Yep. I agree . Lots of documented Who performances. But this one stands out. And it's been said that this particular one was one of their best. Keith looks like he's about to win the NBA slam dunk contest at several points. Pete is just bold as white gold in the spotlight at one point and playing with "fuck all" brevity. Both the sound and video available of this concert needs to have all the technical knobs and buttons pushed to make it optimal. Sort of like what Led Zeppelin did with their DVD release of their '70 Royal Albert Hall concert about ten years ago.

Definitely better. In fact, my jaw is on the floor as this is the first time I've seen this and I thought the 7/7/70 show at Tanglewood and Live At Leeds were the best of all during this tour. The band are totally in sync and the chemistry is incredible, as is the natural ambiance of the room itself. They are on a wavelength here that is unmatched in any performance of Amazing Journey/Sparks that I've seen or heard in a live setting anywhere with the exception (maybe) of the 1989 show with all the guest stars, but that one seems more controlled and has less fire than this, but per 2000toddowen, it has the same audio/visual technical aspect to it that the Led Zeppelin DVD you're referring to does. I would love to see this one in its entirety. On that note, that 1970 Zeppelin show at Royal Albert Hall seems to be the only one (except for the earlier stuff) where Page didn't fly in audio over poorly played spots like he did on the rest of that DVD collection. It was an incredible show and Led Zeppelin at their best and obviously more about music and less about the "consumables." The Ludwig kit Bonham is playing is unbelievably crisp and tight, and the panning that was engineered at the show is perfect as is the mix and the crispness of the video production. I'm sure the sound and video were doctored a bit after the fact by Page, but it seems to be much more minimal and he allowed that show to be seen in its entirety w/o other parts flown in and you can't argue with the sound of that hall and the electricity of that performance, which blew me away the first time I saw it in 2003 when it was first released.

Very accurate observation. It's enjoyable to play covers and The Who did start off their career doing that just like everyone else. But when The Beatles came along who were writing / composing originals, the pressure was on for everyone else. I think Pete under pressure was tired of writing pop singles and really took a chance with Tommy. What a glorious risk! But yes, it is a pity that originality today is really hard to find.

@yooperwholigan13: It wasn't only The Who. Bill Wyman and John Paul Jones were rarely filmed. The bass has always been ignored by most people. The average person doesn't process bass guitar like they do other instruments. That, and the fact that most guitarists are more charismatic than bassists, they get people's attention faster. A producer once said bass should be "felt, not heard". Entwistle tried to change that but sadly, most people didn't pick up on what he was trying to accomplish.

The Beatles were the first band to write their own hits and record the poppy rock standard which bands such as The Animals, Rolling Stones, The Who, The Kinks, The Yardbirds, etc, all took from them. They inspired an entirely new span of rock n roll, they even changed society as well. They promoted psychedelic drugs in their music and formed a hippy counterculture and also popularized long hair
