Customer ReviewsNot the Whos best Rating Point :3 Helpful Point :0 The concert on the first disc is ok. Especially since they didnt rehearse first. The second disc is absolutely horrible. I understand the show taping was over 40 years ago, but the quality of it is horrible. I do recommend this DVD for the die hard Who fan, but for anyone else its a waste.
This...IS THE WHO Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :1 Watched this the other night and had an ear to ear smile the whole time. I am biased of course, Ive been a huge fan for 30 odd years. Many of the die hards are nit-picking about sound and sloppiness etc. What a load of nonsense.
I watched this on my Sony 55"... up very close , Harmon Kardon 5.1 etc. blah blah....and I felt like I was there... watching the greatest live band of all time. It was brilliant!
No...its not perfect but its the last time they ever played with Moony and that alone... is worth the price of admission. However what you have here is The Who in all theyre glory playing a Greatest Hits package of songs in full maniacle mode.
Daltry, the serious, businesslike frontman belting out the numbers, the last we would see of his full Tommy mane forever.
Townshend, windmilling, scissor kicking, duckwalking, goofballing and often being a complete jerk.
Entwhistle playing his thundering bass like no-one before or after. Looking somewhat bored as always, occasionally smiling , killer outfit, again as usual.
And Moon, in full loon mode, so full of energy and life despite the fact that he was slowly killing himself.
Even if your not a fan, I guarantee that you will know all the songs even if you thought not beforehand. The sound and video are top shelf and the performance is incredible.

Outstanding Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0 This DVD is exactly what we need more of. The Who from the "classic" era. So much video material has been released from the recent Who tours (99 Vegas, 00 Albert Hall, 02 Boston, 06-07 Encore Series), a performance from the archives is more than welcome. This concert may be a bit less polished than the 1970 "Isle of Wight" DVD (which has been available for several years now), but nevertheless it is The Who as nature intended. I was born too late to experience this energy first-hand, and while I did see The Who in 2006, nothing compares to the energy and power that the original Who delivered. We will never see that again. If you were there, buy this for the memories. If you werent, buy this for a glimpse of what you missed.
PS - I know there is more in the vaults. Will someone PLEASE get that stuff out? This is The Who in their prime.
The Who at Kilburn 1977 (and London 1969) "Deluxe 2 - Disc DVD Set Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0 THIS IS THE WHO AT THEIR BEST AND UP-CLOSE AND PERSONAL!!! PLUS, YOU GET A BONUS PERFORMANCE OF "TOMMY" THEIR FAMOUS ROCK OPERA. You get the legendary line-up of Roger Daltry, Pete Townsend, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon. These 2 concerts show the Who in a somewhat informal setting, they talk to each other on stage, and you get a very close-up view.
This double disc dvd contains over 20 of their biggest hits, and over 3 hours of great music. Im not really a "WHO" fan, but I have always enjoyed their music. I bought this to see what all the "fuss" was about, and I really, really liked it. This is an excellent 2 disc, 2 concert dvd, with a bonus performance of "Tommy", their famous Rock Opera.
This is some great "stuff", so I highly recommend it!!!
Great Who footage Rating Point :5 Helpful Point :0 If you like the Who dont pass this up....raw and powerful, especially pay attention to Keith Moon
