My suspicion is that they just winged this show. Just goes to show: every band needs to rehearse!

This DVD ought to have a sticker on it saying, "For Who fanatics/completists only".
Even without the cock-ups, Townshend appears to be faking it, going completely over the top by "performing" before the film cameras like some kind of theme park sea lion with a series of contrived antics and endless jumping around, until he ends up complaining about having nothing worthwhile to put on film.
It's the Who imitating the Who.
As for the bonus gig from 1969, only historians/archivists could find it even mildly entertaining, which is sadly all this DVD amounts to; a piece of history.

Maybe Pete will get around to making deluxe editons of By Numbers, Quadrophenia and Who Are You. I think those are the only Moon studio albums that haven't gotten the treatment yet. If Who Sell Out gets the treatment like you said.

WHO ARE YOU was already re-released with bonus tracks several years ago.
"New Song" some fine Keith drum work,perhaps his best IMO.

Amazing Journey/Sparks on the London disc is probably the best version ever. Better than Leeds, Woodstock, Tanglewood and any other version I´ve ever heard. Absolutely incredible.

Who By Numbers has actually been prepared for a deluxe release. It was due out this year, but was pulled. It was rumoured to include a full band Blue Red & Grey and a couple of recently discovered outtakes. The bonus disc was supposed to have most of the Swansea gig on it.
Quadrophenia is due a 4 disc (three CDS -album proper on two discs, outtakes and alternate mixes on the third disc and a DVD as the fourth) reissue at some point.

Sorry to disappoint everyone but a friend of mine has put together the Who Sell Out double CD which will be released next March. He is in the Who inner sanctum and says there are no plans to bring out a multidisc version of Quadrophenia or Who By Numbers.
The only project that might come to fruition is a double CD version of Odd And Sods which would add hard to find B-sides and other rare tracks but nothing that hasn't surfaced on boots before.
For those that are interested the Who Sell Out will be in stereo and mono versions plus all the extra tracks from the existing expanded edition and four other songs. These include a second totally unreleased version of Rael, an unreleased version of Summertime Blues, and Glittering Girl with Daltry singing, not Pete.

Townshend has said that after the completion of The Who Sell Out double CD edition his priorities no longer lie in The Who's back catalogue.
