Pete Townshend is the guitarist. (Who writes most of their songs including this one.);Roger Daltrey is the singer. The drummer is Keith Moon (RIP since 1978.). John Entwistle the basisist may not be that animated, but he is one of the greatest virtuoso Rock bass players ever. (RIP since '02-03.)
The ending of this song is iconic. The keyboards, the drum fills, the scream and then those power chords afterwards. This is one of Rock music's greatest performances.
I'm more inclined to everything they did before that album. For some reason people tend to forget recordings like Live At Leeds, freaking Tommy, The Who Sell Out and so on... all the singles they release through the 60s, are a collection of recordings better than entire discographies by suposedly legendary bands.
@@JulioLeonFandinho I remember getting Live At Leeds and I played the record so many times that it no longer had grooves, Tommy was played a lot too. Your 100% right that there was magic before Who's Next, no doubt. Starting out on "Who's Next you might as well finish it. Once you listen to the entire record, you will go back to their earlier music. Records back then tell a story. "Sparks Live still gives me the goosebumps.
“Coffee needs to take THEM in the morning to wake up”. Great analysis, and so accurate. Such a fantastic performance of a fantastic song by a fantastic band.
About time, the Who have a library of excellent songs. This, Baba O'riley , My Generation, PinBall Wizard, Who Are You, Behind Blue Eyes, so many more.
The Roger Daltry scream and Pete Townsend slide are so iconic. The Who had so much crazy energy on stage. They used to destroy their equipment at the end of shows. And the wildest one was drummer Keith Moon who partied himself to death 😮
I love how Pete, Keith, and Rodger are all moving and going crazy and than there's John who is just still but playing the craziest bass line known to man
Keith Moon (the drummer) was a LEGENDARY wild man. There's millions of stories about his antics, including "driving a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool". He also "secretly" packed his kit with explosives, and when it went off, he made Pete Townsend deaf in one ear. He wasn't called "Moon the Loon" for no reason.
Great reaction. In 1976, after a live performance where they reached 126 decibels, the Guinness Book of World records declared The Who the loudest band on the planet. Personally I love Live at Leeds. Especially Young Man Blues.
Saw them in an arena in 1974 and they were the only band I saw to that point other than Pink Floyd who had 4+ channels and speakers in the air, those 2 bands had better sound than anyone else I saw in my lifetime.

During the concert, The Who performed a number of their classic hits, including "My Generation," "Baba O'Riley," and "Won't Get Fooled Again."

After the concert, the Guinness Book of World Records declared The Who to be the loudest band on the planet. They had reached a sound level of 126 decibels at a distance of 100 feet from the speakers. The Who's record as the loudest band on the planet stood for eight years, until it was broken by Manowar in 1984. However, The Who's concert at The Valley remains one of the loudest and most iconic live concerts of all time. It is important to note that exposure to loud noise can cause hearing damage. The World Health Organization recommends that adults limit their exposure to noise levels above 85 decibels for no more than eight hours per day.
Watch all The Who live videos you can find. This is the power and the passion they brought every time. The lineup: Pete Townshend - guitar, Roger Daltry - vocals, John Entwistle - bass, Keith Moon - drums. One of the greatest bands of all time.
Part of the energy is from the content of the song, the meaning of the lyrics that touches on the way our world leaders still are the same no matter who, where and when they are in power. The final lyric after that big scream says it all; "meet the new boss, same as the old boss". Pete Townsend, the guitar player is the major songwriter of the band and his energy comes from his messages. I have seen and photographed this band back in the day and I have several examples of their stage energy and destruction. They really got the crowd going in their concerts. Great reaction Aileen 🥰
It's really cool to see young people digging the music I grew up with. I saw singer Roger Daltry say in an interview once that he would sometimes go for a note not being sure if he could make responding the energy in the moment. That is a courageous and brutally honest commitment to the muse and the fans in attendance.
Aileen this is a REAL DISCOVERY! Probably the greatest rock group that has ever been! Keith Moon, drummer, one of perhaps five of the best drummers in the world. John Entwistle, bassist, probably the greatest bassist that has ever been. Pete Townshend, lead guitarist, he wrote the songs. Roger Daltrey, vocalist, he can play guitar too! The Who....four individually talented, gifted, and creative musicians.....that on each performance try to outperform each other! This was The Who. Legendary? Beyond that Aileen. Beyond legendary. Hey, Aileen, you are losing the shoulders of your dress girl! Ha, ha! It is infectious, yes? YOU ARE INTO IT. In the groove. Great energy. You are right. The energy pulls you in.....you are a part of it. The Who, classic. Lazer light show....one of the first.....COOL. After this taken next door for use in the film Alien. Oh...and by the way.....they used to smash up all their equipment at the end of a gig and were banned from many hotel chains due to destroying the rooms! Who can contain their energy? These were real bad boys.
This is Keith Moons last ever live concert he died RIP shortly after this , he was ill when he did this concert , i really wish i could isolate the drumming on this track he and Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham are deffo my fav drummers ever
So much to discuss about this song. The synthesizer pattern is innovative and this album is the first time it was done in this manner. Also, the line "Oh you know the hypnotized never lie.... Do ya?" is an ironic challenge to their OWN audience. They're saying we are ALL in danger of being hypnotized. BRILLIANT!
Super iconic band. They set the standard for live performances of their era, with Pete Townsend (guitar), Roger Daltrey (vocals), and Keith Moon (drums) going completely batshit crazy on stage and ol' stoneface, John Entwistle, arguably the greatest bassist of his generation, being the rock holding everything down. They were also responsible for pioneering both punk rock and prog rock, which is super impressive given those genres are often considered polar opposites. IMO, their masterpiece is the concept album Quadrophenia, which they even made a movie out of. Love Reign O'er Me is my favorite The Who song, but they have so many classics.
The greatest scream in rock music What I love about The Who, is just how damn heavy they could be, but with dynamics - intense periods between power and quiet, then they bring it back again. Each band member considered up there with any other all-time greats for each instrument and the lead vocal.
Excellent choice!! If this is your 1st Who reaction, you are in for a killer journey!! "Love Reign O'er Me", "Baba O Reilly", "Behind Blue Eyes" would be nice follow ups....
The guitarist is Pete Townsend, bass John Entwistle, Keith Moon on drums, Roger Daltry vocals. All legends. John and Keith are gone now, but the music lives on. Great reaction!
You will love Who Are You, the video is them in the studio, having fun, you get to see a bit more of their personality.... and it's one of the greatest rock songs of all time!
Hey baby doll, Glad you're digging The Who! These guys have been rocking for decades and know how to put on a hell of a show!! Love your reactions and your beautiful smile! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋🦊🦊🦊🦊
Your reaction is right on (as we used to say)!!!!! Now imagine having hundreds of bands performing at this level!!!!! It was THE BEST OF TIMES!!!! ☮️❤️
I love but am surprised how "younger audiences" like Aileen are seemingly taken aback by the punkish power of performances like this one, where destruction of instruments is on the table, and blood is probably on the floor, lol! I may be wrong, but I suspect so much is planned out, stage-managed, and worse, Gawd, FOCUS-GROUPED before being performed. ("Well, Pete, focus groups say they like it more when Roger destroys his mic, so...")
The Whos live chemistry is unmatched and the secret to that mojo is that they flirted the line between controlled chaos and just chaos... sometimes they would derail. When they didn't, it was spectacular, raw, powerful... Maximum R&B! The sum is more than the parts here. John Entwistle is probably my fav musician of all time, a lot of the sound you are hearing and he was so much more than a bass player. Pete Townshend said im an interview that after he died they had to replace him with a brass section, keys, and additional percussion to fill the void!
Quite possibly one of the most important songs in rock history! The songs meaning is just as important now as it was then and should never be forgotten!
One of the greatest screams in rock'n'roll history. Take a look at the lyrics, too. The message of the song is summed up in the last couple of lines - “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.” Pete Townsend is not only an energetic guitarist (The windmill strum is his signature move.), he also composed almost all of the Who's music. Other Who tracks to check out include Baba O'Reilly, Love Reign O'er Me, Pinball Wizard, Who Are You, and so many more.
I love your reactions! You actually move to the music! Pete Townsend is the guitarist and Keith Moon was the drummer. John Entwistle is on bass, Roger Daltrey is the frontman. Sex and Drugs and Rock and Rock and Roll fueled many bands during this era! Not all but some. Concerts and bar bands were what we did! As teenagers!❤
You are adorable in this, Aileen. I love the energy you brought to this and that smile. You look happier than ever. ❤️ And yes, The Who changed popular music forever and spawned new styles like Punk Rock. They're one of the most important and influential bands in history.
Performances like this are what keep Rock n' Roll alive! They are forefathers of hard rock and this era (early 70's) is them at the top of the mountain!
The show wasn't over until the drum kit was spread across the stage and Pete Townshend had smashed a guitar. Many say Animal from the Muppets was patterned after Keith Moon, and they do share a unique drumming style. Although I don't remember Animal taping his headphones to his head. And the tour wasn't over until Moon had trashed a hotel room.
Around the time of this performance, The Who was in the Guinness Bock of World Records as the loudest band in history. They've been passed, but at that point, they were known to be LOUD!
The lyric was profound and true back when this was released, and it's sadly still true today! They had such great energy, wrote brilliant songs, and made every performance a spectacle. Well worth you looking at some more Aileen. 👍
That scream is the quintessential rock scream that all others are judged against. Greatest scream in rock n roll. I don't even think it's open to debate.
Everybody plays the Lead in this band. This song came out 52 years ago in my early 20s. I saw them live in the '70s, and they played for 3 hours; my ears are still ringing. Amazingly Sonic, heavy, and exploding with kinetic energy. Real Rock & Roll, dangerous, edgy, explosive, and musical adrenaline. You don't see live music like that anymore.
The guitarist pete townshend was an absolute amazing musician and composer. Also known for his windmill technique and he was the pioneer of smashing guitars. As much as it seemed like they get along the band fought a little bit and broke up for a while in the early 80s
Great reaction... It's so much more fun watching you enjoying it for the first time. In my opinion that is one of the best live songs ever recorded that you just witnessed. I'm Glad You observe so many different things going on especially the quiet bass player. Unfortunately this was the drummer's last or second-to-last show before he passed away. The bass player passed away in 2002 I believe. The lead singer and guitar player still tour to this day and they are around 80 years old. The band was never the same ever since the drummer died. One of my other favorite lives songs The Who did was called... A quick one while he's away. The song is in okay song when you first hear it butt grows on you the more you do. Putting that aside the live performance, again is one of the most epic performances you will ever see and they did it in front of all these rock and roll Stars. It was filmed for a Rolling Stone movie back in the sixties, like 1968. The who was so good that night that the Rolling Stones did not release it till like 1994. Because the who just destroyed every other band. I hope you enjoy it as much as who fans did
118 bpm. They definitely got you going 😂 The Who are incredible. Sooooo many good songs. I like - Bargain Pinball Wizard - is a classic. Love Reign O'er me - is an exceptional piece of art. Behind Blue eyes - is beautiful. My Generation - is a banger. Eminance Front - is Funky af. Etc. Etc.
2:52..Yeah, they had thier chaos down..Offstage they were some wild boys, too..Hotel-room destroying after-concert parties up the wazoo! I'll remember these guys as one of the most grandiose, loudest, energetic band I've ever seen live. But thier music was very deep ,creative and ear-grabbing. Loved watching you bop and smile to this classic! "Love reign over me" should be your next Who song
Hey Aileen, just stumbled into your videos. Saw The Who in 76 in Munich. I was on the floor right up against the barrier separating the crowd from the stage and Daltry was about 10 feet in front of me. Everytime he threw the mic out we all tried to catch it. We where never close. The thing that strikes me to this day is the band was tight. Each membeer of the band would be in their own world until the beat came down and they were absolute on time with each other. It was just amazing.
John (the ox)Entwhistle was never all that theatrical, but when you see just how active he was on the bass, you can see just why he has the nickname thunderfingers
Love seeing the excitement and pure joy you are feeling! Which is how we felt when this came out in 1971 as I was graduating from high school. Great reaction!
This brought tears to my eyes! Thank you ! This is my most favorite band, and I would not be alive today had it not been for The Who as a band as well as the individuals who make up the band especially Pete and Keith. To see how much happiness this music continues to bring is the personification of joy!❤
my favorite live track of The Who is 'Young Man Blues' from 1970's Isle of Wight (even more energy) and they were definitely among the Top 5 live acts of the Seventies!
Great video - your excitement and laughter and rocking out while you watched was exactly the kind of reaction the Who deserved! Also, you're very smart to notice how incredibly powerful and inventive bassist John Entwistle was, even though he was the only one who didn't go nuts visually. I'm happy you've discovered the greatest live band in the history of rock!
The Real Me is my favorite bass song of all times. There is a reason why great bass legends like Geddy Lee and Chris Squire considered John Entwistle their hero.
Great reaction as always. This was the 1st song they played at my mother's funeral after the service in the bar parking lot where she worked. Talk about a celebration of life, R.I.P MoM...Shine On
Love that you reviewed this and exposed it to a new generation. I've probably watched their live "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Reily" 50 times and it gives me chills every time. Unmatched explosiveness.
Wait for the scream.... Rodger Daltry epitomises angst. You mentioned the bass The Ox (John Entwistle) made the band, the drummer (Keith Moon) for all his skill wasn't the best at keeping time and the guitarist (Pete Townshend) is all over the place, Entwistle's bass ties these disparate elements together to tie the song together while also flying across the bass's fretboard like Eddie Van Halen. Truly the Ox, RIP. At the end of the interlude Moon's drums are humanity's reply to the monatonic perfection of the Mellatron, and if there was anybody who didn't fit the symetric mold of the machine, it was Keith Moon, RIP.
Love the reaction! "Coffee should take them in the morning" "His body is the amplifier" Townshend was reknowned in his younger days for his physicality
AHH YES! These guys were the epitome of Rock N Roll! I remember hearing a story about a concert they did in San Francisco and the drummer Keith Moon had taken a tranquilizer before the show and passed out during the show, literally falling off his drum stool. The rest of the band was like, is there anyone in the crowd that can play the drums? Hilarious! Rock On!
Fantastic reaction! I saw them when they played Fillmore East every night for a week played their rock opera, “ Tommy”. The were incredibly phenomenal.
So glad you enjoyed my generation. I’ve seen The WHO 5 times from 1970-onwards and have never seen any of them EVER loose their enthusiasm. Period! I don’t know how Pete hasn’t had knee surgery and replacement by now. ❤️❤️❤️
Once again there was an iconic part many of us knew was coming (in this it was the SCREAM) and your reaction was priceless. Best reaction channel on TH-cam. 🤘🏽
This was used as the theme for CSI: Miami, with that "YEAAAH!" scream starting it off. "Who Are You" for CSI, "Baba O'Riley" for CSI:NY and "I Can See For Miles" for CSI: Cyber.
You are now a Follower of The Noise. Welcome. And John Entwistle is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He was also a fine composer in his own right, though Pete Townsend was such a strong and prolific writer that John usually couldn't get more than a couple of songs on each album. He did several solo albums, though, and I've never seen anyone react to that stuff, so if you want to do a deep dive after listening to more of the many many MANY great Who tracks, I think you'll be in for a treat if you listen to some of their solo work. "Too Late the Hero" is my favorite John Entwistle song, a more reflective piece and a bit of a departure for someone known for blowing the doors off the stage.
I came across your reaction to "Freebird" last week and immediately subscribed to your channel. I love how you exhibit the same pure joy that the audience experiences. Being an old guy, mid 60's, (ugh) your reactions bring back so many memories from my youth that I cherish. I was lucky enough to see "The Clash" open for "The Who" and it was mind blowing. I'm pretty sure everyone who attended left drenched in sweat and spent. May I suggest another song? 'Reign Over Me'. Roger Daltrey's voice is life altering. And if you want to hear another classic from that era, with perhaps the greatest sax solo ever, 'Jungleland' by "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band". A version from the 70's or the 80's. Best of luck and keep up the GREAT work.
To see the sheer genuine enjoyment and ur mind processing the sounds during the keyboard solo and the final? Epic! Reminded me of the eargasims i had first hearing this. And um. Rewound that part of the keyboard to the epic meet the new boss 5 times while writting this. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah
I recently saw this performance for the first time and man what energy these guys have it's funny how most of the band is going crazy and the bass player isn't doing much This is one of the all time great songs by The Who every time I hear this on the radio the scream in the middle is incredible Roger Daltrey was a fantastic front man the mic swinging in this performance is crazy
I was born the year this song came out, and while I was familiar with their radio songs growing up, it wasn't until the early 90's did I become a true fan. They've been my #1 band ever since, and it was from seeing videos like this that blew my young 20 year old mind. This video is just one of many were they just kick ass from start to finish. I would also recommend "A Quick One" from the Rolling Stones R&R Circus, as that was another video that lead me to the greatest live band of all time, and it never gets old to watch. Moon is at about 85% of his skills here(a lil out of shape), but the AQO performance, he's easily at 110%.
YES! "A Quick One" from the RSRRC is one of the best rock performance I've seen on film and Moon was insane. I wish there more reactions to that vid, but I worry that folks wouldn't understand the format. A definite vote for me - a must see.
It’s crazy how many bands that you, me, and so many others probably around our age first listen to these songs with you when you do these reactions! Judging by the thumbnail, this is gonna be another classic reaction from how happy you look in it 😭 Looking forward to more of these older bands as a first listen through with you! ❤️
Great reaction! This was the last live performance with Moon i think. Funny how cocaine reacts with different people! John chillin like a cat, Pete all over the place, Moon in his groove and Daltrey just being his regular howling self! (He claimed he never did coke)😂😂😂 The Who put on great concerts!
Aileen - check out some earlier videos of The Who such as Woodstock or Isle of Wight shows from late 60s or early 70s. There's also a complete video of their "Tommy" opera from that period as well. Their physicality and showmanship is very evident - unmatched by any other talent of that time period. They were also considered the loudest band in the world at that time. Towshend, the primary song writer, not known for his shredding or noodling, but fantastic at his heavy chord phrasing accentuated by his windmilling technique. This was considered hard rock before bands such as Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc took it to different levels of progressive heavy metal. The Who's sound and stage presence was their fortay. Entwistle's bass at times was heavier sounding than Petes guitar. Moon's drumming was beautifully organized chaos, highly respected by his peers, and Roger's voice and mic-twirling being unique. Enjoy the rabbit holes Aileen.
Such an iconic song. That ranked as the loudest scream in rock history at one time. And it's worthwhile to take some time with the lyrics. Still so spot on today.

Not just "pinball wizard". What about ALL of Tommy
Daltry, Townshend, Moon and Entwistle are as good a combination as there has ever been in music history
Amen
Truly removed from time and ahead of the time. If you allow me to be so bland... they were the Tool of their time. And still are
Absolutely
Just like Paul John George and Ringo.
They was like Supergroup before supergroup was a thing.
The Roger Daltry scream and Pete Townsend slide are so iconic. The Who had so much crazy energy on stage. They used to destroy their equipment at the end of shows. And the wildest one was drummer Keith Moon who partied himself to death 😮
The most iconic moment in rock history. Just awesome
He's with Bon Scott and John Bonham now.

True and true!
THUNDERFINGERS!💥💥💥

On May 31, 1976, The Who performed at The Valley, an open-air stadium in Charlton, London. The concert was part of their tour in support of their seventh album, The Who by Numbers.
The Who were known for their loud and energetic live performances. At the concert at The Valley, they used a massive sound system that was capable of producing over 120 decibels of sound.

Have to say that's one of the best descriptions of The Who that I've heard!
One of the greatest rock & roll anthems of all time!!
Super iconic band. They set the standard for live performances of their era, with Pete Townsend (guitar), Roger Daltrey (vocals), and Keith Moon (drums) going completely batshit crazy on stage and ol' stoneface, John Entwistle, arguably the greatest bassist of his generation, being the rock holding everything down. They were also responsible for pioneering both punk rock and prog rock, which is super impressive given those genres are often considered polar opposites. IMO, their masterpiece is the concept album Quadrophenia, which they even made a movie out of. Love Reign O'er Me is my favorite The Who song, but they have so many classics.
The greatest scream in rock music
What I love about The Who, is just how damn heavy they could be, but with dynamics - intense periods between power and quiet, then they bring it back again.
Each band member considered up there with any other all-time greats for each instrument and the lead vocal.
That moment after the laser effects and the band comes back... Thats universally referred to as "The Scream". its a singular moment in rock n roll.
Excellent choice!! If this is your 1st Who reaction, you are in for a killer journey!! "Love Reign O'er Me", "Baba O Reilly", "Behind Blue Eyes" would be nice follow ups....
The guitarist is Pete Townsend, bass John Entwistle, Keith Moon on drums, Roger Daltry vocals. All legends. John and Keith are gone now, but the music lives on. Great reaction!
You will love Who Are You, the video is them in the studio, having fun, you get to see a bit more of their personality.... and it's one of the greatest rock songs of all time!
Hey baby doll, Glad you're digging The Who! These guys have been rocking for decades and know how to put on a hell of a show!! Love your reactions and your beautiful smile! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋🦊🦊🦊🦊
Thank yoy, thank you, thank you!!! FOR THIS MASTERPIECE♥️🖤♠️
They have so many great songs, and they are hands down the best live band
Your reaction is right on (as we used to say)!!!!! Now imagine having hundreds of bands performing at this level!!!!! It was THE BEST OF TIMES!!!! ☮️❤️
I love but am surprised how "younger audiences" like Aileen are seemingly taken aback by the punkish power of performances like this one, where destruction of instruments is on the table, and blood is probably on the floor, lol! I may be wrong, but I suspect so much is planned out, stage-managed, and worse, Gawd, FOCUS-GROUPED before being performed. ("Well, Pete, focus groups say they like it more when Roger destroys his mic, so...")
Seeing your reaction to "the most famous scream in Rock'n'Roll" when you heard it for the first time, was priceless....
The Who guitars , drums and screaming vocals, probably the best Rock Band Ever!
Out of all the songs The Who does. This is it, Awesome song
As a 70s kid, The Who was one of my first favorite bands. Still waiting to see you react to one of my favorite 80s bands - Skinny Puppy, Tin Omen.
Hey, I guess I'm not the only Who fan who likes SP after all.
@@littlejimmy7402 definitely not. I've been a fan since Rabies came out. Got to see them live for their Too Dark Park tour.
Listen to Love, Reign o'er Me its an amazing song by the who
My favorite song by The Who.
One of the best songs and album closers ever!
Thank you! I grew up on The Who. This song is an absolute masterpiece.
The Whos live chemistry is unmatched and the secret to that mojo is that they flirted the line between controlled chaos and just chaos... sometimes they would derail. When they didn't, it was spectacular, raw, powerful... Maximum R&B! The sum is more than the parts here. John Entwistle is probably my fav musician of all time, a lot of the sound you are hearing and he was so much more than a bass player. Pete Townshend said im an interview that after he died they had to replace him with a brass section, keys, and additional percussion to fill the void!
Quite possibly one of the most important songs in rock history! The songs meaning is just as important now as it was then and should never be forgotten!
That "Yeeeeeaaaah" scream has to be top 3 screams in rock history. Absolutely a legendary, epic moment.
One of the greatest screams in rock'n'roll history. Take a look at the lyrics, too. The message of the song is summed up in the last couple of lines - “Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.” Pete Townsend is not only an energetic guitarist (The windmill strum is his signature move.), he also composed almost all of the Who's music. Other Who tracks to check out include Baba O'Reilly, Love Reign O'er Me, Pinball Wizard, Who Are You, and so many more.
I love your reactions! You actually move to the music! Pete Townsend is the guitarist and Keith Moon was the drummer. John Entwistle is on bass, Roger Daltrey is the frontman. Sex and Drugs and Rock and Rock and Roll fueled many bands during this era! Not all but some. Concerts and bar bands were what we did! As teenagers!❤
You are adorable in this, Aileen. I love the energy you brought to this and that smile. You look happier than ever. ❤️
And yes, The Who changed popular music forever and spawned new styles like Punk Rock. They're one of the most important and influential bands in history.
Performances like this are what keep Rock n' Roll alive! They are forefathers of hard rock and this era (early 70's) is them at the top of the mountain!
The show wasn't over until the drum kit was spread across the stage and Pete Townshend had smashed a guitar.
Many say Animal from the Muppets was patterned after Keith Moon, and they do share a unique drumming style. Although I don't remember Animal taping his headphones to his head.
And the tour wasn't over until Moon had trashed a hotel room.
Around the time of this performance, The Who was in the Guinness Bock of World Records as the loudest band in history. They've been passed, but at that point, they were known to be LOUD!
The lyric was profound and true back when this was released, and it's sadly still true today! They had such great energy, wrote brilliant songs, and made every performance a spectacle. Well worth you looking at some more Aileen. 👍
You probably already know this, but The Who held the Guinness World Record for the loudest band on tour for eight years. Love your reactions, thanks.!
One of my favorite videos of all time. To see them do this live is beyond awesome.
That scream is the quintessential rock scream that all others are judged against. Greatest scream in rock n roll. I don't even think it's open to debate.
"They have chaos down to a science." That's the best description I've ever heard of their live performances.
“They probably have chaos down to a science”
Hands down the most tame way I have heard The Who described. They were the chaos. And it was beautiful.
Everybody plays the Lead in this band. This song came out 52 years ago in my early 20s. I saw them live in the '70s, and
they played for 3 hours; my ears are still ringing. Amazingly Sonic, heavy, and exploding with kinetic energy. Real Rock & Roll,
dangerous, edgy, explosive, and musical adrenaline. You don't see live music like that anymore.
I was 16 at the Isle of Wight 1970 and for me,The Who owned the stage.
The hells angels near me certainly thought so.
The guitarist pete townshend was an absolute amazing musician and composer. Also known for his windmill technique and he was the pioneer of smashing guitars. As much as it seemed like they get along the band fought a little bit and broke up for a while in the early 80s
Great reaction... It's so much more fun watching you enjoying it for the first time. In my opinion that is one of the best live songs ever recorded that you just witnessed. I'm Glad You observe so many different things going on especially the quiet bass player. Unfortunately this was the drummer's last or second-to-last show before he passed away. The bass player passed away in 2002 I believe. The lead singer and guitar player still tour to this day and they are around 80 years old. The band was never the same ever since the drummer died. One of my other favorite lives songs The Who did was called... A quick one while he's away. The song is in okay song when you first hear it butt grows on you the more you do. Putting that aside the live performance, again is one of the most epic performances you will ever see and they did it in front of all these rock and roll Stars. It was filmed for a Rolling Stone movie back in the sixties, like 1968. The who was so good that night that the Rolling Stones did not release it till like 1994. Because the who just destroyed every other band. I hope you enjoy it as much as who fans did
118 bpm. They definitely got you going 😂 The Who are incredible.
Sooooo many good songs.
I like - Bargain
Pinball Wizard - is a classic.
Love Reign O'er me - is an exceptional piece of art.
Behind Blue eyes - is beautiful.
My Generation - is a banger.
Eminance Front - is Funky af.
Etc. Etc.
We call that scream a "Primal Scream" and it is one of the best moments ever in music. Epic is an excellent word to describe this performance.
2:52..Yeah, they had thier chaos down..Offstage they were some wild boys, too..Hotel-room destroying after-concert parties up the wazoo! I'll remember these guys as one of the most grandiose, loudest, energetic band I've ever seen live. But thier music was very deep ,creative and ear-grabbing. Loved watching you bop and smile to this classic! "Love reign over me" should be your next Who song
Hey Aileen, just stumbled into your videos. Saw The Who in 76 in Munich. I was on the floor right up against the barrier separating the crowd from the stage and Daltry was about 10 feet in front of me. Everytime he threw the mic out we all tried to catch it. We where never close. The thing that strikes me to this day is the band was tight. Each membeer of the band would be in their own world until the beat came down and they were absolute on time with each other. It was just amazing.
John (the ox)Entwhistle was never all that theatrical, but when you see just how active he was on the bass, you can see just why he has the nickname thunderfingers
Love seeing the excitement and pure joy you are feeling! Which is how we felt when this came out in 1971 as I was graduating from high school. Great reaction!
Welcome to the 29th year of your life Aileen, and a better introduction you could not have with this song as your anthem :)
When this tune was released during the Summer of 1971 it took the world by storm.
This brought tears to my eyes! Thank you ! This is my most favorite band, and I would not be alive today had it not been for The Who as a band as well as the individuals who make up the band especially Pete and Keith. To see how much happiness this music continues to bring is the personification of joy!❤
my favorite live track of The Who is 'Young Man Blues' from 1970's Isle of Wight (even more energy) and they were definitely among the Top 5 live acts of the Seventies!
"how much energy are you guys gonna bring?"
"Yes."
Perfect. 😊
Great video - your excitement and laughter and rocking out while you watched was exactly the kind of reaction the Who deserved! Also, you're very smart to notice how incredibly powerful and inventive bassist John Entwistle was, even though he was the only one who didn't go nuts visually. I'm happy you've discovered the greatest live band in the history of rock!
Glad you enjoyed it. Since you love bass so much, "The Real Me" by the Who would be a great piece to react to. I think you'd enjoy it.
The Real Me is my favorite bass song of all times. There is a reason why great bass legends like Geddy Lee and Chris Squire considered John Entwistle their hero.
My personal fav is 'Love Reign O'er Me'...Insane vocals...If you do it I say do the studio version...
Certainly one of the greatest vocal performances in rock - or music as a whole - history.
Rog had to have fractured his larynx or something
The Best of the Best.Changed when they Lost Moon and Thunder Fingers.The saddest part is that Who was Left got to old to continue.
Great reaction as always. This was the 1st song they played at my mother's funeral after the service in the bar parking lot where she worked. Talk about a celebration of life, R.I.P MoM...Shine On
A magnificent reaction from you here, Maddy! ❤
I would suggest you try The Who's live rendition of "Baba O'Riley."
Enjoy! 😊
An actual review of the greatest band of all time! Thank you Aileen!
Love that you reviewed this and exposed it to a new generation. I've probably watched their live "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Baba O'Reily" 50 times and it gives me chills every time. Unmatched explosiveness.
Wait for the scream.... Rodger Daltry epitomises angst. You mentioned the bass The Ox (John Entwistle) made the band, the drummer (Keith Moon) for all his skill wasn't the best at keeping time and the guitarist (Pete Townshend) is all over the place, Entwistle's bass ties these disparate elements together to tie the song together while also flying across the bass's fretboard like Eddie Van Halen. Truly the Ox, RIP.
At the end of the interlude Moon's drums are humanity's reply to the monatonic perfection of the Mellatron, and if there was anybody who didn't fit the symetric mold of the machine, it was Keith Moon, RIP.
Love the reaction! "Coffee should take them in the morning" "His body is the amplifier" Townshend was reknowned in his younger days for his physicality
That first line is the best I have heard in some time, Pete was a bit crazy back in the day, and a musical genius.
AHH YES! These guys were the epitome of Rock N Roll! I remember hearing a story about a concert they did in San Francisco and the drummer Keith Moon had taken a tranquilizer before the show and passed out during the show, literally falling off his drum stool. The rest of the band was like, is there anyone in the crowd that can play the drums? Hilarious! Rock On!
And then a guy from the audience came up and played drums!
Fantastic reaction! I saw them when they played Fillmore East every night for a week played their rock opera, “ Tommy”. The were incredibly phenomenal.
So glad you enjoyed my generation. I’ve seen The WHO 5 times from 1970-onwards and have never seen any of them EVER loose their enthusiasm. Period! I don’t know how Pete hasn’t had knee surgery and replacement by now. ❤️❤️❤️
One of the best drummers in history in the background there, Mr. Keith Moon!
Absolutely love the Who!!! Love Reign O’er Me is a fantastic song
Once again there was an iconic part many of us knew was coming (in this it was the SCREAM) and your reaction was priceless. Best reaction channel on TH-cam. 🤘🏽
This was used as the theme for CSI: Miami, with that "YEAAAH!" scream starting it off. "Who Are You" for CSI, "Baba O'Riley" for CSI:NY and "I Can See For Miles" for CSI: Cyber.
Great to see bands from my area being appreciated by a younger crowd across the pond ❤
You are now a Follower of The Noise. Welcome.
And John Entwistle is one of the greatest bassists of all time. He was also a fine composer in his own right, though Pete Townsend was such a strong and prolific writer that John usually couldn't get more than a couple of songs on each album. He did several solo albums, though, and I've never seen anyone react to that stuff, so if you want to do a deep dive after listening to more of the many many MANY great Who tracks, I think you'll be in for a treat if you listen to some of their solo work. "Too Late the Hero" is my favorite John Entwistle song, a more reflective piece and a bit of a departure for someone known for blowing the doors off the stage.
I came across your reaction to "Freebird" last week and immediately subscribed to your channel. I love how you exhibit the same pure joy that the audience experiences. Being an old guy, mid 60's, (ugh) your reactions bring back so many memories from my youth that I cherish. I was lucky enough to see "The Clash" open for "The Who" and it was mind blowing. I'm pretty sure everyone who attended left drenched in sweat and spent. May I suggest another song? 'Reign Over Me'. Roger Daltrey's voice is life altering. And if you want to hear another classic from that era, with perhaps the greatest sax solo ever, 'Jungleland' by "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band". A version from the 70's or the 80's. Best of luck and keep up the GREAT work.
To see the sheer genuine enjoyment and ur mind processing the sounds during the keyboard solo and the final? Epic! Reminded me of the eargasims i had first hearing this. And um. Rewound that part of the keyboard to the epic meet the new boss 5 times while writting this. Yeeeeeeeaaaaaaah
I recently saw this performance for the first time and man what energy these guys have it's funny how most of the band is going crazy and the bass player isn't doing much This is one of the all time great songs by The Who every time I hear this on the radio the scream in the middle is incredible Roger Daltrey was a fantastic front man the mic swinging in this performance is crazy
I was born the year this song came out, and while I was familiar with their radio songs growing up, it wasn't until the early 90's did I become a true fan. They've been my #1 band ever since, and it was from seeing videos like this that blew my young 20 year old mind. This video is just one of many were they just kick ass from start to finish. I would also recommend "A Quick One" from the Rolling Stones R&R Circus, as that was another video that lead me to the greatest live band of all time, and it never gets old to watch. Moon is at about 85% of his skills here(a lil out of shape), but the AQO performance, he's easily at 110%.
YES! "A Quick One" from the RSRRC is one of the best rock performance I've seen on film and Moon was insane. I wish there more reactions to that vid, but I worry that folks wouldn't understand the format. A definite vote for me - a must see.
You said "Chaos down to a science". I LOVE that phrase! You nailed it!
It’s crazy how many bands that you, me, and so many others probably around our age first listen to these songs with you when you do these reactions! Judging by the thumbnail, this is gonna be another classic reaction from how happy you look in it 😭 Looking forward to more of these older bands as a first listen through with you! ❤️
Great reaction! This was the last live performance with Moon i think. Funny how cocaine reacts with different people! John chillin like a cat, Pete all over the place, Moon in his groove and Daltrey just being his regular howling self! (He claimed he never did coke)😂😂😂 The Who put on great concerts!
So who was on the coke then? Only one really....
Moon was for sure and John often said he was too. Pete? Well.....lolol
These guys were legendary for being on "coffee". Yup, that's what to call it 🤣
Simply the greatest hard rock track ever recorded. Perfect choice and reaction.
Aileen - check out some earlier videos of The Who such as Woodstock or Isle of Wight shows from late 60s or early 70s. There's also a complete video of their "Tommy" opera from that period as well. Their physicality and showmanship is very evident - unmatched by any other talent of that time period. They were also considered the loudest band in the world at that time. Towshend, the primary song writer, not known for his shredding or noodling, but fantastic at his heavy chord phrasing accentuated by his windmilling technique. This was considered hard rock before bands such as Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc took it to different levels of progressive heavy metal. The Who's sound and stage presence was their fortay. Entwistle's bass at times was heavier sounding than Petes guitar. Moon's drumming was beautifully organized chaos, highly respected by his peers, and Roger's voice and mic-twirling being unique.
Enjoy the rabbit holes Aileen.
Such an iconic song. That ranked as the loudest scream in rock history at one time. And it's worthwhile to take some time with the lyrics. Still so spot on today.
That's the best description of Townshend I've ever heard, "He's got the Zoomies"! 😂
"They ahve Chaos down to a science." What a fantastic and perceptive comment...especially after less than 3 minutes! They do, indeed.
The greatest thing about the who they're still touring the singer and guitarist in their mid 70s and still have the same energy .
