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

[@jaykapolka6111]

Even Wes Anderson knows this version of the song is the best LOL

[@wangson]

ha! yup. The rock n roll circus version IS the best!!

Who fans know

Best obscure choice of music in Wes Anderson's films... Always blown away by the choices

@wishbookweb Because they have so DANG many hits.

@@jackburton3540 I'm impressed that this is the live version from R&R Circus, not the album version.

[@nickwernham]

I believe that it's the Rock and Roll Circus version.

[@jaykapolka6111]

I know this is an old comment but it is The Rock and Roll Circus version. This is where I heard the song the first time and I didn't understand why it didn't sound the same when I listened to it. Finally found this version years later when I watched The Kids Are Alright. It's slays the studio version

[@bart99gt]

@@jaykapolka6111 I think this is from Live at Leeds. Not 100% certain, but some of the vocals sound a little different from the Rock an’ Roll Circus performance.

[@jaykapolka6111]

@@bart99gt they use the Live at Leeds for the soundtrack but the scene here has The Rock and Roll Circus version. They couldn't get permission to put the circus version on the soundtrack

[@jasonlefler3456]

The smile when Herman instantly knows it’s Max is genius.

[@jgfunk]

The best use of a song in a movie ever?? It's certainly up there!

[@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.

[@Margie75]

I love this Who version! Kicks ass!!

[@abellorenzo8137]

Marjorie Dieudonne what is this version? What Live does it belongs? Thanks!

[@bobafett4130]

Abel Lorenzo I could be wrong but it sounds like their performance at The Rolling Stones Circus, it’s easily one of their greatest performances ever.

[@tomtrinchera8405]

Love that smile at 0:32... he admires the kid's chutzpah & then hates his little guts!

[@megagrips6470]

love he word chutzpah, never seen it before lol

[@BaronKimball]

There aren't any great videos produced by the band, so this Wes Anderson production is the best thing we have to go with. It also edits the song down to the punk rock root.

[@BeardedMonkeyRecords]

+Baron Kimball You can watch the entire live performance on the "Rolling Stones Rock N Roll Circus" which is available on DVD. It's the only song The Who plays in it though. Cheers!

[@okrajoe]

Bill Murray is perfect in this movie.

[@CrystalJupiter]

My favorite song by The Who, and one of Wes's best.

[@vollsticks]

One of my faves, too :). Can't beat the post-Mod, (slightly) pre-Psych The Who. Those singles!!! Man. Strictly the best stuff they ever did. Forget Who's Next, Tommy (ehh...naw, seriously, those records are amazing, shit, The Who's studio discards were better than 99% of their contemporaries finished songs)...those first three albums, sheer GENIUS. Not old enough to have seen 'em with Moon (unfuckingfortunately) but the Kids Are Alright 25th Anniversary Tour was the second ever gig I attended (first was Stevie Wonder at 8 years old), perspex box notwithstanding they were FUCKING GREAT, then saw 'em do Quad in Hyde Park in '97. Or was it '96? I always forget...anyway they were even better the second time. Quad is probably my fave post-Tommy LP. THE Definitive British Rock n' Roll Band, BAR NONE!!!! {MORE FUCKING ONE NOTE SOLOS!!!}

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

[@eoinMB3949]

This was when Wes anderson movies had just the right balance of quirkiness to them, but lately he's gone off the quirky deep end.

[@otanky296]

It kind of matches the frenetic editing in the last minute of the Rock n roll circus performance editing.Perfect.

[@Thehubb1]

Best version of the song they ever recorded for sure. From their live at Leeds album. Tempo is definitely sped up tho so its gonna sound different on Spotify. Actually think it improves it and definitely works better for the most chaotic scene in the movie. The jostling camera shot in the back of Bill Murray's car while he tries to avoid running people over is fucking genius.

[@angleface2048]

This is from rock n roll circus my friend!

[@adamkleiman4281]

This is from the circus!

[@runyon888]

A hit play is where Serpico hits the director, Max. This film is so astounding on many levels; now I've got a reason to build a time machine, take this film back to 1970, locate a plasma TV and DVD player, and several pounds of platinum, Captain Kirk. Some of these movies TEACH. Such as Joe Vs. the Volcano, or Night on Earth, and definitely -- RUSHMORE. Can't decide which actor I liked best (well, Olivia, but I even liked her in Below and The Postman) but I think Bert, the barber. Bravo.

[@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!

[@badlydrawnboyet2925]

a smile then a sneer, only the great Bill Murray could do it best.

[@wms6101]

Since the version is from The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus, it's worth noting that the release date of this film (December 11, 1998) was exactly 30 years after The Who performed this song at the event before it got scrapped (December 11, 1968).

[@Amychelle14]

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

[@havepie]

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

[@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)

[@RootbeerAndBeans]

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

[@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)

[@Cazz814]

I wrote a hit play and directed it!

[@muttilo]

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

[@gerryisnotfunny]

the tempo and pitch are turned up. i do that sometimes with songs to give them a new feel. it drives people crazy because they search and search, but can't find the version they heard 'that one time' at a friends house.

[@toddfoster8705]

I'm not sweating it either... Most Punctual...

[@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.

@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.

[@yarbles67]

yup. i wonder if Bill ad libbed that or did Wes direct him? Either way - a brilliant, sublime touch. game on indeed.

Sped up probably to avoid YT conflicts. Sounds wrong. Parts from Rock N' Roll Circus.

Either that or it's taken from a PAL version.

Rock N Roll Circus is my favorite version of this song. The Who IMO put on what I consider to be one of thier best performances. I LOVE the energy and fun you could see they were having. CLASSIC! I love how Keith Richards introduces them..." And now dig The Who 😎 " 😍 I'm in love with that entire performance!
