the 100-Watt Hiwatt's heads Pete Townsend and Jim Marshall created so Pete could keep up with the sheer volume Moon and Entwistle made, it was Pete Townsend who created Heavy Metal, without the 100- Watt Head Heavy Metal would have perhaps never happened, or would have been a little later in rock's evolution, Blue Cheer , the Detroit Sence, Psychedelic Garage Era Bands, the British Blues Era, Yardbirds, Kinks, even the Troggs " Wild Thing " not forgetting Eddie Phillips and the Creation then they had bigger amps and loudness happened, but to say the song Helter Skelter created Metal is a joke it's was Clapton and Page playing guitar on that song Vic Flick, but it wasn't Harrison or Lennon sorry they were hacks look at the guitars they played really Lennon played crap guitars

@IamSkullrules , John Lennon played an Epiphone casino. The best guitar I've ever played, unplugged unfortunately, was a Blonde Epiphone casino. It felt like it was made especially for me. It just felt right. This was a 1970 American made model. This was around 1974 and i couldn't afford the £375, second hand price. I've never forgotten about that guitar. It's the one that got away.

@@jefferyfite7122 how you doing Jeff. I have been listening to THE WHO since the late 60s. And there's not a drummer to come close to Keith Moon. Ringo Starr son Zach is the drummer for THE WHO now and has been for a while now. And he used to sit on Keith's lap and play the drums with Keith. If you ever get a chance listen to Zach playing with the who. I close my eyes and I hear Keith playing this is now good Zach is now. As for Keith he just had to take everything to extreme. He once blacked out in the middle of a concert in San Francisco. Someone ask him if he wanted to take a horse tranquilizer. He said I am Keith Moon and he took a few of them. But Pete Townshend ask if anyone could play the drums and this guy got up on stage and played the drums for the rest of the show. Now that's one lucky dude playing Keith Moon drum set. Keith was like a little kid at times. What also could have fucked him up was he killed his best friend driving his car. Look it up Keith and a couple of his friends went to open a new club and the kids started a fight with Keith. Keith friend got out of the car to make sure Keith was in the car and Keith got in the driver's seat and ran over his best friend and killed him. They said Keith was never the same. I was reading that he had add I think that's what it's called attention deficit. Jeff rock on buddy and make sure you listen to quadrophenia. The greatest drum's ever and the Bass playing is never going to be duplicated. All 4 of the guys in THE WHO are at the top of the best of what they do. Greatest rock band ever saw THE WHO 5 TIME'S.

Absolutely correct. I was 17 years old in 1989 and had been a rabid Who fan since I was 10. I had all their albums, vhs tapes lol and my room was plastered with Who posters and cut out pics from magazines. I was fortunate enough to get tickets to the 1989 Tommy tour at Carter Finley Stadium in North Carolina. I remember walking out of the stadium after the show and thinking to myself…. I get it now. I understand why they’re the greatest live band of all time. I thought I understood before but until you’ve witnessed it for yourself it’s hard to describe. 72,000 people singing along with Pete in the break during Baba O’Riley and my goosebumps had goosebumps. Who songs were meant to be played live in front of an audience. Pete wrote rock anthems that can only be truly appreciated live at an incredible volume. They were an awesome studio band but live they were legends. Just out of this world.

No one could touch them live. The songs Pete wrote were meat to be played live in front of an audience. He wrote rock anthems. In my opinion The Who was and still is the greatest live band in the history of rock music. Zeppelin were great. The Stones were great. But neither could touch The Who in their prime.

the best song from Woodstock

Rock music reached it's pinnacle at that very moment and then finally fizzled and died by the year 2000. It will never come back but thank god it happened.

There will never be great bands like the Who it was a special time in human history.

In terms of "live" music, for me this was the peak. This five minutes. It was never as good from anyone else and it would never peak like this again. And never will. It's like they were possessed for this brief moment in time.

"Do you think its alright"? YES

Explosively good.

The music is more than perfect, but lyrics mean the truth.

See them live in Rome 1971 palaueur... Still remember that Jacket with fringes and dove painted or embroided on the back.....

Frigging awesome. Center of the soul of rock & roll....put this video in a time capsule....

this song still kills me

When they go into the breaks,particularly the second one where Pete does a bit of lead,the guitar tone when he goes to the lower strings is the reason i’m now on the lookout for a vintage SG,a Hiwatt 1970 head and i’ve already got a late ‘60’s Kimbara fuzz box waiting. This is what maximum rock n roll is all about!

The first time I heard this was when my uncle wasin the Vietnam war and he'd send us music that they got first ,so it's a whole lot of great memories he made it home ,.

LEGENDARY ! Best live performance , Bravo !

Sounds~Feels like the emotions/actions of making love, starting out slow & easy then going faster until . . . So introspective ~ romantic it weaves a tale in your mind. Rogers’s maximum vocals bring it on home with help from Pete’s & John’s backup harmonies. Goosebumps! What a Powerful Band!!! LOVE 💖
