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.
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!
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!!!)
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".
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
I once tricked a whole crowd into liking The Who, by making them think this song was The Beatles. It was at a party, where most there were very prejudiced against The Who (or any good rock) without having tried them. I stuck on 2 early Beatles songs (Hard Day's Night, and I can't remember the other) then slid this song in 3rd. Everyone thought it was great _ especially the drums (in the non-vocal bit) in the middle. They were surprised not to have heard that "Beatles" song before. Then I triumphantly told them Who it really was.... ;-)
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.
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.
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... 🎶
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".
@@sludge4125 At least I am. I still believe that the Kids are Alright. The grousing about young people reminds me of the flack I got when I was young. It was bullshit then and it's bullshit now. I'm 65 BTW.
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.
I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright I know if I go things would be a lot better for her I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl That's fine, I know them all pretty well But I know sometimes I must get out in the light Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away Bells chime, I know I gotta get away And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright The kids are alright
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.
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 this started playing ramdonly in my spotify, I honestly thought it was The Beatles, since I had never heard this song before. Well, until I heard the drumming.
After The Beatles became such a gigantic hit in 1964, there were a lot of bands copying the same general Beatles sound. It was the sound of the times. I can't think of man similar bands off the cuff, but one of the now lesser known ones was "Grapefruit." I suppose you could also count Australia's well-known "The Easybeats," too. I'm trying to think of another one who had big hits, but all I can remember is reading of them, I think in a cigarette ad from a vintage magazine. I'm not that old, I just sometimes read old Popular Science or Car magazines.
@@101Volts The only thing Beatlish about this is Townsend's Rickey. Other than that, to me, not so much. The Who were great in a different way, for sure!
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"
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!
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.
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.
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.
+Joe Dubya he certainly looks much better than he did in the late 80s! But you're right, I think he's still very handsome at 70, it's the eyes, the smile and most of all his charisma, which has made him look great all through his life (even with the terrible 89 ponytail)
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
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.
I'd like to think so, but there's the problem of dead insurance agencies. Long destroy the drums (or anything remotely looking like drums) and messing around with journalists. No explosives, you randy bastards.
Sorry. I didn't mean to describe bastards as all being randy, just the ones here what won't bash up their stuff. That includes children of married people.
Pete Townshend, master songwriter from day one
I just had this revelation: The Who are the best band in the world. Apparently I had it wrong all along. But it's true.

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"
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!
1:18 Love how the Ox is playing with his fingers, and it cuts to him playing with a pick.
Probably just wanted to see what a pick was good for.
absolutely love this song. Great harmonies and just a good song. Keith moon playing drums at 2:10 is funny lol.
My anthem growing up in the late 70s before The Jam. Fantastic
One of my favorite Who tracks. The melody and harmonies are simply divine, and shows what a brilliant songwriter Pete is.
God almighty the best band ever
I could have told you that now you know
The Kids Are Alt-Right Are you actually a supporter of the Alt-Right?
+The Kids Are Alt-Right Get the fuck off of The Who's shit then.
God all mighty, but that is all right.

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.
This song is one of my favourites from The Who. They played it in Paris 2023. I wasn't expecting that. The opening chord blew my mind.
THE WHO - THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT - KILLER TRACK ! ABSOLUTE LEGENDS !
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.
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.
its like a mix between "a hard day's night" "please please me" and "all my loving" of The Beatles
Pete would kill you if you say that in front of him lol
My favourite Who song. Recorded at Battersea Fun Fair Park in 1965.
The entirety of Quadrophenia.
song was recorded in 1965. This promotional film was recorded in Hyde Park 1966
malcolm coghill,
no,this song was recorded in ibc studios marylebone,the video was shot at the serpentine hyde park.
@@jackjc1447 Maybe the next thing you will say that the Who were not Mods ! Tee Hee
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.
RIP Keith moon
Gone but never forgotten
1:22 John was literally a wizard on bass. His pick appears out of thin air
Keith was just 19 when this album was recorded, master
Possibly the best single of all time
Keith brilliant .Still get goosebumps listening to him on A Quick One While He's Away on Live at Leeds .
One of my favourite WHO songs and, Pete has written some unbelievable songs. He is the master.
I must say, Townshed has aged rather gracefully. He doesn't look bad now as a grandpa: just saw him in a magazine, and looks good for his age.
+Joe Dubya he certainly looks much better than he did in the late 80s! But you're right, I think he's still very handsome at 70, it's the eyes, the smile and most of all his charisma, which has made him look great all through his life (even with the terrible 89 ponytail)
Roger aged better than Townsend. But they still look pretty good for their age
@@omnom338rules4 yeah, to bad it wasn’t the case for John and Keith. R.I.P.
GOD BLESS THE WHO ! KEITH MOON WAS ONE OF THE BEST DRUMMERS OF ALL TIME ! THE BAND WAS INCREDIBLE !
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
Omg why am I just now discovering the greatest of this song?!
Hahaha very funny. How are you doing today?
O que importa é que você descobriu
beautiful writing, great song, the Kings of their world singing in a London park in the 1960s.... ACE The Who
first part of the vocal melody reminds me of "I'm just happy to dance with you" by The Beatles.
So I was not the only one! :D
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.
I WANT THAT BASS!!!
Mod as Mod can be!!!!
There is a Pic of the who actually performing it in the park in coulor
Oh Moon looks so ...constrained. Free Moonie!
+George Mortimer Don't worry the kid is alright
+George Mortimer :(,
+Angus Davies I'm sure after they shot this they let him go to a room with some drums to destroy.
I'd like to think so, but there's the problem of dead insurance agencies. Long destroy the drums (or anything remotely looking like drums) and messing around with journalists. No explosives, you randy bastards.
Sorry. I didn't mean to describe bastards as all being randy, just the ones here what won't bash up their stuff. That includes children of married people.
Rock and Roll made to sound pretty. A terrific song.
Love these young mods in B & W!!!!
