So I'm watching this new documentary on The Who called Amazing Journey. It's on VH1 Classics. If you are a Who fan, or like watching this kind of behind the scenes things, I suggest you check it out. It's pretty good, maybe not great, but good.

Man, The Who was a great live band from around 68 until Moonie died. Maybe I'll bust out Live At Leeds tomorrow.

Weak, they show Moon being carried off at the Cow Palace show, but didn't show how the Who finished the set with a kid from the audience.

I watched that Saturday night. It was pretty good with a lot of old footage from the 60's. At first I thought it was awesome that there were no commercials, but then I needed a break for refueling! The footage from 65 when they were doing 'Heatwave' was pretty funny. They were a cover band but they played everything a lot heavier. Pretty cool show though.

Yeah, I never saw footage of them when they were still called the highnumbers. They were heavy for their time (it's all relative).

I wish I could get times and listings for VH1 Classics. I stumbled across the Who show twice over the weekend, but didn't want to watch bits and pieces. I wanna see it beginning to end.

Here you go, my bald headed brutha! Their site stinks, I can't figure out how to search by title.

That is one of my favorite channels anymore, esp at night. Lots of concerts. The BBC Crown Jewel series has been great - Faces, Police, AC-DC. The Classic Albums has been cool too. I saw Number of the Beast the other night. A bunch of Kiss shows, Heaven & Hell. I even saw vintage Twisted Sister the other night. :twisted:

I agree, I've been DVR'ing a lot of stuff. The Hendrix movie was pretty decent.
