Mod rockers the Who are captured live by director Murray Lerner at the legendary Isle of Wight festival in 1970, attended by 600,000 people. All the old classics are included in a typically energetic set; Moon the Loon, Roger the Dodger and Pete... the guitarist. And John Entwistle on bass. This is the first DVD release, without the extra material found on the DVD/Blu-ray re-release of 2006.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was the final UK performance of the original four members—Moon died eight years later, Entwistle in 2002.
The 2006 re-release added 35 minutes and color-corrected footage, but purists argue the raw 1998 cut captures the actual 'vibe of the tribe.'
