very happy I was a young man at this time and got to grow up with The Who. The farther I get along in this life the more I am amazed by their contribution to music in the past 55 years. The music teetered on secular and spiritual topics, and this was rock and roll! It was music that affected your soul and made you think about the heavy stuff. Add that to the talent and musicianship of this band. For me this music has been a blessing to my life.
Quadrophenia is one of the great classics from the time for all of time.
I agree... the 1973 album is a true classic, and I listen to it frequently. The 1979 movie was less impressive, although I would still class it as one of favourite movies in terms of the cinematography, but the soundtrack was disappointing. It would have been much better if the soundtrack were more based around the original 1973 album. I think this would have had far more impact as the 1973 album was pure class. For me the mod culture was all there visually in the movie, and although the 1973 album was more rock based, the music and lyrics carried the emotion of the story so much better. It's a dilemma I guess, and I imagine when the 1973 songs were written, the Who maybe didn't appreciate just how seminal the Quadrophenia story would become when the mod revival emerged a few years later, but they saw an opportunity to make a movie and make some cash, and they mixed the movie up with a few tracks off the 1973 album, and some 60's classics to recreate the mod moment, but unfortunately this diluted the story which is SO well told in the original 1973 album. One day I would love to see a new Quadrophenia movie which uses ALL of the tracks off the original album, and tells the story through the music, as originally intended.
@@jonnyrocket3659 great idea! a modern quadrophenia done right would be fantastic. let's hope PT is reading this. But let me say one more time, the album is just so moving in so many ways. take care
It's amazing to me that this incredible piece of music came out of such logistic and personal upheaval. All the more impressive
Life has a way of getting in the way of Art. Bloody Awesome record.my favorite .
An exceptional conception album by Pete.
How can you not understand him he’s talking clearly to me,great interview
Just the most remarkable music i have ever heard I listened to the whole thing again today front to back and it brings a tear to my eye Never to be matched even by todays standards Pete of course not only one of 4 top flight magnificent musicians but architect of engineering and master of lyric story Just superb
Really interesting to watch this .thank you
LOL, so many comments about Barney's incoherence. This guy is no journo, he was a good friend of The Who. I think the interviewer probably just asked him about his recollections regarding the album and it all came off the top of his head.....plus a few pints probably added to the disorganized thoughts lol. But, hey, I understood him and I am a Yank!
Phenomenal work of art
So a lousy recording became one of the greatest albums of all time...🤗
One of the Greatest rock albums ever released.
For me, it was Townsend's ceiling in the Sistine Chapel...
Wow, great insight
Lots of people complaining they can't understand Barney? That's a problem, obviously, but I got every word. Those struggling, are you none-English?
maybe it adds to the mystery of the album that the sound quality sucks. it's a classic
Love Quadrophenia, have a Quadrophenia tattoo, but it’s a shitty flat mix. It’s sounds black and white and totally two dimensional. I wasn’t impressed with the remixed version either. It’s a shame that such a masterpiece didn’t get the treatment it deserved.
Totally agree, they should have brought in a decent producer.
nice
For those of you who are complely deaf, the captions might help you out...
missing money - in the music business(?) never happens mate
Ahhh Quadrophenia.....One of the best albums of the 70s, the best album that The Who ever made, and sadly the last time The Who made a good album, it was their pinnacle of being a great band but sadly it was all downhill after that 👍
No, I think WHO ARE YOU was very good, along with the two others with Kenny Jones.
Who by numbers underrated classic too (apart from the sound production)
Hi do you have part 2 of this doc? I'm trying to watch it online and can't
He only comes out when I drink my gin
Haha thats witty comment!
With the Rolling Stones truck thing just outside.
No, it was Ronnie Lane's.
@@johnman3272 May we say the late, much missed, much loved and enormously talented Ronnie Lane, rest his soul?
Huh?
He talks like boxes rolling down stairs
😂
did anybody understand that guy?
Yes. I did.
Absolutely. Used to work for an English record company
Yup,nice to hear with an English accent, innit
Yep.
This is one of the many reasons why The Who's records sound like shit. I just don't understand why the band was so obsessed with mucking about with makeshift studios. Why didn't they just record at Olympic Studios, Advison Studios, Abbey Road Studios, etc. If they wanted to record away from Britain there was Musicland in Munich, Sunset Sound in L.A. Great sounding rooms with great equipment. It's really a shame that such wonderful material sounds like garbage. Quadrophenia is one of my favorite records, and yet it just sounds like crap.
the first mix of Quad.. yeah.. it missed. The remix is amazing. As for the rest of the records... well, they did, except for the Who By Numbers and Who Are You.. both of which sound great. Nothing wrong with a bit of ambition.
heftosprod who’s next sounds bad?
Matt Smith When I was a kid I had no idea Who’s Next was as old as it was, it sounded incredibly fresh to me. Listening now and having listened to a tonne of music from different times, yes you can hear some of its age but it still sounds fantastic. A remix of Who’s Next (as long as it’s done right) might improve it sonically but might also sterilise some of its sound
@@ThemeParkChomp It was remixed in 1996.
Like the mumbling drunk at the end of the bar...you can make out just a bit of what he's saying, but not enough to understand the story he's trying to tell you.
i understand clearly, maybe because i am also a drunk English man lol
Me too.
Hell I'm deaf I understood him!
Didn't understand a word of that. Got some other guys commenting that it isn't the least bit difficult to understand. Rubbish
Eddie O'Neill fek you were not around at the time
Anybody who was around that part of London at that time would find that perfectly normal speech and vocabulary. But yes, it can sound a bit mumbled, especially to the American ear I have noticed.
Weird. Got every word.
Get your ears cleaned out
