    who

    Had the Amazing Journey box set for christmas and haven't had the chance to watch it yet. Luckily I got the chance today and loved every minute of it. Being a Who fan, this review made me slightly biased but this documentry give me extra insight into the careers of the 4 members, which I might not have known before. For instance someone of my generation "no pun intended" my only have heard of them through teh CSI songs, which is slightly irritating.

    This documentry manges to cram most things into the 2 hr running time. My only objection is that it didn't cover Quadrophenia.

    The band went through some rough times, which is stated in the film. From the deaths of Keith Moon, John Entsiwtsle and the often violent arguments Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend. What I found interesting was that Pete Towsend wrote most of the songs and Daltry wasn't necessarily the core of the band. Pete Towsend also wrote the two films Tommy and Quadophenia.

    This documentry is well constructed and gives all the insight you need into the band without trying to cram it all in. It also features some unseen footage from the days of the '60's to behind the scenes footage at gigs.

    Overall a highly recomnded rock documentry to all rock fans....well worth the wait!

    Hyper not just in the clips of The Who (not the Two) but a little bolic from the interviews although Pete and Roger never go into the ego side of themselves. Keith John will be missed and him and John just make you pissed at the guys who tried to replace them (as mi abuelo put it...( read more), "This last part is bullshit.") Which it very much so is due to the nature that what The Who did as four people was natural and cannot be created if one of the bumpers can't spin. It's tilt at the end but when you see what was and still is in this shortsweetlittlebig documentary it is super music and super Mockin' Fuzz for all time in a GOOD NOISE type of way.

    Loved every minute of it. If you love or like The Who, check this documentary out as soon as you can. I have seen lots of concert footage but this doc goes deeper into the band's beginnings. I really enjoyed seeing those early shows in the clubs. Also, it was great to see the...( read more) poster art as the band kept changing its name and members. Love seeing Keith Moon making Pete Townsend get even more wild. The early history between Townsend and Daltrey was especially noteworthy. Lastly, any chance to see the amazing John Entwiistle is a blessed one. You may be able to catch a repeat of this movie on VH1. Keep your eyes open.
