I must admit, this has to be one of Townshend's best works. It captures the blues so well but at the same time you can tell it's The Who. Love this song.

When Daltrey opens up on vocals, it’s a revelation. The guy was one of the great rock singers of all time.

Moon is the sonic equivalent of heavy artillery

Absolutely the greatest live band ever.

Meanwhile, John Entwistle lurks in the shadows, observing the show as his fingers do all the work.

Cream, Hendrix and The Who getting it done at the highest level. Will never see powerhouse acts like these again.

Best live band of all time. No one touches them

That fill at the beginning of the song has got to be the single deciding factor that makes Keith Moon my favorite drummer.

White jumpsuit + SG special = best Who era.

Each one a real character - and they fit perfectly together...

Daltrey... The power he had at that age was incredible.

This band deserves much more recognition.

This is Keith at his best....unpredictable, showman, playing the melody. At first you think he is all over the place, but if you really hear it he is holding it all together

This performance is incredible. The Who were the greatest live band of all time, and will never be touched.

2:27.. Keith charging up is epic.. you know you're in for a ride.

Petes guitar sounds beautiful, best I've ever heard him play. Keith is in another dimension. Incredible

The Who is the band every other band has tried to imitate since the late 60s. When you think of the exemplar of a "rock band", you think of the Who: A super talented and musical genius lead guitarist, a steady-as-a-rock bassist, a completely wild and dominating drummer, and a lead singer who blasts out vocals and struts like a rooster. They had every element, and they had it first. No other band had all of these together until the Who. Not to mention they had the best lead, the best bassist, the best drummer all together in one band. Sometimes, you get bands with one or two of these elements, but they had all four together. Plus, they'd split your head open with their volume.

i know Pete was far from the best technical guitarist of all time but the raw power and intensity that he plays with blows my mind. Enough so that I named my son after him!

I use to work for a roofing company and met a man who use to be Rodger Daltreys personal assistant. Their still best friends and he got Rodger to sign my Isle Of Wight Festival record.

Avec des vidéos de ce genre Les Who sont éternels ! Keith Moon le batteur fou, Daltrey la voix des anges, Entwistle, rigide dans son squelette, Townsend, le pompiste de service ! Intemporel chevaliers du Rock !!! God bless The Who !

Holy Christ this is incredible.

Hall of Fame performance. The Who one of the all-time greats.

Isle of wight 1970 is my favorite live performce from the who. a lot of people say live at leeds and rock n roll circus they seem to forget this one!!

Keith Moon hands down the greatest rock drummer ever

Even in a throwaway song, giving it their all. What a strange band.

I think this is the best performance from Keith Moon that I've been able to find online. His fills are incredibly quick and diverse. He changes time and direction at the tip of a hat but keeps the rhythm going. He even tones himself down at times when his bandmates are shining. He rocks.

11:13 Keith yelling into his tom mic lmao

One of the best songs to listen to when you're running. I've finished marathons listening to The Who.

Keith and Pete have such English senses of humor.

Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes. Been a Who fan and Moonie fan since 1965 and this is the best footage of Keith and the whole band I've seen yet. In their prime and at the top of their game.

Daltrey voice is splendid. The who rocks the whole damn place,man.

Greatest rhythm section in rock n roll history

By the way Keith is adorable

I can't love The Who more. What an incredible experience.

In order to enjoy listening to the Who, you have to WATCH them play, as well as listen. Greatest live performance of their career.

The Who lucky band... They had the best drummer, the best bassist and have one of the best guitarist. Good Singer.

Keith moon so crazy !! The best performance ever !!! So great 🤤🤤🤤

Has there ever been a drummer more talented or had more fun doing his thing? Love Keith!

Best Bassist Ever

Lest anyone doubt the genius of Keith!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fuerza Elegancia Dominio Genio. Todos tenemos gustos diferentes, pero tengo claro que solo hay un The Who. Ninguna banda, orquesta o forma musical ha tocado mi alma. TheWho si.

Townsend is such a savage, that cutting commentary followed buy that ripping playing....and Moon didn't even miss a break.

When Roger sings, the hair on the back of your neck go up, and Moon? Well, there are no words, he was definitely one of a kind. That stick went 10 feet up in the air and landed in his hands perfectly.

Did you notice how explosive Keith Moon was hiting those Premier drums ? Roger Daltrey has such a fine voice.

Love this live. Keith winding up to start gets me every time. 😉

Keith Moon catching that drumstick was cool)

what bloody legends !

Keith Moon, no hi -hats. What an awesome drummer! Unbelievable man!!!

the most enigmatic,powerful,explosive,legendary,coolest band ever,The Who!!!

Such a weird song, but great! And Roger Daltrey looks like a superior species of human-god. Pretty sure not too many daughters in the audience would have said 'no' to him either.

Pete's guitar 🎸 work, brings tears to my eyes

2:14 and 2:26 just blow me away. The way he waits to make the gentle splash then looks around for the reaction/at his bandmates for the next part, and the way he waits for when the drums kick in and sucks in his breath and goes wild on the drums. Keith Moon was one of a kind and in my mind, the definition/ideal of a rock drummer. He had everything, and he was all about his playing. He gave everything to it. Someday, there will be a band as good as The Who, but there will never be another Who. One a kind, never to be replicated, undefinably beautiful band who made some of the best music to ever grace our ears.

The man at the equipment hire shop on the Monday morning, "what the fxxk happened to these drums? Did the truck have an accident? No Keith moon happened to them

The Who were the best live! Keith will always be my all time fav drummer❤

Great Live band...enough said!!!!!

This whole concert is great

The who is one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Easily top 5 in my book!

The who is so underrated. They were one of the bands that started the rock n roll revolution they put rock music on the map pretty much!! They deserve more recognition!!

When Moon hit them drums at the start it gave me some fucked up goose bumps. Yeahhhhhhh....

I'm 75 and still enjoying drugs as I hear this song I also eat lettuce.

Water wasn’t the first song I ever heard from The Who, that would be Baba O’Riley but it was the song that made me fall in love with them. It just grabbed me by the heart and never let go! Masterpiece and it doesn’t rank in The Who’s top 30 songs. These guy’s were fucking genius!

I notice this has got one thumbs down, shame on you!! Long live Rock!!

I'm beginning to blister too... Anyone who says Pete can't play lead oughta hear this.

At 5:13, Keith attempts to flip his right drumstick, loses the left drumstick in the process, catches the right drumstick with his left hand, quickly transfers it to his right, hits the right hand crash the floor toms and the right hand crash again, and with his left hand retrieves a new stick. Flawless.

I have a feeling that if his drum kit hadn't gotten in the way, Keith would have smashed through the stage.

Esse baterista nunca existirá um igual ou parecido ,esse cara e um ícone sou fã d carteirinha , q banda q marca

I love ThE WHo, and to me they are so important in rock as Zeppelin or Sabbath or Purple

The Who in their peak, and smashed all the other groups that night!!! Epic!!!

When the Who put their game faces on...they'd break your bones with serious Rock n roll

I’m sure glad that I found this great piece of work. I could watch these guys play all day long

It's true what he said about Philadelphia. Us Philadelphians pronounce water as "wooder."

1:05 I can't stop watching this.... I Love Moon

Pete was so gorgeous in the 70s

Keith's perfomance is unbelievable.. Is like prime R9 playing football before his injuries.. Genius!

Amazing and great performance ... What a strong way to make rock music

I was there , great days ✌❤

The Who are often passed up over Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, even Cream, but they played so much more loosely. All are to be enjoyed, but The Who was hard blues based alt rock before such a term existed and it’s in the live performances that it shines through. In addition Keith Moon did not like to solo yet his Goldfish is the bomb-so concentrated.

wow, im from philly and Roger is right, that's how we say it

Beautiful close ups of Roger,Pete and Keith,but as usual the camera person is ignoring John.He is even wearing that weird skeleton suit to somehow not be ignored by the film photographer! So this film could be improved upon by including more glimpses of John!

They look so free 😮

i love the way keith moon plays the drums. i love this gUy. l.

Selvaggiamente perfetti. Incredibile notare nello stile, nel look e nelle movenze di keith moon alcuni dettagli assolutamente contemoporanei.

Incredible, thanxs from Brazil, valeu!!!

The foreman over there hates the gang The poor people on the porch get it so rough The truck driver drives like a devil The policemen - they're acting so tough They need water Good, good water We need water And I'm sure there ain't one of us here Who'd say, "no" to somebody's daughter (No... no.... no... no... no...) Sampson seems sorta sweaty The draftsmen- they smudged their work The captain of a ship is swimming Then just wore off a keen bank clerk We need water Good, good water We need water And maybe somebody's daughter C'mon, gimme good water C'mon, gimme good water C'mon, gimme good water Please don't refuse me, mister I've seen your daughter at the oasis And I'm beginning to blister A Chevrolet just made steam Your crop is laying foul My grass skirt's lost its green I'm alive, but I don't know how We need water Good, good water We need water And maybe somebody's daughter Gimme good water Indian Lake is burnin' New York's skyline is hazy The River Thames is turnin' dry The whole world is a-blazin' We need water Good, good water We need water And maybe somebody's daughter Ah, gimme what I need Please, water, water, water, water, water, water Gimme water Water Water (Water...) And I'm sure there ain't one of us here Who'd say "no" to somebody's daughter (Oh, no) Whoa... No, no, no, no, no... No, whoa

I saw The Who for the first time in concert in July 1970, about a month before this performance. They were my favorite live band.

I S M E L L F E E T

Such Joy & *Heart* in this band. And Keith at 2:31!

keith was a fantastic drummer,so fucking cool!

The SG special remains the guitar by which Pete remains so identifiable. Its just too bad that Gibson ceased its production. Ditto for the Hiwatt DR103 that were top notch for sound and quality. I would love to see Pete play a show using vintage gear, with respect!

An amazing DVD, bought it years a go. Thanks for posting this great performance.

Best opening song ever

8 : 35. l'apice del rock , esplosione di PERFEZIONE e FORZA ed EPICA BELLEZZA !!!! una delle migliori cose ch'io abbia ascoltato😯😯😯😯😯😯😯

You and I can argue for days and days on several points on who is the greatest musician or on whom has the best solo. It will never reach a point to satisfy each other. I can tell you this some things can move you or it won't. I was never there, but some things move me. I appreciate something that moves me. I never thought a song could ever move me like this song in a way that could captivate me , keep me intrigued and forever change me. It's a life changing experience that I will never forget. Btw I never been to concert.

1 of my favorite DVD's, thanks for posting this moving song!

The Who is second only to the Beatles. I have seen the Beatles and the early Who 3 times. Terrific I played Premier drums like Keith Moon. TD Atlanta

Verrückteste Band ever! Greetings from Hamburg Germany

Stick flip at 5:13 Amazing! Without missing a beat

Moon's playing was a total insanity that made complete sense..

This should have 5 million views.

Saw this concert film in the late '90s in a movie theater in NYC and was struck by the thought that it was not only the best concert film ever, but that the Who of that vintage were probably rock's best-ever live band. Pretty sure I was right.
