It is amazing how much can change in a decade. The lighting and camera capabilities in the 1969 Coliseum Opera House concert is dark, fuzzy, the lighting isn't 'in sinc' with the band, the camera crews aren't co-ordinated in their shooting. The 1979 Kilburn concerts, yes, I know, specifically arranged for "The Kids Are Alright", is modern day quality performed, lit, shot, edited. The music is always fantastic, no other band can come close to the way The Who structured their personnel, Pete and John's writing is broadrangeing, autobiographical and yet personally meaningful for so many. also of interest is how they have set up the discs - you only get the 'full' [well, not quite] Tommy by hunting down the Extras button. If you have (as most of us do) both the VHS and DVD of 'TKAA' and have repeatedly watched the sequences from Kilburn wondering 'Why don't they put out the whole bloody thing on disc - well, here you are.Read full review
At first I gravitated to the earlier included disk and footage from years earlier. I still love that one of course, After putting away and not playing the Kilburn disk, I one day gave it another look and listen, and after the second song I was absolutely blown away! Close up, powerful, and all four are in great form here! Keith shows and sounds every bit bit why he was Keith Moon. His drums seem to be playing the melody too! I am now convinced this is one of my favorite musical pieces of any ever by any Musical group!

Great show with excellent audio and solid picture. Sad that it’s one of the last shows with such an amazing group in their original lineup.

I saw a clip from this on YouTube and bought this! I’d rather spend the money than have interruptions, ads and pauses between songs that the individual videos would force me to endure. Buy this, and “Don’t Be Fooled Again!”

Never knew that this existed. Great concert video. A former “holy grail” for Who fans. DVD was new and still sealed.
