"the world's first rock 'n' roll disaster movie."







I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

I know if I go things would be a lot better for her
I had things planned, but her folks wouldn't let her

I don't mind other guys dancing with my girl
That's fine, I know them all pretty well
But I know sometimes I must get out in the light
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away
And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright

La película contiene material de archivo entre 1964 a 1978. Stein se tardó 2 años recopilando el material.Stein siendo un fan de la película, buscaba sacar a la luz material que estaba a punto de perderse, donde la banda se lucía con presentaciones inolvidables.

A mí me gusta mucho, la banda queda perfectamente bien plasmada. El genio de Townsend, la locura de Moon, la discresión de Entwistle.No se sigue un orden cronológico, y creo que es por lo mismo. El objetivo era mostrar a la banda como era, y ahi, en medio de todo el caos, poder ver la genialidad.


La edición de sonido fue supervisada por Entwistle.

La película fue estrenada en el Junio de 1979, 10 meses después de la muerte de Keith Moon. Quien después de una velada en casa de Paul Mcartney apareció muerto al día siguiente, de una sobredosis de un calmante para aliviar los síntomas del síndrome de abstinencia. (Moon era alcohólico)

"When fans talk to me about Keith I don't think they realize that I hated him, I mean I loved him, but I absolutely hated him for killing himself and throwing his life away."
- Pete Townsend.



The Who's drum position is currently occupied by Zak Starkey, son of Ringo Starr. Starkey was taught by Moon and referred to him as Uncle Keith.
