Organized by year, it has all the most current information, and will coincide with the release of the band's first new album in 32 years.
The Who put on one of the most astounding stage shows ever seen (culminating in a blaze of smashed-up instruments) and took popular music to new heights with the first rock opera. Together, songwriter Pete Townshend, sexy lead singer Roger Daltrey, guitarist John Entwhistle, and drumming wild man Keith Moon redefined rock. Here, in a series of day-to-day diaries brimming with enthusiasm, thoroughness, and fresh information, is the tale of their performing career. The authors gained rare access to various official archives, many not viewed before; to friends and associates (some of whom had never spoken publicly about their relationship with the group); and to Pete, Roger, and John themselves. Three hundred photos capture the charismatic band, Daltrey has contributed a foreword, and the diaries recount club dates, TV appearances, auditions, and recordings. No Who fan can do without this unprecedented and engrossing look at the band.

 Coffee table WhoMar 24, 2008
As an happy owner of many, many books about The Who and Townshend, Moon, Entwistle and Daltrey, this coffee table style hardbound edition is one of the better things out there available for purchase.
This book, serves as an timeline of all things: "Who" from 1958-1978 {When Keith passed away, it has never really been The Who, since that Time onwards.} At 304 pages, this day-by-day diary of the band, is very good, and the information included herein will give lot's of insight for new fans of this great group. But, for us: 'ol-timers', the wealth of the contents of: "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhwere", lies in the photos and graphic work that has been included here. Lot's of this material has not been reproduced outside of England since the sixties and seventies, and even all you hard-core, Who fanatics out there, HAVE NOT seen a lot of these wonderful photo's before.
Again, there are plenty of books about: The Who and it's members on the shelves, and you should shop around to see which one is for you. But, if I were to rate any Who book as perfect for your living room coffee table, this one along with: "The Who~Maximum R&B" by Richard Barnes, would indeed fill that purpose just fine.
This is a big, fun, meaty. beaty & bouncy, visual history of The Who.
Four Stars !!!

Only for CollectorsMay 09, 2004
I would only recomend this book to collectors simply because of the overwhelming amount of trivial information in it. (though being an avid Who fan myself, i loved every word of it...)
However if you are willing to spend the money it is a beautiful book, filled with hundreds of high quality photos of the band and various who-related memerobillia. The information is sorted chronologically(day by day) and includes only the years when Keith played with the Who. The information ranges from day to day events (concerts, appearances) to more behind-the-scenes information, including direct quotes from band members, etc. Do not buy this book expecting any sort of sensationalism, it is very matter of fact and does not delve deeply into the personal lives of the band members.
Despite all that, I thought this book was worth every penny and have greatly enjoyed it. It is a wonderful look at the progression of The Who and their music.

I purchased this book for eight dollars!Feb 11, 2004
And it's a damn good copy too! I don't know what the WHO are really all about (but isn't that why they're the Who?) but I bought this thing because I am intrigued by the Who's motives on conquering their generations! You get to see wedding photos of John and Pete's wives, and Keith's hot blonde girl! But is Roger...never mind. I can't exlain how big this book is, although the Who aren't the Beatles because they are wild and violent and grossly unpredictable. But hey, their song "Baba O'Reilly" is hilarious!
