I don't believe any band pulled off the essence of a concept album like The Who. Sure there are some good ones...but The Who did it more than once.

I couldn't agree more! A real masterpiece! I took my 17 yr old daughter to see them tour this album about a month ago, because she told me it was one of two concerts she would ever want to see in her life. The legend  does live on. And while it wasn't as outstanding as it was in past tours of Quadrophenia, those guys still have it!

Had to go; first date w/ my wife (still) was Tommy in 1969.  Boston University homecoming.
 

Saw the show in Nashville in December.  Young Starkey was GREAT!

Well the first incarnations of each started around the same time in the 60s but what I really wonder is what this person is hearing that bring name Fleetwood Mac, in any incarnation, to mind?

Bill didn't play them together this time. I have to go dig my album out to listen to rest. That is so mean to lift the needle so soon.

I haven't read all 14 pages of comments so maybe someone has mentioned it before, but I always loved the credits on this album

Roger Daltry: vocals
Keith Moon: drums
John Entwhistle: bass
Peter Townsend: remainder

On my way to get to work, my radio played "Love, reign o' me": this song resembles that song.
Great song, however!

Don't forget there is a movie "Quadrophenia" featuring The Who and starring Sting, before the Police...

The electric keyboard place this rigth in its period
There is something nostalgic in listening to it

I saw this movie back in the 80s. One of the "content warnings" was "Strong British accents". Pretty funny, I thought...{#Cheers}

Three Who in a row: "I am the Sea," "The Real Me," and "Quadrophenia." I was starting to think we were going to listen to the whole album (which would've been just fine!).

One of the best rock albums of all time. Eddie Vedder doesn't swear by it for naught. I used to fall asleep to it with my Koss headphones on, circa 1979.

My favorite album of all time.  I've loved it since I was 15 years old, and I just turned 48 on Sunday.  The best, to me, even now.

Great track from an unparalleled album. Great passion, dynamics and superb melodies. Couple with a theme that just about makes sense (unlike Tommy!). Keith Moon is IMHO the greatest drummer in rock, driving this whole album along with passion and power. He truly is Animal...

The Who 3 times in a row? If I was on MSN using that plugin which shows what Im listening probably a would win some points with a friend who is crazy about them. {#Lol}

Both the song and the album are beyond fantastic.

For those people that don't like it, or even hate it, nothing I write will have a chance to change that. 

I will just say that I think Pete and The Who captured the unspoken feelings of every confused, sensitive, emotional teenage boy better than anyone ever has with this album.  And I thank them for it.

Great music to write by...

 
Had to smile. In grad school, I wrote a play set in a beach house, so I put on this album when I first started working on it. Every morning, well ... most mornings, I'd put on Quadrophenia and write. And the experience makes me love the album even more — could easily have gone the other way!

They showed it on the beach between a few years ago and I took my kids. There was a great crowd, a decent sound system and lots of cheering when anything 'Brighton' came on . . . especially the fights between the mods and rockers. 

It is an outstanding film if you lived through the era and really captures the feel of the times. 

 

 

Interesting times indeed, I owned a duffle coat and rode a Lambretta 150, but had changed to leathers and a 500cc Triumph before I went to Brighton. Didn't know WTF I was supposed to do.
