The section where the subtitles say "Jerrald" is actually "Cello". This part of the song they wanted to have a Cello section but they didn't get their wish so they just mouthed the word Cello during that part. This is one of the best live performances ever.

This was allegedly the performance that caused The Rolling Stones to shelve the entire Rock N Roll Circus television special for decades, because they knew The Who had blown them off of the stage.

Keith's daughter Mandy Moon once said : "of all the crazy rockstars of the 60s, my father was the craziest"....

I love, how The Who still works. It's prototype rock music. You can still hear the 60's hippie sound in their vocal sets, driven to a sweaty, rocking absurdity, and really well-made composition and arrangement and actually good lyrics that are more than just some text to have something to perform. And yes, their live performances were just stunningly good. That they still make it work for new listeners after 45 years says everything about how good they were. Always nice to see you reacting to these classic pieces of rock music. The Who especially. Have a great week and all the best.

Organized chaos. Perfect explanation. This performance was from the Rolling Stones Rock and Roll circus. Lot's of great performances by Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, the super group dirty mac (with Eric Clapton, John lennon, Keith richards and mitch Mitchell and the stones

I never knew The Who could do such brilliant vocal harmonies! Thanks for sharing 🤗

Townsend didn't usually allow Moon to sing because he couldn't hold pitch. Moon was just miming in the intro. He had a lot of practice at doing that. The only exceptions that I'm aware of were "Bellboy" from the Quadrophenia album and some of their early surf rock covers e.g. "Bucket T". Keith was a massive surf rock fan.

Love the choice! This one doesn't get the attention it deserves. And definitely a precursor for what was soon to follow in their career. Great job!!!

This is from a one-off live show featuring, and to be filmed by the Rolling Stones called The Rock and Roll Circus in 1968. Other acts were Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithful and Jethro Tull, along with a "group" featuring John Lennon and Eric Clapton. The word is that the Rolling Stones were extremely pissed that they had to follow The Who after that amazing performance. The Stones did their best to be extra animated in their headlining performance, but most critics and fans agree The Who stole the show. And this song is hardly one of their more popular songs, but that just goes to show the power of The Who. Stacy you nailed it again! Your grasp of The Who as being great musicians, having amazing sometimes quirky songs, and stage presence for days....is spot on girl. I think this band has woken your 60's-70's soul.😀

Keith Moon definitely earned his nickname Moon the Loon. My favorite drummer

As a drummer, our band does this song, and we always end our sets with this song. First, it's one of the funnest songs to play, and second, it's most exhaustive.

Good reaction. You're smile will brighten most people days. Thank you.

In '75, I turned 18, graduated HS, and could buy beer. I saw Jaws in the theater and the "Frampton Comes Alive" tour in the summer, but the absolute highlight of the year was seeing The Who with Mooney in November. I've seen The Stones twice and Zep once, but that is still my favorite concert memory. Great year! I saw the Tommy tour twice in '89 and saw them once again in the early 2000s, before John passed. I liked Tommy, but Who's Next, Quadrophenia, and this tune, Naked Eye, is what turned me into a Who fan. Another 10 from Pete. (and some of his best lead playing) It's Kenny Jones on drums, not Mooney, but still great. Genius lyrics. The Who Naked Eye kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdeBdr1_vMexco0.html RIP Mooney and John. Thank You!

listen to their song "my wife" written by Entwhistle. from, I think the 1973 concert.

I've seem the Who about 7 times and they STILL give it their all. Probably the best live rock group of all time.

And now please The Who's "Young Man Blues" from the Isle of Wight festival

Wow, not an easy listening WHO composition and a harbinger of bigger and better huge concepts to come but man, no one else was doing this kind d of stuff back then. Never underestimate the songwriting of the master, Pete Townsend.. But their chops, enthusiasm and infectious energy suck you in! Stacey, at some point to hear their musical live jamming at its very peak, see them doing My Generation at the Isle of Wight concert, that song always morphed into an incredible jam, that show or Woodstock or Tanglewood from 69/70 are well worth viewing, they knock it out of the park every time! Lastly, their best live audio only live record is Live at Leeds, go with My Generation live there and be amazed! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶 Organized Chaos indeed!

After reading other comments - The Who, each saw themself as "the main instrument" - Pete with jumps, arm-wheels, singing, kicks - Roger started his microphone spin to compete, and with his strong voice, and for years his attire - Roger stands where he is, yet his Bass sounds like an airplane engine, his nickname "thunder fingers" _Keith, his wildness, (now, he would have likely been considered AD-HD behavior) yet his chaos in unique drum pattern, made him unique among drummers.

Wow, I haven't heard this one in Years!! Thank you... great choice!!!

Once again……, The greatest live Rock Band of all time. Bar none. Period! ❤

This album was the beginning of their concept era. Green Day did a surprisingly good cover of the song

This was my favorite song when I was a kid. You are awesome for reacting!

This was from the film/performance from the rolling stones rock and roll circus which featured the big British acts of the time.

Interesting fact that Keith Moons house (also where he passed away) was where Winnie the Pooh was written.

Live performances at Woodstock and Monterey Pop Festival are epic as well. Very influential to live performances for other groups and musicians.

oh Stacey, You and The Who on screen at the same time! makes me happy.

Filmed in 1968 for The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus, The Stones decided to shelve the project because they felt upstaged especially by The Who, Jethro Tull, and several of the other acts. It wasn't released on DVD until the mid 90s.

Cool reaction and I'm happy to see your channel growing because you truly deserve it :)

Check out more of their early hits: Magic Bus, I Can't Explain, My Generation, Substitute, Boris the Spider....

Keith sings "Bell Boy" on Quadrophenia.

A truly iconic performance ❤

The high point of their live performances. Lots of great stuff after but this is the one they should be remembered for.

A miracle!! The Who!!

They referred to this song as a mini rock opera. Townshend took a few different song ideas and combined them into one. At one point, when the song transfers from one part to another, their manager wanted them to incorporate a cello in the bridge, but instead of doing that, they all sing, "cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello, cello..."! I love that! This was from a film project called The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus, but the Rolling Stones shelved it because they didn't like their performance. It didn't air until decades later.

Hi Stacey, Nice reaction 😊. I would recomend a new song of David Gilmour together with his daughter, Romany Gilmour. David Gilmour - Between two points.

Pete Townshend once called this song "Tommy's Parents", which is not too far from the truth! It was the first "mini-opera" he ever composed and it paved the way for The Who's 1969 album, Tommy, which became known as the first Rock Opera.

Behind Blue Eyes...what a tune, A WHO classic.😊. Animal the drummer in the Muppets band is based on Keith Moon.🤪 Thin Lizzy's Bad Reputation you will love the harmonies on the guitars in some of their songs...yes harmonies on their guitars.. probably the first band to create their unique sound.

Hi Stacey greetings from England 🇬🇧 The Who have been going for 60yrs and Roger Daltrey is now 80yrs old and he is Touring The USA this year performing Who songs and songs from The Rock Opera Tommy!!! Pete Townsend is still writing and performing and sadly John Entwistle and Moon The Loon are gone but certainly not forgotten!!! You should check out The Who Song "MY GENERATION" and this is The Who at there absolute best and after 60yrs there music is still as good as ever.

From this same gig (in 1968) I recommend reacting to the Rolling Stones live performance of 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

You might look for "Bell Boy" - there may be a live version where Keith Moon sings part of the lead while sorta playing drums.

Mooney is the role idol for the drummer of the Muppet Show... 😂

Probably my favorite live performance ever. cheers,

You have to see whole concert the Rock and roll circus

Well, now you are educating me. I love The Who and have since a teenager in the 19 hundred and 80's, but I think this is the first time I have ever heard this song! Very fun! Thanks for introducing it to me!

The Who did a fair few 'light-hearted' tracks in their early days - Boris the Spider is stilla classic! :)

Keith Moon was one of the best Drummers in the World and the Model for The Animal, it was his Nick Name, for The Muppet Show. He was dying to soon. RIP Keith Moon. He was a Entairtaiment person and Crazy. 🙂 (Sorry for my Bad English, I'm from Germany)

there are hints of Tommy in here. It is amazing that Pete went from here to Tommy to Quadrophenia is watching an artist grow. but wait, there's more!

And with that, The Who stole the Rolling Stones' own show.

I can think of 3 times when I've heard Keith Moon "sing". He actually wrote a song called Wasp Man that he sings. Not surprisingly, it's a very strange song. He sang in the movie version of Tommy. He plays Tommy's wicked Uncle Ernie who molests him. Definitely a part for a "character" actor. You can also hear him sing in the incredible documentary movie, The Kids Are Alright, which is a must watch for any fan of The Who. Before joining The Who, believe it or not, Keith Moon was in a surfer band called The Beachcombers. So in The Kids Are Alright movie, there's a scene from when the band was in the studio fooling around, and they start to play Barbara Ann, which Keith sings because he knew the song from when The Beachcombers used to perform it.

John the ox was a wild man off stage. He and keith used to really annoy roger as they would be running riot instead of being professional.

A Great live performance on video is from Tanglewood MA, 1970, they were at theyre peak during this time.

Join Together ❤️ The album Quadrophenia is a masterpiece!!

This whole concert is great!

The Rolling Stones, Hendrix’s drummer (Mitch Mitchell) Eric Clapton and John Lennon were there to witness this. Keith Richards, Clapton, Lennon and Mitchell would also perform onstage for this special as The Dirty Mac.

If you wanna see more of Moonie er.. singing, see them performing Bell Boy from the Charlton Athletic gig. Really good.

Funny story I once heard about Keith Moon's eccentricity: The Who were on tour one time, and they had just packed up and began leaving the hotel they were staying at. Just as their limo had left the property, Keith started to slightly panic and asked to go back to the hotel to take care of something. Soon as they pulled up front, Keith got out said he would only take a minute or two and ran into the hotel... About five or so minutes later, Keith came out of the hotel walking calmly, climbed back into the limo, and said "Right, drive on". As they were going again, Pete Townshend turned to him and asked "why were you so desperate to go back into the hotel?"; to which Moon replied "oh, I had forgotten to smash in the room's TV."

Where did dig this one up, am a long time fan of the Who, but I can remember hearing this before? wow 🤔 😜

Keith is featured singing on Bell Boy. There is a great live performance from 74.

The "cello, cello, cello" singing part was done that way b/c when they recorded the song in the studio a year before this, they couldn't afford to hire a cellist to play those notes. Those notes sound better sung than they would on cello, so everything worked out better in the end. 😂🙃

Best band in the world love there music and all and also I saw them at Hollywood bowl 2000

Greatest band ever. A force of nature.

Sweet and creepy simultaneously, with The Little girl guide and Ivar the Engine Driver... 🥴 Epic performance!

Keith sings on Bell Boy from Quadrophenia

Thanks for reviewing this. One of my fav performance.

The darn shame of most of the awesome Who videos out there is they don’t show the greatest bass player in the world enough!!!

The Bloody WHO! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

The Who, one of my favorite bands ever since WHO’s Next came out in 1973. Please do a reaction to Behind Blue Eyes

"Moony" , my favorite drummer all around the world !

best music .. wonderful immersive reaction.

Not sure whether to call it an homage or a lampoon, but they were pretty much doing a reference story in multiple parts to other previous or contemporary bands back in the day: 1: stylings of Bob Dylan and a band called The Band 2: beating down the Beatles 3: burning the Beach Boys, Surfaris, and general California movie music 4: and smashing through the Four Seasons

One of the greatest live rock bands of all time.

Keith Moon sings bell boy on The Who Quadrophenia good album

Besides being one of the greatest bass players, always enjoyed Entwistle falsetto.

Thanks Stace, ❤

Right before Tommy was produced and released. Stories told in that one.

Mom the loon and Thunderfingers Entwhistle . RIP you geniuses.

For some more seeing the band reacting to each other try the Shepperton Studio version of “Who are you?” Well worth it just for Keith Moon!

Oh, what fun!

Keith Moon is a drumming genius. You should do Who are You. The drumming in that song is AMAZING!! Please do a reaction to the Foo Fighters though. Everlong or The Pretender pretty please! If you haven't heard them already, I promise you won't be disappointed.

If you want to listen to more of the who from the early years. Listen to young man blouse from Live at leeds.Keith Moon also known as loon the moon. Is the inspiration they took when they made Animal in The Muppet show. John is as always doing his own thing on this. Jamming on his bass, cool as ever. Pete has said it was him who kept the band together on stage. If it wasn´t for him it would have been complete chaos

« Hi hi hi hi ! » ⇒ song validated

Baba O'reiley next please, absolute favourite The Who song

Blimey - this is a new track for 1960 born me! Love the energy and yes, Stacey, it's on the saucy side in a very British way.

Keith moon was the inspiration for Animal The drummer in the muppet band For obvious reasons

The Kids are Alright, to me their greatest track....song for a generation

Bob Dylan - License to Kill🙄🙄🙄

Drummers can get a big sponge saturated with water that when they hit like a drum the water spray cools them down .

Join Together / Relay

There will never be a band like The Who they were the best live band ever it`s not even close and that`s coming from somebody who saw them all.

You should give Jeff Buckley a listen, If you haven't already. His live performances are incredible and worth every second.

First time I saw them, Moon passed out, and they had to finish with a drummer out of the crowd.

Find an early live performance of Anyway Anyhow Anywhere and watch the chaos. It has to be the inspiration for Punk rock!

Another band with a big theatrical performance is Styx. They aren't quite as chaotic, but about as physically energetic and full of character, essentially acting out the songs, running around the stage, very interactive with the audience, really putting on a show of shows.

This version cuts out some of Keiths craziest bits in this song. It's edited differently in the Kids DVD.

When you see Keith earlier career performance like this or anything from the Isle of Wight (1970), it's clear he was not the same performer at the Shepperton Studios vids. I'll echo others recommendation for Young Man Blues from 1970 @ the Isle of Wight.

If you like physical energy in a performance you’ll have to check out David Byrne of Talking Heads!!!!

Good job xoxo

That water on the drumkit came from Keith's forehead.

Keith is just fantastic on this.

Here's a link to Keith singing straight - without playing a character - a Jan and Dean cover, Bucket T, which went to Number 1 in the Swedish charts in 1967!: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/abaKhtOeprHcho0.htmlsi=zTEns34Lv0xqj3of
