The Who Album: “Live: Featuring Rock Opera Tommy [Video]”

My favourite "Who" Video. This is an excellent performance by The Who. Accompanied by a band large enough to play the rock opera TOMMY. Of course we all miss Moon... Phillips is a powerhouse of a drummer, he is very precise. It carries all the energy of the live Who. A FANTASTIC, QUALITY RECORDING... PLEASE BRING THIS OUT ON DVD. I'LL BUY IT... I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE DVD FORMAT. MY TAPE IS SUFFERING DROPOUTS NOW DUE TO THE FREQUENCY OF USE.

Saw The WHO at the Hollywood Bowl a few weeks ago and they were awesome. I am old timer with this band and like most tend to gravitate towards the old classic stuff. With that said, you are doing yourself a great disservice if you don't purchase this video and play it LOUD!!! Sure, it's not The WHO of Woodstock, Leeds or the GBOWR (what was it? 112 Decibels?) But if you enjoy great music, pure spectacle, and a kick-ass band - BUY THIS NOW!!! You will not be disappointed. It needs to be on DVD! And for those critics out there, please remember that this show was done entirely for charity. For that, I'd hope you'd check your purist chops at the door and support the world's greatest rock band! (And Loudest!!!)

I felt this concert was outstanding, some people feel that the orchestra wasnt necessary but i feel that to perform Tommy you really need the horns and the percussion section. However, the guest appearances by Patti Labelle and Billy Idol really didnt do it for me. Idol spoke the lyrics to "Cousin Kevin" and Labelle thought she was some diva doing "Acid Queen" (and by the way she said "watch his body rise" instead of "watch his body writhe". Besides these two, the appearances by Elton John, Steve Winwood and especially Phill Collins were spectacular. A great show except for Idol and Labelle

This is an excellent performance by The Who, accompanied by a band large enough to play the rock opera TOMMY as originally recorded on the album. It carries all the energy of the live Who, and presents the music in a way that two guitars and a drum set, however well played, can never achieve. Here's hoping we'll see a similar release of the live QUADROPHENIA!

I liked this video but of course i like everything that the who has put out. Musically of course it is great, the band looks good, but they play better without all the other people on stage, the who is best as a 4 or 5 person band, 20 some people on stage is just not for them.
