Teenage Cancer Trust. Roger Daltrey does allow himself a smirk as he declaims his famous hope that he'll die before he gets old, but other than that, The Who are to be commended for playing their reunion entirely straight. Their souped-up rhythm'n'blues was always propelled by a self-belief as fervent as it was absolute; had any irony been allowed to impinge on proceedings here, the spectacle of three men well into their 50s delivering a set of what remain definitive hymns to youth and its attendant furies would have been wholly preposterous. As it is, the three surviving members of The Who (Daltrey, Pete Townshend, Jon Entwhistle) combine with keyboardist John Bundrick and drummer Zak Starkey (son of Ringo Starr) to altogether engaging effect. There is, obviously, nothing wrong with the songs "Pinball Wizard", "The Kids Are Alright", "You Better You Bet", and they all get the treatment they deserve here. In fact, the only downsides are the many guest performances, which are either redundant, like Noel Gallagher's rhythm guitar on "Won't Get Fooled Again", or actually detrimental, like Kelly Jones' dreadful braying of "Substitute".On the DVD:The widescreen DVD is enhanced for 16:9 TVs. The second disc of extras includes backstage and rehearsal footage, the option to watch the performance of "Pinball Wizard" from a variety of angles, and an interview with Roger Daltrey, which he devotes principally to his work for the Teenage Cancer Trust, who were the beneficiaries of the concert. Also included is a derisory booklet of hopeless out-of-focus photos of the show taken by Bryan Adams, who would be well advised, on this evidence, to stick with the day job. --Andrew Mueller

The Teenage Cancer Trust focus on the needs of teens with cancer as it is very difficult when they are in wards with young children or much older people. They do work in the US and UK and help support families of patients and also help try to set upi specialist areas in wards more suitable for teens who need company of peers.

I rewatched this DVD on Sat night, and it is still one of my favourite live DVD's. The energy of the band on stage is amazing and the bit at the end where some of the cancer patients are on stage is very moving.

The original members of the Who (Roger Daltrey, Pete Townshend, John Entwhistle) are completed with John 'rabbit' Bundrick on keys and Zak Starkey on drums.
The full track lists contains all the favourites: I Can't Explain, Anyway Anyhow Anywhere, Pinball Wizard, Relay, My Wife, The Kids are Alright, Bargain, Magic Bus, Who are You, Baba O'Riley, Drowned, Heart to Hang Onto, So Sad about Us, I'm One, Behind Blue Eyes, You Better you Bet, The Real Me, 5:15, Won't get Fooled Again, Substitute, Lets See Action, My Generation, See Me Feel Me.
The special features include rehearsal and backstage footage and an interview with Roger Daltrey. The run time is 144 minutes, so I think its great value for money. I got mine in HMV for about £15.00 but I've watched it several times already. I got it for my mum, but we both love the Who and watch it together.
I rate the Who as one of the top Rock Bands of all time - up there with Queen as live performers they give it there all and interact really well with the audience. I would recommend this to Who fans or anyone who loves guitar based rock n rock. If you like any of the special guests you'll see the buzz they get playing with this band who are a legend...
You can sit and watch this or have it on in the background while entertaining friends/having a meal. I really like buying music DVD's instead of CD's as you can see the amazing techniques as well - especially Townshends famous windmill style playing of striking the guitar!!
