A very good August Monday to you. Here’s just what you need to kick-start the week. The Who performing “Long Live Rock.”

Below we have a clip of the band performing “Long Live Rock” for the BBC in 1973. The song (recorded in ’72) didn’t appear on an L.P. until the rarities collection, Odds & Sods hit record shops in October of 1974. The tune was released as a single in various countries in ’74 and again, in mostly different markets, in ’79. Play loud!
