Drummer reacts to "Who Are You" by The Who 

Reminds me of the famous ads for a HiFi system : "just like having Keith Moon in your room - only safer" 😅

The Who were the greatest live band of the classic rock era.

KEITH MOON Greatest Drummer in Rock & Roll History ! ! ! Townshend and Entwhistle are BRILLIANT ! ! ! God Bless the WHO ! ! ! .....Newk from Kentucky

Keith was the best kind of nuts. He's having so much fun here.

First saw The Who in the Social club, Goldhawk road Shepherds Bush, London in 1964. Been my favorite band ever since. Really where it's at 🙂👍🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸

Throwing punches around and preaching from my chair - I always smile at that metaphor 🙂

Greatest Rock Band Ever

I bought “Meaty Beaty big and Bouncy” (possibly the best compilation album ever) in 1973 when I was 13. I first saw The Who at Wembley in 1975. Thus beginning a life long relationship and love affair with The Who. Your enthusiasm for them makes me happy. Thumbs up to Who Wednesdays 👍 No band has ever had four lead musicians like The Who!

Please do Quadrophenia! One of the best albums ever!

chemistry is so great and so visual in this video. not my fav band but i appreciate how great they were

To see The Who at the very top of their game watch "Young Man Blues" Live At The Isle of Wight.

Keith Moon was one of my drumming inspirations growing up. He was so high energy, unpredictable, and yet tasteful all in one. Fun reaction and solid review. Who are we?

Keith was definitely struggling on that album, but still the best possible drummer for the album. Keith also is well known as rock and roll's biggest and craziest party animal, which I guess is what ended up taking such a toll on him. Probably slightly autistic, and definitely big ADHD, he had a completely unique kind of brilliance, both on the drums, and in his sense of humour.

I'll second what brother Lee said: Special thanks to the Patron who sent in the video. Great to see that rare studio footage.

In high school in the late 60's , a girl I knew made me take her to the Dallas Market Hall to see Herman' s Hermits. The band that opened for them was... The Who. They played My Generation, Substitute, Happy Jack, and more. Then they started destroying their instruments on stage. This was conservative Dallas fer F's sake! I barely remember Herman's Hermits, but my musical life was forever changed after that performance by The Who.

Keith Moon, the only man who could play lead and rhythm drums at the same time!

I saw the Who with Keith 3 times, and with my kids 4 times. Way back in the 70s, I lost my date at the show, and went home alone. Those were wild days even for a nerd like me. Always great.

I'm always fascinated by how bands get together, The Who started as The Detours in 1962 by Roger Daltry, John Entwistle and Pete Townsend they all went to the same school and one day Roger saw John carrying a bass guitar, started a conversation and they decided to form a band John knew Pete and suggested he join as lead guitar, Roger was not a vocalist at this time and played rhythm. Roger switched to vocals, Pete became the sole guitarist, with Keith joining the band in 1964 their first hit was Can't Explain in 1965. It is an amazing coincidence that such world class musicians lived so close to each other and fate had them meet and form a band, like Lennon and McCartney being school friends and both having multi instrumentalist skills and crazy song writing abilities, and Keith Richards and Mick Jagger were school friends but never knew about each others music taste until they left school and met at a train station Keith noticed Mick was carrying records by Chuck Berry and Muddy Waters, started a conversation and they kept in touch and eventually formed a band. Things could have been so much different if all these chance encounters never happened.

Wow!! The video was incredible!!! Many thanks to the person who sent it to you. I love watching iconic bands behind the scenes, in the studio. Keith was such a beast. No wonder the Muppets made a character out of him called Animal. Great, great video!! This made my day!

The Live at Leeds album is EPIC. Looking forward to your reactions. My Generation is incredible. Young Man Blues though mostly improvised is amazing. Amazing Journey/Sparks is one of Moons more amazing performances. Magic Bus has Daltry playing a mean harmonica. Raw and Powerful!!!

If Leonardo Da Vinci had seen The Who, his most famous male statue would have been called "The Roger"

Good luck Lee with the turntable. Be advised that you do need a Pre-Amp to plug into, either on a receiver, or a separate Pre-Amp piece. I used to work in an AV store, so I can't help myself with the useless advice. The saddest thing about The WHO album "Who Are You" is the cover photo, with Keith sitting on a chair that says "Not To Be Taken Away". And he was gone soon after, so ironic. And it is a great album. Love this video, and seeing the band in the studio.

This is one of my personal favorites as well. Their quality as musical creators was/were amazing. Their energy, too! Mr. Moon was the inspiration for Animal who was the drummer on The Muppets. Perfect! Thank you for sharing this one. Keep enjoying!

The BLOODY WHO!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Heard this song a thousand times, never seen this video, awesome, how tight are the Who, great call L33

My all time favourite music promo clip. FYI, the original studio version of "Who Are You" is considerably longer with an extra verse. Great reaction man. It's so wonderful to see someone such as yourself getting into this incredible band. Make sure you don't skip their '60's catalogue. They literally reshaped the genre and influenced every form of hard rock that came after them. Their 1965 debut album My Generation is another to check out. And a couple more live clips to consider, "My Generation" from Monterey 1967, "A Quick One While He's Away" from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus 1968, and "See Me, Feel Me" from Woodstock 1969. I would do Tommy before Quadrophenia only because it was released before it.

Keith Moon is one of my fav's as well!!!! 😄

Saw The Who as the opening act for The Doors in Queens, NY in 1968. Great concert followed by a riot!

I saw them live twice in the early 70s. A Who concert was a major event. It would sell out very fast. My ears would be ringing for a couple of days after a Who concert. They were something else. One of the handful of truly legendary bands who ruled rock n roll from the mid-60s to the late 70s.

❤ great reaction and excellent video

This video by the Who is best to show that rascal Moon cutting up. I love watching him pound the drums. I heard years ago the drummer character Animal from the Muppet Show was based on Kieth Moon. And watching John belt out the most savage bass runs while looking so nonchalant!❤

Happy

The Who are giants of British music. You cannot go wrong,and live they smash it every time.

In the album version of this song, the piano was played by Rod Argent of the Zombies & Argent.

Love these guys. This was the intro music to the original CSI tv show.

The real me is a must listen

Luv who Wednesday

That was awesome! Best clip you could have done. Can’t wait to hear what you think of Live at Leeds. If you intend to do both, I would start with Tommy. Then when you hit Quad, you’ll appreciate how far they improved.

Many years ago, I was at a garage sale and found a bunch of vinyl albums being sold at insanely cheap prices. I came out of that sale with a bunch of albums, some of them rare, and one of them was an original US pressing of Live At Leeds with all the inserts included (Woodstock contract, rejection letter from EMI, etc.). That "rich man's copy" cost me all of $2.50 Canadian. I was unbelievably lucky to find that, because I'd seen original copies in used record stores that were priced out of this world. So you have my sympathies for the "poor man's copy" that you had to settle for.

L33, please listen to more classic Who. A lot of great early singles, (do a few together?), "I Can See For Miles" is amazing. Also, their Live performances "My Generation" at Monterey Pop, and "A Quick One" at "Rolling Stones R&R Circus". Important to hear "Tommy", among the most important albums EVER! Ground breaking concept-album/prog-psychedelic. Try "Overture" into "It's A Boy", or "Acid Queen" into "Underture". And please hear "Tommy" before watching the Movie ( great film, uneven music). Try "Who's Next", every song is GREAT. And then the concept album "Quadrophinia", try first and last song "The Real Me" and "Love Reign O'er Me".

Picture of "who are you" : Moonie on the chair with this inscription "NOT TO BE TAKEN AWAY" He was the soul of this band even "Ego Pity" admitted this, so... 🔴 Daltrey has made a tribute song for Keith " On a ragging moon" and Entwistle has recorded ithis song too in his solo album... Cool from them.... Not like angry Pity who 💩 on the Moonie's memory...

Sheer talent!

This is my go to video if I'm feeling down. Thank you for reviewing it at last! No one like The Who.

Love how Moon has his headphones duct taped to his head🤣

One of The Who’s last hurrahs! Great song! Check out Long live Rock! Rock is Dead from Grey Whistle Test, too!

slept in. felt great. saw i missed this, now feel bad again:(

One of my favorite tunes.

Nice one👍😁 I saw The Who in Amsterdam in 1972 for the first time. Something you'll never forget 😅 The sound was perfect, verry verry loud but brilliant. Golden Earring was the support act, and they were crazy good too. Best concert i've ever seen. Thanks for this one. Cheers from the Netherlands. 👍😁👊

12:12pm Great video!!! Those guys were comical. Seeing Keith in his element was epic.

By the way,the Live at Leeds album is only 40minutes so get the Deluxe edition where the whole concert is on it. One of THE best ever live albums and it’s really heavy too,pristine quality.

That was excellent! Superb! Thanks, great reaction! 😊

If you want to see an awesome complimentary video to this you should check out Stephen Perkins, the drummer for Jane’s Addiction, performing a play along to this song at a drum clinic he put on at Guitar Center. It’s fantastic.

The Who: baby don't you do it (Who's Next) extended version

So I checked, and it seems as if you haven't gotten to "The Real Me". This is a MUST. I could just loop the isolated drum and bass track and die happy. Keith playing lead drums and John playing lead bass is as good as it gets.

Lee: They REALLY exemplify what is meant by the chemistry of a band. A one of a kind, lightning in a bottle combination of people that can't be copied. Great reaction to the awesome vid.

That was a great clip!! Thanks for your reaction. ❤😊

John Entwhistle was a beast on the bass, but was so statue like while he played.

Only bass players who started out in the early 60's could get away with John's thumb style. It's such a throwback. 😄 But yeah, this studio footage was put together for 'The Kids Are Alright' film. They just happened to be working on this song at the same time as the film was being made, plus they knew it would be their next single. The live footage of them playing "Won't Get Fooled Again" was shot at the same time (plus a bunch of interviews.) Anyways, Go See 'The Kids Are Alright'! 😁 BTW, I'd recommend 'Tommy' before 'Quadrophenia'. They're both double concept/storyline albums, but it's always useful to hear the band's progression from the earlier form to a more mature version with better recording capabilities.

Keith had to duct tape his headphones on because he moved so much they would fly off while he's playing. He even did it on stage!

"What's up John?" Great comment!!!

This is a very enjoyable recording for the Movie "The Kids Are All RIght", a studio outtake during "Who Are You". Watch the equally great "The Kids' footage Live at Shepperton Studios 1978. Amazing "Won't Get Fooled Again" and a very good "Baba O'Riley". In the studio, the band is in unusually good spirits for the cameras. Keep in mind that Moon was near death, "Who Are You" was his last great studio drumming. By 1978, Moon's physical decline was rather shocking, comparing footage from his prime, like "Monterey Pop", "Rolling Stones R&R Circus", or " Isle of Wight". But I'm glad Moon had this final Hurrah!

Pete was a genius.

@L33Reacts if you ever do a film reaction, please consider doing "The Kids are Alright". IMHO, it is the greatest rock documentary ever produced. It's where this footage came from.

Such a great clip . Geez I miss these bands from that time era . Thx L33 for appreciating this generation of music and keeping it alive for us oldies but still young at heart 👍

I agree with those saying you need to listen to Quadrophenia. If you want to pull out a song or two I would suggest “The Real Me” or “5:15”. Hearing the overture to Tommy is what started my obsession with The Who about 50 years ago. Just be aware it’s a bit more experimental than Quadrophenia. Both are amazing, ground-breaking albums.

This was an amazing song and album and the unofficial send off before Keith’s unfortunate demise!

I had the 8 track of Live at Leeds

I love how Keith always needs duck tape to keep his headphones on his head, lol

If you haven't already, you should definitely check out The Who documentary movie, The Kids Are Alright (1979). Possibly the best "rockumentary" film of the '70s.

Perhaps it was something of a “period piece” because you don’t really hear it much anymore, but l always really enjoyed Sister Disco from this album. Very solid album from them. (Strangely hated by critics at the time. What do they know…)

Keith on his own planet as usual

I’m so glad you did this version! The energy and intensity. ❤

Played his drums like a lead guitar!!

I can also recommend their song : I'm a Boy. I love the drums of Keith Moon. 🥁🎶👍❤️

two rare things in keith,s drum kit only one bass drum,and a hi hat,which is always closed

Keith Moon. What a...personality. If you haven't already, check out The Who live version of "My Generation" from the Smothers Brothers Show. Keith was E X P L O S I V E ! ! ! 💣

The term "Lightning in a bottle", Keith Moon a whole storm in a studio....

As others suggested, watch The Kids are Alright for more great footage of the band. The bonus footage they released on DVD with John skeet shooting gold and platinum records is as good as any Monty Python, such a well thought out parody of what rock stars were supposed to be doing in their free time.

This is an amazing video... I love Keith Moon just being a chaotic goofball, but unfortunately, this video was shot mere weeks before his death... Moon died 1 month after Who Are You was released... very sad

The WHO... Who Are You... This is the theme song for...CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, also referred to as CSI and CSI: Las Vegas, is a forensics crime drama television series that ran on CBS from October 6, 2000, to September 27, 2015, There are 3 spin offs all using Songs from the WHO. (CSI Miami used...Won't get fooled Again)... (CSI New York used ...Baba O'Riley)... (CSI Cyber used... I Can See For Miles). .....They recently brought back the original CSI hence adding Las Vegas to the title. The Who did the halftime show for Superbowl 44 in Feb of 2010.

Love the song/video, and of course your reaction! Got to see The Who live a few times - one was on their 25th Anniversary Tour (yikes - way more than 25 years ago!) on their Boston stop - (the "Double Rainbow" show - if you know, you know), and another time when they performed Quadrophenia from start to finish! Simply spectacular. Glad to see you're enjoying them as much as I do.

"a quick one (while he is away)" is kind of the first rock opera, although a mini one, by pete and the who, check it out L33. love ain't for keeping, getting in tune and the song is over are three greatly underrated songs from who's next.

I remember when they first hit our shores being able to bye their uk lPs and they had commercials from uk between songs. Still have recordings. Thanks for reaction

Please do Quadrophenia! It's the best Who album in my opinion.

Terrific Take & Reaction Lee... Really enjoying your Channel... Always look forward to "THE WHO Wednesdays" 😊

The WHO❗️❗️❗️Mic drop.🎤🎤🎤👍😎

If you get a turntable, you should also get a good amp & speakers. Headphones don't cut it. If you're listening to The Who, or Led Zeppelin, your neighbors should be as well!

The Best Rock Band * E * V * E * R Sadly, this was KEITH MOON'S Last Album ! RIP Keith Moon ...Newk from Kentucky

Did you know that Keith Moon actually used to put explosives in his drum kit until he put too much in on a tv show, and practically blew the set apart😄 He was also famous for driving his car into his swimming pool . God love him ❤️

You should check out The Who tribute to New York City. They were much older but just as good. (Ringo's son was on the drums)

You get to listen to Roger drop the f bomb. It was played on the radio that way!

I love this kid he's my new favorite reactor on RU-vid. Sorry to call your kid but I'm 58 you're all kids to me..😆

This isn't the album version, but from the 'The Kids Are Alright" documentary, Hugh recommend flick.

Just weeks after they filmed this, Keith died...

Gotta do early Who..imo that’s their best era

I heard once that Keith Moon was the inspiration for the Muppet Animal.

@L33Reacts I always enjoy The Who. Something you may want to check out. A song originally released by Roger Daltrey called Under A Raging Moon but look for the live version by Entwistle. It's a celebration of Keith Moon.

Keith Moon..Those expressions on his face when playing. I am sure by now that you know about him. If not there is google .

For some awesome drumming, check out Happy Jack. Keith goes nuts on that one

Gotta hear The Real Me and some footage from Woodstock!
