I now adore you to the point where you rate higher than my F2F BFFs. We love the same music! My favorite Who song is "The Music Must Change", and it has always hurt my heart that Roger wouldn't sing it live.
I can never listen to "Won't Get Fooled Again" without listening to the whole thing without interruptions. The kids, now adults, know every note. More important, they know when they can get out of the car.
Thank you for everything you do to shed light and impart your perspective on matters of national concern. Going Mobile is my favorite on the Whos's Next album. My Wife is pretty entertaining.
Huge fan here. I saw them first time in '75 and several more times. last time was in '18. Mary's right about their 3 best albums. Who's Next is their crowning achievement but Quadrophenia holds a special place in my heart
The greatest live band ever. Hard to believe 3 musicians could create that much sound. It was like all 3 , including Moon, played lead. All due respect to Mick Jagger but Daltrey was a force of nature himself. Favorite song.. hard to pick one but Can’t Explain is the one that got me hooked.
Excellent piece on The Who. Agreed- impossible to pick one track from Quadrophenia but I’ve always loved ‘Sea and Sand.’ - We could also throw in the greatest live rock recording (Live at Leeds) for, quite easily, the greatest 4-album run ever - Tommy, Leeds, Who’s Next, Quadrophenia.
In many other Countries, the January 6th attempted coup d'état at Our Capital would have been taken SERIOUSLY! NOT IN AMERICA Though. Anywhere else, there would have already been hangings of the Leader/Leaders of the attempted overthrow of our Government and all others involved in any way would already be serving long prison sentences for their traitorous crimes.
NOT IN OUR SICK COUNTRY! The Leader of the attempted Coup was THE Serving President of The United States. This Criminal, Sick Traitor is still free and is Outrageously Permitted to Run For President/Dictator AGAIN!!! In the past, wasn't the Guillotine used in these instances? America started Dying when Donald tRump was placed in The White House and The "Death Knell" is ringing for America right now.
Thank You Mary, but without a "so called miracle" the end is drawing near for our Country.
Yeeessss, girl! I have been a devoted fan of the Who since the 70s. It wasn't really all that cool for a woman to be into the Who, they of the muscular, macho rock n' roll (oh those whirling arms, those smashing guitars) but f*ck it, I was all there!
There are too many favorite Who songs to name, but I'll choose "Baba O'Riley" as one of the best car-driving songs of all time. I cranked it up and drove the highway back to Uni, singing along and pounding the steering wheel. Man, those were the days.
The Who was the first rock concert I attended ...San Diego in 1971. Blew me away and I’ll never forget it. I have many favorites, but I’d say that for the times right now...”Won’t Get Fooled Again”..
I was 15 years old the first time I saw The Who at Wedgewood amusement park. I think the admission fee was something like five bucks. The performance took place on the roof of the concession stand on scorching summer day in Oklahoma. The oppressive sun reigns supreme in that part of the country, continually casting its oppressive rays upon the vast sea of brown grass that comprises the summer landscape.
The band was young and sweaty. Their amps sounded cheap and tinny. Still, they were one delightful explosion of creative energy that thrilled me to the marrow. It was Keith Moon’s birthday and he was presented with a sheet cake, which he promptly started throwing toward the audience. I was thrilled to have been smacked in the head twice!
I saw them again last October. My photo of the concert showed a sea of overweight men with bald heads (almost asleep) in the audience. A roadie for the band invited me to Seattle, where I remained up close and personal with the band for two days, sharing food, laughter and an unforgettable time that I cannot discuss because I was (everyone there was) presented with an NDA. I did take some excellent photos of Townsend, though.

Tommy production out of Chicago will be opening in March at the Nederlander Theater.
Good reviews.
A favorite would be "Pure and Easy," from Odds & Sods. An outtake from the Who's Next sessions.
They were amazing performing Tommy, at the old Fillmore East.

My favorites are the little-known gems, “I Don’t Even Know Myself” and “Naked Eye”
