That was a proper song and a great reaction (yes I do remain watching for your lyrics review). I've seen The Who quite a few times, memorably at 2005 Live 8 at Hyde Park and one of bassist John Entwistle's last ever concerts at the Royal Albert Hall. They still tour with remaining members Daltrey and Townsend. This is my favourite Who track but they have so many classics.

Keith Moon the drummer was the inspiration for Animal the drummer for the muppets! They taped Keith’s headphones on his head here to keep them on! Cheers.

The lasers, the drums, the scream and Pete sliding across the floor. Iconic

[luigipasquale]

This sadly, was the last concert Keith Moon (drummer) performed with the band.. he passed away shortly afterward.. Moon the Loon was a legend.. great drummer and performer

From what I understand from a biography of Pete Townshend (guitarist and producer of most of The Who's songs), Won't Get Fooled Again was an anthem against phony revolutions. It was a way of warning protesters to be careful what they wish for. I grew up with The Who's music (1970s). They have been my favorite band since I was in high school.

I saw them Live in 1972. They played (no opening act) 3 hours - So Loud and Good, and I'm in my 7, 0s, and my ears are still ringing. Great show.
Loved your commentary. Thanks for showing this video.

I love to watch you doing music reactions. The pure joy you show in your face, reminds me how this music affected me when I first heard it. Thanks to you and T. Keep learning and growing.

Really good reaction to one of a legion of wonderful groups from London and thanks for allowing the song to flow.

[terrencedye]

Thank you for taking the time to read the lyrics and understand what this song is all about, once again thank you x

[chadleabo]

Great reaction! I got to see the Who live in concert in 1989 and even then (over a decade after this performance) they were a force of nature.

[atenachos]

The lyrics are as true then as they are now.

Note the gong hanging behind Keith Moon. Instead of a beater, he's got a fourteen pound SLEDGEHAMMER hanging on it. Typical Moon.
A quick, but true, short story. In1966, I was working in a musical instrument shop in London's West End. Kit Lambert - The Who's manager at the time - sometimes used to come in and buy bits and pieces for the band. Nothing big, just sticks & strings kind of stuff. But one day he came in and asked my manager if he could rent a kit for Moon as they were gigging the Hammersmith Odeon that night and Keiths kit was being set up at the venue. Keith was also booked that afternoon to do a photo shoot, but had no kit to do it with. Because of Keiths reputation, Lambert was told "No way" - in no uncertain terms. Lambert went on to say that Keith wouldn't actually be PLAYING them, just posing for pics. Anyway, my boss relented and agreed.
A little later, Keith came in. I was expecting a roadie, but no, it was the man himself. He asked about the kit and I pointed one out, he said "Fine". I asked him if he had transport - he told me he didn't. I asked him if he'd like me to call him a taxi. He said he didn't have any money. What?? This was the famous Keith Moon! No money? He told me they wouldn't let him have money as he'd probably snort it. I asked him where the shoot was taking place and he mentioned a photo studio about a quarter of a mile away. I said that we'd have to carry the kit... So between us, we carried a drum kit through the streets of Soho and found that the studio was on the fifth floor of a building with no lift. We eventually got the kit to where it was supposed to be, and I asked him to give me a call when he was finished and I'd help him return the drums. Fine.
3 hours later, I worriedly called the studio to ask if the shoot was finished. They told me that Keith had pissed off 2 hours earlier and would I please move these drums that were blocking the stairway. It took me 3 journeys to get them back to the shop. Cheers, Keith.

[darinmetzger]

Most important lyric in that song. ‘Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss’🤔🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏

[garya]

Entwistle shows his energy where it counts His fingers

[liamoconnor]

This was good....and a nice reading of the lyrics at the end. Nice one.

[mojorider]

some of the best lyrics in rock history: Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Wow, just hits the cynicism in all of us who hope for better things but wind up being disappointed

[randykasky]

I got to see them back in the mid 70s and again in 89. As you can see, lots of energy!

The Who was filming this concert at Shepperton Studios near London for a movie they were making called "The Kids Are Alright". In studio next to where The Who was performing, the film "Alien" was being recorded. The cast and crew of "Alien" took a break to go and watch The Who gig. They liked the laser show at the end of Won't Get Fooled Enough so much, they borrowed the laser equipment from The Who and used it in the movie. So next time you watch "Alien", be sure to keep an eye out for The Who's lasers. On a different note, a young and unknown Chrissie Hynde was in the audience that day. A year or so later she formed the band the Pretenders.
