The equipment was costly and didn’t catch on, but for a time in the early 1970s, it was a luxury item for audiophiles. My favourite album of all time and the origin of my username, this four-sided album is The Who at their best.

The film caused a brief revival of Mod music and styles at the end of the 70s, but one element of the story that’s not so clear to anyone who’s only watched the film is: what does that title mean?

In November 2012, the Who started a U.S. tour of Quadrophenia, dubbed " Quadrophenia and More". The group played the entire album without any guest singers or announcements with the then regular Who line-up (including Starkey and bassist Pino Palladino, who replaced Entwistle following his death in 2002) along with five additional musicians. The tour included additional video performances, including Moon singing "Bell Boy" from 1974 and Entwistle's bass solo in "5:15" from 2000. [77] After Starkey injured his wrist, session drummer Scott Devours replaced him for part of the tour with minimal rehearsal. [78] [79] [80] The tour progressed, with Devours drumming, to the UK in 2013, ending in a performance at Wembley Arena in July. [81] The narrative centres on a young working-class mod named Jimmy. He likes drugs, beach fights and romance, [5] and becomes a fan of the Who after a concert in Brighton, [6] but is disillusioned by his parents' attitude towards him, dead-end jobs and an unsuccessful trip to see a psychiatrist. [5] He clashes with his parents over his usage of amphetamines, [6] and has difficulty finding regular work and doubts his own self-worth, [7] quitting a job as a dustman after only two days. [6] Though he is happy to be "one" of the mods, he struggles to keep up with his peers, and his girlfriend leaves him for his best friend.

The underlying idea here is contrast. Contrast between songs - "I'm One" is 100% acoustic calm, while "5:15" is powered by bombastic brass, and "The Real Me" starts the album off in a most perfectly chaotic way. Contrast also happens inside the songs - between Roger's bold, strong voice and Pete's soft, heartfelt vocals. This contrast reflects Jimmy's internal conflict, the different voices in his head. But through this point and counterpoint, album stays cohesive - while the story does require a little reading (there is not much "dialogue"), the revisiting of themes keep it familiar.
