[@wasup8264]

@@mattnlogan101 any other entwhistle bassline is a totally different story lmao

[@davidacevedo8620]

You know, the bass player is not the showman in the band, but no doubt he did his job excellently, his bass playing has been impeccable thru the ages and I'd say he has a lot to do with the success of the band as a whole, and I guess the only one that isn't gesturing and jumping around. Roger, well, imagine Queen without Freddy, that's what Roger is to the band. Pete, the songwriter and along with Keith the eyecatchers of the group, no doubt. I admit, I have rediscovered the band, didn't know much about it until "Who Are You" back in the middle seventies, but watching their videos I recognized the sound at the beginning and since it has stuck to my mind. Keith Moon, well, Keith is a big powerhouse in the band, I have always liked his style of drumming, which reminded me of a video I was watching of Rush, "Tom Sawyer" and in one of the sudden glances at the band drummer I saw this guy that very much looked like Keith and asked myself if it was possible that Rush's recording was before Moon's passing because this guy played, drummed very similar to Moon, and of course Googled it. Come the discussion about the proverbial egg or chicken first appearance, since these two musicians play, to my understanding, very much alike. Who found who? Who cares, what I care is the both, Neil Peart and Keith Moon have easily been a big part of the band successes. It is a shame they both passed away. I can't imagine any of the bands without them, although both drummers were of course replaced. Baba O'Riley is one of them anthems for The Who, a band that was discovered by the 90's generation by the CSI Miami theme song, whoever made that choice of using The Who song made a great choice, the people from that decade who grew up watching Caruso and the show now know The Who has been making great music since the early 70's. The Who is a great band, even without Moon. Now I rest my case.

[@johndavis1217]

@@davidacevedo8620 Peart and Who, easily in the top three of rock drummers. Geddy Lee and Entwistle easily in the top three bassist. Alex and Towshend are two overlooked guitarist.

Between John and his thunder fingers and Keith being all over the place actually it was Pete and his prefect timing that kept the band in time. Maybe not on this song per say but normally it was just that way.

[@forestfeet5769]

This is unique for its time because the synth loop doesn't allow for any tempo fluctuation which is why Keith is wearing headphones here. Nowadays most big acts have all members wearing in ear monitors and are playing to backing tracks with a click. This particular song is sort of an early precursor to that method. The Wall live performances by Pink Floyd are an even better example because everything had to sync up with the on screen projections and continuity between songs.

[@geofreyr]

Is that right - is that the role of the bassist? (fascinating to me because I have studied on a tiny bit of music comprising of only level 1 theory), but have no idea about practical stuff like that, it's really interesting!

This (this performance in particular) is THE best version of Baba O' Reily they ever recorded--it equals if not tops the studio version. This is from the Kilburn 1978 performance--one of Moon's last. they did two shows that day, with nearly identicle set lists. this particular one from the kids are allright differs from the DVD release, but it is very similar--but its better, that's my point

[@pulsarlights2825]

Is it live or did they overdub it a little? I do agree, it's my favorite version, even better then "Who's Next". However "Won't Get Fooled Again" is better on "Who's Next" compared to the Shepperton versions....

[@robertkees6048]

Clearly this is not from Kilburn which was filmed in 1977 and Keith Moon wore a purple sparkle stage outfit. This is from 1978 at Sheperton Studio, and if you notice every member of the group is wearing the same outfit as Kilburn other than Keith Moon, who could no longer fit into that outfit cause he'd gained too much weight.

[@Smedley1947]

He does not sing the line as "Sally take my hand we'll travel south 'cross land" as everyone seems to think they do as it appears in various lyrics sites on Google. He is saying what I've always known he said because I have a degree in English literature from 50 years ago( and also also a degree in chemistry just for fun)- and the term star-crossed lovers looms large in poetry from the past. So it's only natural that a poet such as Pete Townsend would know that, as we are essentially the same age. And that's why he wrote the lyrics as : Sally take my hand We'll travel Star-Crossed lands Go ahead slow the video down down and listen. Anyway now that I got that off my chest, I want to say that Baba O'Riley is probably my favorite Who song❗❗⚡⚡ It is so goddamn energetic I cannot sit still when I hear it even though I be 76.

About a year later I was in the bar with some "2nd division roady" friends at the Warren Lodge one night (a very small hotel opposite The Anchor owned by the same guy) in walks Roger Daltrey who had had his head shaved for the part in the movie McVicar they had been filming at Pinewood (I think).

The greatest band ever to walk the planet. Live at Leeds - best live rock album ever recorded. Saw the original four play three times in the 70s, never to be forgotten.

[@DougMcDave]

This sounds amazing. Love the bass! Moon died in 1978, so this is a 1978 presentation.

[@johnthonig1692]

Yep

wow 1979, they brought keith back from the dead ?

Keith was a shadow of his former self at this point. Sad. Not nearly as lively as the Who's Next version.

I waited in line to get a wristband and scored tickets to see the Who at Giants Stadium in the Meadowlands back in '89 and it was a life changing experience. People camped out and partied for 3 days in the parking lot!

[@caravaggio31]

A miracle on KZbin. Moon died in 1978 but hes here playing in 1979 .........

[@neillevine511]

That was my thought. LOL.

[@JamesWalshBristolKids]

I think this is from the film The Kids Are Alright - may have been released in theatres in August 1979

Also if ya dig and enjoyed this video by The Who 😀 you may also enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. Also I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and a good question to ask yourself if you were to die today would you go to heaven ? And if yes why ? To find out more please read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on KZbin. 😀

[@wyattblackwood3927]

Sad to say but the Golden Age of rock and roll is long gone and bands like this, Led Zeppelin and all of those other fantastic artists of the 70s will never be seen again. All these guys were Rock royalty !!

[@bluesman0903]

Can't disagree with that, am so glad I lived in this great time of rock, 70's was a fine time to be alive.

Not many times in our lives is there a band that just is perfect with not only their music and great songs but with the members. It’s very safe to say The Who in this video proves that! Keith Moon,Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle,and Pete Townsend were the best in their day!…… not the Beatles, not the Stones..somewhere maybe in between but definitely a great band! Thank them for the music. It will live on as long as we remember.
