Tommy (1975), com Roger Daltrey, Elton John, Oliver Reed, Ann-Margaret (ah, a cena do chocolate....), Eric Clapton, Jack Nicholson, além de muito outros.
A Ópera Rock vinha a reboque de Hair e Woodstock. Os grandes shows se tornavam mega-shows e o rock procurava caminhos próprios, órfão que estava dos Beatles.
Duas são as principais músicas do filme: "See me, feel me - Listening to you", que mostra a origem dos problemas de Tommy (Roger Daltrey), que se torna cego, surdo e mudo.
See Me, Feel me - Listening to you (The Who)
See Me
Feel Me
Touch Me
Heal Me
See Me
Feel Me
Touch Me
Heal Me
Listening to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behing you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get opinion
From you, I get the story
Listning to you, I get the music
Gazing at you, I get the heat
Following you, I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet
Right behing you, I see the millions
On you, I see the glory
From you, I get oponion
From you, I get the story
A segunda música é "Pinball Wizard", que descreve o desespero do campeão de "pinball" Local Lad (Elton John) quando perde o desafio para o cego, surdo e mudo Tommy.

Pinball Wizard (The Who)
Ever since I was a young boy
I've played the silver ball
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He stands like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean
He plays by intuition
The digit counters fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There's got to be a twist
A pinball wizard
He's got such a supple wrist
How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)
What makes him so good?
He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell
Always gets a replay
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
He can't beat me now
I've always beeing a champ
I know every trick
No freak´s gone beat my hand
I was the king of table
He can beat my best
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
