The Who: Live in Hyde Park (Deluxe Book+DVD+Blu-ray+2CD) will be released on November 20 and can be preordered on Amazon.



[www.amazon.co.uk]

Since I was there, I will have to pick it up

Saw this in the cinema, and the whole experience was ruined because of a crap sound system and insufficient volume. So I will definitely be getting the DVD and playing it LOUD at home !!

[ I want to shout, but I can hardly speak ]

Definitely will be getting this one as I was there, right up front on the day, with the usual suspects.

My only disappointment with this set as well as Glastonbury is that they didn't play A Quick One, it was amazing when I saw it in Miami in April but they never played it at the three shows(New Orleans, Hyde Park & Glastonbury) that we have proshot footage from.

Bummer, looks like this is only a UK release.

Is Blu-ray universal, or will a European version not work in the States?

It's on Amazon.com too: [www.amazon.com]

Thanks!

Maybe the U.S. version has not been announced yet? With the U.S. tour starting in the spring there would certainly be demand for it.

A heads up for anyone in London next February - a possible show at the Wembley Arena on 13th February, not confirmed yet but a distinct possibility. You heard it here first!

Well that would be good as a warmup two weeks before start of North America Tour. They got time to fit a couple more gigs in after Wembley Arena. They don't want the rust to set in.

I might have a prior engagement cos there's another British band playing in South America at that time. Hoping I can get over there.

And another all London band at that! Looking forward to this DVD.

Yes ! Definitely Gregor.

Any word on how Roger is getting on, nothing in the press about his condition.
Hope he is on the mend

"I'd like to say a big thank you to all you Who fans for your kind wishes following my recent bout of viral meningitis. The good news is that I'm now out of hospital and on the mend, although it's going to be a slow process but – I WILL be back! Both me and Pete are looking forward to seeing you all at the rescheduled shows in the new year. Be happy, be healthy, be lucky!"

Thanks Cristiano great news, not many of these guys left performing now, they are precious

In my opinion the Who's music has not aged well. I was a big fan in the 70s and 80s and now I can't really listen to them.

Not as bad a Zepplin ... man has that stuff aged badly ....



ROCKMAN

Well I for one am looking forward to my next Who gig and the Hyde Park DVD , cos I was there and it was great. ><

A one off gig at Wembley Arena in mid Feb would be an excellent pick me up in the middle of the long yucky British Winter

eh, I'd say it has aged well. They do have a fairly diverse catalog

The one band whose music has aged terribly (and they've been in the public eye since "only" 1980) is U2.

Billy Joel too. His music does not age well.

it's possible i was so turned off by the whole "who's last" debacle that i'm not giving them a chance they deserve.

THE WHO HITS WEMBLEY!
SSE presents THE WHO, one of rock’s legendary and defining bands, as they return to London for a one off show at The SSE Arena, Wembley on 13 February 2016.

The band have released a career-spanning set, THE WHO HITS 50! and are undertaking a huge world tour, which has garnered rave reviews. This will be the band’s first UK show since Roger Daltrey’s illness forced the band to postpone their US tour. He’s said of the show "Who'd have thought that fifty years on from first playing at Wembley Arena with The Beatles and many of the top groups of that time, The Who would once again play at this legendary venue. It's great to be feeling much better after my illness. I'll be fighting fit by then and I can't wait to get back to work."

It will be The Who’s first UK gig since their triumphant sold out show in Hyde Park and headlining the Glastonbury Festival to huge critical acclaim;

Glastonbury Festival
• Proof that rock star status is earned, not claimed ~ The Times
• The Who earned themselves a place in the pantheon of Glastonbury greats ~ Daily Telegraph
• Sparky, belligerent and packed with hits ~ The Guardian
• That’s the way to end a festival ***** ~ Daily Telegraph

Barclaycard Presents British Summer Time Hyde Park
• A blistering barrage, genuinely moving ~ The Independent
• Meet the new Who, same as the great, old Who ~ Daily Telegraph

At The SSE Arena, Wembley the band will take the audience on an Amazing Journey through their entire career from the days of THE HIGH NUMBERS to classic albums such as WHO’S NEXT, TOMMY, QUADROPHENIA, MY GENERATION, WHO ARE YOU up to the present day.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already.

The Who are going to be doing a one-off show at Wembley Arena (SSE Arena) on 13 February.

I've much, much rather go to South America to see the stones (and I'd also love to see South America) - but at least this is some consolation for those of us unable to make it to SA.

This time I'm determined to go! (unlike the Hyde Park show this summer, which I missed).

Hope I die before I get old...errr...too late!

Which makes me think of Ian Gillan's stage shirt recently. It says "too old to die young". He's always had a funny and great way of seeing things

Got the Live in Hyde Park blu-ray yesterday. It's top knotch. The performance is outstanding & the filming is fine. Not too many annoying shots of the crowd (my complaint about Sweet Summer Sun). A few interviews thrown in that aren't too intrusive. One unexpected pleasure is how much Zak Starkey shines on this. He is a fine drummer & carries the spirit of Keith Moon well. No "A Quick One" but I'll take "Bargain" over that any day. "Eminence Front" has aged real well, too. Looking forward to seeing them in May!

With all the controversy over plagiarism aside, I totally disagree that they haven't aged well. Actually, I think they sound better now then I did in the 70s! I love cranking out their stuff loud. Some great stuff. Physical Graffiti is still an incredible piece of work. Their Exile.
