For a band that held its farewell tour in 1982, the Who sound far from finished when it comes to exploring the greater passions and sonic possibilities of its old material. Never has that been more evident than in The Who: Live at the Royal Albert Hall, a record of the group's remarkable stand at a charity gig in London late in 2000. Perennial patrons of adolescents, the Who is clearly energized by an emotional attachment to Britain's Teenage Cancer Trust (beneficiary of the fundraiser), a feeling that also sweeps through several well-chosen guests who happen to be spiritual descendants of the band. After a long opening set that includes a scorching "Anyway Anyhow Anywhere," a gorgeous update of "The Kids Are Alright," and a soulful "Bargain," the Who usher in punk violinist Nigel Kennedy to help electrify "Baba O'Riley," the Jam's founder Paul Weller for a lovely, acoustic rendition of "So Sad About Us," and Stereophonics guitarist-vocalist Kelly Jones for a nearly epiphanous "Substitute." More than just a parade of celebrities paying homage to Townshend and fellow Olympians Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle, the select visitors here challenge the Who to add new colors to old warhorses (Noel Gallagher's psychedelic tinge on "Won't Get Fooled Again") and delicate semiclassics (Eddie Vedder's sympathetic duet with Townshend on "I'm One"). By the end of a robust evening, Daltrey's voice is shot and Townshend looks ready for a shot of vitamins, but anyone who would declare the Who a bunch of worn-out grandpas is spoiling for a Mod-era stomping. This is an essential set for Who loyalists and a wonderful show for everyone else. --Tom Keogh

 Who Live Albert Hall December 21, 2008
Stephano (MD USA)
I bought this DVD because I wanted to get Entwistle on DVD, and this was his last concert with The Who. The 5:15 solo Entwistle does is unsurpassed. The sound is excellent with this entire concert.
I would also recommend the Concert for NY as well on DVD, since The Who were, in my opinion, the highlight of that concert.
One of The Who's best performances... March 11, 2008
J. L. B. Schulze (Levittown, PR)
I was really taken by the Kids' performance on this one. Their voices were a bit raspy but hey, age catches up with us all. That camera take of good ol' Thunder Fingers (RIP) gave a true look at the Ox's unique way to play the hell of a bass. He will always be remembered. I was particularly pleased with Zack's drum performance (he's no Keith, of course... but he's excellent none the less), which brings me to to the fact that Keith wasn't even mentioned or remembered or not even a picture or something to his tribute. Pete's unique guitar playing was excellent as usual, even after all those years. The talent guests gave an excellent performance and adapted very well to the Who songs and were a nice treat. And best of all, it was for all those teenage cancer patients. Truly a remarkably nice gesture. In all, this is a show that will be remembered and I recommend this DVD to all of us Who true fans and to beginners as well.

This is great show - Like the one Cream Reunion did there later -
I find the levels irratating for some reason - The best part for me is the Special Feathers DVD2 that has the rehearsals on there with guests(Eddie Vedder - Bryan Adams - Pual Weller - Noel Gallagher) it's neat to see them rehearsing - fans never get that angle before since the 1979 rehearsal with Kenny Jones for the first gig with him for the New Who Rainbow Theater gig in London - Ringo's son is at this practice - Roger talks about the charity for sick cancer kids (the Teenage Cancer Trust ) etc.. - and Multi- angle Version of Pinball Wizard Like I said it's not bad but I like other DVD's better like Live Tommy - Quadraphina 3DVD set
 The little known best one without Moon August 1, 2007
Greg W. Morling (Sydney, Australia)
There are a number of WHO DVD's around but of the 'new' WHO lineup, this is the best. Compare the other new ones that don't include John Entwhistle, they are no way as good. Check out just how much he drove the band with Keith Moon.(which is why I give any WHO DVD without Keith a '4' rating) Its worth buying this just to see Entwhistle on the bass. Such an underrated musician. The other guests are really good as well. Usual power and colour from townsend as well. If, like me you live in Australia then this new version will not play in our zone and you will need to have a DVD player tht can be tuned or changed to all sector zones, otherwise its a bloody hassle.
Absolutely Amazing!!! January 17, 2007

This is a must have for any Who fan,especially if you love how John Einwistle plays, his bass solo is the best I've seen, I couldn't have expected anything better!
