We are somewhat surprised but pleased to be able to offer once again a few copies for sale. By chance, a stock re-organisation within Universal Records unearthed some mint copies of The Who Live, a title which for three years has been sold-out but much sought after here at Genesis. We're sure another opportunity like this won't be coming along again so if you want this highly acclaimed volume in your library, now would be a good time to act.

Featuring photographs by Jim Cummins, Carl L. Dunn, Robert Ellis, Ross Halfin, Laurens van Houten, Jim Marshall, Terry O'Neill, Barry Plummer, Ron Pownall, Chuck Pulin, Michael Putland, Jean-Louis Rancurel, Christian Rose, the Trinifold Archive, Chris Walter, Barry Wentzell, Michael Zagaris and Neil Zlozower.

'The Who Live is a breathtaking testament to the group's unparalleled reputation as the ultimate rock experience.'
Record Collector magazine

'.. published by Genesis Publications in the usual exquisite packaging, The Who Live is a must for every fan.'
World of Music Journal

"I am incredibly grateful to the devoted and hard-working photographers who took all these pictures, who rose to the mystical energy of The Who with their own talent and captured some of the extraordinary moments... This is an outstanding piece of work. It's amazing to find so many images in this book that I'd never seen before and never even knew existed. It's fantastic."
Pete Townshend

This remarkable limited edition book charts the band's performances from the early days in the Sixties through to Pete Townshend's recent Lifehouse shows at Sadler's Wells in London, with emphasis on the legendary tours of the Seventies when the band were labelled the greatest live rock'n'roll band in the world. Accompanying the photographs are observations by Glyn Johns, Ross Halfin, Matt Kent, as well as the featured photographers.

"We were carried and inspired by some energy and power that was higher than any we ourselves could generate."

Pete Townshend

Never before has such a remarkable anthology of images from the world's most celebrated photographers been assembled in one benchmark volume.

"This fine collection of photographs, reproduced and presented in this beautiful and very desirable limited edition volume by Genesis goes a long way towards defining the essence of The Who - the greatest live rock band who always delivered unparalleled music."
