DVD: The Who Live @ Kilburn 1977

[Jaimoe]

I've seen some of the footage from the Kilburn concert and it looks and sounds great. Moon was in surprisingly good form especially at this late date in his life.

What I really am excited about though is the bonus 1969 London Coliseum performance.

Here are the details:

I downloaded the PBS version (no 69 footage) of this from back in aug or sept, good show.

I would love to get my hands on the version of Tommy from may or june 69 with Pete playing 12 string acoustic. The first full-length recording of Tommy is still pretty sweet though.

The Kilburn concert must have the only Moon live version of "Who Are You" officially out (not including The Kids are Alright one-off). Interesting that they performed it before the album came out.

"Young Man Blues" and "Shakin' All Over" from the '69 era is about as heavy as The Who ever got.
