    The 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.

  6. 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.

  19. How about #GuidedByVoices ? They were a pretty cool band. That guy sounded like #RogerDaltry . which i suppose is a general concensus around the #PearlJam camp it'll prob show-up after you play this one:

    Who'd thunk it?

    youtu.be/svFOhgt1WSI?si=SH56pB

    Sad. To me, it's sad. Unless I'm wrong. I'm pretty sure he's as intoxicated as he appears to be, if you believe he appears to be intoxicated.
    Not so much in this vid. But w/ the Pearl Jam... (Babba O..)

    It's just a shame. To me it is.
