4 stars This concert video was recorded in November 2000 during a benefit concert, with The Who playing the songs with some guests in some songs. It is one of the last recorded appearances of John Entwistle (who died in June 2002) with the band, and it includes an excellent bass guitar solo section by him. This concert video is very good as shows the band playing very well, with a lot of energy. Particularly, the inclusion of Zak Starkey as drummer since 1996 improved the band a lot since Keith Moon`s death and in my opinion he has been the most adequate drummer for the band`s music style, playing in a similar way like Moon did with the band (he was in fact given some drums lessons during his childhood by Moon himself). The sound and images are very good, and it is maybe one of the best concerts I have seen from the band wiithout Keith Moon.The inclusion of John Bundrick as keyboard player also improved the band`s playing during the concerts. So, I think that this line-up of the band (Daltrey, Entwistle, Townshend, Starkey and Bundrick) was the best line-up since the death of Moon. The inclusion of guests in some songs was a good idea, bringing some variety to the playing of some songs. Their performances are good in general.
