This song will always remind me of a great friend who died graduation night from college 42 years ago. We had gone to a Who concert earlier in the year and we loved this song. I still have this album. ❤
So sorry about your friend .My eldest brother who passed in 1990 ,he had this album and I always think of him when I hear it . Isn't something how songs bring us right back .
Roger Daltrey's vocals in this are legendary. Townshend's lyrics really epitomize someone with Jekyll and Hyde feelings. Then you get Keith Moon going nuts on the drums. My only criticism of the song is that it is far too short. I always want more of the frenetic activity.
Behind Blue Eyes is a deep song by The Who that I love. Pinball wizard from Tommy is my favorite song by The Who as well and We won't get fooled again, followed by My Generation and Magic Bus.
The bass lines by "The Ox" (aka John Entwistle) really make this track for me. I'm a guitar player and Townsend's riffs, both acoustic and electric, are nothing short of legendary but Entwistle's counter melody behind the acoustic guitar on the verses is just amazing. And he makes it sound, and even look, quite simple to play. Until you try to play it yourself, that is. "The Ox" is one of the most influential bass players in the history of Rock & Roll.
Yes John Entwhistle's bass lines are always stellar, often they are lead guitar lines on the bass, but never forgeting he's holding down the rhythm and highlighting Keith Moon's drums (definitely a smiling madman) shine even more so.
They have a great ability to vary the tempo & power of their song that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next note. Another HUGE recommendation for 'Love, Reign o'er me' for your next Who song!!!
I had the pleasure of attending 2 The Who concerts...amazing musicians and showmen and LOUD !! I have enjoyed many concerts and, by far, their concerts were the LOUDEST. Good times....
There aren't many perfect albums where every song is great, Fleetwood Mac Rumors, Pretenders Learning to Crawl and 500 more I can't list but this one? Absolute perfection. This album is the middle of a trifecta of perfect albums, Tommy , Whos Next and Quadrophenia.
At some point, you need to check out Roger Daltrey singing "I Want It All" at Freddie Mercury tribute concert. In that moment, he makes the song his own and you almost forget that it's not a song by The Who. I bet Freddie would have loved it.
Yes! Finally! One of the greatest power ballads of all time. One of the first song I simply had to learn to play. So much anguish, so much strength, the dynamics and the piercing power of this masterpiece are incomparable.
Simon and Garfunkel's 1965 "I Am a Rock" goes really well thematically and musically with this 1969 song. Both were played on the radio a lot back in the late sixties and early seventies.
I saw the WHO in July of 1980 in Memphis TN. !0th row center !! The absolute BEST show I have ever seen. I have been to over 300 shows in my life and that was just so DAMN good. I did not get to see Keith Moon but I did see and hear John Entwistle (bass player) About 3 hrs long. Roger Daltrey was the best front man I have ever seen as well.
The WHO and the ROLLING STONES are the two most IMPORTANT Bands to come out of London ! ! ! And they have Still to This Day, never been topped! BELIEVE THAT ! ...Newk from Kentucky
The Who, Who’s Next, is there best album. Every song is great, every song that radio play in the 70s. Everybody should listen to (Who’s Next) start to finish, you won’t be disappointed.
Reminds me of my brother, Tim, who died in September. When we were teens his music would come through the vent from his bedroom to mine. He was all about The Who, Kiss, Alice Cooper, the Beatles. I miss him.
This song is from a Who? album entitled "Who's Next?" To me, it's one of the best albums to come out of the rock era by anyone. Do yourselves a favor a get a copy of this album. Every song is a masterpiece!
yeah the entire Whos Next album was & still is a masterpiece. Their best music was with keith moon on drums (RIP). one of my favorite videos on youtube is a live version of Wont get fooled again, with keith ripping on the drums.
Well i think you must have pipped me to the post with that. Just about to say the same. I have a huge cd collection.In there are a handful of albums that every song stands high on its own . Springing to mind: Joni mitchell Blue, Kate Bush Kick Inside, and this one-Who's Next.
I was 11 years old in 1982 when HBO showed The Who’s final tour. I was mesmerized and an immediate crazy fan. I remember that old floor model television 📺 cranked up so loud the speakers were distorting. I would grab my toy guitar and windmill and jump off my bed going crazy watching that concert. Every time I hear The Who I think about being a kid.
The funny thing is i just had the DVD in hand, yesterdy when i cleaned up. And yea the album and movie are brilliant. I asks my self, how many youngster will understand it.
A great song for the older RSR family members, who remember The Who in their day, is Pete Townshend's "Slit Skirts." When it came out the message of growing old and changing really hit me -- and I was 22! LOL... Now I'm 62... and it hits even harder -- but beautifully. One of genius Pete's best on his own from The Who.
I never really thought about how this song picks up once he starts talking about how his suffering comes out through anger and violence... Great reaction! Eminence Front is really cool as well by The Who!
Ok, now you've done it. You've gone and played one of the tunes that reached into my heart and squeezed it so hard that all my angst just...melted away. The first part just kills me so good it brings tears to my blue eyes... The second part is pure humanity that reminds me that while some of us are long peninsulas, no man is an island... Speaking of islands, my suggestions after this reaction is Simon and Garfunkel's *I Am A Rock* which ties into this tune rather nicely... Thanks S.W.
Great reaction guys I read most of the comments and found no one mentioned Keith Moon he is the best drummer by far imo watch some live performances of him he puts on his own show with the double base and the rest of his set surrounding him simply amazing. Keep the reactions coming
Classic Rock music just hits different than modern stuff. I appreciate the skills and talent of all musicians but rock from the 60's and 70's always cuts deep.
You should watch a live video of them sometime, they are incredible to watch. High high energy from Moon on the drums, Townshend and his famous windmill style, Daltry with his tasseled shirts and throwing the microphone all around, and finally Entwistle who seems the most calm but is just as essential to The Who "sound".
Hi Amber and Jay! My FAVORITE BAND-- The WHO!!!! I have seen them 4 times! (First time was in 1982) Love your reactions----you two are so much fun and real---Thank you for your reactions and sharing QUALITY MUSIC with the masses! It is so great when young and old people can "Learn or be cultured to appreciate music/bands/genres"---You are T.C. = "Too Cool"...Keep doing what you are doing! You guys ROCK!!! Peace to both of you. Stay safe!
This is from WHO'S NEXT album , I wore it out ,in the car and on the turn table.. One peculiar rocker from that is MY WIFE sung by bass player John Entwhistle ..It is so awesome....I Can See For Miles is their huge psychedelic hit from 1967 that you should check also..
@@sukie584 Yea he was the humorous guy in the band.. One that is a bit violent is Smash Your Head on a solo of his and another solo song called "Dancing Master"....super songs .
My favorite song by one of the best bands of all time. Every time I hear it I get a tear. I am glad you hit to head it. I hope you do Happy Jack, and Pinball Wizard. Do the last 9ne with lyrics if possible. Love your channel.
An amazing song, on an even MORE amazing album, 'Who's Next'. EVERY song is a masterpiece of songwriting and vocals. All four band members could be considered the best at what they do. THE WHO!!!
I love how y'all listen with eyes closed, just like the first time I heard it. Grew up in the FM Album Stations time in late '70's when the DJ would let you know when to start the cassette recorder. Thanks for bringing back that feeling and great music.
Keith Moon comes stomping in on the drums, and trees get knocked down, waves crash over the shore, and people run for their lives. Keith Moon, there is no substitute, unless it's Substitute.
Since everyone else is suggesting "Love Reign O'er Me" (which I agree you MUST hear), I'll throw in "Emminence Front" with Pete on lead vocals, and "My Wife" with John on lead vocals, just so you can get a fuller sense of what each member brought to The Who.
Ya can't go wrong with ANY song from the album "Who's next" . The classic of classic albums. My 3rd favorite band preceded by Rush and Pink Floyd (in that order).
This song will always remind me of my brother (who I’m estranged from) when he was in his late teens, playing guitar, singing & recording it in his room for hours. He’s now 64, hard to believe how fast time flies. Awesome, though very sad song! ✌️💗
The vocals yes ... but all of the instrumentation in this is phenomenal!! In particular, the drums and the *bass guitar* runs ... those are awesome and you really have to listen and pay attention to catch them!! Great stuff!! @RobSquadReactions
One of the top 5 bands of my 55 year old existence! Kieth Moon is a drummer that compares to no one. Quadrophenia and Tommy are Rock Operas, meant to be played front to back. Definitely give those a try
Only saw them once, here in OKC, back when dirt was young. The tickets were at the fairgrounds arena box office and that was a window outside the building. It was a crowd so packed around that window, you had to climb up the window ledge and fall back on the crowd that would then hand you out to the edge to escape. Good times.... :)
Eminence Front by The Who next please!!!!!!!! You’ll love it… I promise !!!! Great reaction guys - this song is one of my favs by The Who - great reaction! ✌🏼❤️
A & J, the member of The Who most overlooked is undoubtedly bassist John "The Ox" Entwistle. If you're up for an absolute banger with arguably the greatest bass guitar work in all of rock n roll, you need to give a listen to "The Real Me." Trust me, you've never heard anything like it!🔥
What an absolutely incredible singer Rodger Daltrey is. From is Extreme manly bar room floor voice to his complete opposite abilities to sing softly was so much Harmony in his voice and Keith Moon the drummer constantly having that drum Whip or drum Bang
Give a listen to 'Pure and Easy' from the 'Odds and Sods' album. It was written, as was 'Behind Blue Eyes', for a double album ( 'Lifehouse') and was one of the stronger songs cut out when the 'Lifehouse' project morphed into 'Who's Next'.
When you have been utterly destroyed emotionally, cut deep and hurt bad but had to hide that pain and carry on for the sake of others who are innocent and still need you to be strong for them. When you've had to swallow that pain and bury that anger deep behind a façade, bite your tongue and pretend to be happy when you truly never can be again. Then even years later you can listen to this song and cry, scream let out your demons and then pull yourself together and carry on again.
This brings me back to seeing The Who back In 1989. I had press seats, so really close, and it was thrilling to be so close to Roger Daltrey when he sang this.
I was born the year this song was released, so I was to young to have seen the band with Moon, but got to see them Live once with John, and twice without. I became a fan in the early 90's, and they have been my favorite band ever since, just an amazing group front to back, and head to toe. Pete is without question one of rocks best song writers(and a very good guitarist), as you can easily tell from this tune. Keith was an amazing drummer who lost a few steps in his later years, but in top form, is one of rocks best. John as a bass player was the GOAT, and Rodger on vocals was a perfect fit to Pete's songs, and was one of rocks best front men who still has it 50+ years later. Do yourselves a favor, and watch some of their LIVE content, as they were as much a visual band, as they were audio. And much of their career was filmed in 35MM film, and all this time later, most footage looks and sounds amazing. Long Live Thee OOOOoooooo!!!
This song will always remind me of a great friend who died graduation night from college 42 years ago. We had gone to a Who concert earlier in the year and we loved this song. I still have this album. ❤
Sad, but sentimental.
It made me sad to read that. I'm sure you have great memories
Awe, sad but sweet.
So sorry about your friend .My eldest brother who passed in 1990 ,he had this album and I always think of him when I hear it . Isn't something how songs bring us right back .
I want j and amber to react batdance by prince
'No one bites back as hard on their anger like I do, And I blame YOU.' OMG he's about to go off.
and if I swallow anything evil put your fingers down my throat.
Have to recommend their song "Love, Reign O'er Me". So beautiful, both the singing and the music.
You are listening to one of the best Lead guitarist,bass guitarist, drummer, and front man In rock.
Keith Moon's relentless drumming
in my opinion, "Who's Next" is the greatest album in rock history, front to back every track is astounding.
I agree with you, and the Doors LA Woman my second pick !!
That was the only Who album that the whole band contributed. The rest were all Pete.
Definitely one of the best, I remember buying it unheard in 1973, one of the best purchases I made.
You forget Pink Floyd exists
Everyone has their own "must have album" list. This one is on mine . . .
The difference between sad and angry is such a fine line.
Truly one if the greatest bands ever. There music is easily translated to a full orchestra and they are known for their rock operas.
One of our best British bands.. And they are still playing although only 2 of the original 4 left alive
The Who have done some pretty amazing work. 👏
Roger Daltrey's vocals in this are legendary. Townshend's lyrics really epitomize someone with Jekyll and Hyde feelings. Then you get Keith Moon going nuts on the drums. My only criticism of the song is that it is far too short. I always want more of the frenetic activity.
It almost like Keith Moon said, "enough of this! Time to rock!"
Behind Blue Eyes is a deep song by The Who that I love. Pinball wizard from Tommy is my favorite song by The Who as well and We won't get fooled again, followed by My Generation and Magic Bus.
The Who Live at Leeds was my first Who album I bought in 1970 when I was 15, and couldn’t tell you how many times I listened to it!
The bass lines by "The Ox" (aka John Entwistle) really make this track for me. I'm a guitar player and Townsend's riffs, both acoustic and electric, are nothing short of legendary but Entwistle's counter melody behind the acoustic guitar on the verses is just amazing. And he makes it sound, and even look, quite simple to play. Until you try to play it yourself, that is. "The Ox" is one of the most influential bass players in the history of Rock & Roll.
I've always kind of felt that Pete's guitar was the rhythm section and John and Keith played lead bass and lead drums.
My all time favorite bassist of all time.
Yes John Entwhistle's bass lines are always stellar, often they are lead guitar lines on the bass, but never forgeting he's holding down the rhythm and highlighting Keith Moon's drums (definitely a smiling madman) shine even more so.
Love the OX absolutely ❤️
@@uncledonnie7556 I agree. Roger Glover is a close second in my personal opinion, but I'm a complete Who freak so I can't be objective. Lol
They have a great ability to vary the tempo & power of their song that really keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next note. Another HUGE recommendation for 'Love, Reign o'er me' for your next Who song!!!
Definitely!!!
Absolutely!
Yes!
Yes!! Love that song!
Behind Blue Eyes,wonderful acoustic based song.
I had the pleasure of attending 2 The Who concerts...amazing musicians and showmen and LOUD !! I have enjoyed many concerts and, by far, their concerts were the LOUDEST.
Good times....
Roger Daltrey, the singer, did a version of this song with the Irish band called The Chieftains..absolutely GOLD!!
The Who is right there in probably my top two bands. Love their sounds and the drama behind them.
There aren't many perfect albums where every song is great, Fleetwood Mac Rumors, Pretenders Learning to Crawl and 500 more I can't list but this one? Absolute perfection. This album is the middle of a trifecta of perfect albums, Tommy , Whos Next and Quadrophenia.
Yep
The genius of Pete Townshend
Quad is so under appreciated
At some point, you need to check out Roger Daltrey singing "I Want It All" at Freddie Mercury tribute concert. In that moment, he makes the song his own and you almost forget that it's not a song by The Who. I bet Freddie would have loved it.

Who's Next didn't come out until 1971.
My 26 yr olds favorite. He loves The Who.
The Guess Who too!!!!
I introduced him to many artists.
I saw the WHO in July of 1980 in Memphis TN. !0th row center !! The absolute BEST show I have ever seen. I have been to over 300 shows in my life and that was just so DAMN good. I did not get to see Keith Moon but I did see and hear John Entwistle (bass player) About 3 hrs long. Roger Daltrey was the best front man I have ever seen as well.
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands
Hey, guys! If you haven't listened yet, Ten Years After "I'd Love to Change the World" is a pretty groovy tune. Have a wonderful 4th of July!
The WHO and the ROLLING STONES are the two most IMPORTANT Bands to come out of London ! ! ! And they have Still to This Day, never been topped! BELIEVE THAT ! ...Newk from Kentucky
I,M,O the most important bands to come out of UK full stop, Beatles third
the Kinks also
Truly one of the greatest rock albums ever.
top five!
Every member of The Who were masters at their respective instruments. Everyone basically played lead! It was organized chaos par excellence!
"Finding beauty in the dissonance" Tool Schism...organized chaos indeed
The Who, Who’s Next, is there best album. Every song is great, every song that radio play in the 70s. Everybody should listen to (Who’s Next) start to finish, you won’t be disappointed.

First group to have album Rock Opera "TOMMY" Yes, rock opera!!!😍
One of my very favorites of all time! Thanks for playing this profound tune Amber and Jordan.
I was 11 years old in 1982 when HBO showed The Who’s final tour. I was mesmerized and an immediate crazy fan. I remember that old floor model television 📺 cranked up so loud the speakers were distorting. I would grab my toy guitar and windmill and jump off my bed going crazy watching that concert.

So many great Who songs. Love Rain O’er Me is full of passion and rocks.
So true. I am convinced they would BOTH love that song
Yes. Classic rock. Thank you.
"Behind Blue Eyes" has been in my top 5 favorites along with the studio version of "Stairway To Heaven" for decades.
The guitar work makes this song great. I would love to hear the instrumental version of this song.
Who's Next is fantastic. Quadrophenia is pure brilliance. One of my favorite bands
The funny thing is i just had the DVD in hand, yesterdy when i cleaned up. And yea the album and movie are brilliant. I asks my self, how many youngster will understand it.
Fantastic song and reactions. Other songs from The Who you need to listen to: “Love, Reign O’er Me” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”

Great reaction guys I read most of the comments and found no one mentioned Keith Moon he is the best drummer by far imo watch some live performances of him he puts on his own show with the double base and the rest of his set surrounding him simply amazing. Keep the reactions coming
No one mentioned the Ox either. PS how's the Red Special?
“That’s not what I expected by The Who”. That’s 70s rock, all the great bands were so diverse.
Thanks for the video!
Classic Rock music just hits different than modern stuff. I appreciate the skills and talent of all musicians but rock from the 60's and 70's always cuts deep.
My favorite song by them, sheer perfection.

Have always loved the Who and this song is one of my favorites
This is from WHO'S NEXT album , I wore it out ,in the car and on the turn table.. One peculiar rocker from that is MY WIFE sung by bass player John Entwhistle ..It is so awesome....I Can See For Miles is their huge psychedelic hit from 1967 that you should check also..
My Wife is one of my favorite Who songs. John’s humor was great.
@@sukie584 Yea he was the humorous guy in the band.. One that is a bit violent is Smash Your Head on a solo of his and another solo song called "Dancing Master"....super songs .
"And if I swallow anything Evil, Put your fingers down my throat" Best line EVER !!!
My favorite song by one of the best bands of all time. Every time I hear it I get a tear. I am glad you hit to head it. I hope you do Happy Jack, and Pinball Wizard. Do the last 9ne with lyrics if possible. Love your channel.
An amazing song, on an even MORE amazing album, 'Who's Next'. EVERY song is a masterpiece of songwriting and vocals. All four band members could be considered the best at what they do. THE WHO!!!

Your next Who song NEEDS to be "Love, Reign O'er Me". It's almost a perfect song. So good.
100%
Yes!
I'm on board with that.
Keith Moon comes stomping in on the drums, and trees get knocked down, waves crash over the shore, and people run for their lives. Keith Moon, there is no substitute, unless it's Substitute.
Yes. 😂
Not one bad song on that album. Absolutely perfect.
“A cool transition” - yes indeed - one of the best and most amazing ever.
The Who is, without a doubt, one of the truest rock bands in every way. Their instrumentation, lifestyle, and stage show just screamed rock.
Always listening to this during high school, one of their best albums, def! Can’t escape teenage years without The Who!!
Since everyone else is suggesting "Love Reign O'er Me" (which I agree you MUST hear), I'll throw in "Emminence Front" with Pete on lead vocals, and "My Wife" with John on lead vocals, just so you can get a fuller sense of what each member brought to The Who.
Definitely Reign. Wow, Daltrey's voice is just so powerful.
“My Wife”. Hilarious lyrics!!
You guys MUST listen to THE REAL ME, LOVE REIGN O'ER ME (Quadrophenia LP) & AMAZING JOURNEY/SPARKS from Live at Leeds. The Who at their peak! 🔥🔥
Ya can't go wrong with ANY song from the album "Who's next" . The classic of classic albums. My 3rd favorite band preceded by Rush and Pink Floyd (in that order).
This song will always remind me of my brother (who I’m estranged from) when he was in his late teens, playing guitar, singing & recording it in his room for hours. He’s now 64, hard to believe how fast time flies. Awesome, though very sad song!

@RobSquadReactions
Finally someone mentioned the Ox's melodic bass playing.
One of the best made...51 years old and still sounds fresh
That entire record is full of great tunes not to mention that it was released in 71' and still to this day is a FANTASTIC record overall !!
Such a beautiful song. The Who is the bomb. Love you guys. Brings me back to my teens.✌🌻🌻
One of the top 5 bands of my 55 year old existence! Kieth Moon is a drummer that compares to no one. Quadrophenia and Tommy are Rock Operas, meant to be played front to back. Definitely give those a try
When I bought _Who's Next_ on vinyl I thought it was a greatest hits collection.
As many have already said...probably a top 5 rock album of all time
Only saw them once, here in OKC, back when dirt was young. The tickets were at the fairgrounds arena box office and that was a window outside the building. It was a crowd so packed around that window, you had to climb up the window ledge and fall back on the crowd that would then hand you out to the edge to escape. Good times.... :)
The entire Who's Next album is superb! Drop the needle on track one and enjoy all the way to the end.
Great music. One of the great album covers of all time.
Beautiful song!! My parents played this a lot when I was a child…
That was my sister. I kind of "borrowed" her copy of Tommy and never looked back.
It's about time. :)
Eminence Front by The Who next please!!!!!!!! You’ll love it… I promise !!!! Great reaction guys - this song is one of my favs by The Who - great reaction! ✌🏼❤️
This is my favorite song from this album and it’s my favorite album from The Who, this song is definitely a masterpiece

Thunder Fingers
As much as I love Chris Squire and Geddy Lee, I’ve always considered Entwhistle the best bassist.
@@courtneywallace871 I love all three.
@@markhunter8554 I hear ya! Me too! Gotta give mention to Tony Levin also.
The Who, yes this is a really great album thanks👍🎙✌️✌️
Love is vengeance that is never free. Slow then boom fast . Great beat and it is what you would do if you loved someone., but he is sad and lonely .
What an absolutely incredible singer Rodger Daltrey is. From is Extreme manly bar room floor voice to his complete opposite abilities to sing softly was so much Harmony in his voice and Keith Moon the drummer constantly having that drum Whip or drum Bang
Give a listen to 'Pure and Easy' from the 'Odds and Sods' album. It was written, as was 'Behind Blue Eyes', for a double album ( 'Lifehouse') and was one of the stronger songs cut out when the 'Lifehouse' project morphed into 'Who's Next'.
When you have been utterly destroyed emotionally, cut deep and hurt bad but had to hide that pain and carry on for
the sake of others who are innocent and still need you to be strong for them. When you've had to swallow that pain
and bury that anger deep behind a façade, bite your tongue and pretend to be happy when you truly never can be again.
Then even years later you can listen to this song and cry, scream let out your demons and then pull yourself together and
carry on again.
Another great song by the Who is "Tommy can you hear me" from the rock opera, "Tommy". Oh, another one is "Pin ball wizard".
This song and Magic Bus are my fav Who tunes.
Love The Who! So many great songs!
This brings me back to seeing The Who back In 1989. I had press seats, so really close, and it was thrilling to be so close to Roger Daltrey when he sang this.
Pete wrote powerful songs and no one but Roger could deliver them with such depth
It was an introspective look at himself facing temptations. 🙂
I was born the year this song was released, so I was to young to have seen the band with Moon, but got to see them Live once with John, and twice without. I became a fan in the early 90's, and they have been my favorite band ever since, just an amazing group front to back, and head to toe.

And much of their career was filmed in 35MM film, and all this time later, most footage looks and sounds amazing. Long Live Thee OOOOoooooo!!!
This is one of my favorite Who songs along with Love, Rein O'er me.
