The Who - Who Are You (Live 1989 LA Second Set)

A vibrant and energetic performance of one of the more recognizable songs by The Who. From the "hits" disk of the three disk Tommy/Quadrophenia live concert collection. A must-have for Who fans: www.amazon.com/...

[@Boldcharlie]

One of Pete’s finest compositions. Structurally perfect. Not a wasted note, or a repetition. He is really one of a kind as a composer.

[@danbeeker280]

AGREED

[@cismercier8009]

Absolutely. Between early versions and the final version, he added the protracted bridge with its guitar and piano parts - genius.

[@TheAnimeist]

Yeah this is a masterpiece.

[@TaurusLaughGuru]

Pete Townsend doesn’t get enough credit as a composer. Early on his compositions were going head to head with the likes of Jagger and Richards and Lennon and McCartney and Page and Plant. Those other bands were fortunate to have 2 generational song writers. The who were every bit as influential and cutting edge as they were and they had Pete as their main song writer. That’s unbelievable

Is there anyone else in rock history at age 45 who could sing with that much sustained power and control while running in place for something like 3 minutes, without ever appearing to be the slightest out of breath? Even Mick Jagger at his most athletic couldn't top this performance. He did at 45 what most rockers dream of doing at 23. And still smoking' hot.

Absolutely amazing performance. Roger running there is the visual and audio representation that man is made to run long distances. So great to see him running in time with the energy of a superb group of musicians. The Who's lyrics are as unbeatable as their sound. Nothing like them in modern day music...Not many places you can comfortably display the Union Jack at the moment, never any problem with this bunch of blokes... 💙🇬🇧🎤🇬🇧💙

[@sambassbo93]

One of the best performances in rock and roll history in my opinion

[@josephdonohoe4755]

the backing band Simon Phillips - drums Steve "Boltz" Bolton - rhythm and lead guitar John Bundrick - keyboards Billy Nicholls - backing vocals, musical director Cleveland Watkiss - backing vocals Chyna Gordon - backing vocals Jody Linscott - percussion Simon Clarke - brass Simon Gardner - brass Roddy Lorimer - brass Tim Saunders - brass Neil Sidwell - brass

[@artmoss6889]

The Who were critizrd by some for abandoning the quartet and adding an ensemble. The result is a different sound from the original, but I think it is excellent.

[@billcookman4756]

The one and only Simon Phillips. One of the greatest drummers ever.

[@jakobR2112]

Bill Cookman Their previous drummer, Keith Moon, is better in my opinion

[@ttocs68]

Keith Moon was sloppy and had no dynamic capabilities. in my opinion

[@jancampbell7687]

Scott is right. Moon was sloppy, lacked definition,and is the last guy you would hire as a drum instructor. If you saw him live, however, he was without peer and you never forgot him.

[@connorohagan5848]

Moon was best with drumming and faces

[@senormedia]

He does a tremendous job attempting to replace one of the most inimitable drummers ever. Zak is pretty good, too. Kenny - sorry Kenny, nice guy, wrong band. I guess it's my misfortune that I've seen every Who drummer - except the Loon.

What a band ....... tight unit, what band doesn’t hate each other? Like brothers.

[@LewDanLascivious8276]

These old progressive rock and roll bands were some of the most technically sound and musically tight and had the most electrifying energy live; they set the bar on how to do it and as far as I'm concerned no one has even close to matching it since and for me they include the following.⬇️ The Who Jethro Tull Pink Floyd Yes Emerson Lake and Palmer

[@JaLa248]

This was ANOTHER GREAT SHOW! Daltrey is always reinventing his looks! That’s cool..!

[@mikaelhaggard8031]

Rogers as good a singer as anybody from that era , and there were a lot of great ones. Great performance.

[@TaurusLaughGuru]

That intro was one of the smoothest most charismatic introductions to a song I’ve ever seen live. I always respected Roger before this but that intro sent chills down my spine

[@broyle7332]

Then they synchronize the end with the mic twirls. Fan friggin tastic!

[@bethreeks1964]

[@OMEGAMASSIVE]

Brilliant

[@nicholasharalambopoulos6771]

Keith Moon cannot be replaced because of his hart, passion & spirit. Also, he was the first one to play rock tunes with this unmatched style. Zac Starkey was very good for the job and he seemed to enjoy it as well. I agree, comparisons are useless but Simon Phillips is really somenthing else (I am sorry guys, I also love Keith Moon) in terms of technical skills as well as musicianship. Keith was a dynamite but this is another level of drumming.

[@montydaniels1054]

@The Axe Factor Yeah I've heard that before but evidentially the strat Pete used had one. He might have had the guitar tech remove that block so the tremolo would work for him. Pete did mention that the angle was different than how his are setup. lol I cringed when Pete explained why his hand was bandaged. I think he was on David Letterman's show..
