It's only in relatively recent years that I've warmed to Quadrophenia, and now I fully recognise it for the brilliant piece of
work that it is.

I'd heard good things about this most recent take on the Quadrophenia show. Even so, it surpassed my expectations. Superb show,
which the band came across as enjoying as much as the audience. First class production; very effective use of films and animation
shown on screens above and behind the band.

Only one slightly uncomfortable moment of note. Pete was handed an out-of-tune guitar for Baba O'Riley. It lasted a short few bars
before being tossed off the side of the stage towards the guitar tech area. Seconds later, a somewhat sheepish looking guitar tech
came onto the stage with a replacement, not daring to raise his head to make eye contact with his Master...

Terrific show, and one which I wish I'd bothered myself to see more than once.
