The Who's 'Tommy' is one of the most emotionally charged pieces to come out of the 60's, and the broadway show captures that emotion even better than the original album. I would do anything to come across a video of the entire Broadway show (anyone have one?), but this documentary, along with the cast recording, has made me safely able to say that 'Tommy', in my opinion, is the best show out there. This video is a must-have for fans of the Who, the 'Tommy' album, or the broadway musical. Through entertaining interviews with the creators, contributers, and stars of various incarnations of 'Tommy', along with loads of clips from the Who's early days all the way up to the broadway show, 'The Who's Tommy: the Amazing Journey' perfectly describes the emotional impact of the music, while giving a great in-depth look at the Who, the story, and what it took to get this amazing piece to the stage.

This video is a compliment to the wonderful compilation of music created by The Who. A must experience for any avid fan of The Who. It is somewhat reminiscent of the film " The Kids Are Alright" and shares some of the same footage. I am fortunate to have a copy on laser disc to be preserved well into the next century. Catch it if you can!!

Very disapointing. It's like a paid commercial to sell the Broadway version of Tommy. Nothing new to see here. Contains a few short (10 seconds at most) excerpts of live Who concerts.
Don't waste your money and your time on this one.

The Who's Tommy has some of the best music and plot out of any movie

best show to hit the stage!

I haven't actually seen this, but I know it would be good. As soon as I get my sweaty hands on it, I'll confirm my rating.
