The Who was unique in that The Who wasn't actually a band in the accepted understanding of that term, but rather a compilation of four soloists, each doing his own thing, which were incredibly able to do together what not one, or two, or even three of them could have done apart from the others. When even a single component of The Who was missing, they were no longer The Who, and that which made them unique was gone forever.

As I sit here thinking about the bands that I'm still listening to NOW, there actually are more than I realized that fit the "let's ALL go crazy but keep listening to each other" mold. I agree with that comment about the Who, and that's obviously true for Cream, and I'd add Jefferson Airplane. I've heard people say the same for Led Zeppelin, and The Doors, but arguably no band has as much experience organizing various groups of people into a collection of soloists - or at least "people who defined their collective sound" - as the Grateful Dead. All of these bands had "people who defined their sound" either leave, or die. If you're willing to think of Blind Faith as "Cream with Jack Bruce's replacement(s)", all of them except the Doors and Led Zeppelin reformed, and even The Doors toured and recorded as a trio after Morrison's death. The results were bands who didn't sound the same, and that has to be ok. You can STILL find people who think the Grateful Dead didn't do anything good after Pigpen was too sick tour in the early 1970s - what they did was good, it just wasn't the same.

I saw the band around that time, the show after the death of the fans in Cincinnati. That was tragic. Keith Moon dying was more expected than tragic. I'm not saying that to be callous, but his wounds were self-inflicted and he made bad choices that took him where he ended up. He was a great drummer, my favorite from that era but a grown man who gets a kick out of destroying other people's property and pulling stunts like driving a car into a swimming pool is extremely immature and hedonistic, and by default pretty selfish. I can see why Townsend said he didn't mourn the guy. He expected him to die sooner than later I imagine. I'm not condoning it or supporting it, but I get it. I had friends who got lost to the drug culture and all of them were selfish as well. I was selfish as hell when I was a drunk. Like I say, Keith Moon was a great drummer, a real talent who left a mark. But he wasted a lot of years he could have had.

I always loved all the members of The Who, but I've always been kind of stunned by how easily they seemed to immediately get over Moon's death.

[@doorswhofan]

I see what you're saying, but they all saw it coming from 1,000 miles away. He'd been in a serious state of decline for years, and the band was being severely hampered and crippled by his more and more frequent incapacity: Inability to play during recording sessions, passing out frequently, messing up during live shows. After some initial grief, I think they all kind of breathed a separate sigh of relief and were ready to move on -- strange as that may seem. The Who always had, among its 4 members, a tighter professional relationship than friendship. That doesn't mean they didn't learn to respect -- even love -- each other to a certain degree. That *has* to happen after years and years of touring, travelling, recording, talking, being in each others' lives. It's just that the foundation of their unity in the first place always remained the most dominant: Playing music, getting the job done no matter what. Keith Moon, perhaps, said it best himself in an interview in the late 60s: "I'd probably choose different friends...but never different musicians."

[@peterjonas4971]

@@doorswhofan Thank you. I probably would not have enjoyed hanging out with him but there's such love in my heart for Moonie, the clown who wept privately.

[@MagravatorMag]

I wasn't surprised. Moon was already a finanical liability. On one tour, they netted less than $100. You can't survive on that and that was all Keith's doing. His need to be funny and make people laugh cost a lot more than hearing loss.

[@Johnnywhamo]

We see it from a fan's perspective in that we saw Moon the Loon every couple years, laugh at his exploits and then go home. I'm sure they loved him dearly but conversely they were around him for some 15 years. 15 years in the midst of someone going full throttle and having to deal with the day to day fallouts of his exploits would be tiring at best and down right horrible at it's worst. As well at the end of the day they are a business, they have a product they need to produce and sell. If one of the four members starts to be an anchor to those commitments well.... As other have said as horrible as it was it wasn't a surprise to any of them. I know he was trying to get better but again that's a lot of water that went under the bridge.

Roger is the only one with decent, heart-felt comments. Townsend doesn't make sense. Entwistle actually sounds happy that Moon is gone. Kenny Jones' comments are appropriate and what you'd expect from someone who is asked to replace a legend.

[@4orrcountry]

Entwistle and Moon were BEST FRIENDS in The Who. You might want to pull your head out of your...

[@fattymcfatso1083]

@@4orrcountry Yeah i couldn't imagine Entwistle sounding more broken up had his own Mum died .🙄🙄 Wow. Keith's dead. Now I can play how I wanna play. .

What does John say at 9:12?

[@petermills542]

Think he says "wigs are cheap nowadays!! " Meaning only physical impairment would stop him playing, not appearance!! 😄

There's something about Pete.

[@arnoldarnold4944]

Is it true that PeteTownsend can't play single notes but only chords?

[@Nyquest]

The answer to that is no.

[@Colinl3052]

Simon Phillips was by far the best drummer The Who ever had, but Keith Moon was the best drummer for The Who. Starkey was the best choice after Moon died

[@deebop4904]

Im a huge SP fan, but its way easier to play like philips, than keith moon. Fact.

@deebop4904 You've gotta be kidding pal....

[@heftosprod]

@@Colinl3052 nope it's a fact. There are many SPs.

[@Mute_Nostril_Agony]

Who is it? Sounds very like Melvin Bragg but it isn’t . Could it be Russell Hartey?

[@SpaceCattttt]

@@Mute_Nostril_Agony You think so? To me, Harty sounded a lot more posh than this.

@capri2673 It couldn't be Mark Radcliffe. It's probably Martin Young.

"The Who felt (Kenney Jones) would add to their sound".....laughable,he totally ruined them.

[@scottlucas9551]

"Ruined"? A little harsh. But ,Jones did make the Who sound like a regular pedestrian rock band, for better and worse.

[@TheMusicalElitist]

Oh do be quiet.

[@martyhopkirk6826]

I don’t agree. He had impossible boots to fill. But I saw them with Kenney, and they (and he) were fantastic.

[@drummer78]

The 1979 shows were great and injected new life into the band. I think Kenney kind of got a bad rap by some (you included) because on record he was sort of hemmed in by production and the overall almost MOR sound. I think by 1982, Kenney was also frustrated by the as Roger Daltrey wasn’t supportive and Pete Townshend was already focusing on a solo career. The 82 shows may have been a bit more tepid but those first post Moon tours from 1979-81 had the band playing with much gusto…just watch the Chicago 1979 of Rockpalast show from 1981 for evidence. As for Kenney Jones drumming…he’s one of the greats. The Small Faces “Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake” is a tour de force of drumming. Kenney sounds like a cross between Keith Moon and Ringo. Listen to “Song for a Baker”…it’s on KZbin.

[@Ali-mc3iw]

A sweeping statement, and also wrong.
