-Our Intro Song "Feel the Love" From Alex's band
open.spotify.com/album/4Dao8y... - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
Pete Townshend has said some scientists told him Keith's hand speed was physiologically impossible - muscles can't move that fast. If you go to 3:01 that burst of speed is so fast it's blurred on film, which is 22 frames per second. So that's more than 22 beats per second, which is faster than muscles can twitch. I think he must have learned how to multiply his speed by bouncing the sticks. It's too bad no one ever filmed him on high speed film. (full disclosure: I got a master's degree in muscle and joint physiology). He also did some crazy stick tricks, like bouncing a stick off the snares, spinning 25 feet in the air, and catching it. Not many drummers could put on a show like that.
Funny, if you see Pete's picking hand strumming on Drowned from the Royal Albert Hall concert, I don't see how anything can move THAT fast either!
Great info Lucie 🥁
@@Itelkner I'll have to go look!!
@@loosilu Great, enjoy! I'd love to hear your impression of it once you've seen it.
I've watched all the greats and love em all but Ive come to the conclusion Keith is the best rock drummer. Especially listening to his isolated drum tracks. Most inventive fills and phenomenal live.
My goal in life is to play Amazing Journey right one time before I die😂
Excellent. What we're all seeing here is the early birth of the Rock Opera incubating in the mind of Pete Townsend. The concept of multiple songs and themes being constructed as interlocking units that could tell stories beyond the capability of the two and a half minute radio song. That mind - and that band - would soon unleash Tommy on an unexpecting world.
The Who often referred to A Quick One as "Tommy's parents".
As well as Who Sell Out.
Exactly. Looking back at what was then the future. 😳
That is right where my mind went too!! I have that soundtrack in my collection still!
The Pretty Things had already released SF Sorrow at this point
In an era of the most remarkable rock bands. One band eclipsed them all live. It is the reason Rush exists. U2 ‘s favorite band. The Who live are the greatest rock act in history. No disrespect to the Dead, the Stones Springsteen Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin. Skynyrd. Allman Bros, Fleetwood Mac(awesome) Queen Paul McCartney or Elton John. All royalty. But there was one band that rose above all. The Alpha. The Omega. The Who
The Dead don't deserve any recognition, so why include them? People who like ( follow) them are those who could eat unflavored oatmeal for YEARS on end, and not even notice that they are missing FLAVORS.
@@lisasmithline1386 that is just rude. I’m not a big Dead fan but for Gods sakes to deny their talent is bitterness.
@@davidrudolph5594 , I simply disagree; they may be talented on their instruments, but there is very little variety in their songs.
You are welcome to criticize bands that I like if you want to, because I don't get offended.
Yep. Truth. They're 3 levels above the next best live act, whoever that is, wgaf.
I've seen all but 2 of the bands you list, and IMO the Who are what you say they are. They are just the abscolute shit. The secret sauce is John Entwistle. If he was in your band, the rest of the band would have to flat out suck for your band to not be great. News flash - the rest of John Entwistle's band did not suck.
My favorite part of this song is the part where they chant the word 'cello' because the record company wouldn't pay for an actual cello player to perform that section like the band wanted.
I used to think they were saying “jealous”, which made perfect sense in that part of the story, until I heard the “cello” background story. 🤣
Was just going to post this Adam 🤣
That’s such a great story. I never knew that. It reminds of the story of the song “Handyman” by Jimmy Jones. A flute player never showed up for the recording, so the co-writer of the song whistled the flute part.
@@keef7224 For a while I thought they were saying 'Jello' then maybe 'bellow'. Neither of which make any sense. I was pleasantly surprised to find out the truth in a random article one day, actually made me enjoy the song even more.
@@yenlard6683 I've been waiting patiently for them to do this song just to drop that nugget of trivia.
Finally! That mike throw and catch is Roger's trademark. I'm almost going to miss the merciful pleas for you to play this. You are now Forgiven.
LOLOL! god did we beg.
@@loosilu You begged to the gods, and they shined kindly on you this day 😉
Roger missed the catch once, and knocked himself out. But he was about 75 at the time, so I guess that...he's forgiven.
@@grennmanalieshi Perhaps it’s just a different sound coming from them than you’re used to? It’s rumored that the Stones prevented this song from being more well-known. Something else to add to my sweet and sour feelings for the Stones. What most of our intentions were in requesting this was for the A’s to watch a live Who performance. It was their live shows that helped catapult them into stardom. Anyway, I feel your comment might have been better left on the main thread instead of under mine, as I am extremely fond of this performance.
@@reginag4053 I believe he’s actually hit a few people in the crowds. And joyfully getting into scraps with them after the show 😂
Love The Who, one of the greatest bands of all time!
THE best LIVE band in history!!!
The most rock n roll thing I have ever seen/heard, bar none. Glad you guys finally hit this.
At the start of the ‘you’re forgiven’ section, they’re singing Cello Cello Cello. They wanted cellos on the record but couldn’t afford them so sang it instead.
The entire Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus is a worthwhile viewing, but in a lot of people’s opinions The Who stole the show.
Think Mick did also and was not happy, so it was shelved for years and the Who's part was the only part out there.
They sure did, considering the number of names that were there such as the Stones, Tull, Lennon, Clapton, Taj Mahal, nobody other than The Who really performed well.
Worth a view just for the dirty Mac, "yeah blues" is off the charts
@@nickfisher432 The thing is, back then you had no media to market it. You saw it live or when it reaired. This was 1967,68 I believe. You can find it in it’s complete form in The Who’s movie “The Kids Are Alright” movie from 197(9?) The Who and the Stones were always on friendly terms. Keith & Ringo were drinking buddies but I don’t think that Pete saying that The Beatles sounded “flippin lousy” endeared him to rest of the band.
@@ianbrooke6342 Taj Mahal and The Dirty Mac are probably the best performances other than The Who. The problem with Jethro Tull's performance is that, while Ian Anderson is live, the band isn't -- they're just miming to the recording. But even then it's still pretty good -- and interesting to see Tony Iommi on guitar even though he's not live.
I absolutely love this live performance. On a side note, is there any doubt that the Muppets' character, Animal, was HEAVILY inspired by Keith Moon?
No doubt. 😜
Yup!
And Ginger Baker
I never thought about that!! So true!
Clear as day.
This is a masterpiece live performance
Roger Daltrey has said that even though he was the lead singer he had to do something onstage to draw attention to himself, to compete with the visual antics of Townshend & Moon. Thus the swinging of the mike was born.
Another shining example of the brilliance of Pete Townsend and the versatility of the Who. Great reaction!!👍🏻✌🏼💯
The Rolling Stones rock ‘n’ roll circus never actually aired on TV as planned. Rumor is that the stones canceled it themselves because The Who we’re just back from their American tour, fired up this energy, and blew everyone else out of the water. Don’t know how true that is but it was one of the best performances in the show.
This is the "Kids are Alright" version. There's a version on youtube released only a few years ago: same sound, but different camera angles that end up being much better. In there you can see Townshend trip on Moon's cymbal mic stand, the mic hits Moon, Townshend reorients it, all without either missing a lick. You can also see better when Townshend runs into his own mic and pushes it it down, then lifts it with his nose and sing, again without missing a lick (only the nose part is visible here). Better views of Moon's water (or was it beer?) on the snare stunt. Overall more energetic. I've included the link because it is freakin awesome, a great thing made a tad better.

@@samcook1545 - I think it was more that the Rolling Stones were also very unhappy with their own performance, they were tired, listless and Brian Jones was a shell of the musician he used to be, by then. Though, maybe it wouldn't have been as obvious without the juxtaposition.
So glad you did this one. The Who stole the thunder form the Stones and Dirty Mac - I especially loved Keith's water stunt. Definitely one of the seminal moments of rock music.
Well, Dirty Mac was kind of a hastily thrown together combo!
@@Itelkner True
Y, The Who had just gotten off of a tour so they were tight and smokin' hot. This is such a great showcase for their classic sound and what they were capable of. I get why this was never a hit, it's all over the place. But what a ride. Love this clip.
@@Itelkner and yet, what a combo!
@@foxandscout True, the best in rock together. If they'd spent time writing and rehearsing together they might have come up with some great stuff.
Remember....this was WAY before punk rock. This is my favorite Who performance ever, I've watched it 500 times. This is what The Who is all about.
I love how the cool stoner in-crowd is just flabbergasted into cheering!
So great, it’s wonderful you guys did this one! Amazing performance by The Who. One of the reasons The Stones did not want to release the Rock And Roll Circus was due to The Who absolutely blowing everybody else off the stage.
So true. It didn't get released at all until mid-2000's, when I instantly got it on DVD, my prized possession!
I believe the Stones were also not pleased with their own performance because they had arrived a few hours before the filming and were working on very little sleep (and probably hung over). I can’t recall all the details, but I think their reluctance to release the footage was more about their unacceptable performance than The Who’s performance. But maybe I’m wrong?
"Young Man Blues". The Live At the Isle Of Wight version is very good, as is the Live At Leeds version. Definitely have to check that out next.
I absolutely agree... Pure Who madness.
How about the entire concert 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've been telling these guys that for two years.
@@ptolemyauletesxii8642 me too🤷
The version from the movie The Kids Are Alright is definitely worth a listen too.
If you want to see more live Who, look into The Kids Are Alright movie, the Won’t Get Fooled Again and Baba O’Rielly performances are excellent.
I hope they’ll finally get to it ! 🎧
Yea won’t get fooled again and BaBa would do it for em’
It also includes Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight.
YESSSSS! Fantastic film created by a fan, backed by the Who and put together way before MTV, with full song knock-out performances throughout from early '60's to '78....best rock film ever made!
The whole movie from the performances to the crazy interviews is a gem!!
We just witnessed four musicians playing the lead at the same time. Truly remarkable!
Never saw this vid before, never heard the song. What a jaw-dropping performance! When you add up the Who's playing style, instrumental/vocal talent, lyrics, compositions, performance, showmanship, Who's Next and Quadrophenia, innovation, passion, daring and original PUNK ATTITUDE, they were the total package, the supreme rock band.
The Who are my absolute fav band. Loved them since their inception and blessed to have seen them live at least 8 times since 1971. Five times with Moon!! Worked for MCA records in SF, their label, in the 70's and was able to watch them on stage at their Day On The Green show. Saw all the greats of that era multiple times. But no one, no one had the stage energy, dynamics and rocked out like The Who! MUST SEE entire 1970 Isle of Wight show they did to 600,000! Great production and camera work!
I feel so blessed to have seen this incredible band way back in the days sitting in the second row during the Quadrophenia tour. Unbelievable to see them live and in their prime. And to top it off Lynyrd Skynyrd was the opening act.
Definitely watch “The Kids are Alright” movie. There’s a great story about “Won’t Get Fooled Again”. The producer of the movie came up after the concert being filmed (for the documentary) was supposed to be done. He wanted a definitive “WGFA” and would they do it? There was a lot of swearing as only the English can do it, and they went out on stage LIVID PISSED OFF. They were BRILLIANT.
"Oh my God, Keith Moon is being an absolute lunatic"
And now you know how Roger, Pete, and John felt every single day of their career.
And you can see why he destroyed hotel rooms regularly.
“Keith Moon is being an absolute lunatic…” standard Moon moves- I wish you could have seen the band live! Although they were still great after his death, the party never really was the same.
Fantastic example of their live performance.
John’s bass really shines here.
“Cello cello cello cello cello…”
You DEFINITELY need to react to The Who performing "Young Man Blues" live at the Isle of Wight in 1970. It has at least as much energy as this performance of A Quick One, but they also have a larger stage where you get to see why The Who are often considered the greatest live rock and roll band of all time, especially in the 1969 - 1972 era.
This was the beginning of The Who’s dominance of live performances for the next several years. They supposedly embarrassed the Stones by this gig. Check out Woodstock, Isle of Wight or Tanglewood for some of their best recordings or the epic Live at Leeds album.
The mike swing is Daltrey’s gimmick . He often tells the story about deliberately hitting a heckler in the crowd at a concert and breaking the guy’s nose.
The guy was in a violent gang, cut Roger's head with a carefully aimed coin first, so deserved the retribution! In the mid-'60's Roger had needed something to do with his hands and started twirling the mic with great precision!
I saw this performance in the Kids Are Alright when I was 13 (in 1980) and it was what set me over the top. I wasn’t going to take no for an answer from my parents, I was going to be a drummer! I listened to this song over and over. 41 years later this performance still rocks like few others. Great review gentleman!
The "Kids are Alright" Documentary is a must see, so much classic footage and great soundtrack
Saw it in the theaters when it came out its a good doc about the who.
The Who are rock n roll incarnate. Down and dirty, as real as it gets
Sitting next to that clown was Brian Jones. The main reason that this show was not released for nearly 30 years was the Stones were far from impressed that The Who completely blew them off the stage.
More live Who please! "See Me, Feel Me" from Woodstock would be a great place to go next.
Now watch "Young Man Blues" from Isle of Wight concert. The Who at their hardest, rockiest, and insanest.
GAWD, Entwistle walks the HELL out of his bass!! Such a smoove player!
Entwhistle played lead bass. He was astounding. I put him with Chris Squire, very different player but just as good.
He played everything on that bass, just like Keith did on drums...rhythm, lyrics, notes, everything! It took four guys to attempt to recreate what he did when he died at the start of their 2002 tour. Roger said at their first show several days later at the Gorge in eastern WA that they had to continue with the tour and were terribly honored that us fans all showed up anyway...his words about John were so heartfelt he had ALL of us in tears. I'll never forget it. RIP John and Keith. Long live the Who!!!!
@@michaelgray4964 Very different, except Entwistle and Squire both had that amazing, electric storm tone, as if their bass strings were live wires buzzing and sparking away. In that way they were similar enough that I always compare them.
@@terryanngallagher3605 Wow, that actually gave me chills! Great you were able to experience that first hand! Epic concert tale!! ;) Thanks for sharing!
@@terryanngallagher3605 A group of us came down from Vancouver for that show. We had been in the pub for jam night either the day of or the day after the news dropped and were all bummed that John was gone and figured the tour was going to be cancelled. That ended up being one of the most fired performances from them that I've seen since the first time on the '89 reunion...Pete smashing his guitar at the end of Won't Get Fooled Again in pure frustration, despair and rage is something I never thought I'd see him do and it's a memory I'll cherish 'til the day I die, in spite of the circumstance that brought it about.
I also remember somebody farted on stage and the audience laughing and Roger (I think) saying "joke's on you, the wind is blowing it your way!" or to that effect, lol.... I've got the mp3's, been a long time since I listened.

There is a feeling of a garage jam or a drunken bar room gig to this song when it starts out but the musicianship is just outstanding throughout. I love the Who, I cannot count the hours I spent glued to the stereo playing their records. Thanks for this reaction. I wonder if Pete ever needed shoulder surgery on that right arm???
Pete Townshend is a genius. I have always been a massive Who fan but in my early teens I did not know what to make of this. This footage was not seen for years and watching it I can see just how brilliant it is.
I think that this is just your 2nd reaction to pre-Tommy Who, and there's more great stuff to check out from the early days. I would do "I Can See for Miles" next, but you also need to hear, at a minimum, "Substitute" and "The Kids Are Alright". If you want to do an early Who poll, you could include those 3 songs, along with either "I Can't Explain" or "Pictures of Lily".
Substitute, The Kids Are Alright and I Can't Explain are mandatory
The only thing about Can't Explain I don't like is the additional added vocalists.
YES - "Substitute" is so pre-punk the Sex Pistols used to cover it, but "I Can See Fro Miles" should be the next studio track. Of course, if they track "Live At Leeds" we could hear "Substitute" live along with "Young Man Blues"
Keith's work on I Can See For Miles and Happy Jack caught my attention at age 15 and made me want to be a drummer....too bad there were almost zero role models for female drummers in the mid-'60's!
pre-Tommy Who is the best. Great band who inspired many of my favorite bands later in the 70s and into the 80s.
The Who was the most exciting live band ever, not just for their incredible musical assault on the ears, but for the unmatched visuals and energy on stage. Listen and react to the album "Live at Leeds" which for my money is still the best live album ever made.
Nothing compares to Live at Leeds.
@@nickfisher432 Except Live at Hull!
Live at Leeds is not only what might be considered the Who’s best live concert but sets the benchmark for what a live rock concert should be. Epic on so many fronts and always needs to be played LOUD.
@@loosilu True, there are some moments on Live at Hull that are even better than Leeds. But there were a few "warts" in the Hull performance so they went with the flawless Leeds gig and released it as Live at Leeds.
The bass guitar wasn't picked up for the first song or two in Hull, so they imported it from Leeds. Some think Hull is the better overall performance.
Everytime I see this clip, it brings me great joy and I laugh out loud. The Who comes across as a band auditioning a new song for an event or festival. So lively ...it goes everywhere!!! :D
Young man blues live at the Isle of Wight is a must for live who performances!
I would go further and say the whole Isle of Wight performance by the Who is a must.
Moon just grabs the spotlight, even with a great front man like Daltrey, I still end up just watching and listening to Keith.
THere's a reason why they never gave him a working vocal mic. Not that he needed it, he screamed loud enough to be heard on Pete's.
Keith wanted his drum kit in front, but of course, that couldn't happen, so he did all he could to upstage everyone else! He couldn't sing well at all, but tried to anyway!
Keith actually sounds pretty good in harmony with the other guys when they'd bring him into it.
@@Itelkner They never let him, ever. He has a great gravelly voice for Uncle Ernie in the film Tommy...and he can do falsetto on Barbara Ann, but can't do melody or harmony no matter how he tries. He never had a microphone on tour or on records...he lip syncs!
@@terryanngallagher3605 He appears to be singing right at the start of this video unless he's lip-synching.The harmony sounds like it could be 4-part; it sounds pretty full. I don't hear one bad one screwing it up
I've been waiting for this moment for SO LONG! This is one of my favorite live performances in the history of rock-n-roll.
NEVER have I seen a reaction to this. WELL DONE!!!
THANKS I really enjoyed.
The Rolling Stones Rock 'n' Roll Circus also includes a performance by a group called the Dirty Mac which features John Lennon and Eric Clapton on guitars, Keith Richards on bass, and Mitch Mitchell (Jimi Hendrix Experience) on drums performing Yer Blues. There is also a performance by Jethro Tull whose original lead guitarist had recently quit; the initial replacement had already decided he did not want to stay with Jethro Tull, but Ian Anderson talked him into at appearing for The Rock 'n' Roll Circus. That guitarist's name was Tony Iommi, and left Tull to return to his other band Earth, who later changed their name to Black Sabbath.
Supposedly they were looking a for a new band to introduce at the show. They were trying to decide between two pretty unknown bands and decided to go with Jethro Tull. The other new, unknown band they decided was a bit too heavy for everyone's taste. It was Led Zeppelin.
This song is my guilty pleasure. And why the Who is one of my fave bands ever.
After folowing your channel for almost 2 years and being Patreon for over a year and a half you FINALLY reacted to a song that this 55 year old rock fan had NOT heard before either studio or live...kudos....
So glad you guys finally watched this. This changed my life when in first saw it as a kid.
This was another of Kieth’s kits with no hi hat. They’re “too quiet” he would say.
He also set up his toms so he could do rolls either left-handed or right-handed. Dude was nuts.
@@seamusburke639 I think he did rolls down the middle. That's what it looks like, at least.
Thank You....impeccable performance like just about every live Who performance........best ever live band !!!!!
What a blast! Love The Who but had never seen this and didn’t know the song. When at their best hard for any rock band to match them.
This was their first "mini-opera," and served as writing practice for Pete to expand into the epic productions that were Tommy and Quadrophenia (as well as the failed "Lifehouse" project from which the album Who's Next was salvaged). If you want to see more of them live, there are so many great choices, but I think you'd particularly enjoy their Shepperton Studios concert, doing tracks like "Baba O'Reilly" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
How good were The Who live? I saw them twice, the first time when they still had Entwistle on bass. I got into a car accident on the drive home and totalled my car. STILL WORTH IT.
YASS Gents! Been requesting this for ages! Next up Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight. Haven't watched the reaction yet, but I'm sure its great!
i know there are many other worthy contenders, but for me The Who will always be the Greatest Rock n Roll Band of all time! Maximum R&B!
Here's another vote for Young Man Blues from Live at Leeds. You really need a shot of The Who just rocking balls out. That's a prime shot.
We’ll never see a band like The Who ever again. The original line up playing live was as good as it will ever be.
AWESOME!!! You wanna see The Who at their passionate, energetic zenith...watch the live Isle of Wight performance!! Unreal.
Right, now imagine that intensity, with a few more years playing live under their belt and now you have to try Live at Isle of Wight. 2hrs of insanity fighting to be the lead. Best live band evee
The whole concert is an amazing record of this time, in terms of those gathered. Rolling Stones wouldn’t become ‘the Greatest Rock & Roll band’ until Mick Taylor joins a few months later & they go on a studio & live run from 69-74 that’s tops for me. Anytime we get The Who or The Stones on this channel is a must watch! 🔥
Absolutely!
I got to see the Stones w Taylor on the '72 Tour of the Americas, playing "Sticky Fingers"and 'Exile". Top Three in my all time list.
@@michaelgray4964 Shit, that concert should be 2 of the top 3
I have seen them seven times. That show was far and away the best.
Caught ZZ Top on the Tres Hombres tour with Freddie King. That's up there. I'd probably put Genesis with Peter Gabriel in there somewhere too. "Selling England by the Pound" tour.
Stones catalogue from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street is second to none. I agree @Simon Hudson, Mick Taylor was the secret sauce. His technically clean style perfectly complemented Keith’s grittier work.
NO WAY!!!! we've been asking for this forever!!! Can't wait for this!
Our begging and pleading finally paid off!
@@junietunes2148 How much scotch did you have to send to A&A?
@@ChrisHyde537 Me and quite a few other A&A fam have been begging for this for at least a year. Probably should've sent them scotch LOL
@@junietunes2148 It’s probably why we’re hearing more Tom Petty than Roger lately 🥃🥃🥃🥴
It’s so fun when they finally play something you’ve been asking for, and they love it!
👉 I Can See For Miles
👉 My Generation (Live At Leeds)
Gotta add these Who essentials to the list.
If you haven't watched their infamous performance of My Generation on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Show, then that should be the next stop on your rock and roll journey.
Sure Im not the only one to suggest The Kids Are Alright as a must watch movie on The 'Ooo.
One of the best rock doc's ever...
Finally. I have been suggesting this one for ages. Great pick.
I love how at 2:09 Townshend knocks over the mix stand then picks it up mid song
Knocks over the mic standing, hitting Keith in the forehead! Keith's mouth makes an "O" but he misses not a beat.
@@sjw5797 lol
That's a true pro.
Top recommendations would be Won't Get Fooled Again at Shepperton Studios 1978 and See Me Feel Me at Woodstock 1969, both of which are included in the movie The Kids Are Alright, which would be a great one to watch in total on Patreon. Some other notable performances are Summertime Blues at Woodstock, Young Man Blues at the Isle of Wight, Love Reign o'er Me at Shea Stadium 1982 (Townshend plays a gorgeous guitar solo) and Won't Get Fooled Again at a Madison Square Garden benefit for first responders of 9/11.
This performance is a great one. They were young as you guys, and on FIRE.
Dudes, this was fantastic! Right now, their movie "THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT" is free on TH-cam, which contains this clip and tons of other classic ones. Saw it in the movie theatres when it came out in 1979, it was mindblowing. I know you do movies on your Patreon.....this is one that's NOT to be missed, you'll be air-guitaring for DAYS. This gives you clips from all stages of their career, it's one of the best rock and roll movies ever.
They have it on DVD!
@@loosilu Awesome!!!!!! Thank you, Lucie for letting me know, or else I'd be babbling about this movie for the next year! :P
@@TTM9691 Yes, one of the subscribers sent them the DVD. I believe they also have Quadrophenia, not sure about Tommy
@@loosilu Ooo, Tommy! Any chance to see Jack Nicholson warble "Go To The Mirror Boy" and I"m there! :P Oliver Reed, one of the golden throats of movie musicals! :P I hope they've got that one, I'm almost tempted to watch it right now, myself! lol. (it's been many years!). "Quadrophenia" I was never as into, as a movie; the 70s Who music actually distracts me from the period piece of the film itself! Is it just me?
This was composed by Townsend prior to Tommy, and he sometimes referred to it as the “mini opera.” Also, that falsetto coming out of Entwistle always makes me smile, as his natural voice is a bass/bassoon.
The original idea for the concert was going to include the Small Faces, the Rolling Stones, and the Who, and the concept of a circus was first thought up between Mick Jagger, Pete Townshend, and Ronnie Lane. It was meant to be aired on the BBC, but instead the Rolling Stones withheld it. The Rolling Stones contended they did so because of their substandard performance, clearly exhausted after 15 hours (and some indulgence in drugs). There is also the fact that this was Brian Jones' last appearance with the Rolling Stones; he drowned some seven months later while the film was being edited. Some speculate that another reason for not releasing the film was that the Who, who were fresh off a concert tour, seemingly upstaged the Stones on their own production. Led Zeppelin was considered for inclusion but the idea was dropped. The show was not released commercially until 1996. Wikipedia
I don't think Led Zep was a band at this time. If they were, they were not an item at this time.

@@trajan6927 New Yardbirds?
@@TheAsiavol no, don't think so
Led Zeppelin was totally a band by Dec 1968 in fact Led Zeppelin 1 was already recorded and they had done a tour of the UK in October so i'm sure that word was already spreading about this new band. Jethro Tull were not a well known band at the time either and got invited so i'm sure they at least thought about inviting Led Zeppelin. Imagine a show with the Who the Stones John Lennon, Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin.
Wow a suite of songs that just works so well. Love this.
Thanks for the information about it being part of Rolling Stones Rock N Roll circus.
Second concert I ever saw was The Who in 1973. We walked out and just looked at each other and KNEW: that was it. That was the greatest concert we'll ever see, period. It was. No matter how great the band or the show, nothing...ever...got near the power and fury and grace of that concert. The Who is the greatest live band in the world.
I first saw them in 1968. Same thing. No band ever came close live. As a live act the Who were untouchable. And much of their greatness had to do with Moon. Never has a drummer added so much to a band's stage presence. So grateful this performance was preserved. The Stones may have shot themselves in the foot that night. Thank God they didn't burn the tapes.
I'm a Who fan and I've known the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus wasn't officially released for several decades because the Rolling Stones knew their performance at that gig was sub-par to The Who. But I would encourage everyone to go and watch the Rolling Stones performing "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the Rock and Roll Circus gig! Mick Jagger was a complete bad-ass in that performance! When I was young I used to play the "this band is better than that band" game. But as I've grown older I've learned I am so lucky to have been born in the period of time when I got to see all of these rock legends live! They are ALL great. Are the Stones better than The Who? Is The Who better than the Stones? Who cares, they're all great!
You should check out their earlier live footage when they would smash their instruments on stage. Some wild stuff
The concert performance of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and the studio performance of "Who Are You?" are just what The Who are performing. Just magic.
Yes, you need some more live Who. Some classics you've heard before like Won't Get Fooled Again, turned up several notches live.
We’ll keep pestering them 🎸
Thank You for the live performance of this song! A snapshot of time. The whole Show is a touch sad for many, since so many playing that night are gone. But the audio/video is great, a couple the Stones songs are maybe the best versions. Looking forward to more....all....from this show!
It's a time capsule and filled with joy....no sadness for me, I watch it often, as it celebrates an era long gone as well as all the performers, many who have left the planet and are sorely missed. Cheers me up every time!
This was right before they recorded their masterpiece, TOMMY. You should definetly do a full album review of Tommy for sure. The Who at the beginning of their creative peak. (1969-1973; Tommy, Live at Leeds, Who's Next, Quadrophenia) 🔥🔥🔥🔥
There was a time when the Who was the most powerful live band on the planet! This song was one of Pete's first story songs. Try ANY song from the original "Live at Leeds" and it's a BANGER!
The Rolling Stones' Rock n' Roll Circus was meant to be a Christmas special on BBC. It was a great showcase for live performances by the Stones (of course!), John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Jethro Tull, among others. Filmed in 1968, it was not released publicly until 1986. One reason the Rolling Stones didn't release it was because they were upstaged by The Who.
not released until 1996!
Lots of iconic rock stars in audience including John Lennon.. I seem to remember John on stage with Eric Clapton playing “Yer Blues”, from the White Album 💿 on this night.
If you liked that you have got to watch young man blues live at Isle of Wight one of there best performances
Seriously, you guys should watch The Kids Are Alright as a special event. You will love it. It’s been remastered.
They have it. Someone sent them the DVD.
Of course is it MANDATORY to react to The Who performing Won't Get Fooled Again live at Shepperton Studios. It's the version they recorded for The Kids Are Alright movie but it is probably their greatest live performance, even though it was Keith Moon's last performance.
The Shepperton Studios videos of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Who Are You" are great quality captures of their high-energy live performances. Some great behind the scenes of all 4 joking around during recording too. Kieth Moon going full Gonzo with headphones taped on to keep them on his head. This session is as good as when I saw them in their prime.
You should do the movie The Kids Are Alright, great performances and interviews and absolutely hilarious
It’s The Rolling Stones Rock n Roll Circus. It was shelved over a decade. Word was the Stones were disappointed their performance. Some wanted The Who (who were fresh off a tour n in great form) to buy it n call it The Who’s RnR Circus. . (Lennon n Yoko are there n he played Yer Blues in one of the first supergroups!)
"Yer Blues" from that film is amazing with Lennon, Clapton, Keith Richards and Mitch Mitchell.
It was shelved for more like 28 years! actually lost, and then finally located in somebody's barn.
Live at Leeds is epic, one of the greatest rock concerts of all time. I suggest to start with the original album, then cover the songs of the extended version of the album.
I think if John Entwistle wasnt anchored down the rest would just fly off into space! Incredible performance, favorite live band ever !
One of the best live performances by The Who is Young Man’s Blues live on the Isle of Wight (also the Live at Leeds is great too). There is a video of the Isle of Wight pweformance. It really shows of each individual’s talent. It also shows how a band can literally have a lead singer, a lead guitar , a lead drummer and a lead bassist each playing lead parts , which would sound like shit if performed by any other band, but sounds amazing! This is an incredible live performance that would blow you away!
Amazing Journey/Sparks is a must❤
The age old argument, which is the best live Sparks? For me it's Tanglewood.
The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was filmed over 2 nights in December, 1968 intended for broadcast on the BBC.Mick felt the Who blew the Stones off the stage so the program sat on the shelf for 20 years or so when it was released on VHS. What a magnificent revelation it was! You need to watch that entire show! Taj Mahal really rocks it!
This live version is one the Who's greatest moments. Blew everyone off the stage at the Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus. The Stones were merely OK that day, and the Who were so much better that the TV special was shelved and the recordings weren't available for years. I think this showed up the first time in the great 1979 documentary "The Kids Are Alright," which is must-see for anyone interested in the Who.
You have to check out The Who performing Young Man Blues
Keith Moon needs his own camera 😁❤️😂
What a great performance. Yes! But what a great composition . putting the story together was brilliance😀
More live WHO!!!!!!!!! The best way to review such a dynamic group.
This song was the climax of The Odessy… Penelope turning away suitors, with Pete’s modification, and Ulysses’ returns. And in Pete’s world he forgives any indiscretions. A story as old as time. But with the transcendent Keith Moon.
There is only one place to go from here... Isle of Wight, 1970. "Young Man Blues" live (video)
YES!!!!!! Keith breaks drum pedal on the very first roll and keeps playing while his roadie fixes it.
Saw them in late 1979, near Christmas time, and it was one of the absolute best concerts I ever saw
So happy you guys finally hit The Who live! Great reaction! Now imagine The Who taking the stage at 2am, in front of 600k, and there energy never dips for an hour and a half. That's their Isle of Wright show.
Yay!!! So glad you guys like The Who. First band I ever saw in concert. They are amazing!❤ Have you guys done Tommy yet? Give that record a listen. Also, please check out Rickie Lee Jones Last Chance Texaco. One of the best songs ever.
If we’re doing Rickie Lee Jones, please for godsake, start with Danny’s All Star Joint or Chuck E’s In Love. Last Chance Texaco is for a deep dive.
@@michaelkeane7211 I have the book. I love it!
