“The Shares crash. Hopes are dashed. People forget”. Such a great line. That’s why it’s SCREAMED by the crowd at live shows.

Entwistle really outdid himself on this bass line. One of the best of all time.

John Entwistle , with the dynamic bass line was dope...RIP.

I love The Who. I have seen them three times in concert - 1970, 1980 and 2019. They are my favorite live band.

What a message to many facets of life. People do put on an Eminence Front, while hiding their true selves.

John Entwistle is such an incredible bass player, nobody is close Thunder Fingers. The bass is all over it with theses tiny bass fill solos as only The Ox could deliver.

Yep, I am blessed when I grew up during the time when real music has meaning !

Good to hear Tasha talk about the meaning of the song. There are too many reactions that pay attention to the music and not the lyrics which are clearly part of the song. She even mentioned a documentary she'd seen and related it to the song. Great stuff!

This song came out in 1982. By this point The Who, as a band, was 20 years old

70’s and 80’s were the peak of music and America

This is a great driving song

Saw them in concert in the cotton bowl and they jammed this for about 10 mins…it was incredible.

Just an FYI, this was also used as the background music for the GMC Sierra pick up, about being professional grade. A lot of people don't realize that background music is The Who lol

Loved John Entwistle's bass on this.

TNT, love you two. I suggest checking out The Who's biggest hit "Won't Get Fooled Again", also other hits "Who Are You" and "Love Reign O'er Me".

The two Who albums with Kenney Jones are underrated. I know Keith Moon was a tough act to follow but they had some classics on "Face Dances" and "It's Hard"

Love your reaction. I'm a 63 year old Canadian. This is my groove..... and every 70's classic rock riff. It's a world. A real world, living in a put on.

Great as this track is, you STILL haven't really heard The WHO! Behind Blue Eyes, Love Reign O'er Me, and Won't Get Fooled Again are absolutely ESSENTIAL Who tracks!

This is the first album The WHO did an album with their infamous drummer Keith Moon . Keith was like the life of the band . People were talking the band couldn't make it without Keith . This song proved those people wrong .

Oh my gosh, I didn’t realize I won! Yeah!!! Good thing I’m not driving, I’d have this blasting, windows down, cruising down the road! Thank you so much for reacting to my pick! 😎☺️ BTW, this came out the year I graduated high school! I’m so glad you liked it. I was so nervous. T, maybe that’s why I love it so much. I love funk music, and I have always considered this “classic rock” as well. Tasha, exactly right. It’s a put on and it’s all bs!

This is one bad ass tune for its day. Glad to see you dig it!!!!

The tour of this album was the first arena concert I ever went to, it was in '82 and I was only 15

Eminence Front. Great song!

Four words: Love Reign O'er Me.

This was a very good reaction. And I mean your breakdown of the meaning of it. I love The Who. I love this song. You showed me this song in a new light.

My favorite band EVER. They didn't do anything halfway for sure. It's unspeakable that you haven't gotten into them. Listen to that powerhouse that is Daltrey's voice in the song "Love, Reign O'er Me" and you will never forget it.

Holy cow that's the name of that song?? Let's just say I've been singing the wrong thing all these years! Livin in the funk...livin in the funk! LMAO

Yo, I'll apologize ahead of time for not knowing the woman name first time watching your video. For real thou I have listened to that song a thousand if not a hundred thousand times in my lifetime and I always got the Jist of the song but the way the woman broke down the lyrics and said what she felt is the meaning of the song Man opened my eyes her description blew me away. I loved it. Well done Sister! Great job

This was a sample of Pete Townsend's writing style towards the end of The Who's great run as one of the world's greatest rock bands. They had lost their drummer, Keith Moon to a drug overdose, and replaced him with Kenny Jones, formerly of the Small Faces. This was the first album The Who put out with Kenny who did a competent job, he wasn't as flamboyant as Keith, but everyone was getting older and mellowed out a little, so their style was reflecting it. When Pete did his solo work, it sounded a lot like this. Social commentary, current events and such. Not love songs or teenage angst anymore, but the bewildering taking notice of adulthood. The loud and obnoxious guitar riffs were gone, replaced by catchy and whimsical picking and strumming. The Who are perpetually on tour. It's just Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend left now, supported by Zach Starkey on drums (Ringo Starr's son, and prodigy of Ringo and Keith) and a different Bass player since John Entwhistle passed away (again, another overdose).

Greatest Rock Band Ever Greatest live rock band ever

The Who were at their inception, first and foremost, an R & B band. It's difficult to see after almost 60 years of their work defining what hard rock is, but the funk was never far from the surface. You should hear them do "Heat Wave".

Seen these guys twice. Absolutely blew me away!! Wait til you hear " love reign o'er me " mind blowing is an understatement. Let's not forget, the album Whos next is one of the best albums ever created. Not just my opinion. Great reaction you guys...you always ' get it '

The first time I got to listen to Eminence Front was from the TV show called Miami Vice as they used it on one of their episodes. Check it out.

Thanks for doing this one. It's a favorite of mine. On a great pair of headphones or buds this is UNBELIEVABLE! So much going on. So many overlapping sounds. That incredible bass. This song doesn't get enough love.

I love the way you guys were jammin' out with this one. It is probably my favorite song of the The Who!

I remember this first time I heard this song, 1982, my older had his own pad, let me come whenever I wanted. He had a kick ass Kenwood stereo, sitting on the floor in front of the big speakers and listening to Eminence Front..what memories this brings back!

My favorite by the Who. Lead singing on this song is Pete Townsend who also wrote this masterpiece. 🔥

probably the best reaction vid ive seen seeing 2 people just vibing 2 a gr8 song love the who love reign o'er me is a different vibe but probably my favourite

This is my special jam yall. It was so cool you two digging this great tune😊

The Who fan ever since start like music. been born raised in Rio moved to LA . Moved in 81 when was 19 and start seeing all my idols live, remember my first which at the time was living dream Allman Brothers. Was even at the Stones concert when people almost killed Prince,smart he run out of stage. Was around October 83 and The Who had a concert for this new album, to make even more fantastic The Clash played before. L A Coliseum jammed but was able to walk near the stage,The Clash well what can I say when they were finished was out of breath. My girl and I sat on the field to rest drinking water and bear and smoking not a Marlboro . We were there relaxing when the lights went off, and on in all sorts of colors, it was on. They open with a song from the new album with Roger on vocal, He is The Who voice after all and what a voice, played a couple of oldies, when the intro of E Front start before Pete solo came on i was already hooked with the music beat,his solo took me even higher and when he start singing already had on the same level of Love reign on..... . Sure knew he was a good singer, he had release a solo album the year before a good one by the way. Now E Front he wrote for his tune of voice, Roger singing would not feat this tune. Anyway when it was over, got in my car and drove not straight home, went to Tower records to buy the album and still today is on all my playlists.

As George Santayana said "those who forget history are condemned to repeat it." There's a similar theme in another Who song "Won't Get Fooled Again." In the chorus of that song, written during a time when groups like the Black Panthers and the Weathermen were calling for revolution, the protagonist says he will "tip my hat to the new constitution/Take a bow for the new revolution/Smile and grin at the change all around/Pick up my guitar and play/Just like yesterday/Then I'll get on my knees and pray/We don't get fooled again..." Sounds like it could be applied to our current world situation..

You gave one of the best reviews I've heard on YT. I'm subscribing.

This song is in the movie "The infiltrator" , i found myself here because of it, awesome track.

I like the way they start this song with a simple Casio bossa nova setting

What a wonderful reaction, you really understood this song and yes it is so funky! The Who is an incredible rabbit hole ✌💜🎶

A great blast from my past!!! There are many great songs by The Who you can get into.

This tracks Intro is thee GOAT in Rock ever! And the tracks Vibe? Cool like the other side of the pillow!

Great Band! You must listen to “ The Real Me” it really show case’s John Entwistle on the base guitar he was truly a master

Yes you’re right very cool!! jamming’ baby. Thank you great reactions from You both!!

Finally someone did it 🔥🤘🎸

Saw The Who live Tampa Stadium 75…the loudest concert I ever went to! This was a jam song!👍😎

Absolutely great reaction from both of you. You really got into the funky groove. Totally underrated song. Timeless LYRICS.

That was Pete Townsend singing. Him and Daultry harmonized well together.

Best tune on the album. Just a great song and great lyrics

Rare hearing the guitar solo at the beginning of the song....Great song by an amazing band!

"I was not expecting this from the Who"...that makes two of us....lol. For years I did not know this was the WHo.

I’ve been a huge huge fan most of my life I mean one of like the top 10 Who fanatics that exist on the planet and this is the first time I’ve heard ANYONE truly understand this song! I had to explain to friends for years they didn’t get it and honestly I think that you got it even better than me!

I love this song and I thoroughly enjoyed watching you enjoy it also I understand

The who had so much musical talent that they could move into just about whatever genre they pleased. They always had their own sound and were more progressive with great musical and lyrical themes. aaannddd how bout dat bass.... filthy

I got to see The Who in a sumo cast in Chicago. There was so much demand they had to sumo cast the concert in several theaters in Chicagoland. Then they played the movie Tommy, you gotta see it!

I love how "dry" Pete's guitar always seems to be. Does he use effects? of course, but he seems to use them sparingly and not to hide blemishes.

Loved this reaction. One of my favorite songs. I think you two really liked this one. God bless you.

Love the song! The title is actually Eminence Front.

Listen to the groove the bass is laying down. John "Thunderfingers" Entwistle. RIP

Great band with an awesome history being part of the 60's "British Invasion" music scene shaped American culture filling stadiums and arenas of crazed fans and music lovers ❤🔥❤

The great John Entwistle on bass. For me the Greatest bass guitarist ever. Great reaction, love the channel.

Really interesting discussion about the song, generations, and concepts about the economy…

Everyone has a front ,an imminence front , and forget their hiding !

love your analysis on this! spot on!

The smiles on your faces that broke out after the initial drum intro. says it all. This is one of The Who's later hits of the early 80's after their first drummer Keith Moon passed away.

Pete Townsend the guitarist and writer of the Who, sings lead on this track. He also has a solo record. LET MY LOVE OPEN THE DOOR is a very good tune. As for the Who, if you really want to jam hard listen to THE REAL ME. And listen closely to the lyrics.

So much great music from The Who. Behind Blue Eyes is one of my favorites, along with Reign O'er Me, Baba O'Reilly, I Can See For Miles, See Me/Feel Me, pretty much all of Tommy.

This is one grooving song so cool

Behind blue eyes, slip kid, join together, baba o Riley just a few great tunes from one of the best brit bands ever! 🧐🇬🇧✌️

The Who is making one final tour of the US this year. If you want to see an actual legend of a band, get tickets.

Right on, bro and sis! That's my theme song right there! Best song ever written: the lead-in, the vocals, Pete's guitar work, the lyrics.....everything. Many things in life really _are_ an eminence front. They've done a live orchestral version with the NY Symphony Orchestra that's killer too, if you can find it. Very Best Regards, Tom Scott Author ● Speaker ● World's Leading Expert on the Corrupt U.S. Legal System _Our American Injustice System_ _Stack the Legal Odds in Your Favor_

Kenny Jones is definitely totally underrated he did a phenomenal job he was one of the best drummers of all time

At the onset the feeble and cool winds hide the thunderstorm!!!!

Love this song. Great reaction and breakdown.

Hi TNT, Great song great reaction from a legendary band. I checked ya'lls library and did not see any other Who reactions. Perhaps this was your 1st exposure, either way they are a band y'all should deep dive on. As you said when you forget history you are doomed to repeat.

The Who is the most under rated band ever. These guys are filthy! Killer band. All are great at their instruments and Roger has a great voice. Keith is so insane on the drums. John is Mr. Chill on the bass and Pete is always going nuts on lead. Fun to watch them

A great band, Excellent song! Hahahaha when the beat dropped and the smiles you both had, then y'all start grooving! Love it! Makes me happy to see the younger generation enjoying the music I grew up with.

Best Who song eveeeeer. Really just gets in yoir skin. You canthelp but shimmy. No one can not move to this

When this album came out I was a junior in high school. We went to the record store on release day and bugged them until they cut a box open and sold me a record. We went to my house and put the record on. This was the last song on side 1. It hadn’t been played on the radio yet, and it was different. As I listened I thought, “This is either the best or worst song on the record, but I think it’s probably the best.” And it was. I remember like it was yesterday.

Heard this song first on the san andreas radio. Awesome track.

I did love your reaction. Greetings from Chile

Still have goosebumps

I loved your interpretation... both of yours. I think you've both grasped the intent and meaning. It's about the deception that we're subjected to by those that hold positions of influence. It's about the theater we're indoctrinated to as we grew up. The way we've been encouraged to accept the "norms of society". In reality, it just an eminence front, presented to protect and further the agenda of those in power.

Great songs and commentary. I've been listening to rock music since I was a little girl, which initially shocked my mom when she discovered I had strayed from R&B, but she quickly was okay with my choices. I like the version of this song with the delay in it. I may not be describing it correctly, but there is a version where Pete Townshend's opening vocals have a slight delay. People complain about it, but I like that one best. Anyhow, keep up the good work guys.

This is a great Who song. So glad you both liked it so much. Another great Who song is "Join Together". Give that one a try, you'll both love that one too.

Also U guys have to do a live version of Eminence Front, Peter Gabriel goes off on stage. Check it out.

I like that u guys look at the lyrics. This song is about “universal truths” and those are classic. This is an unbelievable song the Who did in 82’, I think. I was 12 when it came out and I loved it the first time I heard it.

Man! Pete Townsend put that bad ass guitar solo right up front and set the tone for the whole thing. You gotta listen to it again. One of the most complex pieces of guitar work you’ll ever hear.

"The Who" are easily a top 10, possibly top 5 all time classic rock band.

Probably my favorite Who song. Glad y'all love it.

They were great!

This was a particular nice resection. Cool song, and just the excitement you showed when the different parts kicked in. Good discussion of the lyrics. Thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you.

Girl you are rockin' the shoulders in this video.

Hi guys. I’ve watched a few of your reactions, but this turned me into a subscriber! Love your vibe and comments. Yes, The Who are a fantastic group. Too many songs to list here. Totally enjoyed watching both of your body language change as the song ramped up. Keep up the good work.

I've followed the Who since before the passing of Keith Moon. When he died, I thought the band was done. But, when this album came out, I knew they had many more years in them.
