This is for Jan 30, 2026, #KidThe Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979
I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)
One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.
They fucking kill it.

The Who, Quadrophenia, 1973 on MCA
Not to be confused with the Quadrophenia soundtrack, which followed the 1979 film, this is the sixth studio album from The Who, a 2xLP release from 1973 on Track Records in the UK. It followed Tommy and Who’s Next.
Like Tommy, it’s a rock opera telling the story of a mod named Jimmy, who says in the liner notes:
Schizophrenic? I’m Bleeding Quadrophenic
I love the iconic mod parka on a vespa scooter with the faces of the band in the mirrors: photo by Graham Hughes from an idea by Roger Daltry.
My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1980 or later Pickneyville Pressing with the rainbow MCA labels and “©”1980 MCA Records Inc.” in the rim text. The fourth side does not include “Record 1 Side 4” notation – not sure if that’s a misprint or manufacturing error.

That’s better. This is a 1972 US Gloversville plant pressing and (after the clean) sounds incredible. Getting fewer and further between but bargains can still be found! #vinyl #xp #JohnEntwistle

New #review today: "#JohnEntwistle’s bass playing was integral to the music of #TheWho, but he was only responsible for writing a handful of the group’s songs. But some of those songs were among the most memorable in The Who’s catalog, and were staples of their live shows. Sing Wistle Tunes is an homage to Entwistle’s songwriting, featuring 17 tracks done by #ExNorwegian along with various guests." #ExposeOnline #ClassicRock #PsychedelicRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/ex-norwegian-and-friends-sing-wistle-tunes-2.html

il 9 Ottobre 1944 nasceva #JohnEntwistle, lo storico bassista degli #Who. Mentre Roger Daltrey saltava e roteava il microfono, Pete Townshend sfasciava la sua chitarra contro gli amplificatori e Keith Moon faceva esplodere la batteria, John si faceva notare per la sua compostezza.
La rivista Rolling Stone lo inserisce alla prima posizione nella classifica dei migliori bassisti #rock. Sarà vero? Verifichiamolo (dal min 1.25): Baba O'Riley isolated bass (live) https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=96TjWtm7kSQ #music -
