I was playing this song over and over real loud in my room when I was a kid and my stepdad opened the door and yelled "Turn this sh*t off!". I turned the volume down at first, but I gradually turned it up over an hour or so. He burst into my room and picked up my stereo and smashed it on the ground - and it didn't turn off! He tried again and it kept on playing - even louder! This went on for about 5 minutes and he eventually gave up. He's in prison now for writing bad checks.

1982, hell I was already well into my 20s.....Thanks to my older brother who introduced me to The Who, LZ, Cream, and other great bands when I was in ELEMENTARY school, I was already a HUGE Who fan. Now? I'm ancient. Somehow along the way, I blew out my liver, survived a mild bout with cancer, and bested two heart attacks. I like to think that these boys and their High-Test piss-and-vinegar music helped me along the way. Now I am old and just wealthy enough to own a wonderfully outrageous stereo system that I could only dream about in high school. So, I get to enjoy it all over again and exactly the way it was SUPPOSED to sound. I sure do hope my neighbors like them. Thanks Gents!

Well, Pete has always been The Who. He's always written the songs alone, and then introduce the others to it. And of course, offering suggestions of how he wanted it done. There's a great documentary simply named "Who's Next". It shows Pete Gett'n It Done. I feel he's underappreciated, just say'n

This may be their best performance of this iconic song. PT’s guitar work is ridiculous, the lyrics are sublime. Love be this.

This man right here, Peter Townshend, is and was meant to be put on this earth as a legendary guitar player. I first saw him play at age 16 at Woodstock. Nobody there could hold a candle to this guy. As Pete aged, he got better/ as hard as that sounds to imagine. He is one of the greatest guitar performers in the history of rock and roll. Carry on Pete, your greatest fan.

Pete is a monster guitar player and I love his intensity. However, there were a few other great players at Woodstock, including Hendrix and Mr. Santana. I think Carlos' 50-year career has been amazing. Only the Rolling Stones and Santana have had a Top Ten album in SIX different decades. That's pretty impressive. This is meant only to show that great guitarists like Santana, Townshend, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Al DiMeola, Hendrix, Clapton and others compliment each other. They're not in competition. One is not greater than the other. We all have our favorites and yours, Pete Townshend, is among the best!

I could listen to his lead guitar introduction for half an hour more...It is this kind of thing that you never hear again anywhere!

I watched this on TV in the 70's and was mesmerized by this music, I'm 59 now and I'm still mesmerized. Pete Townsend is a beast of a guitar player. And Roger usually does the lead vocals. But seeing them when I was so young taught me not to judge a book by its cover.

Watch closely and pay attention. This is what they used to call “rock & roll”. Played by a “super band”. They used to roam the earth in the late 20th century. They would put out an album of hit songs about once each year. Every song on the album was brilliant. There were very few throw away pieces of the pop shit you hear today. God I miss good music!

26 years old here born in the mid to late 1990s. My earliest memories are riding in my dads 1993 dodge pickup truck blaring THE WHO on the cassette deck, the cars, tears for fears, guns n roses, phill Collins, Steve earl, the list goes on. So many older people are amazed at what I listen to. Strictly 70s 80s 90s music. This kind of music has a soul, not made to make money. Times were different and I am jealous of every person who go to experience the 1980s as an adult such a magical time it seemed to be from the outside looking in. It’s a put on.

For some reason I really enjoyed it when Townsend did his own singing and solo songs! It’s like he was liberated or freed! Especially Rough Boys and this song! He was really peaking and I really like his reedy voice! Not great but good and unique! You know it’s him! And he looked rejuvenated for his Solo tour! His hair still looked good even! 👏🏻
