From mid-1970 to early 1974, The Who undertook an amazing and peculiar journey in which they struggled to follow up Tommy with a yet bigger and better rock opera.

The other, Quadrophenia , was as down-to-earth as the multimedia Lifehouse was futuristic. issued as a double album in 1973, it eventually became esteemed as one of The Who's finest achievements, despite initial unfavorable comparisons to Tommy.

The results included some of rock's most ambitious failures, and some of its most spectacular triumphs. In Won't Get Fooled Again , noted rock writer and historian Richie Unterberger documents this intriguing period in detail, drawing on many new interviews. obscure rare archive sources and recordings. and a vast knowledge of the music of the times. The result is a comprehensive, articulate history that sheds new light on the band's innovations and Pete Townshend's massive ambitions, some of which still seem ahead of their time in the early 21st century.
