Their chemistry just worked. I've seen them live and they did a good show.

The who was very unique that the guitar ,drums and bass were all doing very different things, its metered chaos. They were very very tight as a band. The rolling stones did a tv special the rolling stones circus, The Who debuted townsends first rock opera the quick one. They were so powerful they made everyone else look like shit. The stones never released the tv show til years later.

This was live and at the end the drum skins Moon used had a layer of oil in them. He burst them playing so hard. Listen to Tommy (the original recording ) in a dark room with headphones on it was amazing and the bass player was also the french horn player.
