Synopsis

A completely revised and updated edition of the best book written on one of the world's greatest, and most explosive, rock bands: The Who. Organized by year, it has all the most current information, and will coincide with the release of the band's first new album in 32 years. The Who put on one of the most astounding stage shows ever seen (culminating in a blaze of smashed-up instruments) and took popular music to new heights with the first rock opera. Together, songwriter Pete Townshend, sexy lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist John Entwhistle, and drumming wild man Keith Moon redefined rock. Here, in a series of day-to-day diaries brimming with enthusiasm, thoroughness, and fresh information, is the tale of their performing career. The authors gained rare access to various official archives, many not viewed before; to friends and associates (some of whom had never spoken publicly about their relationship with the group); and to Pete, Roger, and John themselves. Three hundred photos capture the charismatic band, Daltrey has contributed a foreword, and the diaries recount club dates, TV appearances, auditions, and recordings. No Who fan can do without this unprecedented and engrossing look at the band. "650 images...capture The Who's journey from raucous r&b interpreters to roiling rockers..."--The Washington Post

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

'clearly a labour of love... will doubtless stand for all time as the definitive record' Record Collector

For two turbulent decades, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, Keith Moon and Pete Townshend went on a rock and roll rampage that would forever alter the course of rock music history.

Featuring a foreword by Roger Daltrey and former manager Chris Stamp, and with text by veteran Who biographers Andy Neill and Matt Kent, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere is the most dynamic and indispensable day-to-day chronicle of the band's wild ride ever compiled.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The most dynamic day-to-day chronicle of the band ever compiled. Organised by year, each chapter of the book gives an overview of the band's fortunes and presents in diary fashion exactly what the boys were doing including detailed information about concert tours, radio and television gigs, recording sessions, record releases and solo activities.

Providing a unique insight into the members' professional and personal relationships, there are also quotes from the band members as well as from individuals who knew them and worked with them throughout the years.

A unique collection of rare photographs and memorabilia puts the reader in the front row of one of the greatest rock acts ever to appear on stage.
