Imagens ao vivo nunca antes vistas e recolhas de arquivo estão na origem do DVD «Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who» e do filme «Six Quick Ones», que serão editados a 6 de Novembro.
Ambos os DVD foram feitos com a ajuda de Pete Townshend e Roger Daltrey, membros sobreviventes dos The Who. Os dois músicos foram mais longe e contribuiram com imagens suas.
Nigel Sinclair, o produtor, disse à Billboard que o filme mostra como «chegar ao topo». Por outro lado, parte das imagens chegaram de fãs através da Internet.
Sinclair destacou uma gravação em que os The Who tocam num hotel londrino, em 1964. Já o responsável pela pós-produção fez «um trabalho sem precedentes em que trabalhou diferentes formatos», disse Sinclair.
AO DVD é narrado por nomes como Sting, Eddie Vedder, The Edge e Noel Gallagher.
The Who lançam DVD com imagens inéditas
(The following from from Hollywood reporter.com)
"The movie gathers a wealth of live performances -- from a small club set dating back to their short incarnation as the High Numbers through a gig from earlier this year -- to keep the faithful entertained. For younger fans, the two-hour running time is fleshed out with a straightforward recap of the group's career. Moving at a brisk pace without skimping on details, "Journey" starts in war-ravaged London (noting that Pete Townshend was born the hour of Nazi architect Albert Speer's arrest) and lays out the skiffle-band pop scene that enco uraged young Roger Daltrey to believe playing music for money was a realistic ambition. The tale progresses from the formation of the Detours through the fateful arrival of an orange-haired (thanks to a botched, Beach Boys-inspired peroxide job), puppy-dog-eyed drummer named Keith Moon. "Amazing Journey" is an authorized portrait, benefiting from ample new interviews with Daltrey and Townshend. If the surviving bandmates don't wallow in unhappy chapters of the band's tale, they also don't pretend they don't exist: We see plenty about Moon's misbehavior, hear a brief acknowledgement that John Entwistle's death.....". Released on October 29th.
