Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

For a band that held its farewell tour in 1982, the Who sound far from finished when it comes to exploring the greater passions and sonic possibilities of its old material. Never has that been more evident than in The Who: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a record of the group's remarkable stand at a charity gig in London late in 2000. Perennial patrons of adolescents, the Who is clearly energized by an emotional attachment to Britain's Teenage Cancer Trust (beneficiary of the fundraiser), a feeling that also sweeps through several well-chosen guests who happen to be spiritual descendants of the band. After a long opening set that includes a scorching "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere," a gorgeous update of "The Kids Are Alright," and a soulful "Bargain," the Who usher in punk violinist Nigel Kennedy to help electrify "Baba O'Riley," the Jam's founder Paul Weller for a lovely, acoustic rendition of "So Sad About Us," and Stereophonics guitarist-vocalist Kelly Jones for a nearly epiphanous "Substitute."

More than just a parade of celebrities paying homage to Townshend and fellow Olympians Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle, the select visitors here challenge the Who to add new colors to old warhorses (Noel Gallagher's psychedelic tinge on "Won't Get Fooled Again") and delicate semiclassics (Eddie Vedder's sympathetic duet with Townshend on "I'm One"). By the end of a robust evening, Daltrey's voice is shot and Townshend looks ready for a shot of vitamins, but anyone who would declare the Who a bunch of worn-out grandpas is spoiling for a Mod-era stomping. This is an essential set for Who loyalists and a wonderful show for everyone else. --Tom Keogh

Additional Features

On the special features side, typical Who thoroughness has seen to a documentary on the Cancer Trust hosted by Daltrey, a multi-angle look at a performance of "Pinball Wizard," and plenty of fly-on-the-wall footage of rehearsals. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST OF THE WHO LIVE!!!!!, Feb 22 2006
By A Customer
This review is from: The Who & Special Guests - Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2000 (2DVD) (DVD)
This is one of the best Live DVD's that I have ever seen! The sound, and video editing is very good it truley is the best WHO LIVE Dvd's out there. Must have in your WHO collection!!!
The package comes with 2 DVD's. The 1st DVD is the whole concert EXCELLANT, and the 2nd DVD is just extras which I find was a little boring. The extras were made up of interviews and studio clips that lasted minutes. Not worth watching a second time, but the 1st DVD (THE WHOLE CONCERT) is 5 Stars*****!!!!!!!
Worth every penny!

The Who Fan

This review is from: The Who & Special Guests - Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2000 (2DVD) (DVD)
Why did I wait so long to get this fabulous concert? Highlights for me are Entwistle's incredible bass solo, Zak's energetic drumming, Daltrey's ease of great singing, Pete's accoustic guitar palying, a crowd that really loved it, a real fun version of "Magic Bus", and overall a band that really played a concert and gave it all. Thanks.

This review is from: The Who & Special Guests - Live At The Royal Albert Hall 2000 (2DVD) (DVD)
On November 27, 2000, the Who closed their tour with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. In my opinion they've never played a better concert. The looseness of the group makes for a relaxed atmosphere and some really great rock and roll. There is a lot of improvisational jamming in between songs. The band acts very free onstage. For instance, when Roger sings the line, "Can I buy your magic bus" Pete screams out "No!" All in all a wonderful performance and a great DVD.
