Pete Townshend: It’s, “You’ve got to go on, man. Otherwise, all those kids, they’ll be finished! They’ll have nothing to live for.” That’s rock-n-roll.
This documentary is composed entirely of performances on TV shows, filmed concerts, and contemporary interviews of The Who, who by this time were the oldest intact rock band other than the Rolling Stones.
It explores their career from the beginning through triumphs and rocky patches. The boys are all cheeky intelligent interviewees. I enjoyed this a lot.
