The Who & Special Guests - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [DVD] [2000]

First let me say that I am undoubtedly a Who fan - ~25 concerts over the last 30 years, 6 of them in the 12 months preceding this show (which unfortunately I did not attend). I am also fortunate to have a fairly good DTS, surround-sound system. This said, this DVD is stunning on all levels - a superb performance by the band, exceptional camera work, outstanding picture quality, a sound experience that about as close to being there as you are going to get and finally, a great list of special features in Disc 2, including a 7-angle version of Pinball Wizard.It's hard to pick out highlights. The band's ability to get 'into it' within the opening bars of the opening song has always been impressive and no more so than in this show. All the classics are 'classic'. Bargain and Relay are particularly strong. Nigel Kennedy is the first guest on a superb Baba O'Riley. Pete's solo efforts on Drowned and Heart To Hang On To are exhilarating. The whole of 5.15 is 'nuts', but John's bass solo is just breathtaking. The guests, in my opinion, add variety to the show and perform very well and with obvious delight about being part of the experience.For Who fans, this DVD is an obvious must - an impeccable capture of 'recent Who' (which is 'great Who' in my view). For DVD fans, it's a treat for your viewing/listening room. But for anyone who appreciates the rock/popular music of the last 3 decades or so, here is a chance to see what the 'Who thing' has been about.Buy it.

if you're thinking of getting this DVD, don't think too long or you'll be at the back of the queue. A superb show, special guests and performances to die for. Zac Starkey drumming like he was possessed by the spirit of Keith Moon, a mindblowing Ox bass solo, proving that the man is sorely missed, Townshend, all manic energy, but holding everything together, and the great Rog, maturity adding extra textures to well remembered classics. The guests, Noel Gallagher, Bryan Adams, Eddie Vedder, Kelley Jones, Nigel Kennedy and the Modfather himself, Mr P. Weller, playing with who is undoubtally the GodModfather! A brilliant triumph for a band that we'll never see again in it's entirety. Buy it, play it loud and show the kids that we're alright!!!

The first time I heard this bands music was way back when as a young teenager when a TV program call Ready Steady Go went out on Friday nights. The program started with the song My Generation which certainly got me in the mood for the rest of that program. I have just listen to this DVD and I have to say like the song title, Bargain, the best Iv'e ever had.

I like this artist
