Pete Townshend...greatest songwriter and showman ever. Daltrey the greatest voice in Rock. Entwistle, greatest bass player ever. And Keith Moon...no one could play like him! What's not to love?
If you want to have your mind blown, react to The Who performing "Young Man Blues" live at the Isle of Wight in 1970. It's probably the greatest live performance I've ever seen.
Hi, Pop...BIG fan of The Who. Notice the solid stolidity of The Ox (nickname for Bassist/ back singer John Entwistle)- he forms the roadbed for the solid genius of Roger on vocals and the flaky genius of Pete on guitar and vocals, and Keith (the Loon) Moon on drums, Makes me happy to see it make you happy. Be safe.
Good 'ol Keith Moon, dude has his headphones taped on his head haha, such a unique drummer and some of the stories and antics, holy smokes they were nuts
The all time best scream in rock! I got to see them a few years back, 6th row center, and they rocked all 20,000 of us! I made a blue blazer with the Union Jack 🇬🇧 on the back, held it up to them and got a head bow from Roger Daltrey! Blew my mind!
Do you know those lasers were borrowed by Ridley Scott when filming the original Alien film in 1978, in the studio next door at Shepperton film studios
I saw them in concert twice and they rock the house like nobody I ever saw. Roger would swing that mic around and throw it out over the audience letting the mic cord slip through his hands then yank it back and catch it right in time for the next verse.
Most definitely one of the best rock performances ever, and yes the greatest scream in rock history. Did you check out the electrical tape on the microphone to keep it connected to the cable? I love this performance but I always scream at the end, "NOOOO, that's a Les Paul!" when Pete gets a little violent.
they were filming Alien in the studio next door. The actors took a break to come watch The Who and fell in love with the lazer show and used it in the movie.
Funny you should mention alien. The lasers used in one of the first laser light shows for The Who were moved next door onto the set of the film Alien straight after this performance.
In case someone hasnt said, Keith Moon's headphones had to be duct taped to his head. Nice that you are watching the best version of this song! Love it bro, keep it up!
Apparently while this was being filmed at Shepperton Studios the film Alien was being filmed in the second studio A lot of the crew from Alien went to see The Who and were inspired by the laser show at the end They all got talking and they ending up using their kit in the film Probably doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen Alien😂
I saw them perform this on that tour. Unfortunately, it was after the people were trampled at the Cincinnati concert and they kept the house lights up and if you even shifted in your seat, an army of ushers would shine flashlights on you. It really killed the vibe. The laser lights were almost invisible, too.
Meanwhile, in the US... Grateful Dead (friends of the Who) were quietly becoming most pop US touring band ever. The survivors still play. Every show is different, & they let fans tape it all. They became popular thru fans trading tapes - nor thru commercial means. This concert sits in the Smithsonian. Morning Dew 5/8/77 th-cam.com/video/RMotfSyRcwU/w-d-xo.html
@@Lchristyhastings Got it mixed up with this one: th-cam.com/video/9uOuAtYjgFc/w-d-xo.html You'll have to find part one yourself. I like this one even more than Cornell...
When you see closeups of Daltrey's mic, you see it wrapped in gafffer's tape. Otherwise, the wire would just come right out of the XLR connector, and the mic would go flying off somewhere.
It's always tough for me to watch this performance knowing that Moon was near the end of his life and not playing well at all. You can see Entwistle somewhat willing Moon back on beat throughout the entire performance. I love The Who and Moon, but this is just not indicative of how great they really were on stage in their prime.
Though it begs belief, Roger never hit any other band member with the mic, though it did come detached from the lead a few times, never to be seen again, and he used to duct tape the shit out of it so it would stay attached. According to him anyway. Amazing.
I have to smile every time I see them live watching the difference between Pete Townshend and John Entwistle on stage Pete Townshend running and jumping all around and there's John Entwistle just standing there playing the bass.
And Entwhistle is the one that ended up O.D.ing on cocaine while Townshend, who in this video seems like he snorted the entire country of Peru, is still going strong. Always wondered what kind of floor burns he got on his knees with that slide behind the Daltrey scream.
Yep. Pete Townshend was known for smashing his axe on stage. Kieth Moon, "The Loon", the drummer was known for blowing up toilet bowls in hotel rooms while the bass player, John Entwhistle handed him the matches. What was the singer, Roger Daultry doing? I dunno. My best guess is playing, blind, deaf and dumb.
The 70's is known as album rock so you really are missing the whole sound that got these guys to the arenas. The live versions aren't the same in your ear buds.
I saw The Who in 1979. In Cincinnati at the old Coliseum. About 11 people died due to a human stampede caused by Coliseum security. They didn’t even bother telling The Who and the show went on. I’m sure it was a great show but watching a stampede that killed 11 people kinda put a damper on the show, if you know what I mean? The Who was so mad at the Coliseum management that they never played Cincinnati again. It was another 15 years before I went to another concert.
moon was a little bit nuts. he once blew his drum set up on tv with the equivalent of three sticks of dynamite, knocked him on his a$$ with scrap metal in his arms and nearly killed guitarist pete townsend who suffered burns and permanent hearing loss
You seem to enjoy classic rock back when music was real and no rap crap like today of Bieber and Drake. Long live Floyd and Zeppelin and Skynyrd back when music was real and life a lot better with no stupid social media.

"Meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Some things never change. This is such a great song and The Who are legendary.
Literally the best
What a captivating and smart rock piece! The Who at its best!!
John Entwistle one of the greatest bass players in the world 🖤🕷
*The* best, you idiot.
No one comes even close ..The guy was simply mesmerising brilliant, technique really the best
Worshipful Brother John Entwistle
Freemason
Not one of the greatest he was and always will be the greatest
The GOAT
Thank you for this!. It really is one of the band's greatest moments.
Best version EVER!!!!!! Greatest scream in rock history, no question

Keith moon is a god on that song 🤩
Britain has given us so much great talent!
No England. They are all English, and yes ...BIG difference ...

They are the real deal. Blow away most rock bands of today. they are in there mid 70's. !
@@leegoodison *ALL* rock bands of today.
Never again will there ever be a greater era of rock~
Greatest Rock Band Ever
Just sit back and listen to the Bass the Ox was the greatest EVER
Everybody engaging the usual hyper antics all over the stage, except John Entwhistle, who's calmly standing and *absolutely shredding* on the bass.
One of the greatest song ever,just wish Moon the Loon on the drums was still with us!
this clip at 8:48 is one of the most iconic shots in rock history
Absolutely
Good 'ol Keith Moon, dude has his headphones taped on his head haha, such a unique drummer and some of the stories and antics, holy smokes they were nuts
I saw them live in London. - their home town Absolutely stunning.
My favorite song of my favorite band.
The all time best scream in rock! I got to see them a few years back, 6th row center, and they rocked all 20,000 of us!
I made a blue blazer with the Union Jack 🇬🇧 on the back, held it up to them and got a head bow from Roger Daltrey! Blew my mind!
Fabulous effects for 1978 hey? I absolutely loved your reaction! Thank you for allowing me to sit in with you again today. I enjoyed your reaction!
Great group as well. Lots of Jams.
I saw The Who last year and they killed it. In their mid sixties. REAL ROCK GODS.
They're in their mid 70s...
One of rocks greatest moments - Daltreys primal scream and Townshends knee slide
Do you know those lasers were borrowed by Ridley Scott when filming the original Alien film in 1978, in the studio next door at Shepperton film studios

Les Pauls of that era were junk.
If aliens wanted me to show them what is rock, I'll show them this song
You should check out the lyrics for this song it still resonates an awful lot right now.
Love this guy's energy. lol Man can you imagine if these guys played the BET awards show. Lord have mercy, lol
At the top of their game !
Great line “meet the new boss, same as the old boss!”
they were filming Alien in the studio next door. The actors took a break to come watch The Who and fell in love with the lazer show and used it in the movie.
I love your reaction.
A very underrated band. They were huge! ❤✌
Who Are You
"Underrated"?! What a hell are you talking about!!!!!! Have you been living in a cave?
Great reaction as per usual. Pinball Wizard or Who are You ........just 2 more brilliant songs to react to
I was not disappointed in your reaction to Daltrey scream!
Should have went for the original studio version. May I suggest the studio version of 'Behind Blue Eyes' by The Who from their album 'Who's Next.
Keith Moon (RIP) one of the best rock drummers!
*THE* best that will ever have lived. Period.
the greatest scream in rock history
Funny you should mention alien. The lasers used in one of the first laser light shows for The Who were moved next door onto the set of the film Alien straight after this performance.

Love it bro, keep it up!
So energetic phones could fall off
Finally someone addresses how fucking fast he swings the mic!! Gonna get a concussion with one misstep
He’s out of his mind with that swing 😅
No man could wear jeans tighter than Roger Daltry. lol
Apparently while this was being filmed at Shepperton Studios the film Alien was being filmed in the second studio
A lot of the crew from Alien went to see The Who and were inspired by the laser show at the end
They all got talking and they ending up using their kit in the film
Probably doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen Alien😂
And they were just as wild off stage as they were on it...Hotel owners would quake in fear when they toured!
Joe Walsh said the thing that always worried him the most was that Keith Moon really liked him.
This proved to be the last song Keith Moon would ever play with the Who before his death a few months later.
My favorite part is when Pete Townshend slides across the stage on his knees. That had to hurt.
Best scream in rock and roll history!
The Who at their peak.
I saw them perform this on that tour. Unfortunately, it was after the people were trampled at the Cincinnati concert and they kept the house lights up and if you even shifted in your seat, an army of ushers would shine flashlights on you. It really killed the vibe. The laser lights were almost invisible, too.
This was (the drummer) Keith Moon's very last performance with the band......he died a few weeks later...
Now THATS how you end a great song!!😁😁
A little trivia...it was the Laker introduction song during the he Kobe and Shaq days
Meanwhile, in the US...

The Who were well known for smashing their instruments. That's why Townsend was smashing his guitar at the end.
I read somewhere ridley scott borrowed the whos lasers for Alien...also filmed at Shepperton..
It's always tough for me to watch this performance knowing that Moon was near the end of his life and not playing well at all. You can see Entwistle somewhat willing Moon back on beat throughout the entire performance.

Baba O'Riley, Love Reign Oer Me, Who Are You, Join Together, The Real Me, 5:15, Behind Blue Eyes...the list goes on and on and on..
MY GENERATION!!!
the 70s musta been an awesome time to be alive
The same lights used in the movie Allen’s being. filmed in the same studio lot.
Saw them in 78 on this tour. My friend offered Bill Walton of the Portland Trailblazers a smoke lol…he politely declined…Amazing show
You guys know how to have fun 🤣
@@POPE. That we did lol
You gotta do "Love, Reign O'er Me", a masterpiece.
The Bloody WHO !
🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Nice job. Check out their performance of “Water” in Tanglewood, 1970.
the who - live at leeds -sparks
Imagine Pete if he had a wireless guitar setup back then!
They are a great band! Do more from them!
thats what the who dose to people
Though it begs belief, Roger never hit any other band member with the mic, though it did come detached from the lead a few times, never to be
seen again, and he used to duct tape the shit out of it so it would stay attached. According to him anyway. Amazing.
Four months later, Keith Moon was dead. September. This is May.
I have to smile every time I see them live watching the difference between Pete Townshend and John Entwistle on stage Pete Townshend running and jumping all around and there's John Entwistle just standing there playing the bass.

@@88wildcat *Entwistle. Are you really this stupid? Is anyone?
Ha ha ha ha ha 😝 😝 😝.... Alien baby walking at me
The Who were the first band to use lasers at their shows. First for many things in music.
Yep. Pete Townshend was known for smashing his axe on stage. Kieth Moon, "The Loon", the drummer was known for blowing up toilet bowls in hotel rooms while the bass player, John Entwhistle handed him the matches. What was the singer, Roger Daultry doing?

The greatest Rock band to ever take the stage. Bar none.
This was Keith Moon’s final performance as he died shortly after this was filmed.
Did you ever watch CSI Miami? This is the theme song
I actually haven’t, but law and order yes.
The 70's is known as album rock so you really are missing the whole sound that got these guys to the arenas. The live versions aren't the same in your ear buds.
Townsend was......somewhere else. ; )
This was part of a promotion for the film "The Kids Are Alright" with a private audience so they may be a bit over the top.
Roger has hit himself in the balls a few times with the Mic Swinging. 🤣
I saw The Who in 1979. In Cincinnati at the old Coliseum. About 11 people died due to a human stampede caused by Coliseum security. They didn’t even bother telling The Who and the show went on.

Try Live at Leeds to have your mind blown.
Nice
Check out Pantera Domination live . Its a good time
He ever band member broke free into audience triple taped down
Now watch A Quick One from The Rolling Stones Rock n’ Roll Circus.
The lyrics, about the political parties, the world over, the same .. Left , right, middle, mett the new boss , same as the old boss
I have to admit that it is kind of upsetting for me to see a $8,000.00 guitar treated like that . . .
moon was a little bit nuts. he once blew his drum set up on tv with the equivalent of three sticks of dynamite, knocked him on his a$$ with scrap metal in his arms and nearly killed guitarist pete townsend who suffered burns and permanent hearing loss
