Review of The Who: The Kids Are Alright (1979) by Broken H — 04 Feb 2008

As a huge WHO fan, there isn't much that I can say here that will not be bias, but that being said, this is a fucking great film.

I hadn't seen this documentary for ages, and now there is a dvd that comes with a fair bit of additional footage, the best part for me being a couple of songs with only the late John Entwistle's amazing bass, with the rest of the sound removed. Pretty amazing.

If one wants to be critical, the film is short on interviews and heavy on concert footage, but that suits me fine. The bonus disc also features a good interview with Roger, so that may help strike a better balance as a documentary.

Overall, time well spent.
