This is what a rock band looks like! I don't care what type of music you like, watch Pete and Keith in action, and John is no slouch either! Probably the best bass player of the 60's and half way into the 70's. If Keith Mood can't inspire the drummer AND rock star in you give up. No one can. When I got this film I kept watching it, like if I watched it enough he come back to life. And you know what, he did, in my head at least. His performance during the Stones Rock and Roll Circus is PURE JOY! I've never seen anyone have so much fun and emotion playing drums! And Pete, inventor of the powerslide, and a wild man on stage in general. In a couple tracks he sounds more like Zeppelin or Sabbath than he does the Who. I really like the Bo Diddley Road Runner cover also. I might have to buy this movie. It was awesome. At least the album so I can think about the movie while I listen!

If you are a Who fan this is a film you should not miss. I enjoyed the documentary from start to finish. I liked taking a look back to the time I grew up in. The sound track of my life includes a lot of Who songs so this was a treat for me. The sound was very good on the surround sound making the movie all the more enjoyable. My favorite part of the film is an interview of the Who that gets out of control. The poor guy with the mic lost control of the interview. That alone was worth the price of admission.

This has been in my Quene for about 6 years! Staus has gone from "Long Wait" (I'll say!) to "unavailable". I don't know why it is still showing in the Catalog. It is an awsome movie that I would like to show my kids, wish I could rent a copy.....
