Written at the request of Pete Townshend and endorsed by the rest of the band, this in-depth history of The Who took author Dave Marsh three years to research and write. Complete with photographs, it covers the group s origins and meteoric rise to fame, reveals inside information on the personalities and lives of the band members, and documents the relationships, drugs, destruction, money, and mayhem behind the music.

Reviews for Before I Get Old

'Dave Marsh's Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who, remains the best Who book for its blend of reportage, musical analysis and cultural perspective, and stands as the most controversial.' - Greg Kot, Rolling Stone 'Dave Marsh's exhaustive and enjoyable study of The Who's life and times...tells you all you need to know about what drove The Who, a group who spent their entire career on the cusp of things, straddling R&B and Mod, Mod and heavy rock, heavy rock and punk, and rarely fitting comfortably... Marsh has written a reverent, intelligent and keenly readable account.' - Mojo 'Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who is certainly the most exhaustive and informed book ever written on the group.' - Mick Brown, The Guardian
