      I've long maintained that The Who was not a band, but four soloists who somehow made it work in a way no one before or since has been able to do. And after Moon's death, while they still may have called themselves The Who, they were never The Who again.

    Keith Moon was a crazy drummer. This was his last performance with the Who.
    He died of drug overdose on September 25, 1978.
    In this video, his headphones kept slipping so he got a Roadie to duct tape them to his head.

    When the Who were little boys, they lived in areas of England that were bombed during WW2. The performers that came out of England during this time had families the had been through 2 WWs. They had an energy and outlook that we in America know nothing about. To say that they were amped up and had a lot to say is a major understatement. They blew the back of peoples heads off when they hit the stage. Few every put on a show like The Who did. I saw them live in the early 70s. I am grateful every day for the generation of music that I was young when it all happened. I love your reaction to them. It was meant to be trippy.

    Back in the day when I worked for one of the biggest promoters in country we did "a few" Who shows. The most memorable for me was not the show itself but actually setting it up one time.
    It was on the 1982 "Farewell Tour", Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, AZ. Those big shows typically take about 5 days to build. We didn't get the stadium until 11 PM the night before the show due a football game. The Who's production manager and I got together a couple weeks out to figure out how to do it. We did. We put the show in in 16 hours. A record that I think probably stands to this day.
    Standing downstage center at 3 PM with my boss and co-worker, who just came in from the San Diego show, told security to open the gates over a Motorola radio. Our boss said; "You guys really did it. We can do this all the time." We laughed and told him he hasn't seen the bills yet. ;O)
    I was so tired I spent the entire show kicked back in the production office knowing we had to tear it all down almost as fast we put in. Don't remember reason for that. At the time I was too burnt out to care and that's saying something for a 26 year old.

      Hey, I was born in '81. What kinda sound board were you working with at that point? Did you have tubes in the pre-gain areas still? I've been thinking about that for awhile. Those Alen and heath boards of that time sound so good. Especially the Mic pre'. Even though you can get a similar tone with a tube mic pre now its just not quite the same. Especially when you have to mic up a drum kit...

      @@JasonB-g4m I wasn't a sound engineer. I did onsite coordination. Worked with bands production managers. So I can't speak specifically to that. Had a lot of Clair Bros & ShowCo sound systems represented at those shows. That was when the CB S4 speaker cabs were a big deal. 4 way, full range, easy to fly (hang). They were heavy though, ~425 lbs/ea. Ran into Crown & Phase Linear power amps quite a bit as well. Lots of Shure mics, SM58s & some Sennheiser, used on kick drums. Not so sure about the boards though. That was out of my wheelhouse as per any specifics. ;0)

      @@normandavidtidiman9918 Pete wasn't much for drugs after 1967, thanks to Owsley giving him some really strong acid for the flight home after Monterrey Pop. Soon after, he became a devotee of Meher Baba and gave up most drugs except drinking. He began binging on cocaine in the early 80s. Entwistle and Moon were likely out of their minds, Entwistle, one could never tell, hence his nickname The Ox. Daltrey just smoked weed, and they don't seem to count that, but Townshend doesn't mention smoking pot in the 70s, but was quite open about his use in the 60s at the time. That was mainly his stage presence. And at Shepperton they only played Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again for the Kids Are Alright documentary, the December 1977 Kilburn performance being deemed unsatisfactory due to Keith Moon's performance. This is pretty typical for Pete, maybe a little more energy since it was such a short performance.

      John and I try to begin each song together, about the same time that Keith starts his solo. Roger, of course, never misses his cues, so we don't have to worry too much about him. John and I just try to play fast enough so we can finish the song right about the same time Keith finishes his drum solo.

    This performance was one that was done specifically for the Who documentary "The Kids are Alright," which is maybe my favorite Rock documentary ever. The Who were well known for their performance on stage. What I love about version is it gives everyone a chance to see and experience The Who while still in their peak performing years. Count yourself lucky to have seen how great they were. That's how I feel whenever I see this.

    There is an AMAZING live performance that I have never seen a reaction channel react to it yet. Roger Daltrey of The Who performs with Queen at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium as they play " *I Want It All* ". Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath is also performing with them. You get to see Roger Daltrey in full-blown rock star mode causing the sold-out Wembley Stadium to explode with excitement as Queen and Tony Iommi are rocking out big time. Would love to see Sebs be the first reaction channel to react to this AMAZING performance!

    To suggest that there may have been some Colombian marching powder usage by the Who is the understatement of the decade! Moon the drummer was a complete alcoholic who, ironically, died of an overdose of Heminevrin, a drug intended to wean him off alcohol! He also enjoyed many, many other recreational drugs. Entwistle, the bassist, smoked like a chimney his whole life, drink prodigiously and died of a massive heart attack while enjoying the company of his exotic dancer girlfriend and more Colombian marching powder. Townshend (pronounced Towns end) ran the full gamut too…coke, smoking, a bottle of brandy a day and even heroin…amazingly he’s still with us as is Daltrey the singer who quit booze a drugs long ago as it screwed his voice. He’s fit as fuck and you wouldn’t pick a fight with him!
    PS…this gig was filmed at Shepperton Studios where the movie Alien was also being made…legend has it that some of the cast and crew were in the audience and were so stunned by the laser sequence at around 10 minutes, they asked if they could use it for the film!

    The Who was and remains the most dynamic rock act ever, period. They set the standard from the mid-60s on; their first appearance on US TV was on the Smothers' Brothers Show in 1967 and they shocked everyone (and blew up the drum kit). Their performance of "A Quick One While He's Away" from the long-unreleased 1968 "Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus" film is amazing, and their Woodstock set is epic. Just drop a needle anywhere on these guys; you'll see.

    My ex went to the R&R Hall Of Fame and brought me a tee that said, "If it's too loud you're too old", "School Of Rock" may have been influenced by Led Zeppelin. The Who's talent is just as deep. BTW the Vietnam War ended in 1973-74. Did you know that The Who performed at "The Concert For NYC" after 9/11. Sadly John Entwhitsle and Keith Moon (who is considered one of the best drummers ever) had passed. But, they played
    this song and Pete and Roger hadn't lost a lick of energy and The First Responders went nuts!!! I love The Who!

    LOL! I'm 56, I actually saw them back in 1976 when I was 9 years old!! My cousin, who was 18, took me with him to see them at the Boston Garden. My hearing was affected for at least a day. It was love at first sight and the Who had a new life long fan. I couldn't take my eyes off Pete the entire show. A friend of mine once asked me if I could sum up Rock N' Roll in one sentence and I said: Pete Townshend slicing his finger open while wind milling the opening G/A chord on "Won't Get Fooled Again." (actually, at 09:18 you can see the blood on Pete's right index finger, probably cut open from a windmill).

    • @bostonwhofan

      One night in 1989 in Tacoma, Washington, Pete was doing a windmill and accidentally ended up piercing his hand with the whammy bar on the guitar. Somehow it went right through his hand without breaking any bones or tearing any tendons. He required several stitches, but was able to continue with the tour.

    At Chicago's Opera House in 1971, they played the whole "Who's Next" album plus a few others. Before WGFA, they took a break, the lights went full black and they started with the organ in the black. When Townsend's first arm swing chord hit, all the lights came on and everyone was on their feet. It was an incredible performance that left me somewhat unable to hear clearly for 3 days. This whole album plus the "Who Sell Out" are the sound tracks of my life. 77yo now. Keep rockin', kids!!!

    Seeing The Who live was such a thrill, every time I saw them! It was 4 or 5 times in the early-mid 70s in Chicago at venues made for good sound. Keith Moon - one of the BEST drummers of all time. John Entwistle "The Axe" was a fantastic bass player (and he played the french horn in some songs, maybe other instruments too). Pete Townshend shreds a mean guitar , jumped around stage like a madman and wrote excellent songs. Tommy, the Rock Opera, is one of the BEST albums along with Who's Next. And Roger Daltrey had the perfect voice for all The Who songs he sang.
