Quadrophenia was the reason there was a mod revival coinciding with The Jams all mod cons, everything else followed on from there, secret affair, the chords, Purple Hearts, Merton parkas, the lambrettas, nine below zero, etc etc.., the best time of my life I was obsessed with all of it…

I was a second generation mod but I used to like punk rock and 60s garage music I had heavy rocker freinds skinhead freinds rockabilly freinds couldn't be arsed with anymosity good times

ah great to see and hear John Entwistle, He was the Best Rock Bass player i've ever heard

Saw the Who in 76 ,thought they were fantastic,their music stage prescence was amazing.I am a 77year old mod and proud of it 😊

the early 80s casuals were the proper face of Mod revival

my family went to the UK in 1979 (my mum is from St Hellens, merseyside) and there were all these kids running around in parkas with targets and union jacks on them, i was like; What the fuck is this all about, eventually after returning to Australia i saw adds for Quadrophenia, but it was when i first heard the Jam (Start !) that it all started making sense to me, they released an EP inAust called 4 side affects, which had , Start,Going underground ,eton rifles, and Thats entertainment) and my mind was blown, for the next few years i was obsessed with Mod.

Weller was the catalyst that ignited interest in Mod thats undeniable.

Good to see Brett B. Buddlesworth there, lead skiffle-rattler and flugelhorn player of The Chords. Some say his ghost still haunts some of the old venues around London....

thats me at 4.13....I was very nervous , I could get my words out..KTF

This is quite good. Describes and documents the scene of my student days in Brighton.

The 2nd generation of the Mods is down totally to Quadrophenia.

Love the ox great to see him

We need a new re re re revival

The jam in the city

Class docu xx

Weller was MORE Mod than any of the bands before or since. !!!!!

weller, you da man

Fuck me, a documentary about MOD in the late 70s thaf actually mentions Weller and The Jam!

i disagree...the mod revival would have happened with or without weller

are you forgetting The Jolt from Wishaw?or The Killermeters,were they Birmingham and was it Dublin's Blades?

The mod revival started before quad came out

the directions were the best of the time.

My two favorite bands are Rush and The Jam ,work that one out.Im sort of a Mocka

THE PRISONERS

@4:53- that ain't Joe Strummer, man. It's Malcolm bloody Owen, fer cryin' out loud. Get it right, people!!!

I came from the 80s teenage generation that was more about kids wearing parkas and badges than having the proper gear. It wasn’t that much different if you were a punk, mod or greaser by the mid 80s. Scruffy jacket, boots and badges.

4.53 is a picture of Tony Morrison ...Malcolm Owen???

Secret Affair are class & I respect Pagey. Top geezer! However, Weller carried the "revival" on when others - including 2-Tone mentioned below - floundered. As for The poxy Lambrettas dont make me laugh - a 3rd rate load of pop-pap [even Jez admitted he wanted to go that way!] who got 'plastic' mods following em just because of the name - as do their new garbage line-up nowadays! Awful pub-rock-pap now! Come on Ian P - you could do with a proper mod support band mate!

NAME OF THE FIRST SONG PLEASE THE OPENING

Mod for it 😂

Always have to snigger when Weller is mentioned in the same breath as 'Small Faces' and 'The Who'......it's totally ridiculous, why didn't this mod wannabe with his mailorder parka and fancy shoe wear, didn't make it big outside the U.K.? He admittedly had some good tunes, but nothing to get worked up about, and surely nothing that could compare to the classic 60's bands..... He deserves credit though for not keeping on flogging a dead horse, and knocked it on the head when the Jam were at their 'highpoint'......
