The Who are a great British rock band formed in London in 1964. They are considered one of the most influential rock bands of the 20th century & have sold over 100 million records worldwide. They have so many great songs such as "I Can't Explain", "The Kids Are Alright", "Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again", "Substitute", "Happy Jack", "I Can See For Miles", "Behind Blue Eyes", "Boris The Spider", "Pictures Of Lily", "Magic Bus", "Who Are You", "Pinball Wizard" etc.
This is early Who. By the mid 70's they had refined the show (a little). The best way I can think of to define a live Who performance is CONTROLLED CHAOS. The drummer was still a monster, the bass player nicknamed Thunder Fingers, the guitarist was still hopping around on stage and would smash the occasional guitar and the lead singer would swing the mic by the cord like he was getting ready to launch it into orbit.
Your witnessing the early energy wave that these 4 men were slowly building at that time. Remember the context of where music, consciousness and psychedelics were all merging together. That generation of musical energy was unique and a brief moment I feel lucky to have experienced first hand on so many levels. The camera never pans to john entwhistle killing it on bass. Great reaction! Peace
They were so young here, they might as well be a garage band...they turned into a rock monster. The Who are magnificent, although this song was so early it's not even close to being in that league. Try: Won't Get Fooled Again (ONLY the live at Shepparton Studios version, an amazing song with arguably the greatest scream in rock history); Baba O'Reilly (from the same place); Love, Reign O'er Me (studio version from Quadrophenia); and Who Are You (with the video of them making the song in the studio. Every one of these is a killer and a classic. A lead guitarist, a lead singer, a lead bassist, and a lead drummer. Rock doesn't get much better than this! Yup, late '60's, early '70's.
Both the Who & Jimi Hendrix were known for smashing their equipment. This posed a problem when they both appeared at Monterey in ‘67, as neither wanted to follow the other. They flipped a coin & the Who went first, smashing away. Jimi played later, & to top them, sprayed lighter fluid on his guitar & set it on fire. I always thought the Who was the first British Punk band. ✌️❤️🎶
This song was an early one for The Who. Just over 2 minutes when released. Their music got more sofisticated as time went on. They were considered pretty wild at the time.
I listened to this in high school. I'm 72. Pete Townsend is a musical genius AND big brain with novel, articulate ideas. Watch and listen to "Face the Face" and get your ears pinned back.
Say Hey Mug, I saw The Who do their 'destruction act' once out of the five times I saw them. It was 'shock rock' but man did they rock! Eventually they stopped wrecking everything and just decided to concentrate on being one of the great rock bands. I think one of the reasons they sound like garage rock to you is because they were essentially what was called a 'power trio,' like the band Cream. One guitar, bass, and drums. It's a more stripped-down sound than The Beatles or even The Rolling Stones.
The Who had a reputation for being wild in person. Their studio version definitely sounds better, but some would complain about not getting the raw energy of live performance (I am usually one of those). By mid 70s, their live performances, while still raw, were less chaotic and better for reactions. You need to hit the sweet spot of mid 70s, but before drummer Keith Moon's death in 1978. My picks for next reaction would be Baba O'Riley or Don't Get Fooled Again. You might recognize one of these when you hear them.
Watch their film Quadrophenia ( its not about the Who, its about a Mod in 60s England, but its by The Who productions.), great film and music. Reign o'er me, quality track.
The who was a hard rock band in the beginning yes they do sound like a garage band . I didn’t this one but they had some music I really like. And they would break their instruments.
If you really want to listen the Who's drummer, react to another great song of the who called "baby don't you do it" from the album Who's Next (deluxe version) i hope you can do it 👍
Now you have seen the finest rock drummer ever. Yes, I love Baker, Sutcliffe, Bonham, and the Pretenders have a drummer that kills it- but, Moon was the sh%t.
Keith Moon on the drums, greatest drummer ever born. Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass, Roger Daltrey on vocals. You will never find a more in tune band that rocks as hard. Have a look at 'young man blues' Apparently the hardest drum beat to learn for any drummer.

What about quadrophenia?
@@theonewhoknows2 That's an entire album.

The Who were a direct influence on garage rock, punk, metal, grunge and every form of hard rock that came after them. They wrote the book.
Every song by the Who has a cool drum line.

Yes Mugs the drummer is awesome.
The most awesome
My most favorite band of all time. Play anything from album "Who's Next"
Definitely among mine.

Greatest Rock Band Ever
The Who were originally Mods ( as in Mods & Rockers ). Won't Get Fooled Again is a great song by them
Ha! As a proud boomer, this was our anthem! Love it!
Keith Moon used to put gunpowder into the hi-hat, so that at the end of the show he could blow up the drums!

Baba Oreilly by The Who ! A MUST !
It was called Maximum R&B
Watch their film Quadrophenia ( its not about the Who, its about a Mod in 60s England, but its by The Who productions.), great film and music. Reign o'er me, quality track.
the world's loudest band. they called it "Maximum Rhythm & Blues"
Rock not rnb😂
@@DerekDerekDerekDerekDerekDerek R&B was Rhythm & Blues in 1960 when they played covers of Motown & blues
❤
I think the Who were forerunners of Punk

I love Baba O'Riley, that one may be more to your liking.
They had pretty bad sound for that song at Monterey, but they weren't generally what you'd call a garage band.
This is MOD music on the cusp of psychedelia
Do you feel it ?
Rabbit hole. Watch for suggestions you can’t go wrong.
Well, that was disturbing 😮
The Who always smashed up their instruments.
Need a new garage, I guess. . .
Sort of garage band sound, yeah. Some critics/musicians also kind of say Punk a decade before Punk. Decadent rebels!))
Keith Moon on the drums, greatest drummer ever born. Pete Townshend on guitar, John Entwistle on bass, Roger Daltrey on vocals. You will never find a more in tune band that rocks as hard.
Have a look at 'young man blues'
Apparently the hardest drum beat to learn for any drummer.
THAT’S how you let the audience know that the show is over.
I don't get the smashing up of instruments. It is pretty lame.
