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.
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 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!
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
![The Who - Baba O'Reily -- In [High Definition] HD! -1979 - The Kids Are Alright](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/kX-bVeojLEA/mqdefault.jpg)
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?
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 :)
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
How can anyone possibly DISLIKE this video?
+Jason Bellucci
They're IDIOTS :)))))
+Jason Bellucci Deaf people probably
*****
Cheers! Absolutely !! :)
ikr
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.
2:35 "FUCK OFF!" hahahah
He is an amazing men!!!!! :-):-)
+ege1993 Loool I didn't notice before xD

This is awesome............Best live performance of Baba O' Riley I've heard! The WHO!
The Who and The Stones Forever!!!!
Awesome as always!!! The violinist tore it up and gave Pete a good run for his money. Awesome!!!! One of the best songs ever!!!
Happy 50th anniversary to Baba O'Riley and the album Who's Next! Can't belive it's been this long
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.
One of THE most iconic and brilliant intros ever. Fantastic track. A sirloin steak of prime rock
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
The Who. MY Dad damn Loves this Band. Me too. They are so Great. Amazing. Fantastic.
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.
This song is such a masterpiece it really brings tears to my eyes it's that amazing.
John Entwistle and Keith Moon,we miss you!
The sound mix guy was a Who fan...obviously
Kudos to him.
I fucking love Roger Daltrey!
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 who will always be amongst the greats. Fantastic song and must I even mention the violinist?? The performance was amazing!!
3:35 Love Daltrey's roar on this song... "THEY'RE ALL WASTED!!!"
Great performance with Nigel Kennedy.
This is an A1 track ,you can't beat [ BABA O' RILEY ] by the Fantastic , Excellent [ WHO ]. ROB.
This is insanely AWESOME!
Possibly the greatest rock & roll song of all time.....certainly the most musical,
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!
Great! just great!
Did I hear Pete scream fuck off at the top of his lungs after his bridge, fucking brilliant
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!
Great Song Ever !
Miss you, thunder-fingers.
50 years on,same energy levels,throughout!
The Who's best song.
Mireya Crespo Moruno and probably their #1, too.
if you are of a certain age there will never be a better band.
For me one of the best from THE WHO!!!!
best band ever and maybe the best tune ever , oh yes . its only teenage , nigel wow
I would love to rock out with these old guys
I was waiting for that violin to catch fire!
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.

One of the greatest classic rock songs ever written. This is in my top three of all time great songs.

Violinist just melted those strings off. Awesome.
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 brothers favourite band of all time. Sadly died in 2015 played at is funeral and behind blue eyes and my generation.
Best Song Ever! OMG
great music never dies.
Goosebumps when the drummer came in!
The Who are timeless
This song will go down in history
Goodness, the energy going from them, the passion, it's amazing. The guys really turn inside out for their fans and open their hearts.
If that is not the wildest violin solo ever in a rock song I dont know what is
I just love this song so much. Brilliant to hear them play it during the closing ceremony.
Best song ever !
Holy crap. That was awesome.
Magnificent... especially bringing in Kennedy!
W!ow! Go for it Nigel
My favourite live version of this Anthem....Kennedy superb too.
Amazing performance !!
Damn that brings back good times. I kept an old, wore out 8 track tape of Who's Next.
Pete's screams "ROGER!" it's really awesome: the Who really rocks!
Fantastic vid! Nigel Kennedy burns it down :-)
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!
Pete's windmill is always epic.
Excellent. Mr. Kennedy looked like he'd just stepped in from a spot of gardening! Top geezer
amazing performance!!!

2:35 ''FUCK OFF!!!!!!!''
I love the who, but this is my favourite song by them!!!
Zach kills it.
