New live album from The Who?? Quadrophenia

maybe German Amazon will have a good deal on the box set!

 

Universal Japan is offering up the five-disc tin box with the two CDs being SHM-CDs for that iteration only.

 

Deep in the murky depths of Who HQ:

"SOOO.... We finally finished that 5.1 mix of Quadrophenia!"
"Really?? Shall we put it on the Q Cloud - that was a bit of a waste of money wasn't it, might as well use it eh?"
"Well we could do that, but the guys really want to release one of their live shows!"
"Ahh right, from 1973?? The fans will love that!!"
"Well we could do that, but they really want it to be one of the 2013 shows"
"Yeah fair enough, we already did stuff for the 1997 tour. So it makes sense to do that"
"Exactly, plus the fans already have the boots of the old stuff"
"Right. So what shall we put the 5.1 mix as part of the Blu Ray set? or a third disc in the CD version?'
"Well we could do that, but we need to make some more money. Those expenses won't recoup themselves. So we want to put it in the exclusive £100 box version"
"Right.... Fair enough. Hows the Who's Next deluxe set coming?"

And so on it goes....

 

i don't have a Blu-ray set up,but if i did,why would i want to purchase an expensive multi disc set that contained a visual concert in both blu and SD,and both with 5.1 mix?
would the SD version ever get a viewing?
and what's the point of 2 CD's in stereo,when there will probably be a stereo option on the DVD's?

 

even though i went to the Wembley concert,i think i'm gonna pass!

 

Isn't that just typical! What should have been included in the Quadrophenia Directors Cut box set, is now being included in another expensive box set!

THE WHO CELEBRATE THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF QUADROPHENIA
WITH THE RELEASE OF
‘QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON’ DVD IN JUNE 2014
FILMED AT WEMBLEY ARENA ON JULY 8, 2013


In 2012/2013, The Who embarked on the Quadrophenia and More Tour, performing their landmark rock opera in its entirety, marking the 40th anniversary of the original 1973 release of this double-album masterpiece. The critically acclaimed and highly successful tour closed at London’s Wembley Arena, with the cameras rolling, to record the closing night of this historic anniversary tour.



Filmed on July 8, 2013, QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON features The Who in peak form, performing Quadrophenia from front to back, in its entirety, plus a special set of some of their all-time greatest hits. The film captures the band’s dynamic performance in front of their hometown crowd and features blistering performances of “The Real Me,” “The Punk And The Godfather,” “Doctor Jimmy” and a powerful performance of “Love Reign O’er Me.” With HD screen backdrops, archival footage and today’s advanced technology in sound, QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON reunites The Who with bandmates John Entwistle, for “5:15,” and Keith Moon for his signature song “Bell Boy.” In addition to their performance of Quadrophenia, the band tear through classic tracks such as “Pinball Wizard,“ “Who Are You,” “You Better You Bet,” “Baba O’Riley,” “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and “Tea & Theatre” from their 2006 release Endless Wire,” with the intensity and power only The Who can conjure.



QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON will be available in various configurations including an expanded Deluxe Metal Box which includes the High Definition Blu-Ray™ and standard DVD of the concert film, both in 5.1 Surround Sound audio; a two-CD soundtrack of the show; and for the first time, a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the entire 1973 album release of Quadrophenia on a Blu-Ray Audio Disc™. Extras include a 6-inch Mod Headlight sticker, a Mod Headlight button, and a booklet with liner notes and photos, all housed in a 10-inch metal container embossed with the movie-inspired, iconic, Mod bullseye logo painted on a Vespa SG scooter headlight.



QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON will also be made available separately on High Definition Blu-Ray™, standard DVD, and a downloadable Digital Concert Video, with the complete audio from the concert film being released as a two-CD soundtrack and a downloadable Digital Album.The 5.1 remix of the original Quadrophenia (1973) will be released as a single-disc Blu-Ray Audio Disc™.



Based around the story of Jimmy – double-album masterpiece, Quadrophenia tells the tale of a young mod and his struggle to come of age in the mid-1960s. The project was intended to reflect the four characters of The Who and features some of Townshend’s most inspired, personal song-writing – way ahead of its time in scope and purpose and is one of the most widely recognized albums of The Who’s career because of its classic depiction of mod culture, its renowned imagery and the magnificent music and powerful performances. Newly envisioned by Roger Daltrey, the concert film combines archival footage of The Who and images of historical events that have rocked Jimmy’s world over the past 40 years giving this magnum opus an enlightened modern twist.

That is true, but I think it was also going to be a Who-sanctioned live released that Pete scuppered at the last minute. Either way, it's a damn shame it's never gotten official release

 

Hull was great, yes. But that Ottawa show is weird, because many of the tracks don't match the bootleg SBD tape of it that's been around for years, and adding those Swansea '76 tracks (and making NO MENTION OF IT on the label until fans raised a stink about it online) is just inexcusable.

 

Buried:

 

Does the "single" Quadrophenia (1973) Bluray disc mean one can buy just the studio album and not have to buy the "deluxe" set to get it? If so that is excellent news as it will be a good sign for future releases. The opposite approach for example of the Pink Floyd box sets where that was the only way to get the Bluray of DSOTM and WYWH.

Bill

 

That seems to be the case:

 

Ok well I retract my silly remarks. the 5.1 Quadrophenia mix is getting a separate release!


SINGLE-DISC BLU-RAY™ PURE AUDIO DISC

Definitely in for the single Blu-ray disc 5.1 mix of the 1973 album only.

 

Yep, not the org QUADROPHENIA.

 

Filmed on July 8, 2013, QUADROPHENIA: LIVE IN LONDON

 

"and for the first time, a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the entire 1973 album release of Quadrophenia on a Blu-Ray Audio Disc™"

 

Thanks for that information. I'll definitely look forward to this release especially the studio version in 5.1 .

Bill

 

For UME its the same dozen or so titles/artists remastered every way possible (expanded cd,SACD,SHM-SACD,Platinum CD,HIREZ download,Blu Ray Audio) till the end of time Derek and The Dominoes,Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,The Who.They could do a Traffic title,Portishead-Dummy (a classic title from '94),or another Rod Stewart title BESIDES Every Picture Tells A Story....

 

In for the original album in 5.1.

Out for everything else.

Glad I didn't buy the super deluxe (choke) Quadrophenia with "whatever parts of Quadrophenia Pete had time to mix before tea in 5.1".

 

I'm kind of curious as to what the above has to do with the release of Quadrophenia on Bluray?

Bill

 

This is all great news. I'm very excited about all these releases, particularly the full 5.1 Blu Ray of Quad (1973). Only thing that sucks is it would have been a great opportunity to add the Quad documentary which looks like it didn't make it. Oh well. Knowing The Who it'll be out at some point anyway.

 

Released 7 days after Zep, I hope combining orders doesn't delay shipment.....such a tough decision to make

 

If the 5.1 mix of the original album is good it would go a long way towards finally being convinced to get a blu-ray player.

 

that it's the same classic rock artist if not the same title UME has milked to death....
