Old track that has kept its playability for years because the musicians were brilliant. That is The Who.
That's what I just was thinking brilliant
I love the chaotic sound of those old Who songs.
The bands from the 70s were just exceptional: Zep, Stones, Who, Floyd, Beatles, Genesis, Yes, ELP ... there was never a time like it and will never be again.
All but ELP are actually from the 60s. As is this song.
Oh so true!
Those are bands from the 60s, which was truly the more creative and blossoming decade for rock music.
The 70s started well but aproximately in the middle of it everything went down the sink.
I'd rather listen to any polka album than one of Kiss excrements or any other AOR crap
Sixties. 1967 for this song.
@@TheCornishCockney How about ZZ Top, Rush, Steeley Dan, Boston, Aerosmith, Styx, Kansas. That should even things out.
Keith moon and bonzo were always my top 2 drummers from that era
Bill Ward as well for me.
I was blessed to see this band twice back in the 70s before Keith Moon passed. GREAT LIVE BAND!!!!!!
never did catch Moonie or Bonham but I did see Neil
This is from 1967's "The Who Sell Out" album. A couple of years ago I took a much deeper dive into The Who. I spent a lot of time listening to this album, as well as "Tommy" and "Quadrophenia." Pete Townshend is a true composer.
Sell out is INCREDIBLE!!!!!
WHO’s NEXT for you!
The album was absolutely brilliant! But, this song used to come on my a.m. radio through my pillow at night and made me crazy every time I heard it. I used to wait for it to come on and finally I could go to sleep afterwards.
….and this was everyday music back in the day!!!!! Y’all remind me how lucky I was to be in the moment!! ☮️❤️
"Magnificent" indeed , gentlemen .
Next level compositions were routine for these artists .
19 SIXTY SEVEN they were cranking out bad boy numbers like this - these guys were nuts
Love Airplay Beats! This song is certainly the best WHO song in the first part (64'-68') of their illustrious career!
The Beatles, the Stones and The Who. I call them the “Holy Trinity of Rock”.
I agree but I also include the Kinks in that sentiment.
@@neilphelan145 actually my fourth, if was a holy quad, would be Zeppelin. But mad respect for the Kinks.
Zeppelin is great too. They came along a few short years after.
Yes! this IS timeless music, like all of the music you review. Having grown up with the sounds you play now, I love to see your reactions. Excellent review, as always!
Greatest Rock Band Ever
This was 1967, .the peak of the Psychedelic Era ..
While The Beatles made me want to play the drums, The Who made me actually start.
I really appreciate how well you guys dial in to what ever great work you’re covering..,This song reminds one what heights music can reach
Check out "My Generation" and "Summertime Blues"...the Who were part of the classic '60s graduating class that included Beatles, Stones, Who, Yardbirds, Animals, Kinks, Small Faces, Spencer Davis, Zombies...
Timeless- indeed!👍🎶
Next “Magic Bus” from the live album “Live at Leeds” ☮️
Keith Moon- Drum fills that are filled by other fills....
Great description. I couldn’t find any words for it
Keith moon ..drums , Roger Daltrey...vocals, john entwhistle..bass Peter Townsend .gituar! Brilliant!!!
You two are killing it. You're trusting your ears and making spot-on observations. Great reaction! 👍
One of the greatest bands ever. Got to check out all of the albums Tommy, Quadrophenia, and Who’s Next. I know time constraints are tough, but going through the whole albums Tommy and Quadrophenia at once is highly recommended. They are rock Opera’s/Plays with amazing stories.
My earliest memory of The Who, along with their performance of "My Generation" at the Monterrey Pop Festival...
Here's that performance... People were actually horrified by the band's "auto destructive art", after all, it was the "summer of love" and no one expected anything like this...

Baba o Reilly!!!! Best Who song!!!
Hard to believe The Who have never had a No:1 hit. (Apart from in Canada).😬
Still the best in my opinion!✌🏻🏴
Yes, this is the one that Townshend thought would be a definite #1 song. When it didn't come close, he was frustrated and decided to create the rock operas.
I always say that Zeppelin is my favorite band but The Who is the best.
@@independenceltd.
Should of said “In the UK”.
A lot of people think that Pinball Wizard was a No:1 for them. But that was Elton John……The Who were just backing.✌🏻
Better lyrics from townshend and Entwhistle.@@vespoint
Keith Moon's Drum sound, that's magnificent!
love this one...great sound
It does sound like the 60s (1967), I was there. 75yrs old and can still remember the lyrics and sing-a-long.
Deep rabbit hole with The Who. Such good rich rock goodness...
Love this song
You are right timeless...i listened to this new and a million times since and it's still fresh.. many songs I can't hit the button fastest enough 😂
Great music from the sixties, fantastic guitar from Pete Townsend and the drums of Keith Moon are awesome. Goosebumps!
One of my favorite things about your reactions: I learn stuff about songs I have been listening to for 40+ years. Your thoughtful comments are really appreciated.
Keith Moon is a beast on this one. "I Can See For Miles" was The Who's turn towards the psychedelia that was popular that year. It marked a departure from the power pop on their debut album, while pointing towards their work yet to come, like Tommy, Who's Next, and Quadrophenia.
I know that I've said this before, but I loved, loved growing up in this time.
Controlled Chaos .............Thanx Guys
Outrageous drumming
Yup great song Thanx Guys
"i cant explain"...came from same time...the who was never shy about showing off
Back in the day when we were on the mountain we sing I can ski for miles and miles
I'm 63 and I can see for miles and miles!!!!
‘Magic Bus’ or ‘Substitute’ would be a good follow up to this.
My fav Who tune is " Join Together"
Across the street from LACC in the 1960s was what we called the Casa Ptomaine where we hung out between or after classes. Pretty good hanburgers, coin-op pool table and jukebox. This tune some kids must have liked a lot because it was playing almost constantly -- for years! The daughter of the owner of the place which was family run was seriously hot as I recall...
My favorite early Who song. Nobody sounded like them.
One of my favorite's! Keith's aggressive style on this one especially, is partly why became obsessed with drums. Plus it's a good `burn` song. Great Reaction as usual!
Moon's like a marching band - so well said.
Great song. Way ahead of its time. Kind of psychedelic but also very focused, even menacing - such a great sound.
Magic Bus from Live at Leeds should be on your Who list.
- The Who was an extraordinary band Period!... And featured the loudest and most displayed concert of all time
It’s because The Who set a standard for “rock”.
Not rock and roll, not progressive rock, not punk rock, not pop, just solid rock.
Some modern groups may try to sound like this, but the vibe, changes, and 60’s energy are unmistakeable, and the genuine article.
Modern groups don't have Keith F&*king Moon.
This somg inspired Paul McCartney to write Helter Skelter.
Really?! How cool! Had no idea. ♡
I'm old enough that I can remember the Beatles, the Stones appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show, plus the Dave Clark Five, the Monkees etc. However, the Who were the first band that their sound really caught my attention. Something about their sound I preferred over the other early bands.
I remember a story that Paul McCartney set out to write "Helter Skelter" after hearing this song, so the Beatles could show they could still play HARD rock.
You wanna hear a badass song by the Who, try The Seeker
Should add The Kinks to your list!
You guys are so good at these reactions I just want you to know how much I for one appreciate you.
You guys are so right about it sounding timeless. There is nothing as good as stuff like this. I’m wondering if there will ever be.
You guys NEED to experience the album Tommy in its entirety.
You guys ought to check out the very first Who album (from 1965) - 'My Generation' (a.k.a 'The Who Sings My Generation'). Lots of R&B influences, as well as 2 James Brown covers); very different from their subsequent albums but displaying their unique Who sound right from the start. 'The Who Sell Out' is a great album as well (but often overlooked in comparison to their Tommy to Quadrophenia output). And 'Live at Leeds' is an absolute classic, one of the best live rock albums of all time.
You guys are stars!! Thats what I see!! 🤣
Early Who! Powerful for the time.
You are covering so many of the greats, I wonder if you will take a dive into the Kinks? They could make these great pop songs, and then hit you with songs that were almost punk rock in the sound. Great work as always gentlemen!
I saw a Townshend interview where he mentioned his frustration with Daltry's early vocals being too reserved. He thought he finally found his voice with Who's Next. You can really hear the difference in comparing this tune to later work.
One of the paradoxes of art is that timeless works are often extremely rooted in their time. "The Who Sell Out" is a tribute/parody of the pirate radio phenomenon that took place in London in the mid-60s. Radio stations (such as the album's Radio London) trying to get around BBC regulations loaded their equipment onto ships and broadcast from international waters. The Who Sell Out is their version of a day in the life of a pirate radio station including PSAs (Radio London reminds you/Go to the church of your choice, ads for baked beans, zit cream, deodorant, and musical instruments, as well as hit singles like "I Can See for Miles," another Townshend ode to wanking, and a love song to the singer's tattoos that may be Pete's best ever. (No joke. I love Tattoo.)
KEITH MOON WAS INSANE AND CRAZYYYYY LON AND CHE!!! 😊AND JUST THE WHOLE BAND AND OF COURSE R.I.P. ☹ TO KEITH AND JOHN ENTWISTLE. MOON WAS JUST 1 OF ( NEIL PEART'S ) OF RUSH ISPIRATIONS! YOU WANT MORE EARLYYYY WHO : MY GENERATION, MAGIC BUS, WELL THERE'S A COUPLE
Always loved this song. This is how a snare drum should sound. You’re totally right, there music still sounds current and is still relevant today. The Who were one of the most important and influential bands of all time.
You should check out their live performance of A Quick One from the 1968 Rolling Stones Circus. Legend has it they upstaged everyone else so Mick Jagger buried the film for years.
Other fun stuff from earlier on is Pinball Wizard, My Generation, Pictures of Lilly, Happy Jack, and Boris the Spider. They are all gems. And there is a later one that always kind of seemed like an outlier to me but I loved it and it used to play on the radio all the time, Squeezebox.
Fun fact.. Roger Daltry hand't 'found his voice' yet... not until Tommy. Once he did Tommy he was forever changed into the rock star he is today with that powerful voice.
Another great banger guys keep it coming
Early Who on a Sunday morning! Thank you.
An early one for the band and one of their very best. This kind of set the tone to the direction they would head toward!
A must-see is their Live at the Isle of Wight Festival 1970 performance. Words can’t describe. I even prefer it to Live at Leeds, which is legendary.
One of Keith Moon’s best drumming gigs, he’s running it out and the rest are following!
another great british band .
EARLY WHO. Timeless.
You nailed it.
Since we’re going back in time with the Who give the Magic Bus song from Live at Leeds album
I hear the sixties but only because I'm 70 years old and remember when this song came out. You are correct it's aged well, great music is great music. To me the first hit to music was the electronic era, not because you can't make great music with the instruments of any time. The sixties & seventies used tube amps that could be overdriven (a nasty meaty beastly sound), now it's a electronic series of gates in a effects box, Hammond B3's with their tone wheels and draw bars, Fender Rhodes Electric pianos with the hammer action on a tuning fork, funky clavinets. The limitations of analog instruments just gave a meaty sound and drove techs crazy trying to retune instruments in the new venue, do the show, pack it all up and do it all over again in a new venue. The electronic instruments are much easier to deal with but the sound of old equipment is faked with effects pedals or sampled now. It's not the same. Great music is still being made. The main group of music you haven't covered yet is Jam bands who often either use older equipment or older styles like prog. A jam band tune can cover rock n' roll (dance oriented), rock (prog, hard, heavy metal), jazz (often fusion), classical (sonata, concerto, avant garde), country (country rock, bluegrass, rockabilly), sometimes all in the same tune. My favorites are Umphrey's McGee, Railroad Earth, Government Mule, the list is long. If you do check out Umphrey's McGee "Ocean Billy" Live at Red Rocks would be a good starting point clocking in at under 19 minutes.
This song could easily fall into the category of Grunge music.
Thank you and thumbs up for bringing this old granny back to 1968.......and another thumbs up for the Jays gear!
Cheers from close to Toronto
Amazing that this song is almost 60 years old… almost as amazing as Townsend and Daltrey still playing together
Love how much you're digging The Who! Highly recommend the live Isle of Wight performance of Young Man Blues, guarantee it will blow your hats off!
First heard on offshore AM radio station Radio Caroline.
Quadrophenia is a true masterpiece.
🏆🏆🏆🏆!
Hey again from N in Spain. This must be an unedited version because the original track just blasts in on that first note and it fades out a lot sooner. Cool to hear the count in and the band fall apart at the end but the original has more punch. Check out how Keith is doing rolls and fills that connect not only with the bass and guitar but mirror Roger's vocal phrases. As a drummer I know this song is like running a marathon in 3 1/2 minutes. Truly unique and impossible to imitate.
You said it Ned
I’ve heard this song umpteenth so recognized it was slightly different this time. Nice to see that others caught it too.
Great reaction!
THEIR BEST TRACK EVER IMO.
Batting a thousand!
The Who were the bridge between pop and rock. This is possibly the 1st Hard Rock / Heavy Metal song recorded.
Moon🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
When this song came out, Pete Townsend bragged that they had done the Heaviest SONG ever. Not to be outdone, Paul McCartney read this and wrote HELTER SKELTER to try and out do them in Heaviness...
EARLY Who....you can tell by their hair! LOL
The US mono single mix stomps all over every other version of ICSFM... altho any version is worthy of playing loud af 💥💥💥
This is probably The Who's only psychedelic song. It sort of fits in with the SF sound of the era with Keith Moon's crazy drumming style added.
They really started to grow at this point
The who have many genres, liked by mods and rockers mad to think back in the day whe they hated each other so much.
