SEE THEM, FEEL THEM
It’s never too late to get out the air guitar and pound out the power chords from Tommy’s triumphant “Listening to You” coda. You’ll be tempted to do so during Murray Lerner’s classic documentary LISTENING TO YOU: THE WHO AT THE ISLE OF WIGHT (1970), and you’ll be joining the 600,000 fans who swarmed the British island off Southampton and Portsmouth at 2 am for what some claim was the greatest rock concert of all time. It screens at the Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Ave, Boston | 6 pm | 617.267.9300 or www.mfa.org.

 Best Art Museum
At the classic and colossal Museum of Fine Arts, it’s about so much more than the art. Sure, there’s tons of that — from special exhibits by David Hockney, Degas, and Picasso, to rock posters, to the MFA's renowned permanent collection. But it’s the film series, the concerts, and the special events that launch the MFA above |
