(5,646 posts)I've seen them multiple times and they were simply the greatest band I have ever seen perform live.
Thanks for the reaction video, I normally do not like them, but this was special.

Right along with crushing love and the missing of that love while on tour.

(27,848 posts)when I was a teenager, and loved listening to "Who's Next", my mother would yell at me to come set the table and I'd yell back, "as soon as the song is over", but right before I said that, I'd lay the needle on the long version of "Won't Get Fooled Again".
When I was a teen-aged girl, it was very important for me, apparently, to never leave my room.

(27,848 posts)when people ask "Stones or Beatles?" I always answer "The Who".
The combination of Roger Daltrey's voice and Pete Townshend's music is one of the most serendipitous events of our lifetime.
This made my day, thank you.

I'm a Whooligan, but I truly think that 1,000 years from now, you could give Quadrophenia to any adolescent and they'd understand and get it.
Not a Zeppelin or Stones, or even Beatles album you could do that with.
I don't know how PT captured teen-aged angst the way he did, I really don't, but jaysus.
Also, I underappreciated the lyrics to this song before.
