A bit of trivia. When they taped the video for Join Together circa 1973 I went to the studio with a couple of girls and my friend John Maxted. There was a tap on my shoulder and Roger Daltrey is standing there and says" "Nice Jacket Mate! Can I borrow it." It was an army fatigue jacket which my mum had sewn a John Bull/Union Jack tea towel on the back panel (It'd burned it trying to put an iron on transfer of in). Well of course I said. And here it is. You'll see the Jacket around 3.42 when he turns around. I didn't make the cut though....Still have the jacket. He signed it. My mum washed it. Arrgggh.

I just finished reading Roger Daltrey's book. Fascinating story. Keith Moon was hilarious from the outside but a total nightmare for anyone close to him or trying to work with him. He cost the band a fortune. John Entwistle was very dark and moody and had a mean streak. Pete Townshend was a volatile creative genius and he knew it. Roger had the toughest working class background working in a factory and was fighting to escape from it. He had the strongest work ethic and avoided the drugs. Unlike most bands, with the Who it was the lead singer and front man who man both feet most firmly planted on the ground. Roger was the anchor that kept the ship steady all those years.

[@chrisperrien7055]

Maybe , but Pete Townnsend cartainly was an inspired msucian who kept the WHO running even after Daughtry left . I never saw "the who". the one time I could have(the Its Hard tour 1982), I traded for a two week party and about 14 grams of nearly pure cocaine , which corrupted about 50 people and was a ton of fun . Did I make the right decision ? I still don't know. But missing the Who , remains as the only Wood Stock band, I ever missed. Never miss a band who was at Wood Stock, I learned that well , over the years. And If I get the bucks, I do want to see them "Live at Leeds" as they promised after this covid-flu bull is over with.

@@norbertsiewert3917 yep. Ive heard the same Hooplah. Im christian and play at church and also in places where church folks wont go (because they're perfect?? Lol) i dont see any devils, here just folks listening to energetic music

[@whitewitchoz]

Pete writes them, John's bass, Moon's drumming and Roger's vocals gives the power, then Pete's vocals give it the sublime. The Who have an awesome ability to mix the elements of sound and deliver a perfect concoction like an alchemist in a lab. Can't say enough cool things about this band.

[@gilbertparnell6035]

Words can't describe it. I listened to this song before football practice in 1972. It was inspirational.

[@ddemski14]

This makes me smile from start to finish! Long live rock!!

[@TheNameTooSexyToShow]

0:00 - 0:34 the craziest intro to any song, awesomely epic!

[@benbrown3933]

I'm 46 and I'm glad my parents raised me around this music and this real music

[@frankschlegel809]

I frickin LOVE "The WHO!!!" Their music is timeless!!! Thanks for the many fine memories!!!! ☺☺☺

[@TheCenteroftheUniverse]

Each band member is unique. Ox is a "Lead Bass Player". If you just listened to the song, you heard what I mean. Keith is my Idol, the way rock and roll by-God drums should be played, and Pete writes it that way. And there's nothing about Roger's voice I would change. I thought I wanted him to rival the great Robert Plant, but I don't. Not everyone can be the King, you know? But even as an old man, he can still get it done. Impressive. And Pete Townshend's career has been the soundtrack of my adult life. I am the seeker, as described by the artist. This was not the case when the song was released. It took a lifetime ...

[@lostinmusic5431]

Bought the 7" in 1972, at the age of 11. Timeless and still amazing !

[@stickyfinger7903]

The last century has produced such madly good musicians that I can not even imagine that there will be such a thing again?

Another sigh . . .

The Who................. A true gift from God

[@donbrogan3158]

Don't talk twaddle. They're a gift from Santa Claws.

[@barryking3714]

Wonderful comment Oppie and so true

[@BubbaZen10]

Took two back so far.

[@larsroumen831]

What a great and happy song by the Who!

[@markjarvis5682]

Happy Friday everyone and what a classic song to start a Friday morning with have a safe and happy weekend cheers everyone.

[@andymassingham]

Live in '89, Toronto CNE Stadium I'll never forget 70,000 people dancing to this as if hypnotized!

[@datcheson9837]

+andy massing ham one of the loudest shows I've ever attended

[@IwanttoliveinParis]

This one, like many Who songs, gets better with volume. Like a beautiful kick to the teeth.

[@cosmos8366]

I was just trying to crank it up on me pc but can't get it as loud as I like it. The best part loud is at 3:30 when he say's "well every body come on". When I'm in my car driving I can't wait till the part comes up and I ding it with everything I got. my favorite line is " it's the singer not the song that makes the music move along". That's just an awesome line.

[@BilnBax]

Plug your PC into an Amp/Receiver, get rid of the PC speakers!!

[@sewalk927]

1i1feat I've blown up more amps with a PC than anything else over the years. Digital music loves power but some passages are deadly to power transistors within rated specifications. Push the limits at your own peril.

[@jklewisjkldev]

Ive had amps hooked up to my desktop for 15 years. Only way to go

[@maxellyou]

ha!!! i seriously just got done cranking it then read your comment first! spot on!!!

[@jetman7946]

Always thought only Roger and Pete came down and walked thru the crowd, but I just caught a couple glimpses of the Ox too !!! Great !!!

[@TorchwoodKT]

yes, sadly that's we got! Such a shame as his playing gave so much to their music.

[@VCT3333]

Punk attitude, with way, waaaaay better musical talents all around.

[@twotone3070]

This song on the radio back in '72 got me into The Who, still love it.

[@healthyone100]

never forget when this song came out epic!

[@sproutbliss]

Daltrey's hair is the fifth member of The Who.

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

+Bill graydon Sense of humor maybe? It's a nice thing.

[@pauldargent1177]

He and Robert Plant are tied for 1st place.

[@Purpleskyshorizon]

Paul D'Argent 1st place of what?

[@patcarroll8292]

+sproutbliss And these days his Wrath of Khan" chest is the sixth. HGH is a hell of a drug.

[@widebaldo]

sadly he was fired during the 1979 tour.

[@lolmoreland3605]

Those were the days my friends, I thought they'd never end.

[@robertlopez5251]

I just saw this video today. Roger & Pete going into audience is just fantastic.

[@bluenightdk]

The Who is the most underrated band in the world!! This is so great!! Even by today standards this is so good!!!

[@healthyone100]

why i don't know maybe because Pete didn't give a rats ass about having hit singles but there songs were all a masterpiece!

[@gregfrommotown9082]

Still listening in 2020 and I am sure it will still be as incredible in 2099

[@TWENTYSEVENSTORIES]

20020

[@oldschoolrr6077]

It was just a great Summer song to crank on your car radio on a hot summer evening while cruisin' with friends. This got up to #12 in L.A. in August 1972 lasting 7 Weeks on the chart. Got up to #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

[@charlesgreathouse7376]

2021

[@gregfrommotown9082]

Still listening 2022 that intro tho

[@tompatchak8706]

Friends in a local band busted this and Love Reign over me at a bar show year's ago. Brought the house down!

[@channelchenes4541]

Rog dresses like he stepped out of a pub. Pete dresses like he just walked in to a casino. Loved it!

[@gaylasmith1565]

So glad I was able to see them a few times with their original members. Took my honey to see them in April, 2015. Pete and Roger still rocking the place.

[@1Rastell]

"The Who" forever !

[@darrenmarks9310]

best band eva !!

[@FayBenson]

First time I heard The Who's song was when I was learning English in Oxford and I was 16. It was an awakening to what music really was. It chznged my perception of music. In à positive way.

[@keithsanderson9536]

In 1975 some 44 years ago I witnessed the original group in concert our arena could seat up to 10,000 a crowd of 7,000 were in attendance I was only 15 but I witnessed one of the greatest groups in the world in that era we had great musicians that could really do a show it was real music I will never forget.

[@matthewrumbel1818]

A musical masterpiece! Can't get enough of the Who!!

[@michaellakey3565]

Life house project rules, even tho it never got off the ground. It will live forever - even if there's no one to live it, Pete.

[@BrianSmith-eu3ex]

I can crank up this song anytime
