    I am scheduled to be in London on April 1st. Would really like to go to this. Someone talk me out of it? I know tickets go on sale tomorrow. What's the price?
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    only a "few times" on quad? seen the movie? u need more... ;)
    here's everything u want to know and more http://www.quadrophenia.net

    call be biased but quad just so happens to be one of the best albums/films/concerts ever made
    nothing even comes close. imo

    even a student can afford more than 1p to see the who play quad...u just gotta not eat(or not drink ale) for a few days!

    get yer priorities in place eh!! :lol:
  • Brisk.Brisk. Posts: 11,567
    yes i have the super quadrophenia dvd thing, was a few quid in fopp so i thought why not.. i watched it but didnt really get it tbh, i still dont with the whole mods things haha, but yeah i thought i'd listen to it a few times over the past few days to see if i actually want to go to the show, but i want to see them regardless. They will play other stuff as an encore i presume?

    Need to listen to the other albums!

    Um . . . By Numbers is one of my faves. Slip Kid, However Much I Booze, Dreaming from the Waist, How Many Friends, Success Story, Blue Red and Grey, In a Hand or a Face . . . .
    And don't rule out Endless Wire, although most of it sounds best live. :thumbup:
