Eddie Vedder w/ My Morning Jacket - A Quick One While He's Away (live)

Eddie Vedder and My Morning Jacket cover The Who. Turns this up! Second time I had to post this. . . Trying to convert here!

By the way, this song inspired Pete Townshend to write two "Rock Opera" albums ("Tommy" & "Quadrophenia").

Part 1

The Who - Blue, Red and Grey

ONE OF MY FAVE'S. . .

This off the WHO BY NUMBERS album (1975)

THE WHO - BLUE, RED AND GREY
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
Worship the sun when it's high
Some people go for those sultry evenings
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day




I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
Every moment has its special charm
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine
I know a crowd who only live after midnight
Their faces always seem so pale
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
They say a suntan never fails
I know a man who works the night shift
He's lucky to get a job and some pay
And I like every minute of the day
I dig every second
I can laugh in the snow and rain
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain

And so you see that I'm completely crazy
I even shun the south of France
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
But when they sleep, I sing and dance
Some people have to have the sultry evenings
Cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day

The Who w/ Eddie Vedder - I'm One

November 2000. Eddie fits right in. . . Good stuff. By the way that's Ringo's son drumming. You can find the original song on the Quadrophenia (1973) double album.

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I cant get that even tanned look on my
face.
