One of Keith Moon's finest performances on drums in a live show. He attacks the drums and on headphones it sounds like they are coming after you! Insanely great.

It's from their 1969 album, "Tommy", which is a rock opera. It wasn't made into a movie until 1975.

The Who went on late, really late, at Woodstock, so late they were playing these songs when the sun rose. Live at Leeds is a classic Who album. I used to listen to it all the time when I was a teenager. Check out "Magic Bus" too.

In this concert i recommend you: young man blues, magic bus and my generation

its hard to understand this cut without the whole context of the rock opera Tommy, when you can listen to the whole album

Love to see people finally reacting to some of the greatest live music ever. The raw power and energy The Who played with during their live performances was EPIC. Check out My Generation from this same album for another Amazing Journey. It's a 15 minute medley of songs mostly from the Tommy album, on a night when they were at their best.

I can listen to Sparks all day long.

I liked Tommy, but Quadrophenia (and the tune, Naked Eye) is what turned me into a Who fan. 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. Great year, and my all time #1 concert memory. I saw the Tommy tour twice in '89 and saw them once again in the early 2000s, before John passed. RIP Mooney and John. Thank You!

one of my all time pieces of music.

This is from what for decades was widely regarded as the greatest rock concert ever performed.. lots of time has passed now since so it might not so exclusively apply but in my opinion it's still up there.

'Amazing Journey' resonates most powerfully on the Tommy movie soundtrack. It gives you the full impact of the music, as well as the lyrics in the context of the overall story.

I saw the Who multiple times in their prime from their first US tour on a Murray the K hosted show to an appearance at Georgetown U. They killed it every time and "Live at Leeds" is one of the greatest live rock albums of all time. Four guys making amazing music. Not a weak link among them.

This was performed and recorded on Feb 14, 1970.

It's from the album Tommy. The album came out 6 years before the movie. They toured the album, playing it almost in It's entirety throughout 1969-70. The movie is the last option to take if you want to experience Tommy in It's original context. The original album. Then the Live At Leeds version. Then the movie. If you have to. The Who don't perform all the music for the film either.

This recording is from Live at Leeds, Feb. 14, 1970 at Leeds University Leeds, UK.

Love this album. Even the chatter between the songs.

Excellent pick!

Without a doubt, one of my favorite live albums. They don't sacrifice the material with their explosive playing. Oh, and yes, they did, in fact blow the roof off the mother that night. Great upload.

Excellent song!!

Yayyyyy, excepts from "Tommy" by The Who 😊 I would beg of you to try the "Overture" from the same album. I don't imagine you've ever heard an instrumental such as that, it's a MASTERPIECE of musicianship. 😇😁🌹 Ps....try the studio album version. 😇

That 90s re-release of Live at Leeds is incredible. Really captures The Who as their best

Yes this is from their rock opera 'Tommy'. Don't often get to hear this nowadays. A good track but best to hear it in the whole concept album I think-Colin Ward

I hear the Lovely and unmistakable Les Paul sound coming from the guitar.Rich and vibrant tones from the sweet Gibson pickups.

Greatest Rock Band Ever

A great instrumental and a part of Tommy, the Live at Leeds album, is one of the best albums of that era, live or studio, great performance. It is now in much expanded format and is a audio moment in time that Is one of their very best. Pete Townsend was lethal with a Gibson SG guitar in his hands in those days, you can see visual evidence of their incredible musicianship in 69/70 at Woodstock, Tanglewood and the Isle of Wight concerts, incredible footage of one of Rock's best bands ever! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎹🎶

Guitars is cooking on this one

Hey Angela...love the channel. You said Olivia Newton John was genuine and authentic when you reviewed "I Honestly Love You." I can say the same about you. You are also very genuine and authentic. So, thanks a lot! Ok, here are a few songs I think you would enjoy and would like to see you react to: Cruel To Be Kind (NIck Lowe) Take it on the Run (REO Speedwagon) Do you believe in Love (Huey Lewis and the News) Jump (Van Halen) I want you back (Jackson 5) Texas Flood (Stevie Ray Vaughn) I know how he feels (Reba McEntire) You'll be in my heart (Phil Collins) Love in the first degree (Alabama) Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) (Journey) Sharp Dressed Man (ZZ Top) Simple Man (Lyrnyrd Skynyrd)

Lots of old rock fans here. Pivot on this one if you will to change the vibe a little 'Don't ask my neighbors' BY Emotions

The greatest live band of all time.

Pete Townsend on guitar. He wrote almost all of their songs. This is a great live album. What you don’t get is the visuals. As great to watch as to listen to. Tommy the album came first. Then the movie. It’s also been done as a play. The movie is a bit strange but still good. Roger plays the lead character, Tommy.

Angela, as others have noted below, this live performance was excerpted from The Who's rock opera album, "Tommy." This was years before the movie. Listen to the entire "Tommy" album. The movie is not worth watching. Pete Townshend is the lead guitarist and songwriter; John Entwhistle is the extraordinary bass player.

I'm quite surprised you reacted to this. For me, The Kinks were the first rock band. The Who became thee rock band and the first punk band. Sparks is fantastic.

Watch them play this live at Woodstock. They're incredible to watch on stage! This is from the album, Tommy, which came out years before the movie. It was called a "rock opera" about a boy who was traumatized when he witnessed the murder of his father. The movie is actually kind of weird. It could have been better, but it does have it's own charms, and you do get to see some interesting performances from other stars such as Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Elton John and Jack Nicholson among others. The Who is such an incredible live band though, I'd rather watch them perform their music on stage than watch a dumb movie with actors who have questionable singing abilities.

This is not the new Beyonce or Megan or Cardi. This the WHOOOO. Just fantastic.

ITs THEWHO‼❓💯💯💯

this is from their live album from 1970 this is not a soundtrack to the Tommy film. 2 separate entities

hi, this was from a 1970 performance.

I was attending UCSD when Peter Townshend and Des McAnuff were formulating planning plotting how to turn The Who’s rock opera Tommy 1969 into a Broadway musicall. All this took place at The La Jolla playhouse on the campus of UCSD. Anyhow after the trial run in San Diego ,they took it to Broadway where it won The Tony for Best Musical. They took it to London also. The Who played most of Tommy at Woodstock,August 1969 and as Roger sang out SeeMe Feel me “. he said the sun was coming up over the hill. The Who played Tommy in its entirety at the Fillmore West,Filmore east and even The Metropolitan Opera House. When the documentary of Woodstock was released Tommy went back to number 1 In The UK. Pete Townshend has said many times ‘“ every time time we( The Who) we’re ready to put Tommy behind us,our fans wouldn’t let us. Another production of Tommy is about to open. Not sure if it’s London or New York. ??

Canal nostálgico 👏👏👏

You can't go wrong with the Who. This is from Tommy.

My favorite song by them is Behind Blue Eyes! I've never heard this one before! Later and until Friday! Oh yeah, before I forget! Another suggestion! Can you react to Paul Young singing Come Back And Stay? It's a pretty mystical and enigmatic song! There are a couple of versions of the video to this song that are really cool! So cool they're 🔥 fire! Bye groovy people!

Pete Townsend is the lead guitarist, the late John "The Ox" Entwistle is the bass guitarist 😁✌️☺️

This and other songs sound great in the movie Almost Famous. If you haven't seen it, it's a good watch

"LIVE at LEEDS" is the best Live album of all time.....OK tied with Allman Bros "Live at the Fillmore"

Definitely some Hendrix-influenced guitar sounds here!

Peak rock recorded live in the wild.

Keith=Dynamo.

the movie tommy is free on youtube right now..weird movie tho

I suggest you review Rasputin by Boney M. Find the video from the 1979 Sopot festival.

Not the best performance of those songs I heard from them - but still great fun. The drums are very forward mixed in this - but probably not as tight as some of the versions I've heard - a few more flubs.

Not released in 1969. Recorded live February 14, 1970, & released several months later. The original studio version was released in 1969, on the Tommy album. No, not from the movie; Tommy wasn't made into a movie until 1975. The guitarist is Pete Townshend, the bassist is John Entwistle, the drummer is Keith Moon. And the original 1969 studio album is way better than the soundtrack album from 1975; & Live At Leeds is better than either of them.

One guitar player.. only one… Pete Townsend

I saw The Who in 1982 and '89, but of course Keith Moon had died in '78. So guess I really didn't see The Who....but you sure hear him on this 😎

Who but the Who could've been the Who?

How many Likes to this comment until Day One reacts to Tommy the movie

ONLY 3 GUYS PLAYING???

TOMMY was a great Double Live Rock Opera ALBUM before it was turned into a somewhat lame move

Please don’t ever see the movie- it’s an abomination compared to the original double-album rock opera album (not the soundtrack to the movie!)
