Summary: Interesting for the nostalgics...
Review: I enjoyed the ouverture which is leveraging the orchestra power with the classic midley of Quadrophenia. I would rate the picture quality as well as the sound between 3.5 and 4.0.It was great to see and hear Entwistle on The Real Me -- he haven't lost anything of its dexterity on a bass guitar. Pete Townshend is featured on Who Are You and I wish Entwistle would have also be part of that play which is one of the album best song... A good DVD to add to your collection...

Summary: This is the man
Review: I've given the CD a poor review, but the DVD is just the opposite. The filmed production was a concert I wish I'd attended, and I haven't had the DVD technical glitches experienced by others. I do think the concert might have been videotaped rather than filmed, and that would account for the less crisp visuals. When it comes to the star, that physical presence of Daltrey wins me over where the CD performance does not. Not only is his voice in high gear, though occasionally drowned out by the orchestra, Daltrey is very energized. The guest stars are more in the background than they are on the CD (one reason the CD is so annoying). Moreover, Daltrey starts off very formal as he first takes the stage, but slowly more of the famed body is revealed until by the climax of Won't Be Fooled Again you believe it's the Daltrey of old. Here's a man who was definitely forced to give up his #1 career - by Townshend's 80s WHO retirement - far in advance of his interest or his abilities. Nice affectionate moments with Daltrey and Entwistle and then Daltrey and Townshend (whose own appearance had initially been reluctant; presumably Daltrey had threatened him, but you can't tell that here). If you're a fan of the WHO, you should have this DVD. If you're a fan of Daltrey specifically, you must have this DVD in your collection. And you can envy all those people who had great seats, especially those in the front row.

Summary: Rock meets Classical Music
Review: It is a tribute to Pete Townsend to hear and see how his masterful music can be ochestrated by the Juliard Orchestra. Roger's band and guests are potent in this fabulous soundtrack.

Summary: Classic rock that loses nothing in orchastration
Review: Roger Daltrey's fiftieth birthday party is a must see (repeatedly). Roger has lost nothing in the years since The Who has played together. The Juilet Orchestra adds emotion and proves the vurtuosity of Peter Townshend's musical writing.

Summary: Won't get fooled again
Review: The concert was clearly excellent, with Daltrey enjoying himself, but this DVD is a very poor record of it. The sound is simply the worst that I have ever heard on a sell through DVD. It sounded so bad that at first I thought my DVD player was faulty, but it sounded equally terrible in two other machines. At times the soundtrack is plainly out of sync with the visuals. Given the long string of technical credits at the end it is all the more surprising that something this bad got pressed up and sold. Worth having as a curiosity to sit alongside the bootlegs, but only if the price is as low as the quality.

Summary: Roger Daltry - A celebration
Review: The content is great the sound quality is very poor and camera work is not much better, This soundtrack needs post production work. The program editing left a lot to be desired. I have been listening to the Who for the last 30 years and this DVD has let them down badly. I am sure that Roger and the other artists can't be happy with end result. Help!

Summary: This DVD is for the deaf, dumb and blind kid!
Review: This DVD is cool to watch as for the video portion of preparation but the sound quality bites the big one. I have heard some awful recordings but this DVD brings back memories of old VHS tapes losing the HIFI tracking during playback. I will keep it for watching in times of pure boredom or in need of a Who fix but will never play it for entertainment at party's - don't the people who produce these things have DVD players to watch them before releasing them.

Summary: Spirit 4 stars, video and audio quality 1 star
Review: This is incredibly bad in terms of video and audio quality. In stark contrast try out John Fogerty's Premonition, Fleetwood Mac Dance, Eagle's Hell Freezes Over, Either Bee Gees CD. We as customers need to send a strong message to both those that produce quality products (some examples listed above) and those that are like the General Motor's of the world.

Summary: Performance 5...Presentation 1
Review: This is like a bad dream...on the shelf is a DVD of a concert only a lucky few got to attend..classic music of my generation ..and treated with very cool approaches which allmost all succeed..NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS..Platinum has rushed it into the marketplace without viewing the darned thing..there are MANY digital artifacts (I don't know the technical terms for glitches in the picture) which are distracting. I must add that it plays differently on my two DVD players..maybe one is able to read it better? BOTTOM LINE...I still watch it more than most of my 100+ discs..so why can't they take the time to make them right?
