THE WHO - Won't Get Fooled Again (1971 UK TV Appearance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ ~ 

Ahh finally a camera operator who understands the awesome that is john entwistle

I love it. And there will never be a drummer like Keith Moon again.

I heard it the day before release at a concert in Birmingham, and it still makes me tingle today!

Unquestionably the best Rock 'n Roll band ever on stage. At the peak of their powers in 1971. Yep, I got to witness it that year in San Francisco. My ears were ringing for two days. It was worth it!

I loved the who growing up ! The whole band was great and inspired me to play guitar !!! I love that band they were right up there with everyone else of the time !!! And had great songs and great performances !!! They are all very excellent player's and daultrys singing was great !!! Moon , entwistle and Townsend are all just great player's !!!

It's so hard to mime to Keith Moon's drumming that even Keith himself has trouble doing it.

Pete townsend, keith moon, and john entwistle were awesome musicians!

Entwhistle's hands are all over that guitar, yet he always look like, _"whatever...."_ 😊😊😊 R.I.P., THUNDERFINGERS!!!!

One of the great songs of the 70s. The Who at their peak.

Released in 1971 - WHO is rocking to this in 2021 ?

NOTHING HOW THE YEARS 60s A GENERATION OF BIG ROCK BANDS..🎸♪

Finally saw it live 44 years later. Still good!

I like how in addition to the Hiwatts they had to drag Pete's huge synthesizer boxes to the studio as well.

God I LOVE Keith's over the top drum miming

the greatest band ever - period

This is from my favorite Who album: "Who's Next". I got into this album, Leon Russell and Humble Pie in the early 70s, a few years after I got out of the Army.

Great to see this od classic. Don't think there's ever been another pop-rock bassist as good as John Entwhistle was. Just look at those bass runs - magical. He left us way too soon. Keith Moon was the best too!! All round the best of British for sure.

I can't think of one thing that has actually changed. We are just deeper in it.

Thanks for posting this! It was filmed on July 7, 1971 for BBC's "Top of the Pops" at BBC Television Centre. They are miming to the single edit of the song.

I was carving a pole in Toronto in a park. A big sculpture. The Who played Exhibition Park a mile or two down from us. Our park was taken over by the pre-concert party, Mods and Rockers up to the armpits. We couldn't get tickets, but we heard the show just fine down the lake front. Next morning, one of our homeless friends collected $60 in beer empties from our park. Sixty Bucks! Thats a lot of beer empties. Stubbies, every one. This song is a good example of a 60's musician adapting to new technology, ie: the ARP synthesizer.

It's nice to see the band in their prime...unlike the Super Bowl half time show. It's always cool to see entertainers (actors, athletes, musicians, etc) in their "heyday"

Yes, Finally The Best of it! This is The Who!

I think of this song often...but especially every 4 years

What a strange place for a drummer to position a ride cymbal, but hey, it worked, and he’s a legend so

Very rare that we see the band set up with John to Keith's left side & Pete to the right....

quel genie comme bassiste Jhon Enthwistle !!!

My God John ! amazing !!!

Ah , I was hoping this would be a live version. Love the studio version of course ( not the edit ), but this is one tune I would love to see Pete play live. What a fantastic and unique guitarist… blending rhythm and lead seamlessly with the pushed off factor almost always at 10!

Totally Brilliant

hell of a song

o melhor baterista da história do rock and roll olha só a habilidade do grande mestre keith moon

John Entwistle is superb on bass and Pete is great on the guitar!!

Keith Moon was an absolute drum genious

Saw them in Belfast Northern Ireland...fantastic

THE WHO...NUFF' SAID

Simply The Best

That bass though.

It doesn't get any better than that.

@Veritas699 Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Oasis, Black Sabbath, Cream, Jeff Beck, The Sex Pistols, The Faces, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. British rock is amazing.

very very good h,n.....................................

Superlative as ever.

Great band and great song! But the audio is just an edited version of the recording. I wish I could hear how the band actually sounded on this day. Look at Moon go on those fills!!!

WOW ! Great channel ! subbed ,of course

omg! I've never seen John Entwistle show so much emotion! lol

Is moony making fun of the fact that they’re miming by playing with T-Rex arms like that? Seems like something he’d do.

The WHO Pefect ROCK Inovilable Keith Moon baterist 🤘🎸

this is great!!! unfortunately, they used the studio recording and mimed their parts with total accuracy(except for the solo that wasn't even shown).

Billy won't fool us again.

The Who "Won't Get Fooled Again" Who's Next Decca Records, 1971

so this is the heavily edited version, sounds great!!!!

MAGNIFICOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This was my all time favorite song since I was 15. I swear they are cutting parts out to make it shorter, I want to see/hear the full length version of this song with the full instrumental.

@ThePookie27 I hear you bro. I'm a fan of The Who. I was just pointing out a personal observation that was based on the Super Bowl halftime performance.

the greatest

(3:06) So that's where that comes from...

THE WHO - Won't Get Fooled Again (1971 UK TV Appearance) ~ HIGH QUALITY HQ

John Entwhistle = silent but deadly.

For me the best &%#*-rock song ever made. Despite all other great bands, that is.

@Veritas699 Totally agreed.These bands had energy and balls.

A 1998 Rickenbacker was the first guitar Pete smashed at the Railway Hotel, you say say? :D

The bassist seems so effortless...

This has to be near the end of Pete using SGs as his guitar on stage (he definitely didn't use the SG on Who's Next).

Moon is hysterical when he mimes 🤣

@Veritas699 It could be that this kind of music was never introduced to later Generations... im 16 and I listen to WHo! They listn to these Disney stars... the teens of today...

Nice to see Keith at the front for once.

Maravilhoso WHO!

Ladies and gentlemen, John Entwistle on lead bass.

Sound like a cross between a live snd studio audio

@janet19able just the best bass player ever !!!!!!!!!!

little did pete and rog realise this song would be their anthem in 2015....and this was 1971. never dates.

Pretty good

I see Keith’s gotten ever so slightly better at his miming! Although, that’s a bit like saying a five-year-old has gotten slightly better at physics soooooo…

keith moon rocks big time !

Short version. 😲

Any WHO fans in 2021 ?

@strangeones4 I love Supergrass and SFA!

Yes you will.

I wondering if the uploader is looking for as many views as possible with his description? lol

hahahaha awesome

john looks yeah im a badass

and to think, they never crashed Spotify or Ticketmaster

FUCKING DYNAMITE!

- On ne sera plus trompé = Won't get fooled again

Not bad, I suppose, apart from Daltrey's miming at 3:06! But I loved this from the first time I heard it, so much so that I eventually had an appraisal published in the Tamworth Herald, no less. (Another in my series... hope you're reading them all! Be warned - there's a controversial bit, regarding the full-length version, in this one):- I remember once, when walking past a jukebox, being almost literally hurled across the room by the opening blast from 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. This edited version issued as a single in 1971 represents a fine example of the pre-digital sound editor’s art - you just can’t hear the joins. The full version on the album ‘Who’s Next’, although breathtaking when played live, goes on and on and on, with a Pete Townshend synthesiser solo which in places sounds embarrassingly like a child playing with a toy. The uncompromising cynicism of the lyrics needs powerful delivery, something The Who were rather good at. Townshend makes his guitar bellow rather than talk; Keith Moon as usual sounds like he destroyed several kits during the session; and John Entwistle’s extraordinary BA-BA-BA-BA-BOOMS on the bass are a highlight of this fine musician’s contribution to a great band. Roger Daltrey’s vocals show a singer approaching the peak of his powers. It’s a performance of total conviction - spitting out the words, sounding mocking, contemptuous and triumphant in turn. The lyrics reach a fitting climax with the famous line, “Meet the new boss… same as the old boss.” The song offers no constructive answers, but as an anthem of rage it’s seldom been bettered. The Who provoked controversy throughout their long career, with hotel-wrecking, drugs and dubious subject matter for songs. The debate as to whether they should have called it a day after Moon’s death continues. But the enormity of their contribution to our musical heritage is undisputed, and they didn’t put out much better than the single version of ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’.

3:07 Epic Fail

Keith moon DIFFERENT CLASS

Well I guess we all were in the end .

Back when England ruled the world (musically!)

SHIT HOT !

wow a young Entwhistle looks like the guy who sold weed at my high school

3:12 uhauheuaheuaheuaheuaheuah

although i'm not fond of the single edit, it did allow them to go on TOTP again with this one. please welcome (in the opening shot) the latest member of the band: an ARP 2500!!! bet it didn't smash hotel rooms and run up huge bar tabs like the original 4 'orrible gits...

Is it really HIGH QUALITY HQ ??

edited down from the full version

Why does the camera close in on Entwistle whilst Townsend is playing the guitar solo ??!! Friggin' TV crews did this kind of crap all the time -- and it still drives me crazy !!

Very edited version as the original is 8 plus minutes

moon too funny to watch miming.

Was this the 7" version

Greta song, but what the heck is that at 3:09 ? Pre-recorded vocals? It makes me wonder if all the vocals were lip-synched... and to think of it the instruments sound a lot like they do on the record. Gotta check on that.

The parting on the left is now the parting on the right. Someone make it stop!
