By the way, this is from Isle of Wight festival in 1970.  Another great version (the one I'm listening to) is on the deluxe edition of their album:  "Who's Next".  The second disc is a full concert from April of 1971.  Excellent CD.  The studio album is brilliant as well.  I highly recommend it.

Song of the Week: The Who- Water (Live)
So this is what I'm listening to right now, and I think it's an excellent example of live rock.  As I am a nostalgic listener, it is The Who.  They are a prime example of a Rock n' Roll ensemble.  Roger Daltrey's throaty, visceral vocals; Keith Moon's jet engine-like, roaring drumming; John Entwhistle's thundering and innovative bass playing and Pete Townshend's brilliant compososition, and his rhythmic intense guitar playing.  They were one of the greatest live bands, and this a great example of their talent.
