THE POWER…THE MAJESTY…
THE WHO LIVE IN TEXAS ’75 ON DVD AND DIGITAL
VIDEO OCTOBER 9
Eagle Rock is thrilled to present
one of the greatest live bands in rock’n’roll
history: The Who Live In Texas ’75 on
DVD October 9
Pete Townshend. Roger Daltrey. Keith
Moon. John Entwistle. Filmed in
Houston, Texas 11/20/75, it was right at the
start of a massive tour of the U.S. to promote
The Who By Numbers, their seventh album
in their 10th year of existence. With Dolby
Digital Stereo sound, this 117-minute 25-
song bomb blast—previously only available
as a muddled bootleg—has been pridefully
restored to its rightful visual and sonic
superiority by longtime Who collaborator
Jon Astley.
Filmed only five years after what arguably is the greatest live album in rock, Live
At Leeds, The Who Live In Texas ’75, lives up to and in some ways actually
surpasses its predecessor’s greatness. The Who, at that particular point in time,
had achieved an unerring almost magical mystical chemistry. Between the
windmilling antics of guitarist Townshend, the mic wire lasso of lead singer
Daltrey, the crazed bombastic danger of drummer Moon (1946-1978) and, of
course, their secret weapon, genius bassist John Entwistle (1944-2002), this
was a truly revolutionary band who changed all the hard rock rules. Even the
punks, in the anti-rock star era of the late ‘70s, loved The Who.
The extensive Tommy section…the savage recreations of early hits such as “My
Generation” (with its iconic “hope I die before I get old” line delivered in all its
lusty nihilistic truth)…the celebrated cover of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime
Blues”…plus “Baba O’Riley” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again” make this a Who
fan’s delight.
