Tell me you didn't see this coming? :)  I gave up on this project long ago. 
All the footage useful to fans will probably fill half of one DVD. This 
maybe the first DVD set to need a "all you need" edition instead of a deluxe 
edition.  A few months after release a single DVD with only actual footage 
of the band will be done with the rest of the crap deleted.  :)

I'm guessing the lack of complete songs is due to the cost of licensing fees 
Spitfire would have to pay.  I know in the case of the London '69 and 
Kilburn footage they can't find all of the films.

I really hope the bit with actors was dropped. The cheese factor on that was 
way too high. Besides if you can't afford film clips you sure can't afford 
actors, and everything else that goes into making a dramatic film.  My guess 
is their story will be told by countless and infinitely stupid  interviews. 
"The Who were great, man!"
