The Who Live at Shea Stadium 1982

The video is the best that could be expected in a video that is 33 years old. It's of the period… which means even though it was remastered but the source is of VHS -HiFi quality. There is only so much a producer can do this footage. Again, it is very good… but don't compare it to something shot in 4K today and presented on a 4K television. There is only so much someone can do within tis video. Since it was likely never considered for release at the time… The Who did release most of the Toronto show (missing several songs). This is where this download fails the Blu-Ray. The Blu-Ray contains three songs played the first night of this two night stand that weren't played the second night (My Generation, A Man Is A Man and 5:15) which is not included here. All that said Pete Townshend has said over the years that these concerts were the band at their pinnacle. He felt that the band would never again reach these highs. I'd contest that this is the best Who performance committed to video. It is a moment in time when The Who were the biggest band in the world and is certainly a nice edition to any collection, if for no other reason than it is a document when the Who were still performing new material (Oddly enough the band had dropped several songs from 1981's "Face Dances". It is a greatest hits show, but some ix post Moon songs are included and they dig deep into their catalog with "Tattoo", "I'm One" and The Naked Eye". The sound is very good and remixed with 5.1. Only the video quality lags behind.
