Concert For New York DVD



The BIG Picture Review has a long review of the new
Concert For New York DVD (did anybody buy it
yesterday?). There are also pictures from the disc
including a nice one of Pete. It's at
http://www.thebigpicturedvd.com/cgi-bin/master/viewer.cgi/The_Concert_For_New_York_City

Here's The Who section:
"While all the acts did a marvelous job, from David
Bowie who opened the concert to Paul McCartney who
closed it and everyone in between including Keith
Richards and Mick Jagger, the show was dominated by
The Who, who positively electrified and pumped up the
crowd as no act before or after.  As Roger Daltrey
exclaims in a gutteral cry 'we won't get fooled
again', the image of the New York skyline, complete
with the Twin Towers was on the video screen and the
poignance of the message is felt deeply. The Who
looked even better here in their brief four song set
than they did in their recent concert at the Royal
Albert Hall. Pete Townshend expelled as much energy as
I've ever seen from him."

Thanks to Dan B over at alt.music.who for pointing
this out.
