A Quick One, While He's Away...

edited February 2010 in The Porch
Watching the Immagine in Cornice DVD again, I found myself watching the bonus footage of Ed and My Morning Jacket performing the Pete Townshend opus "A Quick One, While He's Away" like 3 times. I've probably watched this about 100 times and love it more with every viewing.

Anybody else think this kicks major ass?

Just thought I'd present a topic today in the hopes of distracting the board from the monotony of bitching about tour dates, philly boots, and the like.

We're all forgiven!!!!!

    I absolutely love that DVD. I can watch it and be heaven for days. I can also watch the old Pink Pop DVD and be just as happy. I just love watching live performances.

    Speedy - I can't describe the yearning I have for the Philly shows to be released or for PJ to perform a live show for me everyday :). It's stronger than anything I have ever felt. I keep listening to unofficial boots of less than ideal quality but it's holding me over a bit. I had a stroke at the end of January and have at least another month of being home before I can return to work and I can't tell you how much I would love to be sitting here watching the Philly shows :). I watch a UPS or FedEx truck drive by and I'm hoping Ed's going to hop out and come visit me to help my recovery. Due to the finances associated with having a stroke.. I'm hopeful the US tour dates (if any) are for late fall. There's no way I could physically or financially attend anything in the next several months.

    ps. Don't know if you remember meeting me in the courtyard at Philly at the pre-party but I won't forget you !! :)

    Obviously the Who performing their own song is better than Ed and MMJ. Live at Leeds version is outstanding as well.

    Also, during 2006, when Ed came out for It Makes No Difference with MMJ, that was awesome too. We might never again see a PJ opener quite like the boys from Louisville. Ed seemed to really enjoy having these guys on tour in 06.

    i can see why eddie loves the who. ed was just 2 when this was recorded. imagine growing up and watching that performance. the harmony between the 4 of then is amazing. patience with the philly boots. if they were just going to be normal bootlegs they would have been released ages ago. something speccial is in store. thats the delay. patience lads,

    That's because MMJ is the best live act out there today besides PJ. The torch - when it's time to be passed - will be passed well.

    The closest they're coming to me right now is DC, and that's BS. I need some MMJ viewing!

    Couldn't agree more. Join us for a few nights at Great Woods this summer as they play with the one and only Mr. Thomas Earl Petty! Word is MMJ will play their own show during the off day in between.

    Yep - rumors were that the Who's strong performance, in contrast to the Stones, was one of the reasons RnR Circus was scrapped for so many years.

    Agreed. Eds version is good, but the Who from Rock n' Roll circus is one of the best rock performances of all time.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Absolutely gr8 version...in fact, as a Who fan, I think Ed's cover w/ MMJ is as good...I am not a fan of Green Day's version, although you can tell they love the Who also and did the song justice. Ed messes up a few lines, but the spirit in which these cats rock it out more than makes up for it, right?

    Ed and MMJ obviously dig the tune and the Rock n Roll Circus had to be an inspiration...the Leeds version is a tad different...

    I once heard that the repetitive "cello" part was the Who's way of protesting that they weren't given cello players for that piece of the song - hilarious

    I'd also say that this tune, Immortality and Lukin are the highlights of the "Immagine" disc...(for me)

    Awesome song and I 100% agree whole-heartedly it kicks ass!

    And coupled with Ed doin' "Under Pressure" with Ben in SD this past tour, yet another reason to head in early and catch the opener!

    Yeah, but that's the thing...I want 2-2 1/2(possibly 3) hours of pure MMJ!

    The Who on the 'Rock and Roll Circus' was a preview of the greatness of this band. This was before 'Tommy'... before 'Who's Next' and showcases the power and energy that became the benchmark of what live rock performances should be. A truely performace for the ages.
    ...
    Also, 'The Dirty Mac' (John Lennon, Eric clapton, Keith Richards (bass) and Mitch Mitchell) performing 'Yer Blues'... spec-fucking-tacular.

    I have the privilege of being able to say I was at 3 of the 5 Italy shows. I got to see both, "A Quick One," and "It Makes No Difference." Two nights I'll never forget.
