Who Are You

Was a song I had not heard by The Who. Now watching CSI Las Vegas and the song keep repeating. When they say in the lyrics “do you want to know” I always respond I don’t really want to know who the next person to be murdered is but I know they will tell me anyway. “Who Are You” was composed by Pete Townshend and is on their 1978 album of the same name. The song became one of their biggest hits in North America. It is also one of the band’s signature tune when they perform live. The piano track is played by Rod Argent. Who knows this song?

It hurt me to watch this in The Kids Are Alright, seeing how bad Keith Moon looked (I read, much after the fact, that they had to have another drummer because Keith wasn’t able to work adequately) compared to the videos in the 60s and early 70s. Do love the song.

@JohnRoberts — of course. The first time I saw it, though, was right after it was released, and there was just no ignoring the way Keith deteriorated through the course of the the clips. Favorite moment, though, was Entwistle target shooting his gold records.

Keith passed away weeks after the Who Are You album cover photo was taken.

@myklj999 There are so many songs they missed over the years. First release of Dire Straights Money for nothing. First release Charlie Daniels Band the Devil went down to Georgia. It makes the earlier albums worth more!

I remember this song from decades ago, it was one that was overplayed to the point that I ended up no wanting to hear it again.

It's a great song. One of the few by The Who I actually like.

This is the first time I've heard of this song. And I don't watch CSI Las Vegas. It's a cool song though.
