About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

This double CD is pretty similar in sound and content to the expanded Live at Leeds album, except there's much more from Tommy, and a few semi-obscure numbers like "I Don't Even Know Myself," "Water," and "Naked Eye." Hardcore Who fanatics seem to prefer Live at Leeds, which was recorded only a few months before this material. That viewpoint is understandable: the performances are sharper on Leeds, and if you're not a big-league fan, that single-disc set is a more economical survey of the band in concert during this era. If you do like the Who a lot, though, Isle of Wight is worth having. The sound and performances are decent, although be aware that the band's on-stage version of Tommy omits some decent songs from the opera, such as "Sensation" and "Underture."

October 16, 2003: This is probably the best live album that they have ever released. This concert has a lot of explosive energy and charisma. The highlights on it are: Water, Naked Eye and a almost complete Tommy. I listen to this almost everyday, in fact, I'm listening to it now! When ever you find this album, buy it!!! (Buy two incase you wear out the first one!)
