The Who came out with the Concept of a Rock Opera, where the Albums songs followed an ongoing story!
The Songs from Tommy were brilliant and it was made into a Movie .
I even had a Vinyl Album by the London Symphony Orchestra performing Tommy, Excellent!
The Who's "Live at Leeds " album was considered by many, to be the best Live Album , ever recorded!
It was not filmed , so I have supplied you with a full Live Concert below, also Outstanding!
Not content with the Success of Tommy , The Who Constructed another Rock Opera , Quadrophenia about the Mods and Rocker Gangs and some of the Strife between them.
Also made into a Movie ( Sting was in it)
You can find the Movies on YouTube if you wish to see them?
John Entwistle died in a Hotel Room in 2002 , one day before the first concert of their American Tour!
Four Days Later they carried on with their Tour!
My opinion below but what do I know?
To me the only Bassist who could have really done him justice was Billy Sheehan!

I have posted these as a Tribute to probably the most innovative Rock Band ever!
Another Great YouTube Video you can find on Youtube is The Amazing Journey-The Story of the Who.
Great bands and music. Really loved them.
Very nice band with original style
Also i appreciate this type of song, as you like @awgbibb

Cheers~
Wow wonderful video my friend well done i upvoted your post..
Rock Opera Amazing Old GOld
Beautiful Fairy Tale illustration ✨
Good stuff. I've seen the movie Quadrophenia but not the other one. I've never really been a fan of The Who but that's mainly because I don't know much about them, so need to do some more research of my own!
I thought Movie -wise , that Tommy was better!
Ok… well that sounds like a plan for a quiet Sunday afternoon - watch Tommy!
So, Hope you enjoyed Tommy , today?
No, I didn't see it! It wasn't quite the quiet Sunday I had planned… but it's on the list as one of the next movies to watch :)
I think long time ago the brand they are play better than right now good I’m enjoy 😉
Something special The Who's "Live at Leeds " album.
The concert is mind blowing. And I will must take a deep look on Who. This is so beautiful thing which I got in 2018. Thanks for sharing and Stay Blessed dear @awgbibb!
This sounds like a 'rockin band' XD (i know that was bad)
that's go great of you ..rock band was a way famous in thr old times nowdayd ots going down because of so many competitions..
Excellent rock bands. Who's album Who's Live is my brother's favorite album. Thanks for reminding me.
I'm going to resteem this thanks for a cute post

outstanding performance they have done in the video
Fantastic music video,i like it and upvoted
these are really amazing band awesome one
This is the best I enjoy this music @awgbib
They seem to be very popular and moreover the crazy fans :)
they are indeed innovative that is for sure !
I got introduced to the Who late in my teen years but when I did I was hooked. John Entwistle was indeed one of the best bass players on the planet. Not sure about Sheehan being his only replacement but it could be a good mix......
Well they did bring in Pino Palladino one of the top Session Players ( later with John Meyer) and they had to bring in a Brass section to fill it out more ! Sheehan also has that kind of Lead Bass style with the Bridge Pickup and the Neck Pickup going through different systems, I ( in my not very humble Opinion ) reckon that was what was needed! Appreciate your comment!
they have swag, that is for sure!
Awesome music video my friend.
The Who again
Excellent music collection & wonderful article.
~Followed & Upvoted
yeah they are rocking band.
What a sound, not just rock, I was thinking how we should name it... or is it just to the typical sound while singing, because the band rocks for sure
Awesome!
Even more then awesome !
Awesomer than Awesome...
Who? 😉
Wow their style is awesome, who the curious sounding band hehe.
You can say how crazy their fan base was by their tours crowd.
Great band, would love to listen to their songs.
Now you can!
My husband loved Quadrophenia , and especially the style! I have a few very dodgy (but adorable) photos of his fashion sense!!!
Was he a Mod or a Rocker?
The one that was more punk??? I watched the movie ages ago too, but I can't remember much but bikes? Or am I off now?
The Mods tended to ride Scooters and dress very fashionably ( for the Day) , The Rockers were pretty much like the Bike Gangs of today
I think the Mods, as he termed his style New Romantic. But there was also a bit of punk mixed in.
Enjoyed a lot listening, those are legendary videos.
superb post i like music with bass sound
omg this band has got some really huge fan following
I will be watching that convert tonight. I loved the Rock Opera Tommy. It was a lot deeper than most people realise. Thanks for these musical gems.
My pleasure!
All the music is great there.
The Who are one of greatest rock bands. Legends.
@awgbibb Fantastic music
