The Who - You Better You Bet

Nico Gerbenzon

If you wanted to hear one track that epitomizes The Who it would be this one.At their peak they were a phenomenal band.

Tengo 25 años y me siento sensacional de llevar mi vida con The who los vi primera vez en mi bello Mexico City, #Thewho #Roger #Keint #Pete #Edw #YouBetteryoubed

Rogers voice is so clutch. My 9th grade revolved around The Who and specifically this song. I soon realized the genius of PT and his awesome solo work. The Who has something more for me than the stones. I can’t articulate why other than The Who seemed more rebellious and at the same time completely authentic and genuine. I was thrust into their words and sounds back in the 80s up to present time.

Possibly the peak of Townshend's songwriting.

classic rock

Fantastic! This Song is the Apotheosis from The Who!

2019 anyone who

Pete does not look like he took Keith's death lightly. Just look at him.

I mean I wasn't even born yet, and it damn near broke me.

No te enamores juaco

Still awesome 38 years later. Wow. 😍

Ripper!

I was gonna say this was the 4th video played on MTV, but someone beat me to it. Only 3 I can recall were VKTRS and You Better Run at #2 by Benatar. Wasn't able to burn #3 into my pop culture center.

"I don't mind how much you love me - a little's alright..."

This is from the Face Dances album which I believe is a very underated album. Another Tricky day was another hit from that album and also one of my favorites was a song called "The Quiet One".

...And Kenny Jones takes home the Shemp Howard Award for having to replace an irreplaceable performer!

Sounds so hollow with Moon gone. The driving force is missing, the heart of the Who.

So fucking great.

In this time we thought we could never die - but only the music never die

those were the Who without Keith moon?

$100,000,000 lawsuit against Crescent City Ca attacking you tube and videos that don't belong to me. Great song.

Their last hit song

KEITH MOON a god and the best drummer who ever played them 😉 anybody agree 2019 ?

I love the Who but also Rory Gallagher

What a load of crap! Yes, the Who played very well live - but this is laughable rubbish!

My favorite song of theirs. So iconic and cool.

Just love this song..

This song should be played every day on rock radio stations!!! Fu%# modern day "rock radio" stations.

I agree todays music is crap

Even here, they look so young, such talents.

Let the good times roll

Oh yeah, great

legends, pure and simple

Lip synch.

perfect song

Movie Yes man suggest never use negative words BUT and NO but sometimes fortunes turns you fat cellulite BUTT and you must say NO, BET - betting gambling of life, where you never know when shit happens.

Enamorarse ? Xd para qué si tienes a los who...!!

Best who song in my opinion

This song transports me back to western Montana late spring/summer 1981.21 and in the process of having my heart ripped out by an older Califonia divorcee.Good times. I'd do it all over again.

Very cool song, only last to long. 3 minutes and half will be better, after the solo. Still, in my favorites

ONE OF BEST SONGS OF EIGHTIES!

'I Drunk myself blind to the sound of old T.Rex'. As well as T.Rex the song mentions the group's 1971 album 'Who's Next' with the line: ‘I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T.Rex... and Who's Next’. The track was written by Pete Townsend who when replying to Marc's claim that he was a better guitarist than him in 1971  said, ‘I've always dug Marc Bolan and he knows it, and he also knows that I'd let him get away with murder because of what he's doing for rock & roll’. This was their biggest hit for 5 years and remains their last UK top 10 hit. Even T.Rex have had a top 20 hit since then - 20th Century Boy in 1991.

To the sound of old T-rex

RIP Keith Moon

Tune, what a group.

And open legs

great song!!

No joke best Who tune ever in my opinion I know they got a lot of good Tunes but this song is just awesome reminds me of being 5 years old and hearing it all the time.

One of the best endings on a rock song...great song endings make you want to hear that song over and over again !

Thought this was Meatloaf

Just saw these cats in Philadelphia, they will never be around again. Sad

The sound of old T-Rex... Who's next....I NEVER get tired of this song

Hate all the ads i have to see before i I listen to this song

I love this video, especially section from 03:37 to 03:54 when Roger singing with John on background playing and Pete appears and disappears in frame. Epic

Been in my head today, can't shake it

As a 56 yr old fan I'm still amazed The Who made cool music in the 80s

very good song you better you bet it is

Aahh yes best who song ever😁😁😁😁😁 go kenny on the drums..FANTASTIC 😊😊😊😊

this is 'geil' we say in Germany

What a tune, what a band

The bass guitar ability of John Entwistle was immense.R.I.P. John Entwistle and Keith Moon ("moonie")

A GREAT WHO SINGLE.AND FACE DANCES IS A BRILLIANT ALBUM.

just had to play it twice

i must do the same

thanxs, peteyour Kwere u laughed at growing up?

No, sorry Kimber -- you don't rule. Why fuck this up by trying to synch it with a Rockpalast performance -- it's not even close. Just post the emptyV video in its original awesomeness.

I bet we like this tune. 🎸😎🤚🏻

THE SOUOUOUNNNDSOUND OF OOOOOOLE TEEEEEEEEEEEREXX!!!!!!!!!!!!

89/meadow landsk showdo not remember one of the thoseshows...saw them twice

Always loved this song...awesome drumming during the chorus.

I just like your nose.

Nice song.....

Led Zeppelin, the Who and on and on, where have all the good times gone?

Wolfgang Hornung very sad those days are gone Wolfgang 😧

Great band

These guys are Rock Gods. I love Daltrey's vocals, Pete Townshend's sharp song writing and his antics on the stage. John Entwistle is exceptional and important to the Who's sound. It was a real shame about Kieth Moon, he was great too!

4:24 Pete is so drunk during the taping of this video he blocks Roger on purpose with his nose as a goof

The memories just fly in with this song.

Good said °Ö°

I prefer this song sung by Townsend

Gotta be one of their best songs.one of the greatest songs ever written. end of."But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T Rexaahand Who's Next":-)

Pls resync audio

"But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T Rexaahand Who's Next":-)one of the best The WHO songs, according to my tasteRip Keith Moon

Love The Who 👏👏👍👍The sound of old T-Rex... Who's next....

Delilha

"But I drunk myself blind to the sound of old T Rexaahand Who's Next":-)one of the best The WHO songs, according to my tasteI NEVER get tired of this song

Pete Townsend is a God, yet I don't believe in a personal God.

When you have the extraordinary talent to paint a picture with ~~~~~~~ words ... " I've been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy sometimes "

Pete looked like Bradley cooper

Rip Keith MoonThe Who Forever!!!You better bet your Life!!!

Katie Wieland no better drummer EVER Katie 🤘

Ever fond of their more edgy sounds, for years I found this song pretty corny. But it's really grown in me, especially after seeing them play it live... I still pick up something kinda goofy about it, but it's definitely a solid piece of music

😎👍🏻

Kenny Jones is a great drummer. He's no Moon but nobody is.

Best who song ever

Say You Better.. Love This Song You Better You Better You Bet I Do..

Fat American fist

Transported back to Jr. High. I'd go back in a second if I could.
