@paul trewin thanks! I don't have rights to upload complete video and audio from any band. This video is my work because this version of song was never filmed. There is just few video parts from Live at Leeds filmed badly.
Pete Townshend, as a multi-layered Guitarist, is so underrated that it's just goddamn wrong!!!! That guy is one of the best guitarists out there. Not only is he an amazing composer, the guy is just a phenomenal musician. He only solos when the song asks for one. And when the song asks for one, he delivers something executed so well, with dynamics, tension, mood, atmosphere and above all a sense of rhythm that is off the scale, that one wonders why his songs don't ask for more solos. Because ... they don't all need one, and he knows that.
I saw them live at the Manchester fair trad hall in 1970 The helicopter Roger Daltry The mad hatter Keith Moon The windmill Pete Townsend The statue John Entwistle
Takes me back to somewhere a long time ago. A place full of friends and peace, up in the Catskills - stoned and happy. A reel-to-reel place that is gone now and cannot be brought back. So this is a bridge to a time I miss more than I ever thought I would.
I love watching concerts from the 60’s 79’s and The Who are one of my fave bands to watch. They’re so different in their clothes, their dance style and how the dominate their instruments. So much fun to watch.
Saw them live at Woodstock, I will never forget that performance, when I see clips of it, I almost get choked up, The Who are the best rock band ever, hands down, one of a kind, to bad for Keith and John, best drummer, and bass player, ever!
Frank Riccardi you are a lucky man!! i was ten years behind but i love them as much just the same. my boy and are are jamin with the Who as we speak smokin some brisket bringing in the new year RIGHT!
mike anybody have a... "Time Machine" in their back pocket?? need to go back & relive my "Wonder Years".. on shit I've missed out because uncle sam had my ass for the count!!! 68-69 Central Highlands Plieku VN where there was never a "dull moment"... grew up too damm quick!💪💪💪💪💪🇺🇸🦅😎❗️❗️
It took Jimmy hendrix to come along out of fukin nowhere to even try to upstage them!! Top,band man!!. Lucky enough to seen em live!! Unbelievable bro!
What a HELL of a performance. They were so much better live than in the studio. And they were basically a power trio with a singer. Lots of damn sound.
@@ashlynn1652 I think its a great memory for her. I have a similar story involving a Who concert I attended in 82. Its one of my favorite concerts because of the odd twists and turns in the adventure. Not my first concert. Not the first time that I saw those Rock Gods. Second time actually, first time I saw them in London. That 2nd one is my favorite though. Unfortunately, even then, people were Bat Shit Crazy, sometimes more so. LSD, Cocaine, Mushrooms ETC...(not weed), helped with the bat shit effect. Now there seems to be professional crazies, not as many are drug induced, but real pros at what they do. Trust rarely factors in....
@FREE BIRD All Great guitarists but watch some youtube videos of Terry Kath, he has to be equal or better to those u mentioned, he was phenominal.....and very forgotten.
@@motorcitymanman7711 I saw Chicago Cow Palace, about 1976(?) I rememberTerry there. I'm glad Hendrix thought highly of Terry Kath"s guitar playing. Hendrix really liked Chicago. I do to, and always have.
When The Who were at the top of their game, from about 1969 to 1975, no one, absolutely no one, could touch them. Their live shows were stellar. They were the most important rock band, ever. From Tommy to Quadrophenia, it was pure magic. After Keith died, they still remained very good, but it was over.
Stones were killer...iconic....but come on led zeppelin were gods...stones never use to blow every persons mind with the sound of the guitaring of jimmmmmmy page. an jus overall sound of led zep
@@jeffreywilliamson9894 i enjoy Who and Led Zep but 70s Stones with Mick Taylor and the untouchable Jagger as frontman were just awesome. Check the 73 Brussels Affair soundtrack
I had the great fortune to be there when they recorded Live at Leeds. A buddy at the University got us tickets and a friend and I hitchhiked up from London, where we were working at the time. The night was every bit as good as it sounds on the album. 50 years on, it's still the loudest concert I ever went to. My ears were still ringing when I woke up the next day.
I had the good fortune to be there when they recorded the Isle of Wight festival. I still remember that night - the Who going full blast from 2 to 4 AM.
At 65 years of age with much time passed i still say they were the greatest live band to see. I first saw The Who live at madison sq. garden nyc in 1970.
Non scherziamo! Qui siamo a l'Isle of Wight festival 1970... Filmati di Leeds io non ne ho ancora visti e posso sbagliarmi. La migliore rock band live della storia!
Well mate if that's so, then since you're very likely in your 70's (or beyond?!), and I would imagine your hearing doesn't work so well these days either!!
No, never was or will be a band as amazing as the Who.😅 way back when it came out (summer of 69), I listened to Tommy for about two straight weeks. Such great memories. 😅
I’ve forgotten how many times I’ve seen them. I think they’re the reason I have Tinnitus. LOL I had tickets to the Cincinnati show along a bunch of friends. I didn’t go for some reason. It was a long night into the next day to find out if my friends were alright. I saw them 2 nights after & the crowd was mellow, respectful of the tragedy. Then came the encore. Listening to you…the arena exploded. Pouring our love & support to the band. I’d seen them many times before & they doubled the length of the encore. Pete is a master of songwriting, arranging & concepts. A Mozart of R&R
interesting that finding out it's a 'fan made' video didn't stop me from listening to the whole thing --- Live at Leeds is the greatest moment in live rock history
A cut from one of the greatest live LPs of all time (which I've lived with for 50 years), with visuals (which I am seeing for the first time)... Who cares if they don't match up exactly? These guys were always fun to watch. A one-chord song with a Bo Diddley-beat... Attempted by anyone else, this would be a study in crushing boredom... With these guys, one of the half-dozen truly great Rock bands of all time, this is an absolute gas. (And you can never have enough close-ups of Entwhistle's hands, he being, actually, the greatest virtuoso of the four of them.)
@Diamonds of Rock , Ihr könnt Euch garnicht vorstellen, was für Glücksgefühle sich in meinem Leib bilden bei dieser einzigartigen Band, die ich nun schon seit 1965 kenne und mir immer geholfen hat! The Who ist die beste Musik, die mir je zu Ohren kam! Danke fürs Hochladen.
Yes, Isle of Wight, audio from Live at Leeds. For years, I thought Leeds was an outdoor show. The sound was so huge and expansive, the crowd noise somewhat distant-I thought it had to be outdoors. What a brilliant performance, from The Who at the peak of their powers.
I listened to this album until my ears bled! I spent my life in music, born in the 50s, went along with that, woke up in the 60s with The Beatles, Small Faces then THE WHO. I saw KEITH MOON once and remembered why I was here on Earth. I played drums with professionals starting at age 12 - I still play with my Granddaughter's band - I toured Europe/UK, and worked with legends like the Four Tops and the Temptations. I met and shook hands with then played for...CHUCK BERRY. I have been blessed. Thank you Keith John Moon and later John Bonham.
I worked for The Four Tops and The Temptations as well as many others too. Small World for sure. I'm an Audio Engineer, started back when the mixers were just pots like was used at Woodstock. Worked all the way to the "digital revolution." The analog days were the fun times, by far.
Everyone talks about how great Moon the Loon was, and he was, but John Entwistle is literally one of the best bassists I've ever heard... I'm blown away by his skills. I was more of a Zepp fan growing up, but I'm starting to get into The Who, and man, they were amazing.
Quite possibly the finest live rock song ever recorded. It still holds up today which after nearly 50 years is beyond impressive. Here Entwistle does some of his best work. Video and sound quality are excellent. Very nice job diamonds of rock
Yes the best rock song ever. This and about 100-200 others by various bands....all 'The Best'. Not fair to name just a few, but watch Freebird, Live in Oakland 1977.... Watch the whole 11+ minutes. Another (of the many) BEST And 199 others
@@Cryo837 I read once Lynird Skinner showed up The Who on a tour. Also the Who showed up the Rolling Stones on the Rock Circus performances. Did you know Keith Emerson formed a group in the 90's called THE BEST? Yes, Entwhistle played the Bass. That's right, to Keith Emerson. John is virtuoso Earth shattering playing Bass to Keith Emerson. I never knew they played this together, until this year. My life has been enlightened since watching on you tube!
In 1974 when I was a teen had the 8 track live at Leeds. When it broke bought another one and when that broke, bought another one. 70's rocked. Not the crap nowadays
Big Who/Entwistle fan here; have been getting into John Paul Jones lately & realizing how much greater he is than I ever realized. Have heard the Live at Leeds Magic Bus so many times & this time your comment made me realize that YIKES, Entwistle did stuff with the bass from another dimension that was underneath everything he did. So unbelievably understated. Thanks for your comment.
Love it, love it, love it. Played "Magic Bus" for my wife during our weekly "Music Appreciation Hour" a few weeks back. She's 59 and I'm 65. I think it was lost on her.
Great track. Also, great job in fitting 1970 Isle of Wight video to the Live at Leeds audio. The Leeds audio is the 7-33 mins here and the Isle of Wight Magic Bus was just over 3-30 mins, so well done on the genuinely great work in repurposing the Isle of Wight various video segments to fit the Leeds audio.
Teenager and young people...this is pure Rock n Roll. Your parents grew up on music like this. Send me back to the late 60s and the 70s. ✌and ♥️ from the 🇺🇸
John Entwistle Fantastique !!! L'un des tout meilleurs bassistes du monde à cette époque. Les rythmiques du groupe lui doivent beaucoup. Grossse performance d'ensemble ... Keith, Pete et Roger toujours à la hauteur ...
My Dad was there! In fact, if you listen closely, you can even hear him right at the beginning yelling YEEEEEEEEE.........YEEEEE HA! Haha! Dad, everytime I hear this song I think of you. I miss you with all of my (broken) heart but at least I can enjoy listening to the music you loved because I love it too 🥺😊
One thing for sure in the year 2023 -- there is NOBODY in the world today who comes even remotely close to the Who. They were so damned good and special and we'll never see their likes again.
@@daddyboy3546Thank you. Everything from Tommy to Who Are You, including Live At Leeds, are rock cornerstones, in my opinion. Quadrophenia is their magnum opus. Tommy is superb, Who’s Next is a masterpiece, and Who Are You is a great victory lap.
@@allbottledup9513 I agree-sort of: let’s start with Who Sell Out in ‘67 as the start of their peak-a peak higher than 99.9% of any band aside from the Beatles IMHO. Let’s end with Quadrophenia. It’s a stretch to go much beyond ‘73. Odds and Sods had better songs than Who Are You-and those performances on Who Are You, esp Keith Moon are pretty awful.
Went to see the Who in2019 and was guest vocalist in a Who Tribute band. Went by myself and couldnt find an Uber or taxi back so I walked all the way to a restaurant at least 14 blocks away..halfway home. I thought I could get a cup of tea and then go the remaining 14 blocks. Across the street from the deli was a few people with Who backstages on and one invited me with them and we went upstairs to the upper part of the restaurant. I was asked what I did and I told them I did guest vocals for the Who tribute. They asked which one and I told them and they said they were friends with them! This was amazing because the band was in another state from.me..and so were they!💜🎸
I took a pizza to a random house in the woods turns out it was some grunge super studio not only had sound garden recorded black hole sun there it is the same location Dave Ghrol penned Everlong, there was a Marijuana pipe on the table outside I laughed and delivered the pizza and keep going
Kieth Moon ... Askew genius, watching him play is like watching a wind-up toy whose spring was wound so tight it busted the gear. Arms flailing around in crazy motions in an unrecognizable unconventional movement that simply works.
@@chasbodaniels1744 a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. I wish Moonie had lived. On "Who Are You", the album, the drumming was when Moon was more or less clean. The drumming was cleaner as well yet still unmistakable Moon in that oddly inventive and idiomatic style of his. It would have been very interesting to see where he went with it creatively over another few years.
They were so fantastic! They were just so special and wonderful and magnificent in every way. All these years later, since I was a teenager back in the 60s and 70s, I love them even more than I did back then.
This video is composed from several different ones. The soundtrack is definitely from the Leeds concert, but not the videos. If it had been filmed, it would certainly have 100 million views. For me, the greatest live album ever!
Music today really sucks compared to this amazing talented stuff!! No need for dancing girls or chicks shaking their asses this is pure music for the head!
Whoa, this takes me back! Clearly the music and visuals are from 2 different shows, but I don't really care. Seeing The Who in their prime was worth it..

Live at Leeds. The most powerful live performance ever. Pure energy.
In case anyone is wondering, the audio is from the Leeds gig, the visual is from the Isle of Wight.

@@cherylfugate7517 You're welcome, mademoiselle 😘
I was wondering about that, where it was filmed.....Videos a bit off.
It's always a pleasure to see and hear Keith Moon
The Who not only had material and ability everywhere, but they created a tremendous physical tension and anticipation on stage. More than anyone.
The first chords of Pinball Wizard create a sense of moment found nowhere else!
The Who are one of the all-time greatest groups.
fact
and this kiddies is what we call kick-ass rock n'roll. Note: no need for auto tune when you have talent.
Pete Townshend, as a multi-layered Guitarist, is so underrated that it's just goddamn wrong!!!! That guy is one of the best guitarists out there. Not only is he an amazing composer, the guy is just a phenomenal musician. He only solos when the song asks for one. And when the song asks for one, he delivers something executed so well, with dynamics, tension, mood, atmosphere and above all a sense of rhythm that is off the scale, that one wonders why his songs don't ask for more solos.

Big Who/Entwistle fan here; have been getting into John Paul Jones lately & realizing how much greater he is than I ever realized. Have heard the Live at Leeds Magic Bus so many times & this time your comment made me realize that YIKES, Entwistle did stuff with the bass from another dimension that was underneath everything he did. So unbelievably understated. Thanks for your comment.
@@johndannenbrink7590 Townshend always maintained that Entwistle was the true soloist of the band.
give some credit to Bo Diddley
The Who didn't like playing this song live anymore but THIS is the BEST live version of this song EVER!!
Love it, love it, love it. Played "Magic Bus" for my wife during our weekly "Music Appreciation Hour" a few weeks back. She's 59 and I'm 65. I think it was lost on her.
Great track. Also, great job in fitting 1970 Isle of Wight video to the Live at Leeds audio. The Leeds audio is the 7-33 mins here and the Isle of Wight Magic Bus was just over 3-30 mins, so well done on the genuinely great work in repurposing the Isle of Wight various video segments to fit the Leeds audio.
Good to see you know your performances, isle of wight is one of my favourite performances of all time
This is NOT LEADS, you MORON!
Teenager and young people...this is pure Rock n Roll. Your parents grew up on music like this. Send me back to the late 60s and the 70s.
✌and ♥️ from the 🇺🇸
One of the all time best bands
Magic bus. One of my Dads favourite songs. Built and repaired buses most of his life
This was back when rock god's walked the earth. Glad to have been a young'un back then. Great clip. Thx Diamond.
Ritchie Blackmore's still around, but he's doing folk music with his pretty young wife. But he's rock's one true Guitar God.
Wildman Keith Moon is so fun to watch! This band was so full of energy. I love it!
Whoo-hoo! My rock-loving daughter bought the live Leeds album two weeks ago! Insane low price for a perfect secondhand import vinyl.
John Entwistle Fantastique !!! L'un des tout meilleurs bassistes du monde à cette époque. Les rythmiques du groupe lui doivent beaucoup. Grossse performance d'ensemble ... Keith, Pete et Roger toujours à la hauteur ...
My Dad was there! In fact, if you listen closely, you can even hear him right at the beginning yelling YEEEEEEEEE.........YEEEEE HA! Haha!
Dad, everytime I hear this song I think of you. I miss you with all of my (broken) heart but at least I can enjoy listening to the music you loved because I love it too 🥺😊
one of the greatest live albums
This song was always associated with great rode trips for me; the Who knew how to rock!
My favorite recording of my favorite song by the Who. Powerful times ten.
R.I.P. John Entwistle the perfect Bass-player of old school, he is one of the greatest.
No he isn't. He is THE greatest.
@@davidbourke9457 agreed , the ox ,thunder fingers , best bass player ever , proper rock star
Sth LDN QPR
And he died like a proper rock star!
Long Live The Ox
@@daGO_BLUE you know
That chug chug of the bass....Damn...
The best song from the best live album ever. No band comes close to the Who.
Agreed ! Best live album of all time
At their best, greatest live band ever.
Spot-on !!!
It kills me everytime I think about Keith Moon. No matter what you say, he was a brilliant drummer!! Life is not fair!!
Best performance of this song!! They were in a different galaxy in this show :)
Absolutely agree. The sound of that guitar is legendary. Keith Moon at his best.
One thing for sure in the year 2023 -- there is NOBODY in the world today who comes even remotely close to the Who. They were so damned good and special and we'll never see their likes again.
Echo to you Joe, the best, simply the best....Pete & Roger + Orchestra are touring in the UK this summer. Long live it!
NO BODY AGREES with YOU!!! ............................ BUT I DO! LOVE THIS TAKE.
There were bands that were the nucleus of modern rock n roll. The Who was one of them. Pinball Wizard solidified that. Who’s Next album was history
Quadrophenia!
@@daddyboy3546Thank you. Everything from Tommy to Who Are You, including Live At Leeds, are rock cornerstones, in my opinion. Quadrophenia is their magnum opus. Tommy is superb, Who’s Next is a masterpiece, and Who Are You is a great victory lap.
@@allbottledup9513 I agree-sort of: let’s start with Who Sell Out in ‘67 as the start of their peak-a peak higher than 99.9% of any band aside from the Beatles IMHO. Let’s end with Quadrophenia. It’s a stretch to go much beyond ‘73. Odds and Sods had better songs than Who Are You-and those performances on Who Are You, esp Keith Moon are pretty awful.
It IS THE greatest live rock album of all time. By the greatest live band of all time.
The Who is a best gruop rock in live all times , Entwistle are perfect , Moon player strong , Peter inspirade and Daltrey's voice power , sober !!!
i'd go for best live group. maybe not best overall group but on stage they are in a league of their own
@@CG-or1re The Who
drums - top five in all of Rock
bass - top five in all of Rock
vocals - top five in all of rock
writer - top five in all of Rock
Greatest rock and roll band of all time IMO.
I will have to disagree here. My vote is for the eternal Rolling Stones!!!
I STARTED LISTENING TO THEM WHEN i WAS TEENAGER, NOW i AM 78!!
Yeah man! Very strong.
@@michellewatters1386 i agree. ""the who sell out" is intelligent beyond belief and rips all the other "concept albums" to shreds. Be Blessed
Roger Daltre had such a strong voice, of a real man! I have ' teenage waistland 'rolling around in my head for abaut a week. 😃
Bring solid old rock back please..I'm 66 can't listen to the new stuff..well some of it
Long live rock be it d
Moon's cymbals always sound like storm waves on a galeswept Cornish beach, rising right over the top of the music, amazing!
Well said.
CAN NOT GET BETTER THAN THIS!
live was the best too.
Went to see the Who in2019 and was guest vocalist in a Who Tribute band. Went by myself and couldnt find an Uber or taxi back so I walked all the way to a restaurant at least 14 blocks away..halfway home. I thought I could get a cup of tea and then go the remaining 14 blocks. Across the street from the deli was a few people with Who backstages on and one invited me with them and we went upstairs to the upper part of the restaurant. I was asked what I did and I told them I did guest vocals for the Who tribute. They asked which one and I told them and they said they were friends with them! This was amazing because the band was in another state from.me..and so were they!💜🎸
I took a pizza to a random house in the woods turns out it was some grunge super studio not only had sound garden recorded black hole sun there it is the same location Dave Ghrol penned Everlong, there was a Marijuana pipe on the table outside I laughed and delivered the pizza and keep going
In 2019 The Who were a Who tribute band.
Kieth Moon ... Askew genius, watching him play is like watching a wind-up toy whose spring was wound so tight it busted the gear. Arms flailing around in crazy motions in an unrecognizable unconventional movement that simply works.
Yep, the more footage I see of Moonie, the more amazing he seems. Really, each of the 3 musicians were brilliant and unique in their styles.
@@chasbodaniels1744 a classic case of the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. I wish Moonie had lived. On "Who Are You", the album, the drumming was when Moon was more or less clean. The drumming was cleaner as well yet still unmistakable Moon in that oddly inventive and idiomatic style of his. It would have been very interesting to see where he went with it creatively over another few years.
He, Ginger,and Bonzo.Best
They were so fantastic! They were just so special and wonderful and magnificent in every way. All these years later, since I was a teenager back in the 60s and 70s, I love them even more than I did back then.
I rode on that bus in 1968 on my way to a country in Southeast Asia.
Caught that same bus back home in
1969.
Glad to be riding that Magic Bus.
I was right behind you: Jan 70-Oct71. 😎

It's the love and the small and colorful memories that make you and your beloved always be alive and with you.
@@gumbojumbo4473 thank you for your memorable reply, peace ✌🥰
why doesn't this have like a billion views??
This video is composed from several different ones. The soundtrack is definitely from the Leeds concert, but not the videos.
If it had been filmed, it would certainly have 100 million views. For me, the greatest live album ever!
I remember listening to this when I was about 9. Started my lifelong love of rock .
0:52
One of my favorites’,can’t ever get enough!
Music today really sucks compared to this amazing talented stuff!! No need for dancing girls or chicks shaking their asses this is pure music for the head!
Whoa, this takes me back! Clearly the music and visuals are from 2 different shows, but I don't really care. Seeing The Who in their prime was worth it..
We miss you, Keith and John!
God bless the Who. 🇬🇧
