Synopsis: The Who's seminal double album Tommy, released in 1969, is a milestone in rock history. It revitalized the band's career and established Pete Townshend as a composer and Roger Daltry as one of rock's foremost frontmen. The first album to be overtly billed as a "rock opera", Tommy has gone on to sell over 20 million copies around the world and has been reimagined as both a film by Ken Russell in the mid-seventies and a touring stage production in the early nineties.
