About The Who | Live, Featuring the Rock Opera Tommy
This live rendition of The Who’s full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy was performed live in 1989 at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, with special guests Elton John, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Patti LaBelle, and Steve Winwood.
Directed by Larry Jordan, The Who | Live, Featuring the Rock Opera Tommy leans on a strong ensemble — Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about music titles of 1989.
