The Who Another Tricky Day HQ

[@dangarlock6134]

One of my favorites from The Who

[@meandthemrs7403]

I like a lot of their songs from the Kenny years. I don't think that he had much to do with it though. I think it was mostly Pete's influence. Maybe the producer.

[@jeffpierce9296]

I'm sitting in a Mexican restaurant, in Pueblo CO. Three enchiladas and 3 margaritas. This song came raging from my subconscious. From out of nowhere. Haven't heard this song in years. How come we never hear this on the radio? It's a wonderful song.

[@bedrosnersesyan6975]

Some great "late career" Who. I like how the piano is pushing and adding accents through the whole song.

Heard this in the grocery store (!) a few days ago. Forgot how great it is.

The way Roger sings "It's thin where you're skating" always gives me chills.

Hell yeah. The keyboard in the background during "what the papers say just seem to bring down heavy rain" always reminded me of that sound you hear in the beginning of a news broadcast.

[@benjaminepstein5856]

Also, you want some good keyboards, look up I Will Survive with Toni Reutter, Evan Jacobson, and Augie Bello, the version that's probably in someone's back yard during the coolest house party ever.

our band covered this song. didn't realize the chord structures were that complex and unique until we started rehearsing it. wondered if that's what the title was referring to, but it was a blast to play though.

Written by Pete Townshend. The Who's Comeback Album since the Death of Keith Moon (8/23/46 - 9/7/78) and the First for Kenney Jones. Great, Catchy Rhythm Song from the 1981 Album, Face Dances #WarnerBrosRecords The Best of The Who Faves and #1980s Playlist Faves. R.I.P. Moonie. #OldSchool

[@user-hm5zb1qn6g]

Did they re-master this whole album and bump up the piano or synth track wherever possible? On a lot of these Face Dances tracks I'm hearing a lot more keyboards than I remember from the original vinyl release (going by decades-old memory).

[@Mis.Understood313]

Cam M it sure sounds like it was re-mastered 😊

[@kitrichardson5573]

It’s definitely been remastered. You hear everything more clearly but that does not necessarily mean it’s better. It’s funny how the individuals are great musicians without question, but sometimes less is more. I’m glad to have both versions however so you can compare them and hear the parts

[@widewailcorduroy7278]

You might be remembering the video version of this song, which was sped up and emphasized the guitars more. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZnYfZuZl76SZpo

Just realized, the Piano is Awesome..Who's the player?Anyone know?

[@kitrichardson5573]

I’ve listen to this remastered version twice now back to back with the version that came out originally and while it’s nice to hear the piano part and most of the parts are more clear, it’s not as good as the original. The base runs at the end of the phrases or one of the highlights of the song and they get drowned out by the new stronger backing vocals. The aforementioned piano part actually becomes distracting in many parts of the song and it’s just something to fill in on the background it should not be a prominent musical part. Still nice to hear the individual musicians highlighted.
