Synopsis
A dazzling visual diary of legendary performances, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT chronicles the development of the Who from angry young mod upstarts to worldwide arena rock icons. Director Jeff Stein (who was just 21 at the time) was given unlimited access to archives of the Who, occasionally butting heads with famously strong-willed guitarist/songwriter Pete Townsend over the direction of the film. It begins with the band's famed guitar-smashing, 1967 American TV debut on The Smothers Brothers show and continues through Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and on into the 1970s as the band cements its "legend" status in the rock canon with such complex works as QUADROPHENIA. Twenty-two classic Who tunes are featured, including a special version of the title track, "My Generation," "Magic Bus," "Happy Jack," and "Long Live Rock." Manic drummer Keith Moon, who provides numerous laughs in the film, died a year before the film was released.

Customer Reviews

brilliant
I wasn't really sure what to expect when i saw this dvd but i was blown away. It is filmed is such a way that each of the bands characters come across really well. It is packed full of clips of them playing, interviews and little odd balls. This is a brilliant DVD and i would recommend it to Who fans and people who are just interested in watching a funny, intersting, quirky dvd. Really entertaining
