Sadly, Keith Moon had passed away about 3 years before this record.
This was the band's first recording with new drummer, Kenney Jones.
A great track!
Yeah good song, but would have sounded so much better with Keith. Kenny Jones was just a competent drummer, nothing more nothing less. Under a Raging Moon had better drummers than Kenny and I never understood why the Who went with such a pedestrian drummer.
@@ashocck8065 Kenny was good with The Small Faces and Faces. Not fair to call him pedestrian, just a different style. He wasn't Keith Moon but not easy to find a drummer who played like Keith.
I read somewhere that Keith Moon died in the same apartment that Mama Cass (from the Mamas and the Papas) died in. At different times.
@@ashocck8065 He was a friend.
@@ednicholson7839, very true. Kenney was quite the wildman himself, as the live version of The Faces I’m Leaving You demonstrates. I never understood why he didn’t cut loose more in The Who, but he was an amazing drummer, nonetheless.
Paul McCartney was very confident. He said that The Beatles had 2 of the 3 best songwriters in the world. When asked who was the 3rd, he replied, "Peter Townsend"
Pete Townsend did almost all of the actual songwriting for The Who. He truly is masterful at it!
One of the best popular composers of all time. Hell just Tommy by itself makes him a legend.
Pete is brilliant.
Quadraphenia is a masterpiece!
P.s. love the name. Dan fan?
Rough Boys by Pete Townshend 🔥🔥
One of the greatest bands of all time. In their prime they were one of the greatest to see live in concert.
There's a plaque here in Cincinnati at the stadium where all the fans were trampled. A sad day but not at all the fault of the band. I stumbled across it one day - I'd completely forgotten that happened here.
@@LiberalsArePoop Townshend and Daltrey went back there recently and did a concert. Was emotional for obvious reasons.
I had the pleasure of seeing them live in Swansea 1976 The Who Put The Boot In Tour. You can read a lot about it online and the whole set was recorded and available on CD and Vinyl I believe..Great Memories of an amazing day
One of my favorite Who songs!! One slight correction, though - the drummer on this track is Kenney Jones. Keith Moon died in 1978, and this song came out in 1981.
Yes the brilliant Kenny Jones from The Small Faces. Please Please Please play some of their recordings I have been requesting them for ages. Stevie Marriot's voice is amazing. Tin Soldier would be a good place to start.
@@robdee9341 Kenny Jones from The Faces
@@luvlgs1 Yes Kenney Jones started with the Small Faces then went on to The Faces and on here he is with The Who..
@@robdee9341 Tin Soldier is their best track. A classic
@@flyingburritobro68 They also inspired Led Zeppelin. Have a listen to Come On Children.
Jay & Amber, you'll love their "5:15" and "Love Reign O'er Me"!!!
I’ve given up requesting those
Also The Real Me
The pinnacle of their career
@@donclements1056 one of my favorite Bass tracks of all time.
@@jamison8185 and drums are fire
great that you picked up on the line " ...drunk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex..." but you missed the bit "..and Who's Next..." Who's Next being the title of their classic album containing Baba O Riley, Won't Get Fooled Again and Behind Blue Eyes. Great reaction guys 👍
And Bargain and Love Ain't for Keeping and My Wife and The Song is Over and Getting in Tune and Goin' Mobile!
Pete has said the "Who's next?" Line in this song was musing on T-Rex singer Marc Bolan's death and wondering who would be next.
@@stevemercer6976 Actually, Keith Moon had already died. "Who's Next" is an allusion to that, and also to who could be next.
@Vern Sherris then let us not forget the remainder: Let's See Action and The Relay! I'd also add Entwistle's fantastic Heaven and Hell and When I Was A Boy.
I thought the line was “I’ve got your body right now on my mind,as I jerk myself blind to the sound of old T-Rex.
Kenney Jones, The Who's drummer after the death of Keith Moon, is on this track. Jones, formerly of The Small Faces and then The Faces, would last through two albums before The Who would break up in 1983. The band would sporadically get back together ( once for Live Aid in 1985 ) until 1996 when they reformed with a new drummer, Zak Starkey, who is the son of Ringo Starr.
I saw them then Starkey was phenomenal.
Interesting is in the interviews around the Tommy stage run featuring Billy Idol, Elton John, and Phil Collins, Phil says he called Pete Townshend after Moon died and said he'd like to join the band. Pete said something like, we have this guy Kenny Jones who has been filling in for Moon. What a change in rock history if The Who took him up on that!
The fun thing about Zak is when he was learning how to play, one of his teachers was "Uncle Keith" Moon and of course his father.
@Vern Sherris Simon was with Pete alot oh his solo stuff. Same with Pino Palladino, who did bass with Pete. Apparently he was called after Entwhistle died.
you missed the 1989 tour, which I saw in Birmingham UK, where they had the amazing Simon Phillips playing drums, who Pete Townsend called the memory man
"And I look pretty crappy sometimes" has always made me laugh, ever since this song came out back in 1981.
First time I heard this song was on the opening day broadcast of MTV August 1st. 1981. This was the 4th video ever played.
'Won't Get Fooled Again' is considered one of the best rock songs ever made
Overrated. Baba O'reiley is a much better song.
@@johnnybmean74 What about “ Can You See The Real Me”?
@@chrismeloy1149 It's funny, but the three songs mentioned here are my favorite Who Songs.
@@cjk5115 we could put a playlist together of our favorites and have a few beers and listen to what we want to hear.
T. Rex “20th Century Boy” is rockin!!! J especially would love it!
Ah guys, if you are surprised by their theatrical side, that just means you haven't delved deep enough into them. 🙂They were well known for their live act. They were known for destroying their instruments at the end of live performances, Pete's windmill style of playing, Roger's swinging the mike around. And they had two of the earlier and best concept albums of all time - both of which were made into movies. Quadrophenia and Tommy. They were my first concert. Sadly, after Keith Moon died, but they were still awesome! Speaking of Tommy, you really might want to consider doing that on your movie reaction channel. Has guest performances and songs by Sir Elton John and Tina Turner that are legendary! Lead Singer Roger Daltrey plays Tommy in it
Please, let's not forget Jack Nicholson also singing in the movie Tommy, Eric Clapton, & Keith Moon as a pedo Uncle Ernie fiddling about!
Definite vote for the movie Tommy.
I can't agree w watching Tommy on the movie channel. I tried it recently and it doesn't really hold up. The music does of course but not the movie portion
@@rickwelch8464 Rock movies were midnight and cult classics that were a big part of music culture in the for a generation. As they delve into understanding music culture of previous generations, watching a few of the movies is a must. Also, it is a way they can understand concept albums and make use of it on their channel. 🙂
@@aaradia Understood, but it was a very difficult watch lol.
The Real Me from Quadrophenia is a must.
that’s right. imagine 30 years later and they bang out a pop hit.
20 years later
17 years actually
This was the first Who single recorded with drummer Kenney Jones, who had replaced Keith Moon after his death three years earlier.
The Who..... such a great band. 👍 Did not appreciate them back in day, but now...... I Love em. They are all so talented. ❤🇬🇧
This is EIGHTIES Who. Another one of those bands that was able to cross into the next decade and find their place and make big hits. I know you love HEART. Same situation.
The Who, like the Rolling Stones, made the transitions from the 60s to the 70s and then to the 80s.
The Beatles didn't make out of the 60s. I LOVE the Beatles! But they were a spent force by 1970.
@@frankshaffer7645 Yes Sir. Fleetwood Mac was another one. "Tango in the Night" is one of their best albums (1987). Great use of synths etc. That was all on Lindsey Buckingham. Yeah, I have often wondered what 70s or even 80s Beatles might have sounded like.
@@frankshaffer7645 The Beatles were a spent force by 1970? What utter nonsense. After the The Beatles put out Let It Be, Across The Universe, The Long And Winding Road & Two Of Us in 1970, the Solo Beatles ~ Lennon, McCartney & Harrison all put out better Solo music in the 70's & Early 80's than The Who & The Rolling Stones Combined. The Rolling Stones' 1989 song Mixed Emotions was a good song, but not a Classic. So before you boost about The Rolling Stones longevity, name 1 Classic Rolling Stones song from the last 40 Years??
This was the 80’s Who. “Athena” and “Emmence Front” were another pair of great ones from the 80’s as well. Y’all still gotta hear the killer jams like “Bargain”, “I Can See For Miles”, “Magic Bus”, “The Seeker”, “I Can’t Explain”, “Substitute”, “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere”, and of course “Pictures of Lilly”, “Love Reign O’er Me”, “Happy Jack” and “5:15”.
All great suggestions.
Jay has a great list of Who to check out. I was about to say the same songs.
Have they done Won't Get Fooled Again?
@@woodrowdixon1543 they have.
@@JayT-1000 I looked it up after I posted. Thanks.
Another great song from this album that you may want to check out is "Another Tricky Day."
A great post-Keith Moon song. It's really good.
My youngest brother Thomas loved this band. He got this record for Christmas. RIP. Thomas. Missed and loved.
“Love, Reign o'er Me” is an epic song with blistering vocals by Daltrey. Must listen!
Their best song, instrumentally, in my opinion.
"Join Together " is another excellent song from these guys worth checking out. I have been informed they have already done "Join Together," so now I'm going with "5:15," or "The Seeker."
They reacted to “Join Together” already.
Don't forget The Relay and Let's See Action. What a phenomenal period for the band!
This song is actually from after the death of Keith Moon. The drummer is Kenney Jones.
Amber, the drummer is Kenny Jones from the faces band with Rod Stewart because Keith Moon had already died.
The drummer is Kenney Jones formerly of The Small Faces and The Faces. Keith Moon had passed away two years earlier.
The Who showed that even without Keith, they were not done for, as many critics claimed. By polishing up thier sound and letting keyboardist John Bundwick play more, they stayed successful in the 80's. Considering they were still reeling from Keith's passing and a 1979 incident at thier Cincinati show that left 14 dead ,(Not thier fault!) they deserved another commercial hit.
This period of The Who, around ‘81 or “82,was my entrance to them. Somgs like this were being played on top 40 radio. I was in high school…good times…
The piece initially sounds like simple rock music with simple cadential harmony. Then it turns out to be a piece with many parts, which takes interesting harmonic turns, the bass notes do not always sit on the root note and there are changes between solo singing and harmony singing, as well as between half time and double time. A transposition is added at the end, and the song is also really catchy. A good example of how sophisticated compositions and arrangements were still being made around 1980.
The Who was the first band to move like this on stage. They invented nearly every Rock stage move there is.
Jay give yourself HUGE PROPS for getting the T-REX drop; he said, "to the sound of old T-Rex....ohhhhhhhh, and Who's Next (The Who Album that has Won't get fooled again, Baba O' Reilly and like 4 other hits) You guys are becoming REAL pop music afficianados.
I looove this song, so much.
"I know I've been wearing crazy clothes
And I look pretty crappy sometimes
But my body feels so good
And I still sing a razor line every time"
My favorite lines of this song too
5:15 would be your favorite if you listened to it. The horns, the piano, the vocals! You will love it. I have been asking for months to see your reactions. Please do it soon.
I think this is the earliest I've ever gotten in the comments. So I'll just take a minute to say how much I love you two!❤
I love the Who. My first car in 85 jammin these tunes. Yes!
There is grainy fottage of a who concert at the Cow Palace ,San Francisco. Keth Moon had passed out (for the second time?) and was taken away by ambulance. Peter Townsend asked the audience if there was a drum player in the audience. A kid ran up on stage and finished the set (Quadrophenia?).
Keith Moon had already passed away when this was recorded. Kenney Jones was the drummer who replaced him. Jones was previously the Drummer for the Faces and Small Faces (Ron Wood of the Stones was guitarist and Rod Stewart was lead singer for the Faces).
Hi Jay and Amber ! It's 1.10 a.m. here in Uk (Sunday now). I so love how you two 'get' these songs. Us Brits are not always easy to understand 😅. I was still in school when this came out and I never understood the meaning of this song. I love your channel and your interactions with each other. Much love from England ❤
They pause and talk way too much!
@@michaelasay8587 Naw. Usually only one pause and then a little recap at the end. That's when their personality comes through.
Edit. I was reading further down the line when it dawned on me you were referring to the movie reviews. I only saw one and stopped for that very reason. My bad.
I can't watch any movie reviews from any reactor for that reason. How can anyone get in to the flow of a movie by doing that, and trying to second guess something, just watch it and pause when it is absolutely necessary. Music is different, but the movie reactions don't work because of that
Check out their tune The Seeker....my fav banger by The Who.
Peace from PA ✌️
The Seeker is actually my second favorite Who song after Won't Get Fooled Again. My third favorite is Relay, which they haven't reacted to yet.
'Under a raging moon' is a classic song by lead singer Roger Daltrey after they broke up. It's as good as any who song.
As for which Who: "Who Are You" Jr., pretty much, only without Keith bashing the skins
Dig Pete's *"Rough Boys"* from his solo album released the year before this ---'tis a belter; you'll love
You need to react to The Who’s cover of “Young Man Blues”! It’s the quintessential version. It was one of their staples they did when touring.
Yes Duncan took the words right out of my mouth. Sadly Keith Moon was dead by the time this song came out. I was lucky enough to see the who in concert on the tour for this album in 1982 at the J.F.K. stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania when I was 17 years old. I am 59 now and still have some fine memories of this show. They were just too good to be true. Love your reaction videos guys, keep up the good work introducing old music to so many viewers of this generation. Yes, they indeed did play My Generation!
I think there was about 100 thousand people at this concert
Just one correction, the album "It's Hard" hard was released in 1982 and is the album they toured on that year. Memorable songs on "It's Hard" are "Athena" and "Eminence Front".
@@bostonwhofan I did not remember the name of the album the moment I posted this.
:
This was a hit for them in their 3rd decade of hits. Quite the band.
Eager Daltry, one of the best rock voices of all time.
T Rex (or Tyronnosaurus Rex at the beginning) was one of the most important in influencial Glam Rock bands of all time. Marc Bolan, who also didn't live too long unfortunately was an icon in the 70s like Cobain in the 90s and as important to the scene as Bowie in the early 70s. If you haven't covered them yet, it's about time (e.g. Get It On) :)
It's Kenny Jones from the Small/Faces on the drums as Keith Moon already has passed away.
"He can notice the gong but not when I get my hair cut".' J, that is so rock and roll!
Great band .great singer ,legendary guitarists .another great British band.
The song gives reference to a band in the lyrics. Have you ever listened to T-Rex? They were a great band with Marc Bolan in the lead. The biggest hit is Bang a Gong. And then Get it On
I'll keep suggesting it. Love Reign O'er Me. One of their best gritty emotional songs.
"Who's Best", indeed!
You are correct with "T Rex" ...another great band too 🤩
every album has a range of ideas & sounds - Townshend telling us to keep our ears open!
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!!! As far as I can tell, you guys haven't heard "Love Reign O'er Me". I CANNOT believe this! Amongst all the great, great Who songs, this is one of their ABSOLUTE best. Hope fans will chime in and get you guys to listen to this one.
I was so obsessed with this song growing up I still have my 45 such a classic by The Who
Guys did you know before the who became the who they were called "High Numbers." Check out High Numbers - Gotta Dance to keep from crying
Ive seen the WHO 4 TIMES in concert. Love em.
I've always liked this song and I always felt it was tinged with some melancholia or regret on the part of Townshend....his alcoholic and drug fueled period ("I look pretty crappy some times", "I still sing a razor line..." ) to the slow dissolution of his marriage to Karen Astley----"You better bet your life, or love will cut you just like a knife" . Great song, and Daltry's delivery is perfect, the way he emphasizes a fed up response from the woman, in " you BETTAH!!!"
I'm surprised you never give any love to John Entwistle's bass playing. He was awesome to watch live!
The Who. Officially The Loudest Band in the World. And I have the hearing loss to prove it ✌️
van halen 2 tour
What?🦻
@@Chris.Davis.2🤣🤣good one.
Doesn’t help when you stand in front of a wall of speakers been there before ✌️
sadly,..happily,..me too!
Lead singer Roger Daltrey and Actor / Director Adren Paul (The Highlander TV show) were great friends. Adren Paul brought Roger Daltrey on to the series several times. Roger does have some theatrical chops.
Don't Let Go the Coat, best song on that album
Pictures of Lily is another great song by the Who. It has a great sound and I'm sure you will find the words very amusing to.
There's a verse missing on this recording where he sings "you welcome me with open arms and open legs"
A 1981 classic! Three years after the passing of Keith Moon .
A couple of suggestions for your next from the Who, "5:15", "Magic Bus" (such a vibe!) and Pete Townsend's solo "Rough Boys".
This is the only Who song I learned all the lyrics to before I was 10. There’s so much to it that it’s just fun to sing along to.
This is also maybe their first official music video(MTV era), as anything before this was live footage, or a promotional videos that were only given out to radio stations and such to promote singles for sir play, etc(Who Are You).
Not Keith Moon on the drums.
He mentions T-Rex and the Who’s album “Who’s Next”.
This is the radio edit version. The songs much longer on the album.
The lyrics:
I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture - I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs, but this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
Ooh, a little is alright
When you say, come over and spend the night
Tonight, tonight
Were edited from the song.
Well spotted: The T.Rex reference. There are other songs which mention the band or singer Marc Bolan; Bowie's 'All The Young Dudes' (a big hit for Mott The Hoople), 'Brimful of Asha' - Cornershop, 'Wake Up Bomb' - R.E.M., 'Rock 'n' Roll Radio - The Ramones, 'Blow Away' - Kate Bush.....and more.
Greatest Rock Band Ever
Good catch on the T-Rex reference. Keith Moon died in 1978. This was part of a relaunch after the band almost split with Roger Daltry...they made it clear that Pete Townshend was the creative force behind the band .
This was the WHO song for me, i was too young to experience their hits in the 60s and 70s, i was 15 years old when this one came out and I immediately loved it and it's still a great song.
This is later period / post punk era Who from their 1981 album Faces Dances. They would release 1 more album (It's Hard 1982) & do one big farewell tour before taking a 7 year hiatus from touring & 24 year hiatus from releasing a new studio album. As other have pointed out this album is the band's first release after the death of Keith Moon & features former Faces drummer Kenney Jones on drums.
🥰🥰🥰 Haven't heard this in forever. Thank You!
the WHO! incredibal energy
This is an edited version. I noticed that. I was wondering, about it. A couple verses and a chorus is missing.
I want those feeble-minded axes overthrown
I'm not into your passport picture
I just like your nose
You welcome me with open arms and open legs
I know only fools have needs
But this one never begs
I don't really mind how much you love me
Ooh, a little is alright
When you say, "Come over and spend the night
Tonight, " tonight
When I say, "I love you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
When I say, "I need you, " you say, you better
You better you better you bet
You better bet your life
Or love will cut you, cut you like a knife
You should watch Tommy on your other channel and watch the band play their characters. Roger is Tommy. You also get Tina, Elton, Eric, Ann-Margaret, Jack Nicholson and more! The songs are great in the movie but better on the who's album. That also applies for Quadraphenia but you'd also enjoy that movie featuring a young Sting.
Did you notice the drummer in this vid? Kenny Jones, used to be in The Faces with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, before Ronnie left to join the Stones. So The Faces had Rod, guitarist Ronnie that now has decades with the Stones, Kenny who replaced Keith Moon in the Who and an interesting character on base.
Ronnie Lane played base and was part of the core of the faces with Rod and Ronnie. Long story of his life and then he was diagnosed with MS. He spent his latter decades in between where you and I live. Died in Trinidad, Colorado. Pete did an album with him to help with healthcare expenses. Best song on it is My Baby Gives it Away, you'll love it.
You mentioned Pinball Wizard. You really should watch the Elton John version from the musical Tommy. :)
You're so spot on to pick up on the theatrical vibe--the T-Rex reference--they were one of the first glam-rock bands and theatrical for their time as well.
I love The Who. When they played my city several years ago they opened with their first ever hit (at least in the US), " I Can't Explain" from 1964. One of my favorites of theirs still.
Zak Starky was with them, a magnificent drummer.
You should give that first hit of theirs a listen. It doesn’t sound dated, though it's 60 years old.
Blessings❤
Kenny Played on this album and went on. 1982 TOUR.
Roger Daltry (lead singer) is also an actor, hey Amber he was on an episode of CSI !!!
I was thrilled you got the T-Rex reference!!! So many young"ens wouldn't even know of the band. I was a teenager when this came out, but I never noticed the gong in the background!
Hey Jay and Amber, this was the album that followed up who are you which sadly was Keith Moon‘s last album the drummer is Kenny Jones also was the drummer with the faces and Rod Stewart. In this great black and write video Kenny could easily be mistaken for Keith moon. A couple other great tracks from this album are another tricky day and don’t let go the coat. also, fun fact, after K Jones left the group Zak Starkey who is the drummer for The Who been with them for quite some time and Zak is Ringo Starr‘s son him and Keith moon We’re great friends and rumor has it that Keith moon actually taught Zac how to play the drums and when you watch Zak play he does play a lot like Keith and his drum kit is very similar to Keith’s not like his father’s. He is a fantastic drummer.
Kieth Moon gave Zack Starkey his first kit, according to Ringo.
I saw what was supposed to be their final tour, lol. Many people don't realize that the Who usually didn't do an oncore! They played their songs, didn't go through the phony go off and return to play more. At MSG in NY opener Golden Earring were great & the Who were spectacular. But... no encore and the audience was beyond unhappy. The people in the upper sections started ripping out the seat cushions and started flinging them, frisbee-like at the stage & band instruments which I thought might be the only reason there wasn't a full scale riot. Of course, they continued the group. I saw them perform Quadrophenia with an orchestra at MSG years later & as always they were spectacular.
'The sound of old T.Rex" is talking about the band T.Rex led by Marc Bolan. ....and Who's Next (the Who's own album from 1971)
@4:46 "a big ol' gong!" I've been aware of this video for many years and until now never put together the T. Rex and gong connection! Well done!
Phoenix, AZ
One of the best show that I worked the sound blew me away live is definitely the best the who 😊
Roger Daltrey
"Under a Raging Moon"
(a tribute to their late drummer Keith Moon)
That track had like 13 drummers on that track, drummers like Stuart Copeland, Neil Peart, and many many more on that track!❤❤❤❤
This is the video/single edit of the song, which leaves out an entire verse . Not surprised since that verse includes the line “You welcome me with open arms and open legs” 😂
Another great song from this underrated album of theirs. Is the song Another Tricky Day.
Fun fact - Dennis DeYoung, from Styx, credited The Who as the biggest influence on him and the band. When I see this video, I can see a bit of Roger’s style in Styx and Dennis’ writing.
"Athena" is my favorite Who song to sing along with! You should also check out Pete Townshend Solo with "Let my love open the door".
This was the first new Who song I ever heard. They were at that point my second favorite band (after the Beatles) based mostly on their Meaty Beaty Big and Bouncy songs, but also the Who's Next and Who are You Songs. (I don't think I knew Quadrophenia yet which is now my favorite of their albums.
But as others have noted, it wasn't clear that the Who was still a thing after the death of Keith Moon. Townsend had a solo hit in Let My Love Open the Door.
It is a good song on a good album. It doesn't reach the levels of a lot of the earlier Who stuff. But it is still better than what most bands produce. Plus it is part of Townsend's dealing with aging, which is rare in rock music. The best example of that might be his solo song Slit Skirts. But this was meant to be an album written for a no longer youthful audience. They had not died before they got old, and they were no longer writing for an audience that shouldn't trust anyone over thirty, because they were over thirty (although I wasn't when this came out).
They have an incredible catalog but also the guitarist Pete Townsend has solo albums out there with my favorite Empty Glass that came out close to the same time as this and sounds a lot like this but with Pete singing.
Put the album on TH-cam and hit play in its entirety. You guys will love it.
Speaking of love, I love you two and your reactions. You both kick ass
I recall this on the radio in 1981 at camp. We sold candy to pay for the camping trip from walnut street school in lansing, Mi.
AMBER IS ON HER GAME !!
My favorite live band! I've seen them probably 8 times. The last time was 10/14/22 here in St. Louis!
This song is from 1981. Keith moon died in 1978. New drummer is Kenney Jones of the Faces.
