This just proves "WHO" is the Greatest Rock Band of All Time .....?

No hi-hats Moon is so unique and so freaking dynamic - a run away freight train

John Entwistle's fingers could have their own youtube channel.

Between late 68' to about 74' Keith Moon was simply incredible. Even the Keith Moon GOAT denialists can't "deny" how awesome he was during that time. So fluid, so fast, so dynamic, so unique and so expressive & experimental. The Who in general peaked in that period. To me they're the greatest band ever. Live Who and studio Who are two separate beasts. Both equally brilliant.

Jesus Entwhistle sounds like a one man Apocalypse. The whole concert is one of the best I’ve seen of The Who. Epic.

Holy shit, when these guys were rolling like this they were something to behold !!

They played this song so consistently structured on Leeds, Isle of Wight, Tanglewood, etc., in 1970, but it always sounds improvised. Shows how disciplined they were even though it looked like pandemonium up there on stage. Entwistle is like off-camera thunder. This is a terrific version.

This makes more sense for this day and age.

Moonie would have been 72 today-Rolling Stone said it best-Keith Moon-he died before he got old.R.I.P. Moonie and John.

This may be the best video of The Who doing this song out there. The tone of Pete's guitar, the snap of Moon's drums and the thunder of John's bass all cut through nicely and are rounded out by Roger's vocal.

Outstanding bass playing John badass

The interplay between John and Keith is deadly. Peak period 69 - 71. John's tone through those Hiwatts is godly.

So much raw energy and power!!! Long live the WHO!

Moon is the star of the show!!!

I love how you can tell Pete's guitar has the volume about half way then just cranks it and takes off like a car on the drag strip.. they played so fucking loud

Has anyone ever had more fun being on stage than Keith Moon?

An incredible, brilliant performance! This is the pinnacle of rock at it's finest. RIP to composer Mose Allison, who just passed away.

Actually most of his studio drumming included and often heavily implored high hat drumming. He just didn’t use them when they toured, so their live act would be a bit more chaotic. It’s an interesting contrast hearing The Who play a song on an album, and then the same song live.

@bluesrocker91

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah, I remember Entwistle said the rest of the band could never hear the hi-hat on stage, so he ditched it for a pair of 20 inch ride cymbals... He did reintroduce a hi-hat later in the '70s, by the time onstage monitoring had improved, but even then he rarely used it. I think the clip of them doing Bell Boy at Charlton is about the only footage I've seen of him using a hi-hat live in the '70s.

Probably the best -- from what Pete has to say about him. Because John could play the traditional bass parts and add lead guitar parts at the same time, Pete claimed he was only pretending to be the lead guitar player. Can't get a better compliment than that. :) I've been listening to the most recently mastered tapes on a high quality player, and all the bass work (as well as everything else) comes through clear and sharp. AWESOME!

My oldest brother got live at Leeds 1970 I put it on was hooked ever since I've seen them 26 times I've still got all LPs from 70s great days and people 🇬🇧👍

My favorite Who song. Summer of 1970 provided a number of excellent acts at Tanglewood. Too bad I was only 11 years old; too long of a hitchhike from Boston!

You should check out the Isle of Wight version of this song it is blistering

That electricity between Keith and Pete is crazyyyyy , incredible

I love how it goes straight thrash metal for three seconds at 1:36 before going back to the rock beat.

That's cool that is the best greatest rock ever my life number one band in the world 💗

Agreed on Entwistle... but you know, : The Who - unstoppable !!!

Неповторимая банда!!!!! СИЛА, мощь и виртуозность. Чистый кайф! Красавчики!

I was there!Saw them twice at Tanglewood. What great memories. Keith is hysterical and John made my jaw drop with his playing. Miss them!!

RIP Mose Allison

Who in 1969/70 Tommy tour were incomparable!!!

Powerful rock n roll - don't get no better it don't.

Such control by Townsend is phenomenal.

Saw The Who 9 times over the years, and around 2012 (?) took my son to see them. He was raised on the likes of Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppers and after the concert he said "okay, they ARE the greatest rock band ever."

The who fkn rocked hard

IT STILL GIVES ME A STIFFY

I used to LOVE playing this track with Who's Who!!... as a bass player, getting to play John's bass lines every weekend in front of Who fans (and earning their approval) was not only challenging but an honour, and so much freakin' fun!!!

Rest in peace, Mose Allison.

Oh God... I miss those days...

Heaviest version ive heard live! Beats out leeds, hull, and coliseum. And all three of them were incredible! Love the who!

Fucking OUTSTANDING...!!!

unbeatable highlight of rock history

Keith is so fun to listen to

I've seen The Who live in 1970 at The Warhouse in New Orleans, later in Baton Rouge, San Antonio and in Kansas City a couple of years ago. In Baton Rouge, when Keith tossed a broken broken drum stick in the middle of a blistering fill, It landed right on my lap. I had it for years, but lost it who knows where.

The early Who live were like none other. More like a sonic explosion , and just incredible how Entwistle played lead bass guitar in a sense. I could say John was the best guitarist in the Who.

so underrated guitar solos from Pete. Always had to keep the tension and occulting "classic" guitar solos. But the few he done are priceless.Of course people will argue he is not playing "fast silver" but hey, it is all about notes ;)

Except it's a four piece

Just read Roger Daltrey's autobiography, highly recommend it, some interesting insights into the band. And I now like them even more so ...

Sadly the best live performance I know of, "Live at Leeds" is only available on Audio. Of the various versions of this song I have heard I think the Leeds version is the best. The whole band was together: Pete's solo was varied in style tone and pace, with incredible use of space at times, while John Entwhistle was rock solid, Rhythmic and Lyrical. I would say he was probably underrated as a musician by many, except for the rest of the Who, and other bass players, many of whom were influenced by him. They, Pete and John, complemented each others's playing in such a way that made it a brilliant, added too by Moon the Loon, demonstrating incredible controlled power, and Gutsy blues vocals from Roger. Listen to it.
