OMG. I can watch this a thousand times. The rythm, the dance, the voices, the trumpets, the man with the harmonica, the lady singers, Townsend himself.... This is so damn addictive to watch!
My daughter had the lead part in her dance recital to this song in the late 80's when she was maybe 11 or so! Sooo very cool. It's on a VHS of course. Been thinking of having one made of me on video at age 73 dancing to this and having it melded with hers from the 80's! Now how cool would that be?? Going to ask at the Create-A-Video place down the road from here how much that might cost!
I am also reminded of one of those fabulous jitterbug tunes, from way back in the day!:) The ones that just seemed to keep going and going while all of those couples danced and danced and danced!
Yes he is a genius. I've known that for a long time probably 1968? And before that. My generation. He took a 3-minute song and made a statement for the next Thousand Years
his song writing ability is unsurpassed, and his guitar playing ability is amongst the greats, but i always thought his voice was under rated. so, yes, you're correct.
DAMN!!! That feeling when you forget such a great tune exists, then for some reason it slowly creeps into your mind, after decades lost to memory. You look it up and it turns out to be even more of a cracking song than you remember.
Anyone who has ever played drums knows how incredibly difficult this is to play. Your forearms simply tire out. Incredible job by the ambidextrous Simon Phillips.
Like someone else said, proper drum technique allows for longevity and better percussion health. That's why you can see many elderly jazz and Classical players still working. Additionally Simon Phillips always look like he's having fun playing!
"Pete Towhnsend At His "Very Best" ! ! "And..........."Whaaaaaaaat A Band", That Im Sure He Hand Picked All Of That Awesome, Great, Genius Of Talent Performing With The One And Only, "Mr.", "Pete Townshend" "On The Same Stage," "With Him" ! ! 🎶🎵🎼😊😉✌💜
this band was the best thing Pete ever did as a solo artist. So sorry he didn't do more with them , but they must have cost an absolute fortune to maintain.
Awesome concert; once in a while I dust off the good ol' VHS player and pop in the 📼 and crank the Vol. close to 10 n' 🕺💃 . I tell you, after all these decades, the sound still great.
Das ist so dermaßen klasse!!!!....ein Hochgenuss für jeden der gute Musik mag!!.... Und noch die Künstler bzw Musiker dabei zu sehen....das ist wie der heilige Grahl.....quasi....alle Daumen nach oben!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎹🥁🔊🔊❤️
...for those who turn down this ass-kickin' song and perf...it's funny how some can't bear an artist stepping (boldly in this case) out his usual ways...maybe that's the reason they're not artists themselves, I deduce...
@steveh46: Not sure which one you mean but both sax players (Tim Sanders and Simon Clarke) along with the trumpeter (Roddy Lorimer and Dave Klewes) and trombonist (Peter Toms), comprise the Kick Horns. Pete introduces them here: th-cam.com/video/SYP0qzw-tbI/w-d-xo.htmlm13s Most people aren't familiar with them but their credits are really impressive -- they've played with Beyonce, the Stones, Clapton, Dr. John, Paloma Faith and many more. They're still very active and have their own studio in London.
Very sad the male vocals are not staying in tune with the ladies class a number one these two ladies are absolutely fantastic, I bow to you you are also playing with one of the greatest guitar players in history.
That's the best boogie down music I have ever heard - and I'm 73 years old!
OMG. I can watch this a thousand times. The rythm, the dance, the voices, the trumpets, the man with the harmonica, the lady singers, Townsend himself.... This is so damn addictive to watch!
I have watched this an unhealthy amount of times!
@@dougpeters1625 Me too!

I can, and have, listen to Simon all night. He's the engine that keeps this moving
Is true..so true
So brilliant. One of the most underrated songs and performances of all time! Why aren't there a million likes here? Pete Townshend is a bloody genius!
I had to like this like.
I am also reminded of one of those fabulous jitterbug tunes, from way back in the day!:) The ones that just seemed to keep going and going while all of those couples danced and danced and danced!

Here's about 100,000 for you. Just sublime
The answer to your question is simple: Pete goes clear over the heads of most people, especially when he works solo.
I love this band. Such energy, Pete, Gilmour & Simon, all legends.🙏
Gilmour seems really out-of-place on-stage here, like he somehow got roped into this by Townshend.
David S as well.
I wish this Whole Concert was On TH-cam
It is. Deep End Rockpalast or London too I just saw.
What a talent. Even without a guitar windmilling the fuck out it he still entertains as a lead singer.
his song writing ability is unsurpassed, and his guitar playing ability is amongst the greats, but i always thought his voice was under rated. so, yes, you're correct.

Exactly! We didn't know how good we had it with tunes like this
Anyone who has ever played drums knows how incredibly difficult this is to play. Your forearms simply tire out. Incredible job by the ambidextrous Simon Phillips.
It's just because of the haircut ; )
It's all because of his technique. Without it, you can't make it through that song
Like someone else said, proper drum technique allows for longevity and better percussion health. That's why you can see many elderly jazz and Classical players still working. Additionally Simon Phillips always look like he's having fun playing!
ONE OF THE HARDEST DRUM BEATS TO PLAY RIGHT
Likewise the bassline during the solo section! SHEER endurance race!!!
A great musician on the drums, Simon Phillips!!!!
That drummer, Simon Phillips, such quick wrists, I can not keep up that pace for the entire song with one HH hand, and to him it's effortless.
He and Ringo Starr are the only people I know who can shuffle so fast with a smile on their faces.
Those 2 young ladies can sure sing and dance!!
yes indeed
Yes and how about that harp player!!! Playing and dancing like that at the same time? Fantastic!!! 👍
@@TomTom-xp2jbpeter hope evans
@@Scott-ly2nk Thx for the heads up. 👍
Peter Townsend is a genius!! It's 430am and I had to hear this song!!!
Now I know how Simon makes it through this song without blowing out his hand. He alternates hands AND snare drums. Nice
timmycue..... a true master!!
That's some HARD drumming! Great job by Simon.
That's probably why. If he were to play with the same hand throughout the entire song without switching his hand would probably disintegrate.
Noticed that Larry Mullin Jr. of U2 does that too on certain songs. Has a second, shallower snare to the left of of his high hat
try kenney jones
That song just kicks so much ass.
musically and visually this video/song is a HUGE smile! just awesome!

I was introduced to The Who by my Uncle in 1965. I was 8 and have been mad on them ever since. Townsend just got better and better.
Wow oh wow been many a year since I've heard this banger. I forgot just how outstanding Pete and everyone else is.
this band was the best thing Pete ever did as a solo artist. So sorry he didn't do more with them , but they must have cost an absolute fortune to maintain.
Pete Townsend is a genius. Change my mind.
Agreed! Always loved the musical genius of Townsend. This song and many others prove it. No arguments here. 👍
I agree 100%. He and his music has big infulence to my life too.
He can't even remember the lyrics since he's reading it off the floor...
Haven't seen anyone in a 49ers' jersey hit that hard since Ken Norton Jr.
Awesome song. Very 80s. It's funny seeing Pete singing and moving along without his guitar.
the musicianship is unbelievable....as a bassist that Steinberger EMG sound with the right player WOW. The horns are awesome!
Yeah they were awesome guitars
Wow! What an explosion of talent!!
So nice to see how Pete moves without a guitar strapped on him!
PETE TOWNSHEND MUSICAL GENIUS THE BAND IS UNBELIEVABLE THEY KICK ASS
Townsend can create some of the most amazing sounds and songs. And this band is beyond incredible .
Townshend rocks as always and what a fabulous band👍
White City has a lot of good songs on it.
Great album
Che spettacolo straordinario! Oggi nessuno sarebbe all'altezza di fare altrettanto! Musicisti strepitosi e Townshend eccezionale, come sempre.
Awesome concert; once in a while I dust off the good ol' VHS player and pop in the 📼 and crank the Vol. close to 10 n' 🕺💃 . I tell you, after all these decades, the sound still great.
My favorite from Pete.Great job.
Loved this song from the first time I heard it at work.
Gilmour/Townshend/Philips/Pallidino et les autres : une dream team
Mitch Noospheres No Pino here. It’s Chucho Merchan.
Bassist killing it!!!
Chucho Merchán rocking the bass, flawless!
I bought myself a Steinberger (or rather a Hohner B2A) after seeing this video 😂 What a driving groove!
💕 Love 80’s Pete!
Das ist so dermaßen klasse!!!!....ein Hochgenuss für jeden der gute Musik mag!!.... Und noch die Künstler bzw Musiker dabei zu sehen....das ist wie der heilige Grahl.....quasi....alle Daumen nach oben!!!👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎹🥁🔊🔊❤️
That was tight. That drummer is a machine.
Dave Gilmour as his guitarist? What a song.
NEVER seen this clip before totally amazing great vocals from PT
underrated masterpiece
The last great big band. Legends.
Simply put, brilliant!!
That's some tasteful guitar work from Gilmour.
Peter Townsend is such a freak... and I mean that in the best possible way.
Give me a frkin Time Machine I wanna be witnessing this live. Jazz/funk/big band and rock. What a performance by all
Hell of a hit!
Great song!!
That song just cooks! 🔥🔥🔥
This was a awesome concert O ever saw!!!
This is a one helluva party track and video! Plus, I hit like 1111. =)
best ever, never gets old!!
The way I contaminated the planet because I wasted so many batteries listening this song in my walkman! And rewind over and over with a pencil!
He kicks ass and then some! FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!
First time I've seen and heard this song live. Exemplary.
timeless
...for those who turn down this ass-kickin' song and perf...it's funny how some can't bear an artist stepping (boldly in this case) out his usual ways...maybe that's the reason they're not artists themselves, I deduce...
LOVE this tune and these two girls ar hot AF!!
What a hell of a boogie, Wow man it's something else? 😊😎
Este si es el mejor tema de los 80 👏👏👏🇨🇱se pasaron temazooooo
If only we had the Brixton Academy (London) show in this quality.
Love it, it’s Rock, Jazz, Big Band, Big Eighties….
Grandissimo Pete ❤️
Wow, splendid!
It's a shame that the Deep End didn't last long. Each of their clips is fabulous. But then, it was a big group and must have cost a lot to maintain.
As an SF Bay Area native, glad to see the drummer rocking Joe Montana’s jersey!
This is brilliant! Pete is quite the dancin' machine...who knew?
What . . . a . . . band!
Loved it!
Wow !!! Wonderful !!!
50 years of not being a frontman shows ,lol but we love ya anyway Pete
solid rhythm section and brass for that sharp blattiness
Let's hear it for the horns!
Make your face red boys!!
Nicolas Cage definitely has some dancing skills.^^
stole a little MJ there too.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Holy cow! It's David Sanborn playing with Pete.

It's like... entertainment in a speakeasy from the 20's I love it!
That's brillant Rock and Roll ❤
As I said to a mate. If you don't love Pete Townsend you're dead to me.😂
Awesometacular!
NUMBER 1!!!!!
This Song and Bare Footin are Classics.
Que humilad la de Pete con sus anotaciones en el piso ajja! sera siempre el fundador del mejor grupo en vivo de la Historia.
Here, here!!! I second that. 👍
Wasn't there a music video of this song with his daughter, Emma? Tell me I'm not going crazy!
Tudo de bom!!!!!
thee back up singers are fabulous and easy on the eyes
I love that so much
He might be my hero
top notch
This song makes one want to get up and dance
This was my buddies opening song for his comedy routine in the 80's
I always watch this video, its wonderful!!! Awesome..saludos desde Perú

Pino?

@@GSC333 pink is the bassist, and Simon is playing drums!

Diamond brilliance.
Peter Hope-Evans on harmonica. Played on a lot of Pete's solo albums.
AMAZING
Great one
Nice!
Hermosa música!!!!!
Un clásico orquestado, sinceramente maravilloso.
Love it! Everything that was *(*&ing great about the 80s! But amazing energy, love it!
The Kick Horns....featured on Gilmour's About Face solo album.
