Magic indeed, they do an amazing live version of this on Live at Leeds, one of the best live albums ever. Do it and the My Generation jam off it, Lex' head will explode from the power and glory of the WHO at their hard rocking best! Enjoy! The WHO are the pinnacle of ROCK! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Vic I agree with the live Magic Bus. I've seen the Who live maybe 8 or 9 times. The best Magic Bus I saw was sometime around 1995 in Atlanta. It was a slow tempo jazzy version that lasted about 25 mins. It eventually picked up tempo it was great. RIP Keith & John the Who has never the same or as good since your passing. LONG LIVE ROCK !!!
Bought that when it came out and was around my 4th or 5th rock album I ever owned. Still have the ole “manilla folder”!
Everything at Live At Leeds ROCKS the house down, burns it down, however you wanna put it! 🎼🎸✌️
That same year they played the Isle Of Wight Festival and there is film footage .. The only thing better than hearing The Who live in 1970 is seeing The Who live in 1970.
Right on brother. 1970 live at leeds
Pretty straight forward. Wants the bus that takes him to his babe.
I was born in '64 and heard these songs growing up. Just enjoyed them without analyzing them. If you didn't know a word or words, you made up your own and enjoyed moving forward. Music is a drug for the soul 💖
that is not possible w/Brad. I still make up words to songs 50plus years old.
“It could be about drugs.”
“Or the music is the drug.”
No, guys. It’s about a bus.
Although if someone wanted to argue it was also about sex, I’d allow it. 😂
@C Summers They should be more specific. “This song is about Xanax and that one is about Viagra. And this song is about overdosing on Jordan Peterson.”
@C Summers I dont think they are Gen Z. That would be too young (8-23 years old ). This couple looks to be Millennials (25-40 years old).
Born in 70. Heard these songs as someone shared them with me. This was the most amazing song I heard that day.
A lot of hippies back then used to take old school buses and make them into little trailer homes, or tour buses for beginning bands.
This hippie folk rock and psychedelic music which was very popular for the '60s and '70s. Folk music has been around forever like 1700s. Acoustic music and friendly singing and chants. Its just that it became mixed in with rock music. Folk rock. Hippies used to drive around in buses and vans too.
Back in the day this song was all about getting your first car- which was a big deal. Every time it came on the car radio everyone started beating the dash, the seats, their knees in time with the music and the driver drove real fast as everyone sang the chorus! Good times. I've seen the Who perform Magic Bus live and they never do it the exact same way twice, always different, it's like a jam song for them.
I always thought it was because he didn't have a car and he took the bus to his girlfriend which made the bus "magic" paying six pence to take it.
@@bluebird3281 You're probably both right - the last stanza is 'now I got my magic bus' and is driving his woman around, which probably doesn't mean he literally bought a bus, but more likely got his own car.
Ken Kesey and The Merry Pranksters introduced the world to LSD. They travelled the country in 1964 in a "magic bus" named Further painted in psychedelic and dispensing LSD along the way. Always thought that was the inspiration for this song and The Beatles Magical Mystery Tour
Furthur.
My Dad knew, Ken Kesey.
Kesey wrote, "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest".
Tom Wolfe wrote, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test", which chronicled the 1964 bus trip, of "Furthur", and The Merry Pranksters.
It was a landmark event, of the counterculture movement.
My Dad, accidentally, started The Flower Children. I'm not sure, if he met Kesey, before going out to a commune, in the woods, or after.
1968, its psychedelic Bo Diddly
From documentaries I've seen in the past, "folk music" as a category really took off in the 30's with a boost from radio and as a reaction to the Great Depression.
The version from "Live at Leeds" is incredible. Takes this song to a entire different level. Best live LP of all time in my opinion.
..."Class of 76"...The School Bus was the favorite mode of transportation for free spirited long hairs of the era...You could get on or off but while you were on you helped with either Gas, Grass or Azz...every day was a vacation where the bus traveled this way or that...every nite was a party where the bus stopped here or there and as long as it wasn't raining the group went to sleep anywhere under the stars...it was a magical trip that everyone was sharing on "The Magic Bus"
This song was written by their guitarist Pete Townshend during the time that their debut album My Generation was being recorded in 1965. However, it was not recorded until 1968, when it was released as a single on 27 July 1968 in the United States and Canada, followed by its release in the United Kingdom on 18 September 1968. It has become one of the band's most popular songs and has been a concert staple, although when released, the record only reached number 26 in the UK and number 25 in the United States.
The song was not recorded by the Who at the time it was written, but the band's management and music publisher circulated a Townshend demo recording of the song in 1966. A version was released as a single in the UK in April 1967 by an obscure band called the Pudding, in the UK on Decca and in the US on London's Press label. It was not a hit. Cash Box said that it has "a rhythmic reminiscence of 'Bo Diddley.'"
The song is usually performed as a duet, where the "Rider", usually singer Roger Daltrey when live, is riding on the bus every day to see his girl. In the song he asks the "Driver", usually Townshend, if he can buy the bus from him, with the driver's initial answer being no. After haggling for a while, the driver finally lets him have it and he vows to drive it to his girlfriend's house every day.
(Wikipedia)
Townshend has very few equals as a composer. Versatile and always thematically creative and interesting.
I agree! He's easily on a par with Brian Wilson, Lennon/McCartney, Frank Zappa...
"When did Folk start?" LoL, you guys are adorable. You should check out the Live version of this song from "Live at Leeds". It's absolutely epic!
Lex, your genuine reactions are priceless.
Brad, you're lucky to do this. Keep up the good work.
60's guy here. The 'magic bus' was your favorite drug, but usually weed. Brad, that VW 'van' was called a micro bus.
The person who makes this song is Keith Moon. His percussion brings life to it.
His intro on the Live at Leeds version is pure fyre.
wpl8275 Keith Moon dominated every Who song because he was. without doubt, the best drummer of all time,
listen to the end of 'My Generation' which is an average track but sadly the drumming at the end is always phased out on the radio or TV
or just concentrate on any Who track and just listen to the drumming! it is remarkable!
Folk music has been around for as long as there has been folks and music. American pop culture has had two major periods where folk music was prevalent. The first was during the great depression, when artists like Woody Guthrie sang socially conscious songs to protest the inhumanity and the poverty caused by laissez faire capitalism, and then again during the turbulent 60s when it spoke our against the war in Vietnam, and social injustice at home.
this song is a masterpiece. Band charisma for days on what could have been just a simple pop song if done by someone else
It's kind of charming how Brad is always looking for deeper meaning, which sometimes causes him to miss extremely obvious lyrics like these. He's taking a bus to see his girl, Brad! It's magic because he digs the girl!
folk music started in the 20's? and was popular in the 50's with the beatniks, and early 60's had a lot of folk music. this song would be about either a London double decker bus or a country bus, that would run a route past his house and near his girlfriends house, which was where the 'magic' really was.
I see this as a typically off-kilter Who love song. The bus, a normal bus, is "magical" because it takes him to his lover. There's a transference going on, with the love for his girl becoming his love for the bus that delivers him to her. Great song.
When did Folk start? True 'Folk' is prehistoric, dude! The song s about taking the public bus line (every day I get in queue) to see his baby. It has a classic Hambone rhythm, which gives it a pre-antebellum, deep south folksy feel. It is an early composition of Pete Townshend, but never got recorded until 1968.
Hey back in the day took old school or any bus they could get and made it into a magic bus the hippies loved them just look at Woodstock it was a really big thing to do that back in the day and also to custom out your van with shag carpet and have a bed in the back with a bumper sticker that said: "If the van is a rocking don't bother knocking"!
Brad-- the Newport (RI) Folk Festival began in 1959, during the "Folk Revival" ... In 1965 Bob Dylan was booed for "going electric" and in 1968 The Who released "Magic Bus", written by Pete Townsend. Folk has been around a long time.
folk has been around as long as humans have been singing
@@scambammer6102 Yeah, but with the advent of radio, popular folk became a big thing in the 30's with people like Woody Guthrie. I'm not the phrase "folk music" was really an expression before that although the rudiments of the music were there before.
The magic bus is exactly what it is, a vehicle, a bus. He wants to buy this bus from the reluctant owner so he can see his girl. The Who songs are literal like that.
Brad, you got it...
He was singing about a Volkswagon Van referred to as a Volkswagon Bus.
With beds inside, and speakers mounted into the back doors. So they could be swung open and music could be shared at outdoor parks, beaches, or wherever.
yeah, "Magic Bus" is LSD. Roger Daltry's words gives it away......"..... Everytime I get this way! I get on the bus that takes me away!!....."......
A VW microbus!
Actually that Volkswagen van, here in Germany, is usually called VW Bus.
Double-decker across early 60s London
Folk started much farther back, check out the jam session in Ringo Starr's movie 'Cave Man "
In the 70's I owned a 1960 VW microbus AKA van As you can imagine it had a giant peace sign painted on it's nose , and large hand painted flowers on both sides in many color's. That was my magic bus! lol
So glad you did the studio recording of this awesome song from 1968 rather than the "Live at Leeds" recording that so many people hail. It just doesn't hold a candle to the studio recording. Probably my favorite Who song. It just sounded so good coming out of those AM radio speakers that we all heard it on back in '68.
THIS IS GREAT TRIPPY PSYCHEDELIC WHO YOU GUYS!!! 😊
Folk music has been around for a long time. The song Matty Groves, was recorded by Joan Baez in 1962 and by Fairport Convention in 1969 among others. The original song has been around since 1612. The Fairport Convention version is well worth a listen.
Ken kesey and the Merry Pranksters had a psychedelic school bus they traveled around in. They called it the magic bus. I don't know if that's what the song is about but It's definitely a 60s thing.
And then the Beatles released Magical Mystery Tour trying to capture the "bunch of hippies tripping in a psychedelic painted up bus ride". Something was in the air, oh wait, that's Thunderclap Newman.
It is certainly a reference to LSD
Folk started in the 50s, sort of. This sounds folk because it's pretty much acoustic. Electrified version is Live at Leeds. Classic.
Blue bus is the magic bus, they pick u up when u get totally crazy, This is the famous bo diddley rythm, about 1-2% of rock is in this rythm. And this is one. It is actually a kind of a fast paced rhumba
rythm making its way from carribeans to the north to chicago thanks to Bo Diddley
.
This always reminds my of the Live at Leeds version of Magic Bus. Both great - but the POWER on Leeds....!
It’s written with a “Bo Diddley beat”. That’s the chugging rhythm made famous but the rock & blues artist Bo Diddley. Other songs with that kind of beat are Not Fade Away by Buddy Holly (covered by the a Rolling Stones…and dozens of other bands), Who Do You Love (George Thorogood & others), American Girl Tom Petty & THBs, She’s The One by Bruce Springsteen, Panic In Detroit by Bowie. There are many many more that use Diddley’s very influential beat
should add "Desire" with u2
Who Do You Love is an original by Bo Diddley. George and all the others are covers.
Also known as...the "shave-and-a-hair-cut...TWO! BITS!" rhythm. Or the Burundi Beat.
@@richdiddens4059 actually I forgot that..Thorogood’s cover would be most familiar to most but it’s also been played ad-nauseum.
@@Itelkner I get it. I’ve only known it as A reference to Bo because so many rockers were directly influenced by him.
Growing up in the 1960's Bay Area I remember the Magic bus that ran from the Haight-Ashbury in San Francisco, down Skyline and through Boulder Creek to Santa Cruz. Hippy paint job and a free ride, donations appreciated. Never rode it but remember watching it cruise through.
VW made a van that many Europeans called a bus. My Air Force uncle was stationed in England in the early to mid 70s. They had such a vehicle. The bus here is referring to public transportation.
Folk music has been around forever. The kind of American Folk that we think of today...the kind that influenced Rock music via Bob Dylan...started most notably with Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger in the 30's during the Great Depression. The acoustic guitar gives it that Folk sound but the rhythm is pure Bo Diddley. "Magic Bus" has the distinction of being Pete Townshend's favorite Who song to play live....and John Entwistle's least favorite.
That was old Who. Really old. Love it.
Check the picture in your thumbnail! The magic bus is magic because it gets him to his baby each day. I WANT IT!!! Live at Leeds will give you a greater appreciation of this song and The Who!
Maestro Fresh Wes - Let Your Backbone Slide
It is just about a guy taking public transport to see his girl who he is head over heels in love with.
The live version from Live At Leeds is a loud electric rockin jam.
This woman has such a natural sweat and cute smile, I enjoy that as much as the music.
Pete Townshend wrote "Magic Bus" in 1965. The Who recorded it in 1968 and released it as a single. The cover of their 1968 album, Magic Bus: The Who on Tour, pictured the band climbing around on a old London double decker bus painted over with flowers of many different colors psychedelic hippie style. I inherited a copy of it in the early eighties. The other choice track from it is "Pictures of Lily". Folk music enjoyed a revival in the US in the early sixties -- Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Peter, Paul & Mary, Odetta...
You need to listen to the way they perform this on their album Live at Leeds. I can’t explain how good it is. Even people of my generation haven’t come up with anything like it. You may have been fooled by comments like this before, but I promise that after you give this a listen, you won’t get fooled again.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Sometimes a Magic Bus is just a Magic Bus. It's Magical because it takes him to his "BABY". THE ONE HE LOVES.
I always thought it was very straightforward. It's magic, because it takes him to his baby every day.
Live at Leeds is the best way to hear this song in its Maximum R&B form. And it's just about a bus, a lad and his girlfriend.
I almost forgot about that epic album. My copy came with a bunch of paperwork of Who history.
@@ed.z. Yeah, the inserts are fascinating, especially the bills showing how The Who were making no money (until Tommy was released). And what an album!
Folk was at its height in the '60s! That was when American artists like Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Peter, Paul & Mary, and a bunch of others were writing folk songs, playing coffee houses in places like Greenwich Village in NYC and building the foundations of the late-'60s hippie culture. The Who were British, and picked up on that vibe for this song.
LOVE THE WHO!
Just because there’s an acoustic guitar does not make it folk music. Folk music has to do with the lyrics. Usually old mountain songs passed down through generations. Each country has their own folk music. It’s the music of the people. This is definitely rock ‘n’ roll. He’s using the Bo Diddley beat for his rhythm. You can’t get more rock ‘n’ roll than that. You should check out the live version. No acoustic guitar in that one.
In the late 1960’s, Mr. Bender was my nursery school bus driver. He drove a powder blue VW bus.
“Some people call these folk songs. All the songs I’ve heard in my life was folk songs. I never heard horses sing one of ‘em yet.” - Big Bill Broonzy
"Thank you driver for getting me here, too much the Magic Bus". It is about a bus, and lots of folks have buses. Ever seen folks who get an old School Bus, paint it up, fix up the inside and go on a tour of the USA, or wherever they happen to be. Saw a lot of them when the Grateful Dead were on tour, a very popular and cheap form of transport. "Too Much The Magic Bus!"
One of the first songs by The Who. It was released in either 1966 or 67, when the teenage rebellion began. Again, drugs, Vietnam war, rioting in the streets across America etc. This is the beginning of America, losing its innocents. The turbulent 60s, as they were called, in full force, and the music reflected all of it.
He rides the bus to his baby each day where he drives her "everyway".
like a double dutch or slap hands type of beat.
trip=tripping
Killer song especially the live version from the album-- The Who live at Lee's from 1970. 🤟🤟👍
No hidden meanings. Just a lot of teenage fun.
The version from the live album is incredible…… ''Live at Leeds'' one of the greatest live albums ever….It won't even sound like the same song.
it has that Bo Diddley beat
The Who had a pretty good range of music. Everything from stripped down rock to theatrical rock opera to punk rock and heavy metal before punk rock and heavy metal existed.
It was always my understanding that this song was about Ken Casey and the merry pranksters who converted a school bus so they could travel east from (I think Washington state) to go to the world's fair. There were microphones on the inside amd outside of the bus and they would mix the sounds together and play them back inside and outside of the bus. Casey was an avid user of LSD as were his followers and he believed he could control their trips so they would all be on the same trip at the same time. He would put LSD in O.J. to dose everyone. The actual bus is on loan to the Smithsonian in D.C.
Just started our channel with the Who Substitute. Love your reactions. We gave you a shout out. Thanks for the insperation and great tunes.!!!😃🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hey Brad and Lex. The Who are always fun! Another cool song of them is Substitute, one of my favs when i was 15 😬🤙.
On another topic, i wonder if you guys have ever reacted to Eva Cassidy. She was known for her incredible versions. Unfortunately she died Young but still left a huge admiration. She was really something else. My fav versión from her is people get ready 🙏.
Be well, best regards.
Damn Lex you are a lot like my Granddaughter. It's so cool when she gets into my records (vinyl). She is probably the only kid in her class that knows how to operate a record player. She has been getting into The Who lately. Kinda really got to her with their musicianship.
Some times a bus is just a bus : )
Talk about a weird association. His vocals at about 2:39 reminded me so much of Mose Allison - Parchman Farm, that I had to go listen to that to compare. Instead I found a 4 minute video discussing that song where they said, "It was the first of his songs to have an impact on the emerging 1960's British rock scene." And then they included none other than Pete Townshend discussing how Parchman Farm was on the jukebox at a cafe he frequented. So maybe that was an influence on the singing style in part of this song. "Who" would have guessed it?
The earlier The Who song the better I like it! This is one of their best! 💥
Brad & Lex, you'll love their song "5:15"!!!
Folk music has been here since folks have!
It's a magic bus because it takes him to the love of his life. Can't get that smile off his face, just another mile to go. He loves her so much, he wants to buy that bus so he can see his baby every day. He wants it. He wants it. He wants it.
"You are either on the bus or off the bus."
Man im waiting for the "strawberry fields forever" reaction, here or on rumble. Love your channel!
One of my favorite bands. This is good, early brilliance from them.
Folk music started when humans first started making music.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Vans quite often were called "busses"...like the old VW van.
MY magic bus was the 38, a double decker onmibus that ran between Salisbury and Christchurch. (UK) In the days before I had a car. The three shillings and sixpence fare would now be around £4. When my parents moved house it was a Train then a bus. Young Love!!!
The Who have a great bunch of songs from this period in their career. "I'm A Boy", "My Generation", "Pictures Of Lilly", and "Boris The Spider" for start.
here in the UK, folk goes back hundreds of years. there have been folk festivals for goodness knows how long. a lot of modern British rock music has connections to folk, just as it does to the blues, which many British artists just saw as the black people's folk, that is, songs about ordinary people's experiences of everyday life, together with musings and philosophising
There is a radio station in Chicago that used part of this to promote their magic bus during the summer and soft drinks and maybe snacks, Animal stories mobile units replaced them though.
“Even though it’s not about a Volkswagen, the song written by guitarist Pete Townshend has become an anthem for Volkswagen bus owners all over the world. A long-standing patron of the Teenage Cancer Trust, lead singer Roger Daltrey and Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles have created a Magic Bus that would be raffled for more than £30,000 ($36,300). Of course, all that money went to charity. Based on a 1965 panel van from the first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2, this fellow here was adorned by graphic designer Richard Evans, who worked closely with the band for over four decades.” Auto evolution
This was early Who, when they were still primarily a singles band. Townshend did a completely realized version of the song as a demo, and the band was supposedly intimidated by it. I think it was their manager Kit Lambert that finally forced the issue, and the band recorded this great song.
Brad “ who owns a bus ? “ TH-cam “ Partridge family” . Love buses were the big deal back in the day! Also be sure to check out some of Pete Townsend’s solo stuff!
That psychedelic happening on wheels. Yeah!
Volkswagen did literally call theirs a "microbus" because it was specifically designed to carry passengers, rather than cargo. Thus, a miniature bus. In fact, there was no version with a rear door, because they had a rear engine. No other can manufacturer made a similar vehicle, so the term remained unique to them, rather than falling into widespread use. Today we would call it a "minivan" but that term didn't exist then. Back then the term "van" only applied to cargo.
Minivans started becoming popular because car manufacturers dropped a passenger body on a truck chassis they were already making for a pickup. Thus they got to use the same chassis for multiple vehicles. However, these early minivans had an extremely rough ride unless they had a lot of weight in the back (like a pickup). Thus they later switched minivans over to use a car chassis, with passenger car suspension.
I hadn't heard that in so long, great song. Actually every song on this Eaty Meaty Big and Bouncy album is great. Check out Pictures of Lilly and Boris the Spider.
🍄🍄🍄💥👍😎
5. The Who
Thanks for the selection. Look at some live Who. I'm no aurhority, but back to studio recordings, I still love Happy Jack mostly for the drums and listen to Quadrophenia almost all the way through about twice a year. Lots of greatness to explore.
I can see for miles is a great Who song
Brad: It's a homage to the Routemaster en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Routemaster and/or the RT en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Regent_III_RT Classic (Magic) busses.
Next "Happy Jack" - you won't understand that at all 😁😁 or "I'm A Boy" - that's pretty straightforward.
The 1970 album Live at Leeds magic bus version is like night and day! A great song made greater live!
That album has anyway, anyhow, on it, should be considered
fun to watch you guys!!!
Great reaction! Loved the Who growing up.
