Keith Moon appeared as Uncle Ernie (in Melbourne only), Graham Bell as the Narrator, with local stars Daryl Braithwaite (as Tommy), Billy Thorpe, Doug Parkinson, Wendy Saddington, Jim Keays, Broderick Smith, Colleen Hewett, Linda George, Ross Wilson, Bobby Bright, Ian Meldrum (as Uncle Ernie in Sydney), and a full orchestra. The Los Angeles version of this show featured Phil Collins as Uncle Ernie, Patti LaBelle as the Acid Queen, Steve Winwood as the Hawker, Elton John as the Pinball Wizard, and Billy Idol as Cousin Kevin. Tommy retreats inward again ("See Me, Feel Me") with his "continuing statement of wonder at that which encompasses him".

The group introduced him to La Jolla Playhouse director Des McAnuff, and the pair began to develop the musical together. This sequence in the film depicts Elton John being backed by the Who (dressed in pound-note suits); the band portrayed the Pinball Wizard's band for filming,[121] but on the music track and soundtrack album, the music was performed entirely by him and his regular touring band. The remastering was done under the supervision of Townshend and also includes related material not on the original album, including "Dogs-Part 2" (the B-Side to "Pinball Wizard"), "Cousin Kevin Model Child" and "Young Man Blues", plus demos for the album and other unreleased songs that were dropped from the final running order. It's too bad that Townshend didn't have the wisdom to bring Tommy to the stage intact. [99] Several live recordings of Tommy from the Who's 1969–70 tours have been released. Looking for alternative work while recuperating, he responded to a request from the PACE Theatrical Group for the rights to a Broadway musical adaptation of Tommy.

[34], By March 1969, some songs had been recorded several times, yet Townshend still thought there were missing pieces. Tommy is told by the Doctor to "Go to the Mirror!

[25] The Who's US record company, Decca Records, got so impatient waiting for new product that they released the compilation album Magic Bus: The Who on Tour which received a scathing review from Greil Marcus in Rolling Stone over its poor selection of material and misleading name (as the album contained studio recordings and was not live). It opened at La Jolla in summer 1992, and was an immediate commercial success. His parents take him to a respected doctor ("There's a Doctor"), who determines that the boy's disabilities are psychosomatic rather than physical.

[23] As well as their usual instruments, Townshend played piano and organ and bassist John Entwistle doubled on french horn.

[7] That year's The Who Sell Out included a mini-opera in the last track, "Rael", which like "A Quick One..." was a suite of musical segments joined together. The movie version starred Roger Daltrey as Tommy, and featured the other members of the Who, plus a supporting cast that included Ann-Margret as Tommy's mother, Oliver Reed as "the Lover", with appearances by Elton John, Tina Turner, Eric Clapton, Arthur Brown, and Jack Nicholson. [115], In 1975 Tommy was adapted as a film, produced by expatriate Australian entrepreneur Robert Stigwood and directed by British auteur Ken Russell.

[63] In 2003, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Tommy number 96 on its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time,[64] maintaining the rating in a 2012 revised list.
