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.

The Who Sell Out
The Who release their third album on December 15, 1967. It's a concept album many believe is their homage to pirate radio -- fancied by the mods of London in the 60's. It's #113 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
No I don't need to be forgiven
No no no no no no no!And some excellent Keith Moon on the Sticks!

News Flash! Who Back Zak! - The Who 🇬🇧
"Roger and I would like Zak to tighten up his latest evolved drumming style to accommodate our non-orchestral line up and he has readily agreed. I take responsibility for some of the confusion."
"We are a family, this blew up very quickly and got too much oxygen. It’s over. We move forward now with optimism and fire in our bellies." - Pete Townshend 19 April 2025
