October 14, 1967 - 'I Can See For Miles', backed with 'Someone's Coming', is released as a single in Britain. Pete had held the song back for over a year until the band would need a surefire #1 hit single. Incredibly, this masterful recording ends up tying with 'Anyway Anyhow Anywhere; as the poorest charting to date of The Who's official U.K. singles, peaking at #10. Reviewed in the New Musical Express the song is described as 'less tuneful' than their previous hits, although Melody Maker says: "The boys ternate an ear-shattering wall of sound -- with penetrating rasping guitars, heavy-handed drumming and constant cymbal-crashing, and Pete Townshend's vocal riding smoothly above the all-happening backing" What Pete takes as a failure leads him to doubt his ability to write hit singles for the band. As months pass, he will turn his attention away from pop songs to the idea of a rock opera. At the time, 'I Can See For Miles' was considered to be the 'heaviest' song ever recorded, leading The Beatles to record 'Helter Skelter' as something even heavier!

'Tommy' is being re-released to selected cinemas at the end of November https://www.bfi.org.uk/whats-on/bfi-...RExAYH0wylJ7h0 "A boy witnesses a violent act that leaves him in shock, and he appears to lose the ability to hear, see or speak. An encounter with a pinball machine seems to re-awaken his senses and he soon becomes a ‘pinball wizard’ – but will these skills be enough for him to make it in the real world? Ken Russell’s 1970s rock musical is a creative tour-de-force that boasts the most incredible cast, including The Who, Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton and even Jack Nicholson."

October 28th, 1973 - The band premiere Quadrophenia at the Trentham Gardens in Stoke-On-Trent The show got off to a bad start. The Quadrophenia segment, which was missing the lengthy instrumental title track and 'Cut My Hair', had not been thoroughly rehearsed beforehand, and they thought that, with the extensive use of tapes, the complete piece could be played live. This show unfortunately proved them wrong! After only one performance, three songs from the album - 'The Dirty Jobs', 'Is It In My Head' and 'I've Had Enough' - were dropped from the setlist. Other difficulties were encountered with the instruments. Many of the songs required the use of capos, and Pete found he had to change guitars over 20 times. The fans, however, weren't as disappointed as the band, and were treated to several novelties such as a quadrophonic PA system delivering storm and sea sound effects and John Entwistle playing a large trumpet on the song 'Helpless Dancer' The full setlist for the show was: I Can't Explain Summertime Blues (Eddie Cochran cover) My Generation Quadrophenia

October 29th, 1965 - The new single, 'My Generation', backed with a cover of the James Brown song 'Shout and Shimmy', is released in the U.K. by Brunswick. In the New Musical Express, reviewer Derek Johnson says: "Analyse the ingredients for a hit and you'll find them all in this disc. A storming, raving shake-beat, with crashing cymbals, raucous guitar, reverberating bass and hand-claps throughout - and that's just the backing. The lyric is topical and loaded with teenage appeal, about the snooty approach of some adults to youngsters. Sung with verve, a strong blues feel and an occasional stuttering gimmick, with chanting supporting the soloist." 1967 - The Who play the Coventry Theatre. The stage manager drops the curtain on The Who's second set in the middle of their performance and pipes in the National Anthem. Pete again loses it, smashing his guitar, knocking over the amps, kicking out the footlights then hurling an amp at the head of the stage manager. Demoncrat likes this.
