And the Who owned the Stones when both bands were in their prime. Watch the documentary
Rock and Roll Circus where the Who blew the Stones away when they both played on the same television special live. In fact the Stones looked so bad compared to the Who that they shelved the project and didn't release the video of the show for 25 years.
I posted each band's performance so you can see it for yourself.
The Who: The Who always gave a great performance even if the song was
A Quick One, which kinda sucked. The Who always had difficult time finding a decent band to play on the same bill with them because no matter what band it was, the Who would always blow the other acts away. I went to a Who show in 1969 in St. Louis and the newly formed Led Zeppelin backed out of the top billing on the show because the Who was blowing them off the stage night after night on the tour. The only band that ever managed to look good on the same bill with the Who was the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967 at Monterey.
The Stones: Except for Keith it looked like the entire band wanted to be somewhere else. Brian Jones already looks dead and actually died a few months after this performance which was his last with the Rolling Stones. They're playing
Jumping Jack Flash which was their
take no prisoners song in 1968. I saw them the following year after Mick Taylor replaced Brian Jones on guitar and they were playing with a lot more passion and a sense of vision than this half baked performance.
