RIP the two members of The Who John Entwistle (October 9, 1944 - June 27, 2002), aged 57 Keith Moon (August 23, 1946 - September 7, 1978), aged 32 You both will be remembered as legends.
@@ThighFish Cool. Mine is same as that Queen's Mercury guy you might have heard of, which doesn't exactly honor him, me being so dull and inconsequential.
You get the most prolific vocalist, the very best of drummers, the top shelf bassist, and the most gifted songwriter, all together in a band… = The Who
In the Spring of 1964, The Who a few years out of school, recruited Keith Moon and were playing small venues as an unknown band. Ten years later they sold out four nights at Madison Square Garden (that’s 80,000 seats) on the strength of one 60 second radio announcement. Not bad!
1:55 to 2:20 is the most beautiful and dramatic drum playing moment I have personally ever heard on a music recording. Unbelievably tasteful and electric. Moonie was a genius from the very beginning.
I agree. Considering the fact that it's a mono recording on limited equipment, Keith would sound colossal with modern recording techniques. Maybe that's part of the magic. It was all about performance in those days because you had to commit to tape and couldn't edit everything into a soulless homogenised sausage.
Everyone of these guys are the best in what they do. Keith Moon greatest drummer ever John greatest Bass player ever. PETE TOWNSHEND MUSICAL GENIUS and one of the greatest guitar players ever and Roger daltrey one of the best frontman ever. Put them all together and we have the greatest rock band ever THE WHO. Saw the who 5 TIME'S AND MY EARS ARE STILL RINGING AND I love it.
keith moon is absolutely in the top ten. Certainly better than Neil Peart's soulless robotics that everyone in the world seems to adore. This guy had more heart, talent, and volume than any drummer I've ever seen. Technical doesn't make better, but even if it did Keith Moon executed some of the most complex and intricate beats and fills ever.
This is honestly one of their best songs, up there with the stuff on Quadrophenia. It seems kinda deceptively simple and pop-fused, but it's actually genius and sublime
CapAnson12345 I think he means like a relaxing style, like in my generation its more of a rough and aggressive style, but in songs like these, or behind blue eyes, its got the beat style to relax the listener..... I don't know, if u feel relaxed during this song or behind blue eyes, then ud know its either the lyrics, or the drum style of the song (Soft or aggressive).....
Agreed. But he's also the worst mimer ever. Bar none. I understand the boyish rebellion of goofing a mime scenario but his relentless awfulness at it, especially when watching a whole bunch of Who promos and TV appearances is really annoying. It makes me wonder if that grace and flow within his astonishingly brilliant drum arrangements was always a one off. On these mimes, it's as if he has absolutely no idea of what he played.
blackmore4 true, he probably had a hard time remembering what he played in the studio as well i'm a drummer and i'll play the same song a little different every time i just go with my heart and the groove for that moment ...thus the accents turn out a little different each time, depending on my mood guitarists do that a lot too
I love the WHO once they grew up, but this is just generic bs, with future stars playing the instruments. For some reason, some paintings, of future masters are sold at very high prices, even though they are not yet in it self masterpieces. For me, this just spells, the people buying those pieces of "art", are "complete idiots". Buying this shit music as art, is the same as them overthinking genius was a personal trait, and I only hope music lovers are slightly smarter than art lovers. Then we could say this is generic shit, performed by future geniuses, instead of mislabeling it as art.
Said the music snob who's never written a song. You were listening to music before it was cool, weren't you? If this sucks please, give all the kids an example of "good music".
My uncle loved The Who, and got me and my brothers into them. He passed away a couple of years ago, and my brothers played this at his funeral. This is honestly so nostalgic.
The melody, the words, Pete’s beautiful chiming Rickenbacker guitar and not forgetting one of the world greatest rhythm sections, wow, what a song. When The Who got it right they really got it right ❤️
When you realize that this was written by a young, a VERY young Pete Townshend, it makes this song that much sadder. Just a beautiful piece of music all around.
Gotta love The Who, for being the silliest, clowniest, craziest.....yet at the SAME time skilled professionalists, musical geniuses, and detailed perfectionists. They're each like a bunch of extra drunk Mozarts on speed
Watching John Entwhistle effortlessly pluck away at that bass is mesmerizing. I know there are only brief flashes of him playing in this video but damn...I could watch it over and over just to catch those brief shots.
Me neither,but I had the football commentary on the radio the other Saturday when my team were visiting Newcastle and in the warm-up I recognised it coming off the tannoy at St James's Park and thought "ah yes,thanks for reminding me of this one".
My favorite part is after the solo and it goes to the end of the song and then it's "Sometimes" I know I gotta get away, about time I know I have to get away, and I know if I don't I go out of my mind better leave her behind"
Pete was an incredibly talented songwriter, and Roger brought the lyrics to life. John and Keith had ungodly abilities and chemistry. Without a doubt they redefined what a rock band looked like and set the stage for decades to come.
Keith Moon was a crazy drummer with originallity, good skills and sympathy. I love Keith Moon and he is still living everytime I listen The Who. Instead John Entwistle he is the best Bass player EVER!! Thunderfingers never die!
New TV Show "The Kids Are Alright" states this song is the inspiration for its title, set in early 1970s. That didn't ring a bell; I was "there" (1960s) so came to good ol' TH-cam for a reminder....uhh.. nothin'! I literally have never heard this song ever in my life! Was it played on AM radio (all we had in the 60s)? Or would i only know it if I had the album? (Couldn't have afforded it, some of those albums were over FOUR DOLLARS!!!)
this song is about the beatles. they even fashioned the song to sound like them but still keeping it the who. like someone else said it is underrated for sure.
In just a few short years The Who would go on to record one of rock's greatest live concerts and become a massive arena act by cranking up those big chords Pete's mini-windmilling to in this early video. Incredible! Amazing band.
Still mesmerized by this band which conjures up so many bitter-sweet memories of those days.... alive and entranced after all these years -- love them so much!
This was pretty much my anthem as a teen, and now as an adult it serves as a great reminder of what it is to be young and gives me patience when dealing with the wonderful world of teens.
Forgot how good this song is! Have early memories of The Who’s 60:s hits and Bowie’s covers. Rediscovered them in my 60:s. Thank you, thank you, thank you Pete for all the songs and what a great band, all members unique of their task. RIP Keith and John. I hope to see a stage performance of Tommy before I die! So glad I lived in your time.
Just a great, early song. they are all 21 years old and younger. Moon was such an innovative, original drummer. Even the way he holds the sticks is unique.
I believe this is the perfect three minute music video. The melody, the uplifting lyrics, the harmony, the four group members each with their distinct personality showing through. Not to mention the idyllic English boating lake and the "kids" just hanging out. Absolute perfection.
Wow i just got into the who and i totally love this first album and especially this song. It gives me beatles vibes, like this song could easily make it to Rubber Soul imo
Una canción preciosa, a la que nunca se le dio la importancia que merece. La busqué al escuchar "Helpless Dancer" en Quadrophenia, y desde entonces me enamoré de ella. Precioso el vídeo también, en sus comienzos. Gran banda los Who.
The Beatles were also freakin babies when they started up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they ranged from age 16 through 19 (not including ringo since Pete was in at the time). And I also believe by the release of the first album, they were average around 19- 23? Imagine performing for the queen at that age, these children lol. But yeah, the Who made it even younger, and ARGUABLY, they were just as much of geniuses as the Beatles......or just Pete at least. Keith and the Ox are fucking incredible, way above average players, but it's all technique. Pete wrote those operas by himself in his early 20's!
This song rings of so many other styles of the time, but is hardly derivative. The Who had the great gift of sounding completely original no matter what they fit into their arsenal. They weren’t The Beatles or The Stones or The Pink Floyd. They were the Mods, and they could see for miles and miles... 🎶
To me... this IS the Who.. who they are.. what they embodied.. what they became.. just look at the kids faces around them and the people in the water.. everyone was intrigued.. the young Who.. the power.. the energy.. put your minds in the context of back then.. NOT the now.. and you will understand... I have watched this video over and over.. I love it!!
I never knew the who was so damn good!! I just recently got into them and wow these guys are definitely underrated in my opinion!! They don't get the recognition they deserve!!
@@tricko8000 dude thank you so much for sharing that song to me!! I saw your comment a while back ago and gave a listen to that song and at first I hated it but after a few months it's grown on me and is now one of my favorite who songs!! I like that the song isn't just meat!! It has potatoes and a nice salad to go along with It lol if thst makes sense!! The song has a beginning middle and end. they build you up to the crescendo perfectly!! I love the pacing of the song!! It's over 7 Mins but it never feels long enough!!
Anyone out there who experienced the 1960s first hand, count yourself tremendously lucky!! This world will never have that kind of music again, ever!!✌
Resist the urge to become a finger-wagging, generation-bashing codger. No matter the State of the World, this song never fails to pick me up & is always True.

I get teary eyed watching how wonderful they were and reminding me of being young.

No. Music is timeless so don't regret when you were born.
Nostalgia is not painless. I'm 73. I know.
This song should never be overlooked. The Who were geniuses in a way that can never be repeated. And it's very cool how overtly British they were! 🇬🇧
Greatest rock group ever. They p^&^^d on the Stones and Zeppelin because basically, they had better songs. They weren't rooted in the blues.
What a masterpiece, no one married violence and sophistication like The Who, they had the best of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles.
They got maybe 5 good songs

1:55 to 2:20 is the most beautiful and dramatic drum playing moment I have personally ever heard on a music recording. Unbelievably tasteful and electric. Moonie was a genius from the very beginning.

i've seen you pretty much everywhere, you have good taste in music, my friend.

They had such ungodly beautiful harmonies and I don't think they get enough recognition for that.
They really didn't. They brought in a vocal group in the early days. Source: Ian Whitcomb.
Carrie Stetler It's just like your beautiful smile isn't getting the recognition it deserves :D
Listen to The Beatles
@@tommy1990gun I said the same shit
Carrie Stetler,, Keith Moon was a big surf sound fan, hence the harmonies.
Entwhistle was even a beast back then ... one of my favorite bassists!
Entwhistle said the most difficult song for him to play was Boris the Spider because of the constant one note
@@richardmccloud7500, I understand he wasn't too big on Baba O'Riiley, either.
Or magic bus he played a the whole song
Lemmy of Motörhead said he was the best bass player
The Ox
72 and still listening to this classic, one of there best.
Pure and insane drummer!! RIP Keith
the best bass player and one of the best drummers in rockn'roll together in the same band. amazing isn't it?

Keith Moon: 3rd Best Drummer

wasnt the beginning of it also at the end of a song on quadrophenia?

blackmore4 yo do realise he's faking it so badly in purpose?
I love the energy this songs has. To me it's on the level of the early Beatles stuff but all Who.
The Who changed well with the times. To go from a 60s pop harmony band to an iconic and unique rock band is nothing short of amazing.
I just love how in every music video they did they didn't even seem to give a shit if it synched up or not (especially Keith)
Bugs me how no one else could point that shit out! I find it fucking hilarious.

Entwistle either gave Daltrey a funny look, or told a quick joke at 1:31, making Roger bust up and get off time with the lip synch :)
Such A Great song! My Generation has got to be one of the Greatest debut albums ever!!
absolutely love this song. Great harmonies and just a good song. Keith moon playing drums at 2:10 is funny lol.
Haven't heard this song in forever. Was a favorite in my younger days. Love the part at 2:17!

0:35 “sometimes” - a small line in a brilliant song but great enough to make me feel compelled to comment on it
My favorite part is after the solo and it goes to the end of the song and then it's "Sometimes" I know I gotta get away, about time I know I have to get away, and I know if I don't I go out of my mind better leave her behind"

So refreshing in these dark days.
The Who made a lot of great songs, but this early one is just as good as any of them --- maybe even better. Infectious melody!

One of my favorite Who tracks. The melody and harmonies are simply divine, and shows what a brilliant songwriter Pete is.
Still my favorite The Who's song since I was 12, for almost 40 years!
This is simply one of the greatest pop/rock songs of all time.
I always loved Moon's style of holding the sticks. It's as if he just picked them up and started playing but how he played!

Anyone out there who experienced the 1960s first hand, count yourself tremendously lucky!!
This world will never have that kind of music again, ever!!✌
Robin Cortez it’s mind blowing . They. Can’t even make music anywhere close to this now a days if they tried.
@@dannyb982 This style of music still exists.
Look up The Young Veins or Nick Eng.
Yes the Kids were definitely alright back in those days it was pure talent Pete Townsend was a pure genius one of the greatest songwriters ever.
This is The Who, and power pop at it's best. Love it!
What can I say... its all about the drummer. He made that band...
Keith Moon definitely the greatest Rock drummer of all time.
Sorry to say but Phil Collins is my choice of drummers.
@@genekleppingerii3804 Danny Carey is mine
Bruce Gary of the Knack.
Resist the urge to become a finger-wagging, generation-bashing codger.
No matter the State of the World, this song never fails to pick me up & is always True.
+Charley Deppner Embrace it my man!
+Charley Deppner well said sir.
Go ahead, bash my generation, why don't they all F-F-F-Fade away!
