Next album is Getting In Tune!

[@PamelaKilburn-c3w]

💔

[@zq9m3xh8]

It's impossible to over-rate this song. From the mesmerizing acoustic guitar to the melodic harmonies, and the sudden thunder in the center, for all its brevity, it packs the same powerful wallop as WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN, only it's delivered in primarily softer tones.

[@davidobrien3600]

Most underrated group ever. They should be in the top five in sales all time without a doubt. We grew up in the 70s in high school listening to this music. Everyone either liked Led Zeppelin first with The Who second or The Who first with Led Zeppelin second but both were the only two bands that had the same amount of raw power as each other. No matter who it was, any other band came after The Who and Led Zeppelin because no other band came close to both of them when it came to their power and energy!

[@manguy2000]

I will try again....LOVE REIGN OER ME. His best vocal peformance.

[@reallymysterious4393]

I second that !!!

[@Crimsonams]

Yes! Roger Daltrey kills it on this song.

[@tomt714]

[@discerninglight1998]

[@tigerback62]

Whoo-Hoo! Yes! EMINENCE FRONT! See Me, Feel Me🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@1steveconner]

YES!!!!

[@dwgale01]

@Celtic Revival / Adfywiad Celtaidd For some reason that's usually the only song you hear from "It's Hard". I think a better song from that album is "Cry If You Want".

[@Carpythesharky]

The Who are my all time favorite group across any genre. I got it from my mom and dad. I always explain The Who is the product of 4 soloists coming together in a hurricane of sound that shouldn't work, but it does. Quadrophenia is one of those albums I have to listen from start to finish. So many awesome songs that actually have meaning (not to say they don't have some songs that are strictly for fun lol). I was lucky that when I was ~10 years old my parents took my sister and I to a Who concert, my first concert ever, and it was the last year The Ox was alive. I'll never forget it. My dad remembers the first time he heard a Who album in stereo, the sounds bouncing from left to right blew his mind! RIP Entwistle, RIP Moon the Loon.

[@arellatikvah]

You were very lucky!! I've been listening since I was 4. My sister made me memorize all the band members and all instruments each played and I have to recite it to her friends on demand. When I was twelve I saved up and got The Phases boxed catalouge of all The Who's albums to that point, for $50 from the back of Rolling Stone magazine. I've been lucky enough to meet Roger and Pete multiple times as well as most of the current band they've been working with. Nice guys one and all. LONG LOVE ROCK!! 🤘🏻🎶🎸🎯

[@matteliano454]

Love Reign O'er Me for the win! Vocal supremacy !

[@freckled100]

Roger Daltry's voice sounds as good now as it did when I first listened to him back in the 60s. He and Pete Townsend harmonize so well together, too.

[@WanderingWriter]

Love Reign O'er Me, its an epic on level with stairway to heaven and bohemian rhapsody (in my opinion anyway)

[@leegoodison]

So true Jennifer. Really sad to say, were are the anthems of today?

[@loosilu]

I think it's better that both of those songs.

[@WanderingWriter]

I love watching you take this musical journey. You need to check out some Electric Light Orchestra (ELO). Turn to Stone live at Wembley is a an amazing performance. Actually the entire ELO: Wembley or Bust concert film is something to see.

[@GinMae]

Oh, yeah - ELO! Jeff Lynne was always under-rated as a singer and composer - especially his vocals -- too bad that he and Bob Dylan are the only surviving members of the "Traveling Wilburys" -- an awesome band... I won't belabor the history - it is easily looked up -- Thanks!

[@drgwhatsthetruth3783]

Me too. I was quite young then but been a fan ever since.

[@melanieviselli9706]

Another band you CANNOT go wrong with. My sister and I went to see them live in April 2015 when they were in Raleigh NC (both of our birthdays are in April, a week apart from each other)...first of all, Roger Daltrey is almost exactly my dad's age, but....He has one of the greatest voices I have ever heard. I dearly adore their song "Tea & Theatre", it's a sad song, but it's really wonderful. That concert was one of the best experiences ever. Also, when we went to that concert, their drummer for the event was Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr from the Beatles...and Pete Townshend's younger brother was playing guitar as well...If it was possible to go to ever concert they ever gave in the past OR might ever do again, I would go.... I also like the songs "5:15", "The Seeker", "Bargain", "I Can See For Miles"...shit any of them... Pete Townshend is as much a legend as anybody else, that guitar....

[@Robert_Herring]

It's amazing I can still get goosebumps to music I've heard for 40 years.

[@fredrickcuriosity6368]

I really respect you man. You didn’t pause in the middle of a lyric. You waited for them to finish, then gave beautiful insight. This is the song that utterly broke me when I heard it for the first time. I realized that I’m not alone. I never was.

[@Kegan420]

Gotta check out The Seeker, Love Reign O’er Me and or Join Together by The Who🙏🏻🤘🏻

[@mgabbard]

Definitely Love Reign O'er Me - super powerful and one of their best.

The rawness of this song, like so many of their songs, is so compelling. They are my favorite band of all time. If you want to get a closer look at The Who (because their musicianship must be witnessed!), check out The Kids Are Alright, a 1979 documentary which is available on Amazon Prime. They were heavily involved in the making of it.

This is one of my favorite songs by The Who. I got to see the who The Who in concert I had VIP seats. It was wonderful.

[@LitHouseTieDye]

When you have the time you should listen to the entire Rock Opera Tommy and also Quadrophenia. But if you want just a taste do Pinball Wizard from Tommy and 5:15 from Quadrophenia. Both form The Who. Check out the movie Tommy when you feel like having your mind blown. It's pretty intense.

[@cloudshad0ws]

Quadrophenia is so good, and definitely one of those things you gotta listen to in its entirety. It has a few stand out tracks, but its strength is in the album as a whole IMO.

[@melissayost4888]

Agree w 515 but also I Am The Sea/The Real Me/Quadrophenia all in a row. Actually all of side one.

[@DDubyah17]

So happy to see your reaction. You really need to see some concert footage from the Who. They set the bar for every live rock act that came after them

[@jstube36]

Pinball Wizard and Tommy are essential when it comes to The Who. My Generation, Summertime Blues are also great classics.

[@philipshort7491]

Has anyone seen claudillea Holloway singing the rolling stones paint it black on the voice UK, just a young girl, when she starts singing you would never guess what was coming, an amazing opera voice, a great performance, a future star. Look at the reactions of the coaches and the audience, an amazing performance. Enjoy.

[@hugsandhomies]

If you want to hear more of their heavier side, I'd recommend "Run, Run, Run," "Heaven and Hell" (live), "Young Man Blues" (live) or "The Real Me." And if you're up for 14 minutes of absolute chaos there's the live version of "My Generation" from Live at Leeds. It's the live stuff that really shows how heavy and energetic they can get.

[@johnenock1198]

Run, Run Run one of my favourites. Can't understand why they didn't release this, or So Sad About Us as singles from A Quick One

[@hugsandhomies]

@@johnenock1198 It's such an underrated album. I used to have A Quick One in my CD player alarm clock and every morning Run Run Run was like a shot of pure adrenaline.

I just picked up the complete discography of this band, and I purposely waited decades to do so. In my lifetime, I've owned and listened to enough music to fill terabytes without blinking. I knew that in the world of western music, the Who were easily the most unorthodox rock band to come from the mid to late 1960's era. Listening to this band is enjoyable, but it's also very much a challenge. The Who will defy your conventions, understandings, and perception of what drums, bass, and electric guitars can do within the framework of a traditional pop arrangement. No one in this band approaches their instrument in a conventional or expected manner, and Rodger Daltry is the only friendly familiar you will be allowed if you decide to ride on this train. This band is the final frontier of classic rock, and I wanted to make damn sure that my musical palette was trained and developed enough to appreciate it. The Who are the journey you take when you have truly heard it all and feel that there couldn't possibly be anything new under the sun.

I was living in Bridgewater, Maine, Christmas of 1979. I was 17, 11th grade. Times were VERY hard. For Christmas we could chose 1 gift, no more than 20 bucks. Now in the afternoons they bused us up to Presque Isle for a Graphic Arts course. We would spend the afternoon walking around town, taking pictures, then go back and and develop them and print them. On one of my journey's I had seen this album, "The Story Of The Who". It was a Double album, and on the front it had an exploding pinball machine. I had heard maybe one Who song at that time, but it looked cool enough that it was the gift I chose for Christmas. And have never regretted that decision. John Entwistle, Bass player for the Who, was a big influence on Geddy Lee and Chris Squires. His nickname was "Thunder Fingers". In 2011, he was voted as the greatest bass guitarist of all time in a Rolling Stone magazine readers' poll. If you do another WHO song, I'd like to suggest the studio version of "MY GENERATION". The Bass and Daltry's voice carry that song: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3-Yq6pmabyrecU Peace out on a Friday. Rock on and stay virus free

They have been in the soundtrack of my life for the past 40 years. I am 52 now. Keep on with the great videos! My wife and I love them!

if you're down for it, i'd recommend Snarky Puppy's 'Shofukan', it's a straight banger from beginning to end

Thanks, my friend, for exploring an album that I discovered as a 20 year old 49 years ago. Behind my blue eyes, you are helping to take me back to some very intense times in my life. Something else that I feel we have in common, I'm 6'9". You've likely been asked "how's the weather up there?" and the like ad nauseam. Peace out, indeed.

Do the band, The Guess Who with the songs “American Woman” “These Eyes” “Laughing” and “No Sugar Tonight” great songs

[@abcd31830]

Really appreciate you right now doing all these videos! New entertainment to look forward to every day is so important. Thanks Jamal!

Love The Who, but have you checked out any Talking Heads yet? Gotta listen to Slippery People and Life During Wartime

And burning down the house. He'll get a kick out of their live show.

[@BPF57]

He can get a big suit too! lol

[@tjason12]

Pretty much anything from Stop Making Sense will bring out some serious stank face

[@jamesraynard8794]

I love it when you do these reactions cause sometimes your reactions are so pure but I remember listening to these on the radio as a kid.

[@klausernstthalheim9642]

How about: The Police "King of Pain"

[@johnnyblythe5375]

First time I've seen one of your reactions. Love the way you got the meaning of the song in one!

[@307boondockin]

Just wanted to add a shout out too you! I can’t thank you enough for you insight to these songs and the love you have for music. It’s an incredible escape in these quarantine times!,

[@scottcolman9757]

[@p47paul]

The Who have been great to me too my friend. Excellent posts and assessments of the brilliance of The Who. Good stuff!

[@J_Gamble]

Thank you!................The Who has been great to me too!................Every note of this album is engraved in my head. since I was a little girl and would hear my brothers blast it from the record player. ..............................LOVE to see you react to these. Best Rock album of all time in my opinion.

Keep me warm, let me wear your coat ...that is just so brilliant at the end of that verse

[@RobTebaldi]

I absolutely love your channel. Your vibe is so welcoming and your appreciation for music in general is refreshing. Being late to your channel I know you've done some of the bigger who songs but there are so many more. I would say one song I think you would totally dig, and it's often lost in the shuffle, but Who fans as soon as it comes on dive right in is a from their 1975 album The Who by Numbers called Slip Kid. I would LOVE to see your reaction to that song. And I know my fellow Who die hards would too.

[@christinewhite6993]

To me, as a child hearing the Who all the time ( I had older siblings and there was alway music playing in our house), I just loved the beautiful sounds of this song. As I got older, it seemed to me to be about the Vietnam War and the "blue eyed" Americans who were the supposed "bad men", the veterans who were treated so badly when they came home, like they didn't have dreams, feelings and anger.

[@ronvillarreal5003]

I love your reaction to these songs brother...this one is powerful on many levels!!

[@SlipKid12]

Love that your reactions to one of my favorite bands. Keep them ****ing coming

[@dannyboy4891]

Writing this on a dying phone charge. We all need to strive to be more like you brother. Bizzare how much it means to see you enjoy and appreciate music dear to alot of us 😊 forget what the world is throwing us and just be for that moment in time, beautiful!!!#
