On the DVD for this there are different angles etc, and one of those is Ox Cam with an isolated bass track and focussed on John Entwistle the whole time. Sadly the video breaks up occasionally but you might find it around KZitem. He was arguably one of the finest bass players: he played lead bass to Townsend's lead guitar imo. They are 4 supremely talented musicians. He and Keith Moon are sadly missed.

I'm glad I watched this. I knew the Who's music, having been born in 54, of course! - but I couldn't have even told you the name of the bass player before (although I'd seen it on my album liner for "Tommy"). Also, I realize that I have underestimated their gifts. I always leaned to Jethro Tull and that madness. Ian Anderson was a great talent but he stopped really using it when fame went to his damn head.

The Who did this performance at Shepperton Studios. In the studio next door, the movie 'Alien' was being filmed. The cast and crew of Alien went over to watch the performance by The Who and they liked the laser show in WGFA so much, they borrowed the laser equipment from The Who and used it in the movie. So next time you watch Alien, keep an eye out for The Who's lasers! Also, in attendance at the show was a young and still unknown Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders.

Re: Moon being tired on the drums. He did 2.5 hour long shows, and he played THAT hard (actually a lot harder) for the whole show. He just never ran out of gas. This is why you have to see him in the Isle of Wight show, played at 2 am for a crowd bigger than Woodstock. Young Man Blues is the usual recommendation and it's fantastic. However for best Moon performance I've seen on film, I think I Don't Even Know Myself from the same concert is the best I've ever seen. He's like if a jackhammer had a baby with a ballet dancer.

Keith Moon would smash up a lot of things! He was also known for blowing up the toilets in hotel rooms. I believe there was also a live TV show in the USA where they set up a sort of cannon with a small pyrotechnic charge in it, behind the bass drum, to make a small bang and a bit of smoke at the end of their set. Unbeknown to the band and stage crew, Keith found where the pyrotechnic charges were kept and stuffed several extra ones into the thing. So, at the planned moment, there was an enormous bang, the bass drum was completely destroyed and Pete Townsend, who was standing in front of the drum kit at the time, ended up with his hair on fire and, I think, permanent damage to his hearing. Keith was of course sat on his drum stool grinning from ear to ear.

This wasn’t actually a “real” concert. It was filmed as part of a promo in a large studio. They brought in a modest sized audience, and used professional filming, and just performed two or three songs. That’s why it looks and sounds so much better than your typical live concert footage.

Laser light shows fully emerged in the early 1970s and became a form of psychedelic entertainment, usually accompanied with a live musical performance on stage or pre-recorded music. The Who, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and Electric Light Orchestra were among the first high-profile rock acts to use lasers in their concert shows in the mid-1970s. Nothings really new young man, had to say young man. lol

Rock -N-Roll at it's finest❣️ .. Townshend (lead guitarist) known for his windmilling/leaping performances, Daltrey (lead vocalist) with one of the most iconic Rock screams here, Keith Moon (Drummer) one of the wildest craziest best rock drummers nicknamed "Moon The Loon" & John Entwistle (bass) much more subdued in body movements with the exception of his hands, arms & fingers owning the bass. The Who is definitely a high performance band necessary to view live vids when reacting to most of their tracks. Ur reaction to this one is priceless Salvo..one of my top reactions foe sure. Good to see you get so excited the way we all did when we first heard certain tracks .. many many times. Luv it😁 Keep Rocking🤘🏼☮️

You really need to check out their performance of 'Young Man's Blues' from the Isle of Wight Festival 1970. Even more epic.

Came on to say the same thing. Also, “Magic Bus” from Live At Leeds, 1970. My favorite.

the video was remastered in early 2000's, this was the last time the original 4 played together live, Keith would pass away in the summer, Pete did the jump/slide across the stage because the directer told him to do something that is "rock n roll" been a fan for 40 years and to this day this video gives me goosebumps....

I think it's awesome that you said "you can tell they are all having fun"... if you can find the story behind this particular show and this moment, you will learn that they were actually all very pissed off.

Take another step with The Who live and check out Young Man Blues from the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival. If you're not hooked yet, you definitely will be. Be prepared...

I got to see The Who at the Capital Center around 77 or 78. Fantastic show. Definitely the loudest concert I’ve ever been to. My ears were ringing for a week.

They did have a flair for the ("Behind Blue Eyes 👀 " should be next) dramatic. Pete wrote the first Rock Opera "Tommy" after all.
