The Who - Wont Get Fooled Again

Atrocious camera work. You'd never know they have a bass player....

We do not get fool again ---9/11 / 2001

So if you find thousands of images of child pornography on Pete Townsend's computer does that mean he's a great guitarist who is a pedophile or do we overlook that?

And this how we rock kids.

An absolute amazing performance ! ! ! 🤩To fans of The Who please bear with me as this is a long but definitely REWARDING post. Most of this comes from an English (born in London ENGLAND) lad. In 2017 I asked an English Deep Purple fan about rock in the UK in the Seventies.This guy aged 13/14 in 1970 was blown away by the - In Rock- album released by Deep Purple in 1970. This English hombre from 1970 - 77 saw:DEEP PURPLE, Black Sabbath, Uriah HeepRolling Stones T Rex with Marc BolanDavid Bowie, the up until 1976 little known band callled Queen, the when it came to playing live, mediocre at best Led Zeppelin AND in complete contrast. . . The WHO to name but a few . . . Lol.Ritchie BLACKMORE - is our mutual hero. In 1979 Blackmore gave an interview talking about lasting influences from the 70's. Blackmore talked about Pete Townsend ( PT) and his immortal contribution. Pete Townsend - and his ability to go from his unparalleled ability to play rhythm and effortlessly segue into lead. In the video for - Won't get Fooled Again - PT does it repeatedly. Wow . . . Blackmore also mentions ... melody. The Who were a innovstors, were thete first and a melodic band. Look at their singles e.g. Pinball Wizard etc .PT's ability to play melodic rhythm guitar and again, brilliant segue into a solo or lead break.Gunslinger Pose - apart from Townsend's patented " windmill " and his constant jumping bean movements; it's his gunslinger pose, again re-watch this video and you will see it. Jimmy Page - blatantly copied this move from '75 onwards. You can clearly see it in the self titled LED ZEPPELIN 2002 DVD !I'm sorry but fair is fair and many of Plant and Page's stage moves from 1972 and onwards, are heavily " borrowed " from The Who.PLANT versus DALTREY - it was that cheeky Keith Richards who points that out. Keef initially thought that Zeppelin aesthetically were clones of The Who. Lol.WHY - Roger Daltrey had the same long haired blond locks, the voice and definitely the stance. Daltrey in concert would lift up his Right hand, look to his right and hold that store and twist for about 10 or more seconds . . .would break the pose and then energetically dance around. Plant circa 1972 would do the same but then put his hands on his hips and then thrust his hips forward and suggedtively thrust them left and right. One critic called this braggadocio. Bonham versus Keith Moon - in my opinion BOTH were a amazing drummers whose style formed their individual bands style. Bonham was NOT better than Keith Moon. The Bonzo versus the Loon battle is, and WAS, both moot and and redundant.The Good Guys - both John Paul Jones and Jon Entwhistle were brilliant bassists and musicians. In the last decade we have found out that John Paul Jones was THE driving force behind Zeppelin.

I just saw the who with an orchestra behind them and the sound wasn't as big as this.

You sure you weren`t in an elevator?

I can hear him...just cant see him

My favorite hard rock band growing up in the 70's. Punk attitude combined with impeccable musicianship. And maybe more importantly, great songwriting. It always comes back to the writing. The message of this song still lives on, and always will, unfortunately.

Back in the 80's i saw john entwistle play in a little club in Boston. He and the guitarist had a quick back and forth guitar war. The guitar player ended up on the floor bowing at entwistles feet! True story. Most awesome bass player i have ever witnessed up close.

It looks like Townshend don't need to do any effort to play the guitar. Like the guitar is just an extension of his body. It just incredible...

4:14 John's only appearance in the video.

Pete is wearing a pair of leather shoe and see how high he jumped, imagine he wear a pair of Nike Air... John and Alan Spenner’s would have to be the best bassists in rock’s band.

Queen chingon

Look how cool Entwhistle was...this is a great vid

awesome !!

I rather like the two video split screen.very visually appropriate & appealing.

Really missing that OXCAM...

lube tv awsom clap

This double images is no good.

Why am I seeing double? I gave up drinking years ago

I never realized how good Keith moon was , I recon he was one of the best drummers in the world .even better than Ginger Baker

agree, Keith had more to offer, very gifted.

Very cool!! Thank you for the upload. I had only see the Kilburn version from The Kids are Alright movie. This must have been the second day filming as I know they did a couple "concerts" at Shepperton / Kilburn. The version is a bit cleaner and I think Pete hadn't had quite as many brandy's. But I'll take The Orrible Oo' any way they arrive. lol

This was.... the last show....

I love the Who but the Kilburn concert is mostly just sad, especially knowing its back story. They hadn't played together in a year and Keith's physical deterioration had finally got the better of him. Just not together as a band. Its not terrible but its no wonder they shelved it. The Shepperton stuff is definitely better but still plodding. I wish all the time that Keith could have stayed with us. He could have gotten back into shape. Simple bad pill taking habits got the better of him. Terrible shame.

These guys are good but kinda dorky.

The first Super Group.....cream were light years behind.

John never got much camera love...cuz he just stood there. But meanwhile...one of the greatest rock bassists of all time.

Sized this down and stared into the screen but couldn't see stereo.Morals that we worship will be gone. Super great vid always fresh asa daisy. They decide and the shotgun sings the song. Change it had tocome, we knew it all along. Fighting in the streets. Tip my hat to the newrevolution. History ain't changed. World looks just the same.Hollywood '19 was a fine soundcheck. Meet the new boss.

Epic just Epic

ya i think i would have lost my mind if i was there

Um...Is just saying 'wow' understating?

Best band ever, and I was proud to have seen them at Manchester belle view in 1975 when I was 15. Thanks to my best mate who's brother drove us their in his ford cortina

Quanta atitude para aquela época

Entwhistle bass player of this century

Even a laggard Keith Moon, there are imitators of. Holding Keith Moon means an end to showing off.

This proves that even on an off night the Who were/are the greatest band in human history.

THE BEST PART!!! ( 7:35 ).... Keith Moon was FULL OF ENERGY!!!! R.I.P. brother😭

Anyone else watching this wishing they had some drugs to hand ?

Okay class let's parse and dissect this.Meet the new boss same as the old boss.I'm an atheist so don't answer to any of their ilk.The Who's a band in person. A Hollywood band from Britain.They'll play again soon but I'll be at some other show.Townshend's taller than Daltrey and plays way rad involvingswingin' his arm around. Hollywood rock'n'roll like the Beatles.

Incredible! ❤️

Anybody else come here because Your Favorite Band Sucks?

This band is amazing

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.Never fooled, just overpowered.

The Who played this for me in Hollywood last night.Pretty much like this.

The Best Band Of The World

Such a bunch of pimped up poseurs....But just the best ever.Who, the fuck are you.....?

Brilliant!

Pure Energy, pure togetherness, pure musicality but overall pure magic!

John just being the coolest man in history

Turn it up to 11!!

Waouh What quality!Amazing artists!Thanks for sharing! :))

I'm trying to find a comment better than all others... I failed... All are typed by wise people with good taste in music!!!

Amazing that when I was listening to this, in high school, that was it! I never saw any film! It was the music.. and nothing else. Now... I'm watching the 'visual'. Where was this shit BACK in 1977!!😠

America's in the hands of republican pigs from Kentucky.Vote as a citizen 'til I'm blue in the face but the constitutionguarantees a republican government. Y'all saw what we didto Hiroshima and Nagasaki in '45. That was legit but so muchwarmongering since then what with the Bushes and Reagans.Getting rid of that "electoral college" system would be a start.Trickle down economics that all the jesus worshippers vote for.More heaps of money for the rich and a penny for the poor.That's the American way. Young boys from Kentucky enforcethe American philosophy of hate.

Democrat Harry S Truman dropped the bomb in '45...

simply stunning

Super Song

Keith moon, electrifying

una cancion en especial que me recuerda cuando era joven y esa llama de la libertad se encendio en mi ,que aun perdura en estos tiempos

Fine performance--but Shepperton is the one for the time capsule.

Legends.

Watch it and decide who gave the best performance out of the four of them. Then watch it again and I bet you change your mind to another member of the band. All four are outstanding.

We are the Who and this is how we're gonna be.

Always loved The Who! Keith just annihilated the drums! Most unorthodox playing yet sounds perfect! The band together was simply majestic! Sorry but no Keith and it’s just not the same! No knock to kenny Jones! But Keith was the glue!!!!!

The most dynamic thing John Entwistle does is casually take two steps back when Pete takes a run and slide over to his side of the stage. And I love him for it. What a band.

I think Entwistle's static stage presence and intricate bass lines held the band together on stage. We'll never know but I think things would have been too chaotic if he'd been leaping around with the rest of them. Entwistle's bass playing on Quadrophenia is sublime.

Definitivamente solo para conocedores no para ignorantes

Una banda súper completa el mejor baterista, el mejor bajista uno de los mejores guitarristas y uno de los mejores vocalistas

the who is my idol long live keith moon and john entwhistle

God dam put the camer on john hes going nuts

Ok this time it doesn't matterThere's an ox camera if you didn't know, its freaking awesome.

Is it only me do Kieth Moon and Jim Backus look like brothers?

moon's playing on this is insane

Split screen Double The Who 👍🏼💜❤️😎

サイコー、かっこE😎

You could power a city with that energy

Actually the split screen makes the band seem bigger in a way, and that's the effect they've always tried to achieve with their sound. So: weird but cool.

The Who in this era to me is the greatest live band of all time

One for George Bush Jr.

The Who were like watching a freight train at full speed on the verge of derailing yet somehow manage to stay on the tracks. The craziest loose cannons of rock.

Saw them live twice in Stadiums of over 70,000 people. Their energy was outstanding and yes they moved like this for 2 hours! I pushed my way to the front just so I could get close to Daltrey. What a powerhouse! Body surfed, got thrown over the wall, lost my shoes, and it was totally worth it! Gorgeous man!

Keith Moon is Dead Now. I saw an Excellent Tribute Band to the Who.............................Called The Who Experience from Southern California. I highly recommend you see them if you get the chance.

Double Who...!!!

Did pete find a kid? Is that why he is jumping?

Why is The Who an eight piece band?

What's wrong with this picture?Don't get me wrong - I worship The Who as much as most, but please; tell me how one slams a closing chord 7 seconds after one has thrown one's instrument on the stage?

I get shivers watching this. 👍

The Who: Roger, Pete, and Keith going apeshit while John is being the coolest man in existence.

Perfect Rock and Roll

Im out of air guitars! I smashed all of them on this video!!!!

This should be anti Donald Trump song!

Pete surely can move and jump a lot. What an energy!

Man John’s tone on this song just slays me!!!

THE WHO!!!!!!

Now THAT is rock music. Take note you current plastic manufactured auto tuned twats of today's music factories. Watch, weep, and learn and acknowledge that you will NEVER produce a sound or a song like that

that bass tho! so fucking loud

I wonder if Pete developed arthritis in his ankles. lol What a active group of guys. The Who will always be a phenomenal band look at this performance! Wow.

Did Townsend drop his Les Paul?
