I think it's a smart thing. Must be easier to see them. Moon may be crazy, but not stupid. He'll keep it tight when needed.

Very true!!! -Ethan

... or just British!

@@davemac1197 Same thing. 😉

@@66edoug - point.

@@davemac1197 👍

@@davemac1197 good point

Some of their best songs were never on an album. Heaven and Hell from Live at Leeds was attempted many times in the studio but could never get an acceptable take. Young Man Blues is probably another example. I don’t know if they ever attempted to capture it for a studio album, but I doubt it could equal it live.

Interesting! Never heard that before. Entwistle was really something special -Ethan

I disagree, the Isle of Wight version is the best version ,why? You may ask because it's a lot faster than the live at leeds version.....it has nothing to do with the sound quality...the Isle of Wight version is more like punk or metal

Me too Gene! -Ethan

Hey Cheryl, Father ansd Son must've been waiting for you.

We left early from a British Grand Prix at Silverstone one year, because they moved the race from July to April in the calendar and the final laps occurred in the inevitable April shower. The car parks are just a network of grass fields, which will turn to mud as soon as cars start moving around, so I was determined to get out before getting stuck! It just so happened that on this occasion the race was won by Michael Schumacher while stationary in the pits, which is the most ridiculous win in the history of the sport, and we only heard about it on the radio while walking to the car!

@@66edoug Hello there! It worked out great! It was a gorgeous day for the ride up to Lake Geneva.

@@davemac1197 And I've left many baseball games thinking it was a lost cause.

@@cherylreichardt That's terrific. A pretty good Saturday!

True!! -Ethan

He will be put in a poll soon! Keep a lookout on our community tab 👍 -Ethan

Crisis?? What crisis?😊

They were at one time The World's Loudest Band. Must've been a lot of fun.

@@66edoug It was !!! Back in the '70's there was still festival seating where the entire field was people, not rows of chairs like today, and you could bring your own blanket and cooler to the show as well. I miss those days, 😂. ✌️

@@doobiedave9686 I never went to show like that. It' would have been great to go at least once. I did go to outside concerts at an amusement park. But that 's not the same thing. I was too young to remember it anyway.

My first concert was The Who at Madison Square Garden in 1979. They played there on September 13-18 and I went every night. Although everyone was still upset about Keith Moon dying, Kenny Jones had been around a long time and he was fantastic. They were THE loudest band I ever heard, but the sound was also very clear. It’s no surprise that Pete Townsend has hearing loss and permanent ringing in the ears (which must be very annoying). This show, like most concerts in the 60’s & 70’s, was “general admission” also known as “festival seating”. This meant you could sit anywhere, and when they opened the doors people would RUSH inside the colosseum to find the best seat they could. I had been to other general admission concerts where the crowds were pretty well behaved, despite rushing for a good seat. BUT Who fans were very rabid, and you would get pushed and shoved, and if you fell down people would walk over or around you. Most of the people had also obviously been drinking and smoking pot or taking acid, so Who crowds were famous for being rowdy. The shows were great and went fine. Then on December 3, 1979 The Who played a general admission show in Cincinnati at the Riverfront Coliseum, and this time 11 people were crushed to death in the stampede when they opened the doors. For some reason they didn’t open all the doors and people just went nuts trying to get in. It was really inevitable that something bad would happen sooner or later, and general admission shows were banned soon after.

Thanks Javier! -Ethan

That’s a possibility! -Ethan

Yippee!

Hello Dave! -Ethan

@@fatherandsonreactions - it's 2:25am Sunday here - welcome!

Hi Dave!

@@66edoug - hey, greetings from Sunday!

Hi Ed! How's the "leaf peeping" in Maine this weekend?

@@davemac1197 It's okay but a little late and the leaves are falling off the trees. And on my lawn. "Now it's "leaf sweeping" time. 😀

@@davemac1197 I saw many leaves floating on the lake too.

@@66edoug - ha! You're a poet and you don't know it!

@@davemac1197 😁

So we’ve been told! -Ethan

Most people said this was the prime version. Mediocre? Definitely not! -Ethan

I've heard the coliseum version, it's know where near as good as this......open your eyes!

I also think there are several better versions out there than Isle of Wight, and the London Coliseum '12/69 version is way better than the Isle of Wight IMO. Just listen to Keith on the two versions. I read that Pete said Keith was on something he shouldn't have taken at Isle of Wight. Listening to the two versions back to back makes that clear to me. That being said, people who do reaction videos generally are not aficionados of the music to which they react. They tend to go by recommendations from fans with subjective opinions - just like your and mine.

@@fatherandsonreactions I like the Isle of Wight version, but listen to Keith (and Pete) on this one... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n9iTmauitrbacXk.html

If that's mediocre, .... I like!!!
