It must have been film used for movies and stuff. A lot of old Beatles music videos have been remastered to look almost like this since they were using 35mm film if I'm remembering correctly.

I thought it was too

@@thatmatt41 *film not tape

Wow..what an awesome drummer!

radar200 yeah he's pretty good...

He was like a child but very loving man, he had moments of clarity lol

They WERE very much like brothers in a dysfunctional family. They loved each other . And stayed together for the sake of the music. 🎶🎶🎶❤️❤️❤️

Keith's had a good line and riding the emotion and music

@Joe Kinchicken fuck off

He was such an amazing natural on the drums. Throw in pure thunder from Entwistle and the power cords and riffs from Townshend it was musical magic...top it off with one of the most powerful set of pipes from Daltrey...wow just wow.

Yes, so very tragic, my favorite too

Unfortunately he loved drugs more :(

I was 6 when I saw Top of the Pops and Keith bashing the hell out of his drum kit on "I Can See For Miles" No other drummer was like that-they just gently tapped the skins and cymbals a bit-but Keith Moon?!!? I'd bash the hell out of anything I could improvise as a drum kit-drove the parents mad !! And in later years I realised how extraordinary and ground breakingly excellent Keith Moon's drumming was on that track to name but one and how there is no comparison to it anywhere

Reading about what happened to him, that sucks

Absolutely...mind too...Talk about t a drum attack

It will be a part of mine, that's for sure!❤

Well said, what a little gem 😎👍

Thank you!

and they were having fun making the music

Joe is a pretty cool dude.

@@doolally1478 a dang funny guy too. has been called "the clown prince of rock". i swear i even hear an element of humor in his playing.

What a great quote!! 😂

There is also a bunch of Alice Cooper interviews where he talks about Keith Moon.

The drunkenness, the wanton lifestyle, and death within a couple of months...

What is it about drumming that makes drummers make funny faces?

@@KnoppersBomber Its not just drummers, a lot of musicians do that while playing if you watch. Drummers do seem to be the most noticeable though which is interesting

Robert was always fighting w the other 3 and they never hung out outside off stage. The Who are famous for on stage fights

You can't help but notice he's got his headphones duct taped to his head, probably to keep them from flying off!!

Hahahaha

.. and Keith :D

What a great comment unreal video

I am me

Yup. Excellence in video and audio.

It’s surreal to see a clear mint condition film from 1978 featuring 2 legends no longer on this earth in John Entwistle and Keith Moon.

Ouch when those come off lol

It hides the staples

@@silevesileve6279 and that would be more painful

Fuckn A right!

Then there's Moon and Bonham.

....what about the greatest all around rock songwriter/musician? The GOAT.

Brilliant ❤

@@Arturo-sm1tb Pete was truly one of the greatest. He was so ahead of his time Lighthouse made everyone say, "wut?" Tommy and Quadrophenia were going to be just the beginning. But it was not to be.

Who was it that coined that?? They all four played lead. Was it Eddie V?

I wonder if they were originally four regular great rockers, and then an evil wizard came and put a curse on John and Keith so that all of Johns energy and enthusiasm ended up in Keith. That's the only explanation I can come up with. Or perhaps Keith simply liked uppers while John liked downers?

@Jack SPRY moon was better

1978 What a year Some say the late 70s was just DISCO Bull sh

I believe this video was filmed in May 78? About 4 months before Moon's death!

@@ianblack7006 if I recall correctly, amphetamines were his drug of choice.

I think it was his secret mission to beat the living crap out of the drums, every time. And he did his job better than anyone else.

Me too. Always liked them but their vibe has bitten deep the last year or two.

@@ianbeauchamp9944 wow I sure want you to elaborate on that.

@@joeysplats3209 I ve always had a copy of Quadrophenia since being a teenager and an anthology. I always thought Quadrophenia was fantastic and some of their singles blew me away. I was kind of happy with that until I watched a documentary. Then I started to dig into their back catalogue n am now they're pretty much my favourite band. I can't figure out why I didn't do it sooner. Can't get enough of them

Makes no sense to me…to each their own. I don’t have to make excuses to appreciate the pure brilliance this band created

I am with you in this one.

Yeah, best moment of the clip.

actually they where good companions, John was behind Keith shoulders on most of the wrecked hotel rooms, let's say 'giving the lighter'

Most amazing drummer ever.

Yes!

This man was 100% Rock 'n roll. He used gaffa tape the way the sound crew does, for literally EVERYTHING.

John tried to keep Keith on the straight and narrow

The man had to Duct Tape his earphones in place, because he was so animated he could knock them off. He was a force of nature

I hadn't paid much attention to the video the first several hundred times I listened to this song, but OMG Keith was a fruitcake. So many giggles and facial expressions! And somehow, he found the time to drum and sing ...

@@spencerdawkins these are the people that give hope in the darkness of our existence. Their light shines bright so that we may see the path. Do not squander their gift to us. Their time is always short. So ask yourself, who the eff are you?

@@barrettsfraser maybe millimeters

He's the best drummer in Kieth Moons' style.

Indeed. So tragic that he was gone less than a year after this amazing studio video.

bostonwhofan Within months. Video was made in 78, same year he passed.

Wasn't he at his absolute worst around the time they shot this?

@@carllaitenberger9984 yep he was

@@carllaitenberger9984 yeah.. he'd gained so much weight he barely had the stamina to play. And he was sloppy

I like 'Soho hole' better. Roger probably said this a few times. I lived the Tubes life for a few days, it is bazaar still. In the language here, I found myself asking if the dead on the underground trains were asking Who they were - silently going to work and drunken revelry hour later. From the US, I certainly wondered looking at them and myself just Who we are.

The eye of the hurricane.

God loves Thunder fingers

Aren't they just! I find myself making the faces back at the screen as I watch. What a shooting star.🌠

Moon the Loon!

The only thing Moonie enjoyed more than cracking up Entwhistle is pounding the absolute fucking shit out of his kit.

@@PBDrives ...and nobody could do either any better!

@@questioneverything-rf3yf absolutely!! I do the same thing. He definitely made his kit an accompanying piece instead of a time keeping instrument. His drumming matched vocals and guitar perfectly. An absolute maniac in the best possible way.

love the song, but it's just YOUR top 3

I would give anything to go back to that time

How mad have things gotten in the world, where ‘Moon the Loon’ is a benchmark for when things weren’t as insane?! Sad how much things have spiralled downwards since then.

Taping headphones to your head is pretty insane, ...jus sayin...

I never got to see any time like that in my life it's been constant chaos beamed directly into my eyes and ears for the past 23 years

AND YOU KNOW THIS HOW????????????

@@bobcalegari5356 FROM BOOKS I'VE READ ABOUT THEM OVER THE LAST 30 OR SO YEARS!!!!!!......ALRIGHT???????????

I am sure that is absolutely true. A true bass player all respect

John Entwhistle was too busy holding the songs together with his wall of sound to be able to showboat, he was, in my opinion, a far greater loss to the group than Keith Moon was, and that says it all.

My two favorite songs ❤

Its funny how John and Keith where just complete opposites though when it comes to personality.

@@dylanschofield8067 When keith , passed away , and you spent time with john and he had a few ,. brandies , he loved to talk about good times with him and how he missed him so much and the laughter he brought into his life !

In a documentary about The Who I saw a while ago, Pete said why it was not the same with Kenny Jones: because every time he turned around, the person who was the heart of the band, the man who inspired him, his friend, he was not there. And Pete's face said it all, after such a long time, the pain and memories were there, intact...

You can tell that Keith and John had a real connection...even beyond music.

Bass and drums.

Debatable…. A good showman that played up to his image…. There is another guy called John Henry Bonham who technically takes the accolade of the greatest ‘rock’ drummer ever…. he is also 6ft under now 🙏

John Bonham was brilliant! There’s no denying that. I’ve just always been more partial to Moon and his zany antics!

This song sounds like the rest of The Who walked through Keith's mind for inspiration.

Oh sure, meanwhile I thinking Ann Margret writhing in baked beans.

Who are you really? This a question that remains unanswered as I know you are more than just a person who pumps out SPAM! Let's unlock the box, and see what is really inside deep down. #Pain #regret #bitterness #loathing #jelousy #longingforlove #trapped #stuck #catinthehat

Ironically enough, the Who are known for their poor working relationship and not being able to stand each other

​@@broddajanes6910that's actually true for a lot of musical groups. They have to pretend to get along, while performing, for the fans.

I hope they already play together...just waiting for Roger and Pete to give The Angels a true heavenly show!!!

Yes, Return If Possible. True talent

The boys looked as if they had a right laugh 😆 doing this recording!! Keith moon and John entwistle may you both rest in peace and hope roger and Pete are friends now after falling out 👍

Sadly, He loved Drinking even more.

Tha does not take away from Mooney's drum playing.

@@iblacka1 Except that it shortened his career and took him away from us too soon. Much like Bonham.

They get my vote too

He’s also probably the only musician to need gaffer tape to keep his cans on!

@@stringcus what is "gaffer tape"?

@@bigsky3072 It's another term for duct tape.

WHAT!!!!! you mean to tell me he's trumping Mick Fleetwood ? 😅

Stage name for Duct tape

It's also painfully sad to watch as Keith Moon had just four months left on Earth.

John Bonham

It was tradghic , he definately nails it home. 🙄

Bonham and Moon both died at 32 same year i think too

Paul Stewart - Get a fucking grip, lad. Crying lol, wtf.

Know what you mean. The Who was the music of my coming of age. Awesome.

Overdose on barbiturates.. his doctor gave them to him to help him withdraw from alcohol. They said he had about 28 undesolved capsules in his stomach after he died.

The way he lived his life it's amazing he made it that far!

I’m surprised he lived that long rip❤

That’s probably his last appearance with the who

@@ernestpassaro9663 yup, he died about 4 months after that. After that, THE WHO never seemed to be able to play that song well live. In my opinion, it's because they did not have the energy without Keith. Just my opinion.

I've watched it more times than I can count and it's awesome every time!

The power house of the band and they could have gone to led zepplin.

ben llech whats the story behind that? A quick google turned up Plant offering to be lead singer for The Who when Daltry briefly left the band, but nothing on the opposite.

@@Scottlp2 hi bud i read it in an anthology but i have passed the book on,but i can ask planty next time i see him at the wolves ground, the who's manager was a bit of a force to be reckoned with

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU!!??

I have the same feeling

@@MrWierchawsky s i m p

Roger had a lovely head of hair then

Exactly. Got to love Keith 🎉😂

From what I’ve seen of other stuff around this time, he had lost it a bit. This particular performance is an exception, as it was probably a bit easier to manage him in a studio setting, but he definitely wasn’t the powerhouse he was in the late 60’s-early 70’s. To me he is the best and most unique drummer ever to pick up sticks, but the drugs and perhaps everyone telling him how great he was had started to diminish him as a player by this point.

He was in poor health and drumming, especially the way he drummed was very physical.

Iuv Keith Moon

Unfortunately, Moon died a few weeks after this session.

@@johnsphar4616 September 7, 1978

@@adderon7476 LOL! I wouldn't doubt it.

"Best Drummer ever“... I can't see John Bonham in that video...?

I don't think John was in the Who .

Not "one of". The best. The best Drummer. The best Guitarist. The best bassist. The ONLY band that came close was The Clash. Why do you think they opened for them? Deal with it,

@@wlewisiii I love the Who and saw them live a few times. But Peart > Moon, even though both were perfect for their bands. Entwistle and Lee are pretty comparable (though I give the edge to Entwistle though many would say Geddy) as are Lifeson vs Townshend (where Townshend is a better musician and Alex the better pure guitar player). Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. I'd just say both bands were exceptionally talented.

​@@waltblackadar4690 "The Ox" was playing chords on the bass before anyone I can recall in rock or pop way, way back when. Listen to an isolated bass track on "The Real Me" to get how easily he cruised up and down the fingerboard, and bent notes. He made it sound so effortless and fluid, and it wasn't showing off, it's just that with only Pete's guitar to play against, he had the leeway to fill empty space with purpose. He was a good musician.

He is not but he is so good.

I was looking for this comment. I've seen tons of great drummers ....and then there's Keith Moon!

Kvyn - Yep. Was so prone to them flying off that Moonie would tape the headphones on.

@Kvyn Gmbyr Yes, it is.

What a brilliant freaking guy.

I wonder if they had to pin the sheet music to his jacket after every practice so he wouldn't lose it on his way home.

lol me too

I love how much he enjoys playing the drums, even in a recording session. The enthusiasm reminds me* of this drummer, Akane Hirose kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fK6gqKiisqfHdJs.html - both always look the happiest person alive behind their kit. * in truth, I was watching that clip, and it reminded me of Keith Moon's enthusiasm, and it brought me here.

He was made to be drummer with that amount of energy!

Yes he was and will always be. As a matter of fact he is more sane, supposedly, than some musicians today.

He used to carry around with him a letter from one of the Syke hospital they sent him to, to prove he was clinically sane, 🤣 he was as mad has a March hair. But boy he could play the drums better than anyone, the only three to come close where BONHAM, GINGER BAKER and CHARLIE, JESUS the four of them are up playing in the GREAT GIG IN THE SKY for the BIG MAN what a show that must be.

May they RIP

Watts & Wyman were no slouches either. Except Bill not so much on the “dynamic” part 🤣

I don't know...as far as classic Rock is concerned, Bonham and Jones were at least as good, but totally different style of music and playing. Moon and Entwistle were basically playing solos 90% of the time, whereas Jones and Bonham were much more groove-oriented.

Fuck them😂🎉

He's also a paedophile.

Keith steals the show. Truly one of the greatest drummers to ever live. He does more than keep the tempo, he matches guitar riffs and vocals and it shows with how aggressively he plays. He makes the drums more of an accompaniment than just a time keeper. Beautiful
