Synopsis

This is the most comprehensive book ever written on one of the world’s greatest, and most explosive, rock bands: The Who. Organized by year, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere presents in diary fashion exactly what The Who were doing, where they were doing it, and with whom from 1958-1978. Packed with more than 650 images, this classic day-to-day chronicle of one of the world’s greatest rock bands is now available in a smaller, more portable format. Exhaustive appendices detail concert tours, radio and television gigs, recording sessions, record releases (including UK and US variations), and solo activities.

About the Author:

From Booklist:

Although the Who was one of the most popular British rock bands of the 1960s and '70s, it hasn't been documented as thoroughly as such others as the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Now it is, thanks to indefatigable researchers Neill and Kent, who go beyond what the fans are familiar with into the obsessive detail of a day-by-day chronicle listing concerts, recording sessions, record releases, and other events, illustrated by copious photographs and other memorabilia. The book begins in the late '50s, when the band's musicians began playing together in "trad jazz" bands, and continues to the phenomenal success of their groundbreaking rock opera Tommy and subsequent emergence as one of the world's most popular acts, filling stadiums on both sides of the Atlantic. Neill and Kent wisely wrap things up with the death of drummer Keith Moon in 1978. Many feel the band should have done the same thing, but it continues performing to huge crowds of loyal fans who will appreciate this painstaking chronicle. Gordon Flagg
