The Who at Kilburn 2-DVD Set

On December 15, 1977, after a hiatus of over a year, The Who assembled at the Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn, North London, to record a concert for Jeff Stein’s documentary film The Kids Are Alright. Shot before a select invited audience, it would turn out to be the next to last live performance by Keith Moon. [Moon died on September 7, 1978, from an accidental overdose of medication he was taking to combat alcoholism.] The concert opens with the band on stage as Roger Daltry says: “We don’t know what this will be like … we haven’t played these songs in a year.”

The 1977 Kilburn concert, never-before-seen in its entirety, has been digitally restored and remastered. The show is a long-sought “Holy Grail” for fans who saw only a few tantalizing glimpses in The Kids Are Alright.

The second disc of this 2-DVD set features The Who’s powerhouse London Coliseum gig from 1969, a never-before-seen rarity and one of the band’s personal favorites. The disc is packed The Who’s biggest hit songs and rarely-performed favorites. A separate section includes excerpts from the main concert at the Coliseum featuring “A Quick One While He’s Away” and the first long version of the complete opera performance of “Tommy” seen live!
