This "documentary"--I don't like using the word when talking about this film--is like a box of chocolates: there are delicious ones (live performances), and foul-tasting ones (those awful interviews with smug TV presenters). I looked at the booklet and whenever we were about to see Russell Harty or another one of his ilk I used the track skip button on my remote. I subtracted two stars for the interviews, thus 8/10.
The performances are glorious. I've never heard Entwhistle's bass sound so vibrant, and Moon is playing the hell out of the drums--great sound. Won't Get Fooled Again is my favourite song, it's given a great rendition here. Townshend is often inspired, Daltrey's in good voice. What a treat.
