Due November 20th, 2013 - It’s easy to forget, as their singles have become staples on classic-rock radio – but it was one album, Tommy, that really made The Who. It was their signature artistic achievement, and it gained them worldwide attention, hugely expanding their audience – for good.  There’s never been another rock opera, or rock idea, as audacious or as successful as Tommy.

Universal is giving Tommy the super-deluxe treatment this November 11th, curated by the windmill-wizard himself, Pete Townshend. The new box set contains 4 discs of music, with rare demos and outtakes from Pete’s personal archives, complete 1969 tour recordings, 5.1 surround mixes, a massive hardbound book, and a few other surprises for hardcore fans.

Tongal and Universal are celebrating this occasion by inviting you to make a music video for one of Tommy’s greatest songs: “I’m Free.”

You know the song.  You know how it looks back to their roots from the summit of their greatest achievement.  You know Tommy.  You know how important and flat out ass-kicking this tune is.  And it’s wide open.  You're free too, and they can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with.
