Who - The Kids Are Alright DVD

 STRAP YOURSELF IN!!!
The Who have never been billed as a "Punk" band, but were one of the true pioneers of the punk genre. "The Kids Are Alright" exposes The Who as the virile, brutish youths they were. It's a great look into rock history and a sobering view of the effects of fame on young rockers.

 You have got to see this .
The Kids Are Alright DVD was very well put together. Up close and personal with Keith, Roger, Pete and John. Along with some excellent early concert footage. The producer put together some real good choice of tunes. After reading the book that was included I understood why they could not put some of the tunes I would have choosen to be in this video . I will look forward to watching this for years . Have a great time jamming with The Who.

 thanks for the restoration
I don't know why but dvds have different appearances on different TVs. On someone elses this looked like a videotape but on mine it looked great! It took a year for them to spruce this one up frame by frame (the sound also) and it made me feel I was in the theater again. They even enlarged "A Quick One" to fill the screen because it only fit a small part of the screen at the theaters which was a little annoying. The extras are pretty good to. You can hear the bass guitar only part by John Entwistle (now deceased)while he plays live the songs "Baba O' Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again","Won't Get Fooled Again" being the most impressive one. The bass playing is really great and stands on its own. You can hear what you've been missing since bass playing is usually buried under everything else. Elsewhere there are quizes interviews and the making of sequences but only on the "special edition". I've heard of others get into the Who after seeing this movie just like me which is why I recommend it. Any thing that makes me feel like I'm in the same theater 25 years ago on a small screen must have been restored properly. The videotape also cut some out of the "A Quick One"performance but is included here in it's entirety.

 Brilliant Amazing Stimulating Fantastic
Just to have this wonderful documentary/concert film on DVD is a treat. A must for anyone who loves rock music. If you're a fan of The Who and you DON'T have this, click on "Add To Cart" ASAP. The highlights are so many I can hardly begin to list them. Just get this in your collection. If you regret this purchase, sell all your CDs.

 The Kids Are Better Than Alright!
A must for any Who fan or indeed anyone who is sick of seeing and hearing the manufactured pop acts that are everywhere at the moment. Sound and picture quality is second to none on Disc 1 which is the feature length 'rockumentary' and gives a great insight to the development of the band. Disc 2 has some great special features including isolated feeds of the Ox's bass on Won't Get Fooled Again and Baba O'Reilly - what a musical genius. Great to use the multiple camera angles to focus in on Moonie in full flight as well. Feed this through your Hi-Fi and make use of the 5.1 sound if you have it - if not it rocks just as hard in stereo. A top DVD worth every penny (or cent)
