The Who (Young Man Blues Live Isle of Wight 1970) Kel-n-Rich's First Reaction

[@navynugget7]

Their isle of wight 1970 performance, is my favorite live performance ever.

[@simonKagree]

One of the Smothers Brothers: 'Where did you learn that style of guitar playing?' Pete: "Bowling!"

[@juls5347]

LIVE AT LEEDS!! Anything from that álbum is amazing

[@ChromeDestiny]

I agree completely, other excellent live Who tracks are Relax from Live at The Fillmore East 1968, Bargain & My Wife live in San Francisco 1971 which were featured on Who rarities comps in the 80's and the versions of My Wife, Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again from the late 70's on the Kids Are Alright soundtrack.

Magic Bus Live at Leeds......................totally awesome

[@markschattefor6997]

Yess Live at Leeds is in my top ten of most axciting live albums ever.

[@willyroussel3563]

Best live album ever and i live and breath Led Zeppelin

[@SMccrate01]

EVERY (except Kel apparently) teenage record collection in the 70's had Live at Leeds! Listen to Young Man's Blues from this album at ear-bleeding volume levels...not kidding here.

[@tonybrownson9051]

I've been lucky enough to see The Who live 14 times, 5 of them with Keith Moon. I've seen hundreds of bands in my time & The Who are miles ahead as a live band. Stay Safe Tony

[@elcarto22]

You two are the most fun to watch, ever. Rich, you are blessed with a gorgeous wife, who shares your love of music, but who is just coming into the world that we all grew up in. And Kel has the perfect partner for her new adventure. Every one of your videos is like listening to these songs for the first time all over again, and I thank you both for sharing that! ;-) My daughter is a blues guitarist and singer in Nashville with her own travelling group (Nikki Barber and the Minks), and watching her come to her musical 'place' has been the wonder of my life. Can't wait to hear Kel start to rip on her guitar!! ;-)

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

Thank you so much Richard. What you have written really lands for both Kel and I. Thank you for being so bold and honest enough to share this. We just live that you are choosing to hang out with us. We just posted 2 new vids from yesterday. Prong and Savatage. Have fun with those.

[@Kel.N.RichReactions]

And congrats on Nikki’s success!!!! I’ll check them out.... www.theeastnashvillian.com/the-minks/

The Who is the greatest Rock band ever.

[@tcjnz86]

Without question!!

[@lewisner]

I think I Can See For Miles is the greatest rock song ever.

[@puromichoacan8339]

They're alright . . . But you need to learn when GOD walkes the earth aka ZEPPELIN

[@MrThumbs63]

@@puromichoacan8339 Zep ripped off a ton of music. The Who didn't and would mop the floor with Zep.

[@michaelfindlay5129]

Kel-n-Rich "Water" from Isle of Wight is just is GOOD! In the same vein. Also, Tommy, all songs at the same concert are AMAZING. Young Man Blues is my favorite performance EVER!

[@mrfrosty3]

This particular performance is just wonderful, my favorite live performance ever.

[@garylahti2687]

Won't Get Fooled Again The Who Love your videos

[@zolafuckass8606]

The Who, Young Man Blues, Live at Leads. My dad showed me that in 2001. My sister was in a ballet lesson at the time. I have a very visceral memory of my dad climbing back into his VW Jetta, closing his door and saying to me "Son, I've got something I wanna show you." Up ti this point in time, I'd only ever heard "wheels on the bus" and other kids songs. My dad pops in the CD, and The Who proceed to methodically blow my 6 year old brains out. As far as I'm concerned, the Who have always been and will always be *ROCK AND ROLL.*

[@murraystevens9438]

New subscriber but long time Who fan. Saw them in 1968 in Saskatoon Sk when I was 16. Still the best concert of my life! They returned to Saskatoon in 2018. I was hesitant to see them as I never got over the loss of Keith Moon and Ox - John Entwistle. Very glad I went. Great concert. Zak Starkey on drums was terrific! They closed with Won’t Get Fooled Again and it was magnificent ... rock at its best!

[@michaelnorman2967]

You know it Rich!!! This kicks ass!!

[@MrsMc-tt4xl]

My very favorite Who song. . . Craziness

[@bertspivey3214]

Watching the Who is always a unique experience. It's three car crashes happening simultaneously with John anchoring the whole thing with those loping bass lines.

[@MrThumbs63]

Exactly!!

[@trajan6927]

The Who greatest live band.

[@ptperry9013]

They kicked it HARD in 1970. This song is dynamite 🧨!!!

[@threepeater]

The WHO are amazing, and I am sorry for the loss of your Son, Rich... You honor him in sharing you Love and Joy of Music... Isle of Wight, Live at Leeds and that era are amazing. Keep smiling and sharing!💜☮️✌️😎🎼🎶🎵🎸🌎🔊

[@philging]

I queued all night for tickets to see The Who at the Newcastle Odeon in 1973 - one of the best live concerts I ever saw - incredibly exciting to see them perform on stage.

[@robertlear2735]

I saw The Who in concert about a month before this one in Kansas City , Missouri July 2nd, 1970 They are my favorite live band,

[@Dano_in_Texas]

The Who!! The forefathers of punk. Yet they stayed pure, in their rock n roll. Now...I'm heading over to the website, for my suggestions. 🤘🤘 #feelthemusic

[@paulhabat6338]

You witnessed A moment in Rock History ! Blew me away too ! Legends !

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I was there, and the Bath Festival the same year. It means I've never had to go to another festival again. Hahahahaha

[@kmichaelp4508]

Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha!!!!! You two... I saw them "5" times in my short life.the first in 1970. You can't imagine what it was like then. The loudest show I've ever seen. Period! And I've been to probably 100. No other band outdid them. Greetings from Sebastian Florida.

[@qdog568]

And the man leading all of this, is John Entwistle on bass,, standing nice and calm on the side there.

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

[@1nelsondj]

You can't go wrong with The Who, they were a popular singles band that got into making incredible albums later. All 4 members were incredible, Keith Moon is amazing to watch in old videos, twirling his sticks, tossing them into the air to catch them just in time for the next beat. He was bigger than life with the soul of an imp and the face of an angel.

[@tonybrownson9051]

Young Man Blues Written & recorded by Jazz singer Mose Allison in 1957, A fine song.

[@archimedesscrew3710]

You guys are the best!

[@robertlear9631]

I saw The Who live in July of 1970 about a month before this concert. My favorite live band

[@tonykichenside8443]

How f,ing good are the who live,was lucky to see them live.Brilliant

[@paulhabat6338]

Everyone in the band shows off ! Moon and Entwhisles rythem section kills it ! Add Daltry and Townsends epic guitar paves the road ! Totally EPIC !

[@michaelgross8635]

Just watched it again to catch more of your facial expressions - which were priceless! :-) You asked where the song came from. It's an old blues by Mose Allison that was a staple of early who concert sets. I wouldn't be surprised if they're still doing it on the current tour (just Daltrey and Townshend now, but likely a great band behind them, though nothing compares to Moon and Entwistle. I was a little late in truly appreciating The Who myself. I'd always loved the hits, but seeing them live in '89, '96, and 2000 (especially 2000), plus multiple solo Townshend shows really cemented their reputation for me. You should definitely seek out the rest of the Isle of Wight show, plus the "Live at Leeds" album (make sure it's the remastered version which has more than twice as much music as the original single-vinyl album). Their performance at the Concert for NY (just after 9/11) was not perfect, but quite powerful. So much #who to recommend. Email me, my friends. I've got stories. :-)

[@CrossEyedFreak]

Pure Awesome!

[@BernardWilkinson]

You know what. This is one of my favourite videos on KZbin. Not the "Young Man Blues" but this actual live reaction. The look on your face is what I imagine my face must look like when I listen to "The Isle of Wight". It is like a bomb going off. It is incendry and still incredible after I have watched it for a millionth time. I have never seen a better rock performance than this.

[@bluesmike1]

I just love you guys! Love the reactions...This is all the music I grew up with. Keep up the great show.

[@jayedilts8612]

That was wicked... first time I’ve ever seen that as well! Thanks for your awesome reaction!

[@steve9199]

Seeing you experience all of these bands for the first time is fantastic!! Don't be too angry about missing out when you were younger though Kel.... if you had experienced these bands when you were a kid, you might not appreciate it as much as you do now. I grew up listening to all of these bands, and sometimes I am guilty of taking them for granted.

[@raydotzler9117]

In 1970 The Who were on 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jonnno2439]

Thanks for playing this. I was at the Isle Of Wight festival in 1969, and they played Young Man Blues, along with about 20 more songs. And it was SO good.

[@marinman3551]

"Nobody kicks you up the arse like the Who live"......Mick Jaggers words and he knows a thing or two about performing

[@MrUndersolo]

My favourite reactors! Kel, you still with that dude? Seriously, I understand how you feel when you hear this and wonder about what you were taught. They told us what not to listen to, so I kept a list and played it when I could. Don’t let them get you down... Anyway, this is one of my favourites and I am glad to see it here!

[@bostonwhofan]

This performance by The Who is off the charts INCREDIBLE.......but I'm so sad to hear about the passing of your son. My sincere condolences. Thanks for all the great reaction video's from you and Kel!

I remember this from "Who Live at Leeds". I know this is a different show, but that's where I first hear this song. That album was GREAT!!!

[@TM-qj6io]

Listening to the greatest of them all.

[@TM-qj6io]

no argument here!

[@TheWorldofGood79]

Hi Kel-n-Rich, I have really enjoyed watching many of your reaction videos, thanks for sharing them with us. Young Man's Blues is an old Mose Allison song that Pete really liked. The Who really are unique, and the late great Gary Moore once said after coming out of a Who concert as a 14 year old in Belfast in 1966 that after seeing The Who he felt like he had been in a fight! And he said that The Who were the first punk band and I think he summed them up pretty well? Do check out The Who's 1975 album Who By Numbers, it is a largely forgotten hidden gem, and has some incredible songs on it.

[@mrsdmd]

Wow memories, seems like yesterday being at the Isle of wight festival that weekend, it was just amazing. Really lucky to live so near the Island and able to see all the amazing bands of this time, one of course was Jimi Hendrix. The Who were amazing.

Love The Who! ❤️ New song for me too! Thanks Michael ✌️🤘❤️

[@hmsljj]

The Who at their prime. Townsend called it their "glory years". I was fortunate to be able to see the band a year before Moonie passed away. Such a memorable outdoor concert (it was just The Who and The Grateful Dead) and they both kicked ass in their respective ways. I really appreciate you paying tribute to them. I also recommend you check out some their tunes from the Woodstock concert such as "Pinball Wizard". Thanks again.

[@leegoodison]

Lucky you.

Actually this whole concert if "off the charts" awesome!!! I, myself, only found it about 7 years ago. I've always heard of The Who.... Knew 'some' songs. But, to watch them play live (at least here at Isle of Wight)…. It's amazing!

[@robthornton6288]

🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant reaction from you both 👏👏👏 I'd forgotten just how good the Isle of Wight concert was. I was lucky enough to see them 4 times live in the late 70s and early 80s .... best live band of all time.

Yo. Rich. What a fab present for your wife... Transformational! And a pleasure for your viewers watching her transform :-)

its a shame that you dont see John Entwisle in the video

[@inkjob12]

This is one of the main reasons I like being my age....that I was able to see ALL these bands live in there hey day. Having grown up in the San Fran Bay Area when Bill Graham was around, and living through the summer of love...I saw some AMAZING shows. The Fillmore, Winterland, Days on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum....and back then shows were cheap. Keep on ROCKING !!!

[@NimaRafiei86]

Loved this! You should both do a review/reaction of The Who's "Young Man Blues" from the Young Vic show in 1971. It's the most kick-ass, in your face version. The Who took to the stage and showed no mercy and took no prisoners in that performance

[@shawnc666]

Ok Kel, I agreed with you before when you said that videos can be distracting to the music itself....and as I said I agreed. "BUT", in videos like this, live videos that actually show the musicians playing their instruments, this is a different story...Especially watching Keith Moon.....Duuuuuude!!!!!!

I saw them, guys...March 1976 at the old Boston Garden in Boston, MA (2 songs, then Keith passed out), and after that, the make-up show in April. Unforgettable. If you want another Who tune, check out "The Rock" from their 1973 album Quadrophenia. The best instrumental in the history of rock and roll in my opinion.

[@martyhopkirk6826]

I’ve watched this footage so many times over the years. It really is The Who at their best. The clip kind of makes you wonder why any other band even bothered getting on stage in those days.
