The Who live at the Isle of Wight Festival, UK - August 29, 1970 - Description: The Who playing "Young Man Blues" at the Isle Of Wight must be one of the single greatest filmed rock performances of all time, and although it has been officially released several times, none of them sound like The Who live, thanks to badly mixed and mastered soundboard audio. So again it's up to the fans to present an alternative, and I have spent quite some time working with the best "unofficial" sources I could find to create what I feel is the closest I could get to a proper representation of the band's massive wall of sound. I am very happy with the results, and Pete in particular benefits from the work that has been done with his guitar sound. It is pure proto punk/noise/shoegaze/drone/metal/sludge/doom-heaven! I have also worked with the colours, trying to make them match the photos we've seen of the night, with a darker and more "blueish" appearance. My "unofficial" video source might not be the best available in terms of resolution, but it's a worthy alternative to the official version (currently available on blu-ray through Eagle Rock), and to my mind a "truer" view of the event. You be the judge. There is way too little footage of The Who at their peak, so what is out there is worth obsessing about. This is a good starting point. - Please note that this video and its soundtrack does NOT infringe copyright. This is a fan project made out of unofficial sources. -
