More than just a parade of celebrities paying homage to Townshend and fellow Olympians Roger Daltrey and John Entwistle, the select visitors here challenge the Who to add new colors to old warhorses (Noel Gallagher's psychedelic tinge on "Won't Get Fooled Again") and delicate semiclassics (Eddie Vedder's sympathetic duet with Townshend on "I'm One"). By the end of a robust evening, Daltrey's voice is shot and Townshend looks ready for a shot of vitamins, but anyone who would declare the Who a bunch of worn-out grandpas is spoiling for a Mod-era stomping. This is an essential set for Who loyalists and a wonderful show for everyone else. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews of The Who - Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Long Live The Who For Godsake !!!!! The Who were the greatest live band ever between 1969-1976? or they still are? Well, The Who here seems like it.
This is truly amazing stuff. The selection of the songs is great too, since includes some rare songs hard to get on video, like "Relay" or "Bargain", and the versions here are awesome.
Keith Moon will be so proud of Zak Starkey (as his dad is for sure). He just has the "Keith Moon" spirit, and that's why The Who are like in the old days in this concert.
John Entwistle as always, superb!!.
Daltrey's in great shape, with a stronger or deeper voice than in the 80s concerts like "Rocks America" or "Tommy Live - 20 anniversary".
Pete Townshend is very inspired and wild. His acoustic performance for a couple of songs in the middle of the show, is superb too.
John "Rabbit" Bundrick is excellent as always and adding the right keyboards for the songs that originally didn't include them.
The only thing I don't like about this concert is the guest singers. I would prefer to listen to Roger singing "Substitute", for example. The only one I enjoy here is Noel Gallagher in "Won't Get Fooled Again", seems he limits to play the guitar (which adds a lot of power to this particular song) and adds backing vocals to the chorus.
Buy this DVD or VHS. The Who were back and this was their testimony. Unfortunally John Entwistle passed away :-(
Maximum T.E.D.
Yes, Maximum Townshend/Entwistle/Daltrey... Add to that the extremely talented Zak Starkey (son of Ringo) and the always great John "Rabbit" Bundrick on keyboards, and you got yourself an amazing show from one of, if not the best live rock performers of all time! Anyone who thinks the bandmates are a bunch of worn out grandpas, I quadruple-dare you to buy this DVD. I don't think there are a lot of people in their mid-fifties that can play a guitar like Pete Townshend. And as for John Entwistle, the BEST bass player of all time, well just watch and listen to his solo during 5:15 and you'll understand what I mean. In fact, I don't there is anyone of them "bands" you see on MTV these days can play like they can! That's a challenge...
As for the DVD itself, I loved the picture and the sound. There was a little too much camera movement, but overall it was well done. The extras on disc 2 were memorable, but too short. Don't tell me they couldn't add at least 30 minutes of more footage. I doubt they only filmed what they put in!
So in conculsion, even if you never heard of the Who (you must have been living in Afghanistan!), I totally recommend this DVD. The songs are great, the performers are great, the special guests are great, everyone and everything in there is great.
Very Good
On November 27, 2000, the Who closed their tour with a concert at the Royal Albert Hall. In my opinion they've never played a better concert. The looseness of the group makes for a relaxed atmosphere and some really great rock and roll. There is a lot of improvisational jamming in between songs. The band acts very free onstage. For instance, when Roger sings the line, "Can I buy your magic bus" Pete screams out "No!" All in all a wonderful performance and a great DVD.
