Movie Reviews of The Who At Kilburn: 1977
Movie Review: Hey kids, it's the original Who
Summary: 5 Stars
There is nothing greater than being a life long Who fan. Why? It's because you know in your heart that you're right, they really were the best band to ever walk the planet.
So now we finally get legitimate DVD releases of the original band...some of which actually goes back to the 1969 glory days. What do people do then? Complain of course. Why? It's just what the collectors do best.
I would suggest WAITING until the thing is released before complaining about what they didn't get right? After all, anything involving The Who will NEVER ever be 100% good enough......for the collectors.
Fans though will be overjoyed. I know I will be.
Movie Review: An incredible "off" night...
Summary: 5 Stars
So, this was an off night? A sloppy, vicious and completely chaotic Who, late in the game and vital as always. Not for the faint of heart, or for casual Who enthusiasts (is there such a thing as a 'casual' Who fan?!) I love it and I think Keith is way sharper than the footage from Shepparton ultimately used in The Kids are Alright. The 2nd disc is wonderful as well, from 1969, but could not be issued as a stand alone title as it is technically flawed. Who cares! A magnificent 'bonus!' I agree with the reviewers that Tommy should have run as a continuous program, but that's record company logic for you. Buy and behold the Who's twin peaks.Movie Review: Value For Money, Lovingly restored & Produced DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The Who have produced some brilliant DVDs over the past decade. They always include a lot of extras and the booklets are very informative and fun to read.
This DVD is as good as it gets as well. The performances are amazing and the sound and picture quality on the 1st DVD Kilburn 1977 is exceptional.
The 2nd DVD in the set is grainy but it's also a vital DVD to see and have for it's musical quality. The sound is a bit rough but it doesn't interfere with the enjoyment.
I have brought all the Who DVDs and this is at the standard I have become used to.
Well done guys!
Movie Review: Can't wait!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the PBS broadcast and I do agree that it was an awkward performance in some parts of the set, but the band hadn't played in quiet some time so it seems that they're low on stamina. Still, a good performance especially from Roger and John (who is really OUTSTANDING). The extra Coliseum concert footage from December 1970 is what interests me. Hopefully, they sharpened it up a bit as some of the footage I've seen is pretty dark and grainy. The band is explosive and Keith Moon is playing with the power that made him legendary. His performance on Happy Jack is MINDBLOWING! Can't wait!Movie Review: far superior to Shepperton
Summary: 5 Stars
Having just watched this, it's amazing to me that the Shepperton footage was included in "The Kids are Alright." Moon, while perhaps not at his peak, is clearly having fun and is quite energetic in this performance--a far cry from the Shepperton gig, where he seems tired and only a shadow of his former self. Anyone who's a Who fan should get this, if only to erase the sad image of Moonie as "past it" that that Shepperton footage inscribed on our collective consciousness. Nine months before his death, Keith could still do it. A fitting tribute.
