Another page from the ACME Catalog -
Before our feature presentation, ACME would like to start the evening with the Goofy Gophers (Mac and Tosh) Looney Tunes cartoon, the 1955 Friz Freleng directed, Lumber Jerks:
This is the last Friz Freleng's Goofy Gophers cartoon, the next two, Gopher Broke and Tease for Two, were directed by Robert McKimson.
On April 22, 1969, The Who performed their new work Tommy for the first time. The concert, which took place in Bolton, England was a full month before the groundbreaking double album was released. But the new album presented a challenge as to how to present it in their live show. By the time they rolled into Bolton that evening, the decision was made to present Tommy as a whole, rather than just mixing some of the songs into a regular set. The ACME Eagle Hand Soap Radio Hour wanted to show you that show but it wasn't recorded. So to commemorate the event, please join us in watching a 1989 concert in Los Angeles of the album with many special guest stars performing along with The Who. So don't shout, ACME won't fiddle about while you're watching the show.
Just seven years after wrapping up one of rock's first farewell tours, The Who returned to the stage in 1989 to perform in tribute to the 20th anniversary of their classic album.
