mY gENERATION bLUES. thIS I S GREAT FOOTAGE of a fantastic Who gig. Some of it was used in the Jeff Stein film, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT. I love this blazing rendition of JOIN TOGETHER.. best I ever heard of it live! In fact, I still have a dent in my pants from the first time I watched this jam when I got this dvd about 8 years ago!
THis is a nice copy and should appeal to WHO enthusiasts, and even I will come back to watch it when I need a nice Who-fix to brighten ( or make that BRIGHTON) a shitty day. THis is among the hottest WHO live videotaped material ever. It really doesn't get much better than this shitkickin' vid! Enjoy..J/M.
Why this concert has not fully been released is absolutely absurd.... it's,..beyond the beyond.🤔
The Who could pulverise any other band off of the face of this earth...and this performance proves it!
I was at this concert. It was very cold inside the Silverdome that night as the stadium was still not completely done yet. Parking lot was mud and it took like 4 hours to get out of stadium parking lot with one small two lane road out. What I do remember was how loud The WHO were that night. Supposedly this was the largest amount of sound equipment ever assembled at that time 1975 for a concert. Was like 85k people there. The bathrooms were just barely functional as they had to rush to have the stadium ready for that early December concert. We were about 50 yds from the stage on the main floor. We quickly learned after a few concerts that if you sat in the upper deck the acoustics in The Silverdome were terrible. The concert was great. Elvis played a New Years Even concert 3 weeks later in Dec 1975.
When it comes to kicking ass The Who wrote the book.
No band rocked like The Who. Amazing !
This, I think is one of the premiere performances of The Who. John, Roger, Keith, Pete have hit their stride, are at their prime. Pete and Keith are synchronized, leading and taking the cue from each other. The intensity of Townshend cannot be denied. Incredible.
The Who and Zeppelin live in 75...........The 'Oo absolutely annihilates them. Zep was good at the time but couldn't come close to THIS.
I am glad WHO fans are enjoying this clip. I really do think it might be THE colest clip I have posted here at this channel. It's hard to beat Prime WHO during a heated performance-- and that is what this is, for sure! Prime WHO at their meanest, nastiest, and most delightful--- in particularly good quality, too! This has been getting a lot of hits lately. Thanks for all the nice. enthusiastic comments! Keep 'em coming. J/M.
This version for the tommys final is really one of the best.
Y
I think the fans in the first five rows had their skin scorched from all the energy emanating from the stage....what power! By far the most power rock concerts of the mid 70's
This is proto metal.they are the first
Pete's jamming on this clip was always my favorite part of "The Kids Are Alright" album. This and the "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere" track and the "Sparks" at Woodstock track. Seriously, can a band get any better? I haven't seen any yet. Thanks for this great upload. Made my day!
8:31 ; ) Cannot watch this clip without getting VERY, VERY, emotional!
Who fan or not?!….can anybody watch this and not admit there isn’t a band on the planet that worked harder than these guys giving a live performance😮and looked so good doing it!!!
saw The Who later that month in Bloomington IN...this is Exhibit 'A' proving The Who were, are and always will be the greatest live act in (all of) rock history....
I was as this show. This is the first concert I was at where there was no encore. Strangely, everybody realized very quickly that there wouldn't be one.... the Who had already left everything they had on the stage and it was clear. Amazing show....
bloody hell...apocalyptic guitar!!!
It is amazing that an album 40+ years old is STILL in the regular rotation at most rock radio stations. Quality and authenticity never goes out of style.
BLOODY HELL THIS IS WHAT I CALL CLASSIC R&B INTO THE BONE..
One of the best concerts of the Who. This concert, Charlton 1974, and Woodstock. Ive learned this medley note for note on guitar. I love pete Townshend's guitar playing. I even bought a gold top les paul and put a number 2 sticker on it. Pete Townshend is my guitar hero!
I remember reading about how this show set an attendance record in Michigan in '75.
Something like 75,000 people were there.
This truly leaves me breathless. This is rock and roll. Nothing can top this. NOTHING.
I was at their concert at the Spectrum in Philadelphia on December 15th, 1975. What an incredible performance. Their rendition of Won't Get Fooled Again was so powerful!!! They showed multi colored laser lights on the Spectrum roof and then after the synthesizer solo, the brightest white light appears showing Daltry screaming at the edge of the stage. The crowd went nuts. What power with only three instruments being played. Long live The Who!!!!
@markknebel8923 I was too young in “75” but I loved reading about you’re experience at the Spectrum👍But I did catch The WHO in “82” at the old JFK Stadium and the sheer power that emanated from the stage🔊made me a Who fan for life!🎸
@phillyghost1256 I saw the Who 3 times. 1975 1979 and 1982. I was at that JFK performance in 82 .I didn't care for that concert. Their sound faded in and out since it was outdoors. There is no better band than the Who when it came to intensity. They
were so powerful, and energized the crowd so much.
@@markknebel8923 It was such a big stadium so I guess it depends how the sound effected you of wherever you we’re seated because I was halfway to the stage on the field on Pete’s side and from my experience I got blasted 💥 from the sound & the ground rumbled under my feet for the 2 plus hours of the show that they played! ( The WHO ) 🇬🇧
@@markknebel8923 I agree with you’re descriptive above ( The WHO unlike any other band especially live was electrifying when performing ) “ After the 82” show I saw The Who 10 more times with 2 Pete solo shows & 1 Roger solo concert”🎶 But I would trade in a couple of those shows to have seen one with Keith 🥁….Any specific memories do you have of Moon in the 75’ Spectrum show or any band member for that matter?
@@phillyghost1256 In the 75 concert, I remember that he flipped the drum sticks in the air. When he caught them, one of the sticks was caught upside down. He played on beat with that one stick that way. He also had a puzzled look on his face when it happened. Also, when they ended the 75 show with Won't Get Fooled Again, Keith kicked over his bass drum and threw the symbols to the ground. At the same time, Pete was smashing his guitar. A memory that I will never forget.
easily one of the greatest most powerful Who live clips ever, the edited version on TKAA dont do this version justice. This whole concert needs releasing it catches the band at their ultimate best during 1975
Rock at its best...and never beaten, just bloody epic ...the improv...the technique....the skill the talent the speed and ability...and the sheer balls and confidence to do that live...the best!
Love this comment!
I must say...I do have a LOT of good concert clips posted here at my channel. And THIS very well might be THE greatest one of 'em all! In some ways it is, for sure!
Glad everyone is enjoying it. Yeah, this is Rip-Roarin' WHO at their rockin'est!!! J/M.
I spent about a year trying to learn this exact performance of this medley note for note on guitar and I still find something I missed every time I listen to this. This was an absolute powerhouse performance from pete. This is by far the BEST Who concert. I wish this concert would have been released instead of The Houston Summit concert.
Cody White You're trying too hard. Just drop out in a few places, bend some strings, keep the volume/sustain up there, and you're in the Stadium.
Arguably one of the best live acts by The Who ever documented. Thanks for posting.
I saw them play three months later, in March 1976, at Anaheim Stadium. They were set up in the outfield. Moon's kit was set up in a semicircle fashion.
I was there and it was totally off the hook!
WHAT A JAM...MOON IS FOCUSED...PERHAPS THE BEST WHO JAM OF ALL TIME...I'V WATCH THIS CLIP HUNDREDS OF TIMES...THANKS FOR POSTING...THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE WHO AT IT'S PEAK....WHAT ENERGY!
I grew up with the kids are alright version .Never heard the transition from my generation into join together . Just great .
I was there in the nose-bleeds... but I didn't care. I believe it was largest indoor concert ever held up to that point. The main thing I remember was that it was so loud... the stadium echo you get at concerts never stood a chance. In your face Who even in the top rows of the 3rd deck! What a memory...
I was there!!
This is Great, after me trying to enlighten my Rock Friends for 30 years that The Who are the World's Greatest Rock Band it's starting to get some of you rockers to now see and hear for them-selfs what Live Rock is all about, now that You-Tube is showing the world what kind of shows The Who put on for SOOO...Many Years, then they retired until the 1999-2000 and on tour a few times since then. I've only been a Who Fan since 1964, (I'm OLD) & I crank it up! I love the Who, but I Love God more!
This is beyond the beyond distant beyond...
The Who and yours amazing sounds!!!... I love is it so much!!!!
Glad you enjoy the clip! Yeah, I have had this video (in this nice copy)
since around 2003 or so and I NEVER get bored with it! Especially this jam!
It might be my Most -Watched you tube clip. I need to find my dvd of THE REAL KEITH MOON and continue with the rest of the video. I only put the first ten minutes, then we moved and I can't find that damn disc ..And Fans are pleading for more. Stick around..J.M.
I heard Entwistle's isolated bass track, he often challenges Townsend for the lead and at times was besting Moon with frenzied play but it's buried in the mix.
I f_ _ _ _ _ g love The Who. This clip is reason # 1,003 why.
I was there. Flippen awesome show!
Great footage! Saw them in '70 and '71, this reminds me of those awesome concerts.
Townsend is incredible on this clip...
13:34 one of his best
Totally agree, that ending is fierce! Never heard a better pick scrape! What a sound.
wow just found this. Maximum R&B.
An Alembic and Les Paul what a good sound mix
Saw the movie The Kids Are Alright at the midnight movies in 1982. It shows just about 3 minutes of this if I remember correctly. This is absolutely amazing! I cannot get enough of these uploads of this band in concert! Show any and all that you can! Great job. Sorry that one word comment I just made wasnt nearly enough! Thanks again!
I might be even craZier! I have been singing the guitar part while rattling off the drum part with my tongue off and on over the past twenty some-odd years. And I am a bass player! I totally tripped out when I first watched this footage. I am glad everyone is enjoying this so much. It is live WHO extraordinaire! Thanks for tuning in..J.M.
I remember seeking out a bootleg just to hear this whole my generation version, great to see video of it now
The Who in there prime. Great video, glad someone back then got there act together and filmed this.
You are not alone. I , myself, almost hyperventilated at the blistering climax of JOIN TOGETHER the first time I ever watched this video! I couldn't believe that I had s cored footage from this same show that was partially aired on THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT--which is one of THE best parts of the movie! And thus, one of my fave WHO clips ever!!! Glad you enjoy it. Thanks..J/M.
Les who n'ont plus rien à prouver le plus grand groupe de l'univers les stones le plus grand groupe de leur quartier ha ha ha (Guy platteau Marseille)
I completely missed this one, but saw your comment in my feed! I guess I'm on a 'Who' roll now, so thanks for bringing this one to my attention :) Saw them in '70 & '71...my first real rock concerts!
firing on all cylinders here when keith was with it they were the best!
A legendary performance by a legendary live act. Has to be among the top 10 performances by any band of all time if anyone could rank such things. It's so loud at the end of the medley that they probably had to repair the walls after The Who blew them down that night.
Roadrunner, one leg...change directions....few appreciate that move...
i'm a huge Who fan...i wish that they would have rocked out like this on their studio albums...the exception to this is Who's next...a very well recorded album that sounds as fresh 40 years later as it did the day it was released
My 1st Who concert . At 11.5 years old . Thank you mummy
This footage shows how great The Who were when Pete, and Keith thought as one brain. It's all there @5:00 to 9:00. What Pete and Keith had in four minutes was jazz telepathy. It's the same with Elvin Jones, and Coltrane, Morello, and Brubeck; Krupa and Benny Goodman.
QUADRUPLE THUMBS UP MATE !
THE WHO IS THE TICK OF THE TOCK !
You could call it utter demolition I suppose. They went into a devastating Won't get fooled again after all that. 😁 I do really envy anyone who saw them in that sort of mood.
I posted this several years ago and am glad to see so many people enjoyed it.
I have e a bunch of vids I put on private mode since I had 2 warnings at one point that my channel would get shutmdown again.
I forgot the code and haven't been able to get back I to it for several years.
How can I get back onto this channel?
Sincerely, Jim (no Bong isn't my real last name).
I bought this video at a "trade show" in 1995. TKAA never showed the MG jam, possibly the greatest Keith Moon, Townshend interchange you will EVER see.
Hmm. Boy. Hard to tell...I too was at the Silverdome, just thought now to search for footage, duh...A lot of it seems very familiar, but that can happen on a tour with the same set list, some of the similar moves & stage business, etc. Still, their pretty cold attitude towards one another [we heard they fought a lot that night] plus some of the specific ways Roger sings & Pete shakes his guitar ring a bell. I haven't scanned every bit but if they ever show the audience, I'm right in front...with full on Daltrey perm at that point. Wow, what memories. Opening act was TOOTS & THE MAYTALS, paving the way for bands like the Clash getting more into reggae & ska music. The original garage rockers, THE WHO are BEST!!!
A guitar, a bass, some amps and a drum kit no multi million dollar stage set up just four guys kicking ass. And 8:31 on Holy shit.
Loved this on the Kids album. Then bought the CD only to find it was left off. 🙁
PURE FCKIN' POWER!!!!!
We were at Hershey for Yes 3/1/74 first show of many and continuing working at XM😮
Who and Zep have been frequently compared and in my opinion the who won according to for example their performance this night. The who is a true rock and roll dinosaur I believe.
I want that vest! Seriously.
Interestingly,the original soundtrack to TKAA included more of this jam than is in the actual film. I've always found it to be fantastic! I seem to recall the CD release actually omitted this ENTIRE song.
Mad. :) Complete sync R&B
i was there
Anybody have ANY idea what Pete starts singing at 6:21? I haven't the foggiest idea myself but it SOUNDS bad ass. Greatest jam ever!
Only 1 word....ROCK!!!
lucky you...i've seen 4 shows at the silverdome, the stones still life both nights/bridges to babylon, u2 joshua tree tour...but i would've given anything to have seen this one, and of course zeppelin when they played there...this clip is pure magic.
GREAT!!!
THE WHO: la soberanía del rock.
This is off the Kids are Alright movie soundtrack!
this is the who are their best.
Was here, total mayhem general admission lots of fights
First concert of the dome
....oh yeah
Disappointed that they didn't show more of John
Entwistle's bass goes to the basement doesn't it?
I love The Who. Never got to see them, had no money, so I stayed home and ruined my brother's records figuring them out. Is it impolite to put a link to me playing some Live at Leeds? I hope not. Peace.
3 Minute Guitar Lesson 'The Who' (in pieces) - TH-cam
I saw this tour in Buffalo the same month. One of the greatest concerts I saw. Saw them a few times after Moon died. Not as great.
KICKASS!!! The WHO RULE!!!
i agree..though i hate the state of rock radio today...at least the way it's here in nyc. They play the same classics over and over again. I remember in the early 70's, when a DJ could and would play numerous songs from any particular group. They'd play entire albums sides, and not make a big deal out of it. Today, u get 2 for tuesday, and u should be thankin the radio station...lol...there are plenty of great songs that alot of the fans aren't aware of by these great groups
Agreed, TKAA is an excellent doc but they did favor Woodstock footage a bit too much imo.
It's a shame they never show the ox
Maximum
The Ox was the best!!!!
You mean the Silverdome?
Je crois que tout est dit sans commentaires (Guy platteau Marseille)
At their prime
Not really. But still epic
err...the Join Together jam.
takes me back, shame all this tosh like Brittney spears n stuff is the thing these days. Pure energy.
Pete bad mouthing this is really starting to get on my nerves
He wasn't bad mouthing anything. Pete has a certain way of stating things that some find off putting but in no way is he actually "GLAD" Moon and John are dead.
Led Zeppelin beat them two years later at the same venue.
well that didn't work.
