when they filmed this in 1978, Ridley Scott was Fiming 'Alien' next door, in Shepperton on the bond stage. The Who possessed the only blue industrial laser in the country at the time as they were quite big machines, They lent their laser to Ridley and that same laser is the blue mist covering the eggs in the film
The" quiet" Entwistle is at the bass!!! This performance at the Shepperton Studios 1978 is mythical ! They were known for breaking their instruments and playing with the most powerful sound! This is Keith Moon's last appearance with The Who... It was in 1967, at the "Holiday Inn" in Flint; Michigan, after a "wild party" for his 21st birthday, that Keith Moon drove his car into the pool!😢
They were way ahead of everyone else at this time including Zeppelin who I saw many times and who never showed the intensity of the Who in live performance.The Who reigned.They were also the loudest band I have ever seen but the sound was clear and sharp.Great stuff,great rimes!
THANKS RORY.....if i knew you recorded a album @Shepperton studios, i would've requested this video sooner (cool AF) 9:45 fucking epic Pete Townsend jumps up &slides on his knees.Splits his pants in the process. Rock at its best❤ 😎
Working class heroes, pissed off at every one and every thing, hated the system and the Monarchy and not one single fuck to be given the entire time; The Who were Proto-Punk, whether Punk wants to admit it or not
Something cool about this gig is, a young Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders was in the audience. Another cool thing about this gig: the film Alien was being filmed in the studio next door. The cast and crew of Alien went over to watch the performance by The Who. They were so impressed by the laser show at the end of WGFA that they borrowed the laser equipment from The Who and used it in the Alien film. So next time you watch Alien, be sure to keep an eye out for The Who's lasers.
@@r423sdex disco changed alot of things then 90s music with the dubstep scene and techno got all fucked up. I think technology had a lot to do with it too. All well
In 60s and 70s a lot of bands had crazy (but good) stage act (or look) hendrix, zeppelin, crazy world arthur brown, Rory Gallagher, etc never see their like again. 😪
This might be one of those "misunderstood lyrics" moments for you, but the line is actually: "For I know that the hypnotized never lie....................................DO ya?"
Legend has it that this is the 3rd take on this song. The director was unhappy with the first and second takes, He asked Pete to be more animated. Pete was pissed off at having to do it again and went over the top this time.
Rory, to really appreciate The Who at their peak, you need to go back 8-9 years from that performance and check out "Young Man Blues" from the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970 or anything from Woodstock or the London Colosseum in 1969. They are relentless.
There's no mistaking The Who. No question mark after their name, unless it's a comedy bit! No one COULD be mistaken for them, so unique and powerful and Ablaze with Rock they were! Love your understated "I'm guessin' that's got to be the end of their set, then" comment, lol! Since I hadn't seen it in your playlist, I'd been jonesing for you to react to this iconic song. Then u said u already knew it, but that this killer live version was new to you, so: COOL!
The Shepperton show was done because they didn't have concert footage of Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again which they were happy enough with to be in The Kids Are Alright film. They were asked to play WGFA again because the first take wasn't energetic enough. The band wasn't happy about this and their reaction to that request was this performance.
Just a couple things about Ringo on bass... aka John Entwistle, voted bassist of the millennium. He potentially contributed more to the live who sound than any other member and was a true pioneer of the instrument. There is an isolated bass video of this performance and is worth checking out if you want to see the work the man is putting in. He actually did tour with Ringo's all-star band and there are some exceptional videos!
Coke is a good possibility for Townsend, he started taking acid in '67, and quit the same year after a big dose got to him. He also is the genius who wrote the music, and programmed and wired the synths to make the unique backdrops of Baba and Fooled, so he's also getting off on the music that was his vision. Search TH-cam for how he did it, IIRC, he had a wall of individual synth modules he connected with wires like an antique phone switchboard to add each effect. Oh, and Moon on the drums is wearing headphones that allow him to stay in time with Townsend's synth parts, which had to be recorded ahead of time so he could play guitar live.
Pete was so hyped in this performance because it was filmed for the rock movie 'The Kids are Alright' and the director wasn't happy with the previous take - not enough energy or something. So Townshend reluctantly came came out for take two and made sure there wouldn't be a third by going well over the top in every way.
great reaction, please react to another great song of the who called "baby don't you do it" (deluxe version) from the album Who's Next, believe me, you are gonna get crazy man!!! you can be the first to react it because nobody wants i don't know why
The man playing bass guitar is considered one of the greatest bass guitarist whoever lived!!! I'm not saying that.the music industry are the ones that are saying that. Show some respect. His name is John entwistle. you are watching one of the greatest legends play his ass off on bass guitar
Who…..sorry about the pun…….playing the keyboards…..I guess the 🎹 isn’t live….Queen does the same thing in their so called live shows….for example Bohemian Rhapsody…..

I had the same sweater shirt as Daltrey back in 1977 when I was in the 7th grade LOL!!
giggle.....giggle😂

This is Keith Moon's last appearance with The Who...
It was in 1967, at the "Holiday Inn" in Flint; Michigan, after a "wild party" for his 21st birthday, that Keith Moon drove his car into the pool!😢
he probably did it a few times by the sounds of it !!
We could write an encyclopedia on all stories involving Keith Moon,everything is possible...
I saw them in 1971 promoting this album, Wishbone Ash opened. Jim
They were way ahead of everyone else at this time including Zeppelin who I saw many times and who never showed the intensity of the Who in live performance.The Who reigned.They were also the loudest band I have ever seen but the sound was clear and sharp.Great stuff,great rimes!

Working class heroes, pissed off at every one and every thing, hated the system and the Monarchy and not one single fuck to be given the entire time; The Who were Proto-Punk, whether Punk wants to admit it or not
Many punk bands were very influenced by the early Who. They were considered the grandfathers of punk.
Something cool about this gig is, a young Chrissie Hynde from the Pretenders was in the audience. Another cool thing about this gig: the film Alien was being filmed in the studio next door. The cast and crew of Alien went over to watch the performance by The Who. They were so impressed by the laser show at the end of WGFA that they borrowed the laser equipment from The Who and used it in the Alien film. So next time you watch Alien, be sure to keep an eye out for The Who's lasers.
It was Moon's last performance. He tried to knock the drums over at the end but they were nailed into the floor.
The lasers were used in the movie Alien. Which filmed in the area at the same time this was shot.
I think thats what music is supposed to be like
Yea, where did it all go wrong. These bands were so creative and full of passion.
@@r423sdex disco changed alot of things then 90s music with the dubstep scene and techno got all fucked up. I think technology had a lot to do with it too. All well
I Just love all the body excitement ❤😊
John Entwhistle on bass! One of the greatest bass players of all time.
I love The Who they have some great tunes!!!
In 60s and 70s a lot of bands had crazy (but good) stage act (or look) hendrix, zeppelin, crazy world arthur brown, Rory Gallagher, etc never see their like again. 😪
John Entwistle (The Ox) on bass. "The hypnotized never die; Do Ya" and "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Great performance.
This might be one of those "misunderstood lyrics" moments for you, but the line is actually: "For I know that the hypnotized never lie....................................DO ya?"
@@bostonwhofan yep
The Who owned Shepperton Studios at the time.
Rock in roll!!🔥🔥🔥
Legend has it that this is the 3rd take on this song. The director was unhappy with the first and second takes, He asked Pete to be more animated. Pete was pissed off at having to do it again and went over the top this time.
I can dig it / thanks R-man
John Entwistle the bassist once said that he was a babysitter of 3 unruly tottlers.
toddlers.

AMEN!!!
you've recorded an album in shepperton studios? you freakin' legend... what was the album?
John Entwistle on bass
Pete an Keith got my vote 🎉😅
Pete Townshend--Give Blood
This should be the anthem for everyone who hates politicians
Pete's look at 5:59 ... "I'm 33 and still doin it!"

Just how you want a rock band to deliver

Pete Townsend can sing also, Pete Townshend and Ronnie Lane Rough Mix is Very good 🤘
