[@TastyChevelle]

This is a classic Lost In Vegas reaction. They know nothing of what's coming in the song, they love it, they pause and restart 50 times. One of the top 5 LIV videos.

[@skyscraper7474]

maybe if they interrupted and talked less, they would be among the best ever. my personal opinion.

[@theincantrix1144]

They don't love the song or the music. They only love what they can associate OUT of the song to fit what they think. I would imagine that everything they say is repeated ad nauseum for every video.

[@TastyChevelle]

@@theincantrix1144 they clapped

[@CrystalisQ]

@@skyscraper7474 - They've got 1.25 million subs for a reason. Doing what they do right now is that reason.

[@CarbonComs]

@@skyscraper7474 People love their style. If you wanna listen to the song all the way through with some oohs and aaahs there's a million different guys who will do that.

[@lawrencefine5020]

I love this song and I'm a hardcore Metal Head. And the "Whoooooo are yoooooo, who who whowho" fits in perfectly. This song needs repeated listening to truly appreciate the Who's "who" This song is 46 years old and it still sounds as fresh as the day it was released. RIP Keith Moon and John Entwistle

[@TheDivayenta]

Amen! Metal is full of lyricallity.

[@imjonesy5239]

Love, Reign o’re me by The Who will raise the hair on your arms. Roger Daltry’s vocals are killer!!!!

[@luckymandran]

The WHO was my very first concert in 1980 at an outdoor venue. It literally started to rain when the played this song and stopped right as it ended. Magical!!!

[@mark-be9mq]

Yes

[@michaelpodgorski1692]

Too good.

[@susanmurray7654]

My fave.

[@nickcds3419]

Yes!!!!!!

[@independenceltd.]

I guarantee they walked around all day sing "who are you, who, who...who,who". I'm a metalhead and I've always loved this song.

[@theodoreritola7641]

This is why the 70s were so great the MUSIC

[@roberttoews1049]

Exactly. That part is a building block to the rest of the song.

[@vivaCLEAR]

Check put The Magic Bus Live at Leeds. It's regarded the best rock album of all times(The Who- Live at Leeds). The Magic Bus rendition.... I swear you can see the birth of Metal.

[@independenceltd.]

@@vivaCLEAR I have it on vinyl and CD.👍

[@432htz3]

Metal head here as well... Its a banger.

[@davidcollins3906]

John Entwistle is consider the greatest rock bass player. Geddy loves him.

[@StormChaserJeremy]

Ol' Thunder Fingers

[@calkelpdiver]

@@StormChaserJeremy, Also known as "The Ox", because he carried the beat for the songs so much along with Moon on drums. Yes, Geddy gives his due to Entwistle. I would put Geddy first for his ability to play different styles on bass where as for pure driving power you have John Entwistle. F' Flea, he is only known for slap style playing.

[@teamfingahs4907]

Flea is known to be one of the greatest bass players in Rock. Not “just a slap style”

[@bookhouseboy280]

Jack Bruce, Chris Squire, Billy Sheehan were in his league. But how do you top The Ox?

[@cwall9962]

​You don't.

[@joshb23]

"The world is bigger than where you come from" WISDOM!!! So simple, but so hard for some to understand. As always, awesome video, love you guys! Keep digging into The Who, so many gems!

[@raoulduke8382]

Coming from a Hip Hop world, your ears are trained to find that dope part, and put it on repeat and leave it going. But rock songwriting from this era was all about dynamics and having contrast. The reason that the verse section you like so much can hit as hard as it does, is because the chorus lulls you into relaxing, before smacking you in the head again. Dynamics, contrast, light and dark, loud and quiet, etc…

[@risingvoice3063]

This

[@SteelerY360Nation]

Great & Honest Post. I'm from the Hip-Hop World

[@kramerbassplayer]

Bargain is also a banger

[@432htz3]

and fireworks

[@stlmopoet]

What he said.

[@davidcollins3906]

Love the beginning. It helps to build the dynamics in the song. 3 part vocal harmonies were big for the Who. They were big fans of 50/60’s R&B. This song has everything

[@Tbirdhaynes]

I love your statement “The world is bigger than where your from”.

[@CharlesBryan1]

The contrast between the different song elements is what makes this song F'n Great! Each bit is important.

[@Reani71]

Shoutout to Roger who just celebrated his 80th birthday. Efiing legend.

[@jongroubert4203]

Just saw/heard them last year. He's still got it. Effing legend is right.

[@CMClaudio1989]

14 minutes in and theyre just getting through the intro and halfway into the first verse 😂😂😂 great reaction

[@chrishedge5060]

I grew up in the 90s/00s listening to my parents' contemporary radio (the slogan was "70s, 80s, 90s, and today") - basically just the pop and AM radio hits with the occasional Marvin Gaye sprinkled in. In my early teens, I discovered rock radio. Then, around 17, I heard Latimore for the first time and it blew the R&B doors wide open for me. So much music that I'd never heard simply because it wasn't played on the 2-3 radio stations my family listened to. Variety is the spice of life and we're all better for it.

[@stevegurule1762]

At 60 I've listened to and enjoyed this band. At 16 I started playing drums guitar and as a rocker learned snippets of who songs. This piece of work that starts the song was necessary. the Who first and foremost was a Psychedelic Rock band and the arrangement at the end of a song would Segway into the next song. The appeal of the band was seeing if they could play these songs live and ( They delivered) And what crazy stuff they did to the community they performed in. Wrecking hotel rooms in destroying their instruments these guys are crazy. This is the type of band you get when you put four insane musicians in the same room with a tape recorder and LSD. Wow! Cool right? Amazing that some of them are still around . Thanks for your Exploration into rock you are helping to heal the world 🌍

[@FernandoMedinaDrummer]

"Bargain" really features Keith Moon's drumming!

[@zephead64]

I believe that most,if not all, Who fans have never had issues with the beginning or the chorus of this track.

[@da324]

The drummer on the album cover is in a chair that says, not to be taken away on the back rest. This album came out on Aug 21st, 1978. The late, great, and never straight, Keith Moon, was taken away a mere 17 days later at the tender age of 32 on Sept 7th, 1978.

[@canadave5269]

Haha "if you don't have ONE black friend..." respect!! You guys are great!

[@ardis523]

And the debate of the best.............continues 😊

[@janewatkins9801]

Love all of this song, especially the ..... Who are you 😊❤ bit.

[@anthonytice3028]

The irony of the chair Keith Moon is sitting on having “ Not To Be Taken Away” written on it

[@oozzyman9657]

Well said guys. I'm mexican and I actually didn't even start listening to mexican music till these past two years or so. I found yall back when you covered Logic however long ago but you've exposed me to so much music and got me into country and rock and you've made me realize that people that look like us can still enjoy those genres of music. Thanks so much for all you guys do. Keep it up!

[@Fuphyter]

I was 13 in 1970. Music is in my dna. Piano, drums, vocals. My Dad was Sinatra and big bands, Mom broadway soundtracks, 3 older sibs and I was into everything. Major Stones fan in HS. Stopped at "Some Girls". Loved Zep, Little Feat,James Taylor, Bonnie Raitt, Steely Dan, Stanley Clarke, Return To Forever, Johnny Winter, Vivaldi, Allman Brothers, Tower Of Power, Muddy Waters and more. Be easier to list who I don't like. So much great music to check out! Love you guys❤❤

[@nathanboulous2632]

One of your best reactions. So glad you loved this song. Also suggest getting back to Styx! "Blue Collar Man" and "Suite Madame Blue" I think you guys would really get into

[@TruckerMike_FL]

"Who Are You" is used as the theme song for theme song for the TV show 'CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"

[@ricobonifacio1095]

Also, Keith Moon is the King of Drum fills. He can fill more notes then you would think would fit and make it work. Love hearing his work.

[@Beevaldi]

Most of us, the who's fans, like the beatles and the beatles has this sound from this part "who are you who who" and that's cool to us.

[@jflago]

You can’t go wrong with The Who! The real video for Who Are You is worth checking out. Btw. Real in studio footage! The Who contained a genius, a madman, an ox and an angel. Two of them are left. Legends.

[@bryancue2238]

If you've watched any of the CSI shows, you've heard The Who. Each different version features a different Who song as the intro. Who Are You, Won't Get Fooled Again, I Can See For Miles, Baba O'Reilly....

[@browntabproductions]

The Guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend was a pioneer in synthesizer sequencing and used it frequently on multiple albums. On Live Recordings Drummer Keith Moon can be seen wearing headphones if the synthesizer sequencing tracks for him keep time to. The Who were also pioneers in the use of Lasers in Rock Concerts for aesthetic effects.

[@chrisclark7367]

Lost in Vegas. The Who is truly calling you. “Tell me who are you…I really want to know”. This video shows who you are - funny, shocked, blown away by how “fly” this is. Greatness all the way around

[@jeremiahrose4681]

There's a reason why the WHO is legendary....they were so insanely GREAT! Wait until you go through their caltalog.....you haven't heard anything yet.

[@jcroston3266]

I get what George is saying, I grew up completely 100% into rock, and as a musician, even more so. It was the disco era followed by punk followed by the 80s. As a teen then, if you were into rock it was all you listened to. The dudes I went to Clinton HS in the Bronx with didn’t listen to anything I was listening to. They were two very different worlds musically and I guess socially as well.

[@kevinandcarolynroutledge2981]

Keith Moon’s last album and the chair he is sitting on says “Not to be taken away”. Ironic

[@jamesvananda6382]

First time I have watched you. Cracked me up. Instantly subscribed!

[@jaydMANifistation]

I think it starts with easing into the thought and meditation at first, and then the real anger and power comes in more as the song goes along.

[@paulwebster3417]

The who kicked all the ass all the time. Great seeing you guys dig this. Ten of us jumped in a conversion van in 1980/81 when we were barely old enough to drive, lied to our parents about spending the night at each others house for the weekend, drove from Miami to Orlando snuck into the concert to see the who. Joan Jett and the B-52s opened.

[@armadillotoe]

You know it because it is used on the CSI TV program. This is the perfect theme song for a finding the bad guy series.

[@jaydMANifistation]

You guys make me smile.

[@devildart]

Fun fact, there is a part in the end where he sings " who the fu@k are you". And when this song was played on the radio, they would miss it. Only when it was fresh, they caught on right away and bleeped it. But for a week or two, it was hilarious.

[@patricknorton4475]

The WHO were master songwriters. The tag aka the cornball part is essential. Besides being catchy and becoming its own groove later in the song when combined with a beat and the lead vocals, it creates a sense of tension and contrast to make you yearn for the section you guys love so much aka the fly part. Understand, guys of this caliber are very aware of what they are doing. Love your vids gents! Keep crushing

[@lawrenceanthony7117]

You need to listen to "Love Reign O're Me" off of the album Quadrophenia to know the power of the WHO!

[@Jude_196]

OH, MAN!!! Don't know how I missed this one - but, listenin' NOW - I'm SURE ya'll LOVED THIS ONE!!! :) THANKS, GENTLEMEN!!!

[@sumonjamal1653]

Since u mentioned R&B... The Who actually started in the 60's as an R&B cover band... It was not until 1965 when guitarist Pete Townshend started writing original songs for The Who (The first Who single was "I can't explain") ... and Roger Daltrey (lead vocals) was the perfect frontman to sing Townshend's lyrics... They took their R&B influences and jacked it up to the max when their maniac drummer Keith Moon joined The Who... It was Townshend's song 'My generation' ...that broke The Who into the big time by 1967. 'Who are you' was the last album recorded by the original Who in 1978... drummer Keith Moon died that year from a prescription OD (he was using the pills to combat his alcoholism) ... The album cover of 'Who are you' was eerie because the band photo showed Keith Moon sitting on a chair w/ the words on it - "Not to be taken away" 😪

[@Seanriver316]

I was fortunate enough to have seen them on their first "farewell" concert tour. I slept outside of a local shopping mall to be in line for tickets. One of the top five shows of my life.🎸♥️😎

[@dashboarddevil4713]

Gotta understand that there wasn't much of anything like The Who when they came out. There was definitely some "ease them in and knock em tf out" with their sound. They set records for attendance, loudest concert, and were the first band known to have destroyed their instruments on stage. Keith Moon even detonated, with real deal explosives, his whole drum kit at one event. The explosion sent cybal shrapnel into his arm. Just epic and larger than life

[@drummerseb]

I love the "rant" you had because the whole purpose of a reaction video is that you witness a genuine reaction to a song you already know

[@hallowedground4101]

Entwhistle & Moon, one of the greatest rhythm sections in the history of rock

[@brendawierzbicki5030]

THAT is how a reaction should be done! F.n mic drop, boys. Well done👍

[@metalalex4227]

The who ....one of the most talented and distinctive sound in the history of rock .. pioneers and legends of rock . You guys should have a special " the who " ...with at least 10 songs ... Not one sound similar to the other

[@WaymoresBlues]

You guys may not have listened to The Who but you definitely have felt their influence in the music you grew up with. Pete Townsend is one of the pioneers of electronic music and that is no Casio synthesizer he is playing but a pre-computer analog synth operated by knobs and switches that took up half of room. Townsend had built his own in his home studio and brought the finished tracks to play for the band to follow in the recording studio. The same guys that worked with Townsend on his synth also worked with Stevie Wonder on all of his best albums from the early 70s. Listen to the synths on 'Very Superstitious' and compare them the synths on this song and you will hear the connections. Townsend's experimentation and understanding of electronics as well as music composition was vital in dialing in and producing a sound so polished that today over 50 years later it still stands the test of time.

[@memdoc_1966]

"The world is bigger than where you're from." Real.

[@KurtVW]

I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name He said you can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away. It is one of the best opening lines in all of rock. I am not a fan of The Who.. but this is a song I can relate to.

[@FaceEatingOwl]

Please listen to Bargain, also by The Who. Been telling you for years you've been sleeping on The Who 😉🤘 So many different and brilliant songs.

[@billrowe443]

This song is about a drunken encounter Pete Townshend had with two members of the Clash in a So Ho pub in London.

[@anneschreck5136]

A deep dive into The Who is well warranted.

[@jimschwartz39]

I’m a Metalhead, born in ‘68 and I know “This is how we do it”. Some of us metalheads hit the clubs in the 90’s too, most girls weren’t into metal, so you gotta go where the girls go to hook up.

[@davidrahowkaminski]

It was used as opening for the first C.S.I. TV show ^^

[@douglasg.9271]

The Who have a ton of great songs. This album is seriously underrated IMO.

[@chrisdelisle3954]

I think you’ll love “The Real Me.” The bass is amazing.

[@zacharygentle6548]

That's why I watch you two because you're pretty freaking honest I love the way like this stuff

[@janicekelly6667]

It's the start of go go go

[@BlackMarketHoney]

Ha Ha Ha! I am totally on the same page. I am an old white ass metal head and I hopped over this song when I heard the intro vocals. It's like a shit TV commercial!

[@markoliver630]

Class A rock band. No question

[@danamoog7652]

There is a section that sounds just like the “who’s” from Whoville in The Grinch stole Christmas… the old cartoon

[@MarkCox21125150]

The main verse sounds the way it does (awesome) because of how its juxtaposed to the rest of the song.

[@emichels]

I like these vids because music is doing exactly what is meant to do: Bring us all together. Keep rockin' dudes. I had my 'aha' moment with Rock songs (because I loved rap/hip hop as a kid) but I worked in a busy kitchen and the chef put on classic rock. First time I heard George Thorogood (one bourbon, one scotch, one beer) I was hooked for life.

[@markgreenfield3457]

This I think..was Keith Moons last recording.. tragic loss, a life lived so hard and fast and he was trying to sort himself out at the end, the video of them making this is fire…

[@martcp71]

Musical genius George McClintock mixed this up with Black Sabbath's Paranoid and you can find it on YT. It's called Who Are You Paranoid? And it's pretty amazing.

[@chuckherthum8719]

Punk meets the godfather, The real me, Love Reign O’er me, just a start off of Quadrophenia album, is a must!

[@Zoso-lz8ov]

You need to watch the video of them in the studio recording this song !

[@SunShine-qk4rb]

It’s a great song.behind blue’s eyes was covered by Limp biscuit,among others

[@michaelwalker5257]

Catch the LIVE VERSION (from Shepparton Studios) of 'Won't Get Fooled Again"! It doesn't get better than that.

[@GregNovakOPINvideoCT]

4:00-8:45 is why I keep coming back to you guys. Engaging persona and measured perspective... you bring a refreshing non-conceited, Everyman, conversational tone to these videos... and... ahem.... if you liked Opeth and Porcupine Tree, you might check out some Riverside. Band out of Warsaw, Poland. and honorable mention to Inside the Sound, still creating in Ukraine.

[@daveethridge7342]

I feel you. I didn't know that KC and JoJo were in Jodeci. I probably spelled that wrong. My wife told me that. I have always preferred Rock and Metal. Even when I was 5. 1982. I'm still finding old music that's new to me.

[@adamthirdbourne324]

"...take that shit out!" 😅

[@jesusprada2747]

CSI. which was a huge show at the time these two were young men .

[@bonessmith1276]

The Who's bass player is a MONSTER player. The whole band had their chops on their instruments. John Entwistle & Keith Moon ,once the band lost them, they were not the same. Both were too original to replicate with another player. Think of Geezer Butler & Bill Ward. Together they made magic.

[@richardbenacquisto1633]

Eminence Front is a groove.

[@catsmeow4264]

"British Invasion" First The Beatles then The Rolling Stones then The Who then The Kinks etc... I heard you mention "Supper Fly", Curtis Mayfield. I will have to sample and maybe download the album! Haven't heard it in a while!

[@noshdaminsk]

The Real me by the Who is a brilliant song - amazing bass by the Ox.

The is probably the best band in the world if Zeppelin didn’t exists. Townshend is own of the single greatest rock composers in the world and had the band to make his music legendary!!!!

[@bobbiedeleon4845]
