- Interviews, TV clips and concert footage make up this comprehensive profile of The Who, Britain's premiere rock band.
- Through concert performances and interviews, this film offers us an "inside look" at this famous rock group, The Who. It captures their zany craziness and outrageous antics from the initial formation of the group to its major hit "Who Are You", and features the last performance of drummer Keith Moon just prior to his death.—Concorde - New Horizons
- This first-rate, 100 minute biopic - among the apex of rock on celluloid - appeared as an unwitting tribute to Keith Moon when first issued in 1979. Directed with genuine affection by US fan Jeff Stein, this exhilarating, non-chronologically assembled documentary includes live and lip-synched footage and interviews stretching back to 1964, concluding with WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN from a specially filmed performance at Shepperton Studios in 1978, which turned out to be Moon's last stand. Highlights include non-split screen footage from Woodstock (PINBALL WIZARD, SPARKS and SEE ME, FEEL ME), A QUICK ONE from The Rolling Stones Rock And Roll Circus, and spectacular footage of the band smashing their equipment, notably the (literally) explosive opening sequence from The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967. Also worth mentioning are some amusing and insightful interviews with Pete Townshend stretching back to 1965 and the non-performance B&W promotional film made for HAPPY JACK in 1966. The Kids Are Alright is the definitive rock documentary, essential not only to Who fans but lovers of music in general.
