      Im an 80's teenager growing up born in 1965 a GENERATION X baby. Been listening to these guys since I was 10yrs old in the early 70's. But this song has to one the most iconic songs ever written. I'm now 58yrs old and still listening to this group on July 8th ,2023 at 10:25am in Woburn Massachusetts USA.. With a few ice cold BUDLIGHTS and a few packed bowls of some really great INDICA WEED. Life is great just stop everything an listening to music it brings out memories you forget about.

      Townshend and Entwistle are in the mini-van together. Who knows why Daltrey was in a limo, seeing as this was shot during tour rehearsals, not during an actual show or even soundcheck for a show. But I have the impression the three of them couldn't stand being around each other back in those days. Actually, that happened with a lot of those "big" groups. Everyone would have his own limo, because they couldn't deal being around someone else in the group, except during the shows. And I know there are some bands where they even had to have separate tour buses (e.g. Allman Brothers Band, who had, I believe, three buses, Gregg Allman had one, Dickey Betts had a second, and the band's two drummers had the third, and the rest of teh band would move back and fourth between the three buses).

So you and I might not enjoy the new music, but young people nowadays will probably have numerous songs that do for them what Eminence Front does for you and me. And they'll hear it playing 30 years from now and the song will be elevated with sentimental feels.
