Excellent bio of a great band, not just for hardcore fans. Puts them in their historical context, looks at each of their unique (and slightly twisted) personalities, in particular how Moon and Entwistle and Townsend bounced off each other and made their 3-piece sound so much bigger. Nobody could quite work out what Moon and Entwistle were doing but each did something unique and innovative with their instruments. After Entwistle ("The Ox") died, Daltrey and Townsend explain how difficult it was to create the same sound; despite enlisting strings and brass and backing vocals, it was never the same.

i saw a reviwe on tv and i decided it was an xcellent choice. I saw it and it is more than i expected. the who rules!
i would like to have said that this was fantastic which in fact it is but i did not get the collectors edition with limited booklet that i paid for as advertised.so iam left crying over spilt milk and what might have been like a failed romance.having said that the footage is breathtaking .to much gunpowder in keiths bass drum.and poor old pete is still deaf in one ear today.i cannot tell you which ear but thats a good question for manic who fans.would have liked to have seen more isle of wight footage from the three times they have played as this dvd is directed by murray lerner the oscar winning music documetary film maker.the interviews are brilliant.the footage nicely restored.a true english rock band with more talent in there toenails than most of the bands in q top twenty recent album poll. many thanks richard r wilkinson wartner2@yahoo.co.ukRead full review
If you like Bob Dylan,If you even barely appreciate the 1960's Rock or Pop music Scene,if you love superb filming,fly on the wall backstage footage......WATCH THIS. Witness Bob Dylan and his enterage in totally natural backstage scenes.Feel the tention,watch pre-show preperations.I won't name drop,but they are all here. Personally,I love the way Bob runs rings around the media,his sharp wit,and uncanny sence of humour.Don't be put off by the fact that it was all filmed in black and white on 8mm cine Camera.It is of the period,and the era is captured magically. I bought my DVD when it was still a little bit of a "Bootleg",but they are widely available now and totally legitimate. There is no commentary,it is simply a case that the film maker(D.A.Pennebaker)was allowed to tag along,and capture some exclusive footage.the people on film seem totally oblivious to the fact that he was there. If however,you watch the directors cut afterwards(which is the best way to do it)many things fall into place.Pennebaker never knew at the time what he was not just witnessing,but what he captured,for what must surely rate highly as one of the best Rock archives ever captured. By the way,There is a fair amount of music too,much of it Jamming,some teasing of other artists.Please just watch it,you won't regret it.Read full review
