| The Who are an English rock band formed in Shepherd’s Bush, West London, United Kingdom, in 1964. They grew to be considered one of the greatest, most influential, and awarded recording groups in the world. They are also famed for their prowess as a live band—being described as “possibly the greatest live band ever”—due to their energetic, tight, loud performances and smashing of instruments.
The Who rose to fame in the United Kingdom with a pioneering instrument destruction stage show, as well as a series of top ten hit singles (including the celebrated “My Generation”) and top five albums, beginning in 1965 with their first single release “I Can’t Explain”. They first hit the top ten in the USA in 1967 with “I Can See for Miles”. The 1969 release of Tommy was the first in a series of top five albums for the group in the USA, followed by Live at Leeds (1970), Who’s Next (1971), Quadrophenia (1973), and Who Are You (1978). Live at Leeds is commonly cited as one of the albums that brought hard rock into the mainstream during the early 1970s.
Roger Daltrey – lead vocals, guitar, harmonica, percussion (1964–present) Pete Townshend – guitar, keyboards, synthesisers, vocals (1964–present) John Entwistle – bass guitar, horns, keyboards, vocals (1964–2002) Keith Moon – drums (1964–1978)
The Who at Kilburn: 1977 is a film of two live performances by British rock band the Who released as a two-disc DVD set on 17 November 2008 by Image Entertainment. The first disc included the band's performance at the Gaumont State Theatre on 15 December 1977, while the second disc featured the band's performance at the London Coliseum on 14 December 1969. The film restoration was produced by Nigel Sinclair's Spitfire Pictures in association with Trinifold Management.
The Kilburn show was recorded for Jeff Stein's documentary film The Kids Are Alright and was The Who's first show in over a year. However, due to sound problems, it was canned for over 30 years, with only two small portions of the whole gig actually made it to The Kids Are Alright—Pete saying "There's a guitar up here, if any big-mouthed little git wants to come up and fucking take it off me"; and when all four members of the band meet in the center of the stage after the conclusion of the show. "My Wife", however, made it to the soundtrack of The Kids Are Alright, albeit without any sound restoration, and slightly shortened (comparisons to bootleg versions of this show indicate portions of John Entwistle's vocals were latter overdubbed to correct pitch errors). It includes their first ever live performance of "Who Are You", which would also be their last performance of the song with Moon on stage.
The Coliseum concert on 14 December 1969 was recorded during a tour of European opera houses. Combined with the features in the Extras, nearly the entire performance can be seen.
