How many roads did these boys pave for the musicians that followed? They paid it so far forward, that the musical debt to The Who, will never be repaid. Perfect legacy! Waste us baby!
I remember my Dad introducing this fine tune into my life many years ago and it still stands the rest of time. The best intro, bridge and outro to any song! It resonates and makes the hairs on my neck stand on end every time I hear it.
I was there. And it was as good as it looks. Nigel Kennedy just looked like he was having a ball, amazing performance. I showed this to some friends on dvd and they got up cheered at the end.
100 years from now they will still be genius and this will still be the greatest teenage angst anthem ! Lord almighty the Brits sure owned the world of my music for the better part of my life!
4:35 eargasm when john plays that incredibly fast bass line that almost sounds like a piano thrill along with the violin doing the same thing. incredible musicianship
Bloody good! I had no idea how Zack was literally having to transpose Keith Bloody Moon and just note for note, every little off hit, still keeping a tight pocket for John... Bloody hell... Amazing!
OK,@@davmil2002: I really loved how she played the violin almost note-for-note as it was originally recorded on the album. I absolutely dug the discipline in doing that. Not much creativity, but she nailed it. That being said - Kennedy's was epic. Almost maniacal as if Keith Moon was playing the instrument himself. Loved her's, Kennedy's was better. Thanks for the link, David!
The master says the greatest rock song is not really that tough of a call if you specify the metrics (pure sales count, money counts, world wide charts, genre specificity, etc.). If you were asked what is the greatest song (any genre) by pure sales count on a single (45, EP, one track digital, etc.), the answer is clear. Can you guess? Same question for the greatest "rock" song same metrics. Can you guess?
"Easy to say it at the time and in the moment my master says. Wasn't it Jerry Garcia who was at a Cream concert and was asked if Cream was the best band he ever heard, to which he replied "Tonight They Are""
O que é isso mané ??? .... The Who !!! Rock Clássico . Nos vocais Roger Daltrey, o mesmo da Ópera Rock " Tommy " . E com a presença de outro Monstro da Guitarra Pete Townshend.
My entire childhood, my dad played this for my little brother and me constantly. By the time I was eight, I would yell out "Fuck off!" right with Pete Townshend. Thanks, Dad!
Glad you came around...."welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here....." My fav is the live version of "Water", but this is a timeless classic for sure.
For those who may not be aware, that's Zac Starkey on drums - the son of the legendary Ringo Starr! As a child, Zac's first drum kit was a gift from his dad's good friend ... Bill Moon!
man so many people say that the who are too old to play this song,but the're not. it shows that they understand what we go thru and that because the have gotten older it doesn't mean that they can't except us to do what they once did
This song is an anthem, a hymn to a generation that deserved to be criticized for pursuing false ideologies, the who wrote one of the greatest songs ever. God bless The Who
I've been obsessively listening to covers of Baba O'Riley and now that I've heard this version, I have to say that it took an older Who to come close to the performance by the younger Who.

quite possibly the greatest rock song ever writtenn
Would be hard to say that, but definitely a contender.
agreed!!
one of, yes
I was just thinking the same thing...
Quite possibly "The Best Song" ever written.... period!!!!! and this is my favorite recorded live performance of it!!!
Seeing John Entwhistle here just breaks my heart. RIP Moose.
They called him The Ox, not Moose.
@@bobsmith6543 Yes sir. You are correct. My mistake.
why, did you know him?
Awesome as always!!! The violinist tore it up and gave Pete a good run for his money. Awesome!!!! One of the best songs ever!!!
Roger Daltrey looks DAMN GOOD for being 56 years old in 2000~ man o man. woooeeee. oldies but goodies.
He looks pretty damn good for 80 years old now days.
"I hope I die before I get old" - He's alive, so he can't be old!
This may be the best live recording I've ever heard.
Then you haven't listened to their 70's stuffs-
It’s great but check out David Byrnes Houses in Motion from Paris.
Baba O Riley live 1978 sounds better imo, what do you think?
ack1961 ...fuck yeah
Sin dudas
That was literally the best live song I've ever seen
As fucking incredible as Entwhistle is, he never ever hogs the spotlight he so readily deserves
He’s too cool for spotlights 🎸
Entwistle*
There were plenty of people banging around onstage already. He was busy :)
@@user-lq6bv1qs3s Best Bass player of all time

Cameron Rangan but he died in 2007
Jhon entwistle
Sooo badass. Every time I hear this song, it melts my soul...and my face.
This is awesome............Best live performance of Baba O' Riley I've heard! The WHO!
100% Agree, I thought the exact same thing the first time I heard it
I remember my Dad introducing this fine tune into my life many years ago and it still stands the rest of time. The best intro, bridge and outro to any song! It resonates and makes the hairs on my neck stand on end every time I hear it.
Nigel Kennedy's killer performance....AMAZING.
I was there. And it was as good as it looks. Nigel Kennedy just looked like he was having a ball, amazing performance. I showed this to some friends on dvd and they got up cheered at the end.
The sound mix guy was a Who fan...obviously
Kudos to him.
Happy 50th anniversary to Baba O'Riley and the album Who's Next! Can't belive it's been this long
This song is such a masterpiece it really brings tears to my eyes it's that amazing.
This is an A1 track ,you can't beat [ BABA O' RILEY ] by the Fantastic , Excellent [ WHO ]. ROB.
2:35 "FUCK OFF!" hahahah
He is an amazing men!!!!! :-):-)
+ege1993 Loool I didn't notice before xD
ege1993 omg lol
Goodness me....when Nigel started playing I started crying....respect...wonderful stuff...
I was there. and I still do when i watch it 23 years later.
One of THE most iconic and brilliant intros ever. Fantastic track. A sirloin steak of prime rock
The who will always be amongst the greats. Fantastic song and must I even mention the violinist?? The performance was amazing!!
100 years from now they will still be genius and this will still be the greatest teenage angst anthem ! Lord almighty the Brits sure owned the world of my music for the better part of my life!
John Entwistle and Keith Moon,we miss you!
The Who. MY Dad damn Loves this Band. Me too. They are so Great. Amazing. Fantastic.
This is insanely AWESOME!
The Sound is excellent...and mixing!!🔊🎛A gem💎🎶
4:35 eargasm when john plays that incredibly fast bass line that almost sounds like a piano thrill along with the violin doing the same thing. incredible musicianship
I fucking love Roger Daltrey!
The Who and The Stones Forever!!!!
One of the greatest classic rock songs ever written. This is in my top three of all time great songs.
Bloody good!
I had no idea how Zack was literally having to transpose Keith Bloody Moon and just note for note, every little off hit, still keeping a tight pocket for John...
Bloody hell...
Amazing!
Unless there's another live performance with the violin/viola (and I'm sure there has to be):
Best
Rendition
EVER.
Dr. Fritz Fassbender well, there wasn’t another one until the current who tour, but this one still stands as very good.

What a great song and performance!

50 years on,same energy levels,throughout!
Did I hear Pete scream fuck off at the top of his lungs after his bridge, fucking brilliant
Beautiful performance.
My brothers favourite band of all time. Sadly died in 2015 played at is funeral and behind blue eyes and my generation.
Possibly the greatest rock & roll song of all time.....certainly the most musical,
3:35 Love Daltrey's roar on this song... "THEY'RE ALL WASTED!!!"
Great performance with Nigel Kennedy.
One of the best "endings" of any tune ever performed...perfectly timed...with help from Zack and his excellent percussion work.
That is so so incredibly awesome!! Wow. The Who are Titans of Rock!
The fact that Pete Townsend just went "fuck it - we'll end it with a fiddle solo" just proves that this is the greatest rock song ever written.
Sensacional
"Easy to say it at the time and in the moment my master says. Wasn't it Jerry Garcia who was at a Cream concert and was asked if Cream was the best band he ever heard, to which he replied "Tonight They Are""
Love this Song ....heard it firs in House M.D. did not Know that it was written by theWho ...I wish i was born earlier ......

O que é isso mané ??? .... The Who !!! Rock Clássico . Nos vocais Roger Daltrey, o mesmo da Ópera Rock " Tommy " . E com a presença de outro Monstro da Guitarra Pete Townshend.

THE WHO -- we're a legend !
For me one of the best from THE WHO!!!!
Fantastic vid! Nigel Kennedy burns it down :-)
My entire childhood, my dad played this for my little brother and me constantly. By the time I was eight, I would yell out "Fuck off!" right with Pete Townshend. Thanks, Dad!
if you are of a certain age there will never be a better band.
Violin in flames!!! WTF!!! ;)

Just Amazing! Love The Who! ❤️🙏❤️😎🎯♂️☮️🛵🎸
Glad you came around...."welcome to the camp, I guess you all know why we're here....." My fav is the live version of "Water", but this is a timeless classic for sure.
I would love to rock out with these old guys
Bloody hell, that's absolutely dynamic!! Thanks so much
I just love this song so much. Brilliant to hear them play it during the closing ceremony.
The Who's best song.
Mireya Crespo Moruno and probably their #1, too.
If that is not the wildest violin solo ever in a rock song I dont know what is
Incredible!!!
For those who may not be aware, that's Zac Starkey on drums - the son of the legendary Ringo Starr! As a child, Zac's first drum kit was a gift from his dad's good friend
... Bill Moon!
Amazing performance !!

MASTER PIECE!!! For Ever...
Holy crap. That was awesome.
These are the Gods of Mount Who-lympus. Long live The Who. Long live pure rock and roll,

Cackling Crow g
I know.....Right?
Why?
the violin solo at the end is just poetry
Breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!
amazing performance!!!
Magnificent... especially bringing in Kennedy!
My favourite live version of this Anthem....Kennedy superb too.
Another priceless tune ☺️ ausome band 👍.
Damn that brings back good times. I kept an old, wore out 8 track tape of Who's Next.
@ddenuci Why on earth would you wish to see the synthesizer being played? Anyway, Pete always keeps it in his pocket. He never takes it out.
man so many people say that the who are too old to play this song,but the're not. it shows that they understand what we go thru and that because the have gotten older it doesn't mean that they can't except us to do what they once did
The guys are already this old and they still get this much into the music's theme and exctimetent. Thats what we need at music, at all times.
The legendary The Who and Nigel Kennedy, the great violinist. 🙂
Spellbinding. But its the who after all. Incredible tune and band.
You're so right! :D I'm watchin CSI too and I love the song!
W!ow! Go for it Nigel
This song is an anthem, a hymn to a generation that deserved to be criticized for pursuing false ideologies, the who wrote one of the greatest songs ever. God bless The Who

great music never dies.
The best for ever
There's only two things in the world that will diversify the planet,its great performances like this and good food cuisine.
Pure class, say no more.
Aquele som que é uma obra prima.... Sensacional ♥
