Oscar-winning filmmaker Murray Lerner and co-director Paul Crowder draw on the essential themes of The Who's music and lyrics to craft a definitive audio-visual document of the influential band's timeless legacy. From their origins as a 1960s R&B cover band to their transformation into the band that changed the course of rock and roll history, Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, and John Entwistle's unstoppable, arena shaking juggernaut is followed as the men behind the music experience triumph and tragedy over the course of the following decades. Authorized by the band, the film speaks with family and friends to explore the meteoric rise of The Who as unreleased performance footage from Monterey, Woodstock, The Concert for NYC and other landmark concerts show fans the scenes that, until this release, they have only been able to read about. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
