    Jimi's outro solo in Axis: Bold as Love is my all time favourite.

    I also love the coda to "Seven and Seven ls". It's all about the tremolo guitar and it always will be, in my 'verse.
    Some choices of mine: "New Age" by the Velvet Underground. "It's the beginning of a new age..." with the organ into the fade.
    "Party Up" by Prince. "You're gonna have to fight your own damn war. 'cause we don't want to fight no more!"
    Hell yeah. I saw Prince and the Revolution play it on SNL in 1981. I was loving it until his trenchcoat fell open to reveal his black bikini panties. I wasn't quite ready for THAT, yet. But it didn't take me long.

    Love this video,Tom. By the way,Odds and Sods is in my top 3 Who lps, hardly a collection of outtakes to these ears. Just a couple tunes floating through my head, though I don't know if you would consider them codas: Dialogue by Chicago and the odd final bars of a couple of 45's I had as a kid, Eli's Coming by Three Dog Night and Tomorrow by Strawberry Alarm Clock.

    Excellent topic my friend -
    Spanky & Our Gang / Like To Get To Know You (hauntingly beautiful fade out)
    The First Edition / Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) The volume pulses in and out.
    TRAFFIC / Mr. Fantasy (from the "Heaven Is In Your Mind" album) The coda is called "We're Afade You Missed This", which is actually an excerpt from the song "Paper Sun" BTW: This album is the pure definition of "headphones required". The album has very subtle sound bites of other songs on the album between each cut -- no dead space.
    West, Bruce & Laing / Third Degree (3 minutes hard blues followed by 1 minute aggressive rock)
    The Great Pretender / Brian Eno (continuous track loop that locks the synthesized sound of crickets)
    Suggestion: Songs that end abruptly ---- I have quite a few.

    • @paulgoldstein2569
      @paulgoldstein2569 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It has appeared as a bonus track on the box set reissue. An inferior take appeared as a bonus on previous CD reissues of Who's Next. But The Who recorded so many great outtakes which have appeared on CD or box set reissues of their albums, that they could have released more albums. But maybe they felt after recording these outtakes that they can only release so many albums, as a lot of youngsters could not afford albums.

    What a fascinating idea, Tom🎉 Great choices too.
    When I started to watch this video I instantly thought of "Strawberry Fields Forever", one of the first singles I bought on the day it was issued back in 67. Coming home I was in for a surprise: the coda didn't lconnect with the rest of John's slong. My first reactionl was to return the record as it obviously seemed to be a faulty pressing😅😂

    Tom, thank you for mentioning Chicago's Beginnings song. The finale of that song was such a cool jam, with excellent latino inspired percussion, CTA was their best album, and they could have become on of the best jam bands, if they hadn't sold out into the smarmy MOR music led by Peter Cetera.

    My add is from XTC who sometimes overstuff their songs with middle eights and unique outros but a couple of deep cut favourites are the "Londonium' coda from 'Towers of London', the beautiful Dave Gregory guitar outro / coda from 'Humble Daisy' and his church organ solo on 'The Ugly Underneath'' - they should have forgot about the 'ugly underneath' bits of the song and just stuck to the church organ coda.

    On A Plain is also my favorite Nirvana song and that coda is really cool. Not sure if this counts but Costello's Man Out Of Time has this jarring intro that is similar to the outro (coda). I didn't describe that well, but i know you know what I'm talking about - totally insane arrangement

    I'm not sure you're being consistent about what qualifies as a coda, but ok.
    I hate to bring up my favorite hobby-horse again, but I think there's a pretty nice coda to Van Dyke Parks' "The All Golden", on his Song Cycle album. The song fades out, and is replaced by a distant train sound, and the barely discernable voice of a brakeman (?), saying, "djagitit? awright". Works for me.

    Regarding Crown of Creation at the end, Jack Casady is chording his bass C to B flat. It has an almost piano sound. The only thing that I figure out is that he is using the back side of his finger nails so the notes ring out. On another note, Paul Kantner borrowed heavily from The Chrysalids by John Wyndham lyrically.

    A good future video subject would have been tracks that sounded a million times better without the drums, and in many cases, to more than compensate, you get the full unfaded endings for the first time, never before heard by the public.
    Here are examples by The Who where you won't hear Keith Moon.
    th-cam.com/video/H-mPbA369Tk/w-d-xo.html
    Here, parts of Pete's guitar are also missing, and you get the full unfaded ending.
    th-cam.com/video/HCBFf0gBWGw/w-d-xo.html
    Here, You also get the full end which was trimmed off in the Tommy double to make it join easier with the next track.
    th-cam.com/video/CIR7vA3L7Ns/w-d-xo.html
    You once said The Who should have packed in as soon as they lost Keith Moon, when in reality, they should have carried on without a drummer.
    What about Dire Straits' immortal and evergreen Money For Nothing, which here, not only lacks the drums, but also part of the intro which was previously too long, but to more than compensate, you get the full unfaded ending with a previously unheard long guitar solo at the end.
    th-cam.com/video/JpCiIUhxgbc/w-d-xo.html
    and Walk Of Life with no drums, but an extra long unfaded ending
    th-cam.com/video/5e9hdUGTr5s/w-d-xo.html
    Here are three other examples, two from The Bee Gees, both also with full unfaded endings
    th-cam.com/video/DuNRevQW5EU/w-d-xo.html

    th-cam.com/video/0hywp178uOQ/w-d-xo.html
    th-cam.com/video/ahxPaW1uwek/w-d-xo.html
    With all of these, you can hear the rest of the instrumentation better without those irritating drums. Did any group need a drummer apart from The Who and Cream.
    Here, you get The Rolling Stones' Gimme Shelter, not only drumless and with it's full ending, but Mick Jagger and Merry Clayton are brought upfront here, whereas on the previous mix, their vocals were buried as though they were shut out of the door, struggling to be heard.
