Deaf Dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.
Ten years old
With thoughts as bold as thought can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
A vague haze of delerium
creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.
Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony.
Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.
His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride.

I have missed this! Never have a chance to sit and listen to two tracks back to back anymore... must do so again!
Never get tired of this. Brings me right back to being a kid and listening to this album over and over.

For me, the amazing thing about The Who is the bass playing. John Entwistle didn't play the bass part, he played another lead part, in the bass clef. The rest of the band is great too, but listen to the bass part. So inventive!

Anybody know what the Sparks are? I've always wondered.
I must have seen that wiki pic 100s of times>>>>
but this is the first time I noticed Keith is wearing an Esso service station jump suit... it always seemed more NASA than local gas pump...

Remember seeing the Who perform the whole opera in about 1971, but unfortunately, it was in a garbage can of a hall (CNE Coliseum in Toronto). I'm sure they weren't happy with the sound either.

The second album I ever bought, right after Yes Fragile. As a kid I couldn't believe how much it cost, I had to save my allowance for weeks to afford it. But it really kicked my ass, so different, so eye opening to the power of music. I still think it's their best work.

I've always loved The Who but I always thought their power kind of got lost when Townshend was making his big "operatic" statements. There were decent moments on both this record and Quadrophenia but pound for pound Who's Next and some of the earlier singles like Join Together and I Can See For Miles are their best work.

How was it music of your time? You would have only been about 8 when this was released - hardly the sort of music children listened to in the late 1960's. Your 'time' was more likely the mid to late 1970's and there really was some pretentious Prog Rock music around then.
Well, at 56 this is supposed to be music of my time but, to me it's just pretentious. Leaves me cold.

Keith coming in on drums - awesome!!

...and the bass playing is phenomenal too!

I just realized that when I drum with my fingers on my desk, or my palms on my steering wheel hub, I drum Keith Moon style, no matter what the song is. That explains why they hurt so much afterwards.

I always say this with The Who: Keith was the world's greatest RnR drummer. I think he had a third arm. Go look at the old photos.

Bill, I wish you'd tell us before you play songs like this, so that I can get to the computer and CRANK the volume BEFORE the song begins.

One of my all-time favorite albums...
I tried hard to like this double LP when it came out. The fact is, most of the music isn't that good. 5.

I can totally understand how you would feel that way. To me their music is meant to be enjoyed live and fortunately I was lucky enough to see them in concert from the fourth row in 1975. I cannot hear a song of theirs now without thinking about how it would sound live. The studio recordings are too polished or something.
Yes, they are different live. Having seen them do Tommy back in 69 through about 5 or 6 more times up to around 95, they are better live than in the studio. But they are also really great in the studio. Not many bands can do both. The Who can and do.

They played this last Monday night at their show in Austin.
Zac Starkey, filled in for Keith Moon and didn't miss a single beat: he was astoundingly good at reproducing Keith's beats perfectlt and faithfully.
My first concert was The Ventures in 1963. The Who's show was without a doubt THE BEST concert I've ever attended. Indescribably well done.

The Stones and Led Zeppelin were always my favorite bands but I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the very first time I heard Tommy, Who's Next and Quadrophenia. I would say they were the most influential in my young life.

I love this comment...and agree! I saw The Who twice, but passed on chances to see the Stones (although I would have loved to have seen or had the chances to see them during their "Some Girls" period or previous days...) Almost no other band had the ability to generate movement, like some kind of kinetic engine capable of transporting entire audience halls, and couple it with mind-blowing articulations of anguished feelings common to the human experience, in such incredibly magnificent and lasting ways. Pink Floyd was another, and I am glad I got to see them, too, but there was something so dynamic, so urgent, so poignant about The Who, and it still feels so good to hear them even now!

Thankfully, there are alternatives to The Who.
The first rock and roll album I ever really listened to...the ending chords are so sweet.
Say Daltry recent tour where they played this in entirety. Well done, his voice was strong and he had Simon Townsend with him to filled in on guitar and vocals for Pete. Not the Who but well done

Always thought this sounded kind of wimpy, compared to the movie soundtrack's version, where it's fully at 11.
I have occasionally gone to fancy dress parties as Uncle Ernie. Is that bad?
I miss Keith. . . never met him but I feel I have a kindred spirit.

EDIT: According to Wikipedia, the animated movie "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" debuted in 1966. If Cindy-Lou Who was 3 years old then, she'd be 48 years old at the end of the year 2011. She'd still have those magnificent blue eyes.
Perhaps you'd prefer Cindy-Lou?

Hard to beat Moonie on the drums! Manic, possessed, way out on and maybe sometimes well over the edge of kinetic mayhem...and so talented! Daltrey said on a cool interview that when Keith came up to make his legendary substitution/ impromptu try-out, no one was really paying any attention, and then, "Suddenly, behind us, it sounded like a fahckin' JET ENGINE was takin' off or something!" and Moonie was hired on the spot. Sparks fall from Heaven every time I hear you, Moonie! and you, too, Ox!
On October 12th my daughter and I saw Roger Daltrey performing the "Tommy" in Grand Prairie TX (Dallas). Great show!! He also played The Who's hits. Simon Townshend play very..very well, he honored his brother Pete. Great band.

I agree and disagree regarding angry Who over this. I love "angry Who" because so much gets said, and there's so much power in their vocals and music. But some days, like this one, I can't get into a good place with "angry Who," and something like the current song just fits with my mood.
And thank you for clarifying regarding Johnny Depp's influence for his Jack Sparrow character. Also - he and Keith Richards have a love of music, so I think Depp has a guitar that Richards wants... or something like that. Ol' Keefer isn't as wasted as he looks (which, I guess, isn't saying much...)

Upon first listen in the late 60's I thought, "Rock Opera? What pompous rockers dreamed that up?" After several other listens, I began to see the complexity in rhythms, melodies, percussion and background noises, and paid attention to the lyrics. It's now one of my favorite albums. Mr. Entwhistle gets pretty funky during the Sparks transition.
The rhythm change over to Sparks is amazing. Way ahead of most of what you got in the late 60s.
Overall, however, I'd give it a 5.
