The Who, Michael Lindsay-Hogg - A Quick One (While He's Away)
Video Overview & Insights
Performed live at The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus and filmed on 11 December 1968 at InterTel (VTR Services), Stonebridge Park, Wembley. Look out for Keith Moon hurling his side tom drum across the stage at 4’26”. The Who’s performance was deemed to be the best of all the artists who appeared that night. Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and produced by Sandy Lieberson.
You're all forgiven
Recorded before a live audience in London in 1968, The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus was originally conceived as a BBC-TV special. Directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, it centers on the original line up of The Rolling Stones -- Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman (with Nicky Hopkins and Rocky Dijon) -- who serves as both the show’s hosts and featured attraction. For the first time in front of an audience, “The World’s Greatest Rock and Roll Band” performs six Stones classics. The program also includes extraordinary performances by The Who, Jethro Tull, Taj Mahal, Marianne Faithfull, Yoko Ono, and The Dirty Mac. A ‘supergroup’ before the term had even been coined, the band was comprised of Eric Clapton (lead guitar), Keith Richards (bass), Mitch Mitchell of The Jimi Hendrix Experience (drums), and John Lennon on guitar and vocals.
The Who's new studio album WHO is released on 6 December 2019.

At 1:27 Pete tries to do a windmill with his arm, but he whacks Keith's microphone.
@randomuser2619The Who in mid-season form. Never better.
@michaeljudd9812Dear Lord, was that all Newcastle Brown and Gin sweat from Keith Moon?!
@Bob-b7x6vI love watching Keith EXPLODE around his drum kit. He played with such incredible power and wonderful fluidity.
The rest of the band's pretty good too!
An absolutely iconic performance.
This is just amazing nothing else sounds like this
@joechiocca8429John had a great falsetto.
@jeeeeeeeemOne of the best live perfomance ever for sure !
@F_PetrolIs this really live, and not lip-synced? The four-part harmony at the start is astonishingly on-key for a live performance.
@miknreneBest version.
@dickysix68Moon is the one who kills this the most.
@jordanperez1568The Stones should have never put them on the bill if they wanted to stand out. They slayed this set!
@jordanperez1568I love this song beginning @4:29. Amazing song and Amazing performance !!
@superfly3990I think that Keith Moon might not quite be all right in the head
@simonbarnfield3579The Who kicked ass and took names at the this gig... Jagger was not happy.
@charlesmountain77021968 is an underdiscussed year for the Who. The Who Sell Out came out in the US (already out in UK), and they made some effort to pull together a new album to be called Who's For Tennis. The song "Glow Girl" evolves into one of the early catalysts for the Tommy story but will not see official release until Odds & Sods six years later. By September, they are already working on the rock opera; when the Rock 'n' Roll Circus was taped, they were deep into it and still had months to go before release. While the group were hardly hermits at this time, live footage of them is a bit scarce. With Who's For Tennis scrapped, some of its leftovers became summer singles. These songs--"Call Me Lightning," "Magic Bus," the utterly baffling "Dogs"--suggest a group unsure of its next moves.
This footage wouldn't even see the light for another ten years. The band we see here is closer to Woodstock than Monterrey, and not just temporally. Roger is starting to free his hair from the dippity do, already wearing fringe, and is getting the hang of the mic twirling that will become his trademark. His voice, too, is more confident and less nasally (compare this to Leeds and then contrast it with the 1966 studio version). Pete has already switched from Strats to SGs, the guitar of the white-jumpsuit era to come.
And yeah, uncontroversial take: this is the best version of this song.
Reading Pete's book right now and never heard this song before. The story behind it is pretty wild.
@rustyshackleford509You could watch this video. And then, you could try to tell me that Keith Moon wasn't the greatest rock drummer of all time. But then, I would have to slap you, and kick you out into the street without letting you even finish your tea.
@steventravers3615Is this mimed? They sing the little bit at the beginning sitting together away from their mics, and then they go their mics and sing directly into them and the sound is exactly the same. Never mind, it's still a good performance.
@davidyoung9716Very respectful to Dylan's original version but at same time very up to date
@aclaudiocerqueirasaw The Who at Giant Stadium June 30, 1989. Kids are Alright tour. They played for 4 hours. Best show I ever saw.
One week later I saw the rolling stones same venue. Steel Wheels tour. They played for 90 minutes, did a couple of encores and left.
No comparison.
0:55 Pete wrote that part.
@SNORBOMBS315Si vas a hacer un show con otros músicos, simplemente no invites a The Who
@akkorakkor6853But then he shows up...' And the SHOTGUN Sings a song!' 🤘😎
@bryand999The boys came onto the Stones stage on the Stones TV show and completely blew them away. Incredible performance... pure rock and roll.
@keaner21La mejor banda de rock
@hectorandrade8107Just found this, what a complete joy! There will never be another Keith Moon. (And not a hi-hat in site)
@jayb.johnson139I own this on video VHS & on DVD, & I have always felt that this performance here is what people refer to as a "Show Stopper" & "Stealing the Show", yes it was a great show put on by the Rolling Stones, with an admirable tip o' the hat for having Taj-Majal Rock the shit out your Soul as well, but This FUCKING SONG A LONE makes me say FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUJJJJUUUCK!!!
Rolling Stones, you are Forgiven!!!🎶
This Song Alone Did It!!!
@bugzjuliano3834If Keith Moon got paid double everyone else in the band no one could complain.
@RickZolloKeith Moon really wanted to be part of this band.
@BillTunellHoly shit
@ApostlesOfDarkness6699those illegal pictures were for art studies
@DaveSmith-v3tJohn Entwistle was not only the greatest bass player ever, he was also the best Emo Phillips impersonator ever.
@davidreichert9392Fox in the hen house.
@ChristopherBennett-m8hJust wow
@ScottEarlamIch habe The Who immer schon geliebt. Aber dieser Song schlägt alles!!!!! Hier wird deutlich, wie großartig diese Band war. Diese unglaubliche musikalische Kraft!!! unfassbar!!
@sigistrele5835The INIMITABLE, Kieth Moon.
@LKaramazov演奏途中で一瞬見せるピートの「してやったり！」の表情が凄く好き。
@なかつちょうやMenos mal que no destrozaron todo de lo contrario hubiera sido aún más épico
@santiagovegas6275what a band, mind blowing!!
