Movie Reviews of The Who - Tommy and Quadrophenia Live
Movie Review: Most enjoyable - flawless DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
I was reluctant to order this set in view of the disparity in reviews, performances, but most of all of the erratic quality of the DVDs themselves. It's hard to believe that the voices of the performers would have been as strong as when this material was first produced with the original (at the time) members of The Who, as well as the guest performers. Although a little rough at the time of this recording, all the artists were thoroughly enjoyable. My family, friends and I - ranging in ages from 16 to 75 - were pretty much spellbound by TOMMY, watching the entire piece after Thanksgiving dinner. A word of warning - true to form, Billy Idol does stray from the script, with his incessant invocation of the "f" word, so if you have smaller kids in the room, or anyone offended by the language, I would suggest fast-forwarding through Idol's song. This alone affected my less than 5 star rating.
Oh, and my DVDs were perfect. Lyrics in synch with the music, and decent sound after switching to Dolby 5.1.
Summary of The Who - Tommy and Quadrophenia Live
Rhino Records is proud to present a 3-DVD boxed set showcasing one of the greatest live bands ever-The Who. Disc one features a live rendition of their full-blown rock opera about a deaf, dumb, and blind boy. Tommy was performed live in 1989 at The Universal Amphitheatre in Los Angeles, with special guests Elton John, Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Patti LaBelle, and Steve Winwood. Disc two contains the band's second rock opus, this time built around the story of a young mod's struggle to come of age in the mid-60s. This live version of Quadrophenia, from the 1996/1997 U.S. Tour was the first time it was performed as Townshend and Daltrey had visualized it, with live action and featuring a then-unknown Alex Langdon in a spellbinding performance as Jimmy, the disillusioned Mod.Music Video & Concerts DVD Video
