COLOR WAX TWO LP 1973 LIVE QUADROPHENIA
THE WHO
TALES OF THE WHO
PRIVATE PRESS
RARE Ages olde original first pressing 2-LP set in striking PURPLE/BLACK RED BLACK two-tone combo COLOR VINYL
This album has long been highly rated as one of the great underground WHO rarities containing superb soundboard quality and getting the mighty WHO at their best, recorded 40 years ago
The set begins with a thrilling version of I Can t Explain. Followed by a rip roaring Summertime Blues in which Daltrey says, Thank you Philly. and jumps into a powerful MY GENERATION ... The rest of the show is taken up with their latest magnum opusat the time, the songs from the then new album Quadrophenia. Pete Townshend begins the narrative by explaining, Now we d like to play for you the better part of an album -- what we wrote about, something that is very dear to us when we were little. it s a story about a mod kid and we call it Quadrophenia, since there are four of us. It s sort of an in joke. Being mod meant a lot more in England than it ever did in America. I think you think of it as a Carnaby Street bullshit thing. And it s not just a looking back, but a bringing up to date. Quadrophenia is about where we are today and maybe you too. The story is set on a rock in the middle of a stormy sea. Quadraphonic, of course. The story of Jimmy. The wooshes of waves and sea fill the speakers during the I Am The Sea as a prelude before the raging fury of The Real Me ...then on through highlighted versions of Quadrophenia. Including Drowned lasting about ten minutes long and includes some inspired jamming in between Daltrey s screams of drowned ... Townshend and Entwistle have fun playing their games off of one another and thankfully this recording is well balanced enough to bring that out. Keith Moon gets his time in the spotlight in Bell Boy, providing the Cockney voice for Ace-Face and his joy at being a bell boy.
Doctor Jimmy is a very dramatic eight minutes long.
Won t Get Fooled Again is in excellent quality and the set ends with two tracks from Tommy. Pinball Wizard is introduced as Pineball Blizzard and is followed by See Me, Feel Me. The jamming ignites into such intensity that Townshend destroys his Les Paul at the song s conclusion and the listener is left with undifferentiated feedback and fuzz and a very exausted band at the end.
