Friends Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo cross Italy from north to south for Giacomo's wedding: the father of the bride, a despotic magnate who is both their boss and father-in-law—since Aldo and Giovanni have also married into the family not for love but for money, a fate now awaiting Giacomo—has entrusted them with a priceless piece of modern art, one that looks just like a rather unremarkable wooden leg.

Roger Daltrey, star frontman for the benchmark rock band the Who, presents the amazing music of the Who's guitarist and songwriter Pete Townshend — in a star-studded, full-blown orchestral concert at New York's fabled Carnegie Hall. Supported by the awesome power of the Juilliard Orchestra, along with featured rock drums and guitars, Daltrey gives a soaring performance on a huge scale. And the songs more than stand up — "You Better You Bet," "I Can See For Miles," "Baba O'Reilly," "Behind Blue Eyes," "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again," and many more of these timeless creations take on the full dramatic qualities that have always been part and parcel of Townshend's musical and poetic genius.
