111. The Kids Are Alright by The Who 1966

Tonight I ran into Paul Stewart from The Painters and Dockers. It was good to catch up and he mentioned how he remembered how Little Murders used to do a great version of this song. I remember the first time we played the song. It was at the Jump Club in Collingwood. The Murders were a Jump Club regular. We played there a couple of times a month there either headlining or supporting bigger bands. The first night we played this song was the first night of the Mod Easter Invasion of 81. The place was packed with Mods. It went off and initiated a flurry of stage dives. It was the beginning of a legendary weekend.

At the time of the Mod revival of the early 80's The Who brought out a film "The Kids Are Alright" which was there history on film. It was always teamed up as a double with Quadrophenia. We went to a number of screenings as a mob. I even managed to get a button. It's pinned to my coat on the back of the Dance Set single. That picture was taken in the Jump Club band room. The photograph on the rear of She Lets me Know was taken out the front of The Jump Club too. the Jump Club was a big part of my life back then.
