Movie Reviews of The Who - Live in Boston
Movie Review: The Show Must Go On
Summary: 5 Stars
As Roger explains during his interview on this DVD, John Entwistle died only days before this tour kicked off. Although this show in Boston was much later in the tour, it is very difficult to believe that he, Pete, and the rest of the band were able to pull it together so well. I was a little hesitant to buy this at first knowing that John would be absent, but after reading the (for the most part) great reviews, I did so. I am certainly glad I did. The many pros outweight the few cons by a large margin:
PROS
-Fantastic sound quality, especially in 5.1 Surround
-Great camera work, with just enough movement from one member to the other without going overboard
-Enjoyable interviews with Roger and Pete, although Pete really seems to take himself very, very seriously sometimes.
-The set list. Somewhat the same as Royal Albert Hall, but with some wonderful new additions (Love Reign O'er Me, Tricky Day, Sea and Sand--yes, I said Sea and Sand!!, Amazing Journey>Sparks).
CONS
-Intermittent "swishing" sound - it took me two watchings before I realized that it was coming from Roger's microphone when he swings it around. I had never heard that on other videos.
-Roger definitely seems a little down. Not that one could blame him, but it's still strange to not see him smiling all the time and interacting with the audience.
With that out of the way, I need to emphasize one more thing--the Amazing Journey>Sparks part of this concert could very well be the most explosive, exciting, and emotional performance I have ever witnessed out of Pete. Although I have only been fortunate to see The Who in concert once, I am the proud owner of every video that I believe they have released (Kids are Alright, Live in America, Tommy Reunion Tour in '89, Isle of Wight, Royal Albert Hall). Although he is (somewhat surprisingly) very active and enthusiastic during the whole show, Pete is simply out of his head great during these two songs, including what certainly appears to be a completely unplanned but genuine point where he stops playing and just gets into it with the crowd during the climax of Sparks. Absolutely beautiful. You need to get this DVD just for that performance alone.
