Synopsis

Fusing black American rock with London's mod sixties style, The Who remains a potent force in rock and roll even after almost 40 years. This colorful pictorial, first published in 1982, draws on the author's inside viewpoint and features over 400 color and black and white photos. Bringing it up-to-date are a new introduction by Who guitarist Pete Townshend and insight on the band's continued live success, the media scrutiny over Townshend's work against child abuse, and the death of bassist John Entwistle.
