The Who have been in my mind one of the best (and in some respects the best) solid Rock band for some time now. While they're last 2 studio albums weren't up to standard, overall they had a good run. Last year, this concert was filmed at the end of they're 2000 tour, and I had some mixed feelings about it. It will make any Who fan feel weirded out to see the kids now have gotten, uh, older.

The Who have been in my mind one of the best (and in some respects the best) solid Rock band for some time now. While they're last 2 studio albums weren't up to standard, overall they had a good run. Last year, this concert was filmed at the end of they're 2000 tour, and I had some mixed feelings about it. It will make any Who fan feel weirded out to see the kids now have gotten, uh, older. And as such, they aren't as razor sharp and excellently sounding as they were in the old days (I'm reminded of the classic rock film The Kids Are Alright if you need example).Yet, this is just a minor flaw in this show. I found this concert to be rocking, and entertaining most of the time. A little off, but when the music and the excitement on statge is still this awesome, why carp? Classics are all included (Can't Explain, My Generation, 5:15, Won't Get Fooled Again, The Real Me) and special guests like the Gallaghers and Eddie Vedder will be appreciated by most. Overall, Who fans and most rock fans will find this worthwhile. However, like the Who concert filmed in 1989 (they performed Tommy), a void is always there without good old Keith. A-
