Wes Anderson's Rushmore - The Who, A Quick One While He's Away

[asburytheo]

I love this F*cking movie.

[zennethx]

Regardless of the inclusion of a fantastic rendition of a terrific song from the awesome soundtrack, this is easily one of my all-time favorite films.

i went crazy when i saw my old school building at 1:00

[Fu7ur3Pr00f]

This will be released by Criterion on Blu-Ray in November.

[guerillafilmproduct]

live at leeds version is great..but maybe because ive seen the live footage of the rnr circus so much that its just blows everythang else out the water

[RootbeerAndBeans]

no other song could make this montage half as good :)

[ser89ers]

lol it's in italian...che schifo

[cuntsmasher2]

0:36

One of the best scenes I have ever seen! I love slow motion. God bless Wes Anderson.

[shatterjack]

this version is so much better than the one on the soundtrack

[muttilo]

LONG LIVE THE OO' !!!!!!!

[rurugby]

I absolutely love Rushmore .. spectacular movie *****

[pandaroo2012]

0:47 to 0:53 ....epic.....

[austinaesthetic1]

lmao thats my favorite part of this film.

[expardisi]

love the movie, love the song, love the who!

[blazeb666]

Actually, this is not the Live at Leeds version, this is the version from the Rolling Stones' Rock n Roll Circus, also featured on the soundtrack to the classic Who documentary The Kids Are Alright. It's the best recorded performance of the song!

[allanosterm]

I agree. Rumor has it that the Stones felt upstaged by The Who, and that's why Rock and Roll Circus wasn't released for, like, 30 years.

[azechiel]

Although, interestingly, the version on the Soundtrack for Rushmore is the version off of Live at Leeds. I personally prefer it, but both versions are superior to the studio cut.

[mharrin5507]

it's on the soundtrack to "the kids are alright" under the title "a quick one"...this is only one part of the entire song (one of townshend's first mini-operas)

[kungpoofdoofdoof]

good ear! you can tell because when he say "cant believe that im with you again" he sings it differently the the only other two times they preformed it in that period(once at montery pop and once at leeds)

[loudhvx]

Yes. Definitely the "Circus" version of this song. The timing etc. is very different on the Monterey and Leeds version. It was edited for the movie, obviously.

Also, the "Circus" version actually exists in several different audio edits as well. There are at least three different audio edits of the full "Circus" version, and there is at least one partial version from the movie "The Kids Are Alright".

[loudhvx]

The most telling difference is the part where Moon tosses the floor tom. I believe, in the "Kids" full movie version you hear when it strikes the cymbal. In the full "Circus" DVD version you only hear the floor tom rumble, and in the "Kids" soundtrack CD, they remove the sounds from that moment altogether.

[havepie]

@blazeb666 Actually, part of this is from leeds, and part of it is from rolling stones Rock n Roll Circus.

[mysticblade35]

@havepie The whole thing is from Rock n Roll Circus. The Leeds performance was at a slower tempo, and Entwistle's bass sounds much more overdriven at Leeds.

[TheBeatlesRoooock]

@blazeb666 And actually, it's just the You Are Forgiven part that comes from the Rock n Roll Circus version. The rest is Live at Leeds. According to Wikipedia.

[e184nwi]

@TheBeatlesRoooock I'm not sure about the "cello, cello, cello..." part but everything from 0:59 on is definitely from Rock n Roll Circus.

[e22378]

The Who at Leeds is the version.

[terrormachine78]

Man I cannot find this version of this song. The soundtrack is more produced than this one.

[pm11237]

i heard the song has 3 parts and that this is the 3rd part. i hope that helps.

[quigr193]

its the live recording fromt he rolling stones rock and roll circus

[tava82]

Try looking for it under "You are forgiven", that's how I found years ago..

[DElasee]

@terrormachine78

The actual song itself is about 9 minutes long, it's sort of set in 'chapters'. This is the last chapter of the song.

[MyNameIsNotBrian]

my favorite is the "you are forgiven" part it gets stuck in my head all the time.

[sensicat]

post the movie

[LufsyLurqy]

Isn't it worth buying? I mean wes anderson is probably doing financilly bad already. (check mah spelling)

[falstaffswims]

holy shit, talk about getting stuck in a rut... how many times did I say the same fucking thing? sorry, i don't even remember posting this once... though I agree with it. well said, me.

[falstaffswims]

Wes Anderson may get in stylistic ruts (rehashed milieu, an uninspired ensemble of great actors who aren't that great together, predictable conflicts steering the surface plot), but that's superficial stuff, and he's surely aware of it... beneath the surface and between the lines (where it matters), there's breathtaking ingenuity, and, when everything's considered, he's a startlingly brilliant director. But, even with that aside: WES ANDERSON ALWAYS PICKS THE COOLEST F'CKING MUSIC IN THE WORLD!

[blap316]

ha, well said.

i enjoy how the same actors, storylines, themes are used. it's very comforting- it's almost as if a new wes anderson movie is a new part of a series of television shows
