I was 15 years old (yes, I'm that old) when this movie came out. Was always a big fan of The Who and music like this will never leave my life. I'm glad I had the privilege of seeing them live in concern just once. Over the years and in my opinion, I have witnessed true, talented artists and music decline but I'm forever grateful that I grew up during a time when music was actually great.
One of the best rock-operas ever written and performed. McVicar is my personal favorite album of all time, Just so good. Roger out-did himself for our benefit, Thank you 35 years later Roger. I love you. Thank you for this and everything with the WHO. You defined my childhood and adulthood with your music. Again, thank you.
when i was in HMP Wayland my cell mate would play this song and the other Mcvicar songs over and over and over again on his cassette. That film and those songs effected the way he did his time, he thought he was in the film, he was crazy, fighting all the time, we ended up on the punishment block together and we got shipped off together to HMP Blundestone, aka Plunge erstone. On the prison van he got the guard to play the cassette, i remember rollimg over the flat East Anglian landscape with these songs lol he made my time in jail very surreal. Life immitating art. Mad
Don't plead no special case for me Because there ain't no way I'll get my liberty I'm back inside, I've been betrayed Now I know this is the greatest robbery Night after night I lie awake and watch the morning break Night after night I get the feeling that, there's no way back Don't think you'll see me here again You better find another man to take the blame Oooh, Oooh Oooh, It's getting late I better sweat it out and get myself in shape Time after time Only a fool makes the same mistake Time after time And every day I thought, I won't get caught Oooh, Oooh Oooh, It's getting late I better sweat it out and get myself in shape Night after night I lie awake and watch the morning break Night after night I get the feeling that, there's no way back
@@adamjensen1136 I've got my clipboard, text books Lead me to the station Yeah, I'm off to the civil war I've got my kit bag, my heavy boots I'm runnin' in the rain Gonna run till my feet are raw
My favourite film ever,watched it over and over when It came out&stil do when I get the chance,the music the characters the humour"this is where he gets her on the ground and rumps her",love most of daltrys stuff even solo,but this is him at his best,
I am from north inter city of Dublin near mountjoy prison where they filmed the scene when the prison van going into the gates of the prison one of the best prison movie I have seen mcvicar
the awesome end track to the classic movie mcvicar. but him getting back in prison was a good thing. he is now a reformed man. john mcvicar is a legend for turning his life around.
Love this from the movie I watched religiously when I was a kid as in my eyes my dad Was McVicker Gerry Edwards who was on the run then finally got nicked and sent down for 12 year from when I as 7 till I was 15 film made me cry about missing my Dad I love ya “You know name and slags gave me a number!,”
If done a fair bit in that shite hole and see the line “I lye awake and watch the morning break” .. that’s absolutely spot on 💯 . That one line makes the whole song for me it’s so true

Still at this was made in the 1980 still in 2020 a mint tune
Daltrey. What a voice. Great ablum, movie. I wonder if people even can get this feeling up these days.
excellent
Great song and a great movie and it got me through a tough time .
Great tune, got me through a tough year inside in 96-97. Lots of X cons loved this one.
Waylander used to sing it to my pad mate. He was to young. Lol.
Ai been tha butt but does it ever work with the boys
A have to agree wae ya on that one bud
Yea, my ole man knew John Mc Vicar, I myself followed that path, 10 plus years inside!
💯 @waylander done me proud in polmont, saughton and glenochil

I listened to this in the late 90s while doing 3 1/2 years really got me motivated to get my positive head on and get my life sorted
Good for you ..well done 👍🏻
Hope you are doing well brother 👏
one of the best films of all time . this is one of the first films i had on video and i still have it on vhs tape and in mint condition . nice
Don't plead no special case for me
Because there ain't no way I'll get my liberty
I'm back inside, I've been betrayed
Now I know this is the greatest robbery
Night after night
I lie awake and watch the morning break
Night after night
I get the feeling that, there's no way back
Don't think you'll see me here again
You better find another man to take the blame
Oooh, Oooh Oooh, It's getting late
I better sweat it out and get myself in shape
Time after time
Only a fool makes the same mistake
Time after time
And every day I thought, I won't get caught
Oooh, Oooh Oooh, It's getting late
I better sweat it out and get myself in shape
Night after night
I lie awake and watch the morning break
Night after night
I get the feeling that, there's no way back
reads really well ...thanks for the insight
Quality track got me through some dark times
My gratitude starts here, 11 years free

Daltrey can act. Greatest of soundtracks.
Have the LP and liner notes. Rare? Anyone also own?
Bought it on cassette brand new in 1981, played it probably hundreds of times in my car!
Daltrey also shined in an episode of THE LAST DETECTIVE, ' Once Upon a Time on the Westway '
Shame not on Spotify great album / CD / soundtract
