    Like Pink Floyd, this work Quadrophenia should be listened to as a complete work. Musical themes reoccur and weave in and out throughout the work. It is a rock opera!

    The Who is the only group that features a lead singer, Roger Daltry, a lead guitar, Pete Townsend, a lead bass John "the Ox" Entwhistle (also known as Thunderfingers), and a lead drummer Keith "the Loon" Moon. Pete was also the major songwriter for the group, arranger and keyboardist. Fun fact, the Muppet drummer Animal was modeled after Moon.

      Along with the Mighty Keith Moon, Ian Paice from Deep Purple can also qualify as an inspiration for "Animal" on the Muppet Show as well. Check him out on Deep Purple's fantastic two-album live set "Made In Japan" (Rel: 1973) for more.

      Pete was much more of a rhythm guitarist (not really in this song) which was very complimentary to the lead style of the bass and drums. He more less invented the power chords, mic/amp feedback, and even the sounds of guitar smashing (not to mention the visual effects), but none-the-less his rhythmic guitar style was also was lead in many songs.

    This album is incredible (especially Keith Moon on drums). This song is an overture, with pieces of each song. Please explore the album! The song that got your attention is 'Love, Reign O'er Me" and it's a vocal tour de force for Roger Daltrey.

    Love your reactions! This track incorporates the four themes of the Quadrophenia album, which appear throughout the album. Each of the band members is associated with a theme. Every song on this album is fantastic, but it's best to listen to concept albums (and most albums from the 70s) in their entirety. Please, please, please play the title track of the concept masterpiece The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway by Genesis with Peter Gabriel.

    The Album Quadrophenia is a "Rock Opera" by The Who. Though some songs stand alone as singles the whole album is meant to be listed to as one piece of work - so some songs may be transitional tunes meant to connect one part of the Opera to another - working well in the context of the whole album but not necessarily standing on their own.

  • @izzonj
    @izzonj ปีที่แล้ว +5

    This piece serves as what would normally be the opening overture to a musical or opera - an instrumental number that introduces the main musical themes of the entire work. It's placement as the 3rd piece on the album is unorthodox, as they choose to open with a soundscape of recorded sounds to aurally set the location and then "The Real Me", to introduce Jimmy, the protagonist. The word "Quadrophenia" is a play on schizophrenia, but with 4 personalities*.
    The piece presents the 4 musical themes which each represent one of the 4 sides of Jimmy's personality, and which also represents the personalities of one of the members of The Who.
    It's all really brilliant.
    *And yes, schizophrenia is commonly used to mean a split personality, but that is not the correct meaning in psychology.

When you hear the entire album, any Overture really hits home because you then realize they patched together segments of the whole album.

    You guys are great, but so you know, this album, along with Tommy, are "rock operas". They tell a story and frequently reprise pieces throughout the composition. Not meant to be played as random tracks bc you lose the context that's been set up. Pink Floyd's Dark Side and the Wall are two other examples. Many YES songs also followed these symphony-like trips. And that's what they were meant to be- trips. They say if you remember it you weren't there. I was there, but the flashbacks are still awesome.

    This gives you the four themes/personalities throughout the story. Great movie was made based on this album. Check it out if you can.

    The Who was another great band, great writing, and so good live! I saw them twice in the 90s and they were among the best shows I ever saw! They really did carve out their own path. Like Floyd, Allmans, Yes or Rush, the Dead, they did their own things. Another great pick guys!

    Brilliant album. Pete Townsend is one of the great British Invasion artists. To get a sense of how powerful a band they were. You must view Young Man Blues, live at The Isle of Wight video. 1970 I believe. Thank you gents for another fun viewing. Do take care.

    This album and Tommy are best if listened all the way through.. There's a long story to both albums.

    I think Keith Moon is the most interesting rock drummer of all time. He's relentlessly inventive. This album is his showcase. Listen to "The Real Me" sometime for further proof.

    😂🤣😂 It sounds familiar because you've reacted to 'Love, Reign o'er Me' by them a month ago! 🤫 It's basically the song without the words. 🤗 Also why it's ok to do a bunch of songs in 1 sitting even if you post them months apart. 🤔 I bet if you heard this and LRoM in the same sitting, you would have made the connection. 🥰🐰

    This, like Tommy, was more of a rock opera concept album. So this song was an overture highlighting pieces of the rest of the album just like a Broadway play would do or a Mozart Opera would do

    Pete Townshend was 20 years old when he wrote Tommy. He was 23/24 when he wrote this.

    Quadrophenia is a Rock Opera (like Tommy).. If you really want to experience it you must listen to the original recording (and read the liner notes!!)... There are many more version but they all have extra songs or change the order (not good for an opera)..

  • @billwilson7948

    Nice touch on the album cover …. Look into those 4 mirrors … 4 band members = 4 personalities trying to meld into one band; Pete writes a story about a kid w/ 4 personalities, fighting to meld into one whole person === “Quadrophenia” .

    The reason it changes up so much is that it has elements of all the songs on the album. It follows the flow of the movie. You have to remember - this is a "Rock Opera" the entire album tells a story- this is the "table of contents" as you will.

  • @neillenet291

    It's the "reign O'er me" refrain

    You should continue with the entire album. Don’t worry about the number of songs, many are short pieces, it’s a rock opera. This was the overture to the entire double album. It’s a classic and an essential listen to anyone who wants to understand the history of rock, especially what was happening in the 70’s. Great way to start the day.🔥✌️
