RUSHHEAD666 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 The expanded Who Sell-Out is astounding.Well, my ass was tounded anyway.The bonus tracks add up to another album's worth of material! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG1HJdEuCn0 A PT demo of this was on one of the Scoop albums. Good stuff! OMG! I bought "The Scoop" when I was a kid. Fell in love with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriar Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Gm1Rj2oKk Townshend is beyond a genius. I love the guy! I saw Pete at The Fillmore in San Francisco. The show sold out in 5 minutes. I was able to score 2 tix.They oversold the joint. It was packed like a sardine can and was hot and sweaty. Alas back then I was young and I took my then girlfriend "Who" later became my wife.It was just Pete, a keyboard player and his "phone book" of lyrics. it was an intimate night with Pete and it blew my fuckking socks off. I actually have the official bootleg from Eel Pie Records. It's Epic! I'm still trying to comprehend that I took my parents a few years ago to see The Who at South Lake Tahoe. It was so surreal seeing them up there. Roger was tripping out about the hotels and then the mountains and the lake. Pete was in a very bad mood. He hated the cold weather and it kept making his guitars go out of tune. Pete said that they will never play in Tahoe again. He then said that they may never play in America again. Crazy how my first concert in my life was The Who. 1982. Then in 2017, I took my parents to the last possible Who show in the States. I hope not. I'm selfishly praying for another Pete Townshend solo album with Simon Phillips!!! Signed, "GIVE BLOOD"Townshend is a genius. Listen to 20:29 - Anymore! WOW! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClashWho Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Quadrophenia is my favorite album of all-time. Actually, it's my favorite work of art of all-time.Were you around when it came out or is it an album you discovered at some point in your life? I discovered Quadrophenia in 1993. I saw them on the last leg of their Quadrophenia tour at their very last show at MSG. Lucky you! I saw them play Quadrophenia at MSG in 1996. I also saw them two more times on the '96/'97 Quad tour and four more times on the '12/'13 Quad tour, including at MSG. I've seen them 21 times total, but that 1996 MSG show was my first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds great, doesn't it?Maybe I'm the only one that's astounded how a song can go from that to what it is on the album. The talent to create something out of nothing is, at least to me, incredible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 (edited) The truth is that when it comes to Quadrophenia, I find the English language inadequate in words to describe it. I open my mouth to say something and search in vain for a word that adequately describes the album for me. Even after all of these decades. I hear it better today than when it came out because I know more about music, thanks to this forum. I listen to music differently than I used to because I'm more aware of things. TRF fine-tuned my musical ear! :) Edited March 7, 2019 by Lorraine 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Holy Shit Lorraine! I should have been in bed an hour ago. I put in the movie "Quadrophenia" on Criterion blu-ray. The movie is EPIC! Gets me every time.One of the greatest movies ever made.Like the "Tommy" movie. Another epic masterpiece movie.Any"Who" I just bought four tickets to see THE WHO at the new CHASE CENTER in San Francisco!I had to pull the trigger.I'm RUSH first, but THE WHO was my first show in my life in 1982 at age 14.The Who is just IT for me too. I'm a Pete Townshend Freak!My buddy was going to get me into the UFO Armored Saint show in San Francisco for free, but it's also on October 9th. I have to see THE WHO! It will be my 5th and final time. It's called the "MOVING ON" TOUR. I'm going down in flames with the bands I grew up with. Like Jim says in Quadrophenia FUKK IT! You girls may think guys are jerks and screw up your minds? Well, women destroy men too. FUKK IT! I will NEVER marry again. Good luck to the current generation. I will stick to "MY GENERATION!!!" YYZOOT SUIT FOOLS! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Listening now in preparation to see The Who with Dad next week. Has to be my favorite Who album, because it might be my 2nd favorite album ever. It's up there with Queen II, AFTK, Foxtrot, The Resistance, Animals, Ziggy Stardust, all the best records...and to be honest it's definitely better than a few of the ones I just mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

custom55 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) I lost my ticket stub from this show but I still have my badge/pin. The Who at The Spectrum, Philly 1973. Slept out overnight at the box office to get good seats. Freshman year of college and I most likely didn't make it classes the next day. We were on the floor, in the middle. Loud as hell.
