THE WHO Movie Shows Evolution Of PETE TOWNSHEND And ROGER DALTREY's Relationship
The Pulse Of Radio has issued the following report from Howie Edelson:
The filmmakers of the new documentary Amazing Journey: The Story Of THE WHO, say that the movie examines Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey's relationship.
The film's producer, Nigel Sinclair, told Billboard, "We discerned from it that the most interesting thing was the evolution of Pete and Roger's relationship. The fact that these two are able to continue as the Who, it is almost like it was meant to be that way. Discovering, as we did from interviewing them, what the magic or their working partnership was, that was very exciting."
Pete Townshend says that the deaths of Keith Moon and John Entwistle ultimately made his and Daltrey's relationship stronger and more meaningful on both a creative and personal level: "I think being stratified to some extent by losing Keith Moon and losing John Entwistle, relatively recently in John's case -- we have each other. And we're supported by great musicians and we're very, very lucky. We go back to school together. It's great to still have that friendship and that relationship. You know, I don't know that I know anybody that well from those days. But when you're 60 and you have friends that go back 45 years, that's very cool."
Amazing Journey: The Story Of The Who premiered earlier this month at the Toronto Film Festival, and includes many previously unseen performances.
Then film features archival interviews with late Who co-founders, Keith Moon and John Entwistle, along with new and exclusive interviews with Townshend, Daltrey, former Who drummer Kenney Jones, Daltrey's wife Heather, Entwistle's first wife Allison, Moon's mother Kit Moon, his sister Leslie Fox, original Who co-manager Chris Stamp, producers Shel Talmy and Glyn Johns, longtime sound man Bobby Pridden, and the Who's manager for over 30 years, Bill Curbishley.
Also appearing in the film are longtime fans, Sting, Eddie Vedder, the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones, the Edge and Oasis' Noel Gallagher.
A deluxe DVD version of the film will be released on November 6th.
