DVD Reviews of The Who At Kilburn: 1977
DVD Review: Kilburn is best Who bar none
Summary: 5 Stars
I have lots of Who videos that I enjoy, but this is the best. They could not have played better than they did in Kilburn. Everything was really right on. Daltrey's voice, Moon's antics and drumming, Townshend's guitar work and gymnastic, and the underrated late, great bassist, John Enwistle. The man played the bass like a lead!
Excellent!
DVD Review: Fun show to watch
Summary: 4 Stars
Don't expect to see a wild or drumming phenomona in Keith Moon, but Pete is very ignited for this show. Looks like, besides Moon, they all have the same outfits on as they wore for Shepperton shows that was on The Kids Are Alright film (Baba and Wont Get Fooled) Roger forgot words on Dreamin From The Waist which was funny. Definately Pete is the show. Shame to see Keith so fat and slow. Johnny E is definately at his prime here. Masterful at his craft on bass.
The 69 show on disc 2 is okay. I guess I have gotten bored with seeing the same songs. I would rather they release the complete Woodstock performance.
DVD Review: you better,you BET!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a must have disk for any Who fan. I was thirteen at the time,and it's a front row seat!Although the Kilburn show is a bit shorter than I would have liked, The quality is terrific,with the priceless bonuses of Keith's last recorded show, and the very early(second?) performance of Tommy,well before the movie, on the other disk. Mike-Lowell, MADVD Review: They Were Right
Summary: 5 Stars
Love The Who's music, I have the LPs. I always heard that you had to see the band with Keith Moon.
They were right, this DVD is killer. I watch it over & over. Well worth buying, you won't be disappointed
DVD Review: Not for the casual/new fan of The Who
Summary: 3 Stars
I'd highly recommend watching the 2nd disc first. The '69 footage, while really visually bad, shows the band approaching their zenith as a live act. The whole band is having fun and breaking ground performance-wise.
The Kilburn (disc 1) show is interesting for historians/completists -- Pete seems put off about the show right from the start, attacking a roadie on the 2nd or 3rd song and glaring at his band-mates. It ends up good enough, but in my opinion, Pete was in full "I'm carrying the band" (real or imagined) mode and tired of doing the same damn songs for the last umpteen years, while the "big-mouthed little gits" (aka punk rockers) were challenging his/their throne.
For those who are complaining about the bass -- adjust your subwoofer -- this was not recorded (30-odd yrs ago) for your 5.1 action-hero-smash-car-movie mode system. Also remember that Pete and John actively conspired with their respective amp builders to out-do each other, culminating in the "loudest concert ever". In a band with lead guitar, lead bass, lead drums, and lead vocals, there's bound to be an impossible balance day to day, and perhaps the dominant bass was true to form for that show.
