The Who - Roadrunner & MY Generation (blues version)

Video from the kids are alright
Roadrunner Bo Diddley cover
My Generation blues version

[@brianwilling134]

This just rocks!For best results play at maximum volume.

[@HaroldFlood15]

Oh yeah....................................Rockin

[@robdemark2352]

Brian Willing Maximum volume is the only way to listen to Maximum R&B

[@brianwilling134]

Rob DeMark Right on brother!

[@lynnturman8157]

The Who invented a new way of playing rock & roll. Both Moon & Entwistle broke the rules when it came to playing their instruments. They both played incredibly busy (Moon's playing was one long continuous drum fill & Entwistle played bass like he was playing lead guitar). On paper, it shouldn't have worked (and in any other band it wouldn't have) but somehow it did. Add to that Pete's power chords & you've got the often imitated, never duplicated, one and only sound of The Who...

[@Bluesrockguy]

They break the rules when playing their instruments. They break the rules when they break their instruments and they rule their instruments when they play without brakes.

[@johntarnowski9086]

So who were innovators for rock and roll in so many ways?

[@lynnturman8157]

@@johntarnowski9086 Yes

[@harmonicaman6685]

The Who can turn a crappy little pop song into a masterpiece, unbelievable.

[@secordman]

For the hardest rocking band of all time, I have to go with these guys. This is the Who at their best.

[@jackcrane7853]

The Mc5 were the hardest

[@haoleboysurfec2730]

One of the most original bands of all time. They covered some songs extremely well (Roadrunner, Shakin' All Over, Summertime Blues, Eyesight to the Blind) but they have never been accused of stealing music. In a league all their own. Phenomenal.

[@tomfear-ws4bo]

LONG LIVE THE WHO !!!!!!! Greatest rock band of all time.

[@Cinemagoer_64]

Amen !!

[@richiebear1969]

I would have gladly risked losing my hearing at this concert. The Who are one of my favorite bands.

[@thisiskelcy]

The part where Roger sings, "WHY DON'T YA ALL" just gets me so worked up every time, it's the epitome of rock and roll.

[@p47paul]

Killer shredding from Pete Townshend!!!

[@richiebear1969]

Love the walk (tribute to Chuck Berry) by Pete in the beginning.

[@davidcudlip6587]

Reminded me of John Cleeses's "Ministry of Silly Walks" skit on Monty Python. Must be a British Thing by way of Chuck B.

[@saguaroboy]

So effortlessly swaggering and rocking. I mean Led Zeppelin was amazing at the time too- but were they ever this fun???

[@skutter2001]

The Who at the almighty Pontiac Silverdome!!!Pure gold...R.I.P Silverdome

[@codywhite96]

I wish they would've put the whole medley with join together in the movie

[@jennifersman]

It does, in bootleg form. The video is pretty common on the bootleg circuit and well worth looking for. Right after the blues version of "My Generation", they go right into "Won't Get Fooled Again"

[@brianwilling432]

Pete Townsend is on fire! Number 2 guitar didn't get smashed, did what it was designed to do, awesome! 😇

[@brianwilling432]

This my fave shit, top this, I dare you, double dog dare you?

[@jessikam11]

it is my generation so it explains why we are different to the norm

[@johnjames1959]

Power Rock

[@rammsteinbopper08]

the solo at the end makes the hairs on my neck stand up everytime!!

[@Mr27Mod]

I just acquired the vinyl soundtrack of the movie. This is one of the best tracks, fucking great! They are gods. WE ARE THE MODS!

[@av8r63]

Love the way Keith and Pete are in the zone at 4:14. This gig (Pontiac Silverdome, '75) was one of their loudest and most energetic.

[@jennifersman]

Yes, awesome. He had the most incredible drum kit on this tour

[@WHOMEWHOYOU]

What would be even more awesome is if this video had play straight into the next song...wont get fooled again of course! this is a nice clean upload of this song.

[@brianwilling432]

Who, wouldn't have Kieth Moon in their band? He's kickin it as usual...

[@LesPaulZoso94]

is the year 1975?

[@haoleboysurfec2730]

Yup Pontiac Silverdome

[@birchward]

We see the DETOURS , ( THE WHO , before they changed it to THE WHO ) playing ROADRUNNER in 1964 , at a local pub ,the white hart , acton , london ,AND WAS BLOWN AWAY BY IT / THEM and have played it in every group since then ! DEREK SHULMAN ( bon jovi /bad company / gentle giant ) named his record company after this song and seeing the detours / the who , years earlier , please checkout SUMMERTIME BLUES and SHAKING ALL OVER by the WHO ,its magic , from the early days before they made it famous

[@JacoZawinul]

Epic segue @ 02:10 from Roadrunner to My Generation.

[@mottthehoople684]

thanks for posting..a who fan for 26 years....I remember going to the movie in 1978 when it was released..great memories

[@jonapplegate6695]

The sound quality and the feedback, no matter what volume you listen to this, you just know it was LOUD!

[@Setebos]

absolutely love that segue into "My Generation".

[@oneandonlycia5350]

God tat fill when roadrunner ends and my generation blues comes in is my most awesome keith moon fill ever? How did he play that cause I've tried that 40 years and I can't get that controlled falling down the stairs harmonic brilliance!!

[@whyyeseyec]

When the 70`s were over apparently so was the Les Paul for Pete. I`ve never seen him play one since....

[@6855mike]

this is why the WHO is the greatest band of all time. you want 3 minute top 40 hits, Pete will write them for you. you want love songs, Roger will sing them for you, you want your mind blown with heavy metal, here you go. THEY DID IT ALL!! Led Zeppelin is the only band that comes close. Watch interviews with Eddie Vedder, Dave Grohl, Bono, Sting, David Bowie, Billy Idol, the Edge . . . the WHO set the bar.

[@brianwilling432]

Nothing like Bo Diddly n the Who get me fired up n get my day started! Got that spirit, is lacking today .

[@crlaw75]

Love this.

[@rajbeast]

75000 dope-smoking teens were at this concert! or at least so i've heard!

[@brianwilling432]

One word - Awesome!

[@knightm27]

genius. i picture a young jack white taking notes....!!

[@dyk910523]

Amazing how Pete is a conductor with the whole of his body whilst playing some of the best damn guitar...

[@macandrewes]

Imagine going to a concert and having your face blown off. These guys did that every night to ppl.

[@RicPhlare]

The Zombies, like many others, covered it. The song was written and the original versions were recorded by Elias McDaniel - better known as Bo Diddley.

[@RobertBixler-bt1od]

They can say what they want bout Zeppelin but the who buried them

[@dmanentertament125]

Definitely live. THE WHO IS THE GREATEST LIVE ROCK AND ROLL BAND OF ALL TIME!

[@BryanBetts]

man, you know at 4:26, that #2 les paul is howling as it is having those notes wrung from it! FANTASTIC!

[@icinglover95]

I love to watch Pete hop around!

[@Loki52020]

U can clearly see how Pete and Keith fed off thier energies.was like that from the beginning

[@icinglover95]

Hey look it's my husband, Roger Daltrey.

[@mottthehoople684]

I SAW THE WHO IN THE 70'S...WEHN THEY WERE ON YOU JUST HELD ON FOR THE RIDE...THEY WERE ROCKS OUTER LIMITS!

[@nkmcfrln]

That move that Pete does with his leg, huh? Two thumbs up for your comment? It's Pete's version of Chuck Berry's "Duck Walk". Road Runner is a song by some guy who went by the name of Bo Diddley. The intro to Mr. Brownstone might have everything to do with him. You're really into the rock n' roll aren't you? Twenty-three fucking years old and you don't have a clue! Don't you ever think of yourself as rock n' roll or a rock n' roll fan.

[@alsaxe1]

@999manman pete is and was very inconsistent w/his lead playing..he sort tried to play by the seat of his pants...sometimes it worked other times it was horrendous...i never understood y he never worked on his lead playing..he's been friends w/jimmy page, eric clapton, joe walsh and dave gilmour. They could have taught him a thing or two...lol

[@HumbertoPoubel]

esta é a melhor my generation que eu ja ouvi... e olha que eu ja ouvi dezenas...

[@GamerReview145]

puling of the fucking duckwalk, pete townshend is the greatest guitarist of all time, forget jimi hendrix, forget eric clapton, this man is better than them by a longshot

[@Fishqueen1972]

@EarlShoes1 So Beetoven is overrated? Because Pete's songwriting skills are on par with his.

[@johnjames1959]

My favorite version of My Generation.

Wonderful band..

[@corinaplacious5000]

Love this version of My Generation. Roger’s voice so incredibly powerful 😍

[@richardmaudsley939]

Keith was in such good form on this leg of the tour. Probably, for consistency and excellence, his best period.

[@mullinator7]

there used to be a video of join together, that was before this roadrunner on youtube, and My Generation Blues leads into an EPIC wont get fooled again, also used to be on youtube...

[@999manman]

@rammsteinbopper08 Yes! Defintiely! Anyone who thinks Pete can't play lead should take a listen...it still gives me goosebumps!!!!

[@AbsolutTazz]

this is fucking EPIC

[@NeedlessKane]

Awesome LP Deluxe, I have a vintage 1970 LP deluxe.

[@LennysComet]

they jammed just as hard as any band at that time.......

[@bliz78obrien1]

Road Runner sounds Hard Rock and swagger like Aerosmith cover "Honkin' on Bobo" It's a Rockin' Cover from Blues Guitarist Bo Diddley!

[@whyyeseyec]

I think he sounds like Pete Townshend, not Jimmy Page....

[@lakefield2112]

sheer beautiful brilliant madness

[@brianwilling8330]

Badass band! Rock n Roll!

[@mottthehoople684]

has anyone heard another that sounds like the who? enough said!

[@TrippleT17]

Thank you for the lecture. You're right, that was a pathetic oversight on my part. I am ashamed to consider myself a rock and roll fan and will from this day forward never call myself that again. Let me rephrase what I said. That move Pete does with his leg toward the beginning... ("Duck Walk" Trademark Bo Diddley) I'm gonna practice that every day for the rest of my life. Probably never get it. Tell me, professor, is the final exam open-internet? I simply don't think I could pass otherwise!

[@georgeinfante1106]

The WHO at there 🏆 prime

[@spiritofsylvox]

The Who took it to the next cycle ... and the next cycle is coming ... when things get bad enough ... and people get pissed off enough that pop pablum won't do any more.

[@whyyeseyec]

Pete, though not a proficient lead guitarist, is one of the best rhythm guitar players in history. Nobody has ever been able o windmill like Pete and actually hit the guitar strings. Try it sometime. Your inclination will be to not hit the strings for fear of slicing off your fingers....

[@YukioGL]

@EarlShoes1 seriously, I do believe their most well-known songs from around that period are actually flippin' lousy, and if you stay away from their LEGEND status you'll find out they actually have recorded music that ain't just good enough to consider them the greatest rock band in the world's history as most people will call them with no other proof than the success of those bloody red and blue albums

[@nkmcfrln]

"("Duck Walk" Trademark Bo Diddley)" . Yeah, you need to be a professor of Rock N' Roll to be familiar with Chuck Berry and his Duck Walk. It's the first image that should pop into your head when somebody says Rock N' Roll. I wasn't aware that Bo Diddley held the rights and the trademark for Chuck's Duck Walk.

[@alsaxe1]

@999manman having said that..i don't mean to be critical of him. He is my main influence on guitar....his playing on live at leeds is great. It seems as if he really tried to play well there....i read that he wanted to do a lot of single note playing to show hendrix what he could do..

[@steviea427]

Right before this video kicks in, the band is playing an awesome, epic version of "Join Together." It is on the album but not in the movie. Has anyone ever seen that piece of film? Does it even exist?

[@YukioGL]

@EarlShoes1 everyone's heard more than a thousand times without further examination on what their real contribution to rock music is... I mean, after all those are their hits, not the best or the most representative of their work. Nothing personal against the Beatles by the way. And yes, I love the Who, which won't stop me from saying they actually screwed up a few times by releasing music that didn't showcased their best.

[@mullinator7]

might be

[@999manman]

@alsaxe1 Good point!

[@skutter2001]

This is it,,this the point where the WHO peaked,,its here right now this is it..this is the ultimate hi lite..this is the WHO at the highest peak point!!!

[@rajbeast]

@whyyeseyec pete actually plays a lot of lead guitar here, listen to the solos, sounds just like jimmy page...

[@TrippleT17]

That move Pete does with his leg toward the beginning... I'm gonna practice that every day for the rest of my life. Probably never get it.

[@grski88]

Pete's doing the Chuck Berry "duck walk" there. Probably does it better than Chuck himself.

[@MrOz95]

The Young Vic version is great but this one has something especial. And the duck walk owns it.

[@BeatlesHarryPotter7]

Pete's like turned on a slow-mo button on his spazzout... xD

[@HumbertoPoubel]

quem será que veio ver o The e num gostou... mas viu... então é fan....kakaka

[@____Ai____]

it's not often that a cover rocks more than the original but this one does!

[@coravisser727]

congrats with your birthday and many happy returns.

[@LisaHDaniels]

so would i! i love the who and they will always be my favorite band

[@tommyandtammy1]

cool i love the song road runner. thanks. 5. God bless.

[@ZildjianAnimal]

pretty sure that Bo diddley wrote it

[@icinglover95]

@jjaaccoo Thank you! I knew we were!

[@mifolfree6683]

greatest duck walk ever recorded

[@garethnh]

4.21 till the end is pure Townshend magic......

[@rajbeast]

[@jennifersman]
