Foreword by Pete Townshend. Tom Wright first met Pete Townshend at Ealing Art School in the early 60s.He became The Who's official tour photographer and manager from 1967 in the US, also managing the Grande Ballroom in Detroit where The Who's rock opera Tommy premiered.He was much more than the band's photographer, he was a friend and photographed them right up to their farewell tour in 1991.Tom's vast record collection and musical influences had a big impact on the band in their early years. Their Generation covers The Who's first tours of North America, a hugely creative time with explosive performances both on and off stage, the time of their US hit 'I Can See for Miles' and much more. Through the fabulous photographs, many of which have never been seen before, we see the band backstage, onstage, on tour, at rehearsal, at ease, in studio, at home.The photos will be accompanied by extended captions providing background details of the time, the people and the places. As well as The Who, Tom Wright toured with the Rolling Stones, the Faces, The James Gang, J.D. Elvis Costello, The Eagles and many more, documenting their performances and life on the road.
