The Who being announced by Jack Nicholson himself. Can't get more legendary than that.

Daltrey sings with every ounce of energy in his body

[mdnghtun]

Daltrey came out that day and chose violence.

What a voice. What a performance. That's without even mentioning Townsend and Entwistle

[LaserRanger]

They picked one of their hardest vocal songs...nailed it. Entwistle KILLING it on this song

[MaximeMestres]

Roger Daltrey sang at Monterey 1967, Woodstock 1969, Isle Of Wight 1970, Live Aid 1985 and Freddie Mercury Tribute 1992. Such a legend.

[nghivmai]

My throat hurts just watching Roger sing, yet he nailed every bit of it. What a vocalist.

[joshuabrooks]

Great Version of this song. I just wish John Entwhistle and Keith Moon were still here to celebrate the Who's 50th anniversary with us.

[robinhoatcity]

Daltrey what a voice what a band - that’s my youth right there

[carshagify]

He sings it even better now. At 78, Roger Daltrey blows the roof off the dump every single time. I saw him Saturday at Bethel Woods in the Catskills -- the music streaming right up over the mountains, and the complete and utter joy on his face, the joy of performing at the top of his form. If you get the chance, go! This is the experience of a lifetime.

[revswank]

Roger Daltrey is perhaps the most underrated singer of all time, perhaps because of the musicians who surrounded him. But he held his own, and more so...even in a crack band like THE FUCKING WHO.

[ecorro]

Amazing performance. All-round band made of titans. Roger singing as if that was the last time he would do it, all the feeeling from his heart and all the energy from his body. This was glorious.

[dmitryowens]

Only two words to describe Roger's voice - fucking killer!

[Vailoverever]

One of the greatest voice of rock'n'roll.

[maureraleixo]

OH LORD THAT BASS SOUND .. THE WHOLE BAND IS PHENOMENAL

[maryj.]

What a great performance. Roger was the real deal. Sang his heart out on this one. Who else could really sing Pete's strange, stirring songs like this?

[georgestevens]

Fantastic live version. Most excellent sound mix. You can hear every instrument and nobody drowns out Roger's great vocal.

[adamsasso]

Imagine, as a singer, walking out onstage and starting with this.

[kevincarrasco]

This will always be my most favorite band of all time
The Who
Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Kenney Jones, John Entwistle, John "Rabbit" Bundrick

[fabianamaciasheymo]

In the center of the soul even the tears you will cry tomorrow. Only love

[imakimmy]

Daltrey pulled that from his soul. Incredible version.
