The Who Biography
The Who began as The Detours, a band started by guitarist Roger Daltrey (born March 1st, 1944) in London in the summer of 1961. In early 1962 Roger recruited John Entwistle (born October 9th, 1944), a bass guitarist who had been playing in bands based at their mutual school of Acton County Grammar. John then suggested as an additional guitarist--his school and band friend Pete Townshend (born May 19th, 1945). The five-piece band also had Doug Sandom as drummer and Colin Dawson as singer.

| Absolutely the greatest rock band ever!. I have seen them live every tour since 1979 and they seem to get better everytime. The music (and the band) are timeless!!! | ||

| I agree 100%. There is nothing like the Who live. The experience for me was surreal and I will have to see them again. If I don't meet Pete Townsend in this life time, I know we will meet on the other side. I only hope Keith is there too! Shoni Sims | ||
