THE WHO - LIVE - MY GENERATION
"This is where it all .... ends" blurts Pete Townsend and all hell breaks loose. That is an understatement. This seemingly trite song turns into complete unabashed bedlam. I honestly believe that after all these years this is how the song should look and sound whenever its performed.
Drummer Keith Moon is unrelenting when this song takes off and doesn't quit. I am somewhat disappointed with this clip because I've seen it before from the film, "The Kids Are Alright". I was never able to get any confirmation on what is actually happening on the film due to the lighting. Moon hits the drum and looks up as if he is trying to catch a drumstick in mid-flight. I have seen him look up several times on different clips but have no idea if he actually does this at all. He pretends to catch something and continue on pounding and bashing the hell out of his drum kit. Maybe he really does catch it and then again, maybe he is just play acting.
He drums so fast anyways that its really difficult to tell.
I wished there was a complete clip of the chaos in the middle of the song -- I can do without all the flashbacks. The rest of this song is quite dizzying. The clip picks back up at the end when Moon smashes up his drums briefly as the explosions go off. That part looks a bit sloppy and not as great as it could have been but still its a triumphant ending. There isn't much to break up after Townsend and Daltrey stumble off the stage.
They weren't trying to be cute in this performance. There is real blood and venom going on in the delivery of this song.
