The Who: Tommy - Live

It's TOMMY! In concert. Live. From 1989. Billy Idol as Cousin Kevin. Phil Collins as Uncle Ernie. Patti LaBelle as the Acid Queen. Jerry Mathers as The Beaver. Check out a degraded version on YouTube, and you will want to put out the bucks to get a 'clean copy' of this concert.

This is an excellent version of Tommy. I wish they would have found someone else for the Acid Queen. Patti Labelle doesn't fit.

The best.

DVD is great, just wish it had the rest of the convert on it 😔

It don't work

Years ago, I taped this off of tv, and I've watched this concert a number of times on that worn out old VHS tape. So when I saw this, I thought I'd upgrade to dvd. My poor rating for this dvd has to do not with the performance of Tommy, which is very enjoyable, but the fact that the end of the concert isn't included on the disc.At the end of the Tommy concert, The Who came out and performed some of their other classics, including some songs from Who's Next. At the end of the main concert, Roger Daltrey says "We're just getting warmed up. We're coming back." And then the dvd ends! What happened to the encore performances? Why not include them here?Everything else about the dvd is fine, including an interesting "visual commentary" option. The picture is as good as it could have been, given the way it was taped all those years ago, and the sound is clear (which at times is a disadvantage, as the performers were not always pitch perfect, though that's always been part of The Who's charm). A few highlights: Phil Collins shines as the wicked Uncle Ernie, Billy Idol is at his egocentric best as cousin Kevin, and Patti LaBelle screeches her way through a fun take on the Acid Queen. It's just too bad that the end of the concert isn't included.

Order for gift. Was OK. Not what he wanted. Looking for "Tommy Live" with additional bonus.

Long live The Whoooooooo!

I have always loved the rock opera movie "Tommy" and have watched/listened to it countless times over the years.This live stage performance of the movie is a little more like Pete Townshend's original vision of the story as it evolved on stage with the Who in the late 60's and before Ken Russell added his embroidary to the performance. More raw, a litter harder rocking, great guest cameos (Billy Idol as Cousin Kevin and Phil Collins as Uncle Ernie in particular) and a great alternative to the original soundtrack album.

Superconcerto dell'89, reunion della band con straordinari ospiti. Strepitosa Patti LaBelle (Gipsy queen) e grandissimo Elton John su Pinball Wizard. Bravo anche Phil Collins, più attore che cantante. La band suona a livelli incredibili, con una bella sezione di fiati e Simon Phillips alla batteria, la cui performance vale da sola il prezzo del dvd (totalmente diverso da Keith Moon, ma un suono e una personalità fuori dal comune). Roger Daltrey è supergiovane e tutti i tre Who hanno energia da vendere. Questo dvd è il documento ben filmato di uno dei più grandi concerti della storia del rock. Attenzione! è in formato NTSC, per cui non gira sui lettori europei, ma solo sui computer.

Die vorangegangenen Rezensionen sind ja schon etwas älter, daher habe ich mich nicht davon abhalten lassen, die DVD zu bestellen. Ergebnis: auf meinem Panasonic DVD-Player/Recorder lässt sich die DVD problemlos abspielen. Prima Ton und Bild! Ich hatte das Konzert ursprünglich mal auf VHS aufgezeichnet und bin nun froh, dieses tolle Konzert auf DVD zu besitzen.

Leider kein kein deutscher Ländercode falsche Beschreibung

Attenzione!!!!!Il DVD non è multiregione come indicato, ma regione 1 e pertanto riproducibile solo in USA e Canada.Non viene letto dai lettori dvd e bluray italiani.Nulla da dire sul lato artistico.
