Synopsis
This excellent documentary tells of four Londoners: Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle and Keith Moon; who created their own style of rock music, sending fans into a frenzy the world over and surviving at the top for over forty amazing years. Please welcome to the stage, The Who.

They influenced many bands starting out in the late 1960s with "My Generation" becoming an anthem for disenchanted youth - especially in one particular North Coast country town, I recall.

From the makers of acclaimed documentary films No Direction Home: Bob Dylan, Riding Giants and Dogtown and Z-Boys comes this authorised portrait of the defining live act in popular music history, told in their own words.

Crammed with masses of never-before-seen footage, rare concert performances and exclusive interviews in which the band and those close to them share their thoughts and memories of The Who, their music and their history. From their roots as a 1960s pub cover band, with brilliant early footage of a gig in 1964 at the Railway Hotel, through all the fascinating ups and downs, twists and turns, stops and starts, successes and failures, follow them as they evolve through four decades of rock.

"They're all playing lead... it's insane!" - Noel Gallagher.
