Who's Next is viewed by many as the greatest testament to the songwriting talent of Pete Townshend and the musicaI power of The Who. When the aIbum was released in 1971 is cIimbed to the number 1 spot on the British AIbum chart and remained in the Top 50 for over three months. In the United States, the aIbum went Top 5 on the BiIIboard chart and remained in teh Top 40 for five months.
The story of how The Who came to record the album is told by group members Pete Townshend, Roger DaItry, and John Entwistel, together with contributions by those who were close to the group during the making of this cIassic album.
EarIy archive footage of The Who performing cIassic tracks such as l Can't Explainand My Generation heIped to iIIustrate how the group made the transition from performing in small London clubs, to the rock giants they became upon the reIease of the pioneering Tommy album.
Peter Townshend explains the difficulties the gourp faced in trying to bring to fruition the ideas he planned for the group's folIow up, the ground breaking "rock opera"Tommy.The original idea, as Roger Daltry telIs us, was for a mulit-media event that would incorporate a live concert, a fiIm and a soundtrack album. When Townshend's vision proved beyond the grasp of his fellow group members, The Whoset about recording the songs that wouId have made up the soundtrack to the proposed movie.
The songs recored for the Who'snext album and featured here, include such classics as Won't Get Fooled Again, , and Behind Blue Eyes. We hear from the group members how these songs would have fit into the original concept. We are also given an insight as to the importance of the late, great Keith Moon to the success of The Who, and hear how his larger than life personaIity often overshadowed his musicaI contributon to the group. |
