3.0 out of 5 stars Welcome release, but..., May 5, 2009

By 

Mick (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Who: 30 Years Of Maximum R&B Live (DVD)

Be forwarned that the three 1970 Tanglewood songs from the original release, possibly the best footage on the whole thing, have been omitted from this new version. And the footage of Keith Moon passed out at the 1973 Cow Palace show has been removed. Also, two of the three "new" songs on the first disc were already on the recently released Kilburn DVD set. For many, however, the Rockpalast disc alone will be worth the price.

Two stars for the first disc, four for the second.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a BARGAIN! Sound is improved as well., April 18, 2009

By 

T. O'Sullivan "Principle ENT" (Dublin,IRL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Who: 30 Years Of Maximum R&B Live (DVD)

The graphics on this DVD set are better than the original. Nice version of WGFA from Shea '82.
The entire Essen '81 show is here in 5.1 sound. Better than the crummy bootleg out there. Why would a Who fan not want this at so low a price? Its better than the original in every way. The only thing missing is Tanglewood 70 ...but who cares, if you have the original...you have it. Plus there are enough shows from the 69/70 era out there anyway.
I would pay 16.99 for just the remastered 5.1 Essen show alone. Everything else is just a bonus. People were paying 50 dollars (and up) on Ebay just for the used original disc........ why not pay 16.99 and get more!?
People wanted a re-release... here it is...buy it. Enough complaining.

5.0 out of 5 stars best WHO starter kit, September 10, 2009

This review is from: The Who: 30 Years Of Maximum R&B Live (DVD)

This DVD is the best 2 1/2 hours of WHO tunes and interviews out there.
Where the DVD "Amazing Journey:The story of the Who" failed by not showing the complete songs, this one does it right!
Great song list, great footage, short interview clips inbetween songs, cant be beat!
The second DVD in the box is said to be a "limited edition" and features the complete 1981 show in Germany with Kenny Jones on Drums, buy your copy now before they delete the second DVD.

If you're a Who fan and just starting your collection, this one rocks and is probably the best!
If you have all the DVD's already, this one has a few duplicates in it from previous DVD's, but still a gem!
