Tommy


The Who

Tommy was the first 1969 Rock Opera from UK cult band The Who. The story is about a deaf & blind boy who plays pinballs. The premiere was in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. After Amsterdam they played at Woodstock in the same year.

Some 1969 tracks from Amsterdam and Woodstock;
- Tommy's Ouverture, Amsterdam 1969
- Tommy Can You Hear Me, Amsterdam 1969
- Tommy's Holiday Camp, Amsterdam 1969
- Tommy's Holiday Camp, Woodstock 1969
- Pinball Wizzard, Amsterdam 1969
- Pinball Wizzard, Woodstock 1969

These tracks are the full originals from Amsterdam;
- track 1 [50MB./46:00min.]
- track 2 [35MB./29:00min.]
- track 3 [30MB./25:00min.]
- track 4 [33MB./27:00min.]

This is not just pop history [which it is] but this is foremost great music; when you take the time to listen to an opera

Enjoy
