With so Wont Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia biographies of bands and artists covering their entire careers, I've developed a particular passion for books that look at more defined parts of that career. This one such book that examines The Who at what is undoubtedly the height of their powers but which was equally fraught and challenging for all concerned. Of course, this means that issues are Wont Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia at a depth which perhaps make it geek territory but I'm happily guilty as charged in this instance. It's anazing to read at With so many biographies of bands and artists covering their entire careers, I've developed a particular passion for books that look at more defined parts of that career. It's anazing to read at more than 40 years remove some of the self-critical comments about Who's Next which is one of the great rock albums but which Townshend in particular has always felt ambivalent towards. Likewise on the challenges of performing Quadrophenia live when this has been a terrific live showcase in recent years. Jun 13, Bruce Kirby rated it it was amazing. As a Who fan you'll love this behind the scenes look into the band's high point and what really went down. Mod or rocker, you can't deny the influence of the Who. Oct 13, Lincoln rated it liked it. I love all things Who, but I found this a little boring at times. I guess there is a level of detail about their career beyond which even I don't really care. It was well researched, though.

A history Wont Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia The Who after Tommy. Detailed description of Lifehouse - Pete Townshend's failed attempt to combine music, movie, and concerts into a transformative multimedia experience. Even though nobody especially the other band members could understand the plot or much of anything else about project, most of the songs ended up on one of their greatest albums ever - Who's Next. Then Pete started working on his next project, based on memories of their early days playing for the English Mods - A history of The Who after Tommy. Then Pete started Wont Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia on his next project, based on memories of their early days playing for the English Mods - young, sharp-dressed, scooter riding kids from the coastal towns in England - as far as I can tell as an American born a generation later. The book goes into the development of the album Quadrophenia, its accompanying photo book, and the subsequent concert tours and movie. The book also goes a little into Pete's experimentation with synthesizers, and his association with the ARP synthesizer company. WGFA delivers on exactly what its title promises: a blow-by-blow account of The Who during the 3-year period between Tommy and just after the release of Quadrophenia. It's enjoyable for what it is. I kind of wished that I was in grad school and had just finished a huge paper, my dissertation or something, and rewarded myself by getting to finally read this. This is non-essential reading of the highest order. It doesn't really draw any larger conclusions or tie in to Wont Get Fooled Again: The Who from Lifehouse to Quadrophenia else in the rock world; WGFA delivers on exactly what its title promises: a blow-by-blow account of The Who during the 3-year period between Tommy and just after the release of Quadrophenia. It doesn't really draw any larger conclusions or tie in to much else in the rock world; this is a straight-ahead, deeply reported story of how Who's Next and Quadrophenia came to be. I don't doubt that Unterberger is a fan, but he doesn't read like one. Most of the book is compiled from news interviews, which in the world of The Who are innumerable. But the thoroughness sometimes works against itself: sources contradict themselves or are wildly confused about what's going on, to the point that a neatly laid-out chronology of events, which this is, has the effect of a big mess. This book seems to be less about the works themselves and more like a prosecutor's case that The Who's career plans were as chaotic offstage as they were on. Which is funny, fitting, and cool. This is not a loving recap of how grand the genius was, and it doesn't favor mythical adjectives and verbs to describe those live shows.

  • "The Who Sings My Generation" (Album)
    “The Who Sings My Generation”—The Who (1966) Added to the National Registry: 2008 Essay by Cary O’Dell Original album Original label The Who Founded in England in 1964, Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon are, collectively, better known as The Who. As a group on the pop-rock landscape, it’s been said that The Who occupy a rebel ground somewhere between the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, while, at the same time, proving to be innovative, iconoclastic and progressive all on their own. We can thank them for various now- standard rock affectations: the heightened level of decadence in rock (smashed guitars and exploding drum kits, among other now almost clichéd antics); making greater use of synthesizers in popular music; taking American R&B into a decidedly punk direction; and even formulating the idea of the once oxymoronic sounding “rock opera.” Almost all these elements are evident on The Who’s debut album, 1966’s “The Who Sings My Generation.” Though the band—back when they were known as The High Numbers—had a minor English hit in 1964 with the singles “I’m the Face”/”Zoot Suit,” it wouldn’t be until ’66 and the release of “My Generation” that the world got a true what’s what from The Who. “Generation,” steam- powered by its title tune and timeless lyric of “I hope I die before I get old,” “Generation” is a song cycle worthy of its inclusive name. Twelve tracks make up the album: “I Don’t Mind,” “The Good’s Gone,” “La-La-La Lies,” “Much Too Much,” “My Generation,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Please, Please, Please,” “It’s Not True,” “The Ox,” “A Legal Matter” and “Instant Party.” Allmusic.com summarizes the album appropriately: An explosive debut, and the hardest mod pop recorded by anyone.

  • 'Tommy,' New Insights Into Pete Townshend
    What about the boy? In 'Tommy,' new insights into Pete Townshend Chris Jones CHICAGO TRIBUNE cjon es5​@chicagotribune.com JANUARY 22, 2015, 6:00 AM hen, in 1975, the movie director Ken Russell turned "Tommy," an album by The Who, into a film, W catapulting the Pinball Wizard to further glory, he made one particularly notable change: He switched the period of the rock opera from the years following World War I to the years following World War II. This necessitated changing the title of one of Pete Townshend's rock numbers ("1921" became "1951"), but the benefit was not just a more contemporary milieu (back in '75, at least) but a period that more closely charted Townshend's own life. That change was continued when "Tommy" became a Broadway musical in 1993, directed by Des McAnuff. (The stage version of "Tommy" has played the Chicago area many times over the years, including productions by the Circle Theatre and now-defunct White Horse Theatre, as well as a memorable stint for McAnuff's road show at the Auditorium Theatre in 1999.) The stage musical, adapted from what always has been a very loose plot, is set in the years after World War II, suggesting that the conflict ripped families and marriages apart. In the case of "Tommy," we see a husband and father shot down by the enemy. His wife thinks he is dead and takes another lover. When her husband returns, he violently confronts the lover, which is what sets his little boy, Tommy, off on his trajectory. Told that he saw, heard and felt nothing, he takes those instructions to heart.

  • Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia Announces A
    Pete Townshend’s Classic Quadrophenia Announces a Limited Run of U.S. Tour Stops This September Orchestral Rendition of The Who’s Iconic Rock Opera to Feature Music Legends Pete Townshend, Billy Idol, and Alfie Boe Public On-Sale Starts June 13 at LiveNation.com LOS ANGELES, CA (June 6, 2017) The Who’s Pete Townshend is transporting Classic Quadrophenia to U.S. audiences this September for a series of four special performances featuring music legends Pete Townshend, Billy Idol, and acclaimed tenor Alfie Boe. Townshend conceptualized an experience unlike any other by blending The Who’s timeless album Quadrophenia with orchestral accompaniment. The London world premiere at Royal Albert Hall electrified audiences and will now be replicated in Lenox, MA, New York, NY and Los Angeles, CA only! The extraordinary musical journey kicks off September 2 in Lenox with the Boston Pops Orchestra and conductor Keith Lockhart. The New York and Los Angeles performances will be led by conductor Robert Ziegler, and the LA show on September 16 will support Teen Cancer America with a portion of proceeds going to the charity. “I’m thrilled to be bringing Classic Quadrophenia stateside through the month of September,” Townshend said. “Melding the contrasting sounds of Quadrophenia with a symphony has been a really unique and powerful way to reach a wide audience of classical and pop music lovers alike. I couldn’t be more excited to see it continue in the U.S.” The Who’s historic rock opera Quadrophenia was originally released as an extensive double album in 1973 and has stood the test of time as a conceptual work honoring the Mod movement.
