The film caused a brief revival of Mod music and styles at the end of the 70s, but one element of the story that’s not so clear to anyone who’s only watched the film is: what does that title mean? The film doesn’t elaborated, but the explanation is buried in the sleevenotes to the original album. In November 2012, the Who started a U.S. tour of Quadrophenia, dubbed " Quadrophenia and More". The group played the entire album without any guest singers or announcements with the then regular Who line-up (including Starkey and bassist Pino Palladino, who replaced Entwistle following his death in 2002) along with five additional musicians. The tour included additional video performances, including Moon singing "Bell Boy" from 1974 and Entwistle's bass solo in "5:15" from 2000. [77] After Starkey injured his wrist, session drummer Scott Devours replaced him for part of the tour with minimal rehearsal. [78] [79] [80] The tour progressed, with Devours drumming, to the UK in 2013, ending in a performance at Wembley Arena in July. [81] Perrone, Pierre (24 January 2008). "The worst gigs of all time".

Melody Maker 's Chris Welch wrote "rarely have a group succeeded in distilling their essence and embracing a motif as convincingly", while Charles Shaar Murray described the album in New Musical Express as the "most rewarding musical experience of the year". [49] Reaction in the US was generally positive, though Dave Marsh, writing in Creem gave a more critical response. [49] Lenny Kaye, wrote in Rolling Stone that "the Who as a whole have never sounded better" but added, "on its own terms, Quadrophenia falls short of the mark". [50] In a year-end top albums list for Newsday, Robert Christgau ranked it seventh, and found it exemplary of how 1973's best records "fail to reward casual attention. They demand concentration, just like museum and textbook art." [51]

Remember Quadrophonic sound? No? It was an early attempt to create “SurroundSound” using four speakers rather than the usual two for stereo. The equipment was costly and didn’t catch on, but for a time in the early 1970s, it was a luxury item for audiophiles. Grow, Kory (17 April 2014).
