The live WGFA version at Shepperton has to be ONE of the best ever live performances period! That alone is thanks to Jeff Stein! Ty Jeff. Rock n roll history in so many ways now.
Sir, you made the perfect rockumentary about a band. This film was not filled with talk and history, but action and music. It fit the subject beautifully.
I for one am very grateful to Jeff for making this movie, It was my first rock show at a cinema. It was so frigging awesome and a great memory. It was the gateway movie that got me into The Who, music, guitars, and concerts.
Sometime around 1975 or 1976, when Jeff and his brother Kevin were working on the film, I went to their house in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and I showed them some silent 8mm films I had shot of the Who at various concerts in the late 60s and 70s. They borrowed my films but didn't end up using any of my footage in the final version of the film, but they told me had almost used a 20-second clip of Keith Moon finishing a drum solo while sitting in with Sha Na Na, then running off stage and somersaulting into the wings - but they had so much good footage with sound and/or in better formats than my little silent 8mm amateur clips. Still, Jeff was kind enough to thank me in the names at the end of the film while the song "The Kids Are Alright" is playing. And of course, as a lifelong Who fan and member of a Who tribute band, I am always grateful that he directed such an amazing film to give us a record of those great early Who years. Thank you again, Jeff and/or Kevin, if you're reading this!
Jeff Stein is a great director. Not only he gave us The Kids Are Alright, he also gave us those Early MTV classics like You Might Think by The Cars, Out Of Touch by Hall & Oates, Don't Come Around Here No More by Tom Petty and Torture by The Jacksons.
there is a WHO show on YT from 'the coliseum' that only exists because Jeff literally rescued it from the trash. and what really makes it more rare is that PT told Bob Pridden to destroy loads of early 70's concert tape that Pete didn't want to be bothered w/ at the time. that's how you make a compilation film. you search. you rescue.I love the story of TheWHO w/ their wives seeing a promotional reel made by Jeff and his editor of 17 minutes. the whole band w/ their families are rolling on the floor w/ joy, watching 'ready steady go', and 'Shindig', featuring literal 'kids' .the very young WHO. it wasn't until then that he knew he'd make the film. God bless him. he realized his vision.

@@brettanderson8794 I just find it interesting, that's all. Especially given that hes being interviewed about The Who. Just a strange fashion choice in this instance.
Jeff Stein gave us one of the absolute best rock 'documentaries'in music history. GOAT

Thank you jeff,, i saw the shepperton live 'wont get fooled again' in 79 as a 15 year old, and became a rock junkie and Who fan immediately!!! Kudos!

Every Who fan stays a die hard fan forever. I am one of them
Me too, since 11 years old.
Me also!

He also directed Dancing In The Dark for Bruce Springsteen but that video was not released
Who is Jeff Stein.
Jeff Stein is a man every Who fan owes a debt of gratitude......Thats Who.

I became a long time Who fan because of this film.
Thank God for Jeff. Simply put, the Who were a matter of life and death. Full stop.
That movie I saw in 1979 and got my first electric guitar at the age of 13- a GIBSON SG , from the Woodstock days ! That's ROCK-N-ROLL ! :-D
I'm as much of a fan of Jeff Stein as I am The Who. What passion. Well done Jeff!
Seems like an interesting guy to sit down and bullshit with.

He's talking about The Who but wearing an Axis: bold as love shirt. Weird.
What he’s wearing matters all that much, because? Also, if you were paying attention you would have heard him mention that he also liked Jimi Hendrix.

@Andy What a dumb detail upon which to take issue; in fact, just a bit more dumb as me taking note of you…
The Who and Jimi were both on Track Records at one time there's the connection I came up with ..
