Also, I don't know if I'm stupid or just don't understand the references, but I really can't follow the story in that album. :? Maybe I need to see the movie. Is it worth watching?

    even i dont get it and im from england, was just teen culture in london in the 60s i believe.

    Thanks, now I feel better. The Punk & the Godfather - what the hell is going on???

    the movie ties it all together. it gives you a much better insight to what happened back then. the thing i dig most about quad is that it was REAL life. the mods existed, as did the rockers. they battled, they partied, and they listen to the who(among others). for me it's about the struggles of youth and the power of music. music and growing up as a teenager are linked at the hip, it's hard to separate them. the who was the mod's background music in life. it don't get anymore real than that. true story.

    sure, give who's next deserved credit, but from the opening shot of the movie/album(the sea) to the final end scene/tune of the movie/record quad is a masterpiece. it has never been topped, imo.

    Quadrophenia isn't really meant to be completely understood on it's own. It is more like a soundtrack to a musical or something. Without the commentary to provide an outline, it is pretty difficult to understand. If you have the physical album, Pete has a short story that he wrote in the liner notes that helps explain the plot.
    All the rusted signs, we ignore throughout our lives, choosing the shiny ones instead...

    And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...

    Yeah I am. I was already going to be in the UK anyway (visiting family in Cardiff), and by luck, this show was announced slap bang right in the middle of my month long stay :)
    Grabbed me a 200 pound VIP ticket during the pre-sale and can't wait to see this show :D
