The Who History
Few bands in the history of rock & roll were riddled
with as many contradictions as the Who. All four
members had wildly different personalities, as their
notoriously intense live performances demonstrated.
The group was a whirlwind of activity, as the wild
Keith Moon fell over his drum kit and Pete Townshend
leaped into the air with his guitar, spinning his right
hand in exaggerated windmills. Vocalist Roger
Daltrey strutted across the stage with a thuggish
menace, as bassist John Entwistle stood silent,
functioning as the eye of the hurricane. These
divergent personalities frequently clashed, but these
frictions also resulted in a decade's worth of
remarkable music. During 1968, the Who delivered
their final mod single with the bizarre "Dogs." By that
time, the mod audience had declined considerably,
and the single bombed, sending Townshend into
seclusion to write a rock opera about a deaf, dumb
and blind boy with a gift for pinball. As he worked on
the record, the compilation Magic Bus The Who on
Tour was released in America.

The album became a huge hit, earning positive reviews from mainstream publications as well
as underground rock magazines. Tommy climbed into the American Top Ten as the group
supported the album with an extensive tour, where they played the opera in its entirety,
including dates at the London Coliseum and the Metropolitan Opera House in New York. In
some respects, Tommy became too successful, since it soon overshadowed the Who
themselves; it was performed as a play across the world and would eventually be filmed by
Ken Russell in 1975. While the legacy of Tommy would prove formidable, in 1970 Townshend
was stumped about how to follow it up. As he worked on new material, the group released Live
at Leeds in 1970, as well as the single "The Seeker." The following year a singles collection
called Meaty, Beaty, Big and Bouncy was released. Eventually, he settled on a sci-fi rock opera
called Lifehouse, which he intended to be strongly influenced by the teachings of his guru,
Meher Baba. Townshend also intended to incorporate electronics and synthesizers on the
album, pushing the group into new sonic territory.

The farewell tour didn't turn out to be the final goodbye from the Who. While Entwistle and Daltrey slowly faded away, Townshend continued recording to relative success. However, the Who still haunted him. The group reunited to play Live Aid in 1985, and three years later, they played a British music awards program. In 1989, Townshend agreed to reunite the band, with Jones being replaced by session drummer Simon Phillips, for a 25th anniversary tour of America. Whatever goodwill the Who had with many fans and critics was squandered on that tour, which was perceived as simply a way to make a lot of money. The Who reunited again in 1994 for two concerts to celebrate Roger Daltrey's 50th birthday. In October 2001, they played the Concert for NYC benefit for families of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks. |
