Just purchased Amazing Journey with the extra 79' show in Chicago.
Hmmm...s'ok. 80% of the live footage can be seen in The Kids Are Alright, I was expecting so much more than that, but the interviews were nice.
I was most impressed however with the footage of "The High Numbers" from '64. Abso-fucking-lutley AMAZING! Unbelievable that that's what they sounded like in '64. If I were in a band currently I would KILL to get that sound! Moon was not human, from another planet. Its just mind-blowing to me that that footage is from '64. And that whole short film is just great, with those *mostly* deadpan mods, that whole party, reminds of the party scene from the Quadrophenia film.
I Love The Who. One thing that Amazing Journey does is show that hands down they were probably the best live band of their time, their frenetic chaotic energy is just unmatched by anyone, imo.
I've always maintained that if you reeled in the energy of The Who live (with Moon) and focused it you'd have Led Zeppelin. And consequently if you unbound the energy of Zep live and let it spin off in four directions you have The Who. Love 'em both dearly.
