Plot summary
The group's history is told in four parts, each named after a line from one of its songs. The first covers the members' thoughts about World War II and England, the Mod movement, how the four came together, the influence of Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp, and the first hit single and debut album. The second deals with the struggle for success, the Monterey Pop Festival, psychedelic drugs and their effect on Pete Townshend's writing, Meher Baba's influence on him, and the release of Tommy. The third follows the move into the 1970s, including Lifehouse, abandoned before its songs became Who's Next, and Quadrophenia. A second disc holds individual portraits of the players, more performance footage, and 1964 film of the band as the High Numbers at the Railway Hotel.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Amazing Journey: The Story of The Who (2007)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The two-DVD set of Amazing Journey includes never-before-seen footage of a Copenhagen show where Roger Daltrey left the stage as the other Who members collapsed into amphetamine-fueled chaotic noise; the backstage fight with Keith Moon that followed got Daltrey temporarily kicked out of the band.
- The nearly eight minutes of 1964 footage of the band as the High Numbers at the Railway Hotel are all that remain of an abandoned film Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp planned about an up-and-coming rock band; the surviving reels were in Roger Daltrey's possession.
