Thirty years after the death of lengendary drummer Keith Moon of The Who, you can see him on stage again. Well, on film to be precise.
One of Moon's final performances, the 1977 Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn (London) concert has been digitally restored and remastered. The concert, orginally recorded for Jeff Stein's "The Kids are Alright" film, was shot in 35 mm. Thirty years later, restored footage combined with never before seen footage of The Who's 1969 London Coliseum show plays at your local theater tonight.
Marcus Theaters host a one-night-only showing of "The Who at Kiburn 1977." Featuring 29 songs, the film includes "I Can't Explain", "Who Are You" and "Dreaming from the Waist."
Check the Marcus Theater Web site for theaters hosting tonight's 8 p.m. showing.
The film was released on DVD on Nov. 18 and was shown on PBS back in September.

It wasn't awesome, it was a shoddy performance. It was a subpar concert at best. It was apparent that they hadn't rehearsed in over a year and it showed in the DVD.

Caught this in HD on PBS a few weeks back. It was awesome. One of the best bands, ever. I'd rather spend the $$$ on the new DVD.

Why do they insist on doing these sorts of things on a Monday night?
