Greatest Side A, Track 1 on a 1969 Rock Album

[RaceBannon]

Pete's rock opera phase. Tommy was two years before Who's Next which was the remnants of another rock opera followed by Quadraphenia, another rock opera
The movie rocketed Tommy to greater heights than the original release. The Quad movie bombed but it's a cool album

Tommy (studio LP) doesn't hold up well at all these days. It's lacks the energy and power of their live performances. The Live at Leeds extended version with Tommy tracks kicks ass.
Who's Next and Quad still sound great and not dated at all.
