2.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinarily stingy record of wonderful concert, June 23, 2001

Search out the concert video of this, and then burn a cd of its soundtrack. There's just too much good stuff on it that wasn't put on this disc to make the cd a purchase you'll be happy with. Pete looks and sounds great, being content to be the bandleader and leave the guitar heroics to David Gilmour (yes, *that* David Gilmour). MIA here are a fun, relaxed, big-band version of "Won't Get Fooled Again", an even more fun acoustic singalong of "Magic Bus", and a hilariously screeching rendition of "I Put A Spell On You." If the powers that be are content to let a major film statement of The Who like _The Kids Are Alright_ drift in and out of availability, in mutilated form, then I guess there's not a lot of hope for getting a reissue of the Deep End concert. But you'll kick yourself if you settle for this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Pete Townshend's Deep End Live! [LIVE], July 29, 2001

I'm reviewing this CD for one reason only. To punctuate exactly what a couple of you have already said. Hopefully some layman at Atlantic Records will figure out they could make some money if they re-released this title on DVD. Caveat emptor -this is NOT the full length version of the audio from the concert. The music is excellent, but it's not all here. Incidentally, this is some of the best ensemble work I've seen or heard by a collection of musicians in a rock format. You can hear every musician on stage, and no one gets buried in the mix - but again, it's NOT ALL HERE. Some of the best performances are left off of this CD. I know this is basically a transfer of a recording that was originally slated for the LP format (the album featured the exact same playlist- I own that too) but someone has got to get it together and re-release the whole Deep End Live concert. This CD is lip service to the entire performance at best. If this is ever released on DVD format, I know I'd pick up a copy immediately. It's a definitive concert performance, aurally and visually. Listening Atlantic??

The full concert IS available on CD. Townshend released it a year or two ago on his Signature Series of CD's. [...] along with some other shows and specialty items.
