RE: Was it Keith?

["rjbeal@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <rjbeal@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also didn't enjoy the Quad movie when I first saw it because I couldn't
understand the English English - but it was in a drive in with one of those
Fred Flintstone speakers you hang on the inside of your car!  It was a
triple feature with Pink Floyd's The Wall and that 1981 Rolling Stones
Concert Movie that I can't remember the name.  

When the DVD came out, I was hoping for sub-titles, but even without I can
now pick the dialogue up.  The trivia sub-titles are interesting and DVD
gives you the freedom to watch over and over, plus there's also a
director's commentary.  Now that I've seen it a few more times, I think
it's brilliant.  I do not pretend to be objective though, so my opinion as
a movie critic is suspect.  I don't think the "general public" who hasn't
listened to the album would get it at all.

I don't know when this song was recorded (four faces)  or any of the others 
on this album because I was a long time hold out on both soundtrack albums 
and didn't want anything to do with them, Tommy and Quad. (I did not want
to 
hear my favorites in any other form.) 

 I saw others performing Who songs on the Tommy soundtrack and I figured
this 
one would be the same. 

I saw the Quad movie at the theater when it came out and it was just too 
British for this American and I didn't get to see my heroes in it much so
it 
pissed me off. Another thing that frustrated me was that near the beginning 
of the movie it showed those guys nekid in the bath tub and as a teenager I 
was SURE I was gonna get to see some female nudity in this movie!  Wrong. 
On 
the way out some little hoes were singing the words of Dr. Jimmy and they 
really turned me off. 

Then years later when the remastered versions came out I relented on both. 
(Just this year.)

After listening to this song over and over I hear Keith clearly on the same 
kit as on the '73 album. It sounds exactly like his drumming on "The Dirty 
Jobs," one of my favorites. Then on the next track "Joker James" I hear
that 
distinctive rat-a-tat-tat of Kenny Jones.  Very different.  No fluid.
