Description:

There are fans of the Who, and then there are completist-collector-fans of the Who; the latter are likely to prize this fun glimpse of the band in action on late-1960s German television. One of several DVD-EP titles from Classic Pictures (the "EP" is borrowed from the music industry's old "extended player" designation for recordings featuring four tracks), The Who: Special Edition EP includes black-and-white, heavily solarized television footage of Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, Keith Moon, and John Entwistle gamely lip- synching their way through "I'm a Boy," "See Me, Feel Me," "Pinball Wizard," and "I'm Free." There's little more: a bit of pop-up information ("The band achieved international fame with Tommy"), and maybe a dozen abridged clips (teaser plugs, really) from other DVD-EPs for Leon Russell, Jack Bruce, Motorhead, and others. The latter performances are fun, but it's annoying to see them cut off after a minute or less. --Tom Keogh
