The Who -- "Young Man Blues"
Another song that achieves its best expression on Live at Leeds, an album that shows the band at its absolute best -- this is the kind of musicianship that only comes with playing together night after night after night for years, so that each member of the band seems to know what the others are going to do before they do it. There are moments here when no one is playing rhythm -- Keith Moon plays the drums like a lead instrument instead of a rhythm instrument, and who knows what John Entwhistle is doing to his bass guitar. Pete Townsend is just making a lot of noise.
The Who certainly knew what to do with a Mose Allison tune. True to their words, this is maximum R & B.
