Usually ships in 24 hours | | | Alternative Versions | | The Who`s "The Kids Are Alright," is the 1978 soundtrack album to what is a very good biopic of the band. The album collects mostly live performances of many of The Who`s best known songs. The live versions are, for the most part, harder edged than the original studio versions. The Smothers Brothers Show version of "My Generation," for example features Keith Moon detonating his drum kit with explosives at the end of the song. He didn`t tell anyone ahead of time that he was going to do it, which made it one of rock`s classic moments (the expressions of the other band members in the movie is priceless). The Who`s definitive live album remains "Live at Leeds" (especially the expanded version), but "The Kids Are Alright" holds its own well enough. It also features the final public performances of Moon, recorded shortly before his death. One word of caution: If you are planning to purchase this CD used, the original release essentially had no CD booklet accompanying it. Make sure that you`re getting a later version, which at least partially restored the extensive and colorful booklet that accompanied the original lp. | | | | The Ultimate live album from The Who | | This was my first "The Who" album when I bought it in 1979. Until then I had no Idea how many songs The Who cranked out or how good they were. When I originally bouight this album, it was a 2-record set with a "book" inside the album jacket. I recently bought it again on Amazon.com but this time as a CD. The CD has stayed true to the original, and it even has the "book" in a miniature form. If you like The Who, and especially if you like to hear them do Live versions of their songs, get this album. You won`t be disappointed! | | | | Alright! | | Any new Who product is cause for celebration. While not quite as newsworthy as some of the the other Who re-releases, this CD package restores the Join Together/Roadrunner/My Generation Blues medley, the liner notes and some of the original graphics (but not all) from the 1979 vinyl package. The restored sound is quite a bit better than that of the first CD issue. Unfortunately, they`ve also reproduced the studio versions of I Can See For Miles, Magic Bus, and Long Live Rock (which most Who fans already have). The Who`s place in rock history remains as important as ever, however, the newer generation of music lovers might only be aware of their "hits" and less aware of their prominence as the greatest live band of their time. While not as great of a live concert album as Live At Leeds, this is a great sampling of the ferocity of their live performances especially on Young Man Blues, A Quick One, My Wife, and Baba O`Riley. Hopefully, MCA will see fit to release more live material, particularly from their Quadrophenia and By Numbers tours. Long ago, it was just four guys. Nobody has done it any better. | | |
