Synopsis
The Who conquered the world with their unique and supremely powerful music. Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Keith Moon, and John Entwhistle recorded several milestone albums in rock history, including Live at Leeds, Tommy, and Quadrophenia. Here is their fascinating story, which has spanned six decades and is still going strong. Chris Welch, a journalist who followed the Who from the beginning, provides insightful text for this unofficial guide, while photographs from the best contemporary photographers are complemented by images of superb rare memorabilia, much of it from the band’s early days.
