Quadrophenia

Product Information

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. A subsequent tour of the US and UK followed, employing most of the same players but with Billy Idol replacing Edmondson, [73] Simon Townshend replacing Gilmour and P.

Moon had a day to recover, and by the next show at the Los Angeles Forum, was playing at his usual strength. Quite simply, on a lyrical and narrative level Quadrophenia makes Tommy look like juvenile, shallow hippy nonsense. The tour included additional video performances, including Moon singing "Bell Boy" from 1974 and Entwistle's bass solo in "5:15" from 2000. Relationships between the group and manager Kit Lambert broke down irretrievably during recording and Lambert had left the band's service by the time the album was released.It is the group's third rock opera, the two previous being the "mini-opera" song " A Quick One, While He's Away" and the album Tommy. The Japan reissue on CBS/SONY 40AP 125960 I will say is second best and easily trounces the Classic Records pressing.

In October 1995, the rock group Phish, with an additional four-man horn section, performed Quadrophenia in its entirety as their second Halloween musical costume at the Rosemont Horizon in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. Writing in Christgau's Record Guide: Rock Albums of the Seventies (1981), Christgau regarded Quadrophenia as more of an opera than Tommy, possessing a brilliantly written albeit confusing plot, jarring but melodic music, and compassionate lyrics about "Everykid as heroic fuckup, smart enough to have a good idea of what's being done to him and so sensitive he gets pushed right out to the edge anyway". this is a very nice GERMAN original copy of this 2 lp classic from 1973, the discs have the track records logo regardless of the fact this was a german press, the contents like the booklet etc are the same as the us and uk. Roger's singing has matured since the mod days too - angry and rash in "Doctor Jimmy" and scared and cynical in "Helpless Dancer".Now with a massively successful US tour opening for sweet soul darlings Thee Sacred Souls behind him, 2023 is sure to be a propitious year for Daptone's newest signee.
