Well considering your Freeper handle it’s obvious. ;)
I love Quadrophenia too, I just think there’s just a bit too much filler on it.
That’s what made Who’s Next great is that it did get stripped down from Pete’s original “Lifehouse” concept. I just think Quad could have used it as well.
I suppose a couple of songs on side two might be filler, but I can never listen to just a single song from Quadrophenia without wanting to hear the whole thing.
Have you ever heard anything from Townshend's Lifehouse Chronicles? The first two discs are fantastic, with songs like Teenage Wasteland (an early incarnation of Baba O'Riley) and Greyhound Girl that have never appeared on a studio album, along with alternate versions of songs from Who's Next and other Who albums that demonstrate how sprawling his Lifehouse concept was.
You may not be into it, but his Gateway remix version of
Who Are You blows me away.
