The concept album 'Tommy' is considered one of the highlights in the artistic work of The Who and especially Pete Townshends, who composed almost all the tracks on the album. May 1969 Tommy was released as a double LP by Track Records in Great Britain. It reached number 2 in the charts and the band went on tour afterwards to present the album live. This Digipak double CD contains a recording from Amsterdam on September 29th of the same year. It is the only complete soundboard recording from 1969 and was played by AVRO-FM on the radio at the time.
