"Eyesight to the Blind" is a song composed by a Blues singer called Sonny Boy Williamson, played with banjo by Townshed. "Sparks " is an abridged version of "Underture". "Amazing Journey" is a "psychedelic journey" in my opinion, with good bass byĮntwistle. The track called "1921" is one of my favourites from this album, with very good vocal arrangements by theīand and interesting guitars by Townshend.
The acoustic guitar instrumental section shows that Townshend is a Playing by Keith Moon, John Entwistle and Pete Townshend. The "Overture" is a great starting point, with John Entwistle playing brass instruments and very good The most interesting part of this album are the songs which were originally included in the Side One of the old L.P. But musically "Tommy" is still very interesting. Much better in content, more realistic and moving, and more universal in meaning.

I have to say that the story of this Rock Opera is not very good and sometimes it is very cruel.
Musicians to try to create long musical works based in stories. Opera" was "Progressive" in meaning, and the music in this album influenced Prog Rock, because it opened the minds of the Rock Still, I consider this album as a pioneering effort and I also think that the very new concept of a "Rock It as a very good album, but I like more other albums by The Who, which in my opinion are better ("Who`s Next", "Quadrophenia"Īnd "Who Are You"). This was the first album that I heard from The Who. I listened to this album for the first time in the early seventies. Resolution 5.1, and Dolby DSS + bonus disc w/ Outtakes & Demos.
