Can you buy the whole performance on DVD?

[sactown18]

ya its a two disk set one dvd has the london coliseum show and the other has the 1977 show at kilburn, but the dvd is called "the who live at kilburn 1977"

I'd give up fresh orange juice for life given the chance to have seen this show.

[sactown18]

nice!! i like that dedication

[billy959]

see this is why i get pissed when people say the beatles are the best rock band in the world they could never give a show like this

[Fredrockroll]

@Scarperguy totally agree. And i would say more: i think that when two bands hit certain 'level' of 'epicness', you can't say one is better than the other. It becomes only a matter of taste.

best live drumming of this song from Keith...

Listen to those Tambourines

[babyshambler]

@sactown18 And an awesome DVD

[Scarperguy]

@billy959 Ah yeah, but the Beatles quit touring in '66, most people ignored their music when they played live, screaming girls and all that, they came more to 'see' them than to 'hear' them. In all fairness, I think both bands are the best bands in the world for very different reasons, and each had a great respect for the other one. I'm at a stage where I can say the Who and the Beatles are equals. The Beatles - yes, very studio based, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

@yooperwholigan13: It wasn't only The Who. Bill Wyman and John Paul Jones were rarely filmed. The bass has always been ignored by most people. The average person doesn't process bass guitar like they do other instruments. That, and the fact that most guitarists are more charismatic than bassists, they get people's attention faster. A producer once said bass should be "felt, not heard". Entwistle tried to change that but sadly, most people didn't pick up on what he was trying to accomplish.

@tomthefunky I KNOW!! What they need is 4 spotlights, one for each band member. The footage from Woodstock and Monterey Pop is the worst in that respect, if you couldn't hear John you wouldn't even know they had a bassist! All you get is an occasional glimpse of the neck of his bass.

@GrassySound - Did you ever take a close look at Pete's hand in the Odorono photo on the cover of The Who Sell Out?

@billy959 I couldn't have said it better. THE WHO. There's nothing more to say.
