I have been a Who fan for many years but this has to go down as one of the best concerts I have ever seen. I was only 16 at the time and we lined up for an awful long time to get tickets. In fact we missed the morning of school at Gordan Graydon in Mississauga to get tickets. I have seen The Who many times in Toronto afterwards but nothing compared to this one. May thanks for posting this and letting me relive being 16 again if only for a short time!!!
What an amazing concert what I wouldn't give to be there again. I was side stage on the Ox's side and after they came back for the encore he was wiping tears from his eyes.
I scored a 'backstage' pass from my first job and I chose to stand on the guard rails, in the 10-inch space at the top. it was a balancing act but the security guards never bothered me!
It really was a fantastic way to go out as a band after 18 years of hard fought success. Of course as we all know, it was not quite the "Farewell" Tour everybody including The Who themselves anticipated. :)
@@jamessollazzo4860 In Canada we watched it at home on t.v., not pay per view either. I believe it was on what is now known as Global t.v. and we played the audio from a local fm radio station. It was simul-cast on radio and tv. Yes, we played it as loud as our stereo could go.
I'll tell ya what kenny's drum rolls leading into rogers scream at the end were spot on during the "82" tour. For all the grief Kenny unfairly received he was the right drummer at the time post Keith "79 to 82" ken was alright. And THE WHO were great, the power of there sound live is unmatched.
Lisa Moreno there are a couple songs I didn't like his playing on but for the most part I really liked him in The Who sometimes I wish he was still in the band.
David Cleasby Hey Dave I saw them in Phila. Pa a day before your Buffalo show in "82" and what I've learned it was more of Roger who had a problem with Kenny " that ultimately pushed Kenny out" Pete was kinda OK with Kenny's time keeper style of drumming BUT either way my show in Philly with 100.000 in attendance was by far my all time greatest concert THE WHO with Pete's guitar slashing the stadium and John's sonic bass waves beating off my chest AND Roger singing unbelievable on that tour and Kenny holding his own, it was a pleasure of a lifetime to experience the power of the WHO in 82" because their sound system for that tour was massive " I think the ground is still rumbling at the old JFK stadium in Philly." Dave is it true in that Buffalo WHO concert that it started to rain during " Love reign O'er me" GREAT MEMORIES OF THE WHO OUTDOOR STADIUM SHOWS " 1982 tour." It Was Great.
Hey Ya-all- Kenny is a great rock drummer and he has that reputation sense the early 60's. But when this band was form there drums beats were free hand not formulated to a time scale rock beat. And if your an old timer like me you sure can tell it in these songs recorded with Kieth. It sounds like old men dragging ass, its weird. I love The Who, but Kieth was one of my favorite drummers. Yeah Kenny's taking some heat but that's only because he took the place of one of the greatest drummers in rock&roll history.
jeff dowler I think Kenney was a decent drummer for The Who in studio. But live, he could keep up with the band and not really drag the sound down. Anyone who can keep up with Moon live is pretty damn good!
Kenney Jones' crashing on the snare just as Daltrey catched the mic and starts marching to the cool drum groove in the beginning is awesome!!!!! I like really like Kenney intro. Very cool.
From the time code mark 5:33 to the synth break and then from Kenny's drum solo on-wards to the very end is nothing short of some sort of musical 747. Just amazing the bass harmonic undertones that " The Ox' lays down ( he is all over the fretboard) and then Pete with his over the top guitar. (windmills and all that). Kenny's drumming was rock solid, maybe a little "too dependent" on the snare, but good strong fills non the less. We all know he wasn't Keith, but than Keith wasn't Keith either towards the end. Kenny did a dam good job from '79 to' 82. Pete and his issues were the problem in those years. Even after "his miracle cure" his heart for the band wasn't ever the same . They should have just taken a few years off. (my opinion) I remember this show here in the states I video and audio taped the simulcast w/ some very good equipment. This show played back on hi-end equipment wrecked my ears forever. RIP, Keith & John.
Those criticizing Jones, just remember that he made his craft with Small Faces, another big band as The Who. He's got the skills, and the balls to fill up for such a great as Moon. He just has his own style. Even if he played exactly like Moon, you would be calling him a copycat. Quit bitching and enjoy the rock show.
I loved Keith Moon, gone too soon, but Kenny Jones was perfect for an older, more mature Who. He was solid and consistent. He took his job seriously. A different Who, but still great, nothing wrong with that.
Sorry but Jones has about as much color in his playing as does the Invisible Man. His skin sound blows, he only has one drum roll/fill in his arsenal, no attack, no passion. When compared to Kids are Alright version of this song, I want to pile drive a pitchfork in my own skull listening to this version. He may good for Eminence Front but that's where it began's and end's..
Kenny Jones was a great drummer for The Who. Was he Keith Moon, no, he was Kenny Jones - so what. Also, I always really dug Townshend's style - better executed here than ever. So there!!
Agreed. Waiting for Jones to finish a fill was like waiting for a train. This was the drumming version of painting by numbers. Zak Starkey made this band sound younger in 2000!
I saw the Who several times in Toronto including this show. The first one was in '76 with Keith. This show was one of the two times a Toronto show was billed as their "fairwell" concert. It was the last show of the tour and wrapped up the recording of Who's Last - the live album that was also supposed to be their last. Meanwhile, 40 years later they finish a 56 show tour in 2021. :)
Someone posted in another Who video that the Who were a hard rock band that were not based in blues. They were not based in Jazz or country. They were pure rock. And the finest example of it too. Beatles were a pop band. Please Please Me, I Want to Hold Your Hand, This Boy, stuff like that was pop music. Then the Stones came on with their blues stuff. All their earliest music was blues. Then the Who came on the scene with genre defining rock. I remember the first time I heard My Generation. Who are these guys? My friend shows me the album cover. They are called the Who!
i remember this concert. it was the who's farewell concert. it was on pay tv and i remember watching a scrambled picture trying to see some of it. amazing its been 28 years and pete and roger still going.
In my world I'm the world's greatest WHO fan, saw them 3 times on the "farewell tour" thankfully it wasn't. Louisville, KY Orlando, FL and on the simulcast on HBO, ( the first of such types of Concerts (1982), that are common today. each show was a little different, the HBO show was the most laid back of the 3 (even Roger said so) saw them in 1980 in Lexington, KY and they were into that night! and they still played LOUD! sure hope to see then again 2015 Tour. and I agree, wish I could see this song without the video effects blocking out the WHO.
Fretless99 But, watching it at the Paramount Theater in Seattle live on CCTV as a 12-year old in '82, I recall that as receiving one of the loudest cheers of the night. Especially when Moon was shown.
As bad as a lot of 80`s styles were, they were still better than most of the Polyester Leisure suits Bell bottoms and side burns of the 70`s. The music was better in the 70` s buy a mile.
OMG! This concert was simulcast on a local radio station and I taped it. It's been one of my prize tapes. This was always my favorite version of WGFA (even with the feedback at 2:38, which to me is part of the song). I always thought Kenny Jones' drumming was incredible on this rendition. One odd thing though is a guitar riff is missing at about 6:30, everything else is the same.
We all love Moonie when he was in his prime, but fact is Kenney is killing it here and did a great job from 1979-82. People forget Moon declined tremendously after 1975 and could barely play on Who Are You. Watch the Kilburn Concert, he is way past his prime in 78. They were even talking about firing Moon in 78, something they don't bring up anymore today. If Moon had lived and the Who carried on with him after 78 they would have been pathetic live. Whether Roger wants to admit it or not, Kenney brought new energy to the Who in 79. Roger only wants to remember the Keith Moon from 1973, that Keith was long gone by 78 and could not have played at the level Kenney is playing at here.
Funny you should mention that -- saw them Wednesday night (2019-10-09) in sf.ca.us. Place looked pretty full... they and the orchestra burned the house down. (As for selling out: there's an old, old twofer album by that very title. :-)
Christ bud. Have a drink. Don't realy like what Pete and Roger are wearing here ether. Don't care what the fuck their wearing year to year. Just know Roger and Pete are rock Gods regardless.
The sound quality from the original VHS tape recording of this show was horrible. Its as if the sound engineer edited the entire the show with a filter on the equipment.
the reprise bits incerdible[ to me this is the who attheir best[ along with the live at leeds era[ i cannot understand why kenny jones was criticised[ keith moon was terrible towards the end
Thank you. People tend to forget how Moon had declined by 78. People like to remember the Moon from the early 70s, but fact is they were ready to boot him from the band in 78 since he had declined so much. He could barely play on the Who Are You album. Is Kenney as good as 1970 Keith Moon? Maybe not. Is he as good as 1978 Keith Moon? He is a 1000 times better.
I love Kenny Jones playing. He plays what is expected on the classic songs but he is also a better time keeper than Keith. Not taking away anything from Keith who helped create the Who sound with his mania drumming mind you.
Don't know what your talking about. People wore jeans and sneakers in the 80`s to. I`m not defending 80`s style. I could care less. But the horrid 70`s were even uglier. Either way The Who looked fucking cool any decade.
Kenny Jones Kicks Ass! Why did Kenny get so much grief?Was it his drum sound? Was he too cocky and pissed some of the wrong people off? Who knows! He should Have taken the gig with Rod the Mod instead!
Kenney got grief simply because he was not Moon. Kenney kicked ass in the Who from 79-82. Everyone forgets Keith was washed up by 78 and could barely play on the Who Are You album.
Kenny Jones was certainly competent, but compared to Zak Starkey he was a mere paint-by-the-numbers drummer. The Who needed chaos. You could drive a truck through Kenny's fills and it seemed like the band had to wait for him to catch up. Entwistle may have appreciated him because he was on time, but I think he just dragged the band down. And I haven't I read that even Roger wasn't satisfied with him?
I so agree, moon was a showmen and people got caught up in it, the hype of his crazyness. Moon was all over the map and to busy, Kenny Jones, very rock solid and steady and more on point. Very critized and underated, poor guy. Roger wasn't easy on him and not many in the public, for those 5 years Kenny did a fine job
@@philiptarnopolski5070 Thank you. Too many people malign Kenney. He did a great job on the old Who songs and was reliable. Moon could be a train wreck and was washed up by 78.

No silly dancers, no pyrotechnics, just musical brilliance on full display.
There’s no way for me to articulate how much I love this band. They’re music is in my soul. God bless The Who!!!
I love how concerts back then were just the band and the light show and the music.
The best live perfomance The Who ever did of this tune; Hands Down!
Kyle Adcox absolutely. I've always said that.
Agreed.
It's great but I like the kids are alright version the best.
It's good, but I think the concert for New York was their best version.
@@clbdyc hard to top that version 👍

No.
Nice guy too!

I love this band! they rock
Kenney Jones' crashing on the snare just as Daltrey catched the mic and starts marching to the cool drum groove in the beginning is awesome!!!!! I like really like Kenney intro. Very cool.
Probably the most footage of The Ox I have seen in any Who concert video.
Ox never gets showed enough.

I still can't believe that none of the Moon fanboys have downvoted this clip!
Simon Phillips or Zach Starkey

I saw then play in Edmonton 5 years before this with Keith Moon on drums....when they played "Won't Get Fooled Again" it was a religious experience.
Jones is a GREAT drummer. Just totally different stylistically from Moonie.
Excatly. You watch & listen to Kenny, he plays his ass off.
Jones is a great drummer, but Moon was a one off. There is no one like Moon. He was truly an original.
that alembic sound....amazing
I don't care what people say. When I heard this song on Who's Last, that made me want to pick up the guitar.
This one's off Who's Next actually. Otherwise I fully agree, except I picked up a bass.
David Reichert
Who's Last is a live double LP culled from at least the Cleveland and Seattle shows on this tour. Released in 1984.
Didn't know about that album. Thanks for the info
Pete's REAL loud on that one.
Just like yesterday, then I get on my knees an pray 🎸🎸
This is rock 'n roll, kids.
Enormi fantastici all’ennesima potenza da pelle d’oca il mio gruppo preferito peccato per il sound mono un po’ di loud sarebbe stato gradito. 👍👍

not bad for a band trying to hang it up. kicks everybody else's ass in that era and the who were worn out and ready for a change.
