Well we had two separate requests happen for the same song, at THREE festivals. So we are going to do Lee L's patreon pick for the month first which was these two concert videos. And next week we will be doing "My Generation" from Live at Leeds. Three festivals, one song. I am so glad I FINALLY got to see them destroy their gear. That was a sight to behold. Both of these shows are legendary and these guys nailed both performances perfectly.

I had just gotten my Drivers License at age 16, think it was 1967 still, and some girl at school dragged me to the Dallas Market Hall to see the Brit pop band, Herman's Hermits. Little did I know that the opening act was The Who, who did Happy Jack, Summertime Blues, some others... and then did My Generation and bashed their instruments to bits on stage! This was Texas, baby. No one had seen anything like it. I certainly hadn't, and my musical life was altered ever after.

They flipped a coin backstage with Hendrix at Monterey to see who would follow who (They were known for "pulling a Who" - or destroying their instruments on the final song). Hendrix had to follow them, so this is why he set his guitar on fire.

The instrument smashing came from Pete's time at Ealing Art College, where he learned about Autodestructive Art. Originally he saw the Who as making a statement, speaking for the voiceless youth of the time, particularly the Mods. The Who became the No.1 Mod band. The stuttering in My Generation was Roger's idea, imitating the results of taking speed - the Mod drug of choice. They lost a huge amount of money by smashing guitars, and Pete would pick up all the bits and glue them back together! They would also 'buy' guitars on credit and not pay. Eventually he stopped breaking them, but because they were cracking America they started again to make a name. Roger didn't take drugs and had many fistfights with the others over it. John took his fair share, Pete was heavily addicted for a long time, but Keith took absolutely anything he could lay his hands on, as well as being an alcoholic. Famously he passed out over his drums during a concert after taking horse tranquillisers. Drugs took John and Keith, but Pete is completely straight now. The Who are my local band - 3 of them went to the same high school as me, though they were older - and I saw them a few years ago at Hyde Park, just the two of them now, but still great!

Really the best band ever. The Beatles were great, but I'd challenge you to find a duff Who track. They still perform tracks from their first album. Pete is a phenomenal songwriter and musician. Though you could say there's a who 'sound', every song is different. If you really want to jump down a rabbit hole, try going through Quadrophenia - every track brilliant, complex and emotional. Live, there was nobody to touch them in their prime. If you want to see My Generation live, watch the one from the Isle of Wight. There's one from Live at Leeds but it's dubbed onto Isle of Wight footage. Also, read Pete's autobiography, Who Am I? Fascinating and painfully honest. Another fun fact, my older brother - who was a film sound recordist with BBC Television - was in the school orchestra with John Entwistle, who played the French Horn. He's got a photo of them, all in school uniform, John with regulation short hair and sticking-out ears!

@NigelOrmsvik 4 месяца назад

Pete didn't do drugs for long but went on to Brandy instead which led to his greatest works and true magic. The guy had the amazing way of getting into your mind and the way you thought. When I hear Bell Boy from Quadrophenia, I'm back in Brighton (England) with friends, sleeping on the beach having ridden down from London, laughing and fooling around without a care. Times were good, girls were beautiful and we owned the World. Thanks Pete, you were the Time Machine of that wonderful era.

Other than the guitarist voted the best five years running by the readers of Guitar World magazine 1976-1980, that would be Steve Howe of YES. In 1981 GW opened their HOF, with Howe as the first inductee, which disqualified him from the “best poll”.

I appreciate your love for The Who. It's interesting to see the evolution of this song thru the years as they evolved themselves. They do a lot of improv during many of their songs with Pete leading the way. The Live at Leeds version, to me is their finest, catching them on a night when they were at their best, especially Pete. Live at Hull was recorded close to the same time, and though a similar rendition, has a lot of differences, showing to me that they probably couldn't play it the same twice if they tried.

@jonathanroberts8981 4 месяца назад

@jraben1065 4 месяца назад

Notice at Monterey that the stage crew were trying to rescue the stage's microphones and stands, belonging to the venue. Pete and Daltrey responded aggressively, and several crew almost got hit by Pete's guitar! The Who's gear destruction came out of the band's natural aggression. From the start, Moon's aggressive playing broke his skins and bass drum pedals. Sometimes the intentional destruction of gear would be instigated by an audience that seemed too reserved. The destruction became a part of their act, and was also a way for the Who to avoid playing oncores.

Just to pile on L33, the best, funniest version of "My Generation" is from their appearance on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the late 60's. It starts with Tommy Smothers doing a sort of interview with each band member, and ends with Keith Moon blowing up his drum kit, and deafening Pete Townshend in the bargain. It is at the beginning of The WHO's movie "The Kids Are Alright", so I'm not sure if that is good or bad about it getting blocked. Wrecking their gear was a happening at all their early shows.

The light show stuff behind them was usually created by putting some oil between two pieces of plastic and shining colored light through it, and moving the sheets around. Low tech but the result was quite interesting. Check out some isolated bass tracks from the Who. You seldom really get a good feeling for what Entwhistle was really doing live, made worse by the fact that no camera man seemed to realize he was there. It's kind of scary sometimes. He had incredible technique, and of course being in a three piece left plenty of space for an active bass.

@yes_head 4 месяца назад

"My Generation" and The Kinks' "You Really Got Me" were the two seminal British proto-punk anthems. The destructo-theatrics were a gimmick that the Who took a long time to grow out of. By the time of Woodstock they'd mostly left it behind (it was costing them a fortune!) The other version of "My Generation" you need to check out is the 1967 Smothers Brothers show appearance from 'The Kids Are Alright'. BTW, Scorsese was 'The Last Waltz', not 'Woodstock'.

"My Generation" was really the 1st "Punk Song", so far ahead of its time. Hard to understand in 2024 how radical "Generation" was back in 1964-65. Compare the brutal "I Hope I Die Before I Get Old", to the tame "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by The Beatles! Shocking on 1965 BBC Radio. Roger's stuttered lines conveyed a young generation, "damaged" and "unformed", yet projecting strength and aggression through their stutter. And the line "Why Don't You All Ffff-ade Away", implied to English kids "Why Don't You All F@&k Off!" The whole "My Generation" Album is little-known in USA, but awesome, (including CD extras).

At the Fillmore East in April 1968 they played a 32 minute version. At Monterey they may have looked like hippies but they weren`t really into the love and peace vibe plus they weren`t using their own equipment but using the inferior gear all the groups were using. They thought what the hippes needed was a bit of violence in their lives..ha ha. As for Woodstock they waited 14 hours to go on and wasn`t to pleased to find themselves on unwanted trips after their drinks had been spiked. They were shattered and coming down when they trudged onto the stage around 4am and they hated it.

When you (hopefully soon) listen to Quadrophenia (in order from Side 1 to Side 4) you will get a good perspective on the band’s teenage years, growing up a generation lost after WW II in an impoverished England that was losing its empire. The youth of the time, Mods vs. Rockers for the most part and pre-Beatles, were searching for meaning. A lot of anger and confusion. A “Lost Generation” not unlike the generation of the 1920’s after WW I and they lit the way for the punk rockers of the late 1970’s.

They didn’t realize he was doing the solo, seemed to think it was Pete. So annoying! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here's another 10. (and some of Pete's best live lead playing) Kenny Jones on drums, not Mooney, but still great. And Pete's genius lyrics. The Who Naked Eye ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KqQCZNWaMBY.html

Hello L33, I believe you now listened to Live at Leeds On Vinyl ? … The perfect Who Live …Period! Along with Tanglewood!!

@L33Reacts 4 месяца назад

no not yet. we will be doing that one next week! I couldn't fit all three in one video without risk of it getting blocked so I did these two first. That was how the requests were separated anyway so it works out!

There werent be punk without the who. Need to check out smothers brothers performance. That's the performance that killed Pete's hearing thanks to Keith. No John did antics with Keith offstage.

Ned sayin hey there Lee ! There's also the Tanglewood show which is amazing and sounds incredible ! Part of the reason they were totally raging at the end of the Monterey show was while other bands had strong, loud amps The Who got stuck with Vox Super Beetle Amps that were no competition for Hendrix's topped out Marshalls. The sound at Woodstock is also atrocious.
