A perfect document of an intense rock band performing live. Here are The Who performing “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, live, as part of a filmed segment to be included in a documentary about the band’s history, “The Kids Are Alright”. Jeff Stein directed the documentary and caught and edited this spirited performance of the song which originally appeared on their studio release, “Who’s Next”. The Who have always excelled as a live act and this is surely one of their most classic live documents. Keith Moon tirelessly rattles out his drum parts. Roger Daltrey shrieks and howls his way through the lyrics. Pete Townsend prances, windmills and otherwise abuses his guitar and body throughout the song. And, the great bass virtuoso, John Entwistle, effortlessly produces amazingly fleet note runs on his instrument. Iconic.
