The Who's official website, TheWho.com, is launched.

New members receive as bonus a special 2-CD set of archival live Who recordings View From a Backstage Pass. The CD is mixed by long-time Who soundman Bob Pridden with Sean Witt.

Pete and Roger both write messages for the opening although Roger admits "I feel about as useful as a pork chop in a synagogue with all this Internet bollocks."

 

Welcome to The Who’s first online home. I feel about as useful as a pork chop in a synagogue with all this Internet bollocks. I suppose it keeps millions of people in virtual conversation, which saves them getting too burned by reality, but as you may have gathered I’m not a big fan of it. I’m always ready to be won over though and will endeavour to give it my best shot to keep it interesting.>

It’s a bit of an empty room here at the moment (not all the furniture’s arrived yet) but it’s a start, which will evolve and grow to be a useful resource for you to keep up with what The Who is up to. And it’s great to have our music and our history as a band and as individuals in one place. Even if it is virtual.>

I hope you enjoy it. But do me a favour; leave the screen turned off sometimes. Go out. Get a life.>

Be lucky,
Roger
