The Who - Young Man Blues (LIVE) | REACTION (Isle of Wight Festival, 1970)

[@boboquisp]

Keith Moon on drums. Legend.

[@janlis001]

Keith Moon!!! Best drummer of all time!!!

[@babyshambler]

"I don't know who that drummer is..." Oh my mate, you have a deep deep dive ahead of you =]

[@dellafenton2417]

I'm sure he'll enjoy the journey, The Who have to be the greatest live band!

[@g.e.5723]

Keith keeps his eyes constantly on Pete. Interaction is phenomenal.

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Pete guided keith with signals.

[@dailyflash]

Because Entwistle is usually playing solo bass. Pete is the rhythmic one.

[@tonyhemphill5366]

Yeah and Keith just watched Pete and played too the guitar instead of the bass but this is what made them a great band 4 leads in one band, the best live rock band I have ever seen, saw them twice once in 76 and sadly without Keith in 81

[@halcyon289]

Keith Moon is the legend on the kit. No hi hats either !

[@jeanpierrebutel6794]

i was there

[@joestrummer32]

The only band with 4 frontmen....

[@joeslish-p1p]

cream with 3 front men

[@brianshockledge3241]

This group blew Led Zep off the stage at Columbia `69. Robert Plant said this was the greatest live band he ever saw.

[@paulrusso1120]

Yep, Zeppelin couldn't even come close to The Who live.

[@brianeardley1329]

I was there also. Not in the same league.

[@profjohnfrinks]

John Entwistle and Chris Squire often fought for the title of the best bass player. John won out, being voted bassist of the millennium. I cherish them both but John will always be the best, to me. A true pioneer of his instrument.

[@davidcrawford5655]

I've been playing bass since the mid 60's and they're my two biggest influences!!

[@jamespritchett-q7m]

they didn't start there set until 2 am. played till almost 5am.

[@brucemcintosh5898]

Hey man. That's probably the greatest live performance of any rock group in history.

[@Delilah70]

That's what I said somewhere. Definitely!

[@rogerdaltrey7111]

Typical night for The Who 1968-1976

[@garyscharf9232]

If you liked that one My Generation from their Live at Leeds album is a must. NO band played with as much raw power and energy back then.

[@cherylcalhoun6384]

Glad the youngster appreciates this!!! Makes me happy:)

[@clifton8929]

This was over 50-plus years ago - rock & roll performances like this don't exist anymore. Pete Townshend co-founder, leader, and guitarist for The Who, started the arm-swinging power chord moves; Keith Moon is a drumming Icon, John Entwistle a Rock Bass innovator; and Daltrey Singing - they all played Lead. Amazing band. Legends.

[@Johnny67557]

The Who was a curious blend of pop / glam / metal / punk. Before those terms were being used! They were known for the improv performances.

[@davidobrien3600]

First time I've ever seen you bro. You just popped up here on KZbin for me with "Young Man Blues" live so I'm going to subscribe and I'm going to hope and pray that you play more of The Who. Known by so many as the greatest band ever

[@bowbutter7608]

I was lucky enough to see them in 70s great days great people great memories 🎸🎶👍

[@porker5749]

I just about coughed up a lung...@ the 2:00 minute mark..."I don't know who that drummer is...."

[@mjb0183]

Me too! But get used to it as you get older. Younger people are already unaware of the Beatles.

[@MrThumbs63]

Lead bass and lead drums. The Who is the best band live.

[@johntarnowski9086]

Greatest Rock Band Ever

[@Peejay1966]

Still the greatest live band I've seen.

[@edgarsnake2857]

I saw them 3 times within a few months of this show, They were cataclysmic each time. Love your reaction to one of the great rock bands at their best.

[@g.e.5723]

Now you're talkin'. Yes, THE greatest R&R band ever.

[@chrisbanks5925]

Epic.

[@JohnNielsen-bd5ur]

I just subscribed. I'm not sure why. It was probably because I am a serious Who fan. And also I like your vibe. I'll be watching and maybe a few suggestions and a few critiques. 😎

[@jamescpotter]

Bassist John Entwistle was, in my opinion, the Master instrumentalist in the band.

[@sprezzatura8755]

Legend has it that Keith Moon lived next door to Steve McQueen in Malibu. Keith liked to practice into the wee hours and and Steve McQueen couldn't sleep, banged on Keith's door and almost beat the snot out of him. 😅

[@eirikasbjrnberg8753]

The bassist started as a trumpist and used to play for more together with Townshend as a child . I think it shows

[@Delilah70]

He played French Horn

[@stevel2504]

Pretty well the perfect band in the early 70s

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

Keith Moon was the greatest rock drummer ever. Live, in his prime, there was nothing like him. Holds true to this day. In fact, as a live act, no one ever came close to The Who.

[@ChrisKyle-om5wi]

Drummer and Bassist almost became Lead Zeppelin and came up with the name. Entwistle said (I think in regard to leaving The Who) that it would go down like a Lead Balloon and Moon developed that to Lead Zeppelin.

[@NigelOrmsvik]

The Who invented Metal, end of story 🇬🇧✌️

[@Lemmingadventures]

The first punk band.

[@nostromo526]

“that” drummer. oh the humanity 🙄. at least he won’t be forgotten.

[@mikemuller6810]

Maximum R&B

[@mikemuller6810]

The who 70/71 were dangerous

[@yes_head]

Very cool. You are one of the few young metal guys actually going back to something that pre-dates Black Sabbath or Deep Purple. That drummer is Keith Moon, the anti-christ to every jazz drummer back then. Bill Bruford of Yes had "I Hate Moon" written across his sneakers. Unfortunately for Bill, The Who were a major influence on Peter Banks and Chris Squire! The thing about The Who is they were essentially led by the drummer, with guitar player Pete Townshend playing off of him. It was John Entwistle, the bass player, who was the actual time keeper. If Moon and Townsend went a bit off the rails they'd use Entwistle to get back on track. Great f*cking band, and a bit under-appreciated these days IMO.

[@scottsnyder2726]

The Ox, or John Entwistle, the bassist simply stood and played providing the foundation and sound harmonics that Moon and especially Townshend powered off of. Pete was especially on this day rifting on top of incredible bass lines. Daltrey, Moon always the frenetic drummer performer and Townshend then went off! Such energy! Such power! They were a foundational rock band for so much that came later, whether it be metal, punk or grunge.

[@spiritof6663]

"I don't know who that drummer is..." LOL! Well sir, welcome to the world of Moon The Loon.

[@allanbluzdude]

Written by Mose Allison in 1957. Did The Who ever do a studio version of this?

[@TheMetalJunkie]

Not that I can find

[@bostonwhofan]

Yes, there is a studio version of YMB on their Odds and Sods album.

[@rogerdaltrey7111]

There’s two studio versions but, any live version is much better.

[@blitztim6416]

Moon the loon

[@bostonwhofan]

There is a saying: "Your favorite drummer's favorite drummer is Neil Peart". Neil Peart's favorite drummer was Keith Moon. Also, when asked what his "desert island album" would be, Geddy Lee said "Who's Next" by The Who.

[@g.e.5723]

At your leisure, (not a reaction), you'd enjoy the entire festival.

[@laurentfranco8075]

That is "The" legendary Keith Moon on drums my good man. 🙂

[@matthewcumberland6877]

The kids are alright

[@TheMetalJunkie]

Great song

[@TimSchmidt_art]

"...whatever the drummer's name is?"?!?!??!??

[@pauld.cullenjr.7934]

If you liked that, check out the best live album ever, The Who Live at Leeds, recorded in the same era.

[@ed.z.]

What? Someone never heard of Keith Moon?

[@DIALSQUARE-iv1ie]

You don't know who the F**king Hell Keith Moon is... OMG John Entwistle Greatest Bass guitarist ever.

[@shannonvanpatten8341]

They had the sound of a runaway jet powered freight train

[@christophercasey6775]

With no brakes. Hold on for dear life

[@dominicschaeffer909]

All the times you see that windmill guitar player it’s the same guy- Pete Townshend

[@lupodelupis3672]

They began this set at 2' clock in the morning...there were charged like an electric powerplant at 2 o'clock!! Do you imagine?!😵‍💫😵😜 Who could do the same nowadays? Simply NOBODY

[@matthiasnolte3817]

If you like this one listen to the version fo "Live at Leeds", it´s even better, I think.

[@jacqueline23788]

no pete invented this arm thing and breaking stuff first punk band before punk times friendly rival from hendrix these bad boys from london were on stage since early 60

[@Delilah70]

You must be Canadian!

[@TheMetalJunkie]

yup! lol

[@davidlauter1622]

There will NEVER be another band like this EVER ! All the guitar players of today just wanna show off - They have absolutely no conception of what soul is ! If any of today's punks would have approached Townshend when he was on that stage, he would of kicked their teeth out !!!!!

[@johntarnowski9086]

Pete Townshend king of feedback

[@Rassskle]

I don’t know if Pete Townsend was the first to do the wind mill guitar strum, but he did make it a trade mark of his playing..... as well as smashing up his guitar. Keith Moon on drums also made a personal trade mark of destroying his drum kit and hotel rooms....... keeping the band poor despite their professional success. lol

[@g.e.5723]

Nic, "The Kids Are Alright" is a doc about The Who. You'd enjoy seeing them early on the Smothers Brothers TV show, (it opens the doc). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYuTdJR8atOqaJI

[@peterliolis5482]

The version iive at the London Coliseum was even better ,warch the old stereo version of the doco The Kids are alright .not the 5.1 on the DVD

[@jodythomas2724]

Keith " the loon " Moon

[@theosalvucci8683]

I know this comment is late coming, but I want to say that when you watch this video understand that The Who had toned it down by that time in their career.

[@dieterw1599]

The war keine Band - sie waren ein Orchester.

[@puromichoacan8339]

Suggestion: Led Zeppelin - In my time of dying LIVE at Earl's Court 1975 👇👇👇👇👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/earchWuanMaJj5o

[@brucemcintosh5898]

And Daltrey's voice!! FFS

[@Keith_M00N66]

He didn't know the GENIUS voted best drummer of all time (with Bonzo)... Okay, bye...

[@TheMetalJunkie]

I know right, like WHO even is this guy

[@ohiost2002]

I don’t know who this guy is but he’s clueless! The Who invented heavy metal and punk rock! I feel sorry for him whoever he is. Do your research dude😡

[@davidlauter1622]

What do you mean " especially for 1970 " ? Lol 😂😂😂😂 that statement proves you obviously have no clue about what your talking about !!!!!! Your generation just doesn't get it ! No one can top what was done in the 60s and 70s so just face the facts !!!!!

[@Johnniehaha]

"I don't know who that drummer is'???? Are you for real?
