I payed attention almost exclusively to their music. The behind the scenes stuff was unknown and never interested me. (As almost all my fave music is.)
Enter the 2014 documentary Lambert & Stamp.
Aspiring filmmakers Kit Lambert & Chris Stamp decide to manage an upcoming rock group, filming everything they can, in hopes of making both a successful band and an "in" into the movie industry.
Complications eventually ensued.
But this is not Metallica: Some Kind of Monster: A 2 hour Jerry Springer show. No Verbal and/or physical fisticuffs on screen.
This is the story of how The Who got started. There were some bad feelings later. But there is no question The Who wouldn't have been as successful without them - and it's fun to see why.
It's a big gray area. No one comes out smelling like a rose. But it's not all negative.
It's entertaining, interesting, and fun facts abound (Kit's influence on Pete's sound and song writing!)
