Toronto. Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who.

"Paul Crowder and Murray Lerner have packed 40 years of history into two hours and created the definitive historical archive of The Who, arguably one of the greatest rock bands there ever was, is and forever will be," writes Mack at Twitch.

"Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who features a wealth of archival footage and snappy interviews with the surviving bandmates and shows how a bunch of working-class lads can inspire each other to transcend enduring rock anthems and create the high pantheon category of rock opera," writes Stephen Garrettt at indieWIRE.

November 6 sees the DVD release, but not just any DVD release, evidently. The doc itself is two hours long; an accompanying disc runs another two hours. Amazing Journey: Six Quick Ones features just that: four shorts on each of the band members; another on the Mod and Pop Art visual history of the band; and a sixth, Who's Back, shot by DA Pennebaker, captures a 2003 recording session.
