Moons drumming on the 14+ minute Live at Leeds, My Generation medley for me, is the standard by which all others are judged. 52 years later, still sounds as powerful as anything I've ever heard.

@@O_Towne_Bear Exactly...not only that, but it made me really appreciate Townshend as a guitarist, that you don't have to be a lead/shredder, to be a great guitarist....sometimes you just have to appreciate power chording, blended with an ingenius rythm section ala Entwistle and Moon. Will definitely stand the rest of time for generations to come!

Roger Daltrey was the only person in this video to provide the most accurate commentary on Keith's drumming. Those that said he was "out of control" must not feel the music they are playing drums with. Keith was the perfect drummer for Pete's songs, just as Roger was the perfect vocalist to express the emotions provoked by the music. Sadly, Moon developed a reputation, albeit, well deserved, as an out of control wild man. My view, so many years of life later, is Keith may still be alive had he realized he was the perfect drummer for the who, and he was respected and admired for bringing the drums to the front of the stage as a lead instrument. Possibly my greatest inspiration as a young, teenage drummer.

@NigelOrmsvik Год назад

I met Keith in the 100 club Oxford Street London in 1964. A friend and I were watching The Pretty Things, and he came up to me and asked for a light, said he was with a Group called The High Numbers, and what did I think of Viv Prince, drummer for the Prettys. Viv was an outstanding drummer and I reckon he influenced Keith a lot as Keith's style was very similar, also, Viv was a total nutcase, so the two had a lot in common. Keith and I chatted for a bit then left, and it wasn't until I saw The Who as they became that I realised who I'd met. Keith was outstanding, unique and totally original, and The Who were and are the greatest Rock band of all time.

Nigel there are very few bands where the influence of the drummer influences the direction and style of the band he plays in, this just does in happen in any genre, step up Keith Moon! I feel if Keith was in a super group the same result would apply I love many of the great bands in Rock but they do not come near to Moon's style as top of the range drummers, which they were in these bands! a total one off!

@NigelOrmsvik Год назад

@@pmoran7971 yes, the story is legend, I was fortunate enough to see The Who at The Isle of Wight in 1970, a fantastic performance with Keith on peak form, as Pete Townshend once noted, all the members played lead, and nobody could better Roger's vocals. Keith gave the band a unique backing which in my view enhanced Pete's genius work, and when he sadly departed the band, although replaced by some brilliant drummers, to me there was always something irreplaceable missing.

@robert.m4676 Год назад

That’s an absolute fact. I heard my first who songs somewhere around the age of 4 in 1970. Having been raised by a father who grew up loving Elvis and becoming a DJ playing American top 40 and having access to tons of albums he brought home all the time. I got to listen to all types of music. But my favorites were Elvis, The Who, The Doors, The Sweet, Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles right off the bat. Those were my main bands and a couple years later Lynyrd Skynyrd. Certain things or players would stand out. Early on hearing the drumming from The Who just floored me. Oh and Buddy Rich was another of my dad’s favorites and I in turn loved him as well. While Keith Moon was no Buddy Rich he had flair like Buddy and the speed at which he played and changed as he played it was just incredible. Individually I loved Jim Morrison’s singing and his unique screams. I loved everything from Jimmy Page, same with Jeff Beck but Keith Moon still stuck out on every song I heard. When I finally got Who’s Next around the age of 7, I was in Heaven. Between The Albums Who’s next, The Doors first and last with Jim, and Zeppelin 2 and also Jimi Hendrix I must have played those albums thousands upon thousands of times. Other bands came and went. But The Who until around 1975 give or take we’re just untouchable in my book.

@revelationsoundstudio Год назад

For Ringo to say The Who was his sons band is a dumb thing to say. It was not his band. He was the third drummer who played with the band. If you watch th3 1981 Toronto concert, Kenny Jones was brilliant. I much prefer halls drumming with rur Who over Zach. Kenny put in the Keith fills when necessary but he still but Kenny into the music. Listen to him play on The Quiet one or Tricky Day..just brilliant. Zach played more like a calmer Keith Moon. But his style is not unique like Kenny

Moon was Neil Peart’s early hero. He was up front at a Who show whdn he was a teen, he wanted to be close to watch a moon, and got a triangle-shaped sliver of Moon’s cymbal from a destroyed kit, retrieved it, drilled a hole afterwards and fashioned it into a necklace medallion. Many years before Rush, he was in a teenage band called The Majority; do an image search- you can see him wearing Moon’s cymbal necklace in several publicity stills.

I see this argument all the time, and it's so true that people for the most part just don't get it. Bonzo and Peart were great technical drummers, Moonie was a savant. Sucherman put it brilliantly in that Moonie never played the same piece the same way twice. It was an art to him that he put his own stamp on. He was perfect for The Who. He would have been a disaster for Zeppelin (Page tried to woo him) or the Stones. It's because Pete just went with it and let Moon do what he did best. Same with Entwistle. That's not to say Watts and Ringo weren't great drummers, they were for the Stones and the Beatles, but Moonie would have not gelled with that. Pete said back in the 90s that they had to bring in more pieces to fill the spaces that Moon (and now Entwistle) filled. I just saw Pete and Roger the other night backed by a full orchestra, and it was incredible, but that gives even more appreciation for Moon and Entwistle. They have Zack Starkey playing and he's great but still doesn't fill in the spaces like Moonie did. No one ever will. Long Live Rock

Yeah. So what's Ginger Bakers problem? I don't think I have heard him say anything even remotely close to the truth when he's asked about any of these drummers. He really is just this gigantic asshole type guy that thinks he is it, when it comes to playing. No humility, no introspection just venom when it comes to any other player. Does he ever have anything close to complementary to say about ANYONE? There's a reason why he ended up not having anyone around who wanted to play with him in his later days. Creem got back together because Jack Bruce was sick and had no energy left in him to argue with Baker, and Baker was flat broke through years of total mismanagement of his own finances! I heard his wife say something telling, she said he always wanted a son and when he finally got a son, he treated him horribly! That's telling! He really was just a sour unlikable old git in his last days. His son even put together a big event that Baker played in and when he got paid, he blew all the proceeds on bad investments in horses. He was a shitty business man and had alot of financial problems because he did not think anyone knew better than him. It's a shame.

@magiscichoam Год назад

By the time of the recording of “Who Are You”, Moon was a meager shadow of his former self. I saw “The Who” live in 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1973. Moon was at the height of his drumming powers. For me he’s one of the greatest, most creative and innovative rock drummers ever. He literally created percussive tone paintings that perfectly complimented the music of “The Who”. His drumming on “Tommy”, “Live At Leeds” and “Who’s Next” is of the very highest order. The live performances of Keith Moon and Ginger Baker are the reasons that I started playing the drums in the late 1960s. Check out the live performance of “The Who” at The Tanglewood Music Festival on 7/7/1970. It was the last time The Who performed “Tommy” in its entirety in the US. I was there.! That performance is usually available on RU-vid. Moon’s drumming is absolutely on fire. It’s brilliant, creative, dazzling, elegant and powerful.

@blujay9191 Год назад

The way I like to think of this brilliant lunatic was that he blurred the distinction between playing time and playing fills and did so in a way that enhanced the musical piece. Unique and groundbreaking stuff. He still remains my favorite drummer.

@JamesMoore-un3cu Год назад

A bigger personality in rock, there was none. A more strategically dynamic drummer? None other than Keith Moon. And the fact that his personality off the stage was larger than life was just the icing on the cake...

@paintingholidayitaly Год назад

Ok let's get it right. Keith was the first heavy drummer. He had swing. Because his favourite drummers like Kruppa were swing jazz. He was a showman. Like the swing drummers who had led the orchestras...Moon wanted to lead a rock band. He did it. Luckily he had Entwistle in his rhythm section. Without Moon...it would have been a different rock scene in the 60's and 70's.

@johnsummerhill8323 Год назад

I don't think he was the best drummer that I have seen but he was perfect for The Who. He helped mold that wild image of the band and his playing style was very good within the context of Who music. He did do a good job on Beck's Bolero as well. Is he in Ginger Baker, Carl Palmer or Neil Peart's range of drummers? No, but Who cares? He was great and died far too young.

@rossdunning7018 Год назад

I saw the Who at Hammersmith Odeon. After 5 songs Moon and Townshend got into an argument with Pete accusing Moon of being disrespectful to the audience. It got really heated, the journalists were sharpening their pens, could this be the demise of The Who? Eventually Pete had enough and launched himself over Keith's drum kit to grab him by the throat but magically Keith flew 20ft into the air and exited stage right in a kind of Tinkerbell pose. It was a complete set-up to fool the journos. Moon had been wearing this wire and harness all through the gig just for that magic moment! A genuine nutter.

Keith moon had a unique style of drumming, it was wild but well structured and worked wonderfully with the who's style. Ringo and Charlie watts drumming as mediocre and simple as they were, worked well within their bands. Ginger Baker was such a double, listening to Ginger, you would think he thinks he invented the drum.kit.

@@philipchurchill6508 I mean from the point of view it would've been ridiculous to try replacing Moon with somebody trying to be him.

@jameswood4344 Год назад

Yes, Roger is the only one in this video who really gets Keith. Pete is full of weird anger -- it's just not true that all Keith's fills were the same. What Roger gets about that bit of drumming from "Behind Blue Eyes" is that Keith is really listening to the vocal line, and is really *phrasing* his drumming accordingly. And what Roger really likes -- he exclaims at it -- is the way that Keith's phrasing goes over the end of the musical phrase into the next bar, when most drummers would never do this; it's so unexpected, so strange. I would also add that although the video cuts off, if you listen to that bit of drumming elsewhere on RU-vid (just look up "Behind Blue Eyes isolated drums"), you will hear Keith doing two brilliantly musical six-stroke rolls on his wonderfully tight snare. So much for Pete, implying that he had no technique. What bollocks. He had the technique he needed to be himself -- the best Keith Moon-style drummer in the world.
