[@user-pd9oi5hi1d]

Cool story bro 👍

[@weray7605]

So now you know Keith Moon -- 'perhaps' the greatest drummer of all time -- certainly an inspiration to Neil Pert and every other drummer in the history of the universe. Famously in 1973 Keith Moon, after enjoying some elephant tranquilizers with his booz and drugs, passed out in concert. So Pete Townsend asked if anyone in the audience could play the drums for the rest of the concert. And some guy got up on stage, Scot Halpin, and played the rest of the set! .... Ah, the 70's.

[@burtonmediaprod]

you've just experienced the greatest "lead" drummer in rock history. He plays the drums like a lead guitar or lead keys. Just incredible.

[@VadersRage]

I'm glad you were hooked up with the "original" uncensored version. It took the Morality Police like 35 years to realize they drop 2 "F bombs" in the song. Now they ask "Who the Hell are you?". Sad.....just sad.

[@scottschleifer8739]

Seen The Who on most tours since the 1982 Farewell Tour. Kenney Jones is a fine drummer, but didn't fit (but his stuff w/The Faces and Small Faces is awesome), Simon Phillips was better on the Townshend solo albums. Zak is just plain amazing IMHO

[@RossJDubin]

Scott, Roger talks about Kenny not being a good fit in his book. I do like face dances, but Kenny's drumming. So tight, it was too much of a change from Keith wild style

[@debbeborders5762]

I love the synchronicotu of that just the same.

[@rosieb949]

Jamel, I know you know this by now, but it's been so COOL for us to know that all the CSI's were opened with the WHO songs. A lot of people don't know they're old songs, but they work SO well as the beginning theme songs for those shows.

“The Who” are one in a million; best bassist and drummer bar none, top three lead singers/lead guitarists. Best the British Invasion could offer. Roger Daltrey is impeccable.

[@youbetcha6880]

Pete Townshend wrote this after being woken up drunk on brandy in an alleyway by a cop who said, "I'll let you go home if you can get up and walk away."

[@dwgale01]

Well, if you're Pete Townshend and you spend a drunken night spouting off and getting into fights at the Hard Rock Cafe and possibly various other locations around London, you write an epic song about it.

[@gregorymaroda4860]

Supposedly after fighting with the Sex Pistols who were calling him washed up. Well "who are you?" was his reply. And THEN he wrote a killer song about it! Who are you indeed.....

[@gasaholic47]

And what’s interesting is that The Who, especially their early stuff, was a big influence on many punk bands, especially The Clash.

[@gregorymaroda4860]

[@tonyrichards254]

He'd passed out drunk after collecting a massive royalty check, something like £6 million; he encountered Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols at the pub. They were cool with him, but talking with them made him even more sure that the Who were dinosaurs, sellout. The check was still in his pocket ("Looked back on my busy day" "11 hours in the Tin Pan", like Tin Pan Alley, where songwriters used to work way back in the Sinatra days, etc). When the cop let him off, he was belligerent and hollered "Who the fuck are YOU?!" The Rolling Pin was a pub, so he went and continued drinking. He felt unworthy of all the adulation-- "I spill out like a sewer hole, and still receive your kiss... " and wrote this song with a massive hangover. The whole Who Are You album is about his feelings of being obsolete and a hack. The first song is "New Song", all about him pulling a new song out of his ass, loading it up with what he felt were Who trademark cliches, and people would automatically love it without thinking.

[@starman6280]

[@ripvanwinkle2002]

what a waste of a great lyric.. but lots of music is to for or about things that dont exist.

[@maeseman]

I knew this one was coming... so great to see tour reaction. My fav bamd. I'd suggest the next songs: 1. "Love reign o'er me" from the rock opera Quadrophenia. Closing song. Probably Roger Daltrey's best vocals and Keith Moon's most symphonic drumming. 2. "Baba O'Riley", from same album as "Won't get fooled again". Some iconic lines also in the lyrics, you will identify immediately. 3. "Young man blues" live version from the Isle of Wight concert in 1970. To fully appreciate what The Who were at their prime. 4. "Pinball wizard", "Oberture" from the (first) rock Opera, "Tommy". A must listen in its entirety. 5. "Bargain", personally one of my favorites, less epic in appearance but deep lyrics and some of Keith Moon's best drumming ever. 6. "The real me" from Quadrophenia. One of the best bass playings ever by the quiet man John Enwistle. 7. "Behind blue eyes". 8. "I can see for miles" 9. "My generation" 10. "You better you bet" And down the rabbit hole you go! Peace out!

[@arellatikvah]

Great list!! I'd add Bald Headed Woman!! I love the vocals on that!!

Jamal, you're REALLY gonna dig "Eminence Front" by The Who. I can feel it.

[@gollumandeowyn]

So much yes!

[@SpaceCattttt]

You can feel it? Who the fuck are you?

[@SpaceCattttt]

@@Itelkner Did you even listen to the song???

[@Itelkner]

Don't know what your problem is and don't care. Yes, I've been been watching and enjoying Jamal's videos awhile and have a sense he might like it knowing a little of his taste. Then again, who knows, he might not. Fuck off.

[@Itelkner]

@teppolundgren I guess that means you were having a little light-hearted fun quoting the lyrics at me.

[@mikek5958]

That Jamal "DAMN" at 5:33 is courtesy of the late, great John Entwistle.

[@johnbode5528]

Nope, that's Pete on an acoustic, thoroughly coked up. Saw an interview with him some years ago where he talked about it, mostly that he couldn't remember actually doing it.

[@mikek5958]

@@johnbode5528 I'm talking about the bass lick behind Pete's acoustic.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

The Who is one of those bands that I never paid much attention to; their music is heard all over the place, so it becomes background easy to take for granted. Paying attention, though, sonically - the arrangements and instruments - is really amazing.

[@denatokaya315]

Wow! What a great song from a great band! I love the music from this band, too! Who the $*^@ are you? That was very risky in the 1970’s! Great reaction, Janel. Thank you for reacting to this song.

[@TheDivayenta]

One of rock’s greatest drummers- Keith Moon , who died of drug and alcohol overdose.

[@ronaldhorsley1600]

Moon the loOn

[@dmstewart66]

He did not die from drugs and alcohol. He had just reached 6 months sober! He died by taking too many of the anti alcohol pills he was prescribed. He was completely sober for months and that was a massive achievement for him. He died just as he was cleaning his life up. Terrible tragedy.

[@joebrown5120]

Passed out behind the kit and gets replaced by 19 year old audience member Scot Halpin. That’s rock n roll.

[@MrObelisk2290]

He actually overdosed on medication to treat his alcoholism

[@TheBlackQueen]

David Stewart Hence "Drug overdose"

This was my Dad’s Favorite Band. All he talked about was the WHO.

[@profjohnfrinks]

Wise man...

[@TheAmazingSnarf]

The finest compliment i've ever received, musically, is that the band i was playing with "rocked as hard as the Who." i disagreed, for yes, we rocked as hard as we could, but it certainly wasn't as hard as the Who rocked. We were terribly flattered, but we weren't worthy of that comparison! Still, it felt good. Still does. We love you, Jamel. You rock as hard as the Who.

[@rodgertorkkola5056]

I was born in 1966, by 1976 I was listening to Dick Clark's top 40 on Saturday Night, got me into a lot of different musicians and music, no auto tune, not a lot of synth effects, just being good at what you do and getting better at what you do.

[@Stovokor78]

Great job as per usual dude! The Who are definitely one of my top 10 goose bump bands! And you have reacted to my 3 most listened to songs by them! I grew up with my mum playing all the great 60s,70s,80s, and I watched all the CSI's when i was younger. 1. Who are you = CSI Las Vegas 2. Won't get fooled Again = CSI Miami 3. Baba O'Reily = CSI New York. Not to mention the hundreds of movies they have been in! Keep on rocking those reactions my dude! 🤘💯

[@maiconwilbert1]

You must hear the album “Tommy” entirely, without pauses! The Who is the best!

[@coletedeux]

Watch the movie also. The poek & beans scene is classic.

[@cwall9962]

And then Quadrophenia!!

[@wfly81]

I love how you look up at the 6:00 mark. Like, something tells you "I hear angels...I have to look up so I can see the angels!!"

[@nelliejewell2665]

Yes, please pay attention to the artists listed at the bottom of the screen. It will blow your mind just how much you have come to know just by listening to this awesome throwback music that has shaped so many of us boomers into who we are today in our daily lives. Music with expressive meaning.

[@Swervin309]

The drummer is Keith Moon. He died in 1978. Arguably, one of, if not the best drummer of all time.

[@alanmumford8806]

In my opinion, 'Who's Next' is one of the best albums of all time. I never tire of listening to it.

[@kainable8769]

CSI is Who Are You CSI: NY is Baba O’Riley CSI: Miami Won’t Get Fooled Again

[@russellhoyt588]

And CSI: Cyber used "I Can See For Miles."

[@douglasstrother6584]

John Entwistle and Keith Moon were the foundation that Pete Townsend and Roger Daltry danced on. That's what they said.

[@oldedominion8782]

You've HEARD it... now you're LISTENING to it, focused on it, appreciating it, and that's awesome. That's how we used to listen to this music, 'back in the day'. Entire albums at one go, especially in the '70s when so many of the best Progressive Rock albums were 'concept' albums and were meant to be listened to like that, first Side A, then Side B. They told *stories*. These days, most songs are one-offs, meant to be downloaded from Spotify or the Apply store, auto-tuned and neutered and designed for mass appeal instead of integrity.

" I woke up in a SoHo doorway, a policeman knew my name...."

[@alrivers2297]

True story that happened to Pete Townsend

[@JamesWilson-vr3ql]

"...you can go sleep at home tonight, if you can get up and walk away."

[@glynissigrist2442]

Not SoHo (New York) but Soho in London.

[@gordonblair3981]

@@glynissigrist2442 Not true. This song is based on a day in the life of Pete Townshend. It began with a very long meeting dealing with royalties for his songs: "Eleven hours in the Tin Pan, God, there's got to be another way." The "Tin Pan" he is referring to is "Tin Pan Alley" which is the name given to the collection of New York City-centered music publishers and songwriters who dominated the popular music of the United States. After this excruciating meeting he received a large check for royalties, left and went to a bar and got completely drunk. In that bar he encountered Paul Cook and Steve Jones of The Sex Pistols, who thought very highly of Pete for paving the way for punk rock music. Townshend was conflicted because he feared The Who had sold out, and seeing The Sex Pistols, who were icons of rebellion, exacerbated him even more. Pete left that bar and passed out in a random doorway in Soho (a part of New York). A policeman recognized him ("A policeman knew my name") and being kind, woke him and and told him, "You can go sleep at home tonight (instead of a jail cell), if you can get up and walk away." Pete's response: "Who the f--k are you?" >>

[@glynissigrist2442]

Gordon Blair I hear what you say and agree the reference to Tin Pan Alley and Soho and Pete Townsend being in New York at the time but he mixed American and English terms in the lyrics with reference to the ‘underground’ and ‘tube’ both of which are definitely in London and are English terms. That is why the misunderstanding about SoHo and Soho.

[@daveking9393]

Wait till you see them perform live... This music is produced in layers as all good classic rock and roll is...

[@mattharvey968]

Just another reason why the 70s was the best decade for music! So much diversity in bands and sounds and types of music!

[@mike-mintz]

The Who don't get enough credit. Been listening to classic rock since a little kid, I'm 30 now and for me when it comes to songwriting and musicianship it's still The Who, then everyone else. So glad you've been doing these videos! Keep going.
