Member Rating:  
Oscar-winning filmmaker Murray Lerner and co-director Paul Crowder draw on the essential themes of The Who's music and lyrics to craft a definitive audio-visual document of the influential band's timeless legacy. From their origins as a 1960s R&B cover band to their transformation into the band that changed the course of rock and roll history, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, and John Entwistle's unstoppable, arena shaking juggernaut is followed as the men behind the music experience triumph and tragedy over the course of the following decades. Authorized by the band, the film speaks with family and friends to explore the meteoric rise of The Who as unreleased performance footage from Monterey, Woodstock, The Concert for NYC and other landmark concerts show fans the scenes that, until this release, they have only been able to read about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    I actually saw this on cable, but it is one of the better rock anthologies I've seen. It covers The Who from their teenage days to just recently. They talk about the good and the dark times. Even touched on Pete's problem with the law a few years back which I didn't expect to be mentioned. There is a ton of newly uncovered footage from them in the 60's and photos as well. There is a lot of concert and television footage, but no songs in their entirety. You would need to rent one of their other DVDs for this.

    This is a very professionally done, Who authorized biography. Most of the comments about the band are by Daltry and Townshend. They give great insight into their feelings about events in the Who evolution, as well as feelings about each other, and their bandmates. Even though I knew a lot about the band, I learned new things, like the fact that they were called The Who before they became the High Numbers. Also, some great footage I had never seen before. A fantastic piece of work. Exceeded my expectations.
