1969: This is the day that The Who first performs their rock opera Tommy live in concert in Dalton, England.
Five years later to the day (1974), they begin filming the movie version, directed by Ken Russell.
Twenty-four years later (1993), the Broadway version opens.
1966: A London newspaper The Evening Standard publishes an interview with John Lennon in which he infamously says about the Beatles: “We're more popular than Jesus.”
The remark goes unnoticed until it is reprinted in the American teen magazine Datebook four months later. Massive anti-Beatle protests would break out, mainly across the Bible Belt, including bonfires of Beatles records.
Lennon later apologizes and the Beatles survive the controversy.
