The Who’s Career-Spanning Doc ‘Amazing Journey’ Now Streaming for First Time

By Jon Blistein

Jon Blistein

The Who work out their 1978 classic “Who Are You” in a clip from their career-spanning documentary,   Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who , which is now available to stream for the first time on the Coda Collection.

The clip features some raw footage of the Who performing an energetic, albeit somewhat shaky version of “Who Are You” while filming their 1979 documentary, The Kids Are Alright . The performance marked the band’s first time together in more than a year, and as Pete Townshend quips in the clip, “Unfortunately the band didn’t play as well, but I think all of us had such a good time together. But we were all wrecks!”

The live performance is followed up by a much more meticulous and precise rendition of “Who Are You,” captured during the studio sessions for the band’s album of the same name. The album, however, would end up being the band’s last with drummer Keith Moon, whose death and struggles with addiction are also discussed in the final moments of the clip.

Amazing Journey was directed by Murray Lerner and Paul Crowder and first released in 2007. Anchored by interviews with Townshend and Roger Daltrey, the film tracks the band’s rise and career, and features a trove of previously unseen footage and performance clips.

“It’s not easy to capture in film the power and energy of any rock band, especially the four characters that made up the Who, the brilliance of Pete Townshend’s music, and the magic that happened between Pete, John, Keith and myself,” Daltrey said in a statement. “But Who fans tell me Amazing Journey does just that. From the moment that Keith joined us in the Railway Hotel back in 1964, it was like a bottle of champagne being uncorked. We just clicked. And here we are, all these years later — we’ve lost our dear bandmates Keith and John, and Pete and I continue to play together and carry this story forward. Thanks to Coda for putting this show up, and enjoy this film about our journey. I’m still living it!”

Directed by Murray Lerner and Paul Crowder, Amazing Journey features interviews with the group’s co-founders and surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, along with additional commentary by Sting, The Edge, Noel Gallagher, Eddie Vedder, and more.

The film also includes rare and previously unseen footage, performance clips, and more covering the band’s more than 50-year career, including some of the most poignant moments in the band’s history—the destruction of instruments on stage, the sudden deaths of Keith Moon and John Entwistle, and how the song “I Can’t Explain” landed them a record deal.

Posted by Buddy Iahn | Jul 13, 2021

The documentary is streaming for the first time ever via The Coda Collection

The acclaimed Grammy-nominated career-spanning documentary chronicling the history of The Who — Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who — is now available to stream for the first time exclusively on The Coda Collection.

Directed by Murray Lerner and Paul Crowder, and featuring interviews with the group’s co-founders and surviving members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey, Amazing Journey  is the definitive story of the British rock legends. Including rare and previously unseen footage, a treasure trove of performance clips and investigative forays into the group’s music and history, the film captures the band’s origins and influence over the course of their 50+ year career.

The film also documents pivotal moments in the band’s trajectory, including the emergence of 60s mod culture, the group’s reputation for destroying their instruments on-stage, how their hit “I Can’t Explain” got them a record deal on the spot, embracing new formats with their rock opera opus Tommy,  the sudden deaths of Keith Moon and John Entwistle, the delicate creative relationship between Daltrey and Townshend, the group’s historic appearance at The Concert For New York benefit in 2001, and much more. In addition to in-depth interviews with Townshend and Daltrey, the film features commentary from industry figures associated with the band’s career, as well as musical peers Eddie Vedder, Noel Gallagher, Sting, The Edge, Steve Jones, and more.

“It’s not easy to capture in film the power and energy of any rock band, especially the four characters that made up The Who, the brilliance of Pete Townshends’s music, and the magic that happened between Pete, John, Keith and myself. But Who fans tell me Amazing Journey does just that,” The Who’s Roger Daltrey shares. “From the moment that Keith joined us in The Railway Hotel back in 1964 it was like a bottle of champagne being uncorked. We just clicked. And here we are, all these years later — we’ve lost our dear bandmates Keith and John, and Pete and I continue to play together and carry this story forward. Thanks to Coda for putting this show up, and enjoy this film about our journey. I’m still living it!”
