50 years. Wow.

 

I have a 1st pressing signed for me by Pete and John in the late 80's. Hard to believe that record is that old.

 

Gonna' play me some Pinball Wizard today.

"But Tommy doesn't know what day it is..." :(

 

 

Keith Moon does a great job on this one. Ditto "Sparks" :yes:

Some of my absolute favorites from Tommy

 

The whole opening sequence through Sparks

 

What a grand way to kick things off! And those backwards guitar effects in The Amazing Journey!

 

Christmas

 

My favorite "Christmas song?" Probably.

 

Cousin Kevin!!!!!

 

Deeply disturbing! :D

 

The Acid Queen

 

Another killer deep cut!

 

Underture

 

I bet you Alex adores this.

 

Fiddle About

 

Quite illustrative.

 

Pinball Wizard

 

Still exciting, after about the hundredth time....I don't know how!

 

Sally Simpson

 

Poor girl, great song.

 

I'm Free

 

How strange, I love it!

 

We're Not Gonna Take It

 

A killer closer! Dramatic!

Brilliant.

 

Fun fact:

 

The original double album was configured with sides 1 and 4 on one disc, and sides 2 and 3 on the other, to accommodate turntables.
