Historia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
John Alec Entwistle (9 October 1944 – 27 June 2002) was an English bass guitarist, songwriter, singer, horn player, and film and record producer who was best known as the bass player for the rock band The Who. His aggressive lead sound influenced many rock bass players. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Who in 1990.
Entwistle's lead instrument approach used pentatonic lead lines, and a then-unusual trebly sound ("full treble, full volume") created by roundwound RotoSound steel bass strings. He had a collection of over 200 instruments by the time of his death, reflecting the different brands he used over his career: Fender and Rickenbacker basses in the 1960s, Gibson and Alembic basses in the 1970s, Warwick in the 1980s, and Status all-Carbon fibre basses in the 1990s.

‘The Who: the making of Tommy’ es un documental sobre el grupo The Who. En él se relata la historia de su éxito. En 1968 el grupo estaba fragmentado y habían hecho ya tres sencillos, pero no tuvieron buena acogida, necesitaban algo realmente bueno para poder saltar a la fama por todo lo alto. Así que, inspirados por Meher Baba, Pete Townshend creó el personaje de Tommy, un chico sordo, mudo y ciego. Comenzaron la grabación y cuando salió el álbum vendieron más de veinte millones de copias. En este documental se explica por primera vez cómo realizaron este álbum que es el icono de la banda.

In his home studio and revisiting old haunts in Shepherds Bush and Battersea, Pete Townshend opens his heart and his personal archive to revisit 'the last great album the Who ever made', one that took the Who full circle back to their earliest days via the adventures of a pill-popping mod on an epic journey of self-discovery. But in 1973 Quadrophenia was an album that almost never was. Beset by money problems, a studio in construction, heroin-taking managers, a lunatic drummer and a culture of heavy drinking, Townshend took on an album that nearly broke him and one that within a year the band had turned their back on and would ignore for nearly three decades. Contributors include: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Ethan Russell, Ron Nevison, Richard Barnes, Irish Jack Lyons, Bill Curbishley, John Woolf, Howie Edelson, Mark Kermode and Georgiana Steele Waller.

The Who perform a live set at The Summit, Houston, Texas on 20 November 1975. Probably the best 'official' bootleg ever. All the classics including Substitute, I Can't Explain, My Generation & Won't Get Fooled Again.
A 2-disc collection of live and TV performances by The Who. Before this release, several other bootleg DVDs had compiled the 1960s Who footage, with varying degrees of success. It's difficult, however, to imagine a better, more comprehensive one than this two-DVD collection, which assembles almost four hours of live, mimed, promo, interview, and documentary clips from various sources. The image and sound quality are usually as good as, or better than, what's seen or heard on those previous compilations.

Concert of the Who's first filming of the Rock Opera «Tommy» at London's opera house, the Coliseum, 14 December 1969. At this point, the Who were in full stride, playing behind Tommy and making waves where ever they went. This performance, as rough and raw as it seems, is the Who at their all-time nastiest. Opening with the powerful «Heaven And Hell», the group slays each number — «I Can’t Explain», «Fortune Teller», «Tattoo» — before ascending the mountain of conceptual copiousness.

Just seven years after wrapping up one of rock's first farewell tours, The Who returned to the stage in 1989 with another first: the classic album show. It was the 20th anniversary of Tommy, which seemed like a good excuse to book a bunch of stadiums and play the album along with a healthy dose of Who classics, aided by a mere 12 other musicians. This is The Who live at the Universal Amphitheater in Los Angeles, 24 August 1989.
Rhino Records is proud to present a 3-DVD boxed set showcasing one of the greatest live bands ever-The Who. Disc one features a live rendition of their full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy. Tommy was performed live in 1989 at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, with special guests Elton John, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Patti LaBelle, and Steve Winwood. Disc two contains the band's second rock opus, this time built around the story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the mid-60s. This live version of Quadrophenia, from the 1996/1997 U.S. Tour was the first time it was performed as Townshend and Daltrey had visualized it, with live action and featuring a then-unknown Alex Langdon in a spellbinding performance as Jimmy, the disillusioned Mod.

This event was produced by Richard Flanzer and Roger Daltrey of English rock band The Who in celebration of his fiftieth birthday. The Who's music was arranged for orchestra by Michael Kamen, who directed The Juilliard Orchestra for the event.

Live Aid (en español, ayuda en directo) fueron dos conciertos organizados por el líder y vocalista de la banda de rock The Boomtown Rats Bob Geldof, y el líder y vocalista de la banda de pop Ultravox Midge Ure, realizados el 13 de julio de 1985 de forma simultánea en el Estadio Wembley de Londres (Reino Unido) y en el John F. Kennedy Stadium de Filadelfia (Estados Unidos), con el motivo de recaudar fondos en beneficio de Etiopía y Somalia. Pocos meses antes, artistas principalmente británicos, publicaron la canción "Do They Know It's Christmas?" con los mismos fines, de igual forma los músicos estadounidenses colaboraron con la canción "We Are The World", para recaudar fondos.

La gira de 1982 de The Who, que fue toda en América del Norte, aparte de dos fechas de preparación en el Birmingham NEC en Inglaterra, fue la última en presentar a Kenney Jones en la batería y la banda no volvió a hacer gira hasta 1989. La gira promovió el reciente IT'S HARD, que había sido lanzado en junio de 1982, y la lista de canciones incluía varias pistas de ese álbum, algunas de las cuales la banda solo tocaría en vivo en esta gira. Esta película de concierto presenta el espectáculo de la segunda de sus dos noches en el Shea Stadium de Nueva York y fue filmada el 13 de octubre de 1982.

Organized by Paul McCartney and the United Nations, these concerts were in response to the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge’s reign, where three million persons perished in Cambodia. During the concerts, McCartney brought three generations of popular musicians together. The older generation included McCartney and the Wings, The Who and members of Procol Harum. The middle generation was represented by Queen and members of Led Zeppelin. Most notably, there was the new generation of mainly New Wavers and Punk Rockers, such as The Pretenders, Elvis Costello and The Attractions, Ian Dury and the Blockheads, The Clash, and The Specials.
The Who performs at the Rockpalast Festival in Grugahalle, Essen; in March of 1981.

La película fue principalmente trabajo del fan de la banda Jeff Stein, quien a pesar de que no tenía experiencia previa en el cine, fue convencido y apoyado por la banda para desempeñarse como director. Stein había producido un libro en 1970 con fotografías de los conciertos de la banda cuando sólo tenía 17 años. En 1975 se acercó a Pete Townshend, el compositor principal y guitarrista de The Who, para proponerle una compilación y colección de clips de la banda para proveer de una referencia histórica a los fans. Townshend quién incialmente rechazó la idea, fué persuadido por el mánager del grupo para darle un sí al proyecto.

The Who performed at the Chicago Amphitheater in Chicago, Illinois on December. 8th, 1979. The concert was broadcast live to several local movie theaters. The general consensus was that this show was the
best on the 1979 tour. The show was visually stunning. Many times Pete Townshend or Roger Daltrey would move to the front of the stage and direct the cameraman to focus in close, then unleash a mic twirl or scissors kick for the hungry crowd.
