Editorial Review: Description: For millions of fans around the world, The Who has defined the quintessential rock band for nearly four decades. The band's extraordinary music and lyrics have left and indelible imprint on music history, and their live performances are legendary. Songs: I Can't Explain Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere Pinball Wizard Relay My Wife The Kids Are Alright Bargain Magic Bus Who Are You Baba O-Riley Drowned Heart To Hang Onto So Sad About Us I'm One Behind Blue Eyes You Better You Bet The Real Me 5:15 Won't Get Fooled Again Substitute Let's See Action My Generation See Me, Feel Me Amazon.com: For a band that held its farewell tour in 1982, the Who sound far from finished when it comes to exploring the greater passions and sonic possibilities of its old material. Never has that been more evident than in The Who: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a record of the group's remarkable stand at a charity gig in London late in 2000. Perennial patrons of adolescents, the Who is clearly energized by an emotional attachment to Britain's Teenage Cancer Trust (beneficiary of the fundraiser), a feeling that also sweeps through several well-chosen guests who happen to be spiritual descendants of the band. After a long opening set that includes a scorching "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere," a gorgeous update of "The Kids Are Alright," and a soulful "Bargain," the Who usher in punk violinist Nigel Kennedy to help electrify "Baba O'Riley," the Jam's founder Paul Weller for a lovely, acoustic rendition of "So Sad About Us," and Stereophonics guitarist-vocalist Kelly Jones for a nearly epiphanous "Substitute." More than just a parade of celebrities paying homage to Townshend and fellow Olympians Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle, the select visitors here challenge the Who to add new colors to old warhorses (Noel Gallagher's psychedelic tinge on "Won't Get Fooled Again") and delicate semiclassics (Eddie Vedder's sympathetic duet with Townshend on "I'm One"). By the end of a robust evening, Daltrey's voice is shot and Townshend looks ready for a shot of vitamins, but anyone who would declare the Who a bunch of worn-out grandpas is spoiling for a Mod-era stomping. This is an essential set for Who loyalists and a wonderful show for everyone else. --Tom Keogh Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - One of The Who's best performances...I was really taken by the Kids' performance on this one. Their voices were a bit raspy but hey, age catches up with us all. That camera take of good ol' Thunder Fingers (RIP) gave a true look at the Ox's unique way to play the hell of a bass. He will always be remembered. I was particularly pleased with Zack's drum performance (he's no Keith, of course... but he's excellent none the less), which brings me to to the fact that Keith wasn't even mentioned or remembered or not even a picture or something to his tribute. Pete's unique guitar playing was excellent as usual, even after all those years. The talent guests gave an excellent performance and adapted very well to the Who songs and were a nice treat. And best of all, it was for all those ...

Compare the other new ones that don't include John Entwhistle, they are no way as good. Check out just how much he drove the band with Keith Moon.(which is why I give any WHO DVD without Keith a '4' rating) Its worth buying this just to see Entwhistle on the bass. Such an underrated musician. The other guests are really good as well. Usual power and colour from townsend as well. If, like me you live in Australia then this new version will not play in our zone and you will need to have a DVD player tht can be tuned or changed to all sector zones, otherwise its a bloody hassle. Rating: - Absolutely Amazing!!!This is a must have for any Who fan,especially if you love how John Einwistle plays, his bass solo is the best I've seen, I couldn't have expected anything better! Rating: - Absolutely the BEST post Moon Who DVD (so far)What a treat this was after watching the "Tommy and Quadrophenia Live" DVD. Don't get me wrong, that DVD was fine, but this one just blew me away. There are some factors included in this concert that didn't work, but 92% of this concert is incredible. Let's start with what doesn't work to get it out of the way. Three of the special guests should not have been there. I'm referring to Noel Gallagher, Bryan Adams, and Kelly Jones. Now, I don't really have anything against any of them on their own, but when you put them with the Who, it simply does not fit. First of all, Noel Gallagher plays on "Won't Get Fooled Again" which is my all time favorite Who song. He plays what Pete should be playing. The sound is good but I always know in the ...
