Summary: We've got Spinal on tap...
Review: Crazy true farce: I picked up both "The Who Live At the Isle of Wight 1970" DVD and this one at the same time, and watched them both back-to-back. Some might say it was a Who overdose, but I tend to disagree. Purists will argue that this particular charity concert shows 3/4 of the actual "Who" in grizzled, past-it form, but then they will be missing out on what amounts to a great-sounding, crisp, concert film for those who missed the band the first time around. No, Zak Starkey is no Keith Moon, but Moon never had a peer to begin with, so it's a pointless comparison--he was, however, Zak's drum teacher for many years, so if nothing else, it's a nice sense of continuity. But besides all that, he sounds great, and plays tirelessly (something Daltrey, Entwhistle, and Townsend pick up on, and it shows in their performances as well). It's mostly a collection of greatest hits, but if the DVD is missing the craziness of classic live WHO, it's got plenty of panache and style to make up for it. The second disc is negligible, but is still nice to have as bonus material. Good stuff.

Summary: The Who Rock!
Review: I think this was a great concert! The energy was astounding! I was to see them on this tour, but circumstances did not permit. This was the last time we would see Roger,Pete and John together in a concert such as this. I recommend this to all WHO fans. The energy is the way it was back in the day. John died 2 days before I went to the last Who concert so I really appreciate this concert video. It is quite awesome to say the least.

Summary: One Word: Awesome (also see incredible, fantastic, amazing)
Review: Simply put, this is the greatest performance ever. As with fine wine, The Who improve with age. ... Having bought the "Encore" series CD's of the concert I attended, I thought I had in my possesion the pinnacle of rock n' roll; this DVD leavs the Encore CD's in the dust. For it's price you get a fantastic Who concert anywhere you want it...a must have, don't even question it!

Summary: A truely special concert and a wonderful DVD
Review: For all you Who fans out there, this is a truely remarkable DVD and should be added to your collection. For anyone who appreciates fine British live music, this is also a reason to own this DVD. The music is wonderful as is the picture quality - both are great. This DVD holds a special memory for me as my daugther was one of the teenagers who appear on-stage with the band on the second disc. She tragically died a few months after this concert was filmed. If you're a Who fan, buy the DVD, if you want an extra special DVD of a great concert, also buy the DVD and enjoy it as much as I have. Please support the Teenage Cancer Trust. Thanks,
-- Steve

Review: This disc is awesome. Zak Starkey has revitalized the band and Entwistle once again proves he was/is the best bassist in rock. Pete plays with renewed fire. I love this disc.

Summary: IF YOU'RE A WHO FAN, THIS IS FOR YOU
Review: I think this was one of the better concerts recently captured on film.
From the first strum of "I Can't Explain" to the end solo in "See Me, Feel Me."
Even though these guys are in their fifty, they still know how to put on a good show.
Roger's voice seemed to stay on pitch pretty much throughout the concert.
Of course they edited "Mary Anne With The Shaky Hand," and "Getting In Tune," though Vedder sang that.
Pete Townshend's acoustic set featuring "Drowned"
was one of the highlights of the show. It clearly showed Townshend's talent as one of rock's best rhythm guitarist.
This concert also includes Guest Appearences cracking down some of the most well known Who songs.
The second disc includes special features that are less impressive
And does not make for much more of a reason to buy this.
I think the concert itself holds out, and makes this a must have for any WHO fan.

Summary: Great Entwistle bass solo!
Review: Though I purchased this long before John Entwistle passed away, I gotta tell you that one of the highlights is his bass solo about mid-way through the show. The Who still play fast and furious in concert, so much so that the addition of special guest performers almost slows down the proceedings. While not every song is a definitive version, there is quite enough here to remind you why you are a Who fan. The late, great Thunderfingers may have provided The Who with its stability, but Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey are still the main attraction. And Pete and Roger are up to the task in this performance. The version of "Magic Bus" makes the song sound fresh and new. With the exception of the Concert For New York City in Fall 2001, this may well be the last live Who concert on video. That alone should make you consider buying it.

Summary: This is what a music DVD should look like
Review: This is a great concert with fabulous sound. I saw the Who 3 months before this was filmed and this captures their then-present sound and show. As for the guest stars, don't be afraid of Bryan Adams! He actually sounds good doing Behind Blue Eyes, he has a bit of a sneer to his singing, and doesn't sound like you'd expect. The reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the omitted songs. There were 2 or 3 songs played at the concert that were edited out of the DVD. One of them was a perfect version of Getting in Tune with Eddie Vedder singing along with Roger. I've heard a bootleg recording of it and it is appalling that they would leave in Kelly Jones doing a terrible vocal on Substitute on the DVD, and cut out this great song with Ed Ved. Kelly Jones sings the song with all the annoyance of an Oasis cover version. Also the guitarist from Oasis should be ashamed of standing next to Pete Townshend and only being able to play a wimpy 2-note solo on possibly THE rock anthem of all time, Won't Get Fooled Again. He should not have been invited to the concert. I think many of the guests were used to appeal to the British audience, which is fine, but then don't cut out Getting in Tune, which sounds leaps and bounds over Substitute. Yes, we get a fine version of Ed Vedder singing on Lets See Action and I'm One, and also on the end jam, but Getting In Tune should have been in this DVD. Kelly Jones should not have. Other than those complaints, what was left in the DVD is a great performance. The editing of the video is a little to quick/MTV. But the sound is great and the Who is awesome.
