Nicos did you really see Them ? Count me jealous.
I do really like The Who and i bet on a good night they were unbeatable. The fact that occasionally one of the others would sing and they had some kind of backing vocals probably swings it for me. Spot the Beatle fan eh..
However there is a point somewhere where @#$%& brilliant is just @#$%& brilliant.
I've seen Miles Davis, Brian Wilson play Smile (several times), Keith Jarrett trio improvise, Stones (amazing Midnight Rambler),MJQ and many others that i simply can't compare with each other...they were so brilliant for so many different reasons that comparison is futile.
Not a Zep fan but again, i bet they were awesome 69/70 ish.
That's not very helpful is it ?
Very helpful answer, it's the question that's not helpful.
As you said, comparison is futile. Such different bands.

Again, this is kinda the point. Who's in a position to judge who was the best band (and decide what period was actually their peak)? Not me--I first saw the Stones and Zep in the 60s, but the Who not until the Kenney Jones era (and they were never my favorite band, although I liked them, so obviously I'm biased anyway).

i didn't know you thought "behind blue eyes", "the kids are alright", "eminence front", "won't get fooled again", and "who are you" all sound like the same song. didn't the who reinvent themselves several times? i seem to recall the bands sound and the members looks changed a lot from 1964-1984
That's just daft. Roger's fatter, which is why his wrinkles don't show.
thats not true at all
it is true at all.
daltery looks fatter because of his years of weight lifting. he is in top shape and can outlift jagger any day of the week.
When you look at the polls rating best lead singers, Daltrey is almost never in the top 10. Most overated lead singer ever: Robert Plant, a Daltrey wannabe but with less talent and (much) less masculinity.

The Who at the Isle Of Wight & Gimme Shelter are my 2 favorite rock movies. at .54 seconds into see me his voice is amazing. Sends shivers down my spine eveytime.

The Who were hacks so they never changed much (= hammering the audience with a P.A. cranked up to the max) & LZ struggled very hard to put on a decent show after 1973 so I'd say the Stones are #1.
Plus unlike the other two bands, they always managed to really reinvent themselves : 69 was very different from 67, 76 was (alas) very different from 73, 82 was very different from 76, 81 was very different from 78 etc etc.

How many here got to see all three? Seen the Stones the last 6 times in Vancouver, The Who in 89 and mid 90's in Vancouver and Plant/ Page a while back so kind of seem them all but not like it would have been back in the 70's.

Saw Zep a few times between 75 and 77. Saw The Stones for Some Girls and The Who for "By The Numbers." All were great but it's not even close. Even the "Who Are You" tour with Kenny Jones was mindblowing. The Who's show marched forward as the energy and playing got more intense with each song played. They had it all and respected the audience which Zep did not...

The Who between 1968 and 1972 were as good as live rock 'n roll gets.

The Stones at Wembley 73 - no one ever topped that performance. But my favourite all round gig I went to is still The Flamin' Groovies supported by The Ramones and The Strangler at the Roundhouse in 76 - the gig that kicked punk off over here in the UK.

The Who at 1969-70 were the ultimate greatest live act around. Not long after 1970 Keith Moon started weakening, something that effected their unique live act. I can put any of their fairly descent recorded concert of 1969-70 in the playlist and listen to it from start to end, enjoying any minute. No other band can get me to feel that. Not even the Stones with their 1972 STP gigs.

On what planet is Roger Daltrey underrated? Not the one I live on. Geez, he had the package, voice, stage presence, looks. Will never forget him prancing onstage with his flowing blonde locks like a Rock God and the bru-ha-ha about him playing lead in Tommy The Rock Opera. Got that double album for some teenage birthday & about wore it out. Live long, sing & prosper, Roger! You've given us rock fans decades of fun!

from 70 to 76 i think the who were the best live band maybe ever,townsend, moon,and entwistle were great, but daltrey gave it the fire,
Just as an aside-- Roger Daltry is in better shape than Mick Jagger [davedraper.com] And his age shows less.
That's just daft. Roger's fatter, which is why his wrinkles don't show.
