The Who ~ Eminence Front 1982 Classic Rock Purrfection Version

Happy Sunday! Here is the most requested remix lately.....
Way before I started getting requests to remix this one, I tried. I remember I first heard it when I moved in with my brother who had moved into a house with a friend whose grandma passed on. There were four bedrooms and they needed one more to help out so I said yes.
It turned into a college frat house! The fun and craziness they created helped me through a big change in my life. One night, they invited just about everyone from the college they were attending so I went out and came back around five AM and the party was over. It was a shambles. Did I forget to mention that we could live in the house rent free until they sold it?
At 7AM there was a call on the house line that recorded the message from the real estate agent was coming by in a half hour for a viewing. To tell the truth I was just as hungover as the others in the house. Suddenly I snapped awake and in a panic I tried to wake the others which did not work, so I closed the doors to the bedrooms since my bro and his friends each had an overnight date in their rooms.
The bell rang and I stumbled down to let them in and warned them about the party last night and not to open the bedroom doors that were closed. I let the agent lead them through and we went upstairs last. Groggy with the walk of shame and alcohol I stumbled along and as we were leaving the floor, the prospective buyer man saw that one of the bedroom doors had not closed properly and could be pushed open. So he did with one finger.
I was standing to his right while he was opening the door and the view from our angle was of of the bed and the wall behind it. My bro's friend was passed out naked under a bit of sheet, but his girlfriend was on her back of the side closer to the door, spread eagled, with her big boobs for all to see. He quickly closed the door and I could not contain my laughter. I said I was sorry but I did warn them. They stoically walked away.
The real estate agent took them and left and I watched them walk out to the car. The man who opened the bed room door and his wife were laughing and the real estate agent was wiping the sweat from his face as leaned up against the car.
I went back to bed and woke up around one in the afternoon and by that time the girls were gone and the coffee came out. That party was so rockin' the police came several times to quiet it down and then joined the party after their shift was over. That was the most epic party I ever missed.
The Who are an English band formed in 1964 swinging London. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townsend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon who were bad boys of rock being the first to start smashing guitars after a show. "My Generation", "Behind Blue Eyes" and "I Can See For Miles" kept them on the charts and then they wrote and recorded the rock opera movie "Tommy".
They took a break from touring in 1976 and then set about recording and releasing "Who Are You" in 1978 when Keith Moon died shortly after. They resumed recording and released 1981's "Face Dances" then in 1982 they released "It's Hard". The first single issued was the bright and breezy "Athena".
The second release was "Eminence Front" and i charted #68 on the Hot100 but did reach #5 on the US Mainstream Rock charts. Writer Pete Townsend relates that the song was about the delusions of drug use by the wealthy and hedonistic, the lyrics explain that people are wearing masks to hide their inadequacies and problems. In concert, Townsend introduces the song by saying "This song is about what happens when you take too much "white powder", it's called an Eminence Front.
Pete wrote the song around a chord progression he created on his Yamaha organ. "It's clearly about the absurdity of drug fuelled grandiosity, but whether I was pointing the finger at myself or at the cocaine dealers of Miami Beach is hard to recall." Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song as The Who's #10 best song. Critics also praised the "new wave influenced with the classic sound of "Who's Next".

BEST THE WHO SONG

[@elisafabrique1731]

Some people do not realize, what goes around, comes around, you evidently, reap what they sow

[@crupert23225]

When that first drumbeat slams at 1:01. Start the party! And that unmistakble bass undercurrent seems to have been given more presence. Best song ever by The Who. THIS is why I subscribe to your channel!

[@ajfurnari2448]

Eminence Front would have been a pretty boring song, were it not for Thunderfingers talent. This song originally, and especially DiscoCats mix, brings out the sheer skill of the late John Entwistle.

[@gangstertalk]

This is my favorite song of all time. Thanks for the upload!

[@BEERLIGHTBROKER]

Yeah it's the bee's knee's.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

It's a great song.

[@vynaia]

Another song from hanging with good friends. Always loved this song. Kinda reminded me of some people I knew at that time. Good song to dance to though. I remember singing along to this song with my best friend as we drove to meet friends at a state park for a picnic. She owned a '74 Plymouth Barracuda. And we had a great time running up the interstate; passing guys in other cars with them honking at us as we had a blast blowing by them with song cranked on the radio. Great memory of a fun time in single life.🏎💥❤

[@hellsbellez]

Awww, great memory thanks for sharing!

[@averyterribleperson5292]

My quintessential summer track that always makes its way into the mix when we go out wakeboarding. I don’t know how, but you improved the vibe of it all.

[@randallgarza4065]

So happy i found this

[@aldrinalteza7497]

My favorite Who song.

[@mueford]

I've desired for years the idea that some Angel would pump the BASS & " Fix " the drums to have more punch than a little tiny snare sound ---THANK YOU !!!

[@jonmosby8580]

Best frickin stuff i ve ever heard!!!

[@scott7027]

Amazing!!

[@PJ-wm9nq]

Kenney Jones lays down a great groove on this and it sounds great. Trouble is, there's always the temptation to undermine it by wondering how Moon would've played it.

[@The7legacy]

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN Brought Me Here!

[@anubisswift]

I tried to do this myself but your synth and bass fills are just so filthy makes me think that this is more than a mix but a collab

[@owensweetland342]

Nice! 🤙😎✌

[@sewawearofdajew5897]

Outdid yourself on this great tune. Thank You 👍

[@tanerduran]

Very Nice! Delicious!!!!!!!

[@rpach1613]

Wanna hear something wild; play this at 2X speed and listen to Entwistle’s bass line. You can almost hear the rhythm HE was thinking in his head. What a genius. Try it.

[@hellsbellez]

The Who were experimenting with the Funk with this track.

[@marcjacobscontinued9411]

Did they buy the house?
