I've seen that flick so many times and bought the recently released DVD, which I urge all Who fans to get. What can you say about the power of The Who that hasn't been said already? They were so amazingly, incredibly powerful. Most of these new up and coming bands (that suck) should take a hard look at how The Who handled themselves live. They channeled their energies so impressively and never looked like (complete) imbeciles doing it (like all the new bands do....see 'Simple Plan' , 'Good Charlotte' and 'New Found Glory' for example. What the F*CK are THOSE guys doing? Not a clue!!) I only got to see The Who once at Madison Square Garden in October of 2000. A friend had free tickets and I honestly didn't go expecting the power of the early Who, but it didn't take long to see that they were still on top of their game 36 years on. Amazing! And Zak Starkey was a suitable fit to sit in place of Moonie. Also glad I got to see John Entwistle before he left the building! Got to meet Roger Daltrey a couple of months ago as well, which was also very cool! LONG LIVE ROCK!
