    		Elton John

    The Who's first ever live performance of the entire Tommy song cycle was at a press preview at Ronnie Scott's Club in London on May 2, 1969, the same month that the original double album was released. The final performance, until their 25th Anniversary reunion tour in 1989, was at London's Roundhouse on December 20, 1970, when they dedicated it to the support act, an upcoming singer/songwriter/piano player named Elton John.
