Story Synopsis:
The Who And Special Guests perform a benefit concert for Teenage Cancer Trust Live At Royal Albert Hall. “Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere” they choose to perform, The Who can’t lose with classics like “I Can’t Explain,” “Who Are You,” and “Pinball Wizard.” “There’s No Substitute” for The Who, but when joined by other artists to perform titles like “Baba O’Reilly” (aka “Teenage Wasteland”) and “I’m One,” this two disc DVD set is priceless. (Suzanne Hodges)
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced 1.78:1 DVD picture exhibits a sharp and detailed stage performance. Colors are rich and well balanced, with deep blacks backgrounds. The fog and stage lighting provide an atmospheric softness that is appropriate. There are occasional instances in which some pixelization is noticed or aliasing problems occur, but otherwise fans should be thrilled. (Suzanne Hodges)
Soundtrack:
The multichannel sonic presentations fully engage and energize the soundstage, and despite being live performance recordings and tending to sound “raw” in nature, actually seem pleasing and engaging to experience. Fidelity is fairly notable. You’re likely to desire a volume level somewhat below film reference. The .1 LFE is active throughout, but deep bass below 25 Hz isn’t particularly prominent. The DTS® Digital Surround™ version sounds slightly more coherent spatially, as well as a bit more refined tonally, especially in the midrange. (Perry Sun)
