I got teary-eyed, enraptured to see it all unfolding in the magic of theater, the lighting, the settings and the performances from professionals who let you know right away this is the real deal, and these are the big boys and girls playing. And now I see several comments from those who also shed tears of joy. It's good to know I'm not alone!

Gotta give it up for Ali Louis Bourzgui. The Who has been my favorite band for over 20 years, and Tommy got me into them. I’ve seen them 4 times and watched every DVD and video I could find when I was a teenager, always honing in on Tommy. I was skeptical given how associated Roger Daltrey is with the role voice of Tommy in my mind, but the second Ali started singing, I felt myself amazed, as if he was both channeling and honoring Roger’s gruffness and also making it his own. I watched this with my Mom, who got me into them when I was 15, and we were both crying tears of joy by the end and laughing at ourselves. Now we’re talking about going to New York and seeing this! It looks like an amazing production, and it warms my heart to see Pete, who got me into rock music as well as playing the guitar (which I still do every day), still out there doing what he loves and seeming really happy doing it. The Who will never cease to inspire me to live a better, more purposeful, more energized life. So cool that Pete and Ali connected to share Tommy with the world once again.

I did too, and I thought it was actually lackluster. The movie was campy, but had an amazing cast and the band was in it.

It's such a great story, and the music never gets old. Pete? Yeah he is old and raking in the bucks once again. Roger Daltrey does not paint a great picture of the man in his book, and I found his own biography to be boring and self centered. Just my opinions here, so please be nice with comments if you can.

BRILLIANT vocalist…..Such HEART and SOUL in the way he SINGS the words…..Not that Roger wasn’t brilliant too. …I first was listening to the Who when I was just 9 years old in 1971 …As a kid that age I was going into W H Smiths or Boots and buying their singles around the time Whose Next ….Like with the Beatles I later went back and listened to their earlier stuff later. ‘Let’s See Action ‘ just did something to me back then. That ending with Roger’s voice being put through that repeat echo unit with those harmonies and that acoustic guitar I would carry around inside my head right thru junior school everywhere….As a song ‘Join Together’ just blew my mind with its combination of original sounds and sheer stratospheric exuberance….And when I first heard the futuristic synth chords and power growl distortion riffs of ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ on this portable radio set upstairs radio set I remember as a kid just going crazy jumping on my parents bed like a trampoline with a Slazenger tennis racket pretending to play guitar like I was absolutely NUTS…lol,,,and this was before I even knew who Deep Purple were or Ritchie Blackmore Ah, the flashbacks.😊 Halcyon days.🎉 remember that Entwistle song -‘When I Was a Boy’ -those lyrics ..’when I was a baby, I hadn’t a care in the world. But now I’m a man my troubles fill my head. When I was five it was good to be alive but now I’m a man I wish that I was dead…and I count up all those wasted years…The hopes and the fears. The laughs and the tears, and I wonder,,, I wonder, I wonder what went wrong’….When I hear that music in my head today with those words my eyes just fill up…Sounds silly I know…But in the end,,,aloft,, there is only love ❤😢

Hey I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.

this movie was released and it changed rock music forever! Such an amazing thing to watch and hear and fall deep into it. I never tire of it! Roger Daltrey was the man!!!

Pete is the greatest songwriter of all time - this, the r&b hits, the 70s stadium rockers and I didn't even mention quadrophenia...
