Yes this song is a masterpiece.

[@MrGb1965]

Fact. It really stands on its own in the band’s catalog.

[@brianjacob8728]

If its good enough for the isle of wight, its good enough for me.

[@BarbarraBay]

its not a masterpiece

[@martinstelter4574]

Can't explain ... how did he get this guitar tone in the studio?!? Pete ... simply the best!

[@Rock-iw7ov]

Best Who song that no one knows about

[@johnbeckham1483]

[@gogoyubari366]

[@paulbur42]

this version is pretty good but those live versions from '70 and '71 are really really good

[@brianjacob8728]

Yup. Naked eye and water live are better than the studio versions.

[@shawntingstad4254]

I personally like the energy and vocals in the studio version better

[@bigl9059]

[@JuanDavidMazueraGrajales]

in my humble opinion I think than baba o'riley is better but this song is awesome

[@steviea427]

Thanks to Nelson Manfella. I never heard studio versions of "Water," "Naked Eye," "Young Man Blues," or "Summertime Blues" before. They are great and I thank you for posting them. BRAVO!

[@Rock-iw7ov]

steviea427 the Studio version of Summertime Blues is also on "The Who Sell Out"

[@fpopee]

The guitars are phenomenal in this

[@MrGb1965]

Only The Who could get away with fourteen unaccompanied bass drum kicks. Fav Who tune.

[@brianjacob8728]

Who held Keith down for that long?

[@MrGb1965]

[@fpopee]

This, the relay, slip kids....let's see action...the real me..... really shows how good this band is

[@DAVINOENTERPRISES]

[@TheBoxfitter]

Gimme some Who, "Wasp Man" too.

[@owlieo.3432]

This song sounds for me like something that Peanuts Gang would enjoy playing ❤️🎯

[@Kelly14UK]

Naked Eye and Water are brilliant. Beyond me why Naked Eye studio wasn't released in '71? I have the live version. Where does Water originate from, too? I don't have it studio wise on my Who's Next, though i have a live one.

[@MrGb1965]

Read somewhere that this was recoded in some session in 1970 (despite the later release date, which might've had to do with it being the B side to 5:15).

[@wylier]

The studio take of "Water" is on the CD version of "Odds and Sods" - a must-have for any Who fan!

[@dicktrickle2644]

They performed Water live at the Isle of Wight Festival. You can find it on KZbin. Extraordinary performance.

[@JOHNWLOUCKS]
