I think you mean you like the editing. This isn't just a one camera shoot.

[@harrykadaras9459]

That right hand of John's is just insane

[@thomascomeau9545]

I think he was referring to the awesomeness of Entwistle. Townsend may have been the musical genius, it was Entwistle that held the line in the Who. Cannot say enough about John's playing abilities. Thankful to have experienced the Who. Not to mention this song is still relevant today with everything going on around the world. Crazy.

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

Entwhistle's hands are all over that guitar, yet he always look like, _"whatever...."_ 😊😊😊 R.I.P., THUNDERFINGERS!!!!

[@markscrocca4573]

He was the most trained musician of the group.

It's so hard to mime to Keith Moon's drumming that even Keith himself has trouble doing it.

Unquestionably the best Rock 'n Roll band ever on stage. At the peak of their powers in 1971. Yep, I got to witness it that year in San Francisco. My ears were ringing for two days. It was worth it!

[@allbottledup9513]

I’d definitely say their very peak was 1974. Quadrophenia is a fucking insane display of power and skill. Who’s Next is definitely right behind that. Shit, By Numbers and Who Are You are solid 7.5-8.5 albums, through Keith’s decline definitely hurt WAY. Some of Townshend’s best material, could’ve been as good as Who’s Next. Everything after Keith’s passing in 78’ is hit or miss.

Thanks for posting this! It was filmed on July 7, 1971 for BBC's "Top of the Pops" at BBC Television Centre. They are miming to the single edit of the song.

[@nicandknacksandseans]

Is moony making fun of the fact that they’re miming by playing with T-Rex arms like that? Seems like something he’d do.

[@mjh5437]

He usually dd that when thst had to mime...just for fun I suppose.

[@videomaniac108]

This is from my favorite Who album: "Who's Next". I got into this album, Leon Russell and Humble Pie in the early 70s, a few years after I got out of the Army.

[@johnalec56]

Very rare that we see the band set up with John to Keith's left side & Pete to the right....

Thought the same thing. Weird.

What a strange place for a drummer to position a ride cymbal, but hey, it worked, and he’s a legend so

[@benbarclay5546]

I was carving a pole in Toronto in a park. A big sculpture. The Who played Exhibition Park a mile or two down from us. Our park was taken over by the pre-concert party, Mods and Rockers up to the armpits. We couldn't get tickets, but we heard the show just fine down the lake front. Next morning, one of our homeless friends collected $60 in beer empties from our park. Sixty Bucks! Thats a lot of beer empties. Stubbies, every one. This song is a good example of a 60's musician adapting to new technology, ie: the ARP synthesizer.

[@michaelplatter3281]

Released in 1971 - WHO is rocking to this in 2021 ?

[@oolongoolong789]

One of the great songs of the 70s. The Who at their peak.

[@michaelaiello9525]

Ah , I was hoping this would be a live version. Love the studio version of course ( not the edit ), but this is one tune I would love to see Pete play live. What a fantastic and unique guitarist… blending rhythm and lead seamlessly with the pushed off factor almost always at 10!

[@marcusnolte7476]

Great to see this od classic. Don't think there's ever been another pop-rock bassist as good as John Entwhistle was. Just look at those bass runs - magical. He left us way too soon. Keith Moon was the best too!! All round the best of British for sure.

[@geoffreylogsdon162]

I was always dumbfounded that Pete allowed this fucking horrible radio edit of what is easily one of the greatest long rock tracks of all time. Can you imagine radio edits of Hey Jude, Stairway To Heaven, or Bohemian Rhapsody? It is just wrong, it's like slashing a painting.

[@Neon-Covenanter]

(3:06) So that's where that comes from...

This has to be near the end of Pete using SGs as his guitar on stage (he definitely didn't use the SG on Who's Next).

[@heftosprod]

Ah, but he did. And on this very song as an overdub. But even after the Who's Next tours there were SGs used up till the end of 72.

[@HarvestHome2000]

Not bad, I suppose, apart from Daltrey's miming at 3:06! But I loved this from the first time I heard it, so much so that I eventually had an appraisal published in the Tamworth Herald, no less. (Another in my series... hope you're reading them all! Be warned - there's a controversial bit, regarding the full-length version, in this one):- I remember once, when walking past a jukebox, being almost literally hurled across the room by the opening blast from 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. This edited version issued as a single in 1971 represents a fine example of the pre-digital sound editor’s art - you just can’t hear the joins. The full version on the album ‘Who’s Next’, although breathtaking when played live, goes on and on and on, with a Pete Townshend synthesiser solo which in places sounds embarrassingly like a child playing with a toy. The uncompromising cynicism of the lyrics needs powerful delivery, something The Who were rather good at. Townshend makes his guitar bellow rather than talk; Keith Moon as usual sounds like he destroyed several kits during the session; and John Entwistle’s extraordinary BA-BA-BA-BA-BOOMS on the bass are a highlight of this fine musician’s contribution to a great band. Roger Daltrey’s vocals show a singer approaching the peak of his powers. It’s a performance of total conviction - spitting out the words, sounding mocking, contemptuous and triumphant in turn. The lyrics reach a fitting climax with the famous line, “Meet the new boss… same as the old boss.” The song offers no constructive answers, but as an anthem of rage it’s seldom been bettered. The Who provoked controversy throughout their long career, with hotel-wrecking, drugs and dubious subject matter for songs. The debate as to whether they should have called it a day after Moon’s death continues. But the enormity of their contribution to our musical heritage is undisputed, and they didn’t put out much better than the single version of ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’.
