[@tvine1]

The Whobillies. Beautiful.

[@DR-mq1vn]

Keith is so adorable in this video!

[@marilee804]

Fell in love with Pete's eyes ❤

[@jsteed44]

Enjoy these live historic gems from the past rather see this than lip synching performances

[@guitarbassdrumsetc]

ironic he's talking about english groups becoming more independent and writing their own stuff in between their jan & dean cover song sessions, still neato

[@andrewknudsen6674]

And about R and B influences, not to mention all the american music that underlay the mod movement. Also American fashions.

In 1966 they were definitely not in the same league as the Beatles or even the Stones. They would however, eventually make up for this rather mundane period starting with Tommy, then Live at Leeds, Who's Next, Odds n' Sods, Quadrophenia, Who By Numbers, and Who Are You, all great albums in my opinion.

[@PaulFormentos]

Just imagine On odds and sods Pure and Easy and Naked Eye are OUTTAKES

[@VirreFriberg]

The Who Sell Out easily outranks any album the Stones had recorded up until then.

Peter Dennis Blandford "Pete" Townshend (19 de mayo de 1945) es un guitarrista, productor musical, cantante, multiinstrumentista y compositor británico de rock, reconocido principalmente por su trabajo con el grupo de rock The Who. Su carrera con The Who abarca más de cuarenta años, durante los cuales el grupo pasó a ser considerado una de las bandas más influyentes de la década de 1960 y de 1970. Según declaró Eddie Vedder, líder de Pearl Jam: «The Who es posiblemente el mejor grupo en directo».

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Keith John Moon (Londres, Inglaterra, 23 de agosto de 1946-ibídem, 7 de septiembre de 1978) fue un músico inglés, conocido por ser baterista de la banda británica de rock The Who. Se ganó el reconocimiento por su estilo exuberante e innovador en la batería, y su excéntrico comportamiento autodestructivo, lo que le valió el apodo de «Moon the Loon» («Moon el chiflado»). Moon se unió a The Who en 1964. Participó en todos los álbumes y sencillos desde su debut, en «Zoot Suit» de 1964, hasta Who Are You de 1978, álbum que fue lanzado solo tres semanas antes de su muerte.

Epic footage. Ta

[@sgbh8874]

Their version of bucket T at Woodstock showcases de Who at their zenith. Phenomenal.

[@babyshambler]

LOL

[@tosinmcboy]

XD

[@InService77]

Damn! I was going to say "Why they didn't play Bucket T at Woodstock is beyond the pail...."

[@gates69]

Keith loved Jan & Dean

[@lauraminardi9862]

But Keith is so happy doing it!

[@yamilvalenzuelaoficial9412]

" A quick one " sessions. 1966

[@angelicagonzalez151]

Honestly compared with the stones i think the who personalities were more real of course they have their issues but if you see here look so lovely young and espontaneus nothing dark. with the rolling stones i think they were more perverse personalities

[@VixxKong2]

???

[@VixxKong2]

The Rolling Stones were different because even in their early years they were aiming big. They wanted to be sex symbols and also be viewed as the generation that will take over by their unbreakable will and intellect, against the nonsense of their ancestors. They were taking themselves seriously. They even looked way more mature than the who despite their closeness in age. Keith Richards, the youngest Stone, being same age with Roger Daltrey, the oldest Who. The Who at this time were still having day jobs or other main occupations, not believing that their group would last. That's why the Who look more playful and innocent. They were having fun and were making music about being the young men they were. Go listen to more interviews. You'll see how the whole mentality of these 2 groups were different.

[@BigSky1]

@@VixxKong2 The Who did not still have day jobs in 1966. Being in a band was their full time job.

[@VixxKong2]

@@BigSky1 When did the transition happen exactly?

[@robertfoshizzle]

@@VixxKong2 I don't know the answer to your question, but I feel like their first hit was "I Can't Explain" and that came out in December 1964. I'm going to guess that 1965 is the latest anyone in the band might have had a day job, but I'm just spitballing.

[@tosinmcboy]

Peter Dennis Blandfrod Pete Townshend He is a funny He’s an awesome person who can speak in an interview very well

[@sgbh8874]

Speed

[@ShortBusScotty]

The song would have gone nowhere if he sang "T T Bucket T Bucket T Bucket".

[@anthonykerr311]

Mod for it

[@jabold]

Big Who fan here but, wow IMO they did some real crap until they found their musical footing with Tommy. They were just throwing everything against the wall in the early days and seeing what stuck. The first 3 albums were just typical 60's crap with only the occasional bright spot single.

[@bunniestan]

Lol 2:11

[@VixxKong2]

They should be making songs for circuses, because the level of clownery of that song is lethal 🤡 🎪

[@see4miles67]

Dreadful song. Only recorded to amuse and stop Keith leaving the band

[@VixxKong2]

I'd listen to anything that makes Keith sing happily 😊 But I find it hilarious that John isn't even trying 😅

[@TTM9691]

Nah, it's a cool, oddball little tune (both pre-Who versions are pretty wacky), The Who have the definitive version, goofy as it is. Love the lyrics. "Down at Drag City, she's first in her class/There's nothing on the freeway she don't pass/ All the girls want to take a ride with me but there's only one seat in my Bucket-T!" Ha!

[@VirreFriberg]

Didn't stop it from reaching number 1 on the charts in Sweden

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

"Bucket T" is hilarious Who. Go find a house to land on you.

[@brownrich]

If Keith Moon had left the Who, he would have gone nowhere.

[@timhoovermusicman]

Good interview but that song is trash

[@VixxKong2]

Of course lol

[@blackmore4]

But Moon loved it and his enthusiasm is too cute... to the point of me nearly actually liking the damn thing ;)

[@RideAcrossTheRiver]

"Bucket T" is a send-up of "Mule Skinner"

[@drummer78]

A bit trite but those background vocals aren’t easy…John’s horn part was perfect too.

[@calebmetix]
