Never mind that they influenced punk, metal, grunge, britpop, power pop, and pretty much every form of hard rock that came after them.

I went to see Roger Daltrey at a gig in Boston last Thursday. I've been to too many Who and Who-solo gigs to recall how many over the years, but that gig in Boston on Thursday night was perhaps the greatest Daltrey gig I've ever seen. His sense of humor was amazing. His voice sounded better than it did in 1982. He played many obscure Who and Daltrey-solo songs. He played several songs from other artists. And he seemed to be so happy to be still performing. He also mentioned The Who will likely record a new album and tour in 2025. Time will tell.

Pete recorded that synthesizer sequence in the studio for Who's Next, and put in hours of work layering each sequence individually, which made it essentially impossible to play live. So they used the tape track of the intro in live shows, and Pete made sure the audience knew that part wasn't live. But this isn't a case of a band playing a pre-recorded track to be lazy, they used that track out of necessity live, and The Who never hid that fact.

@@Bonn1770 I’ve tried to build a synth program to emulate this, and gotten pretty close, but it’s not perfect. Certainly not good enough for a huge live show on a pro level, but it’s close enough for a cover band playing for drunks. Even so, still need someone full time on the keys on that song, The Who didn’t have the extra man, and nailing that track to Pete’s standards every show would have been nigh impossible. That arpeggiator can be like walking a tightrope. How he did it in the first place blows my mind. It’s hard enough to copy, let alone invent from scratch!

Whenever the history of electronic music is discussed The Who are never mentioned, and yet the synthesiser use on "Who's Next" was way ahead of the game, surely as important as Wendy Carlos andTangerine Dream. Isn't it astounding that the wildest, most uncontrollable drummer ever could find in himself the discipline to play to a rigid electronic pulse, and still sound very very much like himself . And even more amazing he might be the first drummer to try this and carry it off successfully. If that's true then this is a monumental step forward that's never even mentioned.

This performance is off the charts incredible. No one can bring this much excitement to the stage today. Pete seems absolutely possessed. They probably said this is from 1979 because it was first shown in the movie The Kids Are Alright which was released in 1979. It’s actually filmed a year earlier and this is actually the second time it was filmed. Pete didn’t like the first live performances of this song or We Won’t Get Fooled Again…. so they filmed it again a month later. It was filmed at Sheppards Bush. Not really an actual “concert” but filmed in front of a small crowd. Dave Lewis who is a Zeppelin historian was in the crowd and at the end of We Don’t Get Fooled Again you see a young drunk Dave Lewis jump up on stage and hug Pete Townshend. Cheers

Tickets were $18-I still have my concert stub-always saved them from every concert: Who, Kinks, Bowie, Prince, REM, Bruce, Peter Gabriel, FARM-AID. Every New Year’s I’d pulled out my ticket stubs to reminisce about the concerts I went to. I’m glad to be my age because I was able to use money from a part time job to buy concert tickets-now you have to take out a loan practically to see some artists, esp with that evil dynamic pricing. I couldn’t afford to see them today. Nowadays you get a digital ticket-not even a real ticket stub to save. 😥

Ok, this brings back memories. I got the best seats in my life Right after this album came out. I was in junior high. They came to Memphis and it was sold out. A car load of my friends went to the arena to the box office. We went and asked if they had any tickets left. The lady said well we have some behind the band. We blocked These seats. We all said YES. Lol. So we go up, the stage is right next to the risers where We got seats, looking down on the band and could see everything they were doing. It Had to be early 70's I graduated in 75. There was 5 or 6 of us. Keith was so funny. He played and talked to us all night. Now they were playing live. Watching them Roger was a crazy man, really swinging That Mike. Keith was hitting the drums too. Best concert I have been to. They came back again in a yr or so. So we went and got the same seats.

I saw The Who in 1976 and your observations on them being a great combination of music and show is spot on. That show ranks in my three best shows ever, along with Paul McCartney and Wings and Pink Floyd's The Wall (in 1980). I'd have a tough time picking which one would be #1. Heck, I saw The Who with Kenny Jones and that might rank in my top 10. They really were a great live band.

I saw them at COBO Hall in Detroit in the very early 70’s(tickets $3.50 US). The opening act was Joe Walsh. I remember Townsend in a white jumpsuit the whole concert. The energy on stage and in the crowd was unbelievable. Never saw anything like that since! Queen may have been close.

Saw them in '75...Pete's windmills were crazy...Roger whipping the mic around...Keith all over the place on the skins and John stoically playing impeccable bass...the best !!

Hi Fil, One of your most fabulous analyses ever! This is a great song. So classic and energetic. I have always loved Roger Daltry’s voice. He has an amazing range and soulful rock sound. Thank you for pointing out all the little details, especially the gaffer taped headphones. Just great stuff, loved it. Really great one for tonight! Debbie☮️

LOVE THIS SONG. I got to see this band when I lived in Cleveland. They played the outside stadium. Roger Daltrey was wearing his 'Woodstock" fringed jacket.

They tapped the headphones to Keiths' head because he moved around a lot. Also the synth playing was a tape. They didn't have a keyboard player live until "Rabbit" Bundrick joined the band.

Saw them live on the "Tommy" tour, and it was the most intensely electrical show (has to be labeled a "show" not a "Concert" I've ever seen (and I've seen my fair share)... Amazing music, and of course: showmanship... We were so energized after this show, we were literally climbing the walls of the exterior of the building as we made our way down the street...

Great one tonight! What a rocking performance this is! I adore the Who! I had visions of that microphone flying into the audience and knocking someone out! 🤕 I didn't notice the gaffer tape at first! Gaffer taped 🎧 headphones, yes! Windmill playing! Thanks for this one ,Fil! Very well done!💜

Baba O'Riley has so many things going on in it and is absolutely timeless. I've seen The Who several times over the years, as well as Roger doing a solo show. They have been incredible every single time. I just watched their set at The Concert for New York again this morning and they were hands down, the best performance of the show. The firefighters and police loved them and they were very humble to the crowd.

@PeterDrewVoiceovers Yes. And as a drummer I gotta tell you , it was fan - dam- tastic . 2 of my favorites in one night , no more than 25 feet away. On a low stage . There is a book that tells The WHO'S story from 1964 thru 1978 . And there is a photo of the concert poster for that very show. Townsend mentions it in his book " Who I am ".

This and the version of “Won’t Get Fooled Again” that they did at the same time at Shepperton Studios will always be the greatest testament of The Who. The sheer power and showmanship here are unmatched. Their last performance, as well. It was a heck of a way to go out.

I've watched this performance about 4,000 times over 42 years, and it was only now that I noticed Keith yell to someone behind him, "Gong!" I always heard the gong on the song but thought it might've been added later. Too funny. Just about at the 6:23 mark.

I'm a rock singer and Roger Daultry was one of my idols. He is definitely among my top 5 favorite rock singers. This is just one of his many unbelievable vocal performances. The Who, at their best, in their prime? Yes please! Give me all of that! There is no weak link.
