Movie Reviews of The Who: 30 Years Of Maximum R&B Live
Movie Review: Welcome release, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
Be forwarned that the three 1970 Tanglewood songs from the original release, possibly the best footage on the whole thing, have been omitted from this new version. And the footage of Keith Moon passed out at the 1973 Cow Palace show has been removed. Also, two of the three "new" songs on the first disc were already on the recently released Kilburn DVD set. For many, however, the Rockpalast disc alone will be worth the price.
Two stars for the first disc, four for the second.

Movie Review: Probably stick with the original
Summary: 3 Stars
Im a who freak,a wholigan if you will,i have to buy everything,and have done for the last 25 years,and again,with who releases of late,this is a missed oppertunity.
I loved the original release of both the vhs/dvd version of this,and always found it a great companion piece to "the kids are alright" many will argue that there is too much kenney jones on this dvd,but this is not the problem here,after all,you cant pretend the who finished when keith died,cos they didnt,if you believe that, stick with the kids are alright,and stop whinning.
No,the problem here is the severe butchery of the previous release,and the claim that its remastered,well if it is,i must be changing into stevie wonder,cos i cant see it,and the claim that its in 5.1,some of it is,some of it is not,in fact,the best sound on the dvd,are the menus,which are studio tracks anyways,that aint and never have been on the dvd.
On the plus side,you can skip to charlton(which most fans have a unofficial version of anyway)a live version of WGFA from 1982(why not put a pro shot of pontaic on there instead?)a new entwistle(albeit brief)unseen interview from around 94,im guessing.Also,the packaging is very very nice,informative booklet(like the video version,but with better pictures,and more depth)and a nice slipcase box to house the fold out dvd.
As you may know,the tanglewood 1970 bits are missing(most true collectors have this)and thats a darn shame.
Well,the final decision is up to you,but if you are a casual collector,id say hunt down the original release,if you are a hardcore collector,chances are you have most of the stuff anyway,and keep your original.
Its getting to the point when i may just stop buying these new releases from this once amazing band.
but i probably wont.
but i might.
Yeah,lets talk about getting fooled again.
Movie Review: Too much to take in
Summary: 3 Stars
Good effort but too much filler and weak songs. For diehards only. Better to get your favorite albums and remember how you felt when you first heard them, reading lyrics and studying the album covers.
