Back in the day music was king. There were no video games, cell phones and television programming was limited. The concerts back then often featured many bands all on one bill at about 6 or 7 dollars per ticket. There were many, many free outdoor concerts with all kinds of lesser known or local bands. It was truly a generation of sex, drugs and rock and roll and youth rose up against institutions and parents. Great iconic bands were coming out from everywhere and the choice of sounds and music were endless. It's great to watch the two of you discover this glorious time in music history but you've only begun to scratch the surface. Thank you for your openness to explore and discover the pure magical genius that is truly a time period in music that should never be lost.

In case nobody has yet mentioned it in the comments - 1) Pete Townshend actually wrote the lyrics to be stuttered intentionally. 2) There's a great clip of them performing the song (live, no lip-sync) several years after it was a hit, on the network TV show The Smothers Brothers (which pushed a lot of boundaries) and they literally wreaked havoc at the end of the song.

@tagscientist 9 ай бұрын

You are right about it being written in but the stutter was supposed to be the result of taking bennies - benzidines can cause stutters (Drug induced stutter). Dunno whether he really was taking them - but that was meant to be the effect.

@stevegreen5552 2 жыл бұрын

The Who recorded this in 1965, way before Woodstock. The UK "mod" movement took the Who to heart, and the red/white/blue roundal was one of their symbols, as was riding scooters. The mods and rockers were rival groups, and there were legendary fights - notably at seaside resorts. This youth rebellion was at odds with the stricter upbringing of earlier times. Maybe the Who's sound struck a chord with these youths. Billy Joel did record We Didn't Start the Fire. Billy Idol was a member of the band Generation X before he went solo.

I was at the original woodstock In 1969. We were driving up the New York Thru way and traffic started to get heavy so I took the next exit and drove towards where I thought the event would be held. I came across a farmer and asked him if there was another entrance this way. "Sure" he told me. "Just take the next road you come to and go left." As it turned out, we had stumbled onto the band entrance. We kept going and came to the stage. We set up our tent close to the stage and spent the next 3 days there. We spent some time in the audience and other times we just walked around and met people. Everyone was so FRIENDLY. People were collecting food for those that didn't bring enough. Guys on motorcycles were picking up the garbage. The vibe was like nothing I had ever seen before (or since). The music was incredible, of course, but the feeling of togetherness was simply amazing. I thought you might like to hear a little first hand account of Woodstock since you have been captured by the magic of it. Keep up the good work and let the world know what a special time it was. You might enjoy listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young doing Deja Vu.

The slight stammer from the lead singer, Roger Daltrey, was intentional. He was mimicking the way some Mods (fans of the band and part of a larger movement at the time) spoke when they took pills. Got them into some controversy, but it was worth it. Released in 1965, it reached #2 in England. One of the first things I learned to play on the guitar, too! Thanks for this!

As noted, this was one of The Who's early breaktrough singles (along with "I Can't Explain" and "Substitute"). By 1969, they'd not only started putting out more-sophisticated singles (such as the exquisite "I Can See for Miles"), but were working towards long-form pieces, the "rock opera" series of songs. Their first major success here would come later in 1969, with "Tommy". ("Pinball Wizard" is one of the most famous bits from that.) Pete Townsend's next Great Idea, "Lifehouse", collapsed in the planning stages in 1971, but some of the pieces ("Baba O'Riley", "Won't Get Fooled Again") succeed on their own. My favorite piece is the central song, "Pure and Easy", which was left off the ensuing album. More powerful singles ("Join Together", "Naked Eye") followed. (The expanded "Naked Eye", live in concert, is a true great.). In 1973, Pete put out the next "opera", "Quadrophrenia", with bangers like "5:15" and "Love, Reign O'er Me". After that, mostly just albums. Keith Moon (drums) dies of a drug OD in 1978; John Entwistle (bass) follows in 2002. Pete and Roger "retired" the Who in 2016, but still do occasional shows. One reviewer rated the Who as one of the four Top Bands of All Time (Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Kinks). You could argue, but you'd be wrong, lol.

As mentioned this was already an old song by the time they performed it at Woodstock. The Who didn't like Woodstock. Pete Townsend once said the lyrics were partly inspired by frustration at 'imperious landlords' and having his car towed away by the Queen Mother - he drove in an old hearse at the time and one time he parked it too close to one of the Queen Mother's residences and it was towed away - 'Townshend explains, “Out of nowhere, I received a call from a man who wanted to buy the Packard. It emerged it had been impounded at the request of the Queen Mother. She had to pass it every day and complained that it reminded her of her late husband’s funeral.” Regardless of the sombre motive behind the request, it is still quite a bombastic notion to simply have the poor, struggling rock star’s trusted vehicle towed away at your behest on a whim of unfortunate circumstance. A miffed, Townshend continues, “The bill to recover the car was over £200, an absurdly large sum of money, but the buyer offered to pay the fee in return for ownership. I agreed.” The money raised from the sale helped the band to pursue a musical path and by 1965 they were changing the face of music with their debut album. When all was said and done, we have the Queen Mother’s solipsistic ways to thanks for one of the greatest songs of the era. As Townshend concludes, “I resentfully dedicated ‘My Generation’ to the Queen Mother.” - Far Out More recently Roger Daltrey being interviewed on Brian Johnson's TV show said - "they think its about age but its about attitude".

I was part of that generation, and you must remember that our parents were the WWll generation, and lived very different lives. I had albums from the Everly Brothers, Gene Pitney, and other artists from the late 50's, and early 60's. I remember well watching the Beatles that Sunday night on Ed Sullivan. The music progressed rapidly during that time and content of a lot of music focused on the Vietnam war. Many British groups were invited to Woodstock, but all declined except the Who. Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues and many others were invited, but weren't into the "hippie" style lifestyle, because that was mainly an American thing. The Who were not sympathetic with any nonsense from the crowd at Woodstock. Woodstock was originally set up to accommodate 50,000 guests, and instead had close to 500,000. I remember when no one over 30 was to be trusted. The true hippies originated in San Francisco on Haight Ashbury Street in 1967, the summer of love. These were the original hippies, and as far as I am concerned they were the only hippies. All others were people who copied, or mimicked that lifestyle. Haight Ashbury was a good thing for a short period before too many people came in brought bad habits. Hippie is still a generic term used by many for anyone who is different, or doesn't like labels, or to fit nicely into societies boxes. I have always followed my own path and what makes me happy. As long as others are not harmed by my actions, or lifestyle. Peace ✌.

This song was recorded and released in 1965.....I was 2 years old! It may not seem like it, but one of the coolest things that happened, IMO, was during Live Aid in 1985 when the who played this song from Wembley Stadium in London, when they came to the part where Roger Daltry sings "Why don't you all just fade away", they lost the audio/video feed to the US....it was so rock and roll! It came back shortly after)

I would love to sit and watch Woodstock with the two of you. I'm 63, so was just a bit young for Woodstock, but I love your enthusiasm for the era!

1965 The Mods. Later, Pete Townsend’s Rock Opera Quadrophenia explores the Mod experience of post war alienation(mostly London and south England). The Who played at the first Rock Concert in the US - Monterey Pop 1967. They smashed all their instruments which shocked the peace and love hippies. I was there.

Growing up in the 70s, every album collection had The Who - Live at Leeds. Check out that 12-minute rendition of My Generation plus Young Man's Blues at ear-bleeding volume! The live version of Magic Bus is pretty awesome too. If you love GREAT bass, The Real Me on their album Quadrophenia may be the best bass track in rock history. I miss John Entwistle big time.

This song was actually 1965. Well ahead of their time. Have a listen to more of their 60s mod stuff.....like "I can see for Miles, "Substitute", "Pictures of Lily", "Can't Explain" etc.

The Civil Rights Act was updated in 1957, 1964,1965, and 1968. Most important generation for individual civil rights. Thats why the video shows British police arresting young people for literally doing nothing.

This song is from 1965, 4 years before Woodstock and a very different sound from their late 60s "Tommy" era sound. Music changed much more rapidly back then.

This is the studio version from 1965. There is a Woodstock version on KZfaq. But you should check out See Me Feel Me, also from Woodstock

The Who is one of my favorite bands of all time. I had tickets to the show in LA the day after John Entwhistle (the bassist) passed away, they went on with the show because they did they same after Keith Moon (the original drummer) passed and they felt he would've wanted it that way. Pete wrote a song about losing half of the band over the years. It is "Tea and Theater", such an AWESOME tribute to their mates. The best version is from JOOLS November of 2007. BAM, right in the feels. Keep up the great content guys! BOOMER!

Woodstock was '69. But "My Generation" came out in '66 or '67, as I recall. It was The Who's first big hit. I grew up in Kansas City, and right about this time when The Who was first bursting on the scene, they played a high school dance across town at Shawnee Mission South High School. I would have gone there, but my family moved from the Kansas side to the Missouri side of the metro area and I wound up in another school district. Funny thing is, The Who wasn't even the headline act at that high school dance. (Amazing, right?) The headline act was a band called The Buckinghams. You should check them out. You might try "Kind of A Drag" or "Hey Baby, They're Playing Our Song," or "Susan," or "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," or my favorite (which was the flip side of Mercy Mercy Mercy), "You Are Gone." They were awesome. But so was The Who. My favorite Who song is "Magic Bus," but if you listen, be sure to listen to the studio recording (not a live performance). Another really good one is "Behind Blue Eyes."

Early Who, one of the great rock bands. The stammering was a reference to "blues", the amphetamine of choice for kids going to dance halls in England. Their line up - Daltrey on vocals, Entwhistle on bass, Townshend on lead guitar (and he wrote their stuff) and Keith Moon on drums was one of the most talented of the time, up there with Zeppelin but coming from a very different place.
