The Who: Live at the London Coliseum 1969

Directed by Christopher Stamp, Kit Lambert

Written by Pete Townshend

Concert of the Who's first filming of their rock opera Tommy at London's opera house, the Coliseum, 14 December 1969. At this point, the Who were in full stride, playing behind Tommy and making waves where ever they went. This performance, as rough and raw as it seems, is the Who at their all-time nastiest. Opening with the powerful Heaven And Hell, the group slays each number — I Can’t Explain, Fortune Teller, Tattoo — before ascending the mountain of conceptual copiousness.
