The best live album of it's day. If you follow the history of this band, their development as a band is amazing. From this song to 2 rock operas. Amazing
It's been said LIVE AT LEEDS is thee best live album. I concur. Althou I would recommend the "Deluxe Edition". Contains more songs from L @ L concert plus a live TOMMY to boot.
YEEESSS!! Live at Leeds (Deluxe Version) is one of my top 5 favorite albums ever!! I know they’d just love it straight through as the performance of each and every song is absolutely pedal to the metal pure-fire bangers! 🔥 “Amazing Journey/Sparks” is, for me, one of the greatest moments ever recorded in Rock history.. My Generation with the “Sparks” jam is equally stellar. Heck, even the very opening of it with “Heaven and Hell” will blow a mf’er in their seat back! But just EVERY SINGLE SONG on it is totally killer!!
That 30 or so second period where Townsend alternates between shaking his Gibson and slashing at it is still one of the most exciting live things I've seen, hairs on the back of the neck everytime.
Go watch 1970 Who live at Lenox Massachusetts. During Sparks 48 minutes in Pete does the same sort of thing. That’s my favorite Pete T moment. Rock god!
@@hoovz1315 YES!!!! You will find it under Tanglewood. It was Pete's favorite show. Also, Moon was (relatively) sober. Take the Wight performance and sober him up, it's mental.
The stereo version of this song in The London Coliseum was the best especially when Pete clicks on the super fuzz ,on the dvd 5.1 the sound isn''t so great.
John Entwistle was one of rock's most important bassists, and his approach to playing was a HUGE influence on Chris Squire and all of the great bassists from the progressive rock and jazz fusion bands. Noel Redding, Jimi's bassist in the Experience, was another bassist whose style should not be overlooked when discussing influential players from the '60s. I'm loving your journey through history!
Agreed on John Entwistle being a monster, played lead bass, the driving rhythms & tasty fills riding over the music. He always seemed to like the high end with his fills. Jack Bruce was another great as pointed out.
You've discovered Keith Moon!! The expression on your faces was priceless. When my husband was alive he would go to his shop and while working the sounds of the Who permeated throughout the neighborhood as listening to anything softly was not in his DNA.. I love your channel keep it up. It makes my day so much more enjoyable to see you guys discovering these great artist and songs. Thank You🎶🎵🎼🎶☀️✌️
@@AirplayBeatsPlease select a song for Fifty Fifty Cupid. This song is currently ranked 60th on the Billboard Hot 100, and the ranking continues to rise. It's a song about sad love, and it's very exciting and sweet. There are two versions, the original has rapping and choreography in the middle and requires subtitles because Korean and English are mixed, and the twin version is only in English. For reference, it is extremely popular on TikTok, and it is the twin version that has been on the Billboard. Depending on your preference, or both are highly recommended. What is very surprising about these singers is that they are now newcomers who have only debuted for 5 months. 2 vocalists (Aran, Sio) and 2 rappers (Keena, Saena) are members, and they are really good at vocals, dancing, and rapping, so you can look forward to it. If you enjoyed Cupid, please enjoy the other four songs that were pre-sold first. Thank you.
Moon is the most legendary wild man in rock and roll history. Joe Walsh, who was legendary in his own right for his antrics, said, "The most terrifying thing that ever happened to me is was Keith Moon decided he liked me."
The Who were the best and loudest rock band around.I saw Zeppelin and Hendrix live but the Who were in a different league!The Who did not just play,they waged war!
Long live Keith Moon. He played "lead drums" while Pete played lead guitar. His work on "Who's Next" and "Quadrophenia" is legendary. The Who was the loudest band I ever saw in concert.
One of the few bands the punks didn't want to take down in the mid-70s. You can see why. Punk before punk (even when playing a cover of Mose Allison's Young Man Blues!). Notably, Allison himself called the Live at Leeds (1970) version by The Who as the "command performance" of his song.
I was at this performance on the Isle of Wight, it was like 2am in a field and The Who absolutely killed it, they were one of the very best and loudest live bands ever, their performance at Woodstock is worth watching.
In the early days of The Who, the drummer often was asked to slow down his chops they were exceedingly quick. Pete Townsend would strike the stage with his guitar like an axe hence the term "axeman" came about, and then without question the goat on bass John Entwistle.
In the top 5 of greatest rock bands ever... each individual of The Who were such powerhouses... but gentlemen... John Entwistles bass in this cut top notch!!! Great pick guys.. love what you do!!
You’ve got to check out the Who’s entire performance at Isle of Wight 1970. It is all incredible! And for that matter, check out all of the bands at the Isle of Wight-one of the most epic concert festivals in history. More people than Woodstock attended.
Definitely as good as any live rock and roll band has ever been in their heyday, when Keith and John were still around, and Keith was fit and relatively healthy.
Yep, saw The Who live in 1972 for the first time, in Amsterdam. It was kinda like this, extremely loud, but excellent. Best concert i've seen in my life. Thanks guys, great reaction. 👍👊😁
Saw them when i was 16 at the Boston Music Hall in 1971 :Who's Next" was what they played the entire Lp then some hits. Front Row Center Balcony i heard Crickets for 3 days Patti LABelle n the Blue Bell's opened
Possibly my favourite band, another great band from the UK , roger daltrey vocals, Pete Townsend guitar, the mighty John entwhistle RIP on bass and the Keith moon (aka moon the loon) on drums, possibly one of the most unorthodox and best rock drummers that ever lived RIP. They absolutely smash this
Estimated six hundred thousand in the audience. Three day festival. Doors, Who, and Hendrix were the headliners. Hendrix had two weeks to live. The Who provided the PA for this festival. You can watch other performances from it and see their speakers. Particularly Free, Rory Gallagher, and Jethro Tull. The Who were, by this time, veterans of big rock festivals, and they rented out their PA. It was the best in the world. Pete is twenty-five here. Keith is twenty-three. Rog and John are the old men at twenty-six.
John Entwistle doesn't move around much, but he plays circles around most bassists. He died at 57. He was found dead of a cocaine OD by the stripper in his bed the morning after their final co cert rehearsal. He was in the Hsrd Rock Hotel in Vegas. Keith Moon was called Moon the Loon. Every rock star cliche like trashing hotel rooms, driving into pools, was yet a cliche when he did all of them. He also ODed. The 1969-1970 tours were like this song. Half their natural was acoustic based, but they played them all like this. Live at Leeds is an incredible document of that era. In the late 1980s, they started bring extra players to perform vloser to the albums. Here, they were about pure power.
Quote about Keith Moon "That's a Bad Man right there". He's the Baddest of the Bad Men, anywhere any time. "Young Man's Blues" is a cover song, one of their few covers, once they got established. Gotta love Bassist John Entwistle's skeleton suit too.
F me, I've never seen this version. Scandalously remiss! Great song. Great group. great reaction. There, my hat trick for the morning! God rest the departed John Entwistle and Keith Moon, and God save Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend.
This is what The Who were about. Had the joy of seeing them twice when drummer Keith Moon was still alive. He was one of a kind, drumming in a whole 'nother dimension
Y'all are hitting some sure enough bangers today! This is my go to Who cut for people who don't know what they were like live in their prime. Amazinglystrong live act. Put it with "Tobacco Road" and you're getting some prime live footage. Well done.
As someone who has seen the Who live in their prime, I can tell you there is nothing mellow about them in concert. One of the hardest rocking bands in history.
The bassist, John Entwistle was a fabulous musician, playing French horn and other instruments. What a fantastic bassist. Moon was my hero. He died way too soon. Lived hard died young, left nothing but magical memories and unique drum scores.
Give Pete Townsend credit for writing in the song Keith Moon's acrobatics. To pause the song enough for Keith to bang his drumstick up in the air and then catch it and then the music starts after he catches it and starts playing it again. Writing acrobatics into the song. Phenomenal
Had the opportunity to see the Who four times over the years, one of the loudest live you could hear! I went to a concert in Dec. ‘79 at Riverfront Coliseum (now known as Heritage Bank Center) in Cincinnati, Ohio. 11 concert goers were killed when the crowd rushed the only entrance doors open(they were crushed/asphyxiated)!
@@loosilu We were in ST. Louis at the Checker Dome for the 1974 Quadraphenia Tour, the crowd was close to 30k. We were sitting on the hockey arena front row. Lynyrd Skynyrd came out and played “Gimme Three Steps”, the house lights were still on, they started “Free Bird” and the crowd booed them off the stage halfway through the song! After Skynyrd left the stage the lights went down and the crowd pushed to the stage! You could literally see waves in the crowd on the floor! After about ten minutes of chaos, Roger Daltrey came out and told the crowd to “back off before some people got hurt; and if they didn’t The Who wouldn’t come on stage. they were there to have fun and rock, not to have fans hurt!” Ten minutes later they started and did two hours of “WHO” kick@ azz rock. I still have my 5 dollar ticket with “obscured vision” stamped across it. Left a good portion of my hearing in St. Louis that night. Drove home four hours with ringing ears and a very decent window pane buzz the next day.
@@loosilu No one in the Coliseum knew there were casualties that night, unless they were at the entrance doors that were stampeded! We didn’t know until the next day when it hit the news channels!
The windmill move from Pete Townsend is stuff of legend. When he struck chords with full arm extended and rotated it full round about, he would often shred his fingers on strings.
"They're all rock stars, they could all be leaders of the band." You nailed it with those observations, that's The Who 101 - 4 genius lead players producing something even greater than the sum of the parts
This is What the Who was and still are in Concert.....Rough!!!! Tough!!! WILD!!! The Band by everyone ...critics and public consider them as the Hardest Rock n' Roll band EVER!!! In 1962 The Beatles....The Rolling Stones....The Who were formed....and they are really the gods of Rock n' Roll. They pioneer music and performances to come....paved the way!!! And audiences LOVED IT!!!!! Great Reactions!!!!!
Yes sir. Who live The Ox on bass, nobody was better( Mic Drop). Moon the Loon on drums, speaks for itself. Pete on the electric twanger & Roger on vocals. Great powerful band live Had the pleasure in the late 70s when I was in high school. Thanks.
For the longest time they held the record for loudest band in the world. And despite the chill calm appearance of the Bass player if you listen he is often the driving force of the performance.
This tune is actually a jazz tune from Mose Allison who was a pianist & vocalist. Shows that they were very aware what was happening in Jazz. The fusion of jazz and rock was pretty common in this period, some combo rhythm sections that were jazz influenced were Jack Bruce & Ginger Baker (The Graham Bond Organisation & Cream), John McVie & Mick Fleetwood (John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac), Andy Pyle & Ron Berg (Blodwyn Pig, a personal favorite you would like), the list goes on.
The power of Pete Townshend with Keith Moon hammering along, John Entwistle chillin' while shredding that bass and Roger Daltrey belting it out - The Who were one of the biggest baddest bands in rock!
My favorite band! Pete’s the mastermind and was so innovative and important to music that followed. Moonie is one of the greatest rock drummers ever. Entwistle imo was the best rock bass player and Roger is a true rock vocalist. I’d put him right after Plant. Saw them 8 times, sadly only once (1st time) with Keith Moon. Their catalogue is long and deep!
Your obvious admiration for The Who’s’ live prowess, was fun to watch. 2 additional live vids to catch now. Won’t Get Fooled Again, Sheperton Studios 1979 and A Quick One While He’s Away from The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus. Enjoy!!
The song was written by jazz-blues legend Mose Allison, who said he disliked rock music until the royalty checks from The Who's cover started rolling in.
It should be noted! They played this show at 2 AM....which is incredible. AND, John Entwistle's skeleton suit arrived right before the gig and it was TOO small, he had to be SEWN into it! Haha..
November 17, 1967...my sister was a freshman at Shawnee Mission South high school. She paid $3 for tickets to a concert in the school gym. The Buckinghams were at the top of the bill. The warm up band was The Who.... playing an eight song set and wrecking the stage along with their equipment at the end. I was "this close" to seeing them. My dad tried to find my sister because he forgot his house keys, but gave up because it was "too GD loud!"
Let me remind you that the group Who was one of the first who started breaking guitars in the music arena, there is even video evidence, although later they admitted that it cost them a pretty penny, because guitars are not cheap, and for professional musicians, guitars were made to order by the best manufacturers, but this was, then it was picked up by the rest of the hard rock bands, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Motley Crue, Kiss, Cinderella and others. Group Who is a legendary group that takes its rightful place in the hall of fame.
I saw the Who at their drum-kicking, mike-twirling, guitar-smashing, dummy amp-smoking best in 1967 and after their accountants had gotten to them in 1968 where the music hadn't suffered but the show had. Entwhistle was the creative but stoic calm in the middle of the storm in '67 when, after mike-twirling Daltrey had finished singing, Moon had kicked his drums all over the stage, and Townshend had smashed his Fender Telecaster and tossed the neck into the audience, and he was the last one on stage, he took off his Fender jazz bass and dropped it butt-end on the stage and walked off...it was the perfect punctuation mark to end the concert!
That was amazing!! 1970 must've been the greatest year ever to see rock n roll concerts. At least that seems to be the year with a great deal of video. Top of my head.... Zep, Chicago, Elvis in Vegas, Deep Purple, Sabbath, Allman Brothers. WOW! What a year! Another great reaction, guys! ✌🏼❤
Moon the Loon probably the most Influential rock ‘n’ roll drummer in the history of rock ‘n’ roll The WHO were once banned from staying at Holiday inn for life Keith moon once drove a Rolls-Royce into a swimming pool at a big swanky hotel in the London I think it was definitely in my top three favorite bands of all time seen them several times in the early 70s loudest concert ever was literally deaf for three days after but totally worth it
All the Who members were great muscians and Roger Daltry a great singer. They had to bring it at the super large shows and festivals because Jimi Hendrix was always there as well so their showmanship had to be elevated. Great reaction guys.
The Live at Leeds My Generation Medley takes up on side of the album and it will leave you speechless..The build up through the song(s) and the finale..awesome to say the least
Someone once described John Entwistle as the anchor of the group. Townsend, Daltry, and Moon were flying all over the stage some that that if Enwistle weren't there, the who group would have flown off the stage.
