Townshend now considers Quadrophenia to be the last great album that the Who recorded. In 2011, he said the group "never recorded anything that was so ambitious or audacious again", and implied that it was the last album to feature good playing by Keith Moon. [58] Live performances [ edit ] 1973–1974 tour [ edit ] 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] Grow, Kory (17 April 2014).

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. Critical reaction to Quadrophenia was positive. Melody Maker 's Chris Welch wrote "rarely have a group succeeded in distilling their essence and embracing a motif as convincingly", while Charles Shaar Murray described the album in New Musical Express as the "most rewarding musical experience of the year". [49] Reaction in the US was generally positive, though Dave Marsh, writing in Creem gave a more critical response. [49] Lenny Kaye, wrote in Rolling Stone that "the Who as a whole have never sounded better" but added, "on its own terms, Quadrophenia falls short of the mark". [50] In a year-end top albums list for Newsday, Robert Christgau ranked it seventh, and found it exemplary of how 1973's best records "fail to reward casual attention. They demand concentration, just like museum and textbook art." [51] Tommy and Quadrophenia: Live". AllMusic. Archived from the original on 29 July 2014 . Retrieved 9 February 2015.

It was an early attempt to create “SurroundSound” using four speakers rather than the usual two for stereo. 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 version is identical to this listing except for the "320 ending" is missing on the side B runout and the rim text is German. The other listing with the German rim text has completely different matrix/runouts. Is there a mistake here? Neill, Andrew; Kent, Matthew (2002).

Some people say that this is the best and definitive version of the original Quadrophenia mix. Others said that this pressing is bad, with pressing noises or that the first record is excelent sounding and the second is too bright and too noisy. I don't know, i would like to listen but is expensive. If you guys tell me that is the way too go i will pull the trigger.
