The Who: Tommy - Live At The Royal Albert Hall [Blu-ray] [2017]

Description

In April 2017 The Who took to the stage at London’s Royal Albert Hall to perform their rock opera “Tommy” live in its entirety for the first time in their long and illustrious career. Previous Who live shows had always dropped two, three or four tracks from the album but for this show in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust the band would perform every track. With specially created animations on a huge screen above the stage and creative use of lighting the concert told the story of the “deaf, dumb and blind kid who sure played a mean pinball.” In addition, at the end of Tommy, the sell-out crowd was treated to a short set of Who classics. Always a great live band, this performance was a thrilling ride from start to finish. Review: 50 years on just as good - After Quadraphenia I thought you might retire. Thank God you didn't. I think this concert is wonderful, almost as good as the Quadraphenia Blu-ray. You guys must feel so proud!!! I think you are the best rock band in the world still and in your 70's - just unbelievable. Review: Rock on Tommy! - A great performance overall. Roger’s voice isn’t what it was, but there is still some power there, and loads of enthusiasm. Pete, of course, can’t be faulted on the guitar. The other musicians play well, and Zak is great on the drums.
