The Who - Live at Isle of Wight Festival 1970 Reviews
another waste of money dvd
yea yea I read the reviews before I bought and can see some people said the sound is not all that great, BUT the dvd has been redone so ok I will try it, since I have no WHO DVD's and will not buy any of them without my man Keith. miss ya Keith!
but what is this! this whole show sounds like ( and yes I have a kick [...] system and play lots of music dvds) they are all running into each other in a corner of a room or something.
everything sounds like its playing over the top of each other.
Keith my MANs drums sound horrible! he is flying, but this is just bad, not even ONE song worth listening too.
MARSHAL Amps, should we get a clue that the amps are not? what ARE those amps? I dont know if that had anything to do with it, but man.
and no, old tech talk excuse is not valid. Led Zep is out on DVD and it is clear and flying high.
so this is it! no WHO dvd for me. bummer! pray tell they have some stuff in a vault like Led Zep.
Greatest Performance, Very Close to Greatest WHO DVD
The Who performed at the 3rd Isle of Wight Festival only a few months after recording a live album called "Live at Leeds". The Leeds concert was one of the greatest rock concerts ever held... This was better. The Who took the stage in the early morning and rampaged through many fan favorites and Tommy. For those who want the complete Isle of Wight, get the CD set; it is incredable. But as great as it is to listen to the Who, to see them is something much higher. This DVD is incredible, the sound quality is imaculate and the video is amazing for the documentary standards of 1970. Where this DVD falls short is that it presents the set out of order by stacking all of the non-Tommy songs at the front. There are massive cut ups of songs like "My Generation", "Magic Bus", "Overture", "Twist and Shout", and smaller cuts, but they are very noticable. Unlike the CD set, the DVD is out of order and lacks some of the great performances of the Who's set: "1921", "Amazing Journey", "Sparks", "Substitute", and "Smash the Mirror".
Other than these cut outs, this DVD is amazing, forget the fact that some of the music from the night was lost. The stage leaps, windmills, and guitar feedback from Pete is incredible. Keith Moon's drumming is as crazy as ever and at his peak. Numerous times, he launches drumsticks over 25 feet up in the air; catching ever single one. Keith's antics are as hilarious as ever. Roger swings the microphone so fast at one point that you can hear a swirling sound. John Entwistle. God Rest His Soul. The greatest Bass Guitar of all-time. His bassline is as strong as I have ever heard it. His growling vocals as 'The Boss and the Congressman' in "Summertime Blues" is a must hear and my favorite. What's better, John is wearing a costume with white skeleton bones all over it.
As The Who burst into "See Me, Feel Me" they drenched the audience with very bright floodlights to simulate what the sun had done for them at Woodstock.
This is a must own for any Who fan and most rock fans.
