In an early announcement to retailers, Universal Music is preparing 'The Who - Quadrophenia: Live in London' and 'The Who - Quadrophenia: Live in London (Deluxe Edition)' for Blu-ray on June 10.

In 2012/2013, The Who embarked on the Quadrophenia and More Tour, performing their landmark rock opera in its entirety, marking the 40th anniversary of the original 1973 release of this double-album masterpiece.

Filmed on July 8, 2013, 'Quadrophenia: Live in London' Blu-ray features The Who in peak form, performing Quadrophenia from front to back, in its entirety, plus a special set of some of their all-time greatest hits. The film captures the band's dynamic performance in front of their hometown crowd and features blistering performances of 'The Real Me', 'The Punk And The Godfather', 'Doctor Jimmy' and a powerful performance of 'Love Reign O'er Me'. With HD screen backdrops, archival footage and today's advanced technology in sound, 'Quadrophenia: Live in London' reunites The Who with bandmates John Entwistle, for '5:15', and Keith Moon for his signature song 'Bell Boy'.
