The Who Concert File

by Joe McMichael, 'Irish' Jack Lyons, Jack Lyons

In this small format version of the best-selling book, Joe McMichael and Irish Jack Lyons assemble an amazingly thorough chronicle of live performances played by the hardest working rock n roll band of all time. The Who clocked up a staggering 2,000 plus live concerts in a career that saw them play everywhere from West London pubs, via the Monterey, Woodstock and Isle of Wight Festivals, to Wembley Stadium, and Madison Square Garden. Features over 1,500 gigs, including set-lists, eye-witness accounts and background notes, backstage dramas, audience reactions, and on-stage rants. Now updated and amended to include all the concerts of the American tour of 2002 that was overshadowed by the sudden death of John Entwistle. With a foreword by Pete Townshend and contributions by leading Who commentators, including Chris Charlesworth, co-producer of The Who s acclaimed 4-CD box set.

[jacky]

This is another one that wasn't a cover to cover read. This books chronicles every tour and concert the Who ever did up until 1997, which sadly seems to stop before I ever got to see them. :( I have skimmed through, like looking up the day I was born and looking at the pictures, but it isn't the kind of book I would read cover to cover like Before I Get Old.

[John Trembly]

Essential for anyone calling themselves a Who fan.
