Music reviews of The Who's Tommy: Original Cast Recording (1992 Broadway Revival)
Music Review: Excellent first CD, okay second CD
Rating: 4 Stars
I have been the proud owner of this dual CD since 1994, when my first car had only a tape deck and I had to use one of those goofy converters with my diskman to listen to CDs. I think I wore the poor thing out. I also own the original rock opera written and performed by The Who, but it doesn't get the playtime that the Cast Album does. Why not? Because the women in this recording are phenomenal! I love speeding down the road screaming/singing "Acid Queen".
I will have to be honest though... as a play, Tommy is a bit lacking. You have to admit that the plot is a bit strange and often the character's actions leave the viewer scratching their head. I watched the touring cast in the late 90's and still have my piece of the mirror that fell from the ceiling.
In all honesty though, the reason to buy this CD is entirely for the first disk. The first disk is brilliant, engaging, and won't leave your head for days. The second CD was always just "eh" in my mind. Granted "Smash the Mirror" was brilliant, but I tend not to put in a CD for a single song, so the second CD has only been played a handful of times. The first CD is worn beyond recognition.
This cast recording is not for everyone though, I have some friends who are musical theater purists, they turn up their nose at this recording almost as if it were blasphemy (electric guitars in the theater!) I also have several friends who are classic rock purists, they snarl at the site of the CD and declare that it should never have been made that I should burn it and replace it with my copy of The Who doing the songs. Sorry to both of you, but I love it and will continue listening to the first CD off of this album until it finally dies on me.
