 Editor's Note
 This epic two-volume set matches the grand sounds created by one of rock's most influential bands. AMAZING JOURNEY: THE STORY OF THE WHO chronicles the group's reign in music history with two full-length feature documentaries. In THE STORY OF THE WHO, all four band members--Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon--share their thoughts on their rise to fame. This documentary also includes rare film footage, as well as praise from famous fans such as Eddie Vedder, U2's The Edge, and Sting. SIX QUICK ONES features four short films that focus on each of the band's musicians, all legends in their own right. This second volume also features WHO ART YOU?, an exploration of the band's connection to visual art, and WHO'S BACK, a film from D.A. Pennebaker (DON'T LOOK BACK) about the band's 2003 return to the studios. Both casual and avid fans of the rockers will be pleased by the exhaustive and exhilarating footage found in AMAZING JOURNEY.

| | Professional Reviews | Rolling Stone 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "[S]inger Roger Daltrey emerges as its thoughtful heart, reflecting on lunacy and loss with the vivid, emotional force he brings to Townshend's songs." 11/01/2007 p.94Variety 8 of 10 [Story] Like that greatest-hits collection that gathers material scattered over different labels and lesser works from a band's canon in one convenient package, "Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who" is a one-stop, up-to-the-minute overview of a band that's been profiled in docu form on many occasions but is still making music, and headlines, in sporadic bursts...In extensive, fresh interviews, surviving band members Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, who both look terrific for their ages (both are in their 60s), come out swinging with cheerful, expletive-laden soundbites on the band's gestation and early struggles. Much time and detail are given over to drummer Keith Moon, who died of an accidental overdose in 1978, and bassist John Entwistle, who succumbed to a cocaine-induced heart attack on the eve of the band's 2002 tour...Tech package is both slick and unfussy, with a visual scheme -- story chapters using Who lyrics and emerging from the label of an album entitled "Amazing Journey" -- that's less precious onscreen than it sounds. - Eddie Cockrell
