Synopsis
They are one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. For over four decades, they have changed modern music as we know it. But some of their most famous performances have never been released... until now. On December 15, 1977, The Who performed before a select invited audience at the Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn, North London, to record a concert for Jeff Stein's film, The Kids Are Alright, which turned out to be one of the last live performances by drummer Keith Moon. Shot in 35mm, this holy grail for fans has been digitally restored and remastered in high-definition for the ultimate The Who home theatre experience. Full tracklist includes: ‘Can’t Explain’, ‘Substitute’, ‘Baba O’Reilly (Teenage Wasteland)’, ‘My Wife / Going Mobile’, ‘Behind Blue Eyes’, ‘Dreaming from the Waist’, ‘Pinball Wizard’, ‘I’m Free’, ‘Tommy’s Holiday Camp’, ‘Summertime Blues’, ‘Shakin’ All Over’, ‘My Generation’, ‘Join Together’, ‘Who Are You’, ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’.

Customer Reviews

Rganic who

I'm talking about a time when the guitars were wired to Hiwatt or Marshall amps.
I'm talking about a time when a 2'30" song could blow your mind into unkown realms of knowledge to come.
I'm talking about a time when a singer would gaze every night across a deafened and blinded audience of up to 300 000 people and into eternity, shoot them up to the stars and help them land back dumbstruck, delicately in the morning dew.
I'm talking about my generation.
Thanks to Gramp Stamp (I would have loved to have a grandfather like Chris Stamp) and the late Kit Lambert the show at the London Coliseum was captured on film. Who cares if it's 16mm, sometimes scratched, and some numbers are not complete? Who fans don't, at least I for one would rather have the London Coliseum show as it is than any fancy split screen effects with multiple angle camera work or awesome lightshow if it doesn't serve the initial purpose of a concert i.e music.
No fertilizers, no pesticides no cheap gimmicks. Organic Who play their guts off on this DVD. The mix does justice to Entwistle's original sound and Moonie's kiss to Ivor-the-engine-driver won't be forgotten let alone his unsurpassed drumming.
The Kilburn (Kill /Burn ?) show is perfect in every respect technically; both musically and "cinematically"it is as good a document as any, still every die hard Who fan knows that the Golden Age was over after Quadrophenia in terms of playing for kicks and recognition. It's a wonderful piece of professionalism and showmanship expertise.
The kids were alright, two of them burned up their lives to let us dream; the two grown ups left are sensible enough to allow us to celebrate the entity that was known as the Who. Whoever has the power to bless its soul, let Him do it.
If you love The Who, go ahead it is no rip off.

coliseum '69 is a must!!!!
Just watch 'heaven and hell' from the 2nd disc - surely this is some of the most stunning live performances ever filmed, thanks in particular to the one and only Keith Moon. Seriously, for any rock fan reading this you must buy this dvd! (then re-evaluate why current bands can't match this stuff for intensity). With Rog doing his mic lead twirl, pete with his windmills and john on bass it really does make all the bands of today seem like clueless tubes, compared to the mighty 'OO at their peak!!!

Another one for the collection
I've always considered the version of Won't Get Fooled Again on The Kids Are Alright as the most exciting and definitive version, and now we can see the whole concert where it was recorded. It's a good show, not one of their best, but pretty good. Sure Roger forgets his words and Pete has a rant at the audience, but that just underlines the fact that these are four west-London lads doing their stuff. Looking back, considering this was Moonie's last but one performance, it is quite poignant and almost prophetic when he says between tracks that he is going to the dressing room to overdose.

The other concert, at the Coliseum, is pure late 60's Who at their finest. The quality of the film isn't great, but it's almost forty years old - what do you expect? However, this doesn't diminish the power of the performance. Oh, how I wish I'd been there....
