The weird true story behind The Who’s Pinball Wizard
Pinball Wizard is arguably the biggest track on The Who's 1969 album Tommy. However, it was very close to never being written! It was only because of one specific encounter that Pete Townshend would write the song, thus changing the narrative of Tommy forever. This video explores the strange story behind Pinball Wizard within the wider context of Tommy and rock operas in general. ❤️Join my Patreon to support me as a creator and get your name added to the end of my videos: / musicmongoose ❤️Join this channel to get access to perks and stand out in the comments: / @musicmongoose 🛍️Music Mongoose Merchandise: https://music-mongoose-shop.fourthwal... ▶️▶️▶️CHAPTERS▶️▶️▶️ 00:00 - Intro 01:13 - The Rock Opera 02:47 - The Who's First Rock Opera 04:06 - Tommy 05:56 - The Power of a Good Review -------------------------------------------- Comment 'silly sausage' in the comment section if you've found this secret message.
