Review

A star rating of 3 out of 5.

David Parkinson

The value of this "rockumentary" trip through the highs and lows of the Who's career was increased by the death of the band's extrovert drummer, Keith Moon, in September 1978. However, fans will probably not want to dwell on the frankly depressing final concert footage, preferring, instead, to see him in classic 1960s action, when his hellraising was matched by extraordinary on-stage energy. Director Jeff Stein occasionally errs into hagiography, but there's a generous sampling of hits (and the odd miss), interviews and rare archival material, as well as guest appearances by Tom Smothers, Steve Martin, Ringo Starr, Melvyn Bragg and Jeremy Paxman.
