The Who to this day remain one of the three most influential British rock acts (alongside the Beatles and the Stones) and this 1966 recording is of one of their early classics Substitute. The band members have largely remained the same since forming in 1964 comprising lead singer Roger Daltrey, lead guitar Pete Townshend, bassist John Entwistle and drummer Keith Moon. They retain quite a following to this day (2014) and recently had the honour of playing the Super Bowl Half-Time Show in 2010 (Super Bowl XLIV.
@Pierlott check out the pixies here comes your man
they do that but to the extreeeeeme
This is sooo sixties! The clothing, the mimics! How Pete hits his electric guitar and it sounds like an acoustical one. Pete’s face looks like he got ran over by a caterpillar truck, and i think i see te tiremarks on his jacket when he turns around.
The Who Rules
wot a group they dont make them like that any more wow
@thewalterodim your opinion in invalid fool.
Roger Daltry’s so good, he doesn’t even need a microphone!
I have to say i think the Ramones did this better then the Who.
like most acts, the best stuff is at the start before they all get all fat, rich, pompous (Tommy, Won’t Get fooled etc) and dead. This is the best stuff, about being new to the pulling game and not feeling up to the job
perfect for Ryan “Giggs” 0.51
roger looks so awkward in this
keith is hilarious
The WHO – perhaps the best live rock band ever – and easily the best lead singer and lead guitarist
01:59 John’s smile!
My God, I really like the music from my dad’s era. I really love this song!
I love the who! Especially Keith! And John! And Pete and Roger!
This is punk, before punk became Punk!
aw look at little pete
love the way they are perfectly dressed….but I love more when they get perfectly crazy! specially keith <3
classic wat else can i say .
keith is not the prototype for the animal…. HE IS THE ANIMAL!!! 😀 one of the best drummers ever!
Keith is most definitely the prototype for ‘Animal’ from ‘The Muppets’. Note how he plays the drums on this video.
Last summer my brother was substitute pitcher on the little league all-star team, so I would always sing this to him before his game.
@rbmt3rd2007 I agree. I call modern music “that terrible noise”. Now people think I’m really old. Sometimes I act older than my grandfather.
But it’s not my fault. Old music is just that great. Very few modern artists have that same spark.
amazing to get from rock around the clock to this in 9 years…
both exemplary examples of actual music
