By this concert, the difficulties of Quadrophenia were becoming apparent. It wasn't just the technical problems involved in playing it, but the added difficulty of putting across the concept, story and characters. And to audiences unfamiliar with Mod, this was an uphill struggle at best. Both Roger and Pete's long explanations of the plot between the songs certainly seemed to divert the flow and intensity of the live act. Additionally, the backing tapes - especially on 'Bell Boy' and 'Dr. Jimmy' - never achieved the precision dovetailing that had been notable on 'Baba O'Riley' and 'Won't Get Fooled Again'. It must have somewhat disheartened Pete Townshend that the audiences invariably responded most warmly to the Tommy songs.
