The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again (Shepperton Studios / 1978) | First Time Reaction

[@Ckom-Tunes]

They were filming ‘Alien’ at the same time in this studio. The film crew borrowed their lasers for the scene in the Queen’s egg chamber. We had the shit back then for entertainment!

[@garyburley1960]

the blue laser was a rare laser in 1978, and next door Ridley Scott was filming Alien. Ridley asked the Who to borrow their laser. It was The Who's laser covering the egg chamber in the film

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

They played at the “Concert for NYC” after 9/11

[@chrisswash7923]

The best group ever by a country mile

[@doughaviland1729]

Pete Townsend is a musical GENIUS! One of the most innovative and creative musicians EVER. He wrote the Rock Opera Tommy and followed up with Quadrophenia. Their catalog is decades long and not to be passed over. It's a Deep Rabbit Hole my friend! PREPARE TO BE AMAZED!😆

[@MK-gv7qr]

One of the greatest bands in rock history. Anyone who says differently is just wrong.

[@matthewmaus]

And the very greatest live band of all time, xxx

[@nowhere982]

Can you believe that was 45 years ago

[@naturesounds-ib5dh]

remember hearing this song live in a traffic jam next to an outside concert in Toronto, everyone's windows down & everyone hanging out of them listening!! Loved it then and still love it now!

[@RuiBarEdits]

Roger Daltrey is one of the best frontman ever!

[@sarahgarner5425]

The who played this song at the concert for new York after 9-11. They stole the show. I can never forget it. Great!

[@peterramsay4674]

Light show like that in the seventies ? Absolutely. The who had the best, most innovative intros in history. Check some other songs. Great intros. The lyrics were so so good. Like listening to poetry. Lyrics were a big thing in those days. Something modern day rappers should appreciate. They always say it’s all about the bars. And this is next level musicianship. There’s no weakness in any part of this band. Everybody watches Daltrys screaming, Townsends manic guitar and energy and Keith Moon on drums but go back and check out John Entwhistles bass in this song. He goes at it man. He goes at it hard. Live shows like this don’t happen very often.

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

Greatest Scream in Rock & Roll

[@debra7105]

All of the CSI crime scene televised series in the US had the Who as their theme songs. They fit into the stories perfectly.

[@JaLa248]

Yes and Roger is in some of those shows too!

[@Flatwoodsdad]

Thanks for the reaction. "The Who" rock no doubt about it. I remember the concert for NYC after 9-11. I hadn't seen them in a long time and thought - Man those guys are getting old, hope they pull it off.. They slayed the place. Felt sorry for all the bands that had to follow them. I'd certainly watch more Who reactions. Thanks again.

[@johnfaustintx]

Have you ever seen a bass played like that?? He was burning it up! You have discovered the tip of the iceberg, my friend. Thanks for another insightful reaction. As Tina would say, "Simply the best!" ✌

[@AlexSolomon91]

John Entwistle is the best

[@Panch21]

Unreal

[@destrojohnson6564]

This is the last performance of the drummer Keith Moon before he died of a drug overdose.

[@brianshockledge3241]

The Who paved the way for so many bands and The Who were the first rock band to use lasers in concert. Watch them play "A Quick One" at the Stones Circus 1968 and "Young Man Blues¬ at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970.

[@JaLa248]

Yes…. I watched in interview with Daltrey about this Song… I words Are real life issues they’ve had + there old manager had stole money from them.. ( A Lot ) Roger caught it but Pete wouldn’t believe it until Rog proved it to him! Kit never forked the money back either!! Kit’s excuses is what the Band fired him and …. Here comes Won’t get fooled again “ One of their Best songs ever!!! YEAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

[@danalawton2986]

This "version" might be from 1978, but the song was released in 1971 and it was basically the exact same. It is on the Who's Next album.

[@joymaxs2874]

What a fantastic performance!!! I loved their energy 🤘🏼 Great reaction as always Hap ❤ Thanks for sharing this!!

[@Blasserman]

"You know the hypnotized never lie". One of my favorite lines.

[@scottderechinsky9896]

The Who were the first band to user lasers in their show. They were innovators in so many ways. LONG LIVE THE WHO!

[@jillmcilwain2633]

The Who is definitely worth smiling about!! Great reaction. So much music in the library. Baba O'Riley (Shepperton Studios version) is a song I would love to see a reaction to, all in due time. They were the first to destroy their instruments...and hotel rooms making them rebels of rock. Their songs have a lot to say. Pete Townsend wrote this song after an altercation at Woodstock,, as he didn't want the stage hijacked for agendas. Welcome to The Who. Peace ✌ ☮

[@AliasMark69]

The WHO….. “The Kids Are Alright” Tour 1989. Rich Stadium Buffalo N.Y…….. AWESOME After the concert the Who were being interviewed on the local radio station and the DJ asked the band…. “So what do you think about that new RAP music coming out”…. Roger Daltrey laughed and started to answer when John Entwistle said….. “let me answer this one….. It seems to me that if you can’t write music, can’t play music, can’t sing music, if you know absolutely nothing at all about music, well then, you do rap now don’t you”….. Then. Pete Townshend said….. “If Hitler was going to come back and torture the world again he would use rap music. Roger Daltrey laughed and said…. “Isn’t that the truth”

[@jakethomas3205]

The Who used lazer lights in 1976 at Charlton and Swansea football ground for the Who put the boot in tour.They were always at the forefront when it came to PA development and light shows:The Charlton gig was recorded as the loudest concert at the time of 126db.The Who were not only better than everyone else but also much louder.

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

I was 12.....good grief! I feel.....all young again! Lol😁☮️♥️😎😘

[@annmonaghan4360]

Omg, absolutely epic

[@denikennedy6675]

" THE WHO" the iconic artists whom I've learned to appreciate when I got older. Now I get it!! FANTASTIC!! EXTREMELY ENERGETIC REACTION, Hap!!🥰🎶🎵🎶🎵

[@TheTomt50]

The most epic slide in Rock n Roll.

[@AlexSolomon91]

John Entwistle the best bass player ever, ill give him the recognition

[@tricia8617]

Nobody plays the mic like Roger Daltrey! Lucky enough to have seen them 4 times during the 70’s...amazing.

[@donaldbrunner6250]

I love watching them live. The difference between Pete Townshend and John Entwistle on stage

[@scottderechinsky9896]

Baba O'Riley, Who Are You, Love Reign Oer Me, Join Together, The Real Me, Behind Blue Eyes, 5:15....the list goes on and on and on...

[@jakethomas3205]

Those who were not there in the 70's thought that Zeppelin were the best live band.Thiae of us who were around and saw both bands realised that the Who were in a different league!

[@beatmet2355]

You should see their Smothers Brothers appearance. The drumkit EXPLODES! Lol Maybe just watch their movie, The Kids Are Alright. It’s full of great moments. “Young Man Blues” at the Isle of Wight, 1970 is another memorable performance.

[@adamkelm1043]

The Live performances were the stuff of legend. Amazing band.

[@827dusty]

I saw my share of great Bands in concerts in the 1970s, and The Who were spectacular.

[@markjohnston1813]

john Entwistle can not be beat on the bass he is simply the f..king best and I'm glad I met him before he parted this world

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

Wait for it

[@johntarnowski9086]

Greatest live rock band ever

[@jxm1677]

No band live will ever come close to The Who in their early 70's prime. They were a juggernaut.

[@snjezanasiklic8934]

I just realized I know parts of this song (probably from CSI again 🙂) but never heard the whole thing. They are in the zone here! All of them! Btw, the title reminded me of the Queen song "You don't Fool me" which you haven't done yet (just a hint 🙂)

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I miss the days when The Who were the best live band in the world

[@bostonwhofan]

Regarding the laser show at the end, the movie "Alien" was being filmed in the studio next to where The Who did this performance at Shepperton Studios. The cast and crew of the movie wandered over to see The Who's performance and they were blown away by the lasers at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again. The Who lent their lasers to the Alien production and it was used in the movie. Next time you see the movie Alien, keep an eye out for the lasers The Who lent to them. But I digress. You should react to Baba O'Riley at Shepperton Studios next.

[@haziqzaidi]

Nah. You lying. My brother said that never happen

[@DonnaleaSpencer]

Hap - thanks for this. The Who, - "I Can See For Miles", My Generation", "Pinball Wizard", "Behind Blue Eyes", and so many others. I'll go check your list to look for others. If not yet, there we are! Love it.

[@sumerfluffy]

The Who.... fantastic rock band! Always loved Roger Daltrey. Loved his solo albums also. Such keen ears HAP! You pick up everything ❤️❤️

[@chrisy8989]

I'm so glad you're enjoying them, Hap. I wasn't a fan in the early days and it took me a few years to appreciate them. Thanks for the reaction!

[@bowbutter7608]

Great song Great band Great day's Great people 1970s ( play young man's blues I.O.W 1970s (I'm lucky to see them 26 times) 🎸🇬🇧👍

[@minhearg8331]

The Who has two lead guitarists, one of them happens to be playing base.

[@hilarywilliams1909]

A Hi-Hat cymbal is actually 2 cymbals mounted together on a stand. The bottom one is fixed while the top one is attached to a pedal that allows the drummer to raise or lower it so that it is sometimes in contact with the bottom. The drummer here is Keith Moon (the Loon) and his kit does not include a hi-hat, so the cymbal that went flying was a crash cymbal.

[@tonihagan8438]

Pete Townsend is rocking it. Heard a lot about him over the years. He is legend, but I never saw him perform before.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

I can't ever see Roger Daltrey without thinking of his role in the Canadian TV series The Highlander. A pretty good actor too 🙂

[@MusicLover-dt7ic]

Excellent video choice. Windmill Pete shedding it lol, Keith showing why he is known as the mad man drummer as always, Thunderfingers in his own world of peace with the choas around him lol, Roger choosing his next target with the mic lol...excellent reaction. Thanks.

[@JaLa248]

A lot of people say, that was one of the best shows too!!

[@d-2793]

Roger Daltrey is one of rocks best voices!

[@judycolella5554]

A fun fact: Roger Daltrey, the lead singer, had a recurring role on "Highlander: the Series." He has definite comic actor chops. Great reaction again!

[@marggie4129]

Loved watching your face, Hap..lol

[@MrGb1965]

I think the wing nut that secured the cymbal just became unscrewed, enabling the drummer to swing upward and knock it off the stand. If you watch an extended version of this, the drummer jumps forward off his stool in front of the drum kit. Thanks for posting.

[@gcarap]

One of the most iconic moments in Rock history, simply referred to as The Scream, at 9:53

[@SergioMeneses2009]

This music soundtracks CSI MIAMI

[@matthewmaus]

In 1970 PT was asked by a left-wing socialist group of Who fans if he could write an anti-right-wing anthem (with Nixon in the Whitehouse, and Heath in No10). Instead he wrote this, with its anarchist/nihilist coda - 'Meet the New Boss/Same as the Old Boss.' According to one source (on KZbin, in fact) the laser/synth bit near the end was meant to be 'hypnotic' - suggesting we are hypnotised into thinking the New rulers will be better than the Old - until the Who wake us up. A masterpiece, imho, xxx

[@davescurry69]

Loved your response. If you're really liking The Who on stage, maybe try these ones; "Young Man Blues" (from Isle Of Wight 1970) "A Quick One While He's Away" (Rock and Roll Circus 1968) "See Me, Feel Me" (Woodstock 1969)

[@craigproctor9560]

The very last live performance by Keith moon he died on September 7 1978 age 32

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

👍😎❤️😉

[@karenj3611]

Ok I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say they look a bit loaded here

[@bryanglassglass8971]

Weren't they usually

[@stefanconradsson]

The kinds of laser shows you see here were promptly outlawed in the USA and the rest of the world followed. There were only three bands that did this sort of thing in the late seventies: Led Zeppelin, Blue Öyster Cult and The Who. It was deemed way too dangerous to the eyes of the audience and has never been replicated on this scale in live settings since. It is not CGI or some camera trickery .. this is what it looked like before it got universally banned and removed. Great song and fantastic drama, it was to be the last hurra for Keith Moon the lunatic drummer that died not long after. [edit]: as far as I know, BÖC were the first to use lasers like this and the one band of the three that couldn't really afford it, it was a minor metal band that had a physics professor from NYC build the system for them. It was catastrophically unreliable, laser tubes would brake and require regular maintenance making it hugely unpractical and a pain in the ass to set up and transport. The FDA or some governmental function actually went to their concerts to measure the radiation and came to the conclusion that it was beyond the pale to expose audiences to such an experiment. Lasers were directed directly at the eyes of the paying public! It may or may not have been as dangerous as they claimed, but doing it like The Who did it is no longer an option. Of the three bands, this clip by The Who is the best to show what it might have looked like. There are clips of BÖC that shot it in use too but not of this quality, for Zeppelin it was used as part of an extended psychedelic guitar solo by Jimmy Page where he had a laser connected to the violin bow he used on his guitar. No good footage of this exists outside of bootleg filming. Lasers are sometimes used in productions still but never shot straight at the audiences eyes like here. Pink Floyd have used lasers in the 90s I think but much more controlled. The Zeppelin reunion at O2 arena had Jimmy Page standing inside a laser pyramid directed from above to the stage and not at the audience. It essentially existed between 1977 and 1979, something like that. Very short period and only three bands were involved as far as I know. Cheers 🍺

[@Elizabeth-yp8re]

Who are you is great😉

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

I’d love to know how many guitars Pete smashed

[@debjorgo]

Go back to the beginning for the Who. Talking about My Generation.

[@jeanninedoyle9523]

Now

[@thegreatnessoftheraiders4948]

The lights were borrowed from the movie Allen’s being filmed in the same studio complex.

[@maysa9085]

Hi congratulations for the channel and reacts please check the duo of pop disco's 80 Modern Talking and the greatest song "you're my heart you're my soul" you gonna like this thank you!!!

[@deeyears3978]

Sorry I never was into The Who, they were just too wild for my taste. He lead guitarist seemed to be flying high on something other than his guitar. I know my friend you react to so many genres of music and there are those I don’t like as this one but we all have and are entitled to our own opinions! I loved it Hap when the music was so loud you pulled your earphones from your ears! I never saw you do that before! Love ❤️ from across the pond.

[@827dusty]

About the system, fake ass politicians etc. Funny, both Rodger Daltry, and Pete Townsend are politically conservative in their old age (mid 70s).
