One of the greatest live performances there ever will be. These men are retirement age and have more fire and charisma than any band today. The playing is flawless, Pete is a revelation as he doesn't need parlor tricks to show his wizardry on a 6 string, and Roger is still as powerful as a singer could hope to be at his age. There will never be another Era like that of the WHO!
Back then, music was raw and powerful, Bands knew no limits with antics and lyrics, today, they want PC role models that have safe lyrics to promote. We will never have music the way it was supposed to be, same can be said with Movies & games. It’s all PC safe bullshit that’s so fucking bland all I do is play old games listening to old music.
Great live performance, you cant beat an A or E chord that breaks your burden rather than a gazillion notes that mean nothing, you can't deny a song this great!
Wow, I remember watching this live with that epic Pink Floyd reunion. I was a senior in high school, so this was during my peak WHO fandom, I was obsessed with both The Who and Pink Floyd :D
I was 18 when I saw the Who do (Quadrophenia) It was the concert right after the 13 people were killed in Cincinnati !!!!! It was the first time I was on the floor-, it was single file going into the Spectrum no one was getting killed on this night, at the time the Who was the loudest band (according to the Guinness book of records)on the planet! I was about ten feet from the stage, they had 40 speakers hanging and pointed down at the crowd, plus 40 more speakers lining the stage all around them! I was tone deaf for 3 days after the show! Roger ran in place and all over the stage for 3 hours strait! I was with 3 girls and 2 other guys that night! We did some CRANK(I'm sure Roger & Pete did too) before entering the Spectrum, good thing we did! People started pushing us forward so we locked hands and kept the crowd at bay from not pushing us into the stage! It was soooo hot the chics had to bend down close to the floor, so as to not pass out! I will never forget it, what a show it was! Later on I saw them do there 50th anniversary at the Wells Fargo center, they still got after all these years, hope I get to see them again before they stop touring it is now 2021!! LOVE THE WHO with all my heart, there is not a better band still in 2021!!!
Se ve inmediatamente la diferencia de cómo interpretan las rolas éstos cabrones a diferencia de algunos dizque músicos de la actualidad....¿¡ Wero are you...!?
probably one of their last great truly visceral (televised) performances, before old age really took hold. I saw them on the Quadrophenia tour 2013 having seen them many times previously and sadly it was the last time i'd go.
Aunque Pete Townshend y los demás miembros de la banda parecían ancianos en realidad no estaban tan viejos en para este momento tenían recién 59 años comparados con los 80 que tienen al día de hoy en el año 2024 y aún siguen tocando en vivo con la misma fuerza de siempre.
Bruce Fairman not sure why you think I’m trying to imply that. I’m simply saying that they would’ve done well to do more rehearsals with the drummer for this one.
Its said that their original drummer (Keith Moon) would get bored and start changing bits and pieces while in rehearsal causing the rest of the band to pick up the tempo X)
Townsends always baffled me with his silly windmill gimmick I feel as he wasn't such a great guitarist he kind of invented this to camouflage it a bit, looks effective but doesn't actually touch the guitar whilst doing it haha, good watch tho
Live 8 was the best RIP Keith in The Godfathers Of Mod, especially one this many decades stage was fucking on old knees?- Pete Townsend is Best drummer of all time
Snowflakes at the Parents Television Council worried bout a F bomb, I'm sorry but children will eventually learn to swear it's inevitable so deal with it and get rekt!
Steve and Damon only had an hour’s rehearsal with the Who the day before this performance. They ran through the songs they had to play twice and that was it. All things considered, I think they did okay.
@@shaunmcgee4204 They did brilliantly. Also Pete told Damon after the gig that Damon played the songs better than any bassist - apart from Entwistle of course.
Drummer totally missed coming in after the breakdown. He should have come in big, and totally missed it. Seems like a pick up drummer that didnt know the material all that well.
That is true. In his defense, they only did a single partial runthrough beforehand. He also said that the bass player, who was also filling in, counted him in on Won't Get Fooled, or he would have missed the drum solo.
@@JeroenK You clearly know nothing about Steve White. Moreover, he did brilliantly for someone with only an hour’s rehearsal. Stop trolling and do your research, you stupid old cretin.
@@TheMusicalElitist I agree with his performance being brilliant, taking into account the rehearsal time. I also enjoy it very much. No need to get nasty.
