Rezensionen
The Who: Much Too Much by Mike Evans is a wonderful history of both the band and the music. Combined with excellent photographs this is a great addition to any fan's collection.
I know that many people like to claim they "didn't learn anything new" in books like this, mostly as a form of posturing, or, of course, that reader is the only person in the world with a perfect memory. I have no idea how much of the information here is brand new, nor do I care. I like having this much info in one place, well written and organized. Even if I have heard most of the facts before, I have forgotten many of them so having my memory refreshed is, well, refreshing.
The book progresses album by album, covering tours, personal lives, tragedies between the track lists for each. I enjoyed playing each albums I have while I was reading the chapter about it.
I was actually a little surprised at just how much detail there was. I expected, and would have been satisfied with, a simple overview of the band's career and albums along with the pictures. But this includes anecdotes, the usual stories, and some nice commentary as well. Very pleasantly surprised. If you have ever seen The Who, the pictures from the time frame(s) you saw them will bring back memories. I only saw them three times, but twice was in the 70s and those pictures really took me back.
I would highly recommend this to fans of the band as well as anyone interested in the music and youth culture of the 60s and 70s in particular.
