​@@alpetrocelli4465 Very true, but Cream came several years after (1965), the Who had broken many barriers like using distortion, feedback, massive volume, and largely pioneering the "power-trio" rock format. Cream were master musicians who took the format to new places, and established more radio acceptance for power-rock in the later-60s. But the musical rivalry in Cream was quite volatile, dangerous, and they only lasted three years. The Who were unique in that they stayed together, despite their explosive combo of 4 lead lunatics.

​@@alpetrocelli4465 Yes, I also love both bands, and Ginger was a lead drummer too. His drumming was particularly impactful, often laying down complex poly-rhythms that would transform a "traditional blues" into Cream. Moon was an impactful lead player, but in a different way. Moon would often start drumming along with the vocals, or following the melody, literally playing his drums like a lead instrument. About Ginger, have you ever seen the documentary "Beware of Mr. Baker"? I was surprised to learn that Ginger was perhaps even more insane than Keith Moon!

For those of us that absolutely refused disco in the late 70’s.

This is the way we got together in the old days. We didn't hide behind walls.

At college in 1970 we would hold "Tommy" parties. Brought our pillows, sprawled on the floor and listened to "Tommy" all the way through. Funny though, no one ever fell asleep...memories. Blessings all.

The Who were a superb live band

Give the Tommy movie a miss it`s novelty value only. You could watch the 25min set for the 9/11 tribute gig in 2001 they went down a storm and basically blew everybody else off the stage.

I have seen The Who in concert three times _- in July 1970, two months before this performance, 1980 and 2019. They are my favorite live band.

That was so awesome I cried, God I miss my youth

Moon the Loon at his peak. You can just see and hear his playing is so ferocious. Then he's merely good but a shell of his former self by comparison in the Shepperton Studios performance less than a decade later. They were such a finely tuned machine by 1970 and they capitalized on that touring sharpness by cutting Who's Next which rocketed them to another level. What a clip!

Incredible performance

Saw Daltry last week up here in Niagara Falls as part of his solo "acoustic/electric" tour. For a guy who's 80 now, his voice was amazing. Pete's younger brother Simon was in the really good backing band. Great show.

They were the center of rock music in that time frame!Lee you need to do Getting In Tune which is fantastic and on WHO’s NEXT, best rock album of all time!

Tommy!!! Nothing but great music and then add Ann Margaret covered in baked beans!!! I loved my youth!!

Gotta love this older Who, their intensity was awesome. In the movie Tommy, this part was so powerful... The album Tommy is epic, probably their best, in my opinion.

I lived through the late 60's and early 70's and was never really into "The Who" and was more into bands like "Cream", "Led Zeppelin", Grand Funk Railroad", etc. Looking back now I see some of what I missed, and yes I've always loved certain songs, but have never owned one of their albums.

they deserve to be up there with those two as well imo. every future band is modeled on these guys or zeppelin. cream was the shit too, though. i've loved every song i've heard by cream.

This constituted a big, original and very new thing called a “light show” back in 1970. This tune is on the Woodstock Album, that’s how I first heard it. There is no band NO band more dynamic than The WHO in their prime. I never grew up in a “normal world.” I don’t think anyone has. My parents, born in 1930 were kids/teens during the Great Depression and World War II. They had no idea what the future held. We see it from the future, look back and say it turned out alright, so what’s the problem? My grandparents lived through WW I, a deadly influenza outbreak that killed millions, The Crash of 1929, etc. You get the idea. We make the best with the times were given; play the hand we’re dealt. I know many who played a good hand badly….. ….and others who played a bad hand will skill and finesse and won it all. You sound like one of those

I saw them do this show 4 different times and they were KILLER each time. Loved your reaction.

No artist has written more anthems than The Who. If Roger Pete and Zak come around on tour, don't miss them.

I was in 9th grade when this came out and I rushed out and bought the album "Tommy" which I still have along with the london symphony orchestra version. I had one other version which has disappeared over the years

I want to compliment you on your insight into the current state of things: "They want to brand everything and buzzword everything, make a medication for everything ..." Incredibly profound and cogent!

Next to the Beatles the Who are my favorite group seen them 4 times Best concert I ever saw was their 19th anniversary concert where they closed the show with this number When they put the lights on the crowd at the end the crowd goes crazy knowing their sing tous that we give them the music and the inspiration Magig Bus rom this concert is killer Have you heard anything rom the Who see out ? great but under listened to You can hear Petes working on Tommy here its like a preview its made sound llike your listening to it on the radio complete with comercialw

One of the cool things about this performance by The Who is their set wrapped up at about 3:30am. There were no curfews back in those days, and many rock festivals like Woodstock went nonstop 24x7.

Excellent track from the phenomenal Tommy album. ❤ See Me Feel Me was a #1 record for The Who in my region here in Canada 🇨🇦

The Who could not be beat for live performance. When I first saw them at the old Music Hall in Boston, 3 rows from the stage, debuting Who’s Next I was lit up for days after! They were using equipment that had been rained on at Woodstock and man, the roadies got a workout! Roger’s mike shorted out and he whipped it to the side of the stage, Pete was openly working on a bottle of Southern Comfort all through the show and his amp/guitar had issues too, but it just built the tension. You never knew what the hell was going to happen next. So at the end when Pete said to his guitar, “I guess I won’t be seeing you again, we lost our minds knowing he was going to smash it. He did, and threw the remains into the audience. Wish I had caught that baby! So have you covered all the early stuff? ‘I Can See for Miles, The Seeker, Pictures of Lilly, The Kids Are Alright, Happy Jack, Substitute?

I was there in 69 and 70. A lot of wonderful bands.Absolutely brilliant. If I remember, they arrived by helicopter shortly before this.

We wore this album out in 1970!

Oh, love love love this one! Dang, gonna miss two good premieres tomorrow lol! 'Me' is as good at choosing songs as that L33 fella!

An Entwistle hidden gem from Who Are You..... "905"!!! It's an awesome black humor track that John is famous for

Tommy was their first concept double album that blew the socks off all of us, but the studio version is really pure and worth every minute of your time. I was totally taken aback by their next studio double album concept story in 'Quadraphenia'. Mind blowing must listen.

Classic Who! 🎉❤😊

That's what made The Who unique, they all played lead.

One of my favorite Who songs. Of the big 3 British bands, The Beatles, The Stones and The Who, probably The Who is my favorite, although The Beatles had so many songs, and many different ones, so perhaps a tie with The Who hard to say. DId love Abby Road and Sgt. Peppers as well as The White Album, but this live version of this song is outstanding.

For me Listening to You is the Who,s anthem song. It kind of chokes you up emotionally. Good one.

Again and again, The Who stands out.

Live at Leeds is a superb Who album. I saw them several times back then, always an awesome experience.

I like studio. Live is good after experiencing the studio. I still enjoy your channel.

Listening to the Who, I get the music Gazing at the Who, I get the heat Following the Who , I climb the mountain I get excitement at their feet

For the Who's 88-89 World tour, they rehearsed more than 80 songs for their playlist

This is about a year after Woodstock and 6 months after the Live at Leeds performance. They'd continue to tour the Tommy album for a few more months, although by this time Pete's attention was already shifting toward the Lifehouse project. But this is pretty much as good as these guys ever got.

I don’t know if you’ve heard about the Cincinnati disaster where people died. I was supposed to go & a lot of my friends did. It was agony waiting to find out if they were OK. I saw them 2 days later. For a Who concert the crowd was fairly subdued until they played this. Everyone was 1on their on their feet singing pointing to them pouring out their love. What happened in Cinci was not their fault & the end of festival seating. On the album Roger’s voice is so sweet & gentle.

Heh Lee, great channel! I have a suggestion for your journey of The Who. Back in the early 1990's Pete Townsend worked with Des McAnuff on a Broadway production of Tommy which opened on Broadway in 1993. Des is a Tony winning producer/director and the production earned five Tony Awards, exceptional reviews and is apparently going back on stage in 2025. Take a look and keep up the great work.

Moony May like chaotic but he never missed a beat

The built of " listening to you" is so simple, but not easy. It's one of their best songs...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was sick! Never seen this. Fantastic!

You need to watch “Tommy” the movie! I was very young and with a girlfriend (our men were gone) and we dropped acid and walked to the theater 🎭! It was awesome because we got the giggles 😂😂! That was over 40 years ago and I am a grandma!

I think it was the summer of '82 or '83 HBO played a Who concert....It was kind of like "Uncle Buck" , " Green Mountain" " Shawshank Redemption " If It was on I watched.. it didn't matter how early or late in the veiwing ...I watched.....The Who are Awesome

oh my god look how young!

Most excellent!

We knew

'Sparks/Amazing Journey' also from Woodstock

Damn they were great to see back then , so much energy

Whenever you get to the album, "Tommy", Lee, also be sure to check out the film version of "Tommy" from 1975. It's wonderfully strange!

The Tommy movie is cool. This song comes at a key moment in the story.

In the Movie, Daltrey was perfect as Tommy, and Elton John's "Pinball Wizard" and Tina Turner's "Acid Queen" added fresh, original qualities to their music. Clapton was also impressive on "Eyesight To The Blind". Moon's bizarre performance fit "Uncle Earnie". Unfortunately, some of the Movie's other musical performances were sub-par, and particularly the choices for "Step-Father" Oliver Reed, and "Doctor" Jack Nicholson were terrible as "singers". Some of the Album's spiritual themes also got lost in the Movie, but overall, the Film is worth seeing. But listen to the Tommy Album first!

We can argue about the best drummer all day and night, but there's no argument about the fastest ... Moon 💥

🤘😎🤘

Great song, great band! Check out their rendition of Motown song-writers Holland-Dozier-Holland’s “Leaving Here.” Originally released in 63, The Who released it in 65. Also, check out However Much I Booze and Pure and Easy. ✌️

"See the chrome, feel the chrome, touch the chrome, heal the chrome." FZ

The Seeker is an often overlooked classic. And, for something unusual but also brilliant, try 905.

Keith was in the zone for 32 years.

Check out Run Run Run, the openin' track from the second Who album, A Quick One.

I ve been listening to John Entwhistle more in the band. He really holds it down. Think Pinball Wizard live ❤🎉

Isle of Wight has some great live Tommy, and so does Woodstock (though Wight footage is better). The original Tommy Album might sound "smaller" in comparison to the explosive LIVE Who sound. But Tommy was a change for the Who, with music that was complex, subtle, and particularly focused on telling the story. There are moments of musical nuance, quiet, and ambient sounds. To Moon's annoyance, much of his drumming was intentionally mixed lower. But the reduced drum volume might have helped Tommy be more accessible on American Top-40. Try doing Tommy Side 1) "Overture" is awesome!

My normal world was: JFK assasination a few weeks after I was born, the Vietnam War, (the Korean War having ended only less than a decade before I was born), The Turbulent Sixties, and reading about The Troubles in Ireland, Nixon Gate, multiple gas shortages, fears of a nuclear war with the Soviet Union, (which led to a large cultural affixation with spy novels, movies and TV shows, usually depicting a Soviet KGB or East German KGB spy), the dramatic rise in drug use in our culture, and worst of all, the rise of Disco music.

I'm not quite sure how much time Moonie actually practiced, not a lot. (LOL) If you watch the live performances you'll see him keeping his focus mostly on Towser and followed his lead. According to Pete and Roger, he had so many drums in his kit, he just couldn't miss. Later on, near the end, Moonie couldn't master the 7/8 time on The Music Must Change and there's very drumming on the track. He's quoted a saying, Yes, I'm not having a very good day. But I'm still the greatest ... the greatest Keith Moon type drummer around.

Tommy is meant to be heard as it was written - a rock opera - to be experienced in one sitting. It was structured like a classical opera. There is an overture that includes no lyrics but has elements of many of the melodies. The libretto tells the story of Tommy just as the libretto of Carmen tells Carmen's story. It is somewhat autobiographical and helps the world understand Pete Townsend's early life. It's quite a story. If you need to react one or 2 songs at a time just go in order.
