The Who

The Who - The Kids Are Alright (1973) dvd rip




From the early black and white days to their colourful hedonistic era, you will Rock! See them at their most creative, and destructive, and experience The Who: Here!
Through concert performances and interviews, this film offers us an "inside look" at this famous rock group, "The Who". It captures their zany craziness and outrageous antics from the initial formation of the group to its major hit "Who Are You", and features the last performance of drummer keith Moon just prior to his death.

The quality of the music contained in The Kids are Alright cannot be doubted. For those who never saw the Who live, including the reviewer, the DVD offers an insight into how explosive the band was on stage. It could not start any more explosive than the opening My Generation. Taken from a US television show, this performance has gone down in Who folklore. Quite simply, Keith Moon bribed the stagehands to put more than the usual amount of explosives in his drums for the finale. What happened? Take a look at the DVD.

While the Who were known to be at each other's throats much of the time, there is also plenty of humour and this comes across well in the interview clips. When asked by a young Mod girl if the amount of drugs the band took meant that they were blocked on stage, a dead-pan Townshend replies that it meant they were blocked all of the time!

But of course it is the music that is the main thing. A chronological telling of the Who's career might have been what is expected but there is no clear order to the music. It could be said that this helps to disguise the possible decline of the band from its 1960s peak. However, it could also be said that it evens out the band's work, making all of it equally important. Black and white footage from the sixties showing tracks like I Can't Explain, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere and Substitute and mixed with sixties colour such as The Rolling Stones Rock 'n' Roll Circus and footage especially shot for the film in 1978. The latter was Keith Moon's final performance with the Who in front of an invited audience at Shepperton Studios. The two tracks played were Baba O'Reilly and Won't Get Fooled Again
