The Who at the Prime

Reviewed in Canada on April 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

I love this DVD because it captures The Who at their absolute prime. It's a copy of the much celebrated Dec 1982 Final Concert of their North American Farewell Tour. Filmed at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens, this was the first concert to be broadcast live around the world. The band is in top physical and musical form, without the need for any backup players. True power trio. Only negative aspect has to due with the audio/video quality as it is quite grainy, as though pulled from VHS tape. Otherwise I's give it 5 stars.

A wee bit disappointed, but...

I was hoping that the quality would have been upscaled over the VHS copy of this I already own, but it looks like the original VHS was simply scanned in...it was and still is a fantastic show...hoping it gets the treatment it deserves one day, but happy that I don't have to fire up a VHS player to watch this any longer :-)

Quality isn't to par, looks like VHS.

I've bought a few DVD's about THE WHO's last concert in Toronto, and all of the DVD's that I've watched have a VHS quality look to it. I don't know why this is the case about this particular concert. Maybe the master tapes weren't recorded properly by THE WHO.
I would skip on this purchase unless you really are a true WHO fan. The DVD quality resembles a Bootleg, but the Audio portion is recorded in Dolby stereo!

Sorry.

Must be played in 5.1 sound to fully enjoy this!

Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2012

Verified Purchase

Many reviews of the bad sound is true for 2.0 sound or played through a TV, but if you have a true 5.1 system, the 5.1 mix is very good and you get alot of separation.
The video quality is very good, though it seems to have been transfered from a VHS tape, but the quality is still very good.
The Who here is super tight, the give a steller performance! The set list is A+, rare songs live like "Love aint for keeping" and "Love reign over me". There are also a few songs from the "It's Hard" album as this was the albums tour. The Ox plays two songs, "Boris the Spider" and "The Quiet One". This show truly is fantastic! See the Who still in the prime in the second phase of their careers just a few years after Keith Moon had passed away.
This show was originally filmed for HBO and I believe the audio was used for the now out of print "Whos Last" album.
So dont let the bad reviews deter you from buying this. It sounds great in 5.1, the picture quality is very good but The Who are EXCELLENT!

1982: la première tournée d'adieu des WHO...

Reviewed in France on January 8, 2014

Verified Purchase

Ce "Live from Toronto" s'avère bien meilleur quant à la qualité de l'image et du son que le "Live Generations" du même millésime, enregistré lors de cette mémorable tournée d'adieu de 1982.

Détrompez-vous tout de suite, les WHO sont loin d'apparaître usés ou finis dans cette prétendue tournée d'adieu, bien au contraire! Quelques titres composés à cette époque dont "It's hard" ,"Eminence Front" et "Squeeze Box" sont joués, parmi tous les autres classiques du groupe. Ce concert nous donne aussi l'occasion d'apprécier Kenney Jones aux percussions , bref successeur du regretté Keith Moon. A noter aussi, chose rare, un John Entwistle plus extraverti qu'à l'accoutumée.

Un enregistrement public des WHO à posséder incontestablement sur les rayons de sa médiathèque. Un de plus!

Historisches Who-Konzert in leider nicht ganz perfekter DVD-Umsetzung

Reviewed in Germany on July 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

Live in Toronto ist die DVD zum vermeintlich letzten Who – Konzert, welches am 17.12.1982 im Maple Leafs Garden in Toronto stattfand. Danach war bekanntlich erstmal Funkstille für einige Jahre. Ich habe mir die DVD zugelegt, da ich früher bereits die VHS-Kassette des Konzertes (The Who – Rocks America) besaß und mir diese recht gut gefallen hat.
Die DVD ist absolut identisch mit der VHS-Kassette und besitzt weder Extras, noch scheint sie in Bild oder Ton überarbeitet worden zu sein. Im Gegenteil: das Bild ist leicht verschwommen bzw. etwas unscharf. Hier hat die gute alte VHS-Kassette sogar leichte Vorteile.
Nichtsdestotrotz: für Who-Fans dürfte die immerhin 30 Jahre alte Aufnahme durchaus ihren Reiz haben, zumal der Stereo-Sound eigentlich recht passabel ist. Gerade im Vergleich zu den zahllosen neueren DVD-Veröffentlichungen (Royal Albert Hall, Live In Boston) zeigt sich hier in Sachen Bühnenpräsenz eine deutlich vitalere Band. Insbesondere der viel kritisierte Kenney Jones bildet mit Entwistle ein gut harmonierendes Rhythmus-Gespann, Daltrey ist stimmlich hier noch gut drauf und einige eher selten gespielte Songs (Naked Eye, Young Man Blues) werden in gelungenen Versionen dargeboten.
Auch wenn es deutlich kreativere Jahre in der Bandhistorie gab und die DVD-Umsetzung einiges besser hätte sein können.
Für Who-Fans eigentlich ein Muss !

Who Toronto 1982 concert

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 14, 2008

Verified Purchase

This is DVD of the Who Toronto concert is well worth having for your Who collection for a number of reasons.

You can buy any number of Who concert CD's and DVD's which feature mostly their back catalogue, but here they have been daring enough to divide the mix between old and new material.

I do like to watch a group playing their old numbers on DVD so I can play along to them and see how they play them and also to pick up any new arrangements they play.

The Toronto concert saw the Who at a pivotal point in their career where they had recently lost Keith Moon and brought in Kenney Jones on Drums and Tim Gorman on keyboards. This allowed the music to have a different sound than before.

Owning the 2 CD Who Ultimate Collection, I have the benefit of being able to compare the original CD studio tracks with some of the Live Toronto ones. There is a world of difference playing live as opposed to the Studio as I do both and although the music sound quality is not digital, it is nonetheless a small price to pay for great renditions of their work.

I would also recommend buying the CD version of this DVD.

The music on this DVD as I have said is a departure from the solid oldies show and was daring and works at a time when the group would probably have been derided for taking these new tracks out on the road, they illustrate that about 20 years after their formation, the group could still write and perform quality songs that would still be valid years after.
