The two lines Moon says right before that are taken from an album by his friends, the Bonzo Dog Band, the funniest band in the history of rock and roll.
This to me demonstrates why the Who were such a special band. Not that a Quick One is as serious as Tommy or Quadrophenia, but they could write theses records with themes and storylines as complicated and with as much depth of human understanding as anyone, but then make total fun of the whole thing on stage, and finish it all up by smashing their instruments and partying as hard as any band ever. No band has ever been so intellectually and artistically deep yet so destructive.
John and Keith sharing a mic at the end and a sweet peck on the cheek! So priceless! Where is the rest of the song? Incredible to see the happy banter....I missed out, but feel so blessed to see all of the film, so much awesome film!
Ginger Ann missed seeing Keith explode on the intro of Quick One. Ginger, in case you haven’t seen The Who’s performance of this tune on The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, then for sure check it out. I think it’s one of their best performances.
In 1974 at the age of 8 is when I made The Who my official favorite band! I loved Elvis then the Sweet but then I discovered THE WHO and all bets were off!! I somehow obtained a copy of the album Who’s Next and simply played it over and over again! What a wonderful childhood with true musicians!! My Fad and I always agreed on Elvis, lynyrd skynyrd, and Jonny Cash! But my Rock and Roll was about to get much harder!
If only band's today could have banter like that Keith Moon was so entertaining in the background they were such a great group ! 👏👏👏👏👏👏Cherry Bomb 💥😵💥👂
Just fyi Page spent alot of time looking at Bonham because they kinda played off each other in kinda the way bassists and drummers usually do, it's one of the things that gave LZ a unique sound. He was always more comfortable standing near Bonzos kit. Moon and Daltrey did the same thing in alot of their songs. Keith loved the spotlight and his personality kept him up front kinda with the other guy, whereas most like being in back behind the drums. You can see this in live clips in both bands, it's like he drums to the lyrics and it makes his style and Who's sound very unique.
Sophisticated dry wit recall the vaudevillian days great comedic timing an original way of funny narrative interpretation. Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Monty Python Faulty Towers and a Fish Call Wanda. Cheers Sir Peter, Sir Rodger and bandmates.
General commenting on the kiss Keith gives John, but nobody noticed that in the end the two laugh together because Keith tried to kiss, but John put his hand in front, lol hahaha
I’m going to surprise it how quiet the crowd remains during the stage banter. Because… I’ve certainly heard occasions when fans in the audience start to get a little restless when it’s too much chatter. Must’ve been a Danish audience.
Moon's opening patter either comes from, or was immediately after used on, a recording by the Bonzo Dog Band from 1969, "The Bride Stripped Bare by Bachelors." At 1:51 in the song, it's the same line with the same inflection. Keith did some side project recording with the Bonzos.
The who are and were and will always be fukin amazing and one of the best bands in the world,is this by the way from the ‘live at leeds album’i think it is😎not the original release but a later one
This was also recorded at the Live at Leeds concert but didn't appear until the extended version of the concert was released some years after the original six track album. A second extended version of Live at Leeds appeared considerably later that included a full rendition of Tommy
@@andyl0261 I never said it was at Leeds, I said that A Quick One was a part of the Leeds show but didn't appear on the original album but only after the full concert was eventually released several years later. Smartarse.
The entire London Coliseum show is included as "bonus material" on The Who's "Live at Kilborn: 1977" DVD. Unfortunately film from the show is routinely yanked from youtube almost as quickly as it is posted.
He had to keep talking didn't he. Let Pete say his thing Keith. I think he had ADD. Too bad. They knew nothing about that back in the early seventies. He's such a nice looking young lad. It's a shame.
A show is over 2 hours long at that time, and the sound very loud. I think it's not a problem for people to have a little break listening to the Who's rantings.
maria maggisano What are you talking about there work is probably the best of all rock bands. Tommy, The Who Sell Out, Who's Next, Quadrophenia and My Generation are the best examples of their BEST WORK they also have The Who By The Numbers, Who Are You and A Quick One to complement their work, not to mention the best live album of all time Live At Leeds.
I'll never forget the night Pete was introducing the meaning of Eminence Front while I was having a conversation with Roger Daltrey at center stage. I requested a song. Roger said the set list was already in place for that night. I said "how about tomorrow night in Boston". Roger said he'd try. The next night in Boston they played the song I requested. And I got to meet Roger after the show that night. And I got to meet Pete too that night.
One of my favorite bands ever, their efforts at "humor" have never been anything less than fully cringe-worthy to me. Keith's especially. "Funny as a dead baby's open casket" to quote Sir Lawrence Olivier (while speaking of Moliere's comedies, strangely enough). Nonetheless, among the greatest rock and roll bands ever.
I can't agree-he was more than a great guitarist, he was one of the greatest songwriters in rock history, and damned lucky to have hooked up with the other three lads.
Stewart Nicol as BILLY CONNOLLY You obviously haven't listened to his demos, his solo albums and performances just on acoustic guitar (Secret Policeman's Ball, etc.).
People can't even enjoy I mean whenever I got o a concert of anybody I enjoy them talking because I feel like they care and they do for the crowd and they connect with us. Even with this type od banter
~ I saw Pink Floyd in 1994, and even though it was a _fantastic_ show, the logistics prevented any spontaneity or interaction with the audience. This is good on its own terms, given the type of band this was.
@@5jerry1 "the logistics prevented any spontaneity or interaction with the audience. " Of course, don't forget that Waters hates the audience and that The Wall, in his mind, was supposed to be between him and the audience.
