#AlternateFridayMusic This is for Jan 30, 2026, #Kid The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979 I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.) One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme on its own, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing. They fucking kill it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8Xy7qRffog #TheWho #MoseAllison #KeithMoon #PeteTownshend #JohnEntwistle #RogerDaltry #SmothersBrothers #RollingStones #TheRollingStones #RockAndRollCircus #Woodstock #60s #60sMusic #70s #70sMusic #Rock #RockMusic
