Listening to You: The Who at the Isle of Wight 1970 (1998)
I highly recommend this movie if you are a Who fan.
Listening to You: The Who at the Isle of Wight Festival (1996)was actually filmed in 1970, 1 year after they had performed at Woodstock. The Who's Rock Opera Tommy was a big hit at this point and they had performed it for over a year. The Isle of Wight concert had 600,000 in attendance and was kind of regarded as the Woodstock of England. The Who supplied their PA system which was the most powerful at the time for all the performing bands to use. I watched this on DVD and was amazed at the video and audio quality. There are great close-ups of Keith Moon going nuts on the drums, John Entwistle's great thundering fingers on the bass, Pete Townshend's windmills, and Roger Daltrey spinning the microphone. Watching this makes you understand why they were regarded as the best live rock band.
The Who : The Kids Are Alright (1979)
The greatest (and loudest) Rock band ever.
Tommy and Quadrophenia are great movies because Pete Townshend's music is so emotional, energetic and exciting. But nothing compares to The Who live in concert, which The Kids Are Alright definitely captures. The movie also shows the great sense of humor that the band had, especially spotlighting drummer Keith Moon, and almost became a tribute to him since he died shortly after its release.
