The Who: From The Bush to The Valley



Buyer Beware!!!
This dvd is a re-release of Chrome Dreams' film, "The Who Under Review". If you have not purchased that dvd, (as I unfortunately did), you will enjoy the program.
Chrome Dreams has a very bad habit of re-releasing their dvds under new names to resell old product. I wish they would stop this practice.
This dvd is very well produced, however, and the critics and writers who narrate do a fine job of telling the story of the early Who. There are many music exerpts, and the sound quality is very good.
As I said, if you haven't purchased the original dvd, you will enjoy the show.

Re-issue
It's a re-release of The Who Under Review! If you own The Who Under Review DO NOT BUY THIS!!!
I wish I had known this before I bought it. The only redeeming quality is that the packaging is nicer!

Don't bother, even if you don't own the other version
This video says it covers "The Keith Moon Years", but only as long as those years are 1964-68. It stops before Tommy!! Short of some interview footage with Shel Talmy, this is nothing but rehashed video clips already available elsewhere.

It's also only an hour. A good hour, I guess, but could be so much more. I still can't get over that it stops before Tommy.
