Note:
Stick around after the screening for a Q&A with Sound Opinions cohosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot.
Scope out a bell-bottom-clad Pete Townshend and the rest of the boys as they tromp through a decade of interviews, drum-smashing, and original recordings in this 1979 rockumentary from Who-superfan-turned-filmmaker Jeff Stein. Chicago Public Radio's Sound Opinions hosts this tenuous look at the disintegration of a rock band through the lens of controversy, performance, and the spiraling downfall of legendary drummer Keith Moon. Catch screen gems like the band's 1967 appearance on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and live minutes of "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Barbara Ann."
