On June 9 (June 10 in North America), The Who will release “Quadrophenia: Live In London”, a new package that captures the band in concert at Wembley Arena performing their 1973 classic album in its entirety on the final night of their 40th anniversary tour that celebrated the record’s original release.
Filmed on July 8, 2013, the Quadrophenia performance was followed a set of the band’s greatest hits for the sold-out crowd.
With HD screen backdrops, archival footage and today’s advanced technology in sound, the live show reunited The Who with late bandmates John Entwistle (for “5:15”) and Keith Moon for his signature song, “Bell Boy.”
“Quadrophenia: Live In London” will be available in various configurations including an expanded Deluxe Metal Box which includes the High Definition Blu-Ray and standard DVD of the concert film, both in 5.1 Surround Sound audio; a two-CD soundtrack of the show; and for the first time, a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the entire 1973 album release of “Quadrophenia” on a Blu-Ray Audio Disc. Extras include a 6-inch Mod Headlight sticker, a Mod Headlight button, and a booklet with liner notes and photos, all housed in a 10-inch metal container embossed with the movie-inspired, iconic, Mod bullseye logo painted on a Vespa SG scooter headlight.
The package will also be made available separately on High Definition Blu-Ray, standard DVD, and a downloadable Digital Concert Video, with the complete audio from the concert film being released as a two-CD soundtrack and a downloadable Digital Album. The 5.1 remix of the original “Quadrophenia” will be released as a single-disc Blu-Ray Audio Disc.
