The Who - The Making of Tommy

This documentary captures the essence of The Who's journey in 1968 while crafting the album Tommy. The film features band members Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon as they reflect on the challenges they faced, including their need for a major breakthrough after a series of unsuccessful singles.

Inspired by the teachings of Meher Baba, Pete Townshend introduced the character of Tommy, the 'deaf, dumb and blind boy'. This character became central to the album's narrative, which ultimately resonated with millions, leading to over 20 million copies sold. The film offers a unique perspective on how the band's experiences during this time not only shaped the music but also transformed their lives and careers.
