I agree completely, other excellent live Who tracks are Relax from Live at The Fillmore East 1968, Bargain & My Wife live in San Francisco 1971 which were featured on Who rarities comps in the 80's and the versions of My Wife, Baba O'Riley and Won't Get Fooled Again from the late 70's on the Kids Are Alright soundtrack.
EVERY (except Kel apparently) teenage record collection in the 70's had Live at Leeds! Listen to Young Man's Blues from this album at ear-bleeding volume levels...not kidding here.
I've been lucky enough to see The Who live 14 times, 5 of them with Keith Moon. I've seen hundreds of bands in my time & The Who are miles ahead as a live band. Stay Safe Tony
Watching the Who is always a unique experience. It's three car crashes happening simultaneously with John anchoring the whole thing with those loping bass lines.
I queued all night for tickets to see The Who at the Newcastle Odeon in 1973 - one of the best live concerts I ever saw - incredibly exciting to see them perform on stage.
You can't go wrong with The Who, they were a popular singles band that got into making incredible albums later. All 4 members were incredible, Keith Moon is amazing to watch in old videos, twirling his sticks, tossing them into the air to catch them just in time for the next beat. He was bigger than life with the soul of an imp and the face of an angel.
Hey guys - Thanks so much for running with my suggestion! I KNEW you would love it. I've been obsessed with this clip for months now (just ask my daughter, who legitimately loves it as well)! My other favorite #Who track over the past several years is the Live at Leeds version of Amazing Journey/Sparks (originally from "Tommy") [Note: If you want to, you can isolate the bass by turning the balance all the way to the left - that works for the whole Live at Leeds album]: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oGtBx8gW8pc.html - And, if you want a different angle on the band, try Pete Townshend's solo acoustic version of Drowned from the "Secret Policeman's Other Ball" album (originally from "Quadrophenia" - my favorite album of theirs): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2t9slqL_eSw.html
One more #Who suggestion - also from "Live at Leeds (and a bigger treat for the isolated bass on the left channel) - the Who's version of Eddie Cochran's Summertime Blues: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-K5jNDQlKDR4.html - and here's the original Eddie Cochran version from 1958: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-In7z7B87Puc.html - Eddie Cochran, along with others like Gene Vincent and Little Richard, were a big influence on the Beatles and other British Invasion bands like the Stones and the Who.
@@BernardWilkinsonSabbath fans and led zeppelin would probs disagree every band I mentioned were infleneced by the who !!! I mean John Bonham loved Keith moon drumming style. Some people are so dumb I swear
Thanks for playing this. I was at the Isle Of Wight festival in 1969, and they played Young Man Blues, along with about 20 more songs. And it was SO good.
Ok Kel, I agreed with you before when you said that videos can be distracting to the music itself....and as I said I agreed. "BUT", in videos like this, live videos that actually show the musicians playing their instruments, this is a different story...Especially watching Keith Moon.....Duuuuuude!!!!!!
Wow memories, seems like yesterday being at the Isle of wight festival that weekend, it was just amazing. Really lucky to live so near the Island and able to see all the amazing bands of this time, one of course was Jimi Hendrix. The Who were amazing.
Seeing you experience all of these bands for the first time is fantastic!! Don't be too angry about missing out when you were younger though Kel.... if you had experienced these bands when you were a kid, you might not appreciate it as much as you do now. I grew up listening to all of these bands, and sometimes I am guilty of taking them for granted.
The Who, Young Man Blues, Live at Leads. My dad showed me that in 2001. My sister was in a ballet lesson at the time. I have a very visceral memory of my dad climbing back into his VW Jetta, closing his door and saying to me "Son, I've got something I wanna show you." Up ti this point in time, I'd only ever heard "wheels on the bus" and other kids songs. My dad pops in the CD, and The Who proceed to methodically blow my 6 year old brains out. As far as I'm concerned, the Who have always been and will always be *ROCK AND ROLL.*
The Who at their prime. Townsend called it their "glory years". I was fortunate to be able to see the band a year before Moonie passed away. Such a memorable outdoor concert (it was just The Who and The Grateful Dead) and they both kicked ass in their respective ways. I really appreciate you paying tribute to them. I also recommend you check out some their tunes from the Woodstock concert such as "Pinball Wizard". Thanks again.
Actually this whole concert if "off the charts" awesome!!! I, myself, only found it about 7 years ago. I've always heard of The Who.... Knew 'some' songs. But, to watch them play live (at least here at Isle of Wight)…. It's amazing!
Hahahaha hahahaha hahahaha!!!!! You two... I saw them "5" times in my short life.the first in 1970. You can't imagine what it was like then. The loudest show I've ever seen. Period! And I've been to probably 100. No other band outdid them. Greetings from Sebastian Florida.
You know what. This is one of my favourite videos on RU-vid. Not the "Young Man Blues" but this actual live reaction. The look on your face is what I imagine my face must look like when I listen to "The Isle of Wight". It is like a bomb going off. It is incendry and still incredible after I have watched it for a millionth time. I have never seen a better rock performance than this.
The WHO are amazing, and I am sorry for the loss of your Son, Rich... You honor him in sharing you Love and Joy of Music... Isle of Wight, Live at Leeds and that era are amazing. Keep smiling and sharing!💜☮️✌️😎🎼🎶🎵🎸🌎🔊
Loved your reactions. The Who are truly amazing. And, I’m sure someone has already mentioned that they are currently on tour. I got to see them last Thursday for the first time. Blown. Away. 🤘. If you get the chance, see them.
My favourite reactors! Kel, you still with that dude? Seriously, I understand how you feel when you hear this and wonder about what you were taught. They told us what not to listen to, so I kept a list and played it when I could. Don’t let them get you down... Anyway, this is one of my favourites and I am glad to see it here!
This is one of the main reasons I like being my age....that I was able to see ALL these bands live in there hey day. Having grown up in the San Fran Bay Area when Bill Graham was around, and living through the summer of love...I saw some AMAZING shows. The Fillmore, Winterland, Days on the Green at the Oakland Coliseum....and back then shows were cheap. Keep on ROCKING !!!
This performance by The Who is off the charts INCREDIBLE.......but I'm so sad to hear about the passing of your son. My sincere condolences. Thanks for all the great reaction video's from you and Kel!
Loved this! You should both do a review/reaction of The Who's "Young Man Blues" from the Young Vic show in 1971. It's the most kick-ass, in your face version. The Who took to the stage and showed no mercy and took no prisoners in that performance
Kel-n-Rich "Water" from Isle of Wight is just is GOOD! In the same vein. Also, Tommy, all songs at the same concert are AMAZING. Young Man Blues is my favorite performance EVER!
Saw the Who back in 1994, opening night of the reunion tour in Glens Falls...5000 seat show...Kel, you can still see the Who...Townsend, Daltrey, Paladino and Starkey (son of a Beatle) The Who lives !
# The Who Love, Reign o’er Me Another Who song worth checking out. A little different side of the range and power than displayed in the Tommy live era. As pointed out Live at Leeds is a killer live album recorded in 1970. They expand My Generation into quite an epic number with some improve and Tommy material.
Hi Kel-n-Rich, I have really enjoyed watching many of your reaction videos, thanks for sharing them with us. Young Man's Blues is an old Mose Allison song that Pete really liked. The Who really are unique, and the late great Gary Moore once said after coming out of a Who concert as a 14 year old in Belfast in 1966 that after seeing The Who he felt like he had been in a fight! And he said that The Who were the first punk band and I think he summed them up pretty well? Do check out The Who's 1975 album Who By Numbers, it is a largely forgotten hidden gem, and has some incredible songs on it.
I love The Who, they were my 1st concert experience in 1981, sadly no Keith Moon. They started as a brilliant singles band and grew into an incredible album band. You need to react to their performance from the Rolling Stone's "Rock and Roll Circus." Their performance of 'A Quick One, While He's Away' shamed the Stones so much that they shelved the project for 30 years.
🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant reaction from you both 👏👏👏 I'd forgotten just how good the Isle of Wight concert was. I was lucky enough to see them 4 times live in the late 70s and early 80s .... best live band of all time.
Don't ever change Kel.Your reactions are priceless.The Who from around this period were amazing.I don't think any band could match them for their raw energy when playing live at this stage.I was lucky enough to see them in 1976 and they certainly blew me away.
Just watched it again to catch more of your facial expressions - which were priceless! :-) You asked where the song came from. It's an old blues by Mose Allison that was a staple of early who concert sets. I wouldn't be surprised if they're still doing it on the current tour (just Daltrey and Townshend now, but likely a great band behind them, though nothing compares to Moon and Entwistle. I was a little late in truly appreciating The Who myself. I'd always loved the hits, but seeing them live in '89, '96, and 2000 (especially 2000), plus multiple solo Townshend shows really cemented their reputation for me. You should definitely seek out the rest of the Isle of Wight show, plus the "Live at Leeds" album (make sure it's the remastered version which has more than twice as much music as the original single-vinyl album). Their performance at the Concert for NY (just after 9/11) was not perfect, but quite powerful. So much #who to recommend. Email me, my friends. I've got stories. :-)
New subscriber but long time Who fan. Saw them in 1968 in Saskatoon Sk when I was 16. Still the best concert of my life! They returned to Saskatoon in 2018. I was hesitant to see them as I never got over the loss of Keith Moon and Ox - John Entwistle. Very glad I went. Great concert. Zak Starkey on drums was terrific! They closed with Won’t Get Fooled Again and it was magnificent ... rock at its best!
The Who!! The forefathers of punk. Yet they stayed pure, in their rock n roll. Now...I'm heading over to the website, for my suggestions. 🤘🤘 #feelthemusic
The Who actually have an album coming out this year. And yes, still touring. Also, John Entwistle passed away in addition to Keith Moon. In 2001, I believe or thereabouts.
Roger "Leather Lungs" Daltrey using 2 mic's proves that he isn't lying when he sings in Baba O'Riley "I get my back into my living". Pete and Keith feeding off each other like some sort of nuclear fusion.....while John Entwistle keeps it steady as she goes while the rest of the band soars into the atmosphere with awesomness!
Greetings from England guys! This version of Young Man Blues is amazing! However the version on the album "Live At Leeds" is far superior. Please PLEASE check it out!
I’ve watched this footage so many times over the years. It really is The Who at their best. The clip kind of makes you wonder why any other band even bothered getting on stage in those days.
cool fact - Ringo Starr's son Zak Starkey is the current drummer for the Who. Keith Moon gave Ringo Starr’s son Zak his first drum kit. Moon was one of Ringo’s closest friends and Zak Starkey's godfather. Pete Townshend himself has called Zak “the karmic Keith Moon.” Zak says, “Keith was like an uncle, really. He was one of my dad’s best friends. When my brother, sister, and I used to stay with my dad there, we would occasionally spend a few days at Keith’s house. Keith was the babysitter. “
@@Kel.N.RichReactions You're welcome Kel. I don't want to bum you out but today is May 4th. Please listen to two songs that commemorate the tragedy that occurred on this date 51 years ago. The Beach Boys - Student demonstration time, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young - Ohio. I was 16 when this happened. It left a deep scaring memory on me and many others. Keep up your quest to hear and enjoy more of the kick ass music that you were deprived of growing up. Please dont be too mad at your parents. They were only acting the way millions of parents did. 😊 ✌
Kel, I love you in a cool way! You are so awesome and I grew up knowing a few serious musicians that had never experienced some really great bands and musicians. Love you both! Keep bringing some awesome music.
I saw them, guys...March 1976 at the old Boston Garden in Boston, MA (2 songs, then Keith passed out), and after that, the make-up show in April. Unforgettable. If you want another Who tune, check out "The Rock" from their 1973 album Quadrophenia. The best instrumental in the history of rock and roll in my opinion.
“I’m having problems with those things” ~ Kell you are priceless 😁 Rich I have seen them 4 times but this small venue vid is flippin’ awesome 🤙 ~ as always you are spot on.
'What other song would I know of them?" THAT WAS AWESOME!!!! Play Kel some songs. She'll recognize some. Play Who are You. Kel has to know that? Oh Play some DOORS!!! Play "This is the End"!! #Beautifulfriends
