Who\u2019s better? Who\u2019s best!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Song is over? It sounds impossible, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

This fine magazine is out in UK shops tomorrow. But as this 172-page Definitive Edition Ultimate Music Guide to The Who<\/a> reaches the USA, it will be doing so as The Who embark on their farewell North American tour, which begins in Florida on August 16th, winding up in Las Vegas on September 26th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, all good things must come to an end,\u201d Pete\u00a0Townshend said at the announcement in early May. \u201cIt is a poignant time. For me, playing to American audiences and those in Canada has always been incredible\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Well might he think that. Never mind the musical triumphs at generational events like Monterey (1967) or Woodstock (1969), or playing Tommy<\/strong> live for the first time at classical music venues. The USA was also a scene of great legend-making notoriety. That might mean detonating a chunk of a TV studio on the Smothers Brothers show or being banned from the Holiday Inn chain of hotels following Keith Moon\u2019s birthday party. It was their playground, and \u2013 to be momentarily vulgar \u2013 also a place where they made a lot of money.<\/p>\n

The Who\u2019s incredible story \u2013 via in-depth reviews of their stunning catalogue, to alarming recollections of Keith Moon\u2019s high spirits, not to mention insightful interviews with Pete Townshend \u2013 are to be found in this new magazine. If you ever feel at sea in all those pages, our eight-page Miscellany timeline will quickly put you back on course.<\/p>\n

But what of The Who, 2025? A new box set is said to be in the works, with UK dates possibly to follow \u2013 although Roger Daltrey was certainly hedging his bets when he faced questions about such a tour in May. \u201cLet\u2019s see if we survive this one\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, enjoy the magazine.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
