Two years after reissuing Quadrophenia as a super deluxe box set, The Who are giving the same treatment to their other, more-renowned rock opera, Tommy.
The 3-CD/1-BD set include a newly remastered edition of the original album on one CD, a second disc of previously unissued demos and outtakes, and third CD of a 1969 live performance (drawn from numerous shows).
Tommy, The Who’s fifth album, effectively added the phrase “rock opera” into the lexicon. Chief songwriter Pete Townshend had previously experimented with extended song forms, most notably on 1966’s “A Quick One While He’s Away” from the A Quick One album. But Tommy, produced by Kit Lambert, crystallized Townshend’s lofty ambitions into an electrifying work that was as creative as it was accessible. With Roger Daltrey in the title role of the “deaf, dumb and blind boy,” Tommy combined muscular rock riffs with a rich array of characters that made the work so appealing to directors of both stage and screen. Cinematic auteur Ken Russell brought Tommy to life in an exceedingly bizarre film version in 1975, and Des McAnuff worked with Townshend to give Tommy, Captain Walker, Cousin Kevin, Uncle Ernie and the rest stage immortality in 1993 via the Broadway musical The Who’s Tommy. Those weren’t the only indelible incarnations of Tommy, though. The band’s Woodstock performance has gone down in history, and other memorable versions include the original 1970 Seattle Opera staging (with the young Bette Midler as the Acid Queen!) and Lou Reizner’s 1972 symphonic concert event, preserved on its own two-LP set.
The box set’s second disc of 25 demos and outtakes premieres 21 tracks from Pete Townshend’s archive. A further three songs are repeated from the 2003 Deluxe Edition 2-CD set. (Alas, that leaves 14 tracks from that set not repeated on the new box.) A fourth previously issued track, “Young Man Blues” as performed by The Who, has only been released on the vinyl sampler The House That Track Built.
The third CD, drawn from various live performances of Tommy from 1969, consists of previously unissued material. 18 of the live tracks are taken from a live show at the Capital Theatre, Ottawa, Canada on October 15, 1969. Three others (“I’m Free,” “Tommy’s Holiday Camp” and “We’re Not Gonna Take It”) were lost due to tape reels being changed during the show, so the versions here have been taken from later shows dating from the same era.
