Movie Reviews of The Who - The Kids Are Alright (Special Edition)
Movie Review: if you own just one Who DVD, make it THIS ONE !
Summary: 5 Stars
This 1979 Documentry is done the old fashion way, let the music and clips do the talking, there is no narrator, a lost art form by today's standard.
The film flows very nicely from song to interview back to song, ect.
I think the film is a 10, my ONLY gripe is, the film starts with "My Generation" then progresses nicely up to "Who Afre you" then for no reason, inserts "My Generation" from Monterey. I think the director just wanted to use the clip, because at the time it was unreleased and is shot very nice from D A Pinnebaker.
But its an extra song so WHO cares. It just messes with the flow of the movie, other than that, its fast paced, packed with Full length performances (there is one "medley" section though). It shows the amazing video from 1968's Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus "A Quick One" Many of the interviews are quit humerious.
Just a great documentry of the WHO era with Keith Moon.
I actauuly thought of making a second volume of material and videos from 1980-present in the same style and format called "The Kids are still alight", but maybe someone will do it for me someday.
Enjoy the Film!
Summary of The Who - The Kids Are Alright (Special Edition)
The Original Director's Cut, digitally remastered in Hi-Definition and remixed in 5.1 & DTS Restored to the original "Director's Cut" length of 109 minutes. Almost 100 minutes of never-before-seen multi-camera angle footage. Completely re-mastered in Hi-Definition and 5.1 surround from the original film elements and multi-tracks. Presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.1:85. Packed with a 32 page collectable booklet. Commentary by Director Jeff Stein. Ultimate edition also includes: Multi Camera Angles - An extremely rare feature that is almost 100 minutes and featuring as many as 6 angles including a Pete cam, a Roger cam, a Moonie cam and an Ox cam. Making of the DVD - 40 minute feature offering an in-depth look at how the film was restored. Audio Comparison - This 8 minute feature provides a direct side-by-side comparison of the before and after audio. Video Comparison - This 6 minute feature provides a direct side-by-side comparison of the before and after so people can see what they've been missing all these 24 years! The Ox - A very special audio feature allowing the user to select an isolated audio track of legendary bassist John Entwistle. The Who's London - An interactive feature offering the viewer a video tour of Who landmarks. Trivia Games - Questions to test your knowledge with a prize of a newly mixed 5.1 rendering of the album version of "Who Are You" playing a video light/slide show and a long lost recording of Ringo Starr. English Subtitles - Figuring out the lyrics the band is singing is one thing, but deciphering what they say while screaming over each other is a whole other puzzle.Half its members may be dead and its leader may be keeping a low profile, but the Who remains enormously popular. Devotees who haven't availed themselves of Jeff Stein's thrilling, self-mocking 1979 documentary about the group shouldn't wait another minute now that the film has been painstakingly--perhaps heroically--restored to its theatrical-release length from original elements. The sound is clearer than on previous video releases, images are once more crisp and color-rich, and adjustments in tape speed make the Who sound like themselves again, particularly in vintage television performances and filmed club dates from as far back as the band's sonically thrilling, early R&B period. Special features are, shall we say, extensive: 100 or so minutes of multiple-angle footage, an insightful interview with Roger Daltrey, a featurette about the film's restoration, and a mesmerizing, isolated John Entwistle audio track. --Tom Keogh
