Radio used to play this song all the time (Top 10 on the Album Rock Track Charts in 1981). This is one of the best Who album closing tracks (in fact the last great album closer as I felt "I've Known No War" should have ended It's Hard). Face Dances would have made #1 in the States but fellow R&RHoF inductee Steve Winwood's Arc of a Diver, REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity and Styx's masterpiece Paradise Theatre occuiped #'s 3, 2 and 1 respectively (all great albums).
Roger was clearly a mod in the 60's, his fashion sense always remained.. this vid was a time when preppie fashion ruled the west....people will look at stuff that you kids wear 20 years from now and scratch their heads too, count on it....

@BellumSacrumBellum28 You must be nuts. Have you heard the notes Roger hits? Have you heard the feeling and emotion which he puts into every song? Go listen to "Love Reign O'er Me" at Live Aid and tell me the band never needed Roger. Get out man. Insane.
A police sergeant arrested Glitter when he returned to collect his computer.
An initial examination of the computer revealed that it stored "the most appalling images" of very young children engaged in most humiliating sexual acts, said the QC.More than 4,000 such images, mostly of young girls but many of young boys, were found.Mr Royce said they showed "very young children, some appeared as young as two, in the main ranging from three, four, five and six up to possibly about nine or 10
When you think about it, the Who had four "hall of fame" musicians who would be talented enough to make it on their own. Put them all together and you have arguably the greatest rock band of all time.
You also have to admire them for doing WHAT EVER THE FUCK THEY WANT !!!!!
musicly and socialy throughout thier entire lives.
Many things have changed in this world but, The Who always brings back the same feelings and memories (when I can actualy remember them...) from the time when this music was brand new.
You are so absofuckinglutley right, people in the future will discover them like a fine antique, or wine they are the artists that people will collect.
When they periodically mention the top 100 Guitarists- one person they should include in the category and pay tribute to is John Entwistle- the guy was amazing

both this album and 'its hard' took the who in a new direction for the 80s,and were good solid albums(you better,you bet-the quiet one-how can you do it alone-dangerous-cry if you want-athena).......they could have done a couple more-what a shame then,they just jacked it in.....
Truly one of the most under-rated The Who albums. As is typical during that time Townsend got no credit for trying something different. The size of Pete Townsend's musical balls would make most songwriters wince and slither off in shame.
Absolutely, mega balls that man has. Let me not fail to point out the amazing group of musicians performing here.
I think Face Dances is one of their better albums. I play it more than Who Are You, It's Hard, and By Numbers. The lyrics are way better on Face Dances than Who Are You.
And Jones's drumming is fine. He isn't Keith Moon (and doesn't try to be), but he's still solid.
This was a very unhappy time for the band, Pete was upset and considered Face Dances pretty much garbage. Amazing the high standards they set for themselves, I think The Who are at their best here, an overplayed...yet under-rated song.
"You can dance while your knowledge is growing"...another great Townshend lyric! I think the album this came from, Face Dances, deserves more credit than it got.
its because Keith Moon was dead and when he died the whole outlook of their music changed, i think it went a bit too much towards the industry standard and just became another rock group, who happened to be 3 legends and one guy playing drums.
What always peaks my imagination is that had Moonie lived and played on this and other tracks from Its Hard, and Face Dances what might the songs have sounded like. Its fun to try to imagine his choices and playing. I play drums and can do a pretty good Moonie so sometimes I play along with this and others and try and channel the Moon and see what comes out, weird yes, fun yes, cheap entertainment, yes lol.
Solid number. FD is one of the Who's albums I don't have but I'll probably get round to buying it at some point. I know the album got panned a bit by critics at the time but at the end of the day it's down to individual taste. Obviously their sound changed a bit after Moons death but Jones is a fine drummer, just not the same style as Moon (but nobody really was).
Cheers for the reply. I have You Better on Who's Better, Who's Best from '88 and i've heard Don't Let on Tube. Bought FD (remastered) recently off Play for £4.99 so it should be dropping through my letterbox anyday soon!

@MoveOverCasanova calm down CSI is a pretty good show, and at least it let's a whole new generation listen to the who, maybe a narrow view of the who, but still better than nothing
@MoveOverCasanova Sort of agree with your sentiment - but the fact is - it's turned on a whole new generation to The Who. Don't you remember the first time you heard Who's Next, no doubt on LP, and listened to it from start to finish?? Awesome, and a shit load of Gen Yers will have done this thanks to CSI. Is that really a bad thing??
@SirRoastalot sure -- and it also shows that if you need really good music, that really appeals and lingers in the head, you have to search pretty far back in time,-- sad, but true
Face Dances was IMHO The Who's freshest album since Quadrophenia. Some complained about the production but I think Bill Szymczyk (famed for work with The Eagles and Joe Walsh (whom I think suggested Pete and John use to produce FD)) did a great job. It wasn't until March, 1987 when I first got the cassette at Musicland (along with Pink Floyd's The Final Cut). I managed to wear out FD as the album is flawless IMHO. This track, You Better You Bet, The Quiet One and You all kicked ass.
personally (personally here) I LOVE the way Rodger has tied his "neck scarf"...love it. No' like wan o' they fuckin clowns yi see these days that huv been on the fuckin' web tae learn how tae put a "trendy knot in yir fuckin scarf"...you know? They fuckin' wanks...naw....I like this rodger style. Takes me back. Flat caps an' fitba scarfs...fuck off aw you "new neck scarf tying cunts"...HA!
THANK YOU !!!!---- former employees of pay-pal, for building such a wonderful and creative site. I wouldn't even be able to find this song on a n album(CD i mean) if I wanted too. If it was not for this site.
I was right, pack05intx. The Who recorded this in the key of C. This video is in C# meaning either the video tape or the VCR itself sped up the song therefore changing the original key entirely. It's not the end of the world but it's always been a pet peeve of mine. I had a VCR and various cassette tape players over the years that did the same thing and it drove me crazy. To non-musicians it makes no difference but I'm sure there are musicians out there that understand what I'm talking about.
Hi, mate. Indeed I understand what you meant. However, in my opinion, as for the Who music, sometimes speeding up effect works to make their music more attractive (e.g., some bootlegs of Woodstock 1969).
I disagree, fleetwoodmac1982. If the artist wants their music sped up, they would do it themselves. On second thought you do have a point. The original Jumping Jack Flash's key lies somewhere between Bb and B. I don't know if the Stones intended it or it was an accident but it certainly worked and gave the song a darker more intense sound. Actually, I do want to take back what I said about the guy should take the video down. The was a stupid thing to say. I am grateful that's up at all.
@tomthefunky: I'm not a musician, but this does seem sped-up to me. I had the same problem with various turntables, cassette players, and even an eight-track player, at one time. Sometimes, I would let an album keep playing over and over, on one turntable, as I slept, and when I got up in the morning, the thing had seemingly sped up, overnight. I would start with the Who, and end up with something that sounded a little like the Chipmunks.
I don't know if this is a lip sync...if it is, then it's definitely sped-up. (faster than normal album/CD speed) When they did this it concert, it sounded even faster.
Who's idea was it to let a Muslim work on an army base near all those guns and explosives? It's like a fat man working at a McDonalds or perderass working at a daycare.
Radio used to play this song all the time (Top 10 on the Album Rock Track Charts in 1981). This is one of the best Who album closing tracks (in fact the last great album closer as I felt "I've Known No War" should have ended It's Hard). Face Dances would have made #1 in the States but fellow R&RHoF inductee Steve Winwood's Arc of a Diver, REO Speedwagon's Hi Infidelity and Styx's masterpiece Paradise Theatre occuiped #'s 3, 2 and 1 respectively (all great albums).

THANK YOU !!!!---- former employees of pay-pal, for building such a wonderful and creative site. I wouldn't even be able to find this song on a n album(CD i mean) if I wanted too. If it was not for this site.

Way too fast. The Who didn't record this song this fast. You need to take this song down and re-calibrate.

What are you talking about? I had this album(Yes album), this sounds right.
pack05intx 2 years ago 2
I was right, pack05intx. The Who recorded this in the key of C. This video is in C# meaning either the video tape or the VCR itself sped up the song therefore changing the original key entirely. It's not the end of the world but it's always been a pet peeve of mine. I had a VCR and various cassette tape players over the years that did the same thing and it drove me crazy. To non-musicians it makes no difference but I'm sure there are musicians out there that understand what I'm talking about.

Hi, mate. Indeed I understand what you meant. However, in my opinion, as for the Who music, sometimes speeding up effect works to make their music more attractive (e.g., some bootlegs of Woodstock 1969).
fleetwoodmac1982 2 years ago
I disagree, fleetwoodmac1982. If the artist wants their music sped up, they would do it themselves. On second thought you do have a point. The original Jumping Jack Flash's key lies somewhere between Bb and B. I don't know if the Stones intended it or it was an accident but it certainly worked and gave the song a darker more intense sound. Actually, I do want to take back what I said about the guy should take the video down. The was a stupid thing to say. I am grateful that's up at all.

To me it's a moot point. I just liked hearing it again. I'm not a musician so I'll give you that one. :)

@tomthefunky: I'm not a musician, but this does seem sped-up to me. I had the same problem with various turntables, cassette players, and even an eight-track player, at one time. Sometimes, I would let an album keep playing over and over, on one turntable, as I slept, and when I got up in the morning, the thing had seemingly sped up, overnight. I would start with the Who, and end up with something that sounded a little like the Chipmunks.

I don't know if this is a lip sync...if it is, then it's definitely sped-up. (faster than normal album/CD speed) When they did this it concert, it sounded even faster.

Who's idea was it to let a Muslim work on an army base near all those guns and explosives? It's like a fat man working at a McDonalds or perderass working at a daycare.
