Anyway Anyhow Anywhere: The Complete Chronicle of THE WHO 1958-1978

by Andy Neill, Matthew Kent, Matt Kent

Book Overview

The Who redefined rock--and these day-to-day diaries brim with authentic details about the band's career, right up until drummer Keith Moon's tragic death.

Customer Reviews

The Music Must Change!

The greatest band of all time and the greatest live rock and roll band chronicled meticulously in an incredible book!!! A MUST HAVE!!

all the dates played

This is a very detailed account of the the officail dates the WHO played once they became big enough to draw crowds. If you are a WHO fan get this book. I actually read the book coffee table size book which makes the pictures easier to look at. A great read.

Best Rock Book

I thouroughly enjoy looking through this detailed day to day story of The Who. I have a similarly styled book on the Stones and this one of The Who is infinitely better. Whenever I have free time I look through this fantastic book and I am utterly amazed at it's thouroughness and, simply put, it is a great delight to read. The writing is superb and interesting and the photographs are of top quality. My compliments go out to the authors.

Magnificent.

This book is among the crème de la crème of all rock books and the product of sensational original research. The work that Neill and Kent must have put in to uncover all this information and these breathtaking illustrations, many of them never seen before, is simply awesome to consider. The result is no mere list but an absorbing, factually spot-on history, a living, breathing, driving account of the lives of four fascinating and highly original young men. Entwistle, Daltrey, Townshend and Moonie - this is/was your lives. (I heard the authors met with Entwistle and presented him their book just a couple of days before the guitarist died. He returned the compliment by enjoying a long look through the book and signing them a generous message in one of their copies.) This book is not cheap to buy but it is simply packed with love and devotion. Treat yourself.

This book shows what The Who was all about!

This book beautifully shows the rise, the highlights and ultimately the fall (with Keith Moon's death)of the very best band ever!Both in words and vision it follows the band, with their payed concerts as a guide-line. A lot of the images in it are shown for the very first time, which makes it a unique document in itself.As said by the authors, The Who were not as televised, interviewed, and exposed in a way for example The Beatles and The Rolling Stones were in those early days.Which makes this book a great effort!Ofcourse this is must-read for Who-fans, but it is also a greatdocument for anyone who is interested in music-history, or the social movements seen in Britain in the sixties and seventies.Buy it!
