LOST WHO FOOTAGE UNEARTHED FOR NEW DVD

Lost footage of THE WHO has been unearthed for a new film about the British rockers.

ROGER DALTREY and PETE TOWNSHEND of The Who

Never-before-seen concert and archival footage will feature on new DVD package Amazing Journey: The Story of the Who.

Band founders Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend are among the brains behind the project, and the duo also contributed material from their personal archives.

The film also features footage shot by fans after original director Murray Lerner went online to ask devotees to submit old home video footage of the group.

Among the lost footage is performances of The Who when they were known as the High Numbers in the mid-1960s. Executive producer Nigel Sinclair tells Billboard.com, "The film was lost for the ages, but three years ago, an old gentleman in Amsterdam was cleaning out his loft.

"His grandson knew this was what the Who used to call themselves, and they put it on and realised what it was.

"We had 834 separate items we had to clear in the past few months. Our post-production specialist is now writing a PhD paper for NYU based on this project. It was unprecedented. It is really difficult to take these different formats and make them work."

The Who film also features interviews with celebrity fans like Sting, Eddie Vedder and Noel Gallagher.
